S6 Edge - Battery Life Deteriorating Since Purchase
Hello there,
I'v had my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB for around about 3-4 weeks now (since UK launch) and I thought it was the best purchase I'v ever made for a phone. However I have noticed over the past 3-4 days an dramatic, no, insane! drop in battery power.
I'll give you a few examples of the battery life putting a frown on my face and a what the f* is happening?! moments,
1: Left the S6 Edge on charge over-night next to me, minor use all day and was even plugged into my car charger whilst out and about, left me with 43% - 45% when I went to bed (forgot my charging cable, left it in the car). I woke up the next morning luckily not having work so didn't need the alarm! and the phone was dead.
2: 100% charged this morning, used GPS / Google Maps at Sat Nav for about a 40 minute journey, on arrival I was waiting on my fiancee so I turned off both GPS and shutdown maps. I use two app killing programs, one to free up ram and one to remove cached files that I don't need. This left the battery at 65%, I came back to use the Sat Nav to get home after the phone being in my pocket unused for 3 hours and the battery was on 30%!!
As you can imagine the battery died on the journey home.
I don't understand why? I'v checked my battery usage and screen use is 25%, google services which I'm unsure is, uses 22% and Google App uses 15%.
Rest of my apps are minor usage all below 10%. With Android System sitting at the bottom at 2%.
I don't understand the crazy drop in battery life I'm getting? I could use to leave my phone un-plugged and idle overnight and only lose 5%-10% battery life. (WiFi on) but to lose 30-40% overnight is just crazy.
Any suggestions as to what might be happening?
Thanks.
