Last update sucks battery life

New update a few days ago.  My battery practically drains before my eyes now.  Prior to the update, it was fine. Please tell me how to fix it and why this is an "improvement"?

What device are you using?

You may want to research some of the battery complaints and the hundreds of posts on the Lollipop side. I believe Snn5 has posted many times regarding not updating over the current configuration and factory resting the device before and after applying the update.

Thanks for the mention sprmankalel

Factory Reset

The following process has helped many, maybe you can benefit from this as well. I know you don't WANT to FDR, but if you haven't already, this might be a NEED to operation. Back up any photos documents or videos and other media to a PC or cloud service. Google Accounts will keep your contacts in Gmail and you can use Google Drive to back up everything instead of a PC and the Play Store will remember the apps you have downloaded before.

Plug into charger for the entire process (DISABLE google backup and restore of apps and app data)

Charge to 100% and back up and factory reset the phone Factory reset one more time

Unplug from charger

Set up your phone

Leave phone on until it dies and turns off 1 time Leave off and recharge to 100%

This is my usual process and I have had no issues.

Bird3300,

Updates should enhance your phone not damage it. Let's look into this more. What kind of phone do you use? What applications do you normally use? Are all of your applications up to date?
