I noticed in the last day or 2 that my battery has been less charged statue end of my work day and also that the loading thing is constantly spinning. Is that a xausecand effect or coincidence?
I know you posted this quite awhile ago, but I’m noticing the same thing. Beside my carrier (top left corner), there is an icon that is constantly spinning. I just updated my iPhone to the latest iOS 8.1.3 so I’m wondering if it has something to do with this?
It still does it, I don’t use my phone for the forums very often any more after a month of 10 gigs of use, most of which were on my phone and ipad which I was using for forums 
I don’t use my phone for the forums either, but the icon still spins constantly. Weird…
