I tried to wake my phone last night so I could play solitaire before bed, but the battery was completely drained. I charged it to 80% earlier in the day after exercising, so I was really surprised. I plugged it in, and when it started, I loaded up the solitaire app, but then it overheated in like 2 minutes, so I put it down and went to sleep. I woke up 2 hours later, and unplugged it before going back to sleep(it was charged to about 60%). Then in the morning it was completely drained again. My question, could this be a software problem, or could my battery have somehow suddenly become unstable? It's a 6s plus that I got in October 2019.

Check battery health under battery in the settings.

I looked last night, it was the same as I remember it being the last time I looked a few months ago.

I'm doing that right now

I don't have anything to compare it to, as this is my first smartphone. I listen to the radio using the Simple Radio app for 4 to 5 hours most mornings, and there's usually between 30 and 50% charge left after(from 100%).

Not in at least a month, maybe longer.

Do you have an Apple store nearby? They can hook it up to their stuff and check it out.

You can also check to see what used all of your battery in settings. You can even narrow it down to hour increments. If it's a specific app, it should be pretty obvious.

I just checked the battery health again, it's max. capacity is 91%, and is currently supporting normal peak performance.

I live in a city, so there's gotta be one somewhere, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get out till Thursday at the earliest.

I'm charging it atm, and it's warm. I'm gonna try to open up the solitaire app, and my pacer app(it's supposed to be open at all times), to see if it overheats again.

I heard once that a phone suddenly losing battery really fast is a sign that someone hacked your phone and is spying on you

Its weird that this happened without the update. I just got update 14.6 the other day and my phone literally went to shit (I have a 7+).

It instantly stopped picking up wifi when I downloaded the new update. Battery life has already drained 22% since I woke up and I havent been watching videos or anything.

I just checked, and I am on 14.6. But I don't remember updating it recently.

It just overheated playing solitaire, and my pacemaker app open in the background. I'm going by a guide on thecellguide.com, and the next step is resetting all settings. I think I'll try that when the phone cools down. I really hope I don't have to get a new phone. I don't have a lot of money atm.

Damnit, it just overheated again while resetting all settings. I'm starting to get worried.

It might have automatically updated while you were asleep or something.

This update 14.6 seems like it was specifically designed to force people like us to buy a new phone. Ive seen Apple do this before. They destroyed my brothers phone and one of his coworkers phones at the exact same time with an update. They had to get a new phone because Apple decided that they had customers who needed to be spending more.

If I didnt hate androids, I would have already switched because of these tricks.

It must have done that, even though it's never updated before without my input, despite me having auto update on(fucking idiot I am).
