Hi, i live in Australia and bought a phone from eBay and it came from over seas, and the battery just drains even while nothing is open and is sleeping i heard that buying phones from over seas is bad for the battery because of the carrier e.g. im on telstra, and the phone might be designed for some other foreign carrier, and they say that this will drain the battery, because of compatibility or something. does anybody know if this is true? its a Samsung galaxy note 4 it is relatively new so maybe it just hasn't been worn in yet i don't know,
