So I got this Eureka to play with a few days, and even though it doesn't have a SIM, the battery life is pathetic. Goes full down in 6 hours.
Anyone faced this issue? What's causing wakelocks! I haven't even install any app on it that can cause the wake lock. So is some stock app causing it? It's the same case even after rebooting the device.

Read the first post of this thead: *www.digit.in/forum/mobiles-tablets/190176-brief-micromax-yu-yureka-review.html

Got to know that Media Server might be causing the wake lock. But my screen show no Media Server app running. Instead it shows that battery is down due to "display". But I haven't kept my phone's display on. So I started to ponder.

Now, there is this feature on, "double tap to wake device". Could that be causing issues? [MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION]: Have you kept this feature on?

I have the "Double tap to wake" & "Double tap to lock" feature activated..that shouldn't cause this much battery drain.. :O

These tap features are always super helpful. Once you get used to it you won't be able to live without it.

So while I was trying to find the root cause of battery drainage, we (me and my friend who bought this phone) decided to root the device so we can install app like Spare parts to find out the reason of wakelock. I followed this guide: [10.2.2015][TUTORIAL][how to root yu yureka | XDA Forums. But wasn't able to root it successfully. The following command seems to have worked:
Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
and
Code: 
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery-yu.img
But when I tried to reboot into recovery by following command:
Code: 
fastboot reboot-recovery
It never rebooted into recovery. The shortcut of pressing Vol Down + Power button also doesn't seem to work.

Coupled with battery issues, unable to root, and the lack of sensors like magnetic sensor (for Compass to work) we have decided to return the device.
This would be my second Micromax phone to return due to dissatisfaction. (Previous was Android One). And both incidentally ordered from Amazon. :(

Rooting was a headache for me too but I succeeded in rooting it and flashed CWM recovery. I'll try to post a complete review + rooting + FAQ guide after my CTs.

I can't access the product page of Yu Yureka: *www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00R659KZ8

Kind of makes me feel that Amazon don't have confidence in the product. So as to hide bad reviews they have removed the product page? :?

I am able to use the phone for two whole days with 5-6 hours of screen time with one full charge.

But a friend of mine had this problem once, the phone got overheated suddenly , battery started draining rapidly, my friend noticed an application named media server running in the background. he had to remove the battery and restart the device forcefully. Only that one time though.

I'd also suggest you to return the device, seems faulty. The phone is really great though, this is coming from someone who used to swear on never ever going for Micromax just a couple of months ago.

Its accessible during the sale period only. They haven't removed it but they shouldn't have hid it as well. :mad:
