Lumia 950 battery drains rapidly

Here we are, and another month has passed without noticeable improvements to what I strongly believe is a software problem. Typically, my 950 Dual SIM draws 7%/hour when in standby, which is waaaay too much. Sometimes, closing all apps will pull the power drain down to 1-2%/hour, which is what you should expect from a new-ish phone. But I shouldn't have to close apps to save my battery! We stopped doing that years ago, and power management was never an issue on WP7-8. What has happened to quality control back at Redmond lately?

I shouldn't have to do this, but I have enabled developer mode on my phone to get the web based "task manager", in hopes that it would pinpoint what causes all the power drain. Edge is still a likely culprit, but also some anonymous svchost process that does dog knows what. There is clearly something wrong with Edge, that typically pegs the CPU on any non-trivial web page it renders, even if the display is completely static, but then we're talking 20-30%/hour and the phone getting almost too hot to touch.

So, is anybody at Microsoft interested in taking time off their iPhone/Android development to have a look at what keeps draining the battery when the phone is in standby? I hear there are heaps of telemetry in Windows 10, so the answer is probably there in all the data that you've collected from (slightly deranged) people like me actually trying to use Windows phones daily.

Very good one, LOL, "W10 work-in-progress..."

MS should use it as a logo.

The post is still valid even today as of 10th of February

I disagree that nothing has been fixed. There have been four updates since release (if you are on the Insider program) and quite a bit has improved. Battery life, in particular, but also broken live tiles. Sure, there are still some issues (multiple live tiles for Outlook if you have more than one account seems to only update alerts for one live tile, for example), but there is a good Feedback app and things are getting fixed, albeit slowly.

What is Wi-Fi 5g?

I haven't done a lot with text to speech other than Cortana stuff, but it seems remarkably good.

Collapsing all the HERE/Nokia mapping apps into one app has definitely been a loss. A big loss.

There seems to be some hurdle with dual-SIM phones and Visual Voice Mail. Maybe something to do with the way VVM notifications are pushed to the phone, and not being able to tell which SIM the notification is for? I don't know. Seems like it could be easily solved, but probably it is hard-baked into AT&T's infrastructure or something. Anyone know if it works on dual-SIM Android phones?

I feel your pain. Nothing has been fixed in 2 months of being released, typical for both 950 devices:

-restarts

-poor battery life

-Wi-Fi 5g doesn't work

-text to speech inconsistently works

-live tiles don't update for read text or emails.

-impossible to type responses on this website

-time to leave for work

-visual voicemail

what bothers me the most is they broke things that worked perfectly in 8.1
