I'm aware that low signal and WiFi can cause battery drain but I had a great test yesterday while in a great signal and strong WiFi zone. I lost 2% in 5 minutes.
I was just curious to know if anyone else is dealing with this too.
I've used the Compact X, XZ1 and I went back and tried again the XZ2. My favorite for sure is the XZ1 for battery life. I've been using this past week the XZ2. I felt I owed myself another shot at the XZ2 considering I bought it outright. Quite an expensive product be be sitting on my desk unused.
I barely use the XZ2 for games though I do like to surf the web on WiFi and use Twitter but I'm really not a heavy user. Yesterday I did the travel test. I spent about 4 hours in my car with no Bluetooth or wifi on. Only the regular LTE phone signal was active. Within about an hour, I went from 98% to 80% with no phone usage. The hour spent was certainly in a good LTE area and I do not use roaming. I know roughly with the XZ1 I would drop maybe 2%-5% tops. Something's definitely draining the battery a lot faster than normal. I'm starting to wonder if the radio signals messed up and or a combination of software and the radio signal. So it's currently 11:47am and at 6:30 am was 100% fully charged. It's is now at 76% with only one phone call, three text messages and this chat to you on here. Looking at the battery under advanced settings I see the phone idle % had a usage of 6% that seems high to me and the on screen time also at 5%. All others 1%.
Screen on time 1 hour 15 min. Set with adaptive on and min off set at 15 seconds. Any ideas? 😁
