Power Consumption

[NickBudro]

Since the beta release, I've noticed an increase in battery drain, and slower recharge rate. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions/tips?

Me too.

Absolutely no issues. In fact, battery life might be even better. No issues with recharge rate either. Read my comment above and see if you can trouble shoot the issue.

The only way that I know to give yourself better battery for now is to lower your screen resolution. And I'm using the batter setting that sets charging maximum to 85% that then pauses charging. Just in case it needs to be said, use also the battery saver function.

Read my comment above and see if you can trouble shoot the issue. It may be Rouge third party apps causing sync issues or background crashing due to them not being fully compatible with the beta yet.

This clears up so many issues most of the time. This is always my first suggestion.

No issues here whatsoever. Maybe even better.
Have you looked to see what apps are using the most battery. Sometimes, with beta builds, you get third party apps that aren't fully compatible with the build so they continuously cause errors or crash or try to sync. Therefore using more battery.
