All,
I had posted a thread on heating and related battery issues on my Lumia 950 XL.
http://forums.windowscentral.com/mi...-10-0-10586-218]-real-bad-battery-issues.html
I ended up going to the Microsoft store with my old Lumia 950 XL. Extremely friendly staff -- ended up exchanging my old Lumia 950 XL for a brand new Lumia 950 XL.
However, my problems continue and in no less measure. To start with -- take a look at this chart -- https://imgur.com/cakoFbu
That is the chart of my battery charge burndown! The relatively gradual drop from midnight through ~7.30AM was when I was sleeping. I am ok with this drop.
The precipice (almost vertical drop) is this morning when I was using twitter to catch up on my timeline, and whatsapp to catch up with a few friends, and a very brief bit of instagram. None of which would qualify as "heavy" usage. Most definitely not heavy enough to cause such a drastic decline.
Nevertheless, I charged it ~8:50 AM as can be seen in the chart, and the good thing about this phone, it appears that it charges pretty quick, as can be seen on the chart. Let us say ~11AM. There ends the good story. From there on, its an aggressive discharge of the battery. Culminating in an absolute drain out this evening. All this while, I would say, there was no substantive usage of the phone!
Key points
1. I can imagine the first phone being a lemon, and to think that the second phone (new) too being a lemon? I want to think the probability of that should be low.
2. This time, in addition to disabling NFC, and facial recognition, I even turned off bluetooth pairing to my MSFT Band 2.
3. I can not be moving off the retail / stable build, so, suggestions to move to .242 (or other insider previews / fast rings) might not be very helpful
Does someone have any pointers that can be of use? Other users of 950XL, please can you let me know if you are seeing similar issues?
Greatly appreciate any pointers.
