    I've had a q5 for less than a year. This week the battery started draining at a ridiculous pace. I've restarted it and taken out the sim card to no avail. According to the device monitor, my display and system are eating up all the battery, but I have no apps running and the brightness turned all the way down, does anyone have a solution?

    Start by removing the last app you added. To me it always point to an app that keeps doing stuff in the back

    Hey I think you pmed me but I didn't get to reply yet. I would recommend a factory reset with link or a security wipe. Make sure to backup all your data. This is very unusual and it's going to take a memory wipe of some kind to fix.

    It might help. But it could also remain with you. If you update and it's still there then you can do a security wipe.

    Another option is a full reset by holding volume buttons for 10 seconds. This is like a restart.. but clears more ram if I understand it correctly.

    Something is up with the browser, you cant have more browser than screen, unless some multimedia event s playing in the background when you minimize the browser. Also try to post a pic of since last charge, not 48hrs with how much battery is remaining.

    If you put all docs and pics to SD card you should be ok. Contact I usually sync it with one of my emails.
