Disable LTE, Location, Bluetooth

Using the Internet for things like location tracking, LTE Internet and bluetooth really drain the battery fast on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Sometime you need these services, but during times that it’s not needed, try turning them off and see how much longer the battery life lasts on your Galaxy S7 and sacrificing battery life. For those that don’t want to disable Location (GPS), put the smartphone into power saving mode. It will only wake up when necessary – like for Navigation.
