Recently, my Nokia Lumia 920 started occasionally getting really hot at the top (even if left alone) and munching through its battery, sometimes going from 100% at 6am to 20% mid afternoon, and needing a charge to get through the day.
I tried turning off background processing for most apps, and closing apps when i finished with them, but that didn't seem to fix the intermittent problem. So, I've turned battery saver mode to be always on, because it turns off all 'non-essential features and background tasks'. So far the phone hasn't got hot again.
My question is whether you think there's any basic functionality that i'm not yet aware i'm missing out on. The documentation about battery saver mode is a bit vague. Things 'seem' to be working ok...
I know I have to manually sync mail and calendar, and i know that i won't get Facebook Messenger alerts. I still get texts! Cortana geofencing functionality still seems to work. The only other apps i regularly use are Photos, Podcasts, Maps, Spending Tracker, Internet Explorer, OneNote, Nokia MixRadio, Natwest, and National Rail. I haven't noticed anything wrong with those (except MixRadio which won't update an offline mix when battery saver mode is on; it errors and says 'battery low').
