Help Severe battery drain post Lollipop update

[Crosley123]

Need some wisdom...Verizon Note 3. Updated to Lollipop without incident. Phone works well. But...

Since then, two things have happened. My battery which used to last all day EASY now is down to 10% by the time I get home. Also, the phone signal strength seems much lower.

Nothing else has changed. No new apps, no new locations, same Wifi (and I control it).

So...sure seems Lollipop is the culprit. Really don't want to factory restore. Any other options?

No. Buy a new battery. You will find your battery needs changing.

I sugest buying a new battery. I had to and battery lasts longer. I carry extra battey with me also. Your battery seems to be losing cycle.

Rooted? It seems like factory reset would be the best option...

It might come down to having to reset your phone. Then it will work better.
And like i said in last post buy a new battery and seems your lossing cycle. That happened to me on kk. New battery solved problem.
