Battery Q - new DNA owner

[Agpe17]

I'll notice my batery will drain 1% every 2-3 minutes...is this normal? Running NOVA, brightness on 50%, no location, WiFi on.

However, once it reaches the 70's, it'll drain a lot slower!

Is this normal?

How long does a full charge last you completely? It takes a few cycles for battery useage to even out. I have had my phone for going on two months. I am a moderate to heavy user, WiFi, brightness on auto, Bluetooth, GPS and auto sync off, and most days I get 9-11 hours on one charge, with the highest being 15-22hrs. Go to settings> battery> useage. And see what your highest contenders are

I would say this is not normal. If the phone is new, give it a week or so to even out. If it doesn't, take it back.

Not normal, That is way too fast. You have something running all the time that should not be. As mentioned already, check to see whats causing the drain.

It really depends on how much you have the screen on, if you're using heavy, especially the camera and/or Web Browser, the battery will go down quicker. I've had no issues with battery life yet with my DNA, I have WiFi off when not needed, Screen about 25% (The brighter the screen, battery life will probably decrease as well), I do leave the GPS on, it really has no effect. There are days that I can get to 16-20 hours, lately, its been 40-60 hours (Yes, 40-60 hours or 2 days). I'm also not rooted as well

Forgot to mention that, depending on the singal, the more weaker it gets, it can affect the battery life as well.

That's Usual because NOVA drains battery REALLY fast but if your still worried i would recommend getting a new battery

What ??? I use Nova launcher, with moderate use I get 1 to 2 days battery life. Turn off all unneeded features, GPS auto sync, mapping and all location tracking. Added live wallpaper besides the battery is NOT replaceable

I think they're talking about N.O.V.A (the game) and not Nova Launcher.

You may want to uninstall the last few apps you loaded since the issue started. Then install a new one every 2 days or so. When you run into the battery change you'll know which app caused it.
I've found some that were maybe coded bad and kept running in background even after closing recent apps.
