Battery consumption suddenly higher

[gtg947h]

Over the last 2-3 days my Versa has suddenly started really draining the battery. I used to use about 25% in a day ever since I got it last May; now I'm using about 50% per day.

I have not changed any settings.

All-day sync is off (I had to block the Fitbit app from using mobile data because it was using way too much).

I have not updated the Firmware in a couple of months.

I've added no new apps.

My clock face has not updated.

I just charged it before bed as I always do, and then about Wednesday of last week I noticed it was using a lot more battery than usual.  I hope it's not a sign of battery degredation...

Hi @gtg947h.

Have you tried restarting your Versa? Instructions on how to do that can be found here. Do the procedure a few times and see if your battery life improves.

We also have the option of a factory reset, but I would use that only as a last resort once all other options are exhausted.

Yes, I've tried that.  Every morning. It seems to help some, but a daily restart shouldn't have to be necessary.

I agree. 

The only other thing I can really suggest would be the full factory reset. Some users have reported doing this has sorted their battery issues. I know it's not ideal but I can't think of anything else you haven't already covered. If you do attempt the reset I would suggest removing the device from your account and unpairing from your phones Bluetooth beforehand.
