Welcome to the forums. What are you doing on your phone when the screen is on?

I'm using Kik, Facebook occasionally, and I know tumblr eats battery so I use it rarely

For me, it's hard to pinpoint what else is going on. Even though you are just using Kik and Facebook, they are still using the screen (always the biggest drain on the battery, especially if the screen is set to a high brightness), accessing the internet, etc.

Are you using the stock cable and charger? Perhaps one or the other is wearing down and needs to be replaced?

Change your charging Wire or the plug.

Change power level in power save and turn it on as well. keep brightness at minimum and if all else fails check battery by professional and/or replace power cord.
