I don't understand why I can't use auto adjust option in gallery for photos taken with motion photo feature on... anyone??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S7 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] s3icc0:
charging speed is fine, but anyway after quick charging the phone has like 20-30% less battery life ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] JS_racer:
what ???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] s3icc0:
I am saying that battery life is incredible ... but I noticed when I charge the phone using fast charging from like 10% to 100% then it is loosing capacity much faster ... that is it ... I am still satisfied
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] JS_racer:
Interesting, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] xaaronfx:
I disabled fast charging since on my S6 Active it used to make the phone insanely hot and actually started burning the cable at the point where it connected to the phone.

That being said, I'm actually really impressed how fast this phone charges with just a usb cable from a computer or car usb port. Very fast charging without 'fast charging' enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] GusAle96:
Charging speed.

There is only a 10 minutes difference between fats charging on and off on my s7. Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:
It charge 0-60% quick but after that it charge normal speed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] igor.brasildroid:
I've also noticed that.. I thought was something with me, or it was just a feeling from myself!

But now I've seen more people dealing with same "problem" (if we can put it that way)!

When I charge with Fast Charging ENABLE, the S7 seems to drain battery faster then when I charge with Fast Charging DISABLE!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:
Totally agree! I had SOT time till yesterday about 2-3h...and yesterday i had to charge my phone with regular 2A 5V charger at work...takes 30 minutes more time but SOT was allmost 7 hours :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] liteon163:
I'm not comfortable with how hot my phone gets while fast charging. Reading this, I'll try turning it off. I'm also uncomfortable with how hot wireless charging makes my phone. I doubt I'll use it much unless the micro USB port goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] TYGER1985:
How much time do you keep your phone in charging?

Mine is charging in 1 hour and 45 minutes, but i keep it 2 hours. ( I disabled Fast Charging )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] connectandroid:
maybe to reduce heat, don't wait until phone is <66% battery level to charge it up ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] BitFeed:
About 1h wifi charging
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] andycohui:
Using QC2.0 charger is really quick.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] mastermind34:
Charges pretty fast, I turned off quick charging because my phone gets very warm.

10% in about 10-20 minutes?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] psy07:
I use volt meter with fast charge on get arount 1.7a and with fast charge off around 1.3a. It's pretty fast even fast charge is off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] JaeMelo:
What wireless charger are you guys using?! Specifically you guys with hot phones. The reason I ask is because my s6 use to get hot using the standard samsung fast wireless charging pad. Now with the newer Samsung fast wireless charging stand it is cooler to touch. I also noticed there is a fan runing being the pad.

Perhaps the fan is helping keeping the phone cooler then other pads?!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] maik005:
But, with fast charge it uses about 9 volts wich means a max of about 15 watt.

without fast charge it uses about 5 volts which means a max of about 6,5 watt

So less then half max power without fast charge..

I haven´t seen the phone getting more then 1,4 amps on 5 volt even with stock charger..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] psy07:
Just nowI tried and get this. No idea @@
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Davebnly:
I just find it best to use the standard charging. Battery life is much better from a trickle charge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] destroyletter:
will it damage the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] TheRuan:
Nope, unless u live in a really hot place, fast charging heats up the battery a bit more, that is supposed to be like that due to higher current.

Some people have said that after that the battery capacity is reduced, I haven't tested this yet, but this isn't supposed to happen, there must be something not correctly configured in the rom, kernel or the phone itself, a battery life is only reduced due to long term usage, if u try overcharge the battery or if the current going in is higher than it's supposed to be(which could also result in explosion and i highly doubt they would allow such risk).

I got my father's phone two days ago, i installed Superman rom, i hope this doesn't happen, i'm try to check battery volts after each type of charging.

Soon we may see more details/fixes for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] darkinners:
I just love quick charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] nickyjeff:
Compared to the S6 which doesn't charge (25% in 5hrs) when plugged into a pc, how does the S7 fare?

Tested a friend's exynos model, seems it's got the same issue, is the qualcomm model same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Derpenson:
Exactly what happened to me, phone was fine when i got it. but as soon as i flashed it, i experienced device starts to heat in less than 5 min as soon as i activate the wifi and battery life got crappy. i flashed a samsung stock rom donwloaded from sammobile, but that didn't change a thing :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] silk186:
This whole thread is a bit concerning. I have an S7 on its way and was thinking to give wireless charging a try. I flash roms on all my previous phone but have been noticing that my s4 gets pretty hot running games. I was going to pick up a CHOE QI 2016 and realized that i need to pay a lot more for the fast charge version and came across this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] stealthsammy:
Gotta appreciate the fast charge feature over the standard 3hrs or so to recharge

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Djuganight:
very fast charging with original charger and cable
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Cyn1:
Very fast. 'Ampere' shows up to 2.5A on stock charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
yes thats true quick charging drains the battery comparatively quickly than the normal charging!

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

absolutely normal

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

thats a myth, time for change in opinion, if you fast charge it, it fast drains, if you normal charge it increases battery life!

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

wireless charging seems not a very useful option. who keeps the phone every now and then on charging, you charge it for an hour and 15 mins using the traditional charger method, and use your phone for 17-18 hours. frequent charging js not recommended also as it impacts the battery life of your phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] TheRuan:
That isn't a myth, i guess u need to go back to study law of physics, think like this, a battery is a tank in which u fill with energy, if u fill a tank with 1000 liters/ hour it doesn't mean that when u use it will drain faster, but it means that if u push more pressure than the tubes can handle they will crack, if u try to fill more than the tank can handle it will also crack.

Energy itself is measure in watts, if u pull in 3 amps in 3.6~3.7v battery(which have final charged state at 4.5v +/-) it means u are filling it at 13.5 watts/hour, if u fill it at 1 amp, it's just 4.5watts/hour.

Most batteries say they are 4000 mah, well, it actually means that the battery can handle (in the case of 4.5v batteries) 4.5v * 4 amp = 18 watts in total.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
you dont need to recommend to me, what i have to study, this is not your forums, it is a public forum!

fact is, what i mentioned is right, you fast charge it, drains faster!! so all your facts mentioned above ultimately prove wrong in case of samsung galaxy s7... if you dont believe it, go try it, why waste time replying to my comments and show how good your physics is!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] TheRuan:
Fact? cause u think it, no proof at all, no reason to explain your point, fact is your comments are a waste of readers time, and i stated the reasons which makes it a fact.

Not my physics, laws don't change for me or anyone...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
I don't think your battery drains any faster if you fast or slow charge the battery, the power consumption of the phone remains the same, and the capacity of the battery remains the same, they are the two factors which determine battery life, not the speed you charge the battery

It is possible the lifetime of the battery is reduced by fast charging, but not the drain speed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
ya recommending other readers to study physics on a mobile phone forums is not a good pass time either!

everything does not require a proof, to keep it simple!

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

google it more, you will find the fact to be true!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Google will show you whatever you want to see, I could google "Schwarzenegger dead" and it will show me an article about his death

I don't need to google it, I have used fast charge and slow charge and noticed no difference in drain speed

Show me a real study with accurate results on a chart of Normal vs Fast charge battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
sometimes you have to believe google.

friend i will show you real study in a couple of days, i will share the battery usage log w/ and w/o fast charging on my normal use!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Looking forward to it

For it to be accurate, you would need to charge phone from 0% > 100% using Fast & Normal speed charging, and then run the exact same apps in a loop (Play a video until battery dies) on each
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
it doesnt work that way, battery would be charged from empty to full for sure.

apps usage would be random!

all the required screenshots would be shown!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Random app usage = void test

If you're going to prove your point, all usage must be identical
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
im a normal user, i will test based on normal usage, you may draw conclusions, based on the screenshots that i share, to keep it simple. i have, got a phone, for my use and not to, prove a point here, by running some video continuously!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Well, without a valid test there's no point in posting anything

My battery drain varies depending on what I do with the phone day to day

One day it might be 4 hours SoT, next day might be 6 hours SoT

If you can not back up your claim, and want to post biased results, which they will be as you are not going to post results contradicting your claim, then don't bother

If you are 100% sure you are correct you would run controlled tests to ensure all is identical other than fast vs normal charging techniques

If you will not do this, it only confirms that you know you will be proven wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] JS_racer:
so turning off fast wireless charging will have a battery last longer than if i use fast wireless ??

only in the car some times do i plug a cable into the phone for charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] danci1973:
Not all 'USB Detectors' are 'quick-charge' compatible. I have two different models and only one of them does (Uni-T UT658 - sorry, can't post links yet)

However... Using an USB tester I found out that my S7 only uses 9 volts with the screen off. If I unlock the phone, the voltage switches back to 5V.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:

Happy enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] vhc:
4+ sot with auto brightness. About 1.5 hrs of deezer and 1hr of hearthstone.

Rest is twitch and a bit of browsing.

Also 1hr+ calls
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] torr310:
I heard that Exynos has better scores on running browsers.

So the Snapdragon may not last as long as Exynos when browsing? Did I interpret it.correctly?

I use my phone very heavy on web browsing and I am on Verizon network using S6 currently. The rooted S5 runs smoother than unrooted S6 and lasts longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Lucoso46:
Maybe but dipends on the usage.

As the Note 4 with the Exynos a lot of people got very good battery life, even little bit more than snapdragon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
[MENTION=5218219]jboodram[/MENTION] No, all OK with his phone. You can see my sot from last full charge with about 12hours of 4g connection and then Wi-Fi until now:

Trimis de pe al meu SM-G930F folosind Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
I think your phone has a problem, my S7 is hot only after ~30 mins of gaming, in normal use it stays at 25-30 degrees. For example, I charged my phone some hours ago and now, after 1h of SoT I have 90% battery left and I watched a video on YouTube for about 40mins. So I think you have to send your device to Samsung service or return it and buy another one, maybe you have more luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kev1000000:
Can you download CPU-Z from the Play Store and let me know how many cores are active during idle and what their rough frequency is?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
Yes, you can see in the screenshot:

And all time in idle (except when I take the print screen) core 4 and core 5 are staying at 728Mhz, 0, 1, 2, 3 are staying at 442Mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jelousov:
helppp

Why does my battery suck compared to others? Got my galaxy S7 yesterday from Verizon. Tried to go full day today and see battery performance, and its ass. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong because i haven't watched a single video, haven't played a single game. All I've been doing is some Snapchat and like 90 min of music listening. Is there a way to fix this bs? I am at 11% at 5pm and I have only 2 hours of Screen on Time. 11 hours since last full charge. Android System at 26%, Snapchat at 21%, Screen at 13% and Android OS at 11%. Barely used any other apps and even if i did, it well def below a minute for each. I have Nova installed, pretty dark background, like 90% of the day stayed on Wi-Fi. Brightness was always at auto. I would consider this medium use and its getting 2hrs of SOT. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Did u install the latest update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jelousov:
My phone came with 6.0.1 already installed. I still checked for updates just in case, and it said I am up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] joebro84:
I stream radio and occasionally surf the web all day at work. When I had my S4 I had to switch out batteries three times a day. The battery in my S7 lasts all day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
I'd read the numerous threads on the battery drain topics if I were you. Seems like the Verizon model of the S7 has the absolute worst battery life. Start with the basics. There's a couple people that have the Snapdragon variant of the S7 and they have 5+ hours on screen time with wifi, bluetooth, and location on. Find the users and send them a PM to see exactly what they have done
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
Snapchat is a ****, this app drain the battery as f*ck..but I have 4 hours of SoT even if I use it. And also, I get usually about 6 hours of SoT with 4g for more than 4 hours and the rest on Wi-Fi. And also location on, sync 4 accounts mail once per hour, Facebook, talking with friends on Messenger and a normal theme, with a normal background, brightness at auto and without battery saver activated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
Another one today. I noticed Pandora destroys your battery but other than that battery is beastly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ArnaudDev:
Hello everyone!!

Regarding battery life, I usually get from 4 to 5 hours of screen on time with about 50% of the capacity drained by the screen with 1h30 to 2h spent playing clash royale, browsing the web, apple music, playing with the camera.... I use a black theme (that helps ah ah) and the brightness is about 35% inside and always 100% outside. Wifi at home, carrier's network outside (terrible where I live...).

But I have one question which is: Is the computed capacity used in mah accurate? For example with about 50% of battery used by the screen, I should get about 1500 mah used by the screen but the result is about 800 mah O_o. I know the computed capacity used is an approximation but the result is far from being equal to the theoretical result... Did you notice the same thing?

Wish you all a nice day!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Lucoso46:
I think yes, because there all other things that consume more that the screen
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ArnaudDev:
[MENTION=7137826]Lucoso46[/MENTION]

I forgot to mention that I gave stats in mah when the phone is around 1% so 50% of battery used by the display should be equivalent to 1500 mah but it's not. But if there are some tasks that use more juice than screen, why aren't they mentioned in battery details?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fredriks:
I had problem with my battery life. The last thing I did was update my Asus router with a beta software I found on Asus support site. After upgrade I got an amazing battery (so far)
