Thinking its an issue with android 7.1.1, I had issues with my Nexus 6P and think 7.1.2 helped with that. I'm on my 2nd battery and had this phone for only 2 months brand new. Wish it wasn't an issue I love this phone other than the battery drain.

I changed from Note 3 to s 6 edge plus recently
The battery drops 5% per hour overnight when not in use. If I go to bed with less than 40% battery at night I am sure to wake up with my phone switched off in the morning.
When in use with screen on, the battery drips one percent every two minutes. This is the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. I was a long loyal customer of samsung and this is my last samsung phone ever.
Extremely disappointed
Please post your battery stats ? so we can have a better understanding of your problem. I suggest you install 'Doze' which should stop unnecessary apps from connecting to the internet and causing your phone to awake from deep sleep.
Dear Akbar 11
Heres the battery stats....is it normal?
I had the same issue, and as far as I managed to find out, it is a bug in Samsung's kernel. Flashing Arter97 kernel solved the issue for, but do post battery stats from SmartManager. If it says 'Android' or 'Android OS', then you have the same problem many of us do.
I don't think it's a kernel problem. My android OS is very low 4%. Like zoolok said post your battery stats from settings, battery, battery usage
I have the same problem. Battery was great before I flash custom rom. After going back to stock I have big battery draining. I must stay on custom rom. With Audax rom and Skyhigh kernel i have great battery life.
You have either messed up something big or you have an app in the background that is eating up your battery like no tomorrow.
And the reason i say that is because i recently got this battery life on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
And this was taken 2 days ago.
Here i use the CRISSCROSS ROM, AudaxPro Kernel, Greeinify and Samsung's own 'Appoptimizing' feature (same as Doze in Android 6.0).
So my battery life is pretty awesome.
i have problem whit battery lose 25% when i sleep
This is a usual day with s6 edge plus
Any help?

i have this problem battery ... if u fixed it tell me how?
Well I was expecting Google Play Services to be eating your battery (which is quite common) but it looks like your Andriod OS is eating the most battery. I would uninstall Facebook and use the web version it always helps with the ram and battery furthermore, turn off location if you are not using it and check accounts which are being synced. These are the only tips I can give you as I have never seen Android OS drain so much battery.
Since a few days Google Play Store is eating up my battery: I go to sleep with 100% batt and wake up with 50%, if I check batt stats on top I have play store at 45%, with 5h active a d 2h of CPU.
Follows Android system at 5%.
Going crazy why...

You've charged your phone 4 times during that day. I can't see what's the interesting part here.
So guys sorry if this post is "usual". But I bought the S5 for about 2-3 weeks now from second hand, also bought a brand new battery and I have remained on Alexander Devbase CPD7(MM 6.0.1) these days. My question is...how do people actually get 5-6h of sot on this phone? My best score was 3:46h of sot. Please give your app usages and tips. Oh and welcome me since I'm new to the s5 community Cheers.
Welcome lol
Nothing special, I just run a debloated stock ROM, 50% brightness is the only thing I change, WiFi is enabled 24/7
I was just showing my battery life with the new OTA 6.0.1 firmware earlier, over 4 hours with 50% battery left

All depends what you're doing on your phone though, if you're using that battery hog facebook app, or even have it installed, it's gonna drain your battery much quicker, or playing games etc
I use mine for WhatsApp, emails, texts and calls mainly, some browsing and easily get 6 hours SoT, today I was headed for 8 hours but forgot and plugged it in at 35%
Hi all,
i own my OPO since january 2015 and started noticing that the battery doesn t last like it used to be. i now usually get 3 hours of screen-on and it seems that the battery even takes longer to charge. How is your opo battery doing after more than 1 year of service? i'm asking because i want to know if it's a software problem that drains the battery (latest cm13 nightly) or really the battery got degraded
almost one and a half year old and the battery is still good.
after 2yrs, my batter gone down from 10hrs to 5hrs
What karthics4 said!Need a replacement soon!
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
if it got really degraded, change it.
Before replacing it, what should i check to be 100% sure that there is no battery drain on the software side?
With the right ROM and kernel I have much better battery life than two years before.
Oneplus One
I'm having less battery time than when it was new.
I have 3h SOT max currently.
Me 2. Currently looking for a good battery replacement...
After 2 years the battery is still extremely good.
Still lasting a day with ressurection remix and governor set to smartmax with lte,only wifi if i charge it to full it will consume only 35 to 40%.
I've had my OPO for over a year and battery life is excellent on Omnirom Nightlies (screenshots attached)
I get about 5 or less hrs SOT on CM13 Nightlies but with a custom kernel like Boeffla I can UC CPU and GPU and get about 6 hrs.
When I had my phone new on 4.4.4 KK I used to get 6 hrs SOT on COS with no tweaks whatsoever over 2 or more days.
Of course it will less, but I'm still getting 4-5 sot. I bought mine since the invite was sold like 40 dollars lol.
remmember that lithium batteries degrade when heated... and they get hot (40 C).
another thing to remmember is that android 4.4.4 that the OPO was delivered to us lasted more that MM and Lollipop...
after two years my battery is good, not bad not awesome like it new, but good.
I'm using ressurection remix with undervolt -130 MV
And I still can go to university and home with 50% battery.
The problem is you'll not find any ORIGINAL replacement battery for that phone. Its all label-faked batteries which will not last as long as a 2 years old original one...
I tried already some of them..
in GPS, choose the "DEVICE ONLY" mode and see that the battery will last more. CM bug...
Hardly any of the replies in this thread are useful. Most of you started out with KK and then went to LP and MM, which have much worse battery life than kitkat, so you don't know how much of the degradation is from battery wear. Flivercod's new AICP MM rom is the only one I have seen since kitkat that has a similar battery usage profile to kitkat - the screen uses at least 4 times more power than system, play services, OS, etc, so to me only someone who was running this rom could make a valid comparison to how their battery life was now vs how it was new. For me, I have dropped about an hour of SOT, from 6 to 5 due to battery wear, which is about what you would expect. Due to this, I would like to replace my battery.
It peeves me to no end, like Guido83 said,. that you cannot find an OEM battery for the OPO. They all appear to be counterfeit crap from reading the reviews. Oneplus does not answer emails asking how to purchase an OEM battery for the OPO. So, I guess you are SOL when your battery gets wonky or just old. With phones now being fast enough and good enough to be used for more than 2 years, except for the frigging battery, I am waiting until some manufacturer decides to make one with an easily replaceable battery (and that has good support on XDA) before I purchase another. Until then it's the OPO and my backup Note 4 (which I rarely use since it has awful GPS despite having a replaceable battery and SD card.)
15mths in and my battery life has improved dramatically just by switching to RR. If you're rooted then it's worth trying out another Rom.
Third time lucky for me. Oxygen was by far the worst for me. I couldnt even get to 4pm without a charge up. Since installing RR I'm finding battery life has more than doubled.
HTH
One.five year old with max Sot of 4 hrs
I have always rooted my phones but so far I haven't rooted my S7 Edge yet. However, the battery life sucks but after reading some comments on here it seems that people who root are getting no better or worse battery life. I was just looking for some feedback from people that have rooted to see what the majority response is. I've been contemplating doing this now for several days.
Thanks.
I've been contemplating about trying root again too, and that's after being on the U firmware. I'm now suffering battery life by only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%, unlike at the beginning I could get up to 3 hours by 50%.
When I was on root though, that's how bad I suffered, only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%. My Xperia Z3v is abandoned on support, but could still achieve better battery life being only on Lollipop. C'mon Samsung...

When i rooted my battery life dropped from 2 days to under a day before dying.
I am barely even getting that. I am at 59% right now with 37 minutes SOT and off the battery for 8 hours and 26 minutes. When I check app usage, the only thing that is high is the Android System at 39% and the Kernel at 10.7%. I can't figure out what kills my battery. I am on WiFi most of the time while at work or at home. BT is off as well.
On root you are using the engineering bootloader so the battery life is bad. You are better off using stock U. It runs smooth and battery life is not bad, plus you can get OTA updates.
U is a great FW so far. Battery life for me, with about 4 hours of SOT got me to about 50% at 530pm and I was off the charger at 7am.
I've had the phone just a week and if I am using heavy then the battery is pretty good, lasts 4 hours plus. Better than my G5.
However, if I am barely using and only sending the occasional WhatsApp and not much else, then the battery doesn't seem to last as long, for example it drained to 50% today with very little use, only 1 hour of SOT. Wifi and location were on, but Bluetooth off.
I've taken some screenshots of battery stars with gSam. Could someone help me decipher what is causing the drain? Or if this is normal behaviour?
Everyone is saying that this phone has amazing standby battery life because of 7.0, Doze, etc. So I am confused!

Looks like you have something running in The background keeping it from falling into deep sleep which is why. Unfortunately I suck @ troubleshooting these kinds of scenarios. My guess would be a Google service of some type. My brother had a problem with Gmail one time that was draining his battery while the phone was in sleep
