I have turned off just about everything, email only sync once pe hour, cancelled push on Ebay Facebook, twitter etc.. only allowing FB Messenger through. Limited my phone to 3G as 4g kills it altogether.
My previous phone the Lumia 930, most of the time with teh same usage profile above I was putting on my wireless charger at about 11pm with 40-45% left.
Part of the problem I feel is the OS, because using my old 930 now on Win10, I am getting very similar issues, and its gets hot to the touch.
The otehr issue is screen size is of course quite large, although I dont have the XL version. And the hexacore processor is battery hungry.
One example, I was listing one of my old phones on ebay using the Ebay app, so I took about 10 photos, then listed it. Total time was about 30 mins from start to finish. My battery lost 32% during that time, and at the end, I felt I had to put the phone down and stop using it because it was probably about 50 degree... and no I dont run it in a case, and my Lumia is Black.
I am on my 2nd phone now from O2, and just about to give up on Windows forever, and go over to the "Dark Side" and probably change to IOS... I dont want to, as Win 8.1 was so good and fluid. This OS is a Joke and stuttery. I have to pay for Apps now that used to be included in the OS such as Quiet Time... Panorama has dissapeared altogether in my camera app. The common answer from @LumiaHelp try a Soft Reset... then when that doesnt work, they want you to do a hard reset...then you lose all your settings.. and its still no better.
This phone in my belief is no longer a smart phone, its a phone with a really good camera, that you can use as a smartphone...but if you do, make sure you have a batetry charger with you at all times
