Edge Panels????

Dude, also the battery on the edge gives most users a full day. Why are you even commenting on this thread?

Agree with Chris 100%. Battery life is a non factor. Been at work all day (8 hours +1 hour each way= 10 hours), the phone has been off the charger nor have I attempted to charge it. With moderate use, Facebook, Android forums, text, calls and camera, I'm at 53% when I sat down to eat dinner.

Non factor for some. It is an issue for me currently. On the Note 4 that I had for 2 weeks, I'd only drain 4% on standby from 9 pm to 4 am. On my Edge, I'll drain 15% in the same time frame. I would love to get similar performance on my Edge. I don't have a flip case on my phone, but this Cocktail Bar seems to be one culprit.

Just because it's a non issue for some, doesn't make it a non issue for others.

That said, I love my Edge and will continue to try to figure out how to optimize my battery life without crippling the device.

Exactly why I'm still using my Note 4

I'm still happy that I got this instead of the 4, I had the 3 and I just needed something different and the edge gave me that spark

I won't claim to be an expert but in stand by I'm not sure what edge feature would make that big of difference. Night Clock maybe? Assuming you had it on at those times. Are both devices configured the exact same minus the edge panel? If so I might have a few suggestions but that's not meant to assume they're settings you're not already aware of. Happy to help if I can.

Yes, they are configured the same. Last night, I made sure that location services and Bluetooth were turned off (I never had to turn them off on the Note 4) and I used Greenify to hibernate out of my apps.

So, last night was the first time I tried doing something different. But results didn't change. They have the same new SD card in them.

Here are stats when I got up this morning.

During that time the edge panel was only good for less than 1% of the overall drain. So it isn't the edge specifically but maybe the edge is handling background processes differently than the Note 4 but I wouldn't think so. They're basically the same. If it were the edge panel though I would tell you to check the screen time out on the edge panels but other than that the edge panels when not in use shouldn't be making much of a difference. All the edge is is basically a vertical dock and widgets feature. Battery consumption would be based on what is running not what is housing them, especially if it's not being used. So if the edge is timing out properly and it isn't being activated then it itself shouldn't be pulling your battery much.

Looking at the stats your battery consumption split 42% to core functions (phone radio, screen, etc) and then 58% to app usage (even though some of those apps aren't apps, they're still essentially core functions). Anyways just for comparison the edge panel consumed .8 and Facebook and Facebook Messenger accounted for 5.6% more than 5 times the consumption. So it's not the edge. It's something else. At least I think. I'm sure cocktail bar service isn't the only edge resource but still it's negligible to everything else.

Well, I had it set to 2 minutes, so changed it to 30 secs just now. See if that helps.

Are you talking about contacts in the phone? You can. Click the + sign next to the existing number.

No I am not. I am talking about being able to have multiple numbers for the same person on the edge screen.
