My iPhone 5 is draining very fast giving a usage time of 6 hrs , previously it was giving 8 hrs , any suggestions to increase the battery efficiency ?
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4
Hello,
Here is an article written by Apple on this issue: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
I hope this helps but if not please feel free to respond here and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Regards,

Nice article, will follow each and evry point mentioned over there and let me try out my luck. does turing on blue tooth whole day consumes more battery ?
Yes, that would consume more battery than having it off.
I have followed all the steps in the article and turned of blue tooth , Let me check my battery efficiency ,publish here for any discrepancies.
Great! How is that working for you?
Current stauts of the battrey is shown in screen shot , but i doubt whether it will serve me 8 hrs or not
any additional changes do i need to make ?
As long as you followed the steps in the article, you are maximizing your battery life.
I followed all the steps 😟 any thing else can be done ? I am losing 2 hrs of battery power !
Some other things I would keep in mind are social networking apps or music/video streaming apps. Make sure to only use these a little bit and be sure to close them out completely when you are finished using them.
I'll contradict that - BlueTooth uses no power at all unless there is a device connected, and then it only uses 3 MW. So turning off BT will not make any noticeable difference in battery life.
The advice on apps is good.
Also keep in mind that signal strength can make a huge difference in battery life. A weak signal can require 10 times as much power as a strong signal, so if you are frequently in marginal signal areas your battery life will be greatly reduced, even if you don't use the phone much.
AT&T connection is good at my place , I over charged the phone few times may be because of that it is hindering the performance ??
No, it is impossible to overcharge the battery. The battery charger circuit is actually in the phone, not in the so-called "charger" which is actually just a power source. The charger circuit stops charging once the battery reaches 100%, so you could leave the power source connected for a year and it would not overcharge the battery.
The battery life will decrease over time, according to Apple, reaching about 50% of its original capacity after about 400 full charge cycles (a full charge cycle is 0-100%; so if you charge it twice from 50% to 100% that counts as 1 charge cycle).
Good info , makes sense , my phone is 6 months old , so is the stage reached for 50 % battery life ?

No. Unless you charge 2 or more times a day from zero, 400 charge cycles will take about 2 years.
I think its more likely you have an app that is sending or receiving a lot of data.
ok , Let me check which app is consuming lots of data which is reducing battery performance. Any generic apps names which consumes most data ?
