Sorry should have been more clear! Was in a rush this morning. Well I lost 1% idle after 20 minutes idle. Then 3% in use within 10 minutes. Currently at 91% with 24 minutes use, my 6p would have been better. Once again I have the mobile active radio bug as with all android phones I have but other then that, lovely phone. Is there any way to change the WiFi to 2ghz as with my nexus 6p there was a drain with 5ghz.like which was rectified by switching. It doesn't seem to be dozing on WiFi.

i agree, but its a start, but the whole experience is amazing, this the the next big leap, unlike 3d was, once the resolution is like 1080p, thats what i cannot wait for
i been using the s7 edge for week now, and have to say the battery life is best i have experienced, using it only on 4G all day, brightness on auto, 4 emails syncing, heavy use, when it gets to 9pm-10pm evening im still around 20-30% , with screen on time on around 7hr

Plus slippery as a very slippery thing.
Ha! Yes and that.
A leather/wood back would have been just awesome.

just hope I don't drop it 
I can't see the issue with my drain. Please see screenshots, I can't be bothered to root to get to the bottom of it. I have minimal apps etc.

After a night of VR, I feel this is appropriate:
Sorry but I am confused as to what your complaint is.... almost 6 hours screen on time? The biggest drain is android system at 9%? Uses 15% in 5 hours including phone calls etc?
What do you think is wrong with it exactly?
If in doubt, back up the data and do a factory reset.

Seems good to me... My battery is kept hard at work where I work.
6 hours is my radio time not screen on time!
Cant see any issue with battery drain here... looks great! Not sure what you were expecting but 15% drain after 40mins SoT is really quite good.
Try fully charging it and leaving the phone alone for 2 hours and then see how it looks?
Uhm, whats wrong with that?

your estimated is 6 hours with the same use which is very good.
you literally have got no issues/drains with your phone so I'm confused as to what is the problem?
I think he also a little confused.
I just don't expect my held awake time to be more then my screen on as with any phone unless I've been listening to music in the background. This suggest something is holding it awake that's all
