T-mobile not so Evil Snapdragon with latest firmware update.

I'm a moderate user getting 5.5 - 6Hr SOT spread within 2.5 days then recharge at 20% or so.
I'm more then happy with but wanted to take it step further , Last night I decided Netflix time making it 1/4 way through episode 7 of Breaking Bad

My setup,
:Screen Brightness 80%
:LTE-VOLTE enabled
:Weather Underground 2 hour refresh.
:Rain Alarm Pro - Auto refresh
:Gmail Push active.
:Samsung Pay:

Screen shot Graph info 1 Day-14 Hour use summery.
4/9 100% off charger device slept overnight 12 hours 3% loss to start day 4/10.
4/10 stared with normal use - Emails , Texting , Twitter , Milk Music , Internet , Samsung pay use , blah blah blah.
Late day 72% 1.5 Hr SOT had been racked up & it was Netflix time
App played through evening then device sleep at 33%
4/11 wake-up 2% loss during 8 hr sleep & it was Netflix time once again.
Device ran so cool very little heat generated good stuff.

If I was daily power user 8Hr + SOT very possible on T version with latest firmware

How did you only lose 3% of battery life overnight, especially over 12 hours. Also how are your Android OS and Android System so low?

How? Well that's what latest T-mobile firmware update provided.
Before update performance was good I had no complaints, after update it's even better much lower Android System numbers....heck Playstore numbers are sometime higher then Android System on my device by a couple %. Just depends how device is played.
T-mobile update was game changer major performance boost on many levels.
Hopefully other carries will follow soon

Dang..I wish at&t would do the same update for us.

I have not used my phone much today and it is at 14% battery. 2hrs SOT and android system is leading with 41% used and android OS is at 20%. Screen is 3rd coming in at 8%. Not impressed so far as my old iPhone 5C did better even after 2.5 years of usage.

I also have the T-Mobile variant of the S7 Edge and this my battery life overnight for 6 hours. It started from 95% (or 93%) and ended with 87% also I had power saving mode on and do not disturb.

Why some Tmobile users are having high Android System numbers - drain is beyond me. Maybe Firmware update didn't take well , rouge app playing havoc , settings such as wifi always scanning enabled , not fully optimized , battery not having strong charge , maybe maybe maybe.
Tons tmobile xda postings getting same results as mine After latest update so those not getting positive make some changes starting with factory reset & 3 days of use full charge cycles . If that doesn't fix replace device.

My setup,
:Screen Brightness 80%
:LTE-VOLTE enabled
:Weather Underground 2 hour refresh.
:Rain Alarm Pro - Auto refresh
:Gmail Push active.
:Samsung Pay:
Im using Package Disabler Pro App for KNOX , Software Update , VR Gear , Games , Chrome , Facebook & Samsung ThemeStore.
I have No power save mode or do not disturb mode enabled.

Took off charger yesterday 100%.
Received 1 call little over 2 min talk time.
3 email alert checked those.
Device sleeps at 98%
Wake up device at 94%

15Hr 38Min battery usage numbers

Currently at 20 hours and 30 minutes on battery and 5 hours and 55 minutes of screen on time, at 1%. AT&T Snapdragon. This is all with pretty damn heavy use...I'm always buried in my phone. All this involved setting up the bluetooth to Ford SYNC in my car and playing some music, lots of youtube viewing, lots of facebook/twitter, texting, bluetooth file transfers, very minimal wifi use, auto brightness, email syncs set to 2 hours for two accounts, lots of setting tweekings and exploring the phone (I've only had it for about a week now), lots of Tinder and Tinder messages, tons of web browsing, taking pictures. I was initially concerned about this phone's battery life...but it turns out I was just having anxiety every time it got down to 60%, thinking it would die in a couple hours. The battery life doesn't suddenly drop off after hitting 50% like my 3 year old phone did. Overall, I'd really recommend this phone. A less intensive user could probably get even more SOT and battery life. Screenshots to follow... (phone just died as I was typing this on a desktop lol)

Edit: Screenshots (I ended up with 5 hours and 55 minutes, but didn't get a screenshot before it died)

Not bad but will get much better after ATT releases firmware update that addresses Android System use.....hopefully it comes soon for you guys.
That number will be much less then Screen on time etc = big battery life savings.

Adding:
It hurts my eyes , nails on chalk board seeing screen shots with 1% battery remaining.
That my friend is battery abuse lol

This is the first time I've actually let the phone die. I don't plan on doing it but maybe a few times a year as I hear this helps calibrate the battery. I've read to keep it north of 50% as much as you can, which is what I usually do. Just wanted to get a benchmark.

Right on I get it just had to make comment lol
I'm a moderate user usually charging before 15% mark , My post on page 1 in this thread was tuff letting battery hit 8% for test.
As far as your future collaboration plans , it does more harm then good to lithium ion batteries in are device.
After your first couple full charge cycles battery is gold no worries .
