14 odd hours is pretty decent battery life? Even with the steep appearing drain. I can only average 10 hours and that's without touching my phone at all. if i moderately use it, it lasts 5 hours tops.
You're probably seeing a steep drain through sync apps, screen brightness, or a combination of a few other small things. If you're that worried about it, download better battery stats and monitor your phone for a few hours to check no apps have gone rogue.

These are my battery stats: Link
Obviously battery analysis is relative to the handset and user, but I honestly think your stats are above average.
Collect a battery stat of one full cycle and compare that, so the charging doesn't skew the results.

@ you dude: it could be yr wifi that causes yr battery to drain, by looking at yr stats.
anyways, get better battery stats like what ChrisRHolstein mentioned to look for the culprits.
and not forgetting, do a 2-3 battery discharge cycles.

If you take a look at his screen, you will see that it seems his screen was on a lot more than your (around 2 times more ?) but consumes a lot less.
So it seems his battery life is realy great... but we don't know how he uses his phone.
Instead of bigging up your ego's, explain how you got that battery life, you guys are nearly as bad as the dicks that brag about quadrant scores, streamline your uselessness.

Without any usage data, the OP is useless. With light use and sporadic data, my battery level is down to 65% after 48h which I consider great. Stock KE2.

Agree useless ... need more information to give any sense.
On my not rooted, non freeze, no Juice Defender, stock KE2 (upgraded to KE7 yesterday) phone:
+1 day heavy use
+2 days medium use
+5 days light use (mainly standby)
man I am tired of this battery screenshot showing off threads..
if someone uses 3 hrs of screen awake time out of 53 hrs..its the same thing as my battery lasting one day with 6+hrs of wake time..
everyone just bull***ts 1+day battery screenshots and fills ups the forum like junk..
some1 shud moderate this..

Battery life sucks

2 hours on the phone did this to my battery. Screen time was 48 mins. Screen was off on call using BT. Phone was red hot after call

It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..
Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.
Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.
I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?

Is battery life getting better over time?

When I first used the OPT, I noticed that it loses battery *in standby* pretty fast. Screen on time was good but just leaving it be would drain a lot of battery. I turned off LTE but also noticed that it often struggled with cell network quality (which usually makes a phone look for other stations etc. thus battery is used a lot).
However, today, after a couple of days of use and maybe 3, 4 recharge cycles, it seems a bit better. Is there a chance that this is an actual effect (it could be something very different). Do batteries also get better after some use or am I just biasing my highly non-scientific measurements here?

I've noticed this too. I think that this battery technology does improve its capacity after several charge/discharge cycles.
Correct but what about 100+ cycles... It start loosing its power.... What's the best way to keep a li-ion unit last longer? Any help or suggestions?

Good practice is not let battery overheat, like when you play and charge, also batteries don't like to be fully discharged try to keep at least 20% and start charging again

Short answer. No, worse.

Very high android system battery drain

Hi, I have my s7 edge for 3 months and my battery life is less and less big. My android system is taking a lot of the battery life but I let you see that in the screenshots.

I looked for the solution and I saw that some of the users of s7 edge reset their phone and the issue was gone bit it didn't work for me.
Thank you in advance.
This topic has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/how-experiencing-android-battery-drain-t3327730
There has not been a clear solution that works for everyone. 18% seems to be normal for most. I am usually around that and can get above 5 hrs of SOT with 24 hours total. I would focus on other ways to improve battery life. There is other app or process that is causing your problems. For example, it looks like Good Lock is using a lot of battery in the screen shot you posted. When I used it, it only used about 2-3% battery. The location specific settings in that app can drain a lot of battery. I would also try and see if something is keeping your phone awake. There probably is something and that is what is most likely draining your battery.
First thing would be turn off google back-up if you have not. That was a major source of wakelocks for me. Also try a battery monitor like GSAM or Better battery Stats to get a better picture of what is going on.

Thank you for your help, I will try your solution. If the issue persists I will go to my carreer to see what they will they about that.
As already posted there is a thread for this here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/how-experiencing-android-battery-drain-t3327730
so I'll close this one as it probably should have been in Q&A

Good mate but you charged it a bit
Not bad at all for this battery/hardware combo.
Stock ROM rooted with Magisk and Force Doze
At 55% battery I'm looking at 4 hours 11 minutes screen on time. Usage split between YouTube and chrome.
I got down to 12% battery, had 6:50 SOT. Youtube, loudspeaker music/podcast, lots of Chrome, some social media. Really happy so far.
Straight usage. 100 -> 49
4:43 of SoT
YouTube and Chrome.
I have force doze so I think during standby it'll flatline. Just can't stop using my phone though.
Screenshots speaks for it self

This is great, would be better if next time you provide us with screenshots please :good:
Here's mine from yesterday. Almost 6hrs S.O.T with 50% battery remaining.
First full day with device.
Includes 1.5 hours of GPS and Bluetooth streaming
Very happy with results.

I'm very happy with my results after first full charge and purposely pushing it to test the battery.
High accuracy and all battery consuming features on.:good::good:
First days of normal usage since I received my U11 one week ago. Got to say I'm honestly impressed and like what I got.

Battery life looks great
