Is there any way to turn off the WiFi constantly scanning once connected to a WiFi network? This must be a huge battery hog but it's the first phone I've had that doesn't seem to have the 'Advanced' WiFi settings menu.

Wi-Fi scanning is within improve accuracy part of location settings

what baseband version are you running? if it ends with APD3 or under you have the battery drain bug
Mine ends with APD2. How do I fix it ?

just going to have to wait like me until samsung or your carrier pushes out an update. carriers have been pushing out may security patches which should also fix the battery bug
That's pretty bad. I have autosync, Edge features on, almost always on WiFi or 4G internet, and I average like 5-8% per hour. Standby time is amazing. 10-12% an hour is what I get when playing games.I keep hearing mixed reviews about battery life. I have the s7 Edge and I get decent battery life. It's usually about a 10% drain per hour maybe even more. That's with almost all features shut off (Always on display, Edge features, auto~snyc, location services, screen about 50%,). Not sure if this is normal or not. What do you all think ?

I charged it to 100% before going to bed. Cleared all apps before going to bed out of the multitasking tray and it had 15min of SOT. nearly 8 hours later this is what I got! This is, honestly, pretty bad. I expect more ...
I have a Verizon edge with the may security patch and still running apd2. I think my battery life has been worse since the update.
I thought the drain issue was introduced in APD3, and not before it? I think we've had conflicting (or at least confusing) info here in this thread. Is it an issue only in APD3 or in any baseband version up to and including APD3?
I was thinking Verizon (the most recent carrier to update) may have used APD2, despite also using the latest May security update, due to this issue.
As of now, after a few days, I haven't noticed any big drain issue. In fact, I think my battery life has been better since the update. We'll see how it goes as more time passes.
By the way, in reply to another message above, I have Samsung Push Service disabled via EZ Package Disabler.
