Help Awful G3 Standby time

A

Lurker
So ive been using my G3 for about 10 days now and have been getting pretty bad battery life at work with airplane mode on and only wifi and wanted to really test out the battery last night by leaving it unplugged overnight. I usually keep my phone plugged in overnight but since it was the weekend i was home on saturday and it was in the charger for basically the whole day i decided to test the battery. I unplugged the phone at around 2:50 and took the screenshots below at around 8. I lost 29% of my battery during that time and i was SHOCKED!!! my phone was on 4G however i have really good service where i live and was on 4-5 bars all night. the phone didn't have bluetooth, wifi, nfc... ect active. The phone was on 15% brightness (if that even matters since the screen was off all night). Before i took the screenshots i went into battery and saw that an app called "lyft" was said to use 70% so i uninstalled it before taking that screenshots. I really don't know what i should do because i am rooted and have already installed a tempered glass screen protector. Please help if possible!

Edit: Its 9:37 now and around an hour and a half after i uninstalled lyft. I am now at 68% which is better than last night however still pretty bad considering i had a screen on time since last night of just 6 minutes and 29 seconds. Here are the screenshoot updates: imgur: the simple image sharer ; imgur: the simple image sharer ; imgur: the simple image sharer
Edit #2: Battery life continuing to drain fast i have 59% which means i have lost 9% in less than 2 hours of virtually no screen on time. I am very concerned and don't know what to do? If anyone has had this issue please let me know. Screenshots: imgur: the simple image sharer ; imgur: the simple image sharer ; imgur: the simple image sharer
 
Have you restarted the phone? My standby battery life is insane. I got 15 hours out of 10% of the battery with light usage the other day.
 
Yea my standby battery life has been excellent. Your results seem to be an anomaly from what I've read of others' experiences.
 
Ya, sounds like you might have an issue. My standby battery life has been phenomenal coming from an s3. I can unplug my phone when I go to bed and wake up 8 hours later with it still at 100%.
 
Check and see what is running and checking on your phone. Sounds like your "standby" really isn't....
