I have had my 6P for about 2 weeks. Battery life has been amazing.
Yesterday there was a system update. Something about security. I'm on 6.0.1.
The update took about 30 mins to complete. When it started my battery was well over 90%. When it was finished, it was down to 62%. I didn't think too much of it, just figured that system updates are CPU intensive plus the screen was on the entire 30 mins.
This morning I went to the gym for my typical morning workout. Phone was fully charged when I left the house. Plugged into my Android Auto car stereo (charging) on the way to the gym. So it was at 100% when I got to the gym.
Typical 45 min workout. BT heat rate monitor and BT headphones. Streaming google music. Screen off for 95% of the 45 min workout. Last week, I would expect to see the battery drop to maybe 95% with this sort of typical workout.
Today... it was down to 70% after the workout!
I plugged it in on the way home from the gym and then had it plugged in again as I went out to run some errands. By 9:45, the battery was down to 60%. I checked the battery stats and it is telling me that Facebook accounts for 14% of the battery use so far today. All other battery usage categories are below 3% except for screen and android system which are 7% and 4% respectively.
I am a pretty light user of Facebook. I will look at the feed maybe once or twice per day. Is Facebook really the culprit here or is the update more to blame? Perhaps Facebook isn't optimized for the latest update? Has anyone else noticed this?
I am considering removing the Facebook app and just using Chrome but is there a way to limit the background power/data usage of Facebook?
