Why is my battery so shit? It says that health is 80% and i would expect something more than one day of use or something?
Is it whatsup v0.2.4 or something?
Duplicate of something for sure.

The battery drain strongly depends on the apps you use and whether you use LTE and/or WLAN + Bluetooth.
Furthermore it is dependent on the degradation based on temperature and charge/recharge cycles. LiPoly battery suffer badly from temperatures above 30°C, which is easily exceeded by carrying the phone in one's pocket or running apps with heavy CPU load resulting in heat dissipation.
SFOS 2.0 alone is even more energy efficient than the previous version. I only use a small selection of the stock apps, and use my phone only on 3G with moderate usage over the day. This way, my battery lasts for 5-6 days, it's about 1.5 years old now.
Anyways, these are el-cheapo commercial batteries made in China, some quality variance between them is rather likely. It's really a pity Jolla never managed to stock some replacement units in their shop.
Used to have problems with battery drain, but those days are long gone now since the operator improved the 4g network. My Jolla is also ~1,5 years, in daily use at the office and I charge it roughly once a week.

Having IMAP IDLE on for 2 accounts and wlan always on! What kills it is apps keeping it alive in the background, not going to sleep. If whatsapp is holding the soundchip active for example that is like listening to music all day long. This might be a bug or even just bad negotiation by the app itself.

my battery is shit too but i don't use whatsup. Its either starting to show its age or it is related to SFOS 2.0 because thats pretty much the time when mine started to show some major drain

ApB ( 2015-12-09 23:25:38 +0200 )editI don't use the phone all the time, don't use Whatsit and don't have Android support installed and yet I have to charge my battery daily. In all fairness it does not discharge completely, only to about 30-40%. Enough to not last for two full days.
pichlo ( 2015-12-09 23:44:46 +0200 )edit@pichlo That's not uncommon. It also heavily depends on signal quality. In bad reception areas, battery drains much faster. In a building which glass as outer wall, even if I had actual line of sight to the cell tower, the reception was poor due to the glass. Walk out the door, signal quality dramatically improved.
I had to charge every day. Now that I work in a different office, a charge lasts two.
