S7 Exynos (Flat)

Cca. 4,5 hrs on 4G all the time

Cca. 7 hours on WiFi all day.

Pretty much impressed, my previous 3000 mAh phone (LG G4) managed 4,5 hrs SOT on WiFi all the time with the same usage. For me it is a huge difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Hoffmanns:
Yeah, I had LG G4 too and now I have S7 flat with Exynos and it's big difference :)

With LG G4 max. 4-5hrs SOT in extreme cases and now with S7 5hrs SOT no problem :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] beankid:
I hope my device settles down after the first week of getting the phone, I've only been able to squeak by with 2hr 10 mins of SOT and 10HRs of use on the battery.... I bought the device second hand though so I might be SOL...... maybe I need to sell this one and get a different one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HuskQi:
I used to get 6hrs SOT. I run with Auto brightness, GPS, WiFi, 4G and Bluetooth always on. Exynos version - stock.

Starting around 2 weeks ago, I've barely been getting 2hrs SOT. Don't remember agreeing to install any updates but have seen others facing similar issues in other threads so seems like the culprit and just awaiting an update to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Spongeworthy:
Is it normal to drain about 20-25 percent with only about an hour of browsing on chrome?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] beankid:
Hmm a borcked update might me probable. I had to install two separate updates after I got my phone. One of those might have tanked my SOT as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Zinux:
No.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Have you installed anything lately? (which could cause the battery drain)

Keep your eyes on what's taking your battery down.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HuskQi:
Yeah, I know there was a couple weeks ago, but the battery drain only started a week or so after that update (perhaps another update occurred while I slept? haha).

I've done a factory reset and it hasn't helped. Luckily killing the GATTService as suggested in another thread has reduced the drain significantly although it keeps restarting itself throughout the day.

Either way, I'm happy with the S7 battery and I'm sure a fix won't be far off considering the number of people affected.

edit: in reply to TheLegend no new app installs. I pretty much use the same apps on all my phones and nothing else, although they do auto update. Battery shows Android System taking up around 50% battery every charge.

Wow. I envy you! I got about 5-6 hours of SOT in a 12-16h time span.. and that on wifi only. On mobile data (3g/4g) i may get 2-3 hours of SOT.

I am using the display at 30-50% brightness on auto.

What's the secret?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] mastermind34:
78% with about 1 hour and 30 minutes of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] blake2893:
As soon I got the phone, update it to last firmware via OTA, then full wipe twice. After that I charged it for the first time full 8 hours with the phone off as recomended for a brand new phone.

Then started it and begin the setup process and disabled google location and AOD, turned off "search near devices" and disabled all bloatware by disabling them on configurations. That's all I did :good:

After a factory reset on my device, it's doing much better. Not sure what was the issue when I first got the phone. It's at least on its way to be acceptable.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] axxel6307:
5 to 7 sot on my gs7 snapdragon. It depends on whether I leave auto brightness on and if I am able to stay inside with low screen light needed. However, today I'm noticing "google services" or google play services (they have alternated at times), running constantly in running services with about 50mb. I've never really kept an eye on this before today, but is this normal for it to always be running and never be able to be in cached processes?

On a side note, today I just installed greenify and enabled aggressive doze, and also input the dump commands to disable the motion sensors. I was getting about 40% even better battery life after doing this. At 90%, I was at 1hr10 minutes SOT, with auto brightness on, and on pace to get 8 to 10 hrs SOT. I was going to recommend it here until i notice my google services running constantly, and now I am not sure because of this. Do you guys have this running all the time also, or does it end up going into cache processes eventually?

BTW, if you do try out the greenify, unless you are rooted, it is recommended to NOT use the hibernation use, as it will only hurt battery. Just use the aggressive doze feature and motion sensor dump commands.

Forcedoze is another app that can use aggressive doze and disable motion sensors, but I have not tried it yet. Has great reviews though.

Anyways, happy battery OCDing! Hope some here can chime in on whether your google services (or google play services) are always running?.....

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] axxel6307:
Here are the instructions. Don't hibernate any apps with greenify unless you are rooted. Also, aggressive doze is optional. You can just disable the motion sensors if you wish and leave your doze at stock settings. I'd only do one thing at a time so you can evaluate your battery changes.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] tennissand:
Hello community,

I will show you my battery data in the pictures below. Do you think it's average? Because most of you get up to 8h SOT but I only have around 4 to maybe 5. I hardly make it through the day. Furthermore my standby consumption is OK at night (around 0.5-1% an hour) but when I'm at school (where my S7 is also just in my pocket) it's horrible (4% an hour). I have the Always On Display On but it turns off in my pocket and at night.

Can you help me please?

BTW: I have the exynos version and deactivated some apps with Package Disabler Pro.

Thanks in advance !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Nickel Dime Bay:
Why do most of you let your phones get to under 10% battery? Is it just to see your SOT? I get around 3.5 SOT at the end of the day with around 60% but I always just charge it.

Help me please
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] FreddieP:
Recently bought a used 930F (int'l exynos) that i'm using on AT&T and promptly connected it to my S6 and used smart sync (i think thats the name of the samsung app that copies apps & data from one galaxy to another) to copy everything from S6 to S7. I just installed my AT&T sim from the S6 (did not register new phone w/ AT&T) if this might make a difference.

Really like the performance but battery life is somewhat discouraging. I'm getting around 4 hrs SOT, more if I use it frequently, less if bat is used more by standby. Standby life is good though. Using Force Doze life is extended some, not the 40% mentioned earlier in this thread.

Much earlier in this thread and elsewhere i've read it is recommended to factory reset a couple times and then start installing apps again. Or possibly get Samsung support at Best Buy to reinstall factory image. Wondering what I could do in attempt to improve SOT to what some here are reporting. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] LeandritoG:
I have a doubt of SOT of S7 phones.

Does the Always On Display enabled enter in this count of the time?

Or is it ignored by SOT?

Thanks.

I've had this phone for about four months and was perfectly satisfied with it. Until 3 days ago (or whenever) the new Google Play Services update was pushed.

Before the update I was easily getting 5+ hours SoT with a day (sometimes day and a half) stand by time.

After the update I lose about 12% battery overnight & can barely get up to 2 hours of SoT.

None of my phone using habits have changed, didn't install or change anything on my phone, just those damn Google Services updated.

Tried clearing cache & some other tricks I read about online and nope, still getting poor battery life.

Any ideas guys?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iSchadenfreude:
Standby time amazing

I got my new S7 recently and love it, but I haven't had much of a chance to mess with it because of work. Its stock and I did debloat some apps, downloaded Doze and after 8 hour shifts I lose less than 5% battery overnight is the same thing!

I wanted to ask a question. I charged my phone last night to full 100% I was watching a youtube video and accidentally fell asleep, because youtube app has the autoplay feature, it played videos all night and I woke up with my wifi on and battery at 48%. Did I cause any damage to my phone or battery by doing this? I charged it up to 100% after that I was so angry especially since my phone is new and I know you can't change the battery of this device. I hope I'm just worried about nothing sorry guys. :crying:

Best SOT on any phone I've ever had, and I had quite a few (Nexus 5, LG G3, Oneplus 2, iPhone 6S, Galaxy S6, Nexus 5x).. seriously I'm sooooo freaking satisfied, I had a pretty bad battery life the first day but this second day is great and I imagine it's only going to get better! Was using the phone constantly without stopping, lots of whatsapp, twitch, some netflix and browsing, some light gaming.. at the end I ended up with almost 7 hours of SOT, this is so crazy.. and the phone is blazing fast, multitasking is sweet..

You know unless you have the phone for more than a few days, it will be hard to tell its potential. The fact is that with a new device, the first day is stressful to the unit with all the apps and data installing. Then there is the tweaking to get it just the way you want it. For myself, I am getting a decent battery use but, like I said, it will be up and down till my s7 is driving day to day without any additional pressure.
