iPhone 5s battery draining quickly

[mojitomax]

Has anyone else noticed this?

I used to finish my day with 30%+ remaining but now it's down to 30% at about 6pm

I'm hoping ios8 will improve this or at least tell me which apps are using power

Nah, I keep mine and change every two years. It'll be the6S for me.

Although I've only had my 5S since 01/01/14.

At least with the new ios8 it will have the ability to see which apps are draining the battery.

My phone usage said that it had been active for 7 hours out if the past 10 during the day. I don't know how, I'd been at work not on the phone. There must be an errant app draining it

I've just shut all the running apps and done a restart. Hopefully this will cure the issue

I hVe ios8 and see no feature that tells me app battery usage.

I seem to remember from the keynote a feature of ios8 was a function that showed which apps were using power. Like in mavericks.

I closed all my apps and restarted my phone.

Only had messages, mail, safari and a frequently accessed game open. Down to 96% in 4 hours.

Previously my phone was showing usage of 7 hours and standby of 10. I think there is an app that was draining my battery. Just need to find out which one.

6pm of normal usage and battery down to only 76%

9 hours standby, 2.5 hours usage.

It seems that an app was running in the background. Which one though...?

11pm over here and the battery is down to 30%. This is after a day if moderate use. Some YouTube streaming, phone calls, text messaging, gaming and surfing.

Pretty respectable I think.

It seems that an app has been draining the battery. I'm going to keep closing stuff down and see how it goes. But a successful experiment nonetheless

Go into system preferences and see which apps are draining the battery.

If you're in a low signal area then this will drain the battery as the phone hints for signal
