No matter what I do I get this drain. Android os is keeping awake for 4 hrs in 12 hrs of sitting in my car. Apparently instead of dozing it says don't go to sleep instead drain the battery. I'm using amplify and app ops xposed to stop wakelocks even. Running pure nexus. Doesn't matter if its fresh install or not. Any ideas?
root and install better battery stats
Well you clearly have something waking your system. Though too much wakeblocking is just as bad. Perhaps try something else, like greenify. Most likely some rogue app.

Better battery stats didnt really tell much It seems to only happen if WiFi is on and not connected so I'll try turning it off and see. I pretty much removed everything from amplify last night and turned off WiFi and there was no drain. I'm getting amazing battery life today tho. But no dozing so I'll see tonight I guess.

If that's the case, you probably have an RX wakelock, and flashing a custom kernel [kylo for example] has that as a simple wakelock toggle you can enable.
Or block it by other means.

Thanks kylo was my next thing to try But I just wrote a tasker profile to automate WiFi on off that should take care of it. If that fails kylo is next. Thanks a bunch

No problem, also:
Kylo Downloads, since renderserver isn't being updated.
Also also: when in the kernel, there is a bug with all 4 wlan toggles, make sure it shows up as 'disabled' [toggle to the left] to have it enabled.

You know I had this kind of drain yesterday.

Honestly Android OS is the worst kind of drain because its hard to find a smoking gun. It's just the OS doing something we don't know.. While Facebook had its wakelocks, the thing is Facebook itself is not draining that much. Something else is going on.

Only advice I have is make sure searching for open WiFi isn't checked, under location make sure the scanning options are unchecked and kylos kernel seems to be helping as suggested in previous posts using the wake lock preventions.

Stupid question but how do you get to those settings for kylo?
Any of you guys running Amplify on the S7?
Used it on the Nexus 6P and managed to get pretty insane batterylife out of it. Talking days of use with close to 0% idle drain.
I've applied the same settings for the services, wakelocks and alarms on the S7 as i did on the Nexus. But as this is a touchwiz device i'm guessing there's loads more i can limit.
Used this amazing guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Has anyone made a list of wakelocks/services/alarms you can limit on the S7?
Thanks for any replies.

If that was the case i would of course go stock.
The phone using power while on is all fine and well. It's the standby drain that's bugging me.
i found greenify and amplify to be counterproductive. he's right stock rooted is best .minimal drain. the phone is already best equipped.

Good battery stats, I can't say 0% idle drain though. Less than 1% no doubt. You seem to know how to use your phone though, most complaining is from folks that have literally all Samsung's bells and whistles enabled and are baffled by the battery drain they're experiencing.

Guys, phones are for Us. We are not for phones. I will not limit function of my phone because of battery. My mobile must have switch on everything, GPS, WiFi, sync etc. I have 20-24 standby and about 4 hours sot. Is fine for me, especially if We have fast charge and small powerbanks ( if We need to use them ).
I've been debating if I should do a factory reset because since updating to 7.0 the battery life hasn't been as good as it should be. So I'm wondering what the community thinks I should do and getting everything back is a pain in the ass. Battery life hasn't been the best since 6.0 when it was using the february security patch and I can't even go back down to that.
Has anyone had better battery life after factory resetting?

I prefer BK Disabler, the color codes used by PDP for the different types of packages is not as good as the tabbed view used by BK Disabler. At least for me.
Edit: another advantage of BKD is you can disable unnecessary services too.

This probably doesn't make a difference, but is it better to factory reset from recovery than in settings?

I did it from recovery. Somehow I feel uncomfortable to do a factory reset from a running system.
But probably there isn't any difference.
What software version is everyone on my battery life has gone terrible,should I factory reset to improve it ??

I did a factory reset with wiping all cash twice and it didn't help. The battery life stayed as horrible as it was after the update.
Want to mention that i didn't disable any app when using my phone on Android 6.0.1. I had AOT turned on and my battery could handle up to 1.5 - 2 days. Now it's less than a day :/
Also, I wonder, if Samsung reduced the phone's battery life after the Note 7 problems (I've read couple of articles that they were planning to reduce it from 3600mAh to 3000mAh). Does anyone have any correct information about that ?
Thanks.

Pretty sure the phone only has adaptive power saving mode. If adaptive battery exists it's just something within the ai built into the phone....which would also work with adaptive power saving mode.

What did you restore to your phone after you did a factory reset?
If your battery life was bad, is either because you restore apps from either smartswitch or a backup, or because of the proximity sensor bug. Otherwise battery life should be good, unless you have apps that are draining a lot of battery. I had 10h SoT on my exynos variant and battery was not charged to 100 was at 94%. I will suggest you to look a the battery optimisation guide here, and also the exynos battery life thread.

Well there is proximity sensor bug, that does not allow the phone to go on deep sleep after you make a VoIP call (whatsapp or facebook call) this is solve by rebooting the device, but also the new software update aahas fixed this issue.

Yeah it works , try updating to latest firmware as they have improved battery drain , you could turn off AOD , put some apps to sleep in the settings that you don't use and optimize battery usage for them. i was told Mobile Data consumes alot of battery , I'm getting 2% drain for the night unless I leave some downloads.

I have not. I have literally no idea why the phone is acting this way. I also don't know why my battery stats are not working on the app.
Also idk if this information will help my phone is a snap dragon 855 US variant.
I might try another factory reset. Could you give me a safe to disable list? Perhaps I could try just disabling little pieces at a time and see what happens. Maybe I uninstalled an important service or something.
For example I completely removed wellbeing from my device. Idk if it is important etc or had a role in certain services.

Sure, I have the exynos so that might explain why cpu spy works for me.
Google battery historian (there is a good reddit sub that explains how to use it) which might help identify some issues
