    Hi everyone
    I'm just wondering if anyone else is having abnormal battery usage since side loading apps with the new method? I am now on my third charge (battery swap) for the day and it's about 30% left now. I have loaded Netflix, instagram, snap chat, candy crush, Zello, panorama hd, galaga, and pinterest. Now I know my new addiction to candy crush is helping drain my battery but come on 3 batteries and be ready for a overnight charge. Wow that will be 4 charges for a 16 hour day.
    So again anyone else?
    Thx Keith

    Nothing special here. Android apps seem to drain faster, no surprise, but overall same battery performance.

    I'm having the same trouble. I did a security wipe on my phone after noticing this massive battery drain but still no luck. The battery drains 10 % in about 5 minutes!

    Android apps have the ability to run in the background even after being closed, if you don't long hold the ex to force close the android app/runtime some will continue to update/process in the Background draining the battery. I now only my keep Instagram side loaded and force close it after using it. Haven't had any problems since.
