Just download the nougat ROM from Wileyfox, they will send you a link if you ask them. Then you can flash boot and system (and if you like all other partitions and radios) and it will then be on nougat and working correctly. Scott

Looks like my new phone has the fault as well. Something causes the phone to use 2% per hour over and above normal use. Probably a sensor stuck on and using power. I will return this phone as well and give up on Wileyfox. Scott

Thanks for the reply. I returned my phone and got a new one. Old one drained 2% an hour. The new one drained 1% in 7 hours last night. So I think the old phone was faulty. Hopefully the new one doesn't develop the same fault. Scott

Hi, Re the GPS/location icon. I noticed the same issue. Seems to happen if the location is on 'device only'. Switching to one of the other location modes and rebooting 'fixes' the problem. Scott

Hi, Has anyone noticed a 1.5%-2% drain per hour when in airplane mode. It seems to happen if I have played with google maps and have maybe used GPS. Can anyone perhaps do some playing with their phone, ie use GPS etc, then switch to airplane mode overnight and see what drain they get please...

Hi, The vibration on my swift 2 is very 'quiet'. I can not feel the vibration when in my pocket, I can hardly feel it in my hand. Can you let me know if your phones are similar or if my is maybe a bit faulty. Regards, Scott

Hi, On marshmallow and nougat with no user apps installed, ie 'factory reset' I have noticed I sometimes get excellent battery, eg I lose pretty much just 2% in an 8 hour period. However sometimes it is 2% per hour. It is not an app causing this, no wakelocks that I can see. It seems like...

Hi, How do you find the vibration on the swift 2 plus. Mine is very very weak. In fact it sounds lime a mosquito buzzing with pretty much no actual vibration at all. I'm wondering if it is normal or not. Thanks, Scott

It would be good if someone can list all the bloatware over and above the usual google apps. Thanks Scott

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the news feed that is on the Foxhole launcher when swiping right, ie an option to just turn it off. Also I assume it is possible to just 'disable' Trucaller and a lot of other bloatware without rooting? Regards, Scott ---------- Post added at...

Clearly that is not the GPS bug. Read the thread rather then jumping to conclusions. For a start the GPS bug means roughly 1.5% per hour drain.

Why don't you do some tests with active display on/off and let us know how it affects battery.

Leaving the bootloader unlocked can be a potential security issue, you can Google it to find out why. I believe if your phone was stolen it makes it easy for the thief to access your data. However I never relock mine as if my phone was stolen the first thing I would be doing is changing...

I didn't know that about Samsung and LG as I have never had one. So I have also learnt something :)

Hi,I meant for your first attempt at flashing back stock when your bootloader was OK. CM is just a new system image, you didn't need to even attempt to reflash a bootloader. Even just using twrp to restore the system image alone would have got you back to stock.
