OMG this phone is sending me around the bend๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ
I charged my phone (Nokia 3) this morning as I was going out (if there is less than 70% charge then my phone may cut out if I use it and YES I had a new battery fitted in Dec last year๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ค and it STILL has problems.... Me too phone, me too!) but looking at the 'lock' screen tonight it made me giggle๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
This is what I saw...

I haven't had it plugged into charge since this morning๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
I thought I had problems but this phone is beating me at the 'WTH' game๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

@Decembersangel, the screenshot isn't something I've seen before either.

With battery usage, you've probably looked at what apps (etc) may be running in the background, and reduced them as much as possible.  I also try and reduce screen brightness, so it's still readable, but not too bright.

Hi @Strandloper ๐Ÿ‘‹
I know right๐Ÿ˜‚  my mobile has a mind of its own and (just like me๐Ÿค”) doesn't conform to the 'norm'๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ

I only have 3 apps downloaded as I just use it mainly for calls and texts so background usage is minimal.

After charging it yesterday morning it went from 100% charge to 0% in less than 24hrs so I'm kind of at a loss as to why it dies so quickly (the display said it was at ~57% charge then 5mins later it died and when plugged in said it was at 0%๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค)

Got to love technology๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

@Decembersangel,

Just thought about your first post.  You mention replacing your battery.

How old is the phone?

Was the battery replaced properly?

Have there been any phone software updates that happened before your charging issues started?

These may help answer the battery, but may add confusion if no answer is found

@Decembersangel  May I throw a virtual spanner in the works? Is your wallpaper by any chance a moving scenario e.g. a shark may suddenly swim across the screen? If so, wouldn't that use a lot of juice from your potentially sickly battery?

You obviously have great patience putting up with this situation - I would have consigned the phone to the great mobile phone graveyard some while ago !!๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Thanks all๐Ÿ‘

@Strandloper The phone is ~6yrs old (2017) and I took it to a reputable phone repair shop to get the battery replaced so I'm assuming it was done correctly ๐Ÿค” and it has always been this way since I purchased it a few years ago (2nd hand) but thought it was an old/duff battery so got it replaced ๐Ÿ™„ and that worked out well! ๐Ÿ˜ถ ๐Ÿคฃ

@MSF No, the wallpaper is fixed (you can get a moving wallpaper?? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ) This phone would've been 'recycled' if I had the funds to get another one..... but until I do I have to put up with this one ๐Ÿ˜ค Oh joy!!๐Ÿคฃ

@Decembersangel  Yep! iPhones do have some moving wallpapers!...Yep! They seem to use a lot of juice!
