Lumia 950 battery drains rapidly

I upgraded my Lumia 920 (AT&T). It actually seems more solid than the 950, as far as the OS goes. The 950 beats it hands down on features, the 920 wins on OS compatibility and style.

That all being said, the 950 is now on build .63, and gets about 28 - 30 hours per charge. The 920 is already on build .71, and thinks it will get 48+ hours (just took it off the charger to test).

I really miss the rolled edges and the curved glass of the old Lumias, but I have to admit they can be easy to drop. The 950 is a lot easier to hold on to, as boring as the design is. A MOZO case helps, but the shape is still pretty anonymous. Hardware features, though: unbeatable.

I just "upgraded from Lumia 1520 running wp8.1. This combo was fantastic, 1520 is a great platform/ build quality, paired with wp8.1, was very robust, can count on 1 hand days i depleted the Battery. But was getting tired, so after waiting for the hyped 950 xl, only to see delay after delay, with finger pointing. I went with the 950, on next, this has been a nightmare, from the sign in to ms acct. OneDrive, glitches and lost a year of texts, with att rep, 2 master resets, ph. Bricked, 2nd ph. Same issue.

battery drains rapidly even after all the the suggested fixes, it does charge quickly, drains almost as quickly.

Add to this the , using the same settings as my 1520 , and for a year , not using 1 gb of cell data, the 950 using that each week, with little to no apps or browsing, away from Wi-fi, im dissappointed . With all the talk, i was expea better than experir, only to be reminded of

Anyone who says you need to use your phone differently than previous is ridiculous. My previous windows phone lasted 18 hours and still had 50% left

MS needs to do something now.

Dear

Some apps that are not updated or a such type of app that takes much more battery like map online or very low network coverage can drain your battery. But keep in mind your device should not  be laminated at  all or covered with case that drops the  proper ventilation to battery. I have lumia  925 as was exact issue. I followed these thing and reset the device and after resetting I  didn't activated wifi or internet mobile data in it and no other app. downloaded from the app. store. I  just checked for a day that  refreshed device has the same problem or not. But after resetting my device it is ok. So don't worry. Proceed this but take backup. Your issue will be resolved.

A couple of nights ago, something wonderful happened. I took the phone off the charger, and the battery drain issue was gone. While not in use, my 950 consumed around 2%/hour (which is fine), and 10-15% while running Edge (also fine). I had a great phone again, just like the other low-end Lumias that I have owned previously that only needed charging every other night, and this lasted for about a day. Then I was back at 5-10%/hour idle consumption and 15-20%/hour when in use. I was a wall-hugger again.

Since then, I have seen this pattern of alternating between acceptable and unacceptable numbers, without being able to pinpoint what triggers the transitions. It doesn't look like a hardware problem, but it's really difficult to tell. The only unusual thing that I did just before the phone got those fantastic power consumption numberswas to accept a Wi-Fi Sense prompt that wanted me to authorize Facebook. I hadn't seen this prompt on that phone before, and when accepting the access request, it looked to me like both the Facebook and the Settings apps crashed. It could be that something really did crash in the background too, causing a sharp drop in power consumption, or it was just a lucky coincidence, and the Win10 UX team is no longer even trying to implement transitions that don't leave you confused and scared.

Not sure if you've seen any improvements, but the latest Insider build (.63) seems to be much improved - now getting 28 hours, even with regular fiddling with Facebook and News, etc.. After the update I did have some issues with the radios - wifi was not getting a valid IP, but instead was using the fall-back private IP. Had to jump through some hoops, but after that (logged on to my guest wireless, then back to the regular wireless, also did some turning on and off of the cellular and wifi radios) everything settled down. Seems like they're getting there, bit by bit.
