This is just absurd. Battery just keeps getting worse.

This is on the U software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sumnerm1:
Try the Op's method! I did it step by step yesterday. I would of had about 30% battery after 10 hours of light use. Today I had 81% left after 10 hours of light use. This is the ONLY battery saving step I have taken. No dimmed display, no power saving, or anything of the ilk. Definitely a must do!

It's the firmware from the international variant. No att software on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sumnerm1:
My best guess, and only a guess, is that the International software is set up for Exynos chipset. The ATT software has the Qualcomm chipset, with the services mentioned in the OP. I would bet that's why you don't see the OP's mentioned services.

Unfortunately, there is not one "magic" fix that is going to solve this for everybody. This did reduce my Android System usage but it's still about 12-13% for me. Now I just need to get Google Services under control since that's always about 15-20% on mine.

Odd that you have CarrierIQ, the newest AT&T rom doesn't have CarrierIQ
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] marcusva79:
Damn this is terrible. Don't know what's up this

Edit: started from scratch again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] deV14nt:
Not necessary for the U firmware. That would be a good disclaimer for the OP. Oh, well I guess now I own 2 different package disablers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] internetcommand:
I'm also on the U firmware. I tried downloading the EZ whatever package disabler, but when I try to launch it, it hangs on "activating app license", and then says it failed. A possible reason apparently is having Knox disabled, and since I currently have Xposed off and have disabled/removed a lot of packages using Ccleaner that seems like a possible way.

What package disabler are you using on the U firmware? Is there one in the system or xposed?

Edit: Using CCleaner (free app from the Play Store, but requires root to remove/disable packages/services) I'm able to disable com.qualcomm.atfwd, but can't find IQ service. There's "IntelligenceService2" by a com.samsung, but nothing by com.carrieriq (so not the same thing, and not sure if it does something similar).

I'm not too worried about this but if anyone has more details on alternative package disablers or what that service is I'd appreciate it. Or if someone figures out how to disable iqservice from ccleaner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] deV14nt:
CarrierIQ is apparently added by each carrier, or at the request of them. U firmware doesn't have it. I don't particularly recommend any one package disabler. I think I have EZ Package Disabler and Package Disabler Pro. No idea which is better. I guess this EZ one if you need to disable components of Android System.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] twoxa:

I'm on stock AT&T firmware (with the latest update from today) and I do not have carrier IQ. I disabled the other one you mentioned (atfwd) so I'll see what happens. I have a ton of bloatware disabled anyway using Package Disabler Pro and battery life hasn't really been an issue for me. I can usually go two days or more before having to charge again (even synced to a Gear S2). I unplugged my phone around 645 this morning and by 1845 (12 hours later) I was around 60% battery.

Flashed the G935U (Build: MMB29M.G935UUEU4API3) firmware last night on the G935A, then flashed the T mobile modem (Baseband: G935TUVU4APIA) afterwards.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/odin-apk1-tmobile-tmbg935ttmb4apk1-t3494724/page12

I have better coverage then when I was using the ATT modem

I don't have screen shots of before and after didn't think of it but I did get an increase of 2 bars of signal in my room which I would usually vary only 1-2 bars. Everywhere else I get 4-5 bars as where I was getting 3-4. Overall I have enjoyed the service I've been getting since I flashed the T-Mobile modem.

You have to use Odin to flash it, the thread that's linked includes the instructions. You may need Odin version 3.10, that's the one I used at least because anything newer than that version wouldn't flash the modem. Be sure you're using CP, double check with the thread but I'm positive you'll be flashing it with the CP option in Odin. Should be unzipped and a .bin file.

Of course the modem I got was from October so the thread above is the latest or at least I believe. Any updated modems you need to find either from a stock OTA T-Mobile firmware update or it'll get uploaded individually in a thread eventually.

Happy flashing and a great holiday.

There is one more think to all of this to extend battery live. In settings find location click on improve accuracy and if you have WiFi and Bluetooth scanning on just turn off and restart phone. I get on standby improvment from 2-3% per hour to 1-2% per hour.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] radoo7701:
In my experience, it's best to disable as many apps as you can thru Application Manager, then use the disabler for those pesky few that are left. It seems to drain battery more if you disable too many apps with disabler.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jgruberman:

EZ Disabler also allows you to disable the carrier.IQ package under android system which is part of the drain problem. I couldn't figure out how to do that with Package Disabler. I haven't looked back after switching.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] FeintDoxx:
Main reason why I checked back onto this thread, was on the U PI3 firmware so carrier.IQ wasn't installed but then I updated to the ATT N Beta and thought of checking, disabled everything that was mentioned in this thread. Will post battery stats later.

Package pro disabler works but as we all know you can't get into the android system running apps.
