Battery life has suddenly become much shorter

Having been really impressive so far, my battery life appears to have dropped drastically over the last couple of weeks. Previously my battery would comfortably last the whole day, I could leave the house at the start of the day at about 60% and be confident it would easily last the whole day, now I leave the house on 100% and I'm down to about 20% by the time I'm home from work. In particular, whenever I'm down to 14% my phone seems to drop pretty much instantly to 8% .



I can't think of anything I'm doing differently, only thing that comes to mind is I updated my phone via my computer a few weeks ago but no idea if that's connected to the problem. I installed GSAM for a week ago and haven't really been able to pinpoint where all my battery is going, my phone has continued to show a lot less battery capacity than before and also seems to be taking longer than usual to charge.



As expected Screen and App Usage are the main drain on the battery both tend to be somewhere in the 40%-55% region. The only thing which surprised me is that Facebook (which I don't excessively use) is pretty much always at the top of my app usage, often at about 20%-30% of the app usage. So I can uninstall and reinstall this as it may be partly to blame but it doesn't really account for why my battery is dying so much quicker than before. I could also dim the screen a bit to help but I kind of don't feel like I should have to as I've never changed it the whole time I've had the phone so it shouldn't be a cause of why my battery has suddenly got worse.



Any ideas?
