I came from a Note 4 and I am in shock at how quick the S7 Edge battery goes..
Guys, I don't know how you are getting these ridiculous SoT's! I am getting close to 3hrs and 30 mins most days but no where near 5 or 6. I'm on Verizon and I just don't feel it comes close to others. I have had it off the charger since 8am and have had screen on for 15 mins and am already down to 89%, something doesn't seem right. I have GSAM battery and looking now shows phone has been kept awake, but hard to tell from what. I use Always on Display and i guess that prevents phone from using DOZE. All you people who have bluetooth on how come it doesn't even show in your battery list, mine does and is near the top when i'm not even connected to anything. I just don't believe people who are getting 5-7 hrs of SoT what carrier and are you really using your phone?
Is Doze a setting you have to turn on?
Stupid design. I (not Google, and not an app developer) should be able to decide what apps I want to be priority. Just because my phone is sitting still on my desk doesn't mean I don't want to get notified of an email, for example. Or the reverse. Just because Google decides gmail is a priority app doesn't mean I think it is.

It's new... N is going to bring in a bunch of enhancements to the feature. But they got to start somewhere.
And GMail uses GCM, so emails will get pushed through Doze and you'll be notified if need be.
I don't know if I should be happy or sad that I am getting the same battery life out of the S7 Edge as I was with the Droid Turbo.
agreed. I was expecting stellar battery life but today only squeezed out 3 1/2 hours. System and OS took over 46%, and I was on my phone often, not leaving it on idle.... pretty concerning honestly...
i found the culprit! KNOX! took up 26% of my battery! go to application manager and go into the application info of knox, it will say how much of the battery it killed and if you press that part it will take you to android system.... bloat was is a beast....
You could always use chrome for Facebook.... the app can be a PITA. LOL
