Just giving an update, after disabling wifi during sleep, a few more bloat apps, and always on display i only lost 4% battery last night during sleep. Wayyy better than the 16% I was getting before the tweaks.
Yeah, got mine down to 1/2 % per hour too. That was what I was getting with the S6.
I just used Samsung Pay an hour ago with Knox disabled by Package Disabler Pro. Works flawlessly still (and I even got the $30 gift card notification) .
You sure knox is disabled? Click on knox in Package disabler and see if it has running = Yes. I bet it does.
the exynos doesnt have the battery drain issue. the issue has something to do with snapdragon... hopefully they pusha update that fixes whatever optimization snapdragon left out. th android system should never ever take up more battery than the screen. notice on the exynos versions android system is taking its usual 4-8% on snapdragons its taking 26-34%
A good part, near 1/2, of the android system is graphics processing when you are using the phone
Disabling about all of the same bloat with package disabler pro, and disabling location services, I get the same idle drain of 1/2 % per hour as on the S6. And of this 1/2 % per hour an hour, over 15% is android system. I am OK with that.
Part of this can be the carrier bloat in the US (snapdragon) and not snapdragon vs exynos. On the S6 I found my-tmobile to cause a lot of drain (though it isn't present on the S7).
