    Hey,

    I updated to .247 and hadn't noticed till a few days ago that my battery is dying fast. Is there any way to know what is causing it to drain so fast? I'm charging like 1-2 times a day

    I've pretty much tried keeping all the apps closed today... It's definately dying faster than usual.

    Have you tried a battery pull since upgrading the OS?

    I've noticed 247 is rubbish for battery life. I also find myself having to charge twice a day, and that's with medium usage

    Is the OS upgrade the only change you made before you noticed the battery drain? If so, yes, definitely go back to .237.

    Thats weird, I use my phone a lot, for example in the gym today for 1.5 hours and the battery was better off after then it was when i was running .237. I feel the battery life with this is def. better then .237. But this is only after two days, ill post back later i guess.

    I would say it is a bad battery. I speak from experience. I too did an OS upgrade and then my battery took a dump. Same thing. I would charge overnight, and then in two hours of nothing(in my holster), down to 50%. I though it was the OS(.234), so i downgraded to the official .221, and still same problem. Swapped out my battery, and it works perfect now. I attribute it to bad charging practices. I used to charge it all the time to have my bat full at all times, andi think that burned it out. Now, i wait until 30% and below. Go to the store you bought it at, and they will order you a replacement. its covered. Hope that helps.

    I agree with this post. Go back to 237 if you feel it is without a doubt leading to batt drain. Keep everyone posted.

    Idk if anyone else said this already but its a good idea to take the batteryout like once a week for like 30 seconds so all the apps reset and makesure u don't just hit end when closing apps u gotta actually go down to close on the menu


    Just repeatin wat dude at verizon told me today lol hope it helps

    For some reason, me and .247 aren't getting along. Looking forward to the next OS leak
