My battery also drain very quickly. For example in this case, see how quickly the battery percentage fell down after I had the phone in flight mode and used it a bit.
EDIT: Also I just took this screenshot to show the Wifi Indicator, but I just noticed that it’s been only 2 hours that I unplugged my phone and it already used 20% of the battery, now calculating that 6hours would be left with the current charge. 8hours? come on!
Which apps do you have? Wifi always on? GPS? Bluetooth? 2G 3G or 4G.
Did you calibrate the battery? (I did it: charging to 100% and using till the phone shuts down. Someone wrote this is bad for the battery, but in my opinion this is necessary at least once to calibrate it)
I for my part deactivated everything I dont need and also some apps which I suspect to keep the phone busy (serveral google apps) and am now testing how long the battery lasts if I dont use the smartphone (only mobile standby, i.e. its possible that i recieve calls).
Now, after alsmost two days I still have 86% battery left ( “11 days left”) and my old Nokia would be proud or jealous ^^ When using normally I (mobile data permanently on) expect 1 or 2 days.
Hi, I had the same problem. After reading this post and deinstalling firefox it seems to be solved. But I don´t like chrome… Any recommendations for other likable browsers that work on FP2? Thanks, Gerd
It’s not directly fairphone related, but from my previous android experience, uninstalling google play services and dependent google apps duplicates battery life or more. I went from 2 days up to 4-5 days of normal usage on other phones. I would guess therefore that Fairphone Open Source OS will be much more efficient in terms of battery life (I know is not an option for many users, though).
If you only need basic browsing features (no synchronization), I suggest Lightning Browser (F-Droid)(Play Store). Fast, easy (Material Design), open source (so you can be sure your data is not being stolen)
So what times are people seeing? I’m really disappointed with the battery life I’m seeing. I start the day at about 7am with a full battery (charged over night) and I’m almost out of battery by the time I get home 7-8pm. I’ve had WiFi 3.5/4G on during the day which I’d consider normal. Is this actually normal?
I’ve had occasions where I’ve completely run out of battery by 4-5pm because I’ve actually been using it…
Hi!
I recognized that if i use games ( father.io beta, traffic Raider vor into the death) beside camer my phone getting very hot and after a time the app crashing. Dont know if its the same issue??? Or it is a hardware Problem?
Looks like… but i recognized its always getting hot like i descriped also in normal use. Just browsing online or watch setting from phone after 5min its hot like hell. Normal?
My phone lasts <11 hours with normal(ish) usage. Doesn’t die on aeroplane mode or anything. Doesn’t get hot. Disabled a few misbehaving apps (Hello Yahoo Mail) but it’s getting ridiculous.
Don’t have the wifi exclamation mark. Will try the kickstart of the battery and report back.
I have the same problem as many here. Top right gets hot, battery lifetime less than a working day. took the mobile of the charger at 7 this morning and need to charge it with lunch again. It is at 59% after a bit more than 2 hours and did actually not really use it, except for wifi.
I read something about wifi explananation mark, but cannot find it back. What is the problem with that? because I do have an explanation mark the whole time
The wifi trick worked for several hours, but without using my mobile or have a wifi explanation mark, my power dropped suddenly from 40% to 8% and is hot again (in approx 1.5 hour). I did not use it at all!! Wifi was on during this time and i recieved some messages fb/whatsapp etc… What can it be???
