I'm experiencing huge battery drain issues...like from 100% to dead within 5 hours of regular use. I've had the phone for a month and have the latest (insider) OS and the most recent firmware update.
I get that the answer here is probably to disable some of the background apps, but frankly that feels like a cheat. My Lumia 1520 might have had a slightly bigger battery, but it was also powering a bigger screen, had windows 10 running on it and had nearly twice as many apps running in the background and would still give me a full day without dying by lunchtime.
If this is a software issue, MS need to find a fix and push it out. If it's hardware related, they should be sticking a free spare battery in the box.
