Re: W10M Insider Preview 14388/390/393 Discussion (Redstone Branch, Fast Ring)
Recharged the phone mid-day. Before using did a soft reset, as I never did one since the update was installed. Now the battery drains at about 3% per hour with normal usage. Some hotspot usage, some phone calls, texts, and a game. After 4 hours I was only down 12% this time.
I am VERY happy with the battery life on 14393 on my Lumia 640 LTE.
Your Excellency the Retired Senior Ambassador, RHAPDOG,
Allow me to thank you. One of the fixes provided by 393 for my ICON 929, as listed by His Highest Excellency the Ambassador Team Leader, RumoredNow, was supposed to be a fix for excess battery consumption on ICONs. Upon updating to 393 I hadn't noticed it.
Your Excellency mentioned doing a Soft Reset and noticing a great improvement. As fate would have it I haven't had to do a Soft Reset for a long time and didn't consider it.
After reading Your Excellency's post I tried the Soft Reset and can see a very good improvement in my battery life. It will take me a further few days to accurately assess how much improvement
I just wanted to thank you, Your Excellency.
<edit> UPDATE = REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT!
Peace. Alan :winktongue:
