Updated to GDR2 and now... battery drain problem !

[QuadraFX]

Hi,

After my phone (HTC 8S) got updated to GDR2, I feel the battery life is much worse than before.
The best case I remember, before the update was 4 days of limited usage. Now it hardly lasts for 1,5 day.

Maybe someone else noticed this, too ? Share Your experiences/impressions here, with phone model of course !

HTC 8X: Worse overall performance since GDR2, no impact on battery life.

Hope this doesn't happen with the Lumia that I have when it gets updated.

You used to get 4 days of limited usage? :shocked: My Lumia 820 can't last for the whole day. I do use it constantly with 4G enabled except when I'm home. But I'm pretty sure my battery wouldn't last a day with limited usage.

Not this again!!!!

Learn to use the phone.... FFS!!!

Any OS update and the battery needs to be recalibrated over a week or so to get it back to how it should work..... Same as when the phone was new!!!

I'm seeing a similar problem with my 8X. Since the update was applied the Phone is constantly hot and battery drains in about 3 to 4 hours. Rebooting doesn't seem to help either.

Now after using GDR2 a while, I think that my 8X gets hotter too. But this could also be due to the hot weather we are having at the moment.

The lags I have are getting very annoying. I have them mostly when Spotify is running, so it could be due to this app.
