Why is my battery draining so fast?

[AC Question]

why is my battery draining so fast?

my phone charges and says 100%, but within a couple of hours it almost dead. plus it keeps telling me to install the Samsung gear vr and I don't have one. it also tells me my phone is connected to a charger when its in my back pocket!

What do your battery usage stats indicate after such a discharge?

On my phone the screen brightness makes a huge difference in how long the battery lasts. When I come in the house or any darker area, I turn the brightness way down.

Try doing a hard reset using the buttons and see how it goes from there!
