AC Question

In the past few days, my battery life on my S6 has been draining at alarming rates. Just in ten minutes, 10% of my battery has drained with just screen time on my home WiF . I can close all pages and it will stI'll drop 5-10% in 15 to 20 min. I bought my phone new at Verizon Feb 3rd so it's fairly new. I have very few apps on it. Not sure how to add screenshots.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:


1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).

Check your accounts and see if the Google account is sick syncing backup photos. This always happens even if I turn it off. Using the camera turns it back on even if it's off. It shows up as Android system or os keeping the phone awake. You have to do battle with Google photo backup.
