Maybe this will help diagnose things. Normal? Or a problem?

Hi
Thats not so good. I get about 17hrs 100-15% with quite heavy use, but I use Juice Defender to manage the power use. I don't let it get down to 7% as I have heard its not good for the battery.
How many radios do you have on
wifi (clearly) but what about bluetooth, data, NFC, GPS ? These all draw power. Try turning on Power Saving in settings. The motion settings enable the motion sensors so this may also be contributing to power drain if enabled. If you have everything turned on that may explain it, but if not I think you may have a faulty battery. Could you swap batteries with someone for a day to test it?

It doesn't look too bad to me. The phone was not idle during the 7 hours. It looks like you have the screen on for at least 5 or 6 hours and using the phone. If you have it set on very bright, it will drain the battery in about 6 to 8 hours even with nothing else running.

That doesn't seem right to me. On my stock battery with 7-8 hours of screen time I usually get 15-18 hours.
:/ Had power save mode on.... auto brightness on... gps off for quite a while, multi window off for a while, used it lightly here and there throughout the day...
I got like 5 hours more. But no where near the rest of you.

Hi again
Is better but not great. Have you increased the sync intervals for Facebook and email. If set to 5 mins it is a big battery drain. I really suggest you install Juice Defender and work slowly through the advanced settings to set up the phone as you want it. It's quite a sophisticated program (turn off the phones built in power saver in settings as it may conflict)
I heard that the max brightness in 4.1.2 is 200% brighter than in 4.1.1 (lucidmike78 youtube video) and this may explain any change after your upgrade as the screen the largest battery user.

If I turn off data and wifi, then put the phone down overnight I lose 1-2% battery life over 8-10 hours... So maybe try to turn things off you're not using(gps, nfc, bluetooth...)
maybe try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5yb290dW5pbnN0YWxsZXIuYmF0cnNhdmVyIl0.

You could do a battery recalibration and see if that helps as well. Charge to 100% then let battery drain completely or until phone shuts off. Then charge back to 100% do not interrupt the charge.
Although this is the best way to conserve battery and extend the battery, what's the point of a smart phone then?

Isn't it bad to let these batteries drain that low? I heard don't let it get below 20%.

I found that if you have data and sync on if there's no signal (e.g. no 3g or 4g signal showing) it consumes more battery. If I have to stay in a place where there's no signal and I'm staying there for a long time, I would turn data and sync off.

This is my experience as well.
Download better battery stats pro. And you can see what clockrate your cpu is at, and also if your phone ever enters deep sleep mode or not. Also then it will show you if you have a strong signal or not.
