Lumia 650 battery poor.

[Dedpewl]

My lumia 650 doesn't last more than 4 hours on a full charge. Thoughts?

Have you tried hard reset?

 

[Dedpewl]

I'd like to skip that option if possible.

If you not tell us exactly the use of your phone (apps, accounts etc), hard reset is the only test.

PS: Try an app "Save Battery" and see the mWh

I usually find that a few soft resets, over a day or two, resolves this.

A few ideas

• In settings > system > battery: can you check which apps or services use the most battery?
• In settings > privacy > background apps: check which apps can run in the background and disable those you don't need. Leave messaging on as that is needed for sms notifications
• In camera roll, disable auto upload of videos and if you want auto upload of photos to onedrive
• In messaging, unlink skype so that usage is less
• In mail, try a longer period for checking emails, not every 5 minutes but maybe 30 minutes.
• Use wifi/cellular when you need to and not always on
• In store, you can disable auto update of apps so that you only update when you want to and where you can monitor usage

Try these for now and then observe for a couple of days

Just give it some time, it will get better after a few days.

For me, the battery lasts for around 20 hrs... And around 6-7 hrs of heavy usage...
I always keep the sim network to 2G or 3G... 4G drains the battery of my L650 like hell...
Again, check the background apps and uploading of the photos to Onedrive... Check if turning off glance helps. I won't recommend turning it off because it is one of the cool features of Lumia one would be missing...
Also I have noticed that the battery life has reduced since I have installed the Redstone insider build... If your phone has insider build then try reverting back.

What build of OS is it, did u update your 650 yet ?, our of box the 650 come with a pretty poor build, update it immediately to build 10586.218

My phone last 7h of continuous usage, or 20h for normal use

I am, admittedly, a light user but my 650 has been unplugged for 24 hours and has 65% left.
