The way Android handles multi-tasking is a battery nightmare. I get random battery drain problems constantly and have had the same issue on all 4 of the Android phones I've owned so far. I don't care about 'real multitasking' so I wish Google would at least offer an option similar to Windows Phone where you can choose to maximize battery life at the expense of background services/apps. I can deal with consistently poor battery life but these random battery drains are not something I can plan ahead for. I can leave the house with 100% and 2 hours later have a dead battery or other days have no problems at all. It's infuriating how random it is.

- SEMW 13y agoFor what it's worth, all android battery drain problems I've had have been solved by keeping wifi / mobile data off unless I'm actually using the internet. It's just easier (albeit possibly less satisfying) than identifying & fixing the dozen apps that are each waking the phone every few minutes to check something individually. (Additional benefit: I don't get distracted from work by email/im/facebook notifications).
