If you use Siri to set location based reminders, but don't check them as
'complete', it continually monitors your location. Under 'Location
services', it was showing the purple active arrow until I checked the
complete box, then it went grey.
Turn off LTE. Battery drainer.
Check your cell signal. If you're in an area of weak signal, or at the edge of LTE or 3G support, your iPhone's radio could be screaming away on full power just trying to stay on the network, or switching between connection types, and wasting a lot of power. If you have bad reception, consider a micro-cell at home or at work. If you're at the edge of LTE, turn it off in Settings and stick with 3G until you get to a place with better coverage.
SIRI’s
Turn off Siri's Raise to Speak. Go to Settings, General, Siri. Readers keep telling us this has helped them with battery life due to accelerometer issues.
Or just enjoy the phone and plug it in often....
