Save yourself a lot of grief and do a full reset of your phone. I was SEVERELY disappointed with my phone's (S6 Edge 128 GB) battery life during the first 4 days of owning it. I changed every setting I could. I wiped various caches and blew a lot of time.
No matter what I did, I couldn't get the phone to estimate that I would have more than 12 hours of battery life left after a complete charge. If I left it off the charger at night, it would lose most of the battery during the night with no use at all.
I reset my phone last night. It was at 74% battery when I went to sleep (shortly after resetting and not restoring any settings or app...talking virgin phone setup here) and it was at 73% when I woke up this morning almost 8 hours later. That is my kind of battery life. I'm doing a charge of it now to see how it lasts during the day with normal use. I will say that the phone isn't get hot like it was during the prior days while it is charging.
I'll come back and post my results to this thread over the next couple of days to update you on how the battery is doing. I'll start slowly adding in my various apps to see if a particular app caused the grief.
Yes, I did the Samsung Push app update yesterday afternoon to see if that would help. It didn't appear to help in my case as the phone would be a percent or two down every time I looked at it.
Here's to a better battery experience!
