The battery still didn't last over a day like it should. But turning off the permissions, I feel like this is how the Priv should be running. Smooth and over a day battery life.
Go to SETTINGS>APPS> HIT THE GEAR BUTTON ON THE TOP RIGHT> APP PERMISSIONS> Just look through the settings. I'm pretty sure everyone has permissions they don't need. Also be sure to SHOW SYSTEM by pressing the three dots at the top right for each settings. There are hidden permissions with some apps you can turn off too.
Also disable any bloatware.
I'm gonna try a battery saving apps and task killers now to see if I can squeeze some more juice out of it.
