Does Prometheus kernel make a big difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
I read there is way, but it's not simple. First try rebooting after disabling package, does it still appear ? There is one more package related to update, has the same icon, try disabling that too, then reboot. If it doesn't work, the only clean solution is reinstall and be careful next time. Just select "Later" when the update dialog appears, it will not download on its own. Then disable the packages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
Of course Any help is welcome
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
It's not fake. Try this:

- Download a 1hr movie

- Charge phone

- Set brightness to minimum

- Enable airplane mode

- Run the movie in a loop

You will get 20 hours SOT (see GSMArena review)

But is this really what you want ?

In that screenshot you can see that airplane mode was enabled then the phone was dozing for many hours. Not real world usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
You are definitely very ignorant Where is the airplane mode activated?

Always brightness 35% and a little more for video YouTube

You have 2 deadly sins... Envy and stupidity

Please... RESPECT!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Yep...the whole world envies you to the guts :laugh: If anything, I have pity for your unnecessary aggressiveness :)

By the way, ever heard of the "paranoia" disease ?

Maybe airplane mode was off, but it's clear from the graph that it's not a real world usage. More than half the time the phone was dozing. This phone is really good at video playback, getting good SOT from playing videos is not an achievement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
It works in your mobile and see how everything is possible and please do not again lie with airplane mode When you are an advanced user will see that he is wrong

I would love to know how on earth to fix this.... Using Efficient custom ROM V3.4, Android System permanently kills my battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
It is based on BPHJ. You will live with this until you use a ROM based on March firmware.

The battery on this thing has been outstanding so far. That said, Samsung forced me to do a ****ing load of updates yesterday (about 6 in the space of half an hour) so I'm waiting for the inevitable ****storm. So far so good.

I'm completely stock and not rooted, Verizon S7 Edge, and it seems the current update has drained my battery more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Hi mate, flash BTU BPJE and once again manage to get android OS low, really don't know how but im almost there.

But the system is much higher than the APC8 of course.

Much more than 100mAh per 10%, still sot is not that bad, this in 4G.

Tomorrow will try Wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fureedx:
Nooooo you updated ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Haha i updated to see if i can enter in nougat beta program.

Like it was in s6.

APC8 is better of course,it has less 2 3 features but no problem with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] biustech:
speaking in features which are those 2 or 3 features missing in APC8, one I assume is the new gallery

I updated to BPJE last night. Factory reset after (first one since I've had phone) Also applied the package disable xml and things are running much better so far. Im at 64% with charger coming out at approx 09:30am. SOT is only 1hr15min. Android system is 64%. But at least its nor proper draining like it was before.

You need help ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daz_2000:
dont really care. as battery life is much better. Will be 4 to 5 hours SOT on a full cycle. Im happy with that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Believe me it can be better if it is properly optimised.

In wifi you can get 8h.

What firmware do you have?

Its exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daz_2000:
Uk version so I believe thats Exynos. G935FXXU1BPJE.

I have no interest in rooting
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Me neither, i have stock and now second charge with BTU BPJE and its not so bad at all.

Have some android system but its around 13 14%,

Do you have the sync on, that will rise android system a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
Why don't root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
I really need the warranty,

And to be honest like i said before if i could root it only some note 7 port.

Sot will not improve that much,.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kzyw:
Warranty?

I never used this

OK, is your decision but this S7 Edge with root is much better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
I already used it and works. But that its other history.

My wife note 4 has 14 months and die a week ago, and send to warranty, and if they don't fix it, the store i bought it will give me a new one..

Android system doesn´t help at all, but 5h Sot is good enough fo me either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daz_2000:
It restricts access to some apps I need. e.g Sky Go and also Samsung KNOX for work emails. Ive rooted a few times in the past and never found it gives me anything I need. Each to their own though! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riso123:
If you live and bought your device within an EU country, your warranty is not void by rooting. This dates back to jailbreak and the EU bought in legislation to protect consumers so they can root and our jailbreak without voiding... at least that's what I read.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
One Friend i have in samsung, he said if i rooted it will loose the warranty.

So i don't risk it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] luismedina:
So, I went back to the BTU ROM because of the beta and I think the phone battery life is not that good with the last October security update, however I would like to know what do you think about this, guys? By the end of the day I was able to get around 5 hours and 30 minutes SOT with about 12% battery juice left

Any advise?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Not that bad either, right?

Well just have to wait and hope that 7.0 fixes it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Tbh mate you don't even need root for good battery life. Flashing the stock March firmware will set you good lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mflow:
I tried experimenting with the latest update on my S7 flat (November Patch, BPJG).

After clean flash, i opened Greenify and saw several "new" processes that might does not exist in APC8 firmware. These are

1. Context Service

2. tuiService (TouchWiz UI? service)

3. Game related services (GameMode, GameLauncher, etc)

4. CSCService (this might be in APC8 as well, but does not drain much compared to BPJG)

These services has an immense wake up time in greenify, fortunately, these could be disabled using Package Disabler Pro.

After disabling these, i found my battery life to be MUCH Better (the Android System Drain is still there as you can see in my screenshots, but much lower CPU time).

IF anyone is interested with the list of packages that i disabled, i could upload the XML file as well, but i'm not responsible for anything :D

===

i am flashing Nougat Beta after this, let's hope that there's no more Drain.

edit

Nougat firmware *might* still have the Android System Drain (look at my Screenshot)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Here is my Nougat battery usage screenshot (S7 Edge Exynos). It looks like Samsung changed the percentages so now they reflect actual battery percentages, instead of "percentage from all drain". It is easier to interpret, and you probably won't see high numbers at the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Google changed it. The numbers there and on my own device reflect numbers from Pixel/XL users. Percentages are just lower in general.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anibalhuneeus:
So.... How about real battery life, let's not worry about the percentages

How is SoT doing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fureedx:
You should check this thread out if you dont use paid apps. http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-double-battery-timing-t3491185. Much lower android drain. Cant post screenshot right now cuz network error but my standby time is 4hrs .battery is at 73%. Screen 2 hours with 165mah. Wechat 1209mah (crazy video calling ). Android system at 6% with only 112 mah!thats like 40mah per hour . Before doing this i get like 80mah per hour for android drain. Android os is at 22mah. Ill see what i can get for screenshots 2morro.

Do not provoke me hahaha I want to see your consumption first :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
You can get that sort of drain without killing typical functionality by simply using the March firmware. I gained like 30 min SOT (comparing my own usage) for tons of headache and apps not working that require play services. I only see it as being worthwhile if you want to hide yourself from Google
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mflow:
After a whole day, this is how my S7 Flat and Nougat battery life is.

Screen on time is "okay"-ish, as i played several games as well and also on Google Play Music for a while. I also use LINE (a battery drainer, and a bad one at that).

Everything else is just nice. Android System drain is still there as well, but I've seen worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
So android system drain remains?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mflow:
It's too early to say that as there is a big difference on how Android M and N reports the details of battery life.

but i can presume, yes, the bug still exist, but much much lower compared to M (APC8 is still better)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fureedx:
Im on the june firmware . Apf2 which has similar battery life like apc8. Ill see if nougat is worth it then decide to go nougat or apc8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Its too soon to say but so far so good, battery is improved. Lets see next days.

Look at the Android System drain thread, APF2 is no APC8

[MENTION=4225539]Galactus [/MENTION] what do you think about this.?

OS started to drain more with nougat in 4G and system too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Looks similar to mine but like I said in other thread, it doesn't harm battery life at all. We aren't rooted either, so with a rooted system we could easily lower Android OS and System.

Since the September patch battery drain got worse every month. Yesterday I flashed APC8 firmware from March but android OS is still #1 and draining my battery.

I managed to stop android OS with APC8 and was very good, but really don't know what caused to stop, try a lot of things, could be settings, because when flashed BPJE i don't had android OS too.

But now with Nougat i have it, same settings and don't find a way.

I reported the drain and they say ate trying to fix it.

I'm on stock and not rooted, using an S7 Edge Verizon model. I was getting about 20 percent or so, of Android OS Drain. I plugged my phone in, did a manually Verizon update, did a factory reset and it knocked down my Android OS drain! Also, after factory resetting, I used disabler pro... I am not getting the best cell reception, but I'm at my wife's Step Father and mother's place, but before I factory resetted, I don't think my phone would doze well. Well, here is a screen shot after a factory reset and using disabler pro after.

I'm on latest MM firmware AP: G935FXXU1BPJG CP: G935FXXU1BPJG CSC: G935FOXE1BPJ2. Battery life is awful! Android system and android OS draining batery very quickly as well as when lightly using phone it drains fast and phone is noticeabbly warm (was not like that before that update) barely get 2 3 hours of SOT with browsing and facebook only! no gaming nothing major! I want to go one update back when my screen was 4:30 5 hours of moderate usage including gameing!! :(

Herr I uninstalled facebook and messenger, charged a phone and it lost 16% in 7 hours! Doing nothing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ThomasKane:
Here's a weird story.

So I got a S7 edge, Exynos version in Spain. I noticed during the first charge that it held up pretty awesome ( I'm coming from a S6 Edge+ which actually had poor battery life after a year, at most 4hrs with powersave on at all times ). Second charge not so much. Then the common problem of Android Os and Android System eating up a lot of battery. Almost or more than the display. After reading this thread I bought Ez Disabler, got rid of VR Package, and mostly everything I l've read in the app and online that wouldn't affect anything. And surprise, Android kept being the second battery drainer in most cases if it wasn't beaten by my game, youtube or music streaming apps. I do have the usual instagram, facebook + messenger, whatsapp and use them daily. I have no pc, laptop or tablet aside so the phone is being used for all.

I live in an area with decent to bad cell reception, I keep wifi mostly on while in the house, brightness is at 20-25 %, music goes through speaker or headphones equally, I have a black theme and black wallpaper, running Nova since I got the phone. To help I have installed Greenify and Power Battery Saver both of which having the chatting apps on ignore list. No sync, email is not a priority, haptic feedback on, no power save.

I've gotten between 4h 45m and 6 hours of screen on time, charged from less than 100% mostly and more than 10% ( and yes I did 2 cycles of 100-0 too ). The lowest I got was 4 and some change with music through the aux, navigation, messaging, and some voice calling.

Weird thing is, some times the battery goes down fast the first 2 hours, sometimes the exact opposite. I've charged it 2 times from a Samsung oem external battery that came with the S6 and it went down faster than expect ( the battery had some issues in the past so no surprise there ), took 2 charges each time for the drain rate to come back to normal.

Now, my problem is this, apart from the Android eating up battery, I've noticed the actual phone app chewing more ram and battery than I think it normally should and have a few times been alerted by the power saving app that it's eating up too much. No recent calls were implicated in this equation. Ideas ? Also, does the whole disabler package stuff mean lower reception still ? I have noticed it not being able to get network coverage and going for E instead of at least 3G in places I knew it should have good strong signal in the past with previous phones. Relation ?

So there's that, although apparently after the disabling of stuff and the 2 apps being used the drain is still present I can still manage a very decent display time. Explain this.

P.s. I got to 7 hrs without problem that day, the next day with mostly the same rituals, battery seemed a lot more eager to discharge. Is my phone haunted, retarded, or just me being paranoid?

Hope this helps anyone, I'll try next week, 5 days with power save always on and a bit more calls, and 5 days without package disabler active, see how much that affects battery life and cell reception.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shelbym:
just do this

just download package disabler and remove all bloatware. especially everything related to gear vr and samsung gear services. i used to have 20% battery drain over night now its just 2%. dont worry its permanent solution.

For samsung users

Install package disabler pro from play store. After disable,

at least one good thing is if you're getting that kind of battery drain from cell standby that probably means you're very far away from cell transmission towers which probably give you cancer.

It all started with the June patch for me. Battery life was so awful after updating. Got even worse after every new patch. So last month I decided to go back to March's APC8 firmware MD everything's fine again.
