My phone is coming up on the 3 year mark. I notice that battery is draining faster than normal. Just usual tech obsolescence or what are some things I can do to keep from losing juice so fast?

In the members app you can run a diagnostic and choose battery. After 3 years it's possible it's close to 70% capacity. That means if it's holdin only a certain amount of the original capacity. It might say 100% fully charged and your noticed that the battery is decreasing rapidly. The battery needs to be replaced or upgraded.

I have found that if I Force Close apps I'm not actively using, that seems to help some with the battery life, since Force Closing tends to keep most apps from running in the background until you open that app again. I found this free app that works well to Force Close them for me:
