Then reflash your device! This will completely reprogram everything. And charge to 100% before flashing

That will only change something if it's a software issue & not hardware.

Op sent me a message stating they used the charger for a different phone for a few weeks. If the volts, amps, etc were different on that charger, it could've "confused" the battery.

Reflashing may eventually be the answer, but I never recommend rushing to that extreme before exhausting all other options.

Yes...possibly! But if it is a calibration issue, then relaxing and charging to 100%

I am just putting in my two cents here. He has already done a full FDR. That would be the next logical step to rule out software issues. But I am not pushing here!

Way beyond calibration unfortunately! Tried that a few times. Appreciate everyone's help with this but I still haven't figured out the fix.

I've joined the discussion here but have also had private discussion with the OP. I'll give any assistance I can that will hopefully benefit all.

Full brightness, power saving mode off. Forgot how vibrant this screen really is when not held back by battery conservation...

Same settings, but I've actually used my phone more than keeping up with occasional notifications now that I'm on lunch.

Here is mine for comparison. No power savings auto brightness

 

[KaosMaster]

These are my stats after one Hour of solid use.
The screen was on for the entire hour, was on 4G, not Wi-Fi.
Was streaming music thru 4G on Spotify, and browsing Facebook.
Power saving was OFF, Screen was on Auto Brightness.

This shows That in One Hour I used 13% of my total Battery Usage.
6% Of that was used to power the Screen.
and the meter shows that my Android System usage dropped by 1% of the Overall usage.

So, I feel like I actually used my phone less today, but I didn't make it beat as far as I did yesterday.
