Slight changes, huge difference
My wife and I have new Samsung Galaxy S6 phones. She uses hardly any apps, with the exception of What's App. Me, news junkie, I have several news, plus lots of other stuff I tried. End result, I am lucky to get 8 hours out of the battery, she gets 36.
I went on a campaign to eliminate apps and unused settings. Gone are the Economist and Preview of the NYT, and lots of little apps play store reloaded, that I do not use. I also changed some account settings to not check and sync things I don't use (Google docs, etc.).
Result: 3% drop per hour.
I have a feeling some of these little apps check stuff all the time, and keep using WiFi all the time, killing battery life.
