Re: Since pairing my Galaxy 6 Edge with Samsung Gear 2 via bluetooth, battery drain on the PHONE has been horrible.

I think I might have found the solution, and I'm not thinking it's the phone/ watch pairing. Verizon Wireless  mobile account has a set up wizard that will run a diagnostic on your phone if you are logged into your account. I checked, and it was FB Messenger that was sucking the life from my battery. I've uninstalled, and it is much better.

While I expected the watch/ phone pairing to drain it a bit, I didn't expect it to drain that quickly. Disappointed that Verizon suggested I just buy a brick, rather than point me in that direction to begin with- as it resolved the problem that changing settings on the Samsung, and running Samsung diagnostics wouldn't.
