You can check in Settings > Battery > Show battery usage see what apps are using the most power.

@Rainking37
The main battery usage should be Screen, followed by Android and standby/idle.

Cheers Cameron there was a noticeable improvement in battery in safe mode cheers just finding out which is causing it, possible Google fit as it measures your steps not 100%

I have had this issue for a while on and off. Phone gets hot too. Usually its screen, phone idle and Google play services that are the main battery drain. Tryong safe mode for a bit to see if that helps. Will do a day tomorrow of normal use, or as normal as safe mode will allow, and report back.
