Versa 2 battery life

[Itzerella182]

Is anyone else having their versa drain within a day?? I've had this versa for a while and before it would last at least 4 days, now its been reduced to just barely to the end of one. What can I do?? Please help.

@Itzerella182 -

One thing to try and it sometimes does help - at least according to two other board members that I recommended it to.

Sync your device.

On the device:

    Go to "Settings".

    Scroll all of the way down to "About" and tap it.

    Scroll all of the way down past "Factory Reset" and tap on "Shutdown". Shutdown leaves personal information and apps on the device.

    Answer "Yes" to "Do you want to shutdown?"

    After your device shuts down, wait a few seconds and press on the button for about 5 seconds until the logo appears.

Doing the above will clear the device memory of data no longer required by the device and its applications. One of the most wasteful uses of power by a computer's CPU (and your device IS a computer) is cleaning up memory by moving unneeded information around - this is called garbage collection. By performing a shutdown, your battery usage should improve. How often you need to do so depends on the apps you use regularly and leave data "hanging around". 

Something else to think about is has your recent battery usage issue occurred after the installation of new app(s) or the recent regular use of preinstalled apps?

And consider what I call "Charge while showering". Before I take of one piece of clothing before my pre-dinner shower, I place my Versa on its charger. After my shower and after I pour a glass of wine I take the device off of the shower. The battery level is rarely under 88 percent (never under 82 percent) and is either at 99 or 100 percent at the end of the charge. 

Good luck.
