I am very displeased with the battery life on my 6+. Is mine defective?

I was referring to those stats regarding battery full charge capacity and current capacity.
I'm still waiting fot TheKommunist to say how did the restore go
So, experimentally I decided to not charge my phone before I went to bed. The first image is my stats right before I locked my phone before sleep. The following image is the next morning when I first woke up. As you can see there has been about 17 minutes of unaccounted for usage, resulting in a 3% drop which isn't too bad, but my overall screen on time is still CRAP.
I checked my diagnostics log and also saw a ridiculous number of jetsam events, (this is just one page, theres about another page and a half or so of the same kind of crash log).
Now I will repeat here again,
- tinder has been deleted long ago
- background app refresh has been completely turned off
- every system location service except find my iphone is OFF
- location services are ONLY ON for Siri and navigation apps
- 2 mail accounts are set to FETCH HOURLY
- icloud is set to MANUAL updating
- auto brightness is OFF and set to 30%
CLEARLY there is something wrong here! Anyone who gives me some shtick about how I should turn off background refresh or location services PLEASE RED THE LIST ABOVE. I'VE DONE EVERY SINGLE BATTERY OPTIMIZATION IMAGINABLE (And take not that many people who dont do ANY sort of optimizations are getting better performance than me).
I'm getting almost the exact same battery life as you.
I'm on 42% for 5 hours 50 screen time. That number is also complete bs.
Let me know how you do, did you try exchanging with Apple?

They said they'd be able to replace it for me through the mail, but the guy i talked to said I should do a restore and set up as new phone and NOT install any apps at all to see how it goes. If that doesn't work I'm going to go for the replacement. Looks like my particular unit slipped through their QC department.
Anyone else seeing a FullChargeCapacity of 2700? Mine dropped from 2900 to 2800 to 2700 since the update to iOS 8.1.
What's your cycle count? Mines still at cycle count 3 and the fullchargecapacity displays 3K still. On 8.1
It says I have 10 cycles. Oddly enough, it's now fluctuating between 2700 and 2800.
You must be new
Why reply if you had no intention on answering my question?

I get about 11 hours or so on my plus. I do everything from facebook, Instagram, Safari, messaging and pandora.

After updating to 8.1, I have noticed that my battery life is even better than it was before. This is on my 6+.
Finally had a day where I didn't plug my Plus in (connect it via lightning cable for audio in the car), and my young son used it in place of his Mum's iPad for a good while too.
Got this:

This is 8.1 with brightness set fairly conservatively and 2 push email accounts.
This day the phone really was used heavily, and streamed audio via Bluetooth a lot.
Are the results to be expected?

There is definitely something wrong. You should do a hard reset (holding power and home button until you see the apple logo again).
Usage and standby time shouldn't be the same, except you're using the phone ALL the time.
Yes the MaH readings does fluctuate, which is normal. But only at 10 Cycles and your down that low?
Guys, don't fall for the tricks people are doing here. Check out my usage :
Crazy yeah !??!
Well .. I left my phone on airplane mode and took another phone because I was going on a rugged trip which might damage the phone. I came back and used it for a bit until it dropped to 74%. I could have used it for maybe 12+ hours then say I had more than two days usage, but I had work and needed to sleep and charge the phone.
Anyway, my point is that your phone can last 2 days on complete standby, then get around 8-12 hours of usage and post a picture here. Don't fall for pics stating that they is continuous all day on 4G/LTE with 50%+ brightness and continuous gaming, videos, background activity and location services. From my stats you would have those that I was vining and playing games the whole 2 hrs and 30 mins of usage.
This whole results thing here doesn't mean jack. You must compare a phone that has the same exact options turned on along with usage for a proper test. Some people just whatsapp for 2 total hours during the day and do nothing else, then post a picture saying that have 2 days usage.
