What on earth is going on with my battery?

Greetings,

I have almost lost it with my battery. First, it used to stay for more than  a day... no problems. Then it began to last all of a sudden for about more than half a day which i didnt have a problem with. I updated to Lollipop and it began to last around 14-18 hours which was okay but another update was released after the major update which completely killed the battery life. I tried fixing using PCC and it even became worse lasting only 7-12 hours with moderate usage. What do I do now?

Thanks.Screenshot_2015-05-11-17-01-22.png

We can't say as you haven't posted an image of what's using your battery only the graph - Also I see your phone is nearly always awake and your signal strength at some times is using more power than normal which is normally because of poor signal strength

I can also see some 3rd party apps there (battery doctors and so on). Why don't you try to remove some of them and see how it goes?

I also noticed you had some problems before:

But I have never played with the settings. Only after updating I saw this mail app beginning to take loads of battery. What's the reason? I also can't seem to force stop it.

I will remove some recently installed apps and reply asap.
