battery drain
New to T-Mobile this week from AT&T. Major problem with our iPhones (5S and 6+) with battery drain. We didn't see this problem with AT&T (had other problems, thus the move), but now having to...
Hola all,
I've waited a week or so before responding just to see how things play out. It seems as things have become more stable after that first few days that our battery usage has returned to levels before we switched over. Maybe some background activity due to the change over? I don't know, but it seems to have corrected itself.
Gracias.
Yikes, @stanb42! We're happy you made the switch, and want it to be entirely free of regrets. When you take a look at your Usage in Settings, does it seem higher than before, if you had checked it prior to switching? How does it look compared to the Standby time (Standby is the total time - so really it's easier to think of it as Standby = Usage + Standby)? I've read (although I've never personally had cause to test this) that the Genius Bar folks can actually plug your phone in and see exactly what's causing a battery drain - but without having that equipment at your disposal, it's a little tougher to diagnose the root cause of battery drain on an iPhone than it is with an Android device, where you can review your settings to see which apps or processes are actually consuming the most battery. Is your experience with coverage pretty true to the map?
