iPhone XS Max IPhone XS Max Battery Drain

[Lakercj24]

Hi,

So I picked up my new phone on Sunday and so far have been happy with it, yesterday I had 6 hours of screen time and it lasted all day,

However today my battery has been free falling! It was down to 39% by 12pm with only about an hours use. On top of this it's been quite noticeably hot as well as if it is doing something, but according to the battery settings pane nothing is using it?

Could this be some sort of indexing?

Thanks,

Chris

A simple reboot is in order.

Thanks but I’ve already tried that, I do wish there was a true activity monitor iOS so I could see what is causing this

There is a monitor. Go to settings and then battery.

Sounds like you have an app that is pounding your CPU which would account for the heat.

Oooops missed that. Pardon me.

Plug it in and do a hard reset.

No this is inline with the report that the Xs and XsMAX have poor LTE reception. It takes a week or so for the algorithms which regulate Cell tower reception + your useage + where you live.
So it varies. When you see your battery draining and nothing using it. That’s the CellPhone and Tower looking for reception and trying to adjust for optimal performance.

I do think we will get a Firmware Update in about 30 days.
Which needs to adjust LTE/ WiFi performance and Battery Life.

Is location off?

It seems to have sorted itself out- I can’t help thinking it was indexing... I’m in the UK and haven’t had any network issues at all but who knows maybe it was that?!
