Oreo update OTA or from one in the forums thats off the international version?

I'm still on Nougat, only just got this phone 2 weeks ago. Coming from LG G6 where I felt the battery life was handled a bit better.

Debloated, using the Hybrid Stock Rom. Even with very few things handling sync and background notifications, I can pull about 4hours SOT. 1.5hours SOT sounds like you haven't gone through and disabled enough of the nonsense Samsung packs in. Or your phone isn't going into deepsleep.

Battery saver mode pushes me to about 5hrs SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Teiby:
Today 2.6h SOT, 75% to 32% = 43%

43% = 2.6h

100% = 6h
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] grigo1008:
I have automatically disalbed all bloatware through the app because i dont know which packages to diaable. I got the official Oreo update from samsung btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] destz0r:
My SOT is slightly better on Oreo than it was on Nougat. Getting around 5-6 hours SOT on WIFI, around 4 hours on 4G/LTE.

EDIT: some more details:

i always keep the following things ENABLED: wifi, data, bluetooth, AOD, location (high precision), auto brightness.

On the background i run apps such as whatsapp, telegram, viber, skype
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] magiin:
Similar here, with the new OTA Oreo update.

Pushed the phone to 0% and shutdown, recharged to full.

SOT at 5 hours 48 mins with 8% left. 4G only, havent used wifi at all.

So lets call it around 6+ hours.

Was barely able to do 5hours on Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Red Lava 60:
After oreo.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] magiin:
Under 3 hours SOT is pretty awful unless you've got a ton of sync enabled, battery draining apps normally running etc.

I'm currently sitting at 20% battery with 4hours 10 minutes SOT. Sync only enabled for calendar and people/contacts.

Otherwise not much else running background for sync/push/notifications.

Battery life was never amazing to begin with on this phone, but I feel like it's at least gotten slightly better/on par on Oreo, at least from my experience.

I really dk what is wrong, i formatted my phone 3 times....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
You should clear google play services cache - the battery drain seems too high for this process
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] magiin:
I've tried clearing google play's cache, and also disabling its "run in background" ability - nothing seems to get it's battery usage to drop.

Otherwise, this phone still runs about that amount of SOT time. But yea google play battery usage or drainage bug whatever it is, is still very present on Oreo.

If you've got any other suggestions (or specifics to disable/remove via application manager / adb shell uninstall) I'm happy to hear em
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] grigo1008:
I cant provide you with screenshots although I have some attemps in getting 3h+ sot on a single charge (which was hard because I had to recharge my phone through the day so it wouldnt die) because when I try to upload any screenshots to xda it just loads and says "Bad request". I even installed a black theme to save a bit more battery. In the stats I nogiced that I had a big drain caused by "cell standby" after Oreo. Sometimes it even uses up more battery than my screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fracarol:
Actually I discovered the cell standby issue some time after you reported your situation, I didn't think that could be the origin of your poor battery life, sorry. Anyway it's a common issue (I have it too), I hope the next firmware update will have it fixed. For now when possible I always stay in offline mode, when I switch it off I immediately see my phone heating more etc

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] J.Naw:
Everyone out here getting 5+ hours of SOT and i'm struggling to keep 2.5hours.

Although I am running Ivan_meelers LOS 15.1. May have to go back to touchwiz if this bad battery keeps up though..

Seems like Google Play Services is using a good chunk of battery as well though. Tried uninstalling with the Root system app uninstaller and it just crashes the app...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ToRRIIDeR:
Hey, i understand where you are coming from, to fix it 80% of the solution comes from not syncing email all the time and putting greenify. Brightness also plays a huge roll so it really depends on how you use your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Soufiansky:
I had the cell standby issue too, tried different roms and firmwares nothing helped,had to sell the device unfortunately..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fracarol:
Damn Samsung.. well now good luck with your next phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ds22:
After a day of heavy usage on stock Oreo firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] magiin:
Main culprit for me seems to be the google play services battery killer.

Otherwise, 5ish+ hours seems to be about normal. Clearing it's cache doesn't seem to be doing much in terms of helping me get its percentage down from being #1 on the battery usage list.

Great SoT on nougat

Hello community,

I just want to share my battery stats with you, My G935F (Exynos)updated to Oreo and despite i didn't see any cell standby battery drain, a percentage of the total battery consumption was missing after a full charge. I also notice a huge decrease in SOT, for a max of 4 - 4:30 SOT at best, for a mix of WIFI and 4G usage (never flight mode on).

So I downgraded and flashed the latest version of Nougat and right now, i enjoy 5:30 SOT and more than 6:30 if only in WIFI.

So, dump oreo, it just doesn't worth it.

Stock Samsung .Battery is 1 year old
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ToRRIIDeR:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] SavvyGamer5975:
For naptime u don't need root u can grant the secure settings permission access for the app via ADB the app tells how to do it as well

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] meyerweb:
I've gotten 5 hours SOT with nearly 50% left. I'm not into playing graphics intensive games, which I'm sure would drain the battery much faster, but this phone has the best battery life and SOT of any phone I've ever owned, for my usage. I've never gotten 5 hours SOT ever, much less with almost 50% left.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] torr310:
I really wish United States get the Exynos version because I browse online a lot.

By the way, there is no way the browsing could last as long as 10 hours compared to most users got 4 or 5 hours of screen on time. I am skeptic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Norbzzz:
I got myself a solid 48h of autonomy with normal use : a few hours of music streaming in a Bluetooth headset, couple hours of browsing, very little phone calls, probably less than an hour gaming, resulting in about 4h of SoT

No debloat but I prevented a few apps from using data while in background using the native options provided. Keeps Facebook apps from draining the battery as I hate constant notifications.

Exynos version here
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
it was my 1st proper day with the s7 yesterday, i had 3hr 55mins SOT, several calls, lots of whatsapp, facebook, facebook messenger, downloading apps... any tips
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] PlatinumNick:
no tips keep on doing what your doing its only been one day lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Penelope559:
I also prefer these answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
Today's flow
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Norbzzz:
Well, I can give you only general tips but ppl seems to forget them when they have a new phone ;)

First, cut down background data use (settings -> data use -> background data use, or something like that seems my phone is in french) for the apps you don't want to be constantly updating. I personnaly hate to get a notification from my twitter, facebook, instagram or whatever, I do want to have the app but only to use them when I feel like, not constantly reminded that I could miss something. Some people like those features, but it REALLY drains your battery down. This is actually a great tips for the apps that provide no settings to disable push sync (like facebook).

Same thing goes for the CPU usage background : settings -> battery -> details ont "per app settings". Put everything that don't need to run on background to "always" or something like that. 9gag running on background ? Well if you're the kind of following your upvote and ****, yeah sure, but for most of us, there is no need.

With those 2 native features, I ended up uninstalling greenify, because it's pretty much the same thing...

Last but not least : The Google Now feature. It's really great, sure, but it is REALLY a huge drain. People complaining about android OS taking to much battery should just shutdown google now and google now on tap. Worst battery consumption ever.

So to be fair, this is actually very obvious, and it really depends on your habbits. Everything is a compromise here...

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
Good post :good:

I too disabled google now and some other google apps, along with some other apps i don't need...

These are my results from yesterday:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
Is that s7 or edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Looks like its the S7 "flat".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
ment the sot fella, i know what the physical difference is
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Yeah, you asked if the screenshots Kemby13 posted were from the s7 or from the s7 edge. And I said its from the s7, I said "flat" so I don't confuse you but seems like I did :P.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] cheetah2k:
5hrs 10min, 7% left - facebook and messenger are complete power hogs...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
I have a regular S7 (exynos), srry i didn't feel the need to mention it because my signature says it all :)

Another thing i forgot to mention is my usage, so here it is: wifi was on the whole time, AOD too, 4g only for a few hours, auto brightness on, the rest you can see on the screenshots...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
Sorry didn't see sigs in the app thanks for the input. I'm getting around 4 hrs sot. I don't really want to turn everything off so will put up and shut upxxx
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kmckmc:
Im getting minimum 4hr to max 6hr sot so far, with standby of 20hr. Exynos 930w8, have not deactivated facebook and messenger.

Wifi, bt, nfc on. Always connected to my gear s2. Aod off. Location set to network only. Google now disabled. All syncs turned on. Disabled a few packages using package disabler but not a lot.

With the same usage pattern, I got 2~3hr sot with galaxy s6.

Very satisfied with s7 battery life so far. It reminds me of oneplus one when I first got it. Maybe a little better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gleggie:
I can only get about 4 hrs SOT on my Verizon S7. Not sure how some people are getting 6+ hrs SOT. Seems that Exynos variant gets better battery life than the SD820
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
Mines exynos and I'm getting 4 hrs too. I get People say turn everything off... why buy a phone to cripple it? It charges fast so I've no problem
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Johnny camaro:
The S7 is the best phone till now!

Having sync and location on, 2 mail accounts and my battery is not draining at all!

I flashed the BTU firmware ( Facebook and messenger are no system apps ) and optimize almost all my apps and using greenify ( paid version)

Now I'm on 50% and had 4.30 hours sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Macguyver:
Man, idk how you guys are getting that much SOT. I'm pretty stoked with getting 5 total as I was at just over 2.5 hours today at 50%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gleggie:
I would recommend uninstalling Facebook and messenger app and using an alternative app like metal or toffeed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gleggie:
Today I almost hit 6 hrs SOT after the OTA from Verizon with a "connectivity fix."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
Another. 80% screen brightness, couple hours or Pandora, couple hours of WiFi, hour of clash of clans, very heavy Internet use, and moderate use of YouTube
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StickyGeko:
That's the best I've had out of my s7 so far
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Johnny camaro:
If you are having G920F than flash BTU firmware, Facebook and messenger are not systems apps so you can optimize them!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rockster76:
I got 6 h 33 m on my first cycle with a mix of Wifi and 3G. I have the Exynos version

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] beezar:
Would you guys mind posting if you have Exynos or Snapdragon when you post stats? Seems to be make a big difference
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
If "Screen" is the first on top its the Exynos, if "Android System" and "Android OS" are on top its the SD820. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] sacnotsack:
Is dungeon keeper like the pc version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
Downloaded greenify, package disabler pro and tweaked some apps and settings. Received 6.5 screen on time today with over 8 hours of Bluetooth on, 80% screen brightness, and couple hours of Pandora. I had WiFi and location settings off though. Seems like the phone even has more potential.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
Haha, in short yes... It's similar but than again it has some diferences...

Definitely twice as good as my S6 from last year
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
Yes LTE 100% of the time. Gonna do more testing and I'll post the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Well my experiences with the S7 Exynos are :

- stock : very good battery life / standby time, and >7 hours SoT (for screenshots see an earlier post of mine)

- rooted my phone (CF Auto Root) : max 5-5,5 hours SoT and less battery life / standby time than on stock

- went back stock (flashed stock FW) : now once more I have excellent battery life/standby times and >7 hours SoT

Conclusion...not sure ;) Never before have I experienced rooted phone with less battery life and SoT than on stock rom :eek: Very weird...but stock rom is fine by me (for now until custom roms are available)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] nosrace:
I dont use much apps... 6-7 third party... Disabled all i could do from bloatware i dont need. And no games.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] alexokanenas:
Weird that you say you dont use much apps and disabled all bloatware. Maybe you use 4G/3G a lot?

Do you use App Power Saving for your apps that you dont use a lot? (Smart Manager > Battery> App Power Saving > Change Setting to > ''Save Power'')

Does your phone's battery last easily one full day of use? If yes, then it sounds that you are all good :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jboodram:
Everything is stock! Not rooted. I've been getting amazing battery life with this exynos version. The following are my results from a full day of heavy use.

*No power saving features

*brightness between 35-60% throughout the day

*75% wifi 25% data.

*location turned off.

I'm pretty sure on a really heavy day I can get my screen on time to easily cross 7.5 hrs with a standby time of maybe 11-12hrs.

Snapdragon version has a locked down bootloader so no root there (at least for now, and maybe forever) . Exynos version can be unlocked and therefore rooted

So i fell asleep with my phone streaming a twitch stream. I woke up and I had 5 hrs SOT usage (i turned off the screen in the middle of the night) at 36% left. I typically only get 4hrs SOT on the SD820 variant. This leads me to think about the potential this phone could have if we had root/custom kernel to tweak the kernel and disable things like touchboost.
