So today for no reason (no app updates or anything recently) I noticed that my battery was dying quicker than normal when on 4G but doesn't die as quick on wifi. When I wasn't using the phone the battery life was as expected so wasn't a wakelock. It was only when using the phone and using data that the battery % went down a lot quicker than normal. A thought came to me that maybe the mast is having issues and draining more battery? Anyway I asked a friend where I work also on o2 and he noticed more battery drain today than usual. Interestingly there was also work on the mast where we both work yesterday. So is it possible that the mast is faulty or having issues, and draining the battery more than normal? Signal is fine and doesn't drop

Its certainly an odd one. People on here and Giffgaff reporting battery life issues, and all seem to be from different areas.

@MI5 and @viridis do you know anyone else in the same building on o2 and if they had the same issue?

Most others on EE in my building too as we have a cell repeater in the building so get a banging EE signal.
O2 is always poor but battery never as bad as today.

Exactly, my signal looks crap but never been an issue and normally always get the full day with 4-5hr screen on. And that's with streaming and browsing.
Today I didn't stream anything.
