tinapiggy - Having a charged device is a daily necessity. Let's work together and get this issue fixed. You deserve an issue free device. What make/model device do you have? Is your Wi-Fi setting on when you are not connected to Wi-Fi?

Are all of your apps up to date?

Do you have any anti-virus, phone cleaner, or Task Killer apps installed? These types of apps should be uninstalled. Only install them on the rare occasion they are actually needed. Don't use Task Killers Smiley Happy

Hello,

I have a Samsung S6, not the edge. Yes my WiFi is on. I left my fully

charged phone at home the other day and after 8 hours returned to 65% power

and only 9 text messages and no phone calls. Before Marshmallow, I would

come home to at least an 85% battery (and sometimes 50+ text messages). My

phone use habits haven't changed since Marshmallow. Also I seemed to have

hit 50% of my data a few days sooner then I normally do. That is not ok!
