It also has 4G - maybe that's helping to run the battery down.

Oh, I was also playing YouTube videos on the bus, but that shouldn't have eaten up that much power.
Go to Settings / Wireless / Location Based Services and turn it OFF. That is the most vicious battery hog of anything out there.

If any apps insist on using that "feature," uninstall that app.

If you use GSam, Battery Monitor, it will show which features and apps are draining the battery. Just tap App Usage and you will see their exact usage.
