Weird battery drain

For one it looks like you have a lot of games running in the background that need to be closed. Listed Plague Inc., Vector and Celtic Tribes that I can see in the screen shot.

I think the main thing is your screen. Your screen was on almost all the time. The big, bright screen on these smartphones suck battery like there's no tomorrow. There's no much you can do about that other than turn the brightness down or buy an extended battery (Or charge more often).

Also, understand what these percentages mean. All battery use adds up to 100%, so when other things aren't using battery then System and OS, by default, get assigned the usage. 15% isn't out of the ordinary.

Hmm about the apps, I always hold down the home button and clear the apps after I'm done with it. I think it meant how long I played that game total when I unplugged. As for the screen, that could be it but my brightness is below halfway but a little bit above the lowest. Before, I had CyanogenMod 10.1 and it would have about the same battery life but the display would be at around 90ish percent while the others word be at 5 or less.

No holding the Home button and using the Task manager does not stop them from running. Some games have an Exit button in the Menu. Others use the Back button not the Home button to close. If the Back button does not close them you would need to Force Stop the game in the Phone Settings>Application manager. Scroll down to each game and tap on it and then tap Force Close.

Oh I see now, thanks!
