I agree!

And no matter how hard I try to find out what's causing the drain, I can't seem to find the issue. Battery on my old S5 was a beast for this one!

I really hoped that battery would be at least the same..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
The same for me... There is hope the Nougat Firmware is better :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] blacklion33:
Me too. Will post results if the battery life increase dramatically. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hansoliv:
Good day.

Just leaving some sugestion here.

I'm using Greenify to hibernate samsung and google play app and services.

Also found that the phone turns on and off wifi regularly for location purposes, so i turned it off at "privacy and safety".

And finally turned off hardware step counter at S-health app.

After that i had been having better battery duration.

I'm going to try this tonight. I picked up the Google pixel because the battery life has become horendous on my s7. I've even tried a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
And on Pixel it's better?

No problems with battery life, latest software via SupermanROM amd greenify and PowerNap, nothing special
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattbeau:
Yes the pixel seems to have better battery life

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattbeau:
I get that and everyone's real life use us a little different. With my S7 I generally am down to about 20% after work. With the pixel it's about 50%

I just downloaded better battery stats so I can see if it's just my imagination
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
I experienced the same thing, even did a factory reset like you, but it didn't help me much...

I not even sure what seems to be the problem , i'm using the same apps as i did before and with

same intencity... Before i had from 5 to 6h of SOT, now i hardly manage 4h. Phone is barely 7 months

old so i doubt the battery itself degraded. I almost never use fast charge and always use the original charger.

Wth happened to my S7 i can't tell for sure. I really hope Nougat brings some improvements, either that or i will

be changing my phone too. Maybe the updates are the problem but i'm not positive abot that. Overall i am satisfied

with my S7 (exy), the speed and responsivness are great, camera and display too, only the battery life got worse...

I have everything on stock, just disabled some unneeded apps. I haven't rooted my phone and i don't intend to,

atleast not until there is a knox-free root solution.

Here's my pixel for comparison
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
Bad deepsleep...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DSF:
Not impressive at all.

Imho, android sucks in 2 departments vs ios: inconsistent and poor battery life and pathetic ram management.

iPhone with lower battery capacity and with 2gb of ram beats of the crap of android, even pure android.

Pixel with 4gb fail to deliver decent ram management, making multitasking useless. See phonebuff recent video.

Being an android user for years, and now a s7 exynos user, those 2 points are the drawbacks that pisses me off and force me to switch sides. (I've also used iphone 5 for about 1.5 years, and while ios is limited, jailbreaking unleash the true potential of ios devices.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tekogremista:
I already have the gs7 and the first impression is good. I lost 3% in 9 hours of sleep last night. My concern is that the "android system" is draining more than the SoC. Probably still running some updates on the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CLARiiON:
Greenify doesn't require root now. Non-rooted users can also use this, though few functions might not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
While it works, without root and Xposed it's severely limited in it's functionality. It's essentially a task killer without root, that force stops apps when you activate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
I have done a new experiment on my Galaxy S6 and the stand by drain has reduced to negligible (estimated at 0.3% per hour). Have a look at this post for details. As the software is quite similar to Galaxy S7, I would assume that same optimization can be adopted and tested for results.

I've noticed you've spammed quite a few threads with this. It doesn't really help. People tried this when the S6 launched and have been doing it on and off. Eventually the battery turns to junk again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
I'm just trying to help some people here having issues with standby drain on both S6 & S7. If you don't find it helpful than don't bother with this. I would rather dump the junk & move over to something better.

super for the s7 edge... just "good" for s7... a little disapointed. (i find the edge version totally ugly)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andybaby:
Have you done some scientific testing with this? My suggestion, Alternate routers for at least a week (4 days of each, swapping nightly) Screen shots each morning of the battery drain. try to get a consistent reading by restarting the phone just before bed.

Without doing that its all just supposition.

All battery threads turn into statements of mild religious like beliefs with no basis in fact a lot of the time. We need some more science up in this *****.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] danveer:
Just came here to know if i should upgrade from s6 to s7,

Thats my standby drain btw. Everything off ( wifi, bluetooth, gps but not on flight mode so network still there)

And it was still at 100 % after 12 hrs.

Came to 99% only after i used it for 2 to 3 mins...

Same optimisations will surely come to s7 too.. just wait for update/ or freeze the apps you dont use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
1st don't have time for such a lengthy test. Secondly it will just prove it works or not. Still will not bring any technical understanding that why this is so. We need a network hardware & software developer to evaluate differences between routers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andybaby:
Unless your effect is not replicable, then there needs no need for anybody else to try and figure it out because in that case it doesn't exist. You are inferring a relationship when one may not exist.

Secondly, what i described would probably take less time over the next week than it took you to make that reply. 15 seconds at night to change wifi then restart before bed, and 20 seconds in the morning to take a screen shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
Why don't you try this and prove this right or wrong. I had standby drain issues for the last 3 months. My issue resolved with this. If somebody have the same issue amd want to try, could be possible solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andybaby:
Anecdotal evidence is about as useful as idle speculation. Test your hypothesis and you may contribute something useful. Only you have the testing apparatus. Your supposed draining router and your lean router and your phone with the preference.

So far so good today. Used the package disabler to stop some bloat like svoice and few others, but not drastic like some other people have done. I don't play games on my phone, but I do listen to music. Not a good example of my typical day. But still good none the less. Reminds me of the LG G2. (Not quite there,)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crewville96:
4 hours SOT with music from 9am until 9pm, with 40% left is good. With my Z3C I have great battery life (500 mah less than S7 though). I might do 2 hours SOT with 3 or 4 hours music/podcast and have about 50-60% left at night (6am-11pm). So, IMHO, 40% is good enough, especially if they release a small update to fix whatever the hell is going on.

The battery life you guys get is impressive. I rarely reach the 4h mark, usually I'm somewhere around 3h30m. The phone is brand new, running the latest update of 6.0.1 on Exynos.

I tried using EZDisabler PRO with no significant increments in battery life. Afterwards, I did a factory reset and I'm using it on 3G all day with location turned off with the same results. (I also turned off the Always Scan for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth option and I don't have Facebook running on my phone). I'm only using it for WhatsApp, Chrome and Spotify and have no games installed. The reception is great, I can switch to 4G with no signal drop, but I'm afraid it will eat more juice.

It's annoying, my previous phone was a Xperia Z2 with impressive battery life for its age.

on stock MM rom (no root, no debloat) i get between 4-5hrs SOT when im on 4G only (when im outside/at work). when constantly connected to wifi (at home) i reach 7 hrs SOT. location and AOD are always on here (with wifi scanning enabled). And with no debloat i mean that i didnt use any debloating app, i only disabled the apps which samsung allows me to disable like Shealth. I also put app power save on "always" for all apps that don't need to be running in background (in battery settings)

How do you do this? 1 day and 14 hours? Seriously?

How in the world are you getting one day and 14 hours of use out of your phone? You must have brightness way low and your screen definition very low or something like that and all your services under very strict control and all your apps disabled and a very low amount of apps installed. I get maybe 7 to 8 to 9 to 10 hours max. These new phones should get WAY LONGER THAN THAT. It pisses me off. Please explain how to do this. Please.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Brightness auto, nothing else changed really, WiFi enabled 24/7 and the phone set to High Performance permanently (Max 1440p screen rez)

Easy to get 2~ days from the battery with normal usage

I use Package disabler to disable stuff I never use, but it has no real impact on battery life tbh, it used to with MM, KNOX and OMCustomize would eat the battery, but not since Nougat, I just disable them to remove them from view

That screenshot with over 7 hours SoT was not a typical SoT for me, I generally get around 6 hours SoT, I think I was talking on WhatsApp for a long time over those two days, that barely uses any battery so shows up a long SoT

But the time on battery is normal, 1 day 14 hours is easy to achieve without disabling or lowering anything

What do your battery stats say is using so much power? 7-10 hours max is very low unless you're using power hungry apps or your phone is not dropping into doze during screen off etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] brandon110:
100s of apps for one I suppose.

Well, I have 100s of apps I suppose, but I don't think none of them are active. I have the Verizon Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S7, maybe you have a different version or something? Or do they all behave the same usage?

Here it is:

Pandora: 21%

Android System: 18%

Android OS: 12%

Screen 12%

Bluetooth 9%

Flashlight 8%

Media Server: 4%

Ac Market: 3%

Cell Standby: 3%

Google Services: 2%

Calendar 2%

Voice Calls: 1%

That is everything under battery percentage I believe. Now there is an option "Optimize battery usage" Should I have this enabled or disabled? I'm going to select all apps for now...

1. What is MM? What is KNOX? What is OMcustomize?

2. Would you suggest I try Package Disabler?

3. What is Nougat?

4. What is SoT?

5. WhatsApp uses less battery? I wonder how, and so this means I should switch immediately huh?

6. "Not dropping into doze during screen off" I would very much like to know how to make sure my phone is doing this.
