[AC Question]

I left home this morning at 8am and my phone was at 98%. At 10am, my phone dropped to 34%. I was on it (email and internet for 15 minutes and the battery went straight to ZERO.
As it was charging, I checked the battery usage and saw my phone was using 35% of the battery. How does this suddenly happen and what can I do to fix it?
My community is flooding right now and I must have my phone operable at all times right now.

Two common possibilities here:
- your email app is checking for new mail far too often (not likely).
- the flooding is affecting the cel towers causing the phone to need to boost the radio power which eats battery power.
