Help short battery time

[Battery problems]

I have a Samsung s5 and have done all the recent updates, lollipop, and my battery is so bad since then. It won't go a whole day with hardly any use. Any ideas

I had to do a factory reset to solve my lollipop problems

A factory reset, or at least booting into recovery to clear the cache partition is recommended after taking any OTA Update.

If you need to backup before hand, take a look at something like Helium.

I use two ancient on/off widgets, one for mobile data, one for wifi data. I keep them off whenever I can to help the battery last a few days. The former is called Connection Manager but is apparently deceased, the latter is WiFi Connection Manager. I'm not on Lollipop. but that shouldn't matter.
