How is knowing that supposed to help someone who is having a problem (which is why the OP started the thread)?
Oooppppssss ! Smack hands. Actually I was called away and was unable to finish my last post.
OK, some suggestions.
1) Don't leave closed apps in the 'Tray'. I find they do use power despite others saying otherwise. Double tap home button, tap and hold an icon, tap the red X on each one to close.
2) Check power usage using settings/general/usage. This will show usage since last full charge, and standby ditto. Use these figures in conjunction with the % shown at the top of the screen to monitor actual usage. You may be surprised at the results.
2) Turn off all notifications using settings/notifications. If needed turn on individual apps as needed.
3) Turn off all location services using settings/privacy/location services. Again turn on only those really needed.
4) Turn off Bluetooth using settings/Bluetooth.
5) Turn down screen brightness using settings/brightness and wallpaper - you could also remove wallpaper and just have a plain screen colour and use auto-brightness.
6) Every now and then, use your device until the battery is completely drained (say down to 1%) then do a full recharge on a mains adapter. This helps keep the battery fresh and can actually help the battery maintain its charge for a longer period of time over the lifespan of the battery.
If you follow these suggestions and monitor usage, you can then see exactly how much your 'standard' usage is. You can then turn back on items one at a time to see the effect of them.
Failing all, then a replacement battery seems to be a good idea.
Do hope this helps.
