Don't think I've ever had a phone with this many issues.
The latest is that WiFi and SIM standby are taking up huge amounts of juice.
NOTE: it doesn't appear to be an issue with actually transmitting data (unless it's miniscule amounts... ?) Data throughput is minimal; it's as if the components themselves are simply sucking massive juice just by existing.
This screenshot is just an example, but it's similar to this always unless I put it in airplane mode / turn off WiFi, disable SIM radio etc... If turning off WiFi, then SIM radio becomes the culprit, and vice versa.
5 minutes screenon and lost 30% over a few hours. 48 minutes screenon and lost 66% over 16 hours.
Any help appreciated.

Dual sim, bad connection. (really bad by the looks of it)
Are u using 5gjz wifi? Could also drain more of its bad.
Or you have WiFi scanning enabled which means even when you turn WiFi off it's still on scanning for networks for things like location.
Probably wifi scanning is turned on..

I noticed This happening for the past few weeks now.
Sometimes when I go to sleep, I don't turn the wifi off. But when I do, it seems that while I'm sleeping, the wifi turns on by itself.
The screen shots above shows that at the first few hours, the wifi was on, and so was Facebook!
I also noticed in the past that when I turn my wifi off,. Sometimes it will just suddenly turns on.
Can an app be doing this? I have auto-sync activated. Can that be the reason why my wifi just suddenly turns on? Cause on the graph, only the first few hours consumed 30% of my battery. Which is a big deal for me. Cause I don't want my phone to just decide for itself whether it will need data or not. I know it's a smartphone but there has got to be a limit how smart it is. Hehehe.

Probably autosync is the cause. There's no decent app as far as i know to open wifi or mobile data by itself.
Try to disable it and check it out.

Thanks. It seems that auto sync is really the cause. I turned it off and my wifi didn't turn on while I was asleep.

Hi,
I recently had my droid maxx replaced because I was getting less than 2 hrs screen time and overall my phone lasted hardly 12 hrs. On the replacement, I have had the same problem and I haven't been able to figure out the reason behind it. I typically keep bluetooth on all the time because I have a moto 360 and bluetooth in my car. Additionally, I typically have my location services set to 'high accuracy' since I use gps to check traffic everyday via Waze (it's pretty annoying to have to turn it on/off twice daily).
One thing that popped in my mind today is that could NFC be responsible? I have a silicon adhesive that I use to store my ID, a credit card, and my ventra card (Chicago public transit). The ventra card uses NFC so I was wondering if my phone might be constantly reading it, and result in the excessive battery drain. Has anyone seen this before? Below are pictures of my screen on time along with the general battery stats. If the low battery is because I'm lazy and keep bluetooth/location services on all the time let me know - but I didn't think the drain would be that excessive. Any tips/advice would be great!

Hi guys, i performed a factory reset to my opo, but now i have a huge battery drain. I think it is caused by the Wi-Fi but i don't know why. I disabled location, autobackups, ok google detection and stuff like these. I also noticed that the wifi is active also when the phone is powered off. Any advice?

The huge drain is caused by your weak cell reception. As you can see the drain is minimal right at the beginning when you were not using your device at all.
The drain starts at the same time when the reception starts to get bad (red).
But, you also started using your device quite heavily at that time (active + screen on for longer periods).
Were you on wifi all the time or did you use mobile data and only had wifi left enabled?
What was you screen on time at the end of the day?
Without more information about what you were doing with your device I would say you were on the go, maybe on a trainride with bad cell reception which uses much more battery.
To be honest the battery looks "OK" to me in this case.
About the gap + wifi usage, might just be a statistics bug, I don't know.
Charge your device and go on monitoring your battery... there are bad days and good days.
I made a previous thread where I tried to force LTE to solve my Cell Standby issue. In the end I couldn't figure out a way to do this on a non-rooted phone.
Until recently I found an app Network Mode that allowed me to select "LTE only" which I thought would solve the problem of my phone wasting his battery to finding a GSM connection (which I guess the problem is).
Cell Standby is currently still on the top with usage, but it dropped from 70-85% to 50%.
But I want it to drop more, is there anything else I can do to test to find what causes him to use this much battery, and possibly disable it?
PS. I don't have this problem when I put my Belgian SIM in my phone which isn't limited to internet data.

Bump
I tried to contact Google, they sent me to Samsung. Samsung said it's a stock android problem so sent me back, placed the bug on their bug system but no response yet. Anything I can try myself while waiting?
Last bump, I promise. I'm stuck between two companies and my phone can't survive a day.
Before I was getting 14h total time, with 2.5h SOT time before being forced to charge.
So I did the fresh reset like was suggested. Battery life is FANTASTIC now..... SOT 30M, LFC 3.5h, time left 2d 13h.
However, if I flip on WiFi, my phone will drain quickly, for some reason, I think it is either constantly searching for new WiFi locations and/or it is keeping my phone awake constantly.
Anyone have a remedy for this?

Now look at it afterwards
I only got mine yesterday, but I have noticed the battery life is terrible also. I found a setting in wifi called 'scanning always available', which I have disabled, this might be our culprit.

I have been looking at that as well.
I would check for wakelocks while WiFi is on. I also double-check the app settings for syncing while on WiFi.
