Going to put you on ignore now, you're just looking for an argument, which is not liked on XDA

Misleading would have been me saying I was using the phone heavily during the SoT test, I explained exactly what I was doing, there was nothing misleading about it at all

Like I say, if you don't like it, leave

Before you do, I suggest you go read a few of the first pages of this thread and check other peoples SoTs, not far off mine, some way over

Now stop trolling / flame baiting

Iggy'd ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
Absolutely right.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Before I get nexus 5 a few years ago I used to read threads about SOT like this one, where guys like him would claim that they get 7 hours with their phones, posting screenshots etc. When I got the nexus 5 I had to disable almost everything in order to get 5 hours SOT.

And when i said that his post is misleading and its not a SOT competition, I got called salty, b*tt hurt, accused of trolling/flame baiting and got told to leave the thread.

Oh well...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] :
Come on guys lets leave the testosterone at home, no more stupid arguements. I really don't see the point in a competition to get the best screen on time myself, just use your phone and enjoy it

How long do you use your s7?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
What screen on time you get on 4G
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
For all of you asking the regular s7 CANNOT get more than 7.5 hours over 1 day of usage. Everything above that is either watching movies only or watching pictures or letting the phone just sit there and do nothing. Everything above that is super super light usage and has absolutely nothing to do with normal, real scenario usage. I hope this post clears it all for you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
What about on 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
4g 5 hours max i believe

Id say that is pretty normal. Pretty good SOT as well. I'm not as lucky though with mine. I can't for the life of me get anywhere close to that. I've been thinking about selling the phone as the battery life is about the same as my G2 was before I upgraded to the S7. Sad day indeed for me.

If you count every apps usage(mah) you should get your battery size as a result, No?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Only if you do it with 0% battery left, otherwise you should have your battery mAh capacity minus whatever is left in the battery itself

Although I doubt it would be 100% accurate
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Well i did the test...Im down to 12% and counted them

I got 1767mah as a result

Something wrong with my battery? because i am not having good battery life atm

And more than a 1000 seems a little off to me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Yea it does seem a bit far off, but I'm not certain the mAh used by the apps / system etc that are shown is everything being used, like the flash I suppose, speakers, sensors, other hardware etc

Likely more of a rough guide to give an idea of problem apps

Hey guys. I'm at 11hr 20mins of usage time and my Screen ON time is only at 1hr 30mins and and i'm already left with 65% of battery. I've switched off location and all other connections except wifi and 3G. Pls helpppppp ???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] beankid:
Sounds a bit like my boat that I'm in. Seems hit or miss with this device and software. I even sent my device back to Samsung for repair and they replaced the battery and LCD to see if that would fix it. Might be more software related now for me? I'm not sure. If only the battery life was more consistent across the board because I love the build quality of the phone and the feel and finish.

Getting good SoT.

Heavy Marvel CoC played, heavy Poweramp, browsing, checking email.

On WiFi access
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
Battery life on android devices is inconsistent. I get random/unexpected drains of system_server, spi1 and sometimes mediaserver (triggered by a chrome bug, this is solved by closing the app).

When the spi1 process goes crazy, if i look in logcat, i can see some error output by the light sensor dozens times every second. This can be fixed by disabling the auto brightness or by restarting the device.

This make the device warm/hot while in use, reducing screen on time.

Or when the device start to get warm in pocket while connected to 4g/lte for <insert random thing> and consuming the battery like a parasite.

This and the poor ram management (even if you have 16gb of ram) - the omnipresent issues on multiple android phones i've owned, and there are some.

When will google fix those up?!

I've tried to disable location history. I've disabled google now cards. I don't use Bluetooth, nor nfc, nor nearby scanning, etc... Tried to remove facebook apps.. no improvement. What could i do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Have tried everything as well, people using all of these connection features get 5-7 SoT, i get 5 with everything disabled....

Tried amplify (xposed module) + greenify aggressive doze + naptime app to reduce the device inactive delay

Seems to be a bit better now, a Little...

Still not what it used to be in the first months ive had it :/

i seem to be having a very high battery drain while not using my phone that much after i updated it to build number G930FXXU1BPH8 on a galaxy s7 model SM-G930F, any ideas what it might be? it seems the android system is draining more battery than usual since this update. In battery usage it usually sits around the second spot, the first being screen, and before the update i would never see android system running so high in battery usage. help would be greatly appreciated, im new in the forum and new to the whole world of roms and kernels, so... yeah im sort of a noob.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Read a few pages of this thread, you'll likely find some reasons for it, and what to disable

WiFi calling has caused it

OM Customise used 10% for me

KNOX

High accuracy location settings

Oculus / GearVR stuff needs updating / freezing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Turbo duck:
i was reading about it and it seems that one problem some people experience is that when you use your phone after it being idle for a very long time it sort of turns all background applications on and makes the battery drain very quickly but then it decreases to normal after applications are running normally
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] makhoder:
My phone is draining battery while idle, some weird apps are using more battery such as push service.

I dont know If reset solves it

I was thinking of flashing a full rom with Odin, to start from "Scratch"

Since all 3 last updates were OTA

Im Just deciding If i fully flash the device or Just factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Turbo duck:
I had the same dilema as you, I opted for flashing the stock rom, it's much more easier to work with a brand new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WellsMck:
I kind of expected better

I've been averaging 2.75 hrs of screen on time.

I'm using Nova Launcher and an icon pack, and my browsing is instagram and Internet. I don't okay games and I stream a bit of Spotify. I use greenify aggressive doze and have disabled gear vr and all those other packages. I typically get 12 hours on a charge. I was really expecting more, but the snap dragon 820 kind of sucks. I miss the exynos cpu from my S6A.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Ahouat:
Im using: nova launcher, ez package disabler (only disabled bloatware apps manually), dark theme, brightness auto (i scale it down when im indoors), i put all apps on save power except for nova and wechat.

I have AOD off, all the samsung gesture motion stuff off, wifi share off, scanning off, bluetooth off, location off, nfc off, turned down most of thr notifications and only kept the ones i needed, app and software update off,

I have two emails synced, i use adaptive display, i didnt change anything to the animations and im always onLTE. I enabled power saving mode on auto once my battery gets to 20%(with restrict background data off)

I mostly use the phone for web browsing, youtube, emails, videochat and wechat(chatting app). I average 30-50mins of videochat per day and thats what drains my battery the quickest.

I have been averaging 6hr40mins to 7hr20mins sot per charge. I dont have the habit of charging the phone overnight and only charge when it gets to 5‰.

Hope that helps

Hmm i usually dont check how much the android system is using but i screenshoted for you to see if thats a lot or not. Im at 50% and it used 250mah.

I don't get the freezing though

It's just a phone too....don't expect too much from it

Yeah, i think my expect is too much. Until we don't have "battery forever" we will always complain about this. But about the freeze I don't consider normal, S7 have 4GB of RAM and Octa-Core. But thank you for the help :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Maybe wipe cache and dalvik, or reflash your rom?

I used to get 7+ hours SOT on my first S7 device, but I sold it to buy a different colored S7. Now I barely get 4+ hours SOT. With the people getting 7+ hours, could you please let us know if you're on Stock ROM or Custom ROM? Any tweaks you did? I disabled as many packages as possible, made sure GearVR was disabled, and disabled Sync. I make sure any data intensive apps either hibernate or make sure they do not use data when I'm not directly operating the phone, but I still get really bad battery life :(

I'm on Superman ROM (latest firmware)

I have good LTE connection in china, almost full bars where i live and work but i have no idea why the cell standby battery drain is so high compared to when i use it in the US.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] wewep:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
You have a very high standby drain, try Forcedoze or Greenify. Maybe Amplify to limit some wakelocks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] wewep:
Do I need root for them?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
For most features on Greenify yes, sadly.

Amplify wont work without root.

Forcedoze can work without root :') but too enable all features you need a simple adb shell command, which you can find easily on Google. Simply Google Forcedoze adb

Hope that works for you :')

Also, set location accuracy to gps only, look in sync settings wether there are any sync issues. Turn off Bluetooth and wifi scanning in location settings....those are the firsts settings I can think off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ca12bon:
Okay... disabled packages, uninstalled user and system apps (not needed), including Gear VR, aggressive doze mode on, AOD on, brightness on Auto, but I usually manually set it betwen 40% and 60%.

I make sure battery optimization is on, and limit ALL notifications on my apps, as well as Location, etc...

Still getting 4hours 30mins on good days :( Superman ROM with Xposed, Exynos Korean version.

Time to switch to an S7 Edge and see if I can get the 10-11 hours SOT some of those users have reported getting. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
That is nothing out of the ordinary if you ask me... In such short time (13h) on battery you can easily achieve big SOT. My best is 8h 13min of SOT in 1 day 1h and 42mins of batery-on-time. (i have screen-shots if anyone wants). But that was a few months ago, now days a barely get 4h of SOT in a whole day. I'm not sure what caused it, i use my phone in the same way, even stopped casual gaming which i did before. I suspect updates did something to worsen the battery life. Even did a factory reset and got rid of facebook/messenger but it didn't help, at least not as much as i hoped for. I will try the Nougat beta tommorow, because ppl are saying the battery is noticeably better than on MM...
