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

When everyone was having these issues with the battery drainage on phones, I was on PC....All I can tell you is messenger (on pc) kept disconnecting. ...with the message 'reconnecting in 10/9/8 seconds etc'.

Every time I clicked on FB I kept getting that message....

Got rid as soon as they took up more space than all the other apps combined.
Plus why install two apps when you can use one browser for that, plus looking at the web? Madness!!!
