Terrible Battery life all of a sudden

I see quite a few people posting about battery drain issues on this forum. I have been experiencing heavy drain in the past 2 weeks with no apparent reason.  I have to keep the phone plugged in to maintain any battery life.

I see the common response is to screenshot the battery settings so here we go-

I can't really see much on that screenshot, charge the phone 100% > use it as you normally would > DO NOT charge the phone > let it drain to 10% then 

take screenshots like the one above

tap on the top 4 items on the list and take screenshots 

settings > about phone > status > signal strength > take a screenshot > post them all here

Mainly due to rouge app causing the drain. I had same issue and painfully decided to repair my phone and selectively choose apps to be reloaded. Till now, battery life is ok.

Hahaha. Tell the telstra app not to use wifi location services, and restrict its background data. It installs itself as part of the boot apps for the phone. Rude.

I have too noticed couple of weeks ago that my battery is draining faster than earlier.
