Ok, so I am hoping this isn't just another thread on poor battery performance, as I am quite stumped by the behavior of my phone.
I've had the phone less than a week, I bought it used. From Wednesday to Friday, the battery drain was super fast and it runs HOT sometimes, to the point I have to take it out of my pocket. It lasts me half a day at work... where I am not using it much. I thought I had a dud battery and was preparing to take it to a service center and pay for a new battery. However, I wake up Saturday morning, and notice that by the time I brush my teeth and get dressed, the phone is still at 100%, not 95% like it was the first three days. I go the whole day (until about 9pm without a charge, and the battery doesn't get hot). Same thing on Sunday. On the weekend I use the phone a lot more, playing games etc... so I'm quite pleased with the battery life.
I wake up this morning, and the battery life is back to being garbage and running hot. It's lunch time and I've had to plug it in because I was down to 7%. I guess the phone doesn't like work days...
I haven't changed any settings, haven't added anything, so I am trying to figure out if there is something in my weekday usage that the phone doesn't like. The only things I can think of are, I run Google play music on my commute, I use my alarm on weekdays, and this weekend I was home for the most part, so would have been on wi-fi a majority of the time. The only thing I can think of is that the phone is getting bad reception and that is draining the battery? In terms of usage, Google Services is 7%, Screen is 6%, Facebook, Android and Google App - 5%.
Anybody have any ideas or any ways I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
