rather annoying problem.
Phone will occasionaly go from 3bars of batt down to batt low warning in a matter of seconds. Software is up to date and doesnt seem to matter weather im using 4 apps or none. Doesnt happen everytime, just sometimes. Cant think why!
Any ideas?

Just checked it was 5c. Nevermind.
I deleted a lot of photo's vids and all my themes from the phone, changed to a standard theme, soft reset and ran battery down, seems to be behaving a bit better today
