Has anyone updated from 5.0.2 - 5.1.1 noticed a decrease in battery performance? I was pretty satisfied with my battery life although admittedly i had most settings optimized with battery life in mind in order to get the battery life i was getting. However i was extremely satisfied with what i was getting but ever since updating to 5.1.1 things are not as good! I was averaging 7 hours screen on time before the update which iam aware is impressive but now iam averaging 5-6 hours most which is fine i guess but its def not as good as it was so i can only assume its because of the update!

Anyone else experience this since the update ?
 
Sadly that's what I've been experiencing with both my S6 and S6 edge, between 30-45 minutes less of SoT, and you know that I've been looking at it since I got the update from T-Mobile about a month ago, so far only thing different is that Android OS is always right below Screen as the biggest drainer, and that is one difficult task to troubleshoot.

After a while I reinstalled GSM monitor to see if I can pinpoint it better, but nothing concrete so far, only thing I can say is that when Bluetooth is off (no Android wear) standby seems normal, but with it on standby time has taken a dive. Google really has screwed everybody with Lollipop, most of devices with 5.1.1 have been showing same behavior, so now it really depends on how fast Android M is released, it may be a very long wait now.
