Appreciate the response guys. For additional information, the phone is not her primary phone. It's used principally to receive Line messages from her staff at her tour counter business confirming each sale and sale details. Seldom used for voice calling and cetainly never used for such battery intensive actions such as streaming videos etc. That's why it's so annoying that the battery runs down so quickly. After setting "Background usage limits" at "Put to sleep" the battery is depleting at 7% per hour, as verified by the the battery staus saying "A full charge will last about 14h 11m" My own secondary phone, the same model, says "A full charge will last about 4d 4h". That massive disparity suggests to me that something is running in the backgroung seriously depleting the battery. Having accessed "Developer mode" and being able to see all apps and services running, I don't know how to identify which app/s are doing the serious depleting.

Yes. Trouble is they only total around 18% of usage. I've just toggled on "Background usage limits" and set "Put to sleep" which, I think, puts rarely used apps which still run in the background into sleep mode. Now leave the phone unused for a couple of hours and see how much the batery depletes.

Afternoon all Her indoors' battery is running down far too quickly and has been doing for some time/. She had a new battery installed by Samsung some three months ago so I assume it's to do with Apps running in the background. I've opened "Develper options" in settings and can see App memory usage. How do I diagnose which apps are draining the battery the most please?

Is it possible to somehow retrieve contacts and chats via WhatsApp when using my old sim and number on a new phone which does not have those contacts stored?

Yes, that would stop the behaviour but I want the taskbar hidden.

Just as the title states, my task bar is hiding and unhiding slowly and juddering as it does. Anyone have any experience of this and a resolution please?

Whilst it's nice to hear your thoughts on the phone I wasn't asking for any such information.

Er...ok.

@vinny41 Appreciate the response.👍

@jaideedave I feel your pain An absolute f'ing nightmare.

Ok, so bought a used, fully functioning unit off ebay ariving in a couple of days, the screen of which I'll swap out with my unit, job done.

Just try reading my initial post

Investigated that but it's a very old unit. Found some cheap second hand units on ebay so might buy and swap out. In the interim I could do with accessing WhatsApp web..

As I can't see the buttons to press to unlock the, apparently, still functioning device does anyone know of any way I can easily access the stored information? Is there a way of accessing WhatsApp web, usually accessed by using the linked devices procedure so that I a can access my contacts? I've ordered a new phone but delivery isn't until Monday.
