I recently purchased the s7. I'm experiencing battery drain though.
I was a 100% in the morning and after light gaming, time checking, and Internet browsing (all of this for around 45 min added up) the phones at 45%.
Is this normal, or is it because the phone is still setting up, or what?

Could be. Although shouldn't drain that much. I streamed bt from Spotify for about 6 hours today and was only at 52% afterwards. Have u updated to newest version of software? Sammy says they optimised some battery draining processes. Try updating and clearing cache.

That's bad enough I would do a full reset before I updated then reset again after and see if that fixes it.
Same issue today. Will reset and check what happens

I didn't have HUGE battery drain, but it's certainly eye-opening on coming from a Droid MAXX. however, I did notice a lot of geegaws turned on by default, like the screen timer and the NFC and several sprint apps. I tweaked around, and switched to nova-launcher and that seems to have helped.
I just did a factory reset. After light gaming this morning for 15min, I'm at 95%. Before I would be at 85%.
And now, the phone doesn't overheat in my pocket.

Starting yesterday, Android OS and Google Services have started to drain my battery a lot more than usual! After a day of normal usage (maybe like 30 minutes streaming Pandora, two hours screen time), my phone was at 20% battery, when its normally at 50%! BetterBatteryStats shows that NplCollectorWakeLock was using up the most battery, but I don't know how to disable it. I haven't installed or updated any apps recently. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I'm stock and unrooted.

Sorry if I've missed something here guys but I noticed mention of the Bluetooth wakelock bug on KitKat builds. I had it too within hours of flashing it I had over 1 hour odd of keep awake in battery stats.
After going into Bluetooth and enabling it then disabling it, it still hasn't increased it seems to have stopped for now. Can anyone replicate this or explain this? I haven't had time to grab a logcat and look at it yet I'm at work currently.

Read something about this, somewhere.. if only I could remember now. In KitKat, Bluetooth isn't actually eating up the battery when it's not being used.

But its visibly keeping the phone awake. So it must be using it I never had it enabled before it appeared in battery stats.

I posted data thought about this at another thread where what I think is that just WiFi in 4.4.2 Bluetooth is always on although disabled but it should not be consuming battery(thanks to the low energy) unless it's connecting to other devices in fact I actually tend to use Bluetooth 50% of the time to play games with my moga and music in the car or with my deck at home and still get 15 hours easy

Yeah I spoke too soon its updated to 9 hours keep awake now but I have 3 hours screen on time and still at 50 percent battery so I don't think its actually using much if anything

Hey guys. Just got this phone. Amazing.
Anyway, just checked the battery and this came up.
Which is strange considering the phone hasn't even been on for a day, and it says the CPU has been going on for over an hour, but battery life is fine and it hasn't got hot at all. Standby time seems to be good as well.
Just thought I'd share this.

Anybody notice a strange battery drain after some app updates? I don't know which app is causing this because it's not showing in battery stats.
The battery used to be able to last all day with no problem, but is now struggling to.
Android OS and System are both at 18% and 19% and 7 other entries are between 3-5%.
Only thing changed I believe was that I updated some apps along the way and noticed this drain maybe 2 days ago.

Install GSAM battery monitor. It is useful even for non rooted devices. Note 3 has strange battery statistics. What I see in GSAM makes much more sense and alike all previous androids i have owned.

I noticed this too. However I've read that the recent Hangout update is causing battery drains but Google has fixed it and another update should be out soon.

Glad to say that the problem seem to have finally disappeared. Over 9 hours on battery and have 67% left. More than what I had before after 6 hours.

For the past few days I've been noticing that the battery is draining terribly fast, a quick check in the battery details page revealed that my wifi is being used throughout the time my phone is on, even though the wifi is off in settings and quick songs notification panel. How's that possible?. Is it some app which is using the wifi?. But can the app use the wifi which is off? . My S4 is a GT-I9500 model running 4.4.2

WIFI is always ON in your example, but it is not the issue you are looking for.
You have to find what application ( or wakelock) is running in background when your graph is in AWAKE state.
Drain? What drain? There is absolutely no drain visible on the screenshot. Your screen uses power. That's normal for a screen to do.
Smart Stay and adaptive (screen mode) drains battery a lot so you should consider disabling it.
I've turned off adaptive display, ill check if it will improve the battery life. Thank you

As u can see from this graph, my phones charge came from 95 to 15% in just 7 hours, with hardly any usage. Is this issue hardware related, could a faulty battery be the culprit. My phone is just 3 months old and still under warranty, should i consider replacing it.

Look at your processes and see what is draining the battery.
