I didn't remove any packages, I did it in the Google app settings, as well as in the Nova launcher settings. Sidenote: after disabling the feature completely in Google now, it still worked in Nova. Not sure why yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dodgeboy:
So I found an adb command in another thread that allowed me to see what processes were causing wake locks (I'm used to simply being able to use wakelock detector, but that's impossible without root.)

adb shell "dumpsys power | grep -i wake_lock"

When I run it, I see this process 100% of the time: DOZE_WAKE_LOCK 'AlpmModeManager' (uid=10000, pid=3440, ws=null) (elapsedTime=923471)

I occasionally see other PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCKs, but that ALpmModeManager DOZE_WAKE_LOCK is always there. Any ideas on what this process is? I searched google and could only find something related to SATA disks on Linux, which doesn't apply here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ydoucare:
I don't think it's impressive, no. I've had older phones that have had similar results, and I've tested them in the same way as this one, minus AOD obviously. I turned AOD off on Sunday and didn't really notice any difference, but I've got it off today and will see how it does under the exact same conditions as yesterday.

The last Apple product I owned was a 1st generation iPod touch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Hopefully we can figure out what this is.

Have you tried disabling the package?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dodgeboy:
I have not. With my luck it is a critical system package. I don't have time to go through the process of a factory reset this week, so I won't be risking it.

I also went into setting then edge setting and disabled edge feeds because that stops the capacitive sensors from turning off in the phone. its basically always waiting on you to swipe up and down the edge when its off to see your notifications and whatever feeds you apply. but i have to unlock my phone if i click any of them anyway so its kind of useless. Its helped my batter thus far since disabling it. some of you may not even know its on lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Two things that have helped me.

1. I noticed that when I take my phone off the charger, according to GSAM the phone never sleeps. Usually a restart and it will fall into a deep sleep.

2. I changed the location mode to GPS only, and this cut down drastically on the Google Play services usage.

Battery life has improved significantly for me after these two adjustments but I am still getting High Android system drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Where do you see in GSAM where it gives information about the phone sleeping?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] THEGAMEPLAY94:
It's under the Held awake section
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crazed_z06:
I noticed that a couple times too. Verified with cpu spy. After coming off the charger something would jeep the phone at the 300mhz cpu frequenCy until I rebooted. Interestingly I didn't have the issue this morning...

I did disable always on display and ok Google from any screen.. maybe that made a difference.. I also turned off location based Google now stuff..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] timeToy:
GREAT battery life today!

Took it off the Charger at 9am this Morning, this is real world usage at 69% battery remaining:

3 Hours Screen On time (Mostly Internet, and Waze)

1 Hours 20 minutes of Phone call (most of it on speaker)

40 minutes of Waze

(AOD is OFF, NFC is ON, Smart Stay is ON, Edge Panels is OFF, Edge feeds and lighting are ON, Location is ON, I have 2 Gmail accounts, Google Voice, Skype, Hangout, Go to meeting, Dropbox all syncing)

I do not use Package Disabler Pro or Debloater, I just disabled some apps from Settings/Application: (Chrome, Device Unlock, Facebook, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Music, Lookout, S Health, S Voice App, Samsung Gear, Samsung Gear, Samsung Milk Music, Samsung +, T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile TV, Visual Voicemail)

My phone seems to doze/sleep like a baby: (Look at this: 1866 Hours of Projected Standby, that's 77 Days !)

Too early to really post results, but you van try it

Also try restricting the Google services background data

I appreciate all of the feedback. My battery was dropping like a stone, so I had to factory reset. I'll post back once I get everything back in order on if that helped or not.

I remember receiving (and installing) a system update earlier this week, but the battery drain only started today.

Do a factory reset.

Or try clean cache.

Or just reboot

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bdbx18:
Oculus is the culprit for those who have it. I remember seeing Oculus being updated on Tues or Weds. Then my battery was draining faster than the kitchen sink. So based on the reddit threads, I de-installed (not even forced stop) everything starting with Oculus and my batt has been steady for the past 5 hours

Apc8 is best. I got in almost 2 days 40 min usage android system. With new roms 1 total day is like 5 hours of android system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Yes always clean flash.

Its best for you.,could not be for others.

I already test and flash ACP8 numbers times.

And in the end its the same.

ACP8 is only better in wifi.

Because in 4G or mix my counts gonna be the same.

Android System and Android OS and cell standby are always around 100mAh per 10%, when is less is better. This always with wifi or 4G on.

And i like new functions in the new updates.

I don't care for 2 days because never last 2 days.

I charge every day.

As you can see my counts are all the same and sot is not bad.

It's been confirmed that oculus is the problem which I can confirm too. Uninstall all oculus and gear vr apps where possible under settings applications and it will solve the major battery drain ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
i am afraid that besides some greenifying you cant do much, i rooted mine because of the drain and these fixes really helped

i've tried so many things that i dont exactly nows what modification makes which improvement

You can run wakelock detector to view whats draining your battery with some non-root workaround, but most of the time you cant do much about it without root.

-Try Greenify to auto-hibernate apps that are battery-hogs like messenger or chrome and enable agressive doze + motion

-maybe Gservicefix for less Google Play Services drain

- restrict background data of Google Play Services

see what that does :')
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saurabh808:
huge battery drain from google play services and email app:(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
In stock is not possible to restrict background to Google services.

And in stock is possible to stop the drain in wifi.

If i leave wifi on during the night that is rare, but in 8h only drain max 4%,

Android System is not a big problem because in standby don't drain.

Google services are a big problem but if we forget everything from Google the drain is less.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
try:

location to powersave

disable -> re-enable google play services from appsettings

both apps seem to display a huge mobile radio active time, i have no idea if this helps but try 'mobile radioactive fix' -xposed module
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saurabh808:
cant disable or force stop the app its not highlighted in the app settings i did disabled all the permissions to the app so sometimes it consumes more battery sometimes it does not

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Damm this.

I bought a Samsung J3 with a voucher i had , a phone that costs 160€

I know its not comparable with my s7 edge , but the sot in 4G is now the same as my s7 edge.

And low android system and OS

Same apps same settings.

Never thought that could last so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Less CPU power, screen Res, ....

So it consumes less power so it can last Longer...but batteries are smaller

Still very Nice though :')
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Like i said we can't compare.

But is less 1000mAh battery.

Its a lot.

Its the bloat and software that kills the s7 edge

Yes it's a shame... Imagine what it could be
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Not that happy with my results but yeah :P

4g on all the time...some wifi

2h SoT with 37 battery left

Some screens and bbs dump if you can use that :)

Maybe i just expect too much from these phones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Maybe you are right.

I had read that moto Z play is the King of battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Yes ive read that too, i think Samsung doesnt optimise their devices enough and we can tweak what we want but it will never be as great

I would want my phone to last 2 days, but maybe we should be happy if we make it home with average/heavy usage
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Well when i had s6 i had to turn off 4G to get home and do 4h sot.

This has more 1000mAh but maybe in real usage is more around 40% more.

Average i do 4h sot until 40% battery

With normal usage, but with heavy full brightness at the sun 4G and and social apps 5h sot is dead one day arrived home with 5%.

This if i don't work.

But could be better.

I know at home with wifi normal usage the does easily 9h sot.

It a shame i don't have moto z in nearby stores or i will give it a try.

And i will not upgrade to the note 7..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
I get home with about 40-50? with about 2h SoT :P

That are still some nice stats though

But i guess it will take a few more years for batterylife and performance to be balanced out in a great device... XD

I wont be upgrading soon either
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iamnotkurtcobain:
It's NOT the Bloat.

It's something deep down :/

I uninstalled all Bloat and Samsung stuff and this is my result lol. It's so so bad. If the Nougat Firmware isn't better I'll buy a HTC 10.

Only 2h55m screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
In wifi that is 2.55 is not that bad but until 45% usually do 4h to 5h sot .

with amplify and greenify set up + bloat disabled, i tend to have worse batterylife

now i run supermanrom with only AppOpsXposed to deny Google Play Services + Google location, and disabled some apps that keep my phone awake.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] magikmichael:
Getting my s7 edge next week as a replacement for my dead Note 4. It was beyond repair so samsung gave me the option to swap it for an S7edge.

Is it wise to update it to newest firmware? Or is it better to wait for a new update and just use firmware that it comes with out of the box? Dont want that battery drain some people are talking about on the last pages. Will certainly use package disabler to get rid of the bloat.

You can use it, but will not see any improvement. It only mess with the system and you will lose standby.

I advise ACP8 XSA its a clean CSC and you can disable a lot from main settings.

I already try in the beginning package disabler or EZ disabler in all possible ways , and don't advice it.

But you can try it , set your phone disable what system let you , leave it a couple of days and then try package disabler and let me know.
