Said smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace2.



Previously if I eft home with it 100% charged it would last all day,

maybe dropping to 40% charged by the time I got home.



For the past week its been dropping to 30% or less by around 3pm.



Something is clearly running in the background & using up battery power,

any idea what?



Once its been running for a bit, go to the Battery entry on the main

settings menu - that should tell you what has been using the lions share

of the juice.



(also keep in mind, that as the batts get older, their capacity drops)

Assuming the Ace2 works the same as the Ace the required menu is in settings about phone battery use. FWIW I keep wifi, BT and GPS off and just about get 3 days out of my Ace with a few voice calls and regular email updates.
