Same, .36 and new firmware, and battery seems the same.

I read somewhere that the Edge browser should not be allowed to run in the background because it loves the battery more than it should. I'll see if I can't find the link.

in my case, edge doesn't use much battery in background. it uses terribly large amount of battery in FOREGROUND instead. I have done an experience. I left the phone idle for 24 hours and checked the battery usage. all apps consumed battery in background in this case. the winner was messaging+skype. it used most battery.

I found Skype is the biggest issue for me here. Once i logged out of Skype, the message+skype drain dropped a lot even with me texting.

same here. I haven't had a single reboot since I did that either (5 days now) where before it was rebooting about once a day under heavy use (lots of messaging, calls, bluetooth stuff, etc).

I did uninstall the "Skype" app and just left the "Skype video" app. Not sure if that makes a difference.
