Suggestions on battery life? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running Hyde right now and I love it, but something seems to be killing my battery quickly. I'm not blaming Hyde at all, just wanted to point out the fact I was running a custom rom.
I do have a original galaxy gear that has Tizen flashed, but prior to rooting I was getting a full day on a single charge. Now I'm getting only about 6 hours. I posted a couple of screenshots below.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why android and screen on would be tearing up my battery so much when I don't have my phone screen on constantly?

Are you using a custom battery or the original battery?

It's an OEM battery. I have xposed with greenify installed as well.

my friend you should post the partial wakelock screenshot. What i found is, there are certain apps keeping your phone awake even during standby. Cant say much from the screenshots posted!

Awful Battery Life! (<2 Hours SoT)

So I've been getting some pretty abysmal battery life so far. Running out of ideas of what to do!

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I've done a full factory reset, which made no difference. And the screenshots above were taken with location services completely disabled! Any suggestions?
There's quite a lot of wakelock time from Android OS and Android System, but would that really be enough to cause this much drain? Then there's the problem of actually finding a way to stop it. It's just annoying as otherwise this is a fantastic phone, and I really want to like it, but this is just putting me off.
I think it might good idea install a Wake-lock detector app to whats happening also check this thread

Thanks, I've been taking a look through that thread but haven't found anything specific just yet.
As for a wakelock detector, I'm not rooted just yet, so there's very minimal information I can actually get annoyingly.

Smartmanager showing different battery results?

I've got my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running stock rom rooted with CF-Autoroot and debloated with titanium backup.
Since I first got the phone I started checking the battery stats, and from they beginning they seem off, as you can see in theese images:
So this is the first screen I get when I open up the smartmanager battery app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The strange thing happen when I click "Battery usage", as you can see, there is a 13 hours difference:
How can I fix this, which one do I rely on, is there another, better app I can replace this one with?
Thank you
Anyone?
Top image is estimated battery time left at current usage
Bottom image is estimated battery left at idle, although this changes drastically if you are heavily using the battery before checking stats
Does not seem right either, left my phone with screen off for twelve hours yesterday, and only about 3% down on the battery, which should make it stay on for far more than 1 day 7 hours?

Abnormal Android OS and Android System Battery consumption?

Hello guys, I've been using a 6P for about 3 weeks now, coming from a Nexus 4 with CM13.
I've been getting somewhat between 3,5h to 4,5h of SoT, but everytime I check the Battery graph, the Android System and Android OS consumption seems pretty high. On my old Nexus 4, these two never got over 6%, and I didn't found many reports of those 2 proccesses taking that much bettery.
I don't really know what it can be, and I feel that I should be getting a better battery life if I didn't have this problem.

That SOT sounds about right for this phone, unfortunately. Especially if you are on stock and don't use a custom kernel with battery easy profile.
There are thousands of report of people complaining that they are in the top list but that doesn't matter, what counts is your overall drain. Which is very dependent on the apps you use, your baseband station, and your usage. 4.5h is a good average for this phone.

Okay... What is up With my Battery Life?

Currently running stock 8.0 most recent firmware. Most I can possibly squeeze out is 2.5 hours of SOT with AOD enabled and about 50% screen brightness.
One other issue unrelated is that I simply can not get OEM unlocking to show up in dev options. I have updated manually with the update.zip to the newest firmware and waited multiple weeks and it still hasn't shown up. Not sure if this has anything to do with my horrible battery life. You may say that it seems normal but my battery is supposedly at 89% life and is only lasting until around 5pm, which I'm sure is not the case for most of you.
Relevant screenshots attached. Any help is appreciated!

The latest update seems to have caused this. Mine was affected too, but found a hard reset and careful managing of apps has helped. But still not as good as battery life on Nougat. Hoping the October patch will fix this....whenever that gets released.
I don't know why this is happening to some, but here i can't complain about anything... I am using it like before with all the apps that i have. I even didn't turn off the apps monitor etc.
i dont even use my phone like i used to, and its battery is crappy now ): guess i need to factory reset it so it can be lit as before
