I cannot understand how you all are getting 4+ SOT. I have had the phone for a week now. It is very consistent, I get somewhere between 2.5 to 3 hours SOT with 20% remaining at the end of day. I am at least an hour off from you all. I have turned off WiFi Scanning, disabled some of the ATT bloat. Not using any power mgmt. profile yet.
Any suggestion are very welcomed
Signal is huge, HUGE!I've been monitoring my SOT on different phones for months now... and it seems to me that signal is one of the largest influencers of how much you can squeeze out of your phone on a daily basis. I get much better SOTs when I'm at home vs work because my signal at home is wifi. Work's Verizon signal is OK, but not as easy on the phone's battery than home wifi.

Well based on what I am seeing you went 2 days and some but only 3.75 SOT. What that tells me is that you're using phone as you say but only looking at it occasionally.
I consider myself a heavy user and I don't play games listen to music watch movies or videos either. I am almost exactly like you.
I can get 4.5 sometimes 5 hours of SOT (I do a lot of email and texting) within a 11-12 hour period of time.
To me that's excellent considering what I am doing with it daily.
Guys, if signal is so huge, and I believe it is, can someone tell me if I will have less battery time because I use a dual sim note 7 and I have two sim looking for signal instead of 1 at all time? Or it won't affect it ?
I can't answer that for sure. Let me check.Depends on the time. I move around a lot. But basically my question is, if I'm in a basement where every carrier has bad signal, will I waste more battery cause I have two sims looking for signal, or is my phone wasting just the same amount of energy has if I simply had one sim in the phone ??
Yeah it could drain more, but no one seems to think it would drain twice as much, like it was an individual phone.Depends on the time. I move around a lot.

Lol you are exactly right. My phone is a communications device. Not a gameboy. I use my phone for what it was intended.
Everything else, I have Xbox 1.
Like others have said, do you have bad signal in your area? Bad signal kills battery hard.
Depending on where I am in the house, it goes from 3 bars to 4. So not too bad. So for today I have 68% left. Took off charger at 7:00am (7.5 on battery) with 1hr of SOT. Does that sound right to you?
Thanks erasat...great examples. during that one hour of SOT, it was FB, Outlook, installed two apps, read Comcast email, news..etc. You are spot on regarding comparison to other phones. I am coming from a IPhone 6s and that was better on battery in my house. I expect some of that...but it seems to be about 20% off on the Note 7. Now, I have not tried any of the power profiles yet. Maybe I try that next.
Thanks for the tips. Can you tell us what's good way to remove the bloatware?Begin by Uninstalling or disable Bloatware and all default apps you won't ever use. Go to Accounts and look under the Google accounts and check that you are just syncing the services or apps you use and not the tons that are on by default.
Adjust brightness on this screens you don't need your brightness at 80-100 in most cases, it's not the same to go over 1040 nits on the 5.7" quad HD Note screen than less than 600 on the iPhone on their 5.5" 1080p screens.
Adjust your Location services, Google location services is onby default and it pings your location ALL the time. Chances are the you coming from iPhone will never use or need that feature, I know I don't.

I tried this, but it shows me such a long list of things that I'm afraid I might disable some essential or vital features of my phone....the list is way too long!Package disabler pro
