Something’s Not Quite Right

Battery Suck – But Why…?

I couldn’t work out what was draining the battery on my phone. I determined it had to be something to do with location – what else would suck it that much…?

But I really had no idea what.

Until >7 hours later when I realised that somehow (?) I hadn’t turned off my Sports Tracker App when I got home from a lunchtime walk. Dugh!

It appears that afternoon, I moved a mere 327m around the house … whilst working from and at home.

I have wondered… idly… just what all the up and down stairs and incidental movement clocks up at. And now I know. Kind of!

I guess this “pocket bump” could’ve been worse – I could’ve pocket called someone and not realised it – eeeek! At least it was “only” an App!

By the time I went to bed the battery was hanging in there at about 13%.
