In the week I disconnect my phone from the charger at around 8am, and it lasts until late evening, normally until I go to bed between 10pm and 12midnight. I'm very lazy, leave the phone in 2G/3G mode, WiFi on (connected at home and office), bluetooth on (only connects in the car).
Yesterday I had to make a road trip, I covered 150 miles in 2 1/2 hours (almost all motorway) and had disconnected at the normal time, and the radio had shut off by approximately 2pm (less than half the normal time) and as I had been driving I the phone will have had less than average usage. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm sure I had it with my 9700 (mostly running OS6) as well.
I did check some locations on BBmaps, but not until 10:30, and I'm pretty sure I had closed it. I connected my phone to the car charger for the return journey at 3pm, the phone was about half charged by the time I got home, and lasted me until bed with minimal discharge.
