Official verizon windows 10 on 735. Huge battery drain.

[Eustis99]

I have the official windows 10 release from verizon running on my 735 and like it so far but with a couple of gripes. I noticed some performance stutters and especially on certain apps such as facebook. My biggest gripe is the battery drains like a fat kid eats cake. I can have my phone at 100% and it will be at 80% in a matter of an hour even if not being used. After the update completed I did a hard reset and started off fresh so I have no idea what else to do. Anybody else have this issue? suggestions?

1. Make absolutely SURE you have the Skype Video Messaging disconnected from calling, AND signed-out. This is probably the biggest drain that I've seen, for built-in stuff.
2. Go to .456, the latest (stable, tons of fixes and battery improvements) Insider, Release Preview build. I've easily gotten 50%+, on my battery life, since the 300 builds. My guess is that your Verizon build is .107, which wasn't so great, in battery, amongst others.
3. Go into "Settings->Background Apps" and disable everything you really don't need running when you're not using the phone.

This combo works well for me, I easily get 1-2 days from my phone now.
Keep an eye out for the Video Messaging, mine re-enables itself, if you get an incoming call, kindof a bummer but at least now you know (*not tested in .456, could be fixed, but was present in .420)

Thank you for the reply. I looked in settings and see Edge was using a whopping 28%! Messaging and skype was using 2%. Also I looked and I'm actually running the .420 build
