See if this works for your battery drain issues.

Here is the link to what exactly worked for many of us over in the S7E forum. We all had the same exact battery issues you guys are describing. Remember that the biggest thing is to turn off "all background reporting".

Has anyone tried this?

 

[edwardob]

iread it everywhere "stop background reporting"...
but no instructions howto do it????

 

[EvoKnvl]

I tried it. So far, I see the huge improvement in battery. The phone seems to sleep now. I think the biggest thing for me was starting fresh. I wrote down all the programs I had and manually started from scratch, instead of restoring my backup (From a Nexus 6p.) Also, when I disabled programs, I only disabled the ATT stuff. I actually left all the Samsung stuff in, unless there was a duplicate Google app (Like Clock, Calendar etc.) I'll give it a couple days, but so far it's been a huge improvement for me.

I have heard that you don't have to factory reset to turn off the reporting. I recall someone mentioning it under the Google and Samsung settings, but I wasn't able to find it.

Setting > Google > Upper right corner (3 dots) > Usage & Diagnostics > OFF

For Samsung:
Setting > General Management > Report Diagnostic Info > OFF

I agree with most of the points in OP's link.
I personally do not like the idea to disable cool features that sells the phone, like the Always On feature for instance. If I have to disable the whole thing I might as well just go back to iPhone 6 plus.

- Disabling packages for me drains battery more unfortunately, I tested this twice. Now I just disabled apps. Battery life is better this way.
- This helps tremendously in my case is to not use PUSH for email. I have 5 active accounts, only one uses PUSH, the others use Fetch every 15/30 mins. My favorite email app is CloudMagic, I like them for their cleanest UI, unfortunately they don't support Fetch, so I went back to Samsung Email (I'm not a big fan of Type App either)

What Screen on Time are you getting now?

Usually it's under privacy legal stuff

Not much in there.... Nothing that I can find about reporting.

It doesn't literally say reporting, it's more about usage and diagnostic

Those slick bastards either changed it or moved it. It is exactly right there in that menu on the S7E.

There are other areas within the settings that also have options to turn usage statistics off. Both Google and Samsung has background reporting. I don't know my way around the Note menu since I don't have the phone so the only way I know to opt out is to do a factory reset and do it during the device set up.

That menu isn't on the Verizon note7. Sadly they felt it necessary to mess with the settings menu.

A temporary fix for battery drain.

It's the Android system and os drain bug that started with MM.
The things listed in that thread won't fix it.
No verified way to fix it as of yet.

Multiple people including myself had Android System usage go down to a decent percentage after following these steps. Some of us were around 50% Android usage and that dropped down to around 10-15%.

Also not using Google Now with location set to on helps a lot with Android System usage.

What packages you disabled caused battery drain? I'm also using CloudMagic. Guess I better look into it.

If you have not seen this video, please take a look.

I just reset the network connections as described in the video, cleared the cache with a cache cleaning app, and reboot the phone.

So far, battery drain issue has improved.
