The battery of my Mudita Kompakt is draning, less than 1,5 days of use in standby with very little use. Last night it went from around 70% to 29% in standby. The thing is that I havenāt sideloaded anything so that canāt be the reason why. The only thing that has changed is that Iām travelling and I have turned on the roaming switch in settings. Perhaps there is a bug in managing roaming in the OS? Or has my phone (hardware) an issue?

My Mudita was draining at a surprising rate even though I was not using it. I had used āmapsā and ācameraā - when I āforced offā the apps I had used, the battery drain decreased a lot.

Yeah that sounds about right. I think someone in another thread found that maps was using a lot of network connectivity, which is very strange. This is why I wish the MK had a proper task manager were you could easily see what apps were running and kill the ones you donāt need.

Thanks!! I left it on Offline+ for the whole night and it only went down only a 1-2%. And today I left it also in Offline+ the whole morning and it went down around a 5-7%. The problem seems to be with roaming, perhaps some process related to roaming running on the background that wasnāt on when I hadnāt turned the roaming switch on because I wasnāt travelling?

Iāve noticed that using LTE instead of Wi-Fi is killing battery the most. As Iām most of a day on Wi-Fi Iām getting 2-3 days with sideloaded Signal and few more apps. But turning the Wi-Fi off and going on LTE makes the battery last for 1 day like a ānormalā smartphone. So my advice is: use Wi-Fi as often as possible.

I have a similar observation.
I havenāt sideloaded any apps. I have turned Wi-Fi off. For an average of 2h of calls and 150 SMS usage, last week I managed to pull 6 and a half days of battery.
Charged the phone on Sunday afternoon. This week twice I had to use hotspot for around 1-2h per day and it killed my battery for less than 3 days.
I imagine if you use mobile data or hotspot all day, the battery will be gone trough the night.

Important update: Iām back home, and with the roaming switch turned off, everything seems to be back to normal; the battery lasts as usual. I consider it important because that means that, as I thought, the problem is in the software when managing roaming, perhaps thereās some process that makes the battery drain so fast. I hope this feedback is useful for the team.

Hello everyone,
Last week I got my new Mudita Kompakt and I hoped for days of battery life. Unfortunately Iām experiencing similar battery life as I did with my smartphone - 1 day. I sideloaded whatsapp and spotify, but Iām not using both apps often. I read the recommendations above and I deactivated roaming and tethering etc. Also I try to use wifi Ć”nd LTE (both of which I thought I could just use normally, but that aside) as little as possible. This doesnāt change a thing. I still get but 1 day of battery life out of my newly bought phone. Does anyone have any other recommendations?
Thanks in adance!

Hi @diovdl. Try to only use LTE for a few days (keep Wifi turned off and never turn it on) and see if that makes a difference?

Just to double check - are you killing Whatsapp and Spotify when not needing them? In Settings > Manage Apps > app > force shutdown I guess thatās how it may be called in English.

@diovdl are these the only 2 apps you sideloaded?
