Thanks, jrwingate6! Great comeback! Though too bad Caps still lost last night... by a single point!

Not sure if there's any difference from TMo, nonetheless: Settings - Lock Screen and Security - Other Security Settings - Turn off Send Security Reports.

Well, I can't suggest anything else - I'm using Yandex Navigator which is perfect... if you live in Russia or CIS. But I guess you don't =)

Garmin Viago is decent for navigation, but it's not free. Viago can also work using downloaded map data (~2Gb for north America) so function completely off-net as well.

I haven't tried street nav with it, but I think Locus Pro can do that also. Locus has a free version but I don't know the extent of it's street-mapping and navigation capabilities.

Typical Caps game. They don't start pressing until the 3rd period. Last night's play was just so sloppy as well.

They better start playing some offense in the first half of the game if they expect to do anything in the post season.

Would you please be able to post this when you have a free moment? Thanks so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Sorry. I forgot all about that.

Right now my battery is at 55% after 3 hours of gaming and roughly 1 hours of Facebook/Web Browsing. It's only been off the charger for 10 hours. I didn't have to work today so I wasted it away playing mobile games. LOL.

Anyway, here is my mAh usage so far for Android System (224) and Android OS (130).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
Thanks very much. It was actually also the keep awake / stay awake for each of those (in hours and minutes) that I was looking for as well, please. Here's a pic I found just to show what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Stay awake for Android system is 42 minutes and stay awake for Android OS is 4 seconds.

So I went into each app and under data, on the bottom is a toggle for background data. I toggled this off on all the apps I did not want it on. Don't forget to do your disabled apps just in case. I found a large gain in my battery life by doing this. Yes you can limit all background data, but I didn't want to loose the services I do use.<br />

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
thank you. mine is clearly messed up then, as I suspected.

[MENTION=242947]chakra[/MENTION] - good advice, I'm going to do that. Although I suspect there are some Google / system apps that I should leave data enabled for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darkmetal:
I'll try that.. My battery life is still only get 22 hours I feel I should be getting alot more. I'll see if disabling background data helps. Really wish Verizon or Samsung would not mess up their ota updates...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
So I've done everything in jrwingate6's post and followed some other relevant and very helpful advice in this thread and I'm now seeing 4-5% drain overnight (8 hours). The phone is still stock though, without any apps installed yet. However, it dropped 8% over 40 minutes of screen use (setting up ringtones, various other settings, disabling apps in app manager etc). That is just far too high. Any ideas? Also seems to run hot

Edit: Samsung Push Service is also very high on battery use. Does anyone know what this service is used for?

Edit 2: Forgot to mention 1 very important point. My WiFi was causing the drain, as it is for many others. I was connected to my 5GHz network, so instead I connected to my regular network and the drain is, thus far, gone. Very odd.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Give your phone a few days to settle in. The battery life should improve over the next week if you just did a Factory reset.

Also, if you don't mind can you upload a bunch of screenshots from the built in battery settings and GSAM. It will give us a better idea of what's going on.

Also what mobile service provider is your phone through?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
thanks for the advice. I will do just that. I would have already done it but don't want to go on a massive app installing spree and trigger the bad battery life again. I'll definitely post the screenshots in due course.

I am currently using the UK network '3'.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jhannbernas:
Hi All,

Need your suggestions regarding the screen usage. I'm having a high percentage for Screen on my battery usage. I wonder what guys do you use as the screen mode of your devices. I'm currently using the Adaptive display. I'm not sure if the high usage is because of this mode or my device is just new and i'm still setting up things on my device. It's just my 3 days having the S7 edge.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] JLintheTL619:
Restricting background data seems to be the fix for me. The phone can actually go into deep sleep and doze finally! Android system has dropped below 20% for the first time and I'm getting 1.5-2% drain at work with terrible reception. It was averaging 7-8% before this. I'm using Green if you but no package disabled FWIW
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
I have found that most apps don't have this option. In fact hardly any of mine do. Did you have that toggle available for all apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] C0derbear:
Settings -> Battery -> More -> Optimize battery usage

This gives you some control over how individual apps are treated, regardless of their settings available via their specific 'info' from the app mgr.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SEVENEDGE:
Did you opt to optimize them all?

ONYX VZ S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] C0derbear:
The OS will typically automatically optimize them based upon your usage of the apps, without any individual intervention.

In my case most apps ended up optimized by the OS. I turned one off to see if that made a difference overall and in my use (Garmin Connect - as a I have Garmin Fenix 3 watch which uses some data exchange to update a couple widgets - like Weather). Too early to tell of changing the setting for Connect makes a difference on the battery consumption that I care about.

There are also a few apps that will never be 'optimized' but none of the 4 seem a problem to me at this time ( Google Play services, Messages Backup & Sync, Visual Voicemail, and Samsung Push Service ). The middle two are from AT&T. I could disable the Messages process with Package Disabler but haven't bothered. I use the Visual Voicemail so that's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
Thanks!

This seems to be different to disabling background data though. This is more akin to dozing. Is there a separate section to disable background data by app?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] guaneet:
Settings >application manager > then click on app XYZ> data usage > scroll down and restrict back ground data. You'll have to go through individual apps and this whole process.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ookubanjo:
[MENTION=5266494]guaneet[/MENTION] Thanks, that's what I was using but most apps don't seem to have the option to restrict background data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] guaneet:
Weird all my user apps have it. Are you looking for system apps? If so click on more and click show system apps and you'll get a bunch more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] C0derbear:
According to the verbiage on the phone the 'app optimization' at least partially deals with restricting background data usage of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] darkmetal:
Any updates when Verizon will get the same update t-mobile pushed out?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chakra:
No not all apps let you turn it off, but some system apps do also (along with most user apps ). You can spend hours going through every app, but make sure you write down what system apps you mess with, most system apps can't be changed but a few can.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gainstatom:
I feel like my phone got a litttle laggier ever since i factory resetted. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] C0derbear:
I'd give it a few days for the internal 'optimizations' to settle out, but if it persists then no I'd think not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] raidflex:
I am wondering the same thing, but usually Verizon is last to receive the updates from my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hp79:
Add to the list of things to try, for verizon version do not update the samsung push services from the playstore (april 13, 2016). That will drain your battery in double speed. I had this uodated and the battery didn't even last 20 hours with 2.5 SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aexp08:
Has there been any news from samsung on this issue? I mean they were boasting that it would jave amazing battery life, being able to watch a whole seasons of game of throne on one charge. **** I cant even make it through a few hours of just internet browsing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Can you post some up to date screen shots from the GSAM app? Give us one shot of the main GSAM screen and then give us a shot of the application's screen. Also do some screenshots from the built in battery system settings. We will figure it out. I started out with horrible battery life but I've been enjoying close to 8 hours SOT and 34 hours off charger.

ONYX VZ S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Also, everyone needs to realize that the app list doesn't always show the full picture. When we all talk about (Rogue Apps) or apps that are causing battery drain, they always won't show up as using a lot of battery when looking at the percentages. Sometimes the app can trigger processes and or services within the "Android System" thus causing higher than normal "Android System" drain.

Those of you who are getting bad battery life need to enable the Developer options if you haven't already. Then look at the running "processes and services". Post a screen shot of all the running processes on your phone and we can get a better idea of what's draining your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] vikramdhani:
Is there a way I can find it which apps are using the more battery because seems like something is draining the battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] optimummind:
For me, the best fix for bad battery has been to change location from GPS only to WiFi & mobile network. If I go back to GPS only, my phone stops dozing & doesn't enter deep sleep correctly. This began to happen after Sprint's shoddy pc5 update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mjs2011:
Have you seen any decrease in location accuracy doing this? I do use maps a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] optimummind:
Of course. But I don't use maps a lot. If I did, I would probably just use Tasker to toggle between the 2 location states. Since I use maps so infrequently, I just manually change to GPS only as needed.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ssgunner20:
Ok so read the thread and i too noticed a bit of drain. Did some of the tjings recommended **** turning off diagnostics google and sammy and also tmo. I also adjusted my email frequency as i have 3 accounts it was currently set at every 15 mins. Changed that to every 6 hrs i think. I do use google app for viice commands and loc. Just dropped 4% from full charge. 30 mins of battery only and was still at 100. So the other 30 mins of sot is what dropped my 4%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Do you have a package disabler? If so, I would remove the T-Mobile app package.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bluemu:
Thank you for this suggestion. I did this before and didn't notice any difference in battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kafreeman:
I did a factory reset a couple days ago due to excessive battery drain.

Still had the drain after reset, turned off Bluetooth and now all is well.

I would love to know why Bluetooth went nuts and drained the battery.

Held awake time was about 90% of the up time.

Anyway.... followed the directions in the first post and it seems OK with Bluetooth off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Yea. That looks good. 2 days and almost 5 hours of SOT. I would imagine that would translate into 1 day and almost 7 hours of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ranova:
thats the complete opposite of my situation. When I have GPS, mobile, and Wifi location set, i get NONSTOP nlpcollectorwakelock wakelocks. (you can check wakelocks without root now). In a 16 hour day, Google Play Services (where NLP wakelocks fall under) kept my phone awake for over 4 hours.

I turned it to Device/GPS only last night and today, my Google Play services is no longer top wakelock contributor. Since off the charger 8 hours ago, Google Play Services has only been awake 2 minutes and none from nlpcollectorwakelock within it

I will take a screenshot tonight of the final wakelock times and re-enable GPS/Mobile/Wifi location for tomorrow and test again.

I remember trying to deal with NLP* wakelocks a few years ago before switching to the iPhone 6/6S. How has google not figured out this issue yet? A reported fix that doesnt cripple your location services on your phone/google but requires root. Google, we don't need constant location updates

Hi guys, after last update I have a battery drain cause by Android System, but I don't know what exactly is the cause. Before the update I didn't have any problems, I did easily more than 6 and half hour sot or more than 2days of usage.

Now that we can use Wakelock Detector without root, I found my problem. It is imsservice. I figured it would be because of WiFi calling, which I don't use. Can't disable it because Package Disabler Pro is gone from the Play Store, again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themissionimpossible:
There is currently a great mess about the Package Disabler apps, there are more than one developer claiming to be the original author...

Anyway, the "original"(?) app from Ospolice, that had more than 100,000 downloads, is not currently available on the Google Play.

But I myself am using it from the very first day I bought the S7E and it works perfectly without any issue.

Now on the Google Play there is probably the same app published under a new developer name:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium

I share an idea: could be Smart Stay the problem? How many users here are using it?

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themissionimpossible:
The "original" app was titled "Package "Disabler Pro" (where for me the terms "original" means the same app previously available on the Google Play by Ospolice) while that one is titled "Samsung Package Disabler" in the app and inconsistently "Package Disabler Samsung +" on the Google Play...

Its interface and price are also different.

The new and exact one should be the one I linked before:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium

which has the same identical name, user interface and even same youtube video, and the new developer name "policedeveloper" recalls the previous "Ospolice" name.

Also the price is exactly the same as before.

Clearly I don't wish to investigate here about who was actually the true "original" author of the code used for these disabler apps because it's out of the scope of this thread...;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
As far as I read until now, you can't know exactly unless rooted. But from those rooted, they noticed that the process was system_server (which is actually another collection of modules, so you can't really know which one of those modules causes the issue).

I don't use this feature, and I had this problem with the APD1 update. APC8 does not have this problem (on Exynos) so I downgraded.

Here is how I view this issue: Samsung cannot really fix this problem. The problem was present in the SD820 variants since day one, because that's how the phone should actually work. There is some service (probably related to phone radios/baseband - I have some reasons to believe this) that needs a lot of battery to work correctly. But on the Exynos, they left out or disabled that crucial service at first in order to look good in most of the reviews (which are done by non-US sites like GSMArena). Then they activated the service in Exynos too since the purpose was achieved. Hopefully this is just a speculation :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] turtuv:
Mhh.. Could be, but in this case all users must experience this drain, instead some users has zero Android System drain. How come? Just for info: in Korea was released a new update, maybe it will solve this issue.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
I can bet that all SD820 users have the drain of at least 12-15%, and after APD1 all Exynos users have the drain issue.

The new APD5 update may or may not solve the issue, but I am leaning towards the fact that it is a "by-design" issue which will not be solved anytime soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] turtuv:
I have Exynos and I always have more than 25% of Android System after last update.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Well, exactly what I was saying :) That number can go a bit down if you use other CPU-consuming things like the Internet browser, but it it's clear that they enabled something in the last update that was always present for the SD820 users, and only now has been "enabled" for the Exynos.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Juuls:
Nothing changed for me on my Exynos since the last update, your hypothesis on 'something being enabled now' is a bit far fetched in my opinion. What I do find plausible is the hypothesis that the SD820 has been tuned down making the Exynos look better. But again, nobody has a shred op proof.
