iPhone 5s batt

[Lestart]

I bought my 5s on tuesday and I find that my battery drains very fast even when I am just surfing the net and facebook, it drains about 2% after 5min of usage. When I play games like PvZ2 or Deer Hunt, it drains about 1% per min of usage.
Is it normal or is there a problem with my batt?

Let the battery season for a week or so. Alternative is to do a setting reset and network reset.
By right if u at LTE, u should only get 8h battery usage.

Normal. I play Deer hunt 2014 and drains around the same rate as yours.
However, if you normally use it , just for calls , some web surfing , can last up to 1.5 days (My mum's Space Grey one).
I think is because of the graphics of the games that drains the battery of iphone5s so fast, very vibrant and detailed.

your bad signal reception most likely the root cause. If at home better to connect to wifi and turn cellular data off.

Dial *3001#12345#* and on left top (signal dots location) will turn into numbers. If your reception is less than -95 or -100 (this is negative number -110 is less than -100) it means your reception is not good and it's draining your battery.

Mine drop 6% percent while on standby while I was asleep. The battery life seems worse than 4S.

Should I restore or?

Anyone also feels that your 5S batt drain faster on wifi?

Can, under data off the 4G button and you are back to 3G/2G

bigger number (closer to 1) is better.
eg. -80 is better than -100

About the same on wifi, but 4g drains faster

Ever since I charged over night once. My 5S drops from 100% to 99 with just 3 mins of usage.
