S5 Battery Drain.

[Oscar Leonardo Barraza]

Can someone tell me what's wrong with my s5? I have this problem since a long time. Thank you

Welcome to Android Central! It seems that recent versions of Facebook have been battery hogs, so you might try uninstalling it temporarily to see if your battery life improves.

The battery itself might also be starting to wear out--consider a new battery. Do you habitually let it drain to <10% before charging back up? If so, that can reduce the overall lifespan of a battery. In general, try not to let it drop much below 30-40% on a regular basis.

Basically what B. Diddy said. Facebook has slowed down my old galaxy s4 a lot! It used around 200MB and each time I update Facebook, it seems to get worse. I have an S5 now with 5.0 lollipop and have not been dealng with no battery drains. Facebook, Skype, and Kik have been know for using loads of battery.
