HI,

 

I have a problem with my battery draining quicker than it should. 

When I first got the phone last than 2 mouths ago the battery would last as normal then it started. For eample I fully let the battery discharge and then fully recharged left it, woke up took it off charge and it would last 6 hours on Standby should be a hell of a lot more than this.

 

I have tried a shedload of things to resolve this I have removed all my apps, done a restore stopped any and all icloud items stop push email etc and I still got that result stated above.

 

Is there any help or anything else I can do? This is not ideal

The first comment is that letting the battery fully discharge is the wrong thing to do and can damage the battery. The days when batteries developed memories and needed to be fully discharged are long gone. Charge little and often and try not to let it go below 20%.

 

Have you upgraded to iOS 8? if so you can what apps are using the battery by going into settings - general - usage. It may well be down to a rogue app.

 

If you can't identify it I'd take the phone into an Apple store and let a genius look at it.
