My ZTE zmax pro's battery is discharging faster than it has in the first few weeks that I have had it...and I have only had it for 44 days!
At first(like up to the first three weeks) the battery life on this phone was the best thing about it. I would charge it to 100%, then if I didn't use it like all day (24 hours), when I checked the phone the next day, it had only went down 2%!
On September 10th, I charged my phone to 100% in the morning, went for the whole day, used the phone throughout the day to make calls and texts, browsed the web a little bit, and by the time I got home, the battery had only dropped down to 87%.
Now, that was with my screen brightness in 45%-47%.
Also, I only had 3 apps that I had downloaded...4 now. None of those apps use up much battery power. Plus, I keep 2 of the apps notifications off ,the other two(games) rarely send notifications, and they(the games) don't run in the background. So, those are the only apps I have downloaded, all the rest came with the phone and they still don't use up much battery life.
Most of them I haven't even ran since I got the phone.
This is why it is so confusing to me how all of a sudden my battery life is draining faster now than it did in the first 3 weeks of me having it.
Can someone help me out here?
I already utilize most...if not all of the battery saving tips. I now keep my brightness down to 35-40%, I have wifi off, gps is off, and I don't really use apps.
I use YouTube, gmail(every once in a while), the two game apps, the music player, the video player (twice). I mainly use my browser and go online, but I don't stay online long. I also mainly talk on the phone and send text messages.
Here is another thing that gets me, in the first few weeks, I was able to talk on the phone for more than 2 hours without my phone dropping more than 5%, I could talk and text and briefly surf the web, and it wouldn't drop too much. I could watch a video without it dropping too much.
I timed it. Watching videos on YouTube in the browser or in the app makes the phone lose 1% battery life every 3 minutes. Watching videos on the video player app causes the phone to lose 1% battery life every 4minutes..that is reasonable.
Surfing the web causes a loss of 1% battery life every 3-4 minutes. Checking Gmail causes a loss of 1% battery life every 3 minutes. Checking and sending texts causes loss of 1% battery life every 3-4 minutes. That's fine. I didn't really mind that, since that has been happening from day one, and since I am actively doing something. When the phone wasn't active, and it was in sleep mode, the phone didn't discharge...not really.
Now, no matter what the phone is doing, it's discharging!
It discharges more now while it's sleeping than it did just three weeks ago.
What is wrong with my phone????
BTW, Up untill September 17th, it was discharging as normal. After that, the battery life wasn't the same.
P.S. I am uploading screenshots that show what I am taking about. They will go in order from October 1st-8th.
