Unusual battery drain

Mobile data connection sucks the life out of your phone. Use WiFi instead if possible.

I also uninstalled Baconit and Evernote.

I have same problem on Lumia 920. I had to charge the phone 2 times a day with mid-to-none usage. With different stuff turned off. And also very oftenly 2-3 times a day i got ...Loading.... screen after unlocking the screen. Today I gave it to service to check if it is software or hardware.

I finally have a solution to the Yahoo Mail sync battery drain issue. It was driving me crazy for a year on my 920.

Solution: use Hotmail/Outlook.com to sync mail from Yahoo. Log into your Hotmail/Outlook.com account, go to "more mail options" and then "Your Accounts". Now Hotmail/Outlook.com will retrieve your Yahoo email and sync to your phone with your Hotmail/Outlook.com.

Remove Yahoo account from Phone. NO more battery drain.

I got the 8X for Christmas after falling in love with Windows Phone. I synced my Microsoft Account and downloaded some apps. I then proceeded to change the settings of the phone to my liking.
Two days later, i checked for updates for my phone and downloaded the most recent one. Since then, my battery seems to be draining rapidly. 8% per hour on standby and 12% per hour when i'm playing games and music. Help would be much appreciated. Cheers.
