Your signal is pretty bad. -105 is not good to have. That will negatively affect the battery
But since you're on T-Mobile, you can take advantage of wifi calling. You can put your phone on airplane mode + wifi and still receive texts and calls through wifi. That should improve battery life
What was your brightness? -105 shouldn't affect things, especially when you're connected to Wi-Fi (not sure how long you were on it, though). Spotify streaming is noticeably worse than local playback (obviously)
Brightness is usually 30% that max is about 50% but I don't always have it at 50%
And I'm on wifi as much as I can be. At home it's always wifi. I too seem to have forgotten if I went out and lose wifi. Oh no I didn't t was raining in my city so I was home for the whole cycle that's in the screen shot.
And will it make a difference if the spirit music is stored on the phone? I have it stored but I think it will still slurp more battery than the built in music app will. I will try to switch to wifi calling like they said above to see if anything changes.
I did do a restore as new phone yesterday to see if that hopefully helps.
6+ for today. Averaged 2 bars (around -114). Decent I'd say. 100% LTE, except for about 20 minutes of hotspot usage.
iPhone 6, Currently on 8.1.2 and a backup from my 4S. I've had the phone for 3 weeks now and it seems the battery is getting worse. It's not draining fast or anything, at least I think. I don't have any screenshots from before but it seemed i got 8 hours of usage.
Mostly on wifi today. I mean, it's not like it's going to die soon or anything, but I just don't know :/ What do you say?

That's about where I'm at with my 6 on a fresh install. I've never seen 8 hours of use but have come close.
That's actually pretty good and about normal. You're on pace for about 7+ hours of usage and that looks about right for the 6.
Yeah, you are right about that. Not sure why it didn't seem normal to me. At the end of the day, this is what I ended up with:
Last night ended up with this on my 6. Granted mostly on wifi but still pretty great for the 6 though right?
I'm really interested to see some screenshots with >>>
- less than 10% battery
- between 2 to 4 days of standby
- xx hours of usage

No.. I also disabled Background App Refresh, Location Services and Mail push.
Even tried to restore iPhone without backup but it still happens.
I can't understand those numbers (50% after 17 minutes of usage ???) and that language, but it could be some process stuck in background.
