That's a good point. I don't see location services on my AT&T S7 but the settings app shows the same percentage. So what can we do?
hmm I have no clue.ok..so someone riddle me this.. I have mine showing in the 30% also.. so how come when I went to bed I had a 19% charge.. with the night clock on I wake up 7 hours later and I have a 19% charge? how how how.. I'm happy but how....
I'm 2 days-11 hours on battery with 40% remaining 2hr 46min SOT.
No handy capping my device needed with 80% screen brightness.
S7 is blowing away my Note 4 performance.

the plateaus are device sleeping lol. Thats a good thing every Android user seeks.What causes these long plateaus (see pic in post #138)? Whatever is causing them is the reason you are getting long battery life. Remove those and you have the same slope as me.

On my Power user days that consist of 12 hours I get over 5.5 hours of SOT with over 3 hours of milk music pay.

All info you seek can be found in my posting on Page 4 of this thread. I went into good detail on what I have going on.How are you getting it to deep sleep? Just but freezing the 2 Knox apps? Are you using Greenify or some other app?
Also, what aren't people freezing the third knox (status) app? Does it trip knox?
I've been experiencing similar battery issues. It was great after the first four or five days, but now it's just taken a dive. I turn it on the in the morning, and 30 minutes later (of using it, screen on) I've lost 10%. It's like I watch that number dip further and further down. I have gone into apps and disabled ones that I don't care for or need, and set other apps to sync either daily or manually. I always have wi-fi on, and while I'm careful with battery life I don't go disabling tons of apps just to save a few hours of battery. It just concerns me how much the phone seems to be using, and how quickly the battery drain has begun not even a week after I first got it. I feel it should be a slow trickle of battery, not a random avalanche.
I also don't think that you should be required to purchase a separate app program to disable apps to get good battery life. You can start disabling so many apps and features you're left with half a phone. Instead, there should be better tools to help you understand and manage the battery, not just say "Android System." It's frustrating how different an experience 3-4 days makes
I agree with this. I noticed that if I login to the 2.4 ghz network battery life is better than the 5 ghz network on my AC routerIn my case, it's definitely Wi-Fi AC connection that is causing the battery drain. If I connect to 802.11n router, battery is OK.
but If I connect to my 802.11ac AC2600 router at home, S7 CPU usage suddenly go up and cause big battery drain problem. I also noticed that web browsing on my S7 (with 433Mbps AC signal) is slower than my old S4 (with 150mbps N signal)
I don't know if it's my router issue or S7 issue.
What service provider do you have? Also have you thought about doing a factory reset to completely wipe the phone.
You can also trying wiping cache instead of a full wipe. Do you have GPS turned on? In settings I make sure I turn off any AUTO update features along with the smart controls. That seems to help a lot. Yesterday I got about 5 hours of on screen time and a full day and half of battery life. Which to me is pretty good. There is no way that would have happened on my S6 edge
By the way, it looks like a ton of people posting here leave their phones on and unplugged overnight - what is the reason for this? I was fairly certain that Li-ion batteries do not suffer memory effects, and the lifetime is a function of total discharge and charge cycles (i.e. 2x charging from 50% to 100% has same impact as 1x charging 0 to 100%). The "conditioning" that people used to recommend did not do anything to the battery itself, it was more of a calibration for the battery controller so that it would correctly recognize the zero point and 100%.
