What I like to do after a major update or yearly ( which ever comes first )
I get all of that. And I'm very cautious of how I use backup/wipe partition. But I'm not an "app whore". That is, I'm not constantly downloading/uninstalling apps left and right just to see what they're like. The apps I have installed are apps that I've always had installed when my battery was working properly. And I also understand that apps gets updated and don't always play nice but it's been a month ... if this were an issue with a particular app, wouldn't it have been corrected and updated by now? Compared to a lot of people in these forums, I'm a very, VERY vanilla user of my phone. I have a few apps that I've always used and have always had on my phone(s). This battery issue is something that has just bubbled up within the last month, and to be honest, I really feel like it has to do with the recent system update. If this happened every charge, then it wouldn't be that big of a deal and I'd chalk it up to a misfiring app or age ( even though it's only been 18 months ... ). But it happens intermittently without any rhyme or reason.
I just now had an issue where the battery was empty, I put it back on with the turbo charger for about an hour and a half - which I think everyone would agree is a sufficient amount of time to charge the battery a good amount, if not full, especially with the way this particular phone "turbo charges". It stated 100% full. It lasted maybe 20 minutes while playing a game and shut off in the middle of it - without any type of 'low battery' warning that I usually get when the battery gets below 15% - which, to me, signifies that the phone thought it had more of a charge than it actually did(??). It seems that there's a disconnect between what the actual battery charge is and what the phone is telling me it is - that's my whole thing.
I had problems with the first Turbo 2 that I got when they first dropped ( got it within the first week ). I ended up swapping that one out for my current one, which has worked pretty well for the first year and a half or so right up until the last month. I used Samsung phones before that but switched to Motorola when the Moto X came out to see if their radios were any better - and they were - which is why I followed that up with the Turbo 2. But I'm ready to head back to Samsung after all of this bs.
I understand that it might mean taking some time to uninstall/reinstall apps just to figure this out ... but why should it come to me spending the better part of my night, ANY night, making the phone work properly. It either should or shouldn't work, especially since it's not rooted and all of the apps that on it are available publicly. To say that it's frustrating is an understatement.
