Help Somebody Please Explain These Extremely Bizarre Battery Stats

[Tim K]

Yes. For real. As I said previously, an hour of screen time for me, at only 10% brightness, uses anywhere from 20-35% of my battery, depending on what I'm doing and what is on screen.

For example, reading a website with a dark background would use far less power than playing an animated game or watching a video.

You need a new phone as your battery problems are clearly related to your connectivity issues, both data and wifi. I don't believe a new SIM will help since you are having issues with Wifi staying connected too.

Well, luckily, it didn't happen this morning. Although, my battery was draining rather rapidly while I was using the phone. I did notice, however, that in my bedroom (in the upstairs of my home), my cell phone connection isn't all that great, but it did improve (minimally) when I left the room, but remained on the same floor.

So far, after two days with the new SIM Card, I have not experienced any ghost dialing.

My phone did however randomly turn off last night and restart (and I was not pulling down the notification bar).

Anyway, I also want to mention that my phone has also not been getting warm/hot, so that's good.

I have noticed, however, that when I wake up in the morning, my battery has drained so quickly in my home while having blue icons at the top of the phone, and this morning, with auto-brightness, I have two cell phone bars and three WiFi bars, but my battery dropped to 92% from a full charge in only about 8 minutes of surfing the web. Maybe it was even 10 minutes. And, another drop down to 82% in 30 minutes? For real?

I lost nearly one-fifth of my battery life in 30 minutes? In two and a half hours my phone would be dead?

Yesterday, I had my phone fully charged at work, at 10:00am. I used my phone a little throughout the day, more at lunch, and I was still at like 60% 7 hours later (and my cell phone connection and WiFi connection are dismal there).

Please advise...
