[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
Turn that ****ty Edge clock off, turn off the GPS/locations when you're not using it. It shouldn't drain more than 1-2% over 8+ hours. If your cellular coverage is bad, it'll drain the battery faster since it'll ping the cell towers all the time. That's not a device specific issue, but just how today's tech is.

It's outright impossible to say what the issue with your device is though since we don't have access to your device, and we have no freaking clue how you use it on a daily basis. It could be a user issue (i.e it's your own fault because you've installed some crappy apps), or it's a pure device software issue that Samsung caused. Calling the S7 a POS product when you're one of few people experiencing this issue is pretty laughable though. You're one of millions of S7 users, and they all suck because yours is having some issues? Right.

If you're desperate, do a factory reset, and do NOT install all your apps right away. Don't install any apps for the next 24 hours, go to bed and see how much has been lost through the night. Still more than a few percent? Okay, it could be your coverage? How many bars do you have? 0? 1? Okay, so that's the issue. 2+? Okay, it's something else. If it doesn't drain as much, congrats, it's an app from the Play Store that's the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sahil sharma:
First things first i didnt call s7 a POS product. So next times onwards avoid expeessing your own frustration by misreading comments.

The phone is suffering from pathetic standby draina and yes i am nott alone. Maybe it works for you as you might be keeping your phone swtiched off.

I dont have any crappy apps. However if you consider fb, mc5, as crappy and reason for battery drain, then i wonder why i should even buy this smartphone.

Secondly, i have gps set to only wifi and cellular, i have no cellular issues and my edge clock and AOD is off.

Thank you, however for your response. Might take it to samsung and see what they have to say.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
News flash, Facebook IS a crappy app. Use the mobile site (m.facebook.com) if you can, and enable notifications in Chrome. So, just to make this clear, the main Facebook app is a horrible horrible app, coded by imbeciles. The FB Messenger app on the other hand is much better, and I use it 24/7 without any excessive battery drain, so try using the FB Messenger app + the mobile Facebook site with Chrome notifications enabled.

Also, the S7 Edge has a 3600 mAh battery, and I and a lot of people around here can testify that the battery is amazing. Just check the battery life thread with over a thousand posts. Also, read the hundreds of reviews out there that praise the battery. You're probably the 1% that has hardware issues that causes excessive battery drain. If this is the case, then replace it. But I would seriously do a factory reset (after backing things up), and just use it 100% stock without installing ANY app from the Play Store for 24 hours, just to see what happens. Can you do that? If no, you're on your own. This is how troubleshooting works. We have to narrow down the problem, since it could literally be anything right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sahil sharma:
Yes i know fb is crap. Even on my iPhone, i used it on chrome. Let me try with factory reset tonight. Will update here tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ausboy 2011:
ive reverted back to APAW and have zero sleeping issues. unlike APDN or APD1 and even APEK/APE9 they all have android os drain. downgrade rom and wait until issues fixed. this is what i recommend! exynos models only
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
Yeah, it's most likely an issue caused by the one of the updates we got, but it looks like it only affects a small group of people. Samsung has been very good at pushing monthly updates with bugfixes and security updates since launch, so let's hope, or assume that we'll receive a new update next week. We got the May update around this time last month, so let us cross our fingers and wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ausboy 2011:
It affects alot of people man its stupid

Im back on apaw and sot is 10 hours and about 2 days usage
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Natschlaus:
I have exactly 1%/hour drain over night with AOD on, so its like expected.

Usually drain happens from various apps that arent programmed well.

Should you have for example Facebook, deactivate it and install a third party app like metal or just use the browser version.

Also after getting the phone I updated (ota) and then did a factory reset, since android for me never handled ota updates well in the long term.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] alexchiuaua:
I bought an s7 edge SM-G935FD last week and I must say I was impressed of the battery life,lasting almost 2 days with everything on except AOD. But 2 days ago I got the ota update and now its awful. The battery drains pretty fast. This morning went to work at 6 am with 90% and at 10 am had 55% without using the phone too much, just some Facebook, chrome and amazon app. I made a factory reset and disabled google voice recognition from every screen,and seems that now the battery drain stopped,at least doesn't drain that much like this morning. Anyway,hope that samsung will make another update to fix this. Buying a 700 euros phone and need to disable a lot of third party app to spare some battery seems madness :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] pigmich:
The standby battery drain is really piss me off, since I rootedthe phone, I Clean flashed Echoe Rom V10 (Base On APER) and AEL Kernel, then the problem started to happen. I sleep around 8 hours per night, and the phone lose 4-5% battery (Wifi On, 3G/ 4G OFF, Location Service OFF, SYNC ON), I did many things such as debloat, install some xposed module such as greenify, power nap, amplify, fine-tune the kernel and tried to get it better but ALL NO LUCK FOR ME and I really don't know what to do right now......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
And you say 4, 5% per 8h with wifi on is bad..?i would say its good.

I maybe lose 3 % everything off.

Did you try airplane mode.?

The phone has to consume something with Wi-Fi on.

And the signal consume too.

Turn off the wifi if you are sleeping what do you need it for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] pigmich:
The problem is I do using the customer ROM, customer Kernel and sort of xposed module which aim for power saving, so I think the result is bad for me.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sahil sharma:
If these results are bad for you, think about us mortals who lose 10-15% overnight.

Using a smartphone with all smart features turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well i think is from the system not our apps, i reboot to safe mode and let a couple of hours with everything off and the drain is there.

Or samsung fix it or people root it.

Edit.

Without sim card the standby is good, most of the times the signal is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Kc0r8y:
Why bother buying a phone with a ton of features to do nothing more then turn them all off? Overall I personally think the is by far the worse phone on battery I have owned and believe me I have owned 15+ phones over the past few years. I can't even get a day out of this phone, my Note 3 had better battery life with the same apps installed and running....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
And the note 3 battery is better than the note 4?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Kc0r8y:
I was able to get a full days use out of both those phones with general use. I had my S7 Edge off of the charger for about an hour during my ride to work and it dropped 5%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nminhcuong:
3G off, Wifi off, Location off, AOD off : 2~3% for 8 hours.

3G on, Wifi on, Location on, AOD on: 7~8% for 8 hours.

The most consumes battery are wifi and signal (dual sims)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well or your note has the best battery ever or the s7 edge is crap.

Because i had a lot of phones too and i have now s7 edge and note 4 and even note 4 with lollipop doesn't get near to the s7 edge,

This phone has the best battery i ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Kc0r8y:
My S7 edge has been off the charger for 1 hour and 20 minutes and all I have done is check my email 2 (minutes) and it's down to 92%. Android System and Android OS is taking 70% of the drain.

What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Are you on 4G.?

Usually Android OS is higher is 4G And Android system in wifi.

This is my first charge after change for a new s7 edge.

I dont update, i leave APC8

Make 35minutes sot in wifi until 95% and now just 4G.

Everyone always get android OS higher if you leave 4G on and don't touch the phone.

If you always have the screen at first it seems OS it drain less.

But its a M software problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skivnit:
If you install bbs u can see that anfroid os bug is caused by ssp wakelock which is related to data
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I know but i Can't root my phone i need with warranty.

And need data always on.

Last m twice s6 its good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BoyMonsteR:
For me S7 edge is far better from my old note 4. Battery life is superb, i arrived home from work still i have 60% left in my battery. Before i sleep i still have 20% after 5+ hours screen time. Applications i used mostly FB, viber, whatsup, email, browser and messenger. So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well today charge 100 reboot left a while with wifi on

And check the battery and i say wtf, never show this before,

Does anyone.?

Drain 2 % 20 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Vanja99:
Android system usage 31% and Android system stay awake 6h out of 7h off charger. WIFI, BT and DATA turned on, AOD turned off. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] vkwan:
For me the biggest drain is from AOD as I turned it off and after 2 hrs only drained 3% while having AOD on would easily drain 3% per hr
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GoMoeJoe:
I want this !

What's your secret ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I fall a sleep with wifi on its seems the standby is not so bad.

Around 4h 2%
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Mr. Gold:
some things that might help:

disable Facebook app & other apps you don't use/need

turn off location when not in use

turn off NFC when not in use

when on WiFi turn off Mobile Data

turn off Bluetooth and WiFi scanning (to stop apps scanning in the background, apps scan even when Bluetooth & WiFi are Off)

turn off Nearby Device Scanning

Google Services Drain

Hey guys, mine was all normal until yesterday evening and this happens...Apparently Google Play Services is draining the standy. Can you show me some pointers that can fix this?

Attached is the screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
This night i turn on Airplane Mode just to see and sleep 5h and drain 1%

So far nothing draining, and with airplane mode off may 2 3 %over night.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] laving1977:
It used to drain sometimes for 20% or more over night and device was hot as hell.

What I discovered was that the Android service, Google and UI process took most of the battery.

So i changed the theme from ShineBlack to Sevenabstract and all my problems wanished.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GoMoeJoe:
Seriously?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
3% for 7h. Its the same as APC8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] fulcrum99:
Is this good? Mine also drains 3% in 7h with wifi,data and bt off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Is not bad compare to 20 or more some guys have.

Better only airplane mode.

Problem here is Marshmallow.

In my note4 with lollipop standby was 1% 4 5h. Stock.

S7 edge have a great battery last me almost twice s6 i had.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] laving1977:
Yes. I thought in the beginning that it was this Heroes game that was preinstalled, as I played it a bit. But after changing the theme I got rid of some laginess as well. I think there might be something with the black theme :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GoMoeJoe:
I guess I will have to try this out. Maybe you're on to something ... :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] freezingpoint:
After an update, I am having issues with the standby drain with wifi.

At home, it's perfectly fine (like before the update) where it drops 1% after 3-4 hours. At work, it goes down 1% every 20-30 minutes. Still can't figure out how or why. I had no issues before updating it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Security555:

]Getting pretty heavy drain with Spotify and the usual Android system. Using Tkkg1994's Superman 1.8 ROM but from what Ive read its common across all ROMs after the APC8 update....

Can anyone else confirm if they are getting huge Spotify drain (27% over 3 hours) with only 1 hour of actual playing

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Tyronne43:
Hi guys,

Is anyone else experiencing a battery drain due to people edge?

I've disabled all edge screen features except edge lighting but in the past 3 and a half hours People Edge has used 38% of my total battery usage.

My phone is rooted and I'm using Renovate Edge 2.1 from.

I have Xposed Framework installed with about a dozen mods.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] whatwhatster:
I throw the towel in with my S7 Edge and nothing works for me, screen on and using the phone = 1% in 10 minutes maybe and standby drain is between 20% & 30% overnight.

Samsung isn't really helpful and I don't get it what the others are sharing and how awesome there battery life is.

I am again back on G935FXXU1APBF and this one doesn't have the drain and every other update until today after this gives me the drain issue.

In my updates I tried everything possible, clean install, Google backup off, minimal configuration etc and only thing what solves it is back to G935FXXU1APBF.

So now you have a phone you cannot update and need to stick to old firmware so this is extreme annoying, Samsung service says they update with Odin and so the only option is to send it in and I bet I will get it back just updated so done that already anyway it is interesting that one group has the issue and the other group have the drain issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gpap2004:
Exynos with Cosmote variant. Latest June update. Android system keeps awake my phone almost all the time. The only way to move this issue away is to restart my phone immediately after unplug it fromantic charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] davidmejiam7:
Would you mind telling me how to achieve 0% drain. Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
Exynos on June update here too, and standby drain is just fine. I doubt there's a system issue since most people on the June update is reporting great battery life, so it's probably an app that keeps the phone awake.

ForceDoze app

Hi guys, I own a T-Mobile S7 Edge, and it's pretty awesome?. I too had problems with the battery life, but I solved them by disabling some stuff in ez disabler and installing an app called ForceDoze. Here's my 9 hours standby losing only 2%, damn!! And I'm a really a heavy user, snapchat, instagram, facebook, messenger, youtube, games, etc.. Hope this app helps you too!

Really hoping they update the base soon as I cant even get a day out of mine atm :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Magnifik81:
For the mediaserver try and disable touch sounds, keyboard sound, camera shutter sound, locking sound etc. Then reboot. If that doesn't help, then go to Applications, in system apps wipe data of 'Media Storage', then reboot. For the Google services fix, you have an app on GP called 'GFix'. And last but not least, hit the thanks button if it works, cheers!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] KevinMc33:
Thanks for the feedback mate. Already have all the sounds disabled as I hate them anyway! Also Ive already cleaned out the cache and data on the media storage process a few times now. Could be something to do with the amount of files I have on my SD (north of 80GB). I might just have to trim the fat and see if that works. Is the app you're referring to called GService Fix? I have installed this and will await further testing.

Are u on stock rom and kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GoMoeJoe:
If you have security software enable (Lookout or something else...) and it's scanning on a some scheduled basis,

a stuffed SD storage space being scanned will be a huge battery drain on top of any scanning of the internals.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Joao Oliveira:
Standby drain is usually apps. on my case was, as it has been for years , over different devices Google Music. If you don't use it disable it . If you do complain to google. I've done it dozens of times over the years. The don't seem to care.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] KevinMc33:
No, Im on the Superman 1.8.1 ROM using the SuperKernel. I want to add it to my sig when I get it after 10 posts so that I dont have this confusion.

I dont believe I have security apps running scans. Not a big fan of antivirus on Android, preferring the common sense approach (reputable sources etc)

Installed the G Servie Fix and its definitely helped. Android System is down under 10% atm. Still in the top 3 but definitely getting less % per hour drain

Hey guys. I read quite a bit but could find any reasonable answers. I've got an Edge S7 and the battery goes quicker than my old S5. I still can't find out why.. The phone is unrooted and for now i prefer not to do it to avoid losing the warranty. The android system drains quite a big chunk and it seems the phone doesn't go to deep sleep if the app I'm using can be trusted. Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Try ACP8 and reboot after charge it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ShaMana999:
I've done that before on my S5 but still not sure if there is no change. Changing the firmware with odin to another official one will not break KNOX and trigger the 0x1 marker, correct?

Another thing ACP8 you were refering to a firmware right? I can't find reference to that firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
The firmware is for s7 edge exynos 935F

And will not trigg your warranty .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ShaMana999:
I can't seem to be able to find that firmware. Sammobile doesn't have it seemingly and in XDA there are some separate references here and there. What locale is that version?

"ForceDoze" app on our phone will extend you battery life by 50% to 100%!

Will work with root & non root phones, although on the non root you will need to use some adb commends as per the instructions in the app setup.

Works wonder for me...

Usually in standby my battery goes down (on average) 2% per hour, with ForceDoze it goes down (on average) 5% per 5 hours!
