I'd consider doing the factory reset (wipe everything from recovery) and then disable and/or remove every possible bloat again. Something is clearly churning the battery.

Yeah the problem is finding out what. It's surprising no one has quite figured out just what is causing it yet, as there are a bunch of threads and posts over at XDA of people having the same problem.There is something on your phone causing the problem and not the phone itself. 60%+ Android System and OS is waaaay off. It has to be coding something weird on the phone. You just have to figure out what it is. Maybe the battery life isn't the best, but you'll never know with stuff like that going on.
Probably ought to close all that shit too. Turn off WiFi since you aren't using it. Get rid of the weather stuff. Turn off bluetooth. Stop app updates, etc. Probably want to reset it and try it from scratch. Disable stuff you don't use. I'm surprised people posting here would run their phones like this. Looks like a customer's phone haha
No one said they're needed, but why would you leave WiFi on if you aren't connecting to WiFi? That's a total waste of battery. Same goes for anything else. If you aren't using some connection, then turn it off.
That's not the source of the battery problem, but might as well do it anyway.
It's my wife's phone.
But regardless of that fact, she got more than double the battery life out of her G2 completely non optimized on a stock rom with facebook installed on it.
I shouldn't HAVE to turn off a bunch of things to get halfway decent battery.
If it's still like this by the weekend I'll be taking it back into a Verizon store.
I don't expect any of the big 4 will sell it. Buy an unlocked one. I think it will cover all the U.S. bands (though I could be wrong).
No way will Xiaomi ever support US CDMA. In so far as I know no Chinese manufacturer ever has.
Even if they did VZW would give you hell trying to activate the thing.
This is not completely true. Verizon will let you use any unlocked phone on their network if it supports their bands, providing you already have an active SIM on their network. If you want to activate a new phone/SIM on their network though, it may be an issue if it's not a phone they sell through their stores themselves. But if you get a rep or tech that isn't a total moron (which admittedly is kinda rare), all they have to do is activate your SIM in any other Verizon phone, then you can swap it into your unlocked phone. This is what a friend of mine had to do when the Moto X Pure first launched.
I doubt it's the hardware, although I would prefer the international exynos hardware so I would get dual sim phones. I think it's unoptimized TouchWiz and whatever carrier crap that's spying on you for advertising companies.
I like how you said no offense and then proceeded to offend all people who can't speak English well as untrustworthy... XpThe SD820's GPU is superior. No offense, but I'll believe it when I see it from an English-speaking reviewer at bare minimum.
Looks like the global version of the phone has more powerful hardware and US users are finding this out now. What a ripoff Samsung!
Samsung released two different versions of the Galaxy S7, and yours is the slower one
Well looks like that bootloader isn't getting unlocked.

Prepare for the Note 6 to be the same way.
So, an update to my wife's S7 that was getting 10.5 hours of battery with 2.5 hours of SOT. Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge
I had already ran package disabler, and uninstalled facebook, but it didn't seem to help. The final setting that I changed that seemed to be the game changer was turning off Smart Alert in the phones advanced settings. I saw a few threads on reddit about it, so i turned it off. And well.... all of a sudden this phone is amazing. And this is even with facebook reinstalled.
I guess it's possible the phone settled down, FINALLY, after having it for an entire week, but almost immediately after turning off smart alert, it started lasting longer.
I plan on turning it back on in a few days for a couple days just to see what happens, but the phone is not going back.
Why the hell would you ever re-install the Facebook app? Use the website and you could add another hour or more of screen on time.

Starting to get irked by all the things you cant do without root:
-Cant hide carrier logo in status bar
-Cant get unread count notifications over gmail / messages app in google now launcher
-Cant delete some bloatware apps (T-mobile app lookin at you)
I'd get the nexus if it wasnt for samsung pay and the fact that the edge fad is kind of cool. If they would just let you customize the shit out of the phone in the various advanced settings menus then it wouldn't be a huge deal.
I picked one up coming from an iPhone 6.
I really like everything about the phone, and would love it if it weren't for all the software issues i've found. Something with this phone or android 6 is causing many games to just run like crap. Given the hardware specs of the phone it shouldn't have any issues - But it does. Some games are completely unplayable as well like XCOM. Most games are just a stutter fest and my iPhone 6 ran them better. Really unfortunate, and it's making me consider returning the phone and hanging onto the iphone 6 until the iphone 7.
Great build quality, great camera, great specs - But the software optimization is so poor that it's a major turn off.
