Overheating and Quick Battery Drain

[John Mbasela]

I updated my Lumia 1520 to WP10 TP and since then the phone overheats and quickly runs down the battery. Anyone with a fix?

 

[sockensuppe]

Yes. Hardreset and setup as new. My 1520 runs fine with WP10

 

[John Mbasela]

Will try that.. Thanks...

Me too...I tried hard reset,but still have a lot of bug and restart.

After installing 10, hard resetting, re-flashing back to 8.1, re-installing 10 and hard resetting once again my 822 is finally useable. But I still have problems with battery life. This never was a problem on 8.1. And to make matters worse the Battery Saver app won't allow me to see any which apps may be running in the background.

I'm hoping a future build will correct this. It's not my daily driver so I can live it.

Battery Saver is useless. Checking on usage crashes the program.

My battery usage in windows 10 TP on 1520 is normal if not better. I have never hard reset my phone since I bought it in April 2014.. Are these phones different or is the upadate different? I guess you have an app that is consuming much power

That's nice to hear. Could you share a screen shot of your start screen, so that I can only use the apps on your home screen on my phone for testing purposes?

my 930 is also draining battery in a remarkable way

it cant hold the charge for 1 hour. that's after charging it on a normal cable.

the wireless charger on the other hand, isn't even providing enough power to charge, it is discharging while on the plate!

the phone tempreture is surly reaching over 50 C.

i think this is an app thing.

can people with overheating list the apps that they have installed. maybe we can find a common devil here (which i think is whatsapp)

i will edit this when i get home as for now i do not have any power source capable of turning my phone on

i must shift to nuclear lol

Not true. Because of it I was able to diagnose which app was causing my "background" battery drain, it was outlook email&calendar. After disablind it in battery saver, battery "drain" is as with 8.1 - 1.2% per hour.

Even I think it's WhatsApp or outlook mail & calendar app. I'm on windows 10 mobile preview

Is outlook mail app plus cortana, I disabled it and instantly my phone refreshed from over heating, other thing I did was dissable the gps, it runs much better now.

I've disabled location and Cortana but mail I can't disable it...... I use it every day

Just give it a try, block background process for outlook and see if it makes a difference. You will still be able to manually synch.

No difference what so ever, I unplugged the charger 1.5 hours ago, now its on 50% and I barely used it.

 

[taymur]

Any ideas?

 

[taymur]

Ok I realized something new.

If the lock screen shows the clock, the device cools down..... I think....

 

[taymur]

No. Still the same.

I thought I read somewhere that Glance was causing the problem. Turning that off is recommended - however, if you install 149 and then hard reset (which most people do to get stability), the Glance features are missing from Settings.

Looks like the only option is to roll back - turn off Glance - then upgrade.
