Battery Problem (Another Thread)

[rafuru]

Hi!

I recently bought my Lumia 720 and since a couple days I have a big problem. Something in my phone is draining the battery, 'cause I charge to 100% and after 2 hours My battery has <70%, plus I feel kinda heat on the top (where the speaker is placed).

I have made some tests uninstalling Line, Facebook, turning off the wi-fi or H+ but the problem persists. Yesterday I restore my phone from the configuration menu and the problem persists...

Can you help me? or I need to claim my guarantee ?

Just to clarify, you say you "restored" your phone. By this I assume you mean you did a full factory reset that wiped all your downloaded apps and data and then you set up your phone from scratch again. Even after doing this you are still getting excessive battery drain. Is this correct?

Yup, I just installed Facebook, Line and Twitter

I had somewhat ok performance with the 720 battery but seeing its amazing battery life reviews yesterday i factory resetted my phone. And i must say the battery life after that is amazing indeed.. Hours of calling, data with youtube streaming for a day, my battery has enough juice for one more day

I have Nokia Lumia 720 too, As i have noticed the problem as the battery wont drain much on wifi, but when I keep my data connection on for few minutes suddenly the percentage decreases by 10%.

The only issue I've had with the battery was when HERE Drive was running in the background. Check and see if it is disabled in Settings -> Applications -> Background Tasks.

I would uninstall Facebook and see if things are better. There have been reports of this app draining battery.

As the post above says, check Settings -> Applications -> Background Tasks and disable anything you don't really need.

It sounds like you may be in a poor area for 3G reception. The lower the signal strength the harder the radio needs to work to maintain a connection. If this is the case, there is really nothing you can do about it except change to a carrier that has better coverage in your area.

Having said that, 10% drop in just a few minutes is not normal, even with low signal strength. I suspect you have other things going on as well.

This is the most common cause of battery drain. In Background tasks, I recommend to disable everything.

On standby, Lumia spends just a little of battery.
