About a few weeks ago my charge 5 started dying real quick, I read it was due to the GPS staying on all the time even though it was supposed to switch off. Changing my GPS option to phone seemed to fix it but now it's returned even with that setting on. Is there an update scheduled I mean it was supposedly to come as far back as March what's going on here?

'You could contact Support (link is at the bottom of the page) and ask for a Battery Test.  While it may not solve your issue right away, the diagnostic test will be able to pinpoint why there's a battery drain and what can be done about it.

Also, you might want to consider limiting the amount of notifications you receive, as those will also drain your battery.
