iPhone 6 Battery Usage

Question

iPhone 6 Battery Usage

Using iOS 8.0.2 under Settings--->General--->Usage--->Battery Usage you are supposed to be able to see what Apps are draining your battery. This works on my iPad 2 running iOS 8.0.2, but not on my iPhone 6. I get a message saying "Battery information will be available after using the iPhone for a few minutes." However the information is never displayed for the Last 24 hours or the Last 7 days. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?😕

I'm trying to trouble shoot why my battery life on the iPhone 6 is so very dismal.😢 I only get a few hours of use out of a fully charged battery. I'm told that "Allow Hey Siri" is a big drain on the battery, so I've turned that off. I would still like to know what other Apps could be a problem.

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light on why my batter usage is not showing up.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

The Battery Use is displayed regularly on my iPhone suggesting that something unusual is happening on your device. Try a reset of your iPhone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Also, I doubt that the Hey Siri thing would take too much battery since it only works when your iPhone is connected to the charger.

Thanks Ralph, I had already tried that, but tried it again at your suggestion, no joy. I then did a total reset, (Settings--->General--->Reset--->Reset All Settings) that did nothing to help the situation either. I'm really stumped on this one.

I found that if I let the phone die completely (where it shuts off itself) and leave it for half an hour, then plug the phone in and let it charge to 100% it worked, it may not come back straight away, but it definitely worked for me.
