Battery Drain

[Guest ufizo]

Hello everyone!

Ive been using blade for about a year now, but was very disturbed with the battery performance over past 4-5 months or so. On extremely low usage it used to touch 24hour mark, that too rarely. Normally with lightusage it was giving me about 18 hours, which was still usable as I could charge it everynight. :huh:

To investigate the problem, I tried everything: Apps keep the phone awake? Installed no apps; no gapps. :unsure:

Sync off, data off, lowest brightness.

I made sure that the phone sleeps when the display is off, but still I lost about 20% battery overnight. :angry:

Tried every ROM out there: CM, GSF, MMHMP, F&C etc.. same story everytime, with the majority battery usage was shown by OS. :huh:

Was begenning to think that my battery is faulty.

But last week I switched my network provider (from DOCOMO to AIRTEL, IN) and my battery is fantastic again! Like it should be. Giving me 30-36 hours with data and sync on with normal usage. :)

Who could have thought that this could also be one of the battery drain cause! Funny thing is that in my region DOCOMO has much stronger signals than AIRTEL.

Im a happy blade user once again! :D

That is good man! But who could know that changing the network provider makes such a huge difference!

My battery also drains a lot! I might try buying a new battery and trying it on now!
