Is anyone else experiencing this?  Since using the Blaze for the last few days, I need to charge my iPhone6 before the end of the day.  Normally I charge it once in the morning and it still has plenty of power left by the next morning.  I've used the Charge HR with this phone for the last 2 months and had no battery issues with my phone.

I've only used connected GPS once so far.  That was on Saturday and it didn't seem to have a big impact on phone battery life.  The battery "stats" show that the Fitbit app is responsible for a little over 20% of battery usage.  I think that is excessive.

So, what is the app doing and how do I stop it?

I have the 6s plus and I have not noticed any issues. My wife says her LG G4 battery has been dying much faster with the Blaze than it did with the Charge.  

 

I told her to turn off all day sync to see if that fixed the issue, you could try that as well.

I don't use all-day sync since it seems to drain the tracker battery much faster.  So that is not part of this problem.  Good idea though!
