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.
I recently switched my iPhone 6 from Time-Warner to T-Mobile, and started having problems with my battery, which seem to have escalated very quickly over the past week or so. Someone mentioned that, oftentimes, a software glitch may the source of unusual drainage, so I JUST updated to 12.1 and updated all my apps, deleting unused apps and tweaking my preferences to maximize battery life.
My phone was fully charged just now, so I unplugged it and am keeping it on next to me and literally seeing the percentage go down. The rate is about 2%/minute with the screen on but doing engaging with any apps. According to my Battery setting, it's performing at 91% of its original capacity, which is considered Peak Performance Capability. For the record, my biggest drains today were Recently Deleted Apps at 41% and Instagram at 27%.
The other issue I have is my battery draining pretty much instantly when it's cold out. This morning, my 100% charged phone died while I was out on a walk, not using it at all, and it was in my purse. It drains more slowly if I keep it in my pocket with my hand on it.
Obviously, my phone is pretty impractical at this point. I have to bring a charger everywhere I go and keep an eye out for outlets. What could be the source of this, and how can I fix it? ¡Gracias de antemano!
