Flat Android Phone Battery! Why?

[piggynose]

I am baffled, i went to bed last night with my phone having 65% battery, but when i woke up this morning it was totally flat!! what could cause this?

[douglas9401]

An intermittent fault in the battery indicator? My Sony can go from 3% before switching off, to the high 40s when switched back on without charging.
Alternatively the battery's at the end of it's life and needs replaced?

Has your phone updated overnight? Lost the wifi signal and repeatedly tried to reconnect? Too many apps running in the background?

hc4361, i haven´t got internet at the moment, and rarely use the data

more info, its an orange rise 31, and is 5 months old

[piggynose]

no to the 1st 2 questions, so you are saying batteries dont last that long? will check out the screen brightness.

[piggynose]

as i said at 11.29, its 5months old, so was bought as new. will check out your batttery website, thanx

Well if it's 5 months old it's still under guarantee so don't be thinking about changing the battery, unless faulty it wouldn't need changing within a year. I don't know Android but first thing would be to check if there is anything built in to tell you what has used most battery, iPhones can tell you which app has used most battery in a 24 hour period. Next would be to close all running apps and reboot and then see if it happens again, it will almost certainly be a piece of software causing it, have you installed anything new, temporarily modified the standby time and forgotten to switch it back?

[piggynose]

modified the stand by time and forgot to switch it back? explain please. i hardly use any apps apart from whatsapp

[piggynose]

how do you reboot an app/s?

[Fitzer]

No idea on Android I'm afraid, standby time is how long the screen stays on after you've stopped using it. Going to need someone who knows Android to come along, sorry.

// i haven´t got internet at the moment, and rarely use the data//

//i hardly use any apps apart from whatsapp//

These two statements seem to be completely contradictory.

[piggynose]

fao the chair, let me explain, i tend to use the library for wifii and whatsapp, but when not connected, i switch on the data to see if i have any whatspp messages.
