GSM is pretty worthless after Android 7 update. It can't differentiate as to what apps are causing drain anymore and just lumps everything under Combined App CPU. I ended up uninstalling it because of this.

Finally bit the bullet and factory reset last night. Current battery stats for today are below, note I have been messing around a lot with my phone today trying to get it setup correctly following the factory reset. Also note how Android System drain has gone from 36% to 6%!!:

2 weeks ago (as I said, without changing anything at all) it started burning about 7%/hour in idle state. When I go to battery usage details, it shows Android System with high %. When I get to the details of Android, it shows "keep awake" with about the same time the phone has been unplugged from the charger. It looks like my phone doesn't go to sleep at all.
Thank you H8FKAndroid, it looks like i'm stuck with this for now. This is a company sponsored device
Try clearing the system cache.Thank you H8FKAndroid, it looks like i'm stuck with this for now. This is a company sponsored device, I can't change some settings, one of them is the "USB debugging" and as such I can't run Gsam or Systempanel2 at their fullest capabilities. I can't root the device either.
I will keep an eye at this conversation to see if someone will be able to com up with the solution, then maybe I will be able to apply it to LG as well.

Honestly it would be better to ask LG users because LG's Android is different from Samsung's Android. They add different things which may cause your problems. On Samsungs the problem seems to be tied to Android System, whereas your problems come from somewhere else. So it would seem that it's not an Android problem but an LG problem. Without experience or access with a Nougat LG device, there's no way for most Samsung members to try and look at your case. Especially with the restriction where we can't properly see battery stats.This screenshot was taken about 1 hour after I unplugged it. After few hours it gets to 40%+.
Even if I complain and they give me a new phone, if the problem is with the OS, it will show up again, I suspect.
Well, surprisingly this morning my phone decided to go back to what it was before (at least so far, hopefully I'm not speaking too soon). With almost 2 hours of very light use, about 20 minutes with screen on, checked and replied few emails and few whatsapp messages, see how battery is holding on. I did NOT change anything, I only installed Systempanel2 to try to understand better what was killing the battery, yesterday the phone was still very hungry, so it cannot be that the Systempanel2 helped in anyway.
Fingers crossed it will stat this way. Usually by now, almost 2 hours after I unplugged it from the charger, at least 10% would have gone for sure.
