Help Oneplus One battery drains quickly

I just got a new Oneplus One and imported my many apps from my old Samsung Galaxy S3.

I like the new phone, EXCEPT the battery seems to drain quickly. I plugged in both the S3 and OneplusOne, and after full charge let the two discharge. When the S3 still had 86% charge the Oneplus One was down to 58%. I was using them about the same amount and still using my SIM in the S3. The Oneplus One drained from 100% to 23% in one day of use. Most of that time I had Locations and Bluetooth disabled and only sporadically used the internet on Wifi (Mobile Data off).

I was under the impression that the 3100 mAh battery in the Oneplus was known for long running time. Maybe something specific is draining it?

Ideas? Or is this typical of Oneplus One?

Please help. Thanks.
 
Go into the power battery settings menu, and see if there's any particular app or process causing excessive drain, e.g. Facebook. If necessary post a screen-shot of the power consumption data, so might be able to give you some better ideas about what's happening.
 
My opo has much better (standby and screen on time) battery life than my s3 even though it has more pixels to push and a faster cpu.
So sounds like as Mike says, you have a rogue app
