8 hours SOT

Recently I got 8 hours SOT and battery running for 1 day 18 Hrs. after factory reset/ wipe cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] y300owner:
Was power save mode on and low brightness?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Of course I get like 900mah power usage with 4 hours. He used minimum brightness for sure.

Same here. I regularly get around 8 hours SOT with 24 to 30 hours on battery. - Auto brightness at around 40-45%, WiFi on, location off, power saver coming in at 15%.

I have posted screen shots previously.

Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Exynos too, and I have done this test with 2 phones

I'm getting pretty good battery life. around 6-7 hours sot. I switch on power saver around 30%. I'm using an unlocked Verizon phone on At&t. And on this particular day I used almost 3 hours of talk time. I'll tell everyone one thing I've noticed in maximizing screen on time, don't use chrome! I've been using Opera on my phone and Windows tablet and have noticed an improvement in battery life on both. I always have brightness set to auto and I'm not rooted or running any battery savers. If you notice I still have 15% remaining but I couldn't stay up any longer!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mattegp:
Hi, today I had this SOT with my s7 edge exynos, I only got 6h and 20 minutes with 13h of usage.....is this normal? I have 92 user apps installed including whatsapp, telegram, instagram, snapchat and so on...I have 4G on all time except when I have WIFI on (4 hrs today), GPS off, NFC off, brightness auto, sync on. Do I have a normal battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
I really like those SOTs, but they are so nonsense if all the traffic is wifi, a real life test is made by wifi+cellular traffic, and if it is so, please, post those values.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
Disagree.

Like I said, I did post screen shots before. Wifi & cellular. 7.5 to 8.5 hours SOT and 30hours plus on battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] contrinsan:
Today i was a little bored so i decided to test how long the screen can be on before the battery is empty.

@ 50% i was almost at 7 hours on screentime. Total on screentime almost 12 hours 30

I am officially amazed.

- stock rooted with a lot of xposed modules, adblock & lot's off apps installed.

- 4 email adress in samsung email app, skype & whatsapp. Location, bluetooth, mobile & wifi on, everything autosync

- Total real use (phonecalls, internet, email, playing games) for less then 2 hours, the other time the phone was on homescreen with live wallpaper (aquarium with fish)

- 1 hour on LTE, all other time on Wifi.

- (auto)screen brightness @ 50%

- no Power saving enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] golfinggino:
for the guys posting the really high sot times what do you have your display set to turn off at - I am thinking it is 5 or 10 minutes and you are not really using the phone at all. I am running superman rom with prometheis v1.0 with a 12 mv undervolt, I am connected with Bluetooth to my gear s all day half wifi and half lte although I never get full lte signal average 1 to 2 bars - not sure why my nexus 6 is at full bars in the same areas. screen brightness on auto at 80% and location generally on. Today I am at 5 hours sot with 24% battery remaining - to me this is really good - my display is set to turn off at 15 seconds. not sure how some are getting 8 hours sot ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] lmvg96:
Thank god I have the exynos version, battery life is all for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
Yes. Certainly worth the tiny payoff in performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] contrinsan:
I am using an always on app from the playstore so i have 12+ hours nonstop screentime without screen going off, as mentioned in my post most of the time it was on homescreen running a live wallpaper with fish in an aquarium.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
Screen off after 1 minute of inactivity.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Fl1nt91:
Stock latest firmware

Normale battery saving

80℅ time on 4G

Lot of time under the day light

30 minutes calling

I have to say that about 2 ours of SOT was made in the night reading a guitar chords app (even in 4G)

Amazing phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
How Sot coud be low with different usage.

30 minutes with calling messenger in 4G drop 15% drain more than playing games.

And normal calls drain too.

Bad signal drain a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] joeyac02:
damn what do you have diabled and debloated
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] joeyac02:
have a debloat or disabled list?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tasgr86:
That's quite normal if your usage.Since your are using your 4G connection with Sync it's more than good.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] y300owner:
I still haven't Figured out how you guys are getting such incredible screen on time.

Exynos s7 edge and still only managing to get four sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Same here

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
Looks like brightness plays a big factor. I'd imagine a lot of the high sot numbers are folks that do a lot of reading on their device and perhaps keep the brightness down low. Of course resource hungry apps will lead to a different result. But if you just read XDA all day and other light usage (but screen on usage none the less) you can achieve high numbers. I've had days like this many times..

Just don't worry or think your device is any worse off. As long as it's sleeping correctly, you're usage will vary like anyone elses. I don't think any one is gonna post their sot when they game all day. It would be very different.

..enjoy the device how YOU like to. Keep wakelocks in check by monitoring apps with wld if you thinks it's not sleeping correctly, and keep in mind what apps you're using. Some are hungry apps like Snapchat.

And also, lower the brightness just enough to be comfortable. High brightness drains.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Boldizzle:
This is with medium brightness(until 5% when it drops the brightness) and just standard phone use. Facebook, FB Messenger, DS emulator, Pokemon Go, Boost for Reddit.

No custom rom, stock standard. Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Good troll
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Boldizzle:
Um okay?

If you don't get those results from stock, sucks to be you but don't assume I'm lying because you're less fortunate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Man this is my 3rd s7 edge. No one will trust this bull****. 9 hours screen time with pokemon go + 32 hours standby is coompletely ridiculous

Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Its missing some screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Boldizzle:
I had minimal Pokemon Go play time, it wasn't like I played it for a solid hour or anything. I don't really care if you believe me or not though to be honest, I'm just posting my results. If you don't like them or believe them, then if that helps you sleep at night then more power to you.

On a side note, how the hell are you up to your third s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
This sot is on wifi or 4G.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Boldizzle:
Mostly wifi but otherwise 4G when I was away from wifi.

Honestly it was a bizarre occurrence because I had previously got 7-7hrs30mins max so I don't know what the hell made this scenario so different other than the fact that this time I switched Always On Display off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
I had to rma them due to some problems. No one of them lasted more than 6sot max
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Boldizzle:
That sucks. Honestly though, I'm not trolling. I've been hanging around these forums since 2011 and I have no reason to troll people here.

I used to see people get phenomenal battery life from their S3 back in the day while mine would only get 1 third of the amount of screen on time in comparison so it shocks me to finally be one of those people that happens to have got a really good battery in my S7 E.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Rhambuss:
I don't even worry about my screen on time. There's a reason why we have fast charging and battery saver modes. The battery life is more than sufficient to get you through heavy use throughout your work day. I'll take my phone off charge in the morning and text throughout the day as well as browse some Facebook, and by the time I get off work around 5 PM I'll still be rocking at 75-80% battery. These batteries aren't designed to last you from 100%-0% for 12+ hours of screen on time simply due to the way lithium ion batteries actually work. And you should be charging your battery frequently in small amounts throughout the day if you are an extremely heavy user, and trying to at least keep your battery above 50%, as this allows your battery to keep a better charge.

Its just wow.. just got my s7 edge G935FD yesterday and 1st battery cycle is amazing..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Patozandoval17:
I'm Root User and kill all Apps that I not use, I win 1 more hour of SOT, 8 hours!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] m.4_ts@yahoo.com:
Im on stock rom, non-rooted.. 1day old device.. hope it would last like this..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] teksin:
Hello which kernel and rom ? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] thegame2388:
I get 3 hours SOT. That's it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
It could be worse.

Not by much mind :D

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Joking aside :) you really need to give more information and post some screen shots. Otherwise your stated figures make little sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Masterfellow:
I was surprised to be honest. Whole day full brightness, 4G, location, nfc, syncing, just everything what normal user needs and got almost 6hrs SOT.

G935F, Vodafone UK, no battery saving.

Little bit of gaming through the day and mainly youtube/facebook/messanger/gmail etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BigDoun2011:
,5 hours 20 minutes till now with battery safe mode... Browsing WhatsApp and a little bit Pokémon go

. 70% WiFi 30% 3G...could be better?! What do you mean? Android OS unfortunately is high ://

Sorry guys never understand how it's possible to get a screen on time about +7 hours?! Got a Vodafone Germany branded device
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sohojmanush:
How ? what are the setup ? any kernel tweaks ? or custom kernel with lower cpu etc :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Arashde64:
So, here is my SOT.

I have the dual sim variant and got this amazing phone for sth about 3 weeks. I turned power saving at 30% and mobile network was on 2G only all the time (because I was home and I used wifi)

And everything is stock. No root, no custom rom, no greenify or sth.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ahmadhmedan:
Exynos stock and not rooted wity wifi only.

I get freaking 8h 30m screen on time with 40% brightness and power saving mode all the time no gaming envolved.i'm very impressed coming from an iphone 5 with 2h and a bit of sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ecmperalta:
Wow! Crazy! I really want mine to be like this haha

What doesn't make me to sad is that it charges quickly so I good haha

Ahhh, I don't know how you can use it with power saving mode, I try but I never keep it more than 15 minutes, I feel really strong the difference

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
2 days on battery plus 8 hours SOT average.

EXYNOS Stock, WiFi on plus 4g (low signal at work), auto brightness approx. 40%.

Superb.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ErAndrea:
For me APB4 is the best. 1 day of full work with this one with little stand-by and always the battery arrive at late night. Lovely
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skinza:

Also noticed pgh has an updated basedband from PEQ to PGH dont know if any newer roms do but every other rom that i used (pgi pg3 pg6 pf2) were all on PEQ baseband
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] MisterKanister:
I bought the S7 Edge (Exynos) 2 days ago, so yesterday was my first full day on battery and I must say I am impressed!

Had a SOT of 7 hours, including 2 hours of gaming.

Rest was setting up/installing the phone, browsing/reading and checking out the camera :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] xSkyer:
What were you playing? Some light gaming?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] MisterKanister:
A game called 'Heroes Tactics'. It's not exactly a Real Racing, but still a game :cool:

Just got this bad boy on saturday night. On my first cycle i got 5hr 17mins SOT. Can only imagine it will be better but still not bad. My note 5 i was lucky if i hit 3hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jj03:
not bad. on 4th cycle of battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] LiquidPlacidity:
Hey guys,

I just got my S7 edge 4 days ago. I have an unlocked snapdragon 820 variant. I've disabled Facebook, Whatsapp, any other junk that was on it. There wasn't much bloat to begin with. From it being fully charged at 100%, it will go down to 96% battery after pretty much exactly 20 minutes of light usage every time. I've tested it out over the period I've had the phone. All I'm doing is browsing with the Chrome browser on XDA. I've tested on data as well as WiFi with the same results. I have full service so it's not cell standby.

Is this normal for this phone or should I exchange it for another one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Dont change it, I have done that before and happened exactly the same with next phone. For me its like 50 min sot from 100 to 90 with no standby
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Last charge.

Always auto brightness

Mostly 4G

Wifi only at night.

As i was saying android system and OS and battery standby always seems to drain 1000mAh no matter what use i make.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tandeh:
Get rid of chrome, i use WiFi as normal turned off auto sync, notifications for most app except WhatsApp etc.

I use Facebook website not app, religiously went through each app and was surprised so many apps want phone and contacts access even some want mic access etc, turned off most to just use storage except those which really need it also went into battery section and manually made all apps except the few most used to always save power.

Turned off 'ok google' voice activation and Google auto backup, also when in application section in setting let it show all apps including system apps, some even though I turned off notification have a level of pop up notification still selected. Also turned auto firmware update to manually and also playstore update and Samsung store update to manual. Autobrightness on.

Batter life and stand by drain greatly reduced, biggest difference was so many apps with ridiculous permissions, like telephone, Mike, camera and contacts access for an app that does not need them. talk about underhand spying and tactics, makes one wonder.

Anyways gone from over 4 hrs to around 6.5 to 7hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ohmyduck:

I'm running Renovate Edge and I'm getting around 7 hours SOT on average, and that is not just light use, some of that is gaming etc. This is down slightly from the S7E roms I used to run (Superman etc) but not by much. 30-45 minutes perhaps. It's a phone with fantastic battery life.
