Heat is the likely reason your battery drains

A warm phone while idle means something is working hard, and heat itself uses up and ages the battery.

Common causes are an app stuck in the background, a weak signal, charging under a pillow, or sitting in the sun.

Try this now

1. Take the phone out of its case and move it somewhere cool.
2. Open Battery usage and check for an app near the top you did not use.
3. Restart the phone to stop anything stuck in the background.
