Re: why my battery is draining really fast?

Look at all of the settings and turn off things that you don't use regularly - NFC. Bluetooth, Location, etc. If there's any turned on, then see how battery life changes with them turned off.

Also take a look at your background tasks to see which have been enabled after the upgrade (Settings-->System->Battery Saver->Battery use) - disable any apps that you don't want to work in the background (there are many apps that I only want to work when I open them manually)

If neither of those fix the battery life, try:

1. Try a soft reset (press and hold power button until you get prompted to slide the locks screen down). Restart the device and see if the battery life improved
2. Try a hard reset (Settings->System->About). Ensure that you have a recent backup before doing this.

If option 1 doesn't work, try 2.
