Re: New KitKat battery issues

I was really bad about my kit kat update this weekend.  I unplugged my Razr M at 6:00 AM on Saturday.  Only used the phone for 10 minutes and yet the battery was drained by noon.  Same thing happened on Sunday.

After lots of searching I found one posting that solved my problems.  No idea if this is the problem for other people.


Go into wifi-settings.  Then go through the list of networks that your phone has stored up and click on each one.  When the details screen pops up, click the "forget" button.  I deleted 20+ wifi profiles leaving only my home wifi and my work wifi in the list.

I also then went into the wi-fi advanced settings and checked on the box labeled "Avoid Poor Connections".   I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not.

The day after making these changes, I unplugged my phone at 5:30 AM and at 8:00 PM it still had battery power.  Today I unplugged it at 6:00 AM and haven't used it yet.  It is now nearly 2:00 PM and my battery is at 68%.
