What does SOT stand for, I see everyone using the term when talking about battery life.

That stands for Screen On Time SOT

I think this battery life is about to be a little suspect. I took my device off the charger leaving for work this morning and it dropped a percentage in 15 mins of it just being in my pocket....Not sure whats draining it but I will try to change my GPS to Wifi and mobile networks today from the full GPS and see if that makes a difference. Once I feel like I am turning a bunch of features off to compensate for the lack battery life, im ditching it.

Android has always been weird like that. One day I might get to work and have 97% left, the next I will have 85% left, doing exactly the same thing every day. It must be something in individual apps which makes them maybe use more RAM, or stay on too long, or something else who knows. I've always found iOS to be much more consistent in battery use, probably because they are much more strict with how apps act.
[doublepost=1472069716][/doublepost]88% left with 27 minutes SOT and about 5 hours since it's touched a charger, not sure if that's improving or getting worse. Says I have 37 hours 24 minutes left with no power saving mode on, seems kind of optimistic.

In my experience with most Android devices I've owned. It's usually the top percentage that shows the quickest drain. Then from like 40%-75% is will show drain much slower. Have no clue as of why. But it could be that iPhone's battery percentage is more precise in the upper range.

Yeah im going to really have to watch this closely because if its going to continue this, I am honestly going to be done with Samsung forever because I keep giving them a try and its ALWAYS the same results and I go right back to the iPhone.

Well just to confirm my suspicions, popped the SIM back in my 6+ last night. 7:30 to 8:30 today on the 6+ with the same use as yesterday with the N7 and I'm at 100% vs 96%.

For this and many other reasons, the N7 will be going back today.

Here's my battery usage for today. I had light usage today from 5am to midnight (3 hrs SoT). Pretty good imo.
