Help S3mini High Battery Drain

Hi all

Sorry if this has been covered already....

My S3mini has started to consume a lot of battery over the last few days. Looking at the Battery Usage, it is showing that Android OS is using a very high portion of it (sometimes up to 70%).

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or a possible solution??

Many thanks
