Try disabling apps that run in the background and use mobile data. Facebook is a notorious battery hog. Email clients with push enabled can also be quite resource hungry.

If you go to settings->apps->running, that will tell you what's running in the background.

I think its normal..data connection will drain battery so fast

Is your phone brand new??or recently updated?

It sounds a little on the high side, but I really don't think you need to change the battery.

Mobile data makes a big difference. If I'm out and about the battery will be completely gone by the end of the day with moderate use.

Some reviews say you get 4-5 hours streaming video on a full charge, which sounds about right to me.

Well, sounds pretty normal to me. There is a battery review here, but I don't think it represents real world use:

I never get anywhere near that - no way would I get 7 hours video with mobile data on.

Sajin — Sat, 24 May 2014 02:09:20 GMT

Initally i was very happy with xsp bttery life. But now days having huge battery drain even in standby mode. Only geting 8 hr backup in night also. Now i used to manage it with deleting eco mode controller data and restart. After that i m getting decent backup. So i am sure there is no issue wirh the battery. But i need to do it in every two days. Please suggest any solution for this.

I have experienced a heavy battery drain and it was causedby the google play services. Needed for nothing, but it ate that battery in one day. So, go to settings-apps-running...and disable what you do not need.

That will give you more ram and battery

Google Play services usually mean that someting ks syncing. In my experience it was the Calendar. It literally raped my battery. You might want to check what is syncing at the moment, because it might be stucked in an endless loop. I had a problem with my Calendar, and it lasted for 2 days until I noticed.
