Battery Draining In Alcatel Idol 4S

I am having the exact same issue and suspect that a recent update is the culprit.

I am having the exact same issue and suspect that a recent update is the culprit.

Have you been able to do anything about the short battery use? If I put a new battery in would it do anything to extend battery time or is it just a problem with this phone?

My other problem is the receiver on the phone. I have to use the speaker phone. The reception on normal use is all choppy But perfect on speaker.

If you have any advice I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply @GingX.  I haven't found anything to back up my claim that the battery drain is related to an OS update but that's when I noticed it. I also noticed that the time it takes to recharge also decreased.  I wonder if maybe there could be a glitch in the battery monitoring feature.

If anyone else has any info that will help determine if it is related to an update, I hope you will also respond.  The more info we can find, the more likely we will be able to get @Microsoft to address the issue, if that's what is causing it.

@Carlbiz I haven't looked into the battery replacement yet but plan to if it isn't an OS issue.  

I luv this phone and Win10 but I need more than 30 minutes better time!  I'm not a fan of Android or Apple so I was hoping this thing would last awhile...  Oh well, maybe?

Seeing as we seem to be having very similar issues that started around the same time, I am sure it has something to do with software. Last night, I just kept using my phone well after I got the critical low battery alert. It stayed at 6% the rest of the night without dying. Obviously, it is not reading the correct battery level. Hopefully, someone at Microsoft is checking these threads and does something about it.
