Help finding/fixing idle battery drain



Hi my wife bought a Note 5 two days ago (9/30). She did all setup, app restoring, etc that evening and fully charged the phone overnight. However her phone is experiencing idle drain that I need some help fixing.

Some other info: battery saver modes are off, wifi is always on (but only connected at home), bluetooth is always off.

10/1: Arrived at work with 100% battery

A little over 4 hours later, with light use, the phone was at 51% with less that 45 mins SOT





With facebook as the biggest offender I suggested she turn off the setting of pre-loading pics and videos.

When she got home she charged phone to 100%. I also changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE. Here's how the battery looked with light use before going to bed:





10/2 - Left the phone unplugged over night to see what would happen, it lost 12% sitting on the nightstand for 8 hours.







Will report back later this afternoon to see how the day is progressing.
