Help Battery drainage and internet errors

Hello,
my phone is acting weird and I'd like some advice on it if possible:

- My battery drains super fast - it takes about 6-5 hours or less of normal usage to go from 100% to zero. It started about a week ago.

- Sometimes it just wont connect to the internet. Google starts up, it provides search results, but I cannot open any of the pages. Apps that require internet connection (a weather forecast, for example) wont connect either. When I restart my device, they seem to work again just fine. This problem also started about the same time as my battery issue.

Does anyone experience similar issues? What could be the problem?
 
try it in safe mode.

"Safe mode
is a way to launch Android on a smartphone or tablet without any third-party apps that might ordinarily run as soon as the operating system finishes loading. Normally, when you power on your Android device, it may load a series of apps automatically like a clock or calendar widget on your home screen. just to see if anything is going on with third party apps."

if it is still happening then i would recommend a factory reset. if it is still happening then you might have hardware issues.
 
As far as your battery drainage issue that started recently, is there anything that happened around that same time that might be something to look into? If you check your Settings >> Battery menu are there any apps listed there that might indicate a problem? (i.e. something that looks out of sorts like the Download Manager app being stuck on something)

Regarding your connectivity issues, are they happening when using WiFi or mobile data (cellular), or both?
