Phone Battery Use Conundrum
6 Answers
I have a problem that no-one so far has been able to explain so thought I'd give it a go on here...my phone has irritated me for a while as when I'm home and it's connected to home WiFi the battery used will drop from 100% when unplugged say at bedtime to about 18% overnight. If I forget to close some tabs eg WhatsApp it will go flat overnight.
When I take it out of the house say to work the battery reduction is minimal. I never use roaming /mobile data and have turned Bluetooth off. Something wrong with phone you may say BUT I have come away (abroad) and am staying in a house with WiFi that my phone is connected to and the charge is lasting for up to 2 days, No major drainage at all. What can cause this discrepancy in battery use when the settings on the phone have not been changed in the 2 locations????

2. As an experiment, put it in airplane mode & then only turn the wifi back on - if it still goes flat overnight then that excludes any possible mobile data or bluetooth drainage.
