Xperia M2 poor battery
I just got the Xperia M2 new. The brightness is on its lowest setting and I'm not exactly sitting on my phone all day watching videos. All I do is check FB and Whatsapp occasionally. I use it exactly the same way I used my lower range HTC One V. The battery specs are more powerful than my HTC but the battery goes so much faster... I don't get it.
E.g. I'm using only Whatsapp and it went from 12% to 5% in the space of 5 minutes. Please advise.

...and disabling GPS and turning off wifi when not in use will also save energy. It might also be worth having a look at the numerous energy and battery saving apps in the Google Play store.

I got an S5 a couple of months ago and was very impressed with the battery life, for a smartphone lasted ages. However in the last few weeks I've been experiencing similar issues to the OP. However I discovered yesterday that the phone's power saving mode had been turned off! I've turned it back on and things seem fine today - just check to see if the same thing's happened to your phone.
