WiFi off (while screen off) in the S7 setting (not the app)...

Once my phone wakes up from sleep, it's auto connecting to my wifi.

Actually I was trying today to minimize the use of my phone (for standby testing purpose).

Now after 8 hours and 6 min, from 100% (this morning) full charge, the phone is at 94% now (making only a few phone calls, some surfing on the internet and using my two emails accounts!

The previous data I posted where only estimates.

In the setting there are few option while screen off:

Disabling sensors and other stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I presume you have the Snapdragon.

I particularly don't use any app and don't see any improvement with the force doze.

During the night with wifi off the phone sleep 0.5% per hour.

Its more than enough.

If you want less ultra power saving mode.

And if don't need the signal because that is important can turn on the airplane mode.

But you know that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] traneupcqk:
Snapdragon version.

I used 4g connection continuously (about 90% of time) and ended up with this result.

I expected SOT is about 5hrs30m, though.

What do you think guys ?

Plus, my battery lost about 3% in 7hours with Wifi connection (AOD and sync off).

Is this okay ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well this night forget wifi on and drain 3% in 5h

Good.

100% to 75% without sim, wifi /AOD on . Attaching some screenshots. Can some one Identify the battery drain. To me its vfsspi_wake_lock, that I couldn't find it on google

Update: vfsspi_wake_lock probably caused by xposed module FingerprintEnabler. After disabling it vfsspi_wake-lock disappeared.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hapibanana:
I've been getting around 7-10% drain in around 7-8 hours overnight. I only actually drain 5% AT MOST with the same time when I first got my phone. Didn't add any apps since that time. Can it be the software update from Samsung, update from an app or change in sync settings that I do not know of? Is this normal and just a sign of the battery slightly degrading? Only have my phone around 2 months IIRC.

It's most likely a user issue. Somewhere you've set something that uses battery unnecessarily.

This phone has good battery life. Usually until folks play around with settings they haven't got a clue what they're about or install 20 battery 'saving' and monitoring apps ... all of which of course ... yes you've guessed it ... use battery :D

Having said that, Exynos version is more battery efficient than SD.

Android System

Sooo... i was up in the mountain and had no connection so i set my phone to airplane mode. My phone was on airplane mode for 24 hours ( 11 am to 11 am )and my battery droped like 10-15% with a little use ...

We went back in the city and turned off airplane mode. Stayed mostly at home and at work ( both places have wi-fi connection ) During the night at home for 6 hours sleep phone battery dropped with 10% ( Wi-fi on , mobile network on , gps off , AOD off , sync on , BT off , NFC off )

Sooo battery dropped with like 80% for 24 hours and no more than 3.5 hours SOT after i came back ( Lets say i had 1 hour SOT for 24 hours during the mountain trip )

I think i have more standby drain than i should have. Cant upload photos or links yet so .... 1drv.ms/f/s!AvLcOQyYf80bgStwLJonNdekfQwl

Galaxy s7 edge - SM-G935U ( AT&T phone with europe simcard )

No Root

Snapdragon phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] snake2332:
935V here. No matter if it's stock, rooted, on 935U, tons of settings turned off, all defaults settings turned on, greenify + amplify configured to the max or not at all, etc., I always see 1.5% to 3% drain in standby. I need to investigate doze and see if it's actually dozing or not.

Meanwhile, my year old S6 (work phone) that I just put back to stock MM and haven't messed with settings on (mostly defaults), has 17h on battery and almost no SOT, 92% battery left, estimation of 10 days battery remeaning with wifi always on, no power saving mode, etc. And my S7Edge has, what, a 60% bigger battery? Feels like the S7E should do 15 days in standby if my S6 is doing 10 days. Not like I need that kind of standby battery life, but makes me wonder what the S7E is doing differently than the S6.

Oh ya, I keep forgetting I have the Gear S2. Maybe I should turn off bluetooth on the S7E and see how it does. No sure if I care enough though, haha.

Side note: Do you guys really leave your phone OFF of the charger overnight all the time or is that just for testing purposes? I just find it odd that anyone wouldn't throw it on a wireless charger at night.

Sorry for another somewhat meaningless post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] klemenSLO:
I bought s7e specialy becouse of it's battery. And in the end it's is the only thing that bothers me. In my opinion when phone just sits on the table it should consume almost nothing and for that reason it unacceptable that it looses 10% over night ... another stupid thing is this Samsung knox. If it was another company's phone i would root it the first day....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
Its the same for me, I loose like 1% every hour over the night. I think its always on feature.

I turned AOD off yesterday.

Today, my S7E has been in "deep sleep" for 6h 11m, but only 22m in "doze", or 5% of the screen-off time. Seems like it should be higher than 5% of the screen-off time, but I need more observation of these doze stats to really get a good feel for it.

I'm impressed so far on first charge I got 16 hours with 5 hours screen on time. That is about 1 1/2 hours of games, some Facebook, intent browsing, and airwatch. With the v10 I would have burned thru 2 battery's and then some to accomplish this.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ibcenu:
I had a note 4. Lasted me all day with ~15% by end of day

So far s7 edge is needing a cord before end of my day. Haven't needed one since my s4
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] razorseal:
eh. about 8 hours with a lot of snap chatting which really drains battery fast. Also was bunch of downloads, a benchmark run and few other things since I got the phone. My note edge would have lasted 4-5 hours if I was lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Zeffir:
7-9 hours under heavy use... meaning screen on, running multiple apps, games, and/or movies, etc. It's certainly not an endless power source but if you're a light user, can easily squeeze a day+ out of this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] marquinhodsdm:
I end the day of heavy use with around 30% battery (6 am- 5pm). In about 15 minutes I can be back to 55%. No problems for power users.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] adyscorpius:
Look at your signal strength.. How do you expect the radio not drain the battery if thats normal with your operator or location? Thats a good battery life assuming the radio is causing some extra battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
11hrs SOT over 30hrs is what I'd consider heavy usage. Pretty good.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
I've had a light day today (with some browsing, chatting and redditing), and I have 80% left at 1:47 (AM) (2 hours 30 min SOT and around 15 hours up-time), so I don't think I even have to charge it tonight :silly: The battery is ridiculously good (Exynos).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stone0504:
Definitely enough for one day use
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
So I unplugged mine Wednesday morning and it's currently Friday 02:52 (AM), and I still have 27% left. I'm not even trying here. I've been playing some games (for a short period of time), browsing the web and Reddit, used FB Messenger a lot, and listened to music for countless hours. Current SOT is at 6 h 24 min.

I have the Exynos version - of course. Stock and unrooted. I have only disabled some stock apps.

Update: It's now 04:40 (AM), and I'm throwing in the towel. SOT is now 7 h 40 min, with an up-time of 1 day 18 hr. I have 16% battery left. You win, Samsung. You win.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Monkey Slut:
Thank you.

There are very few of them. I attached my pack in xml. My battery is better than without disabling apps , but maybe I turned off too many of them? I need to check that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
Yeah, a lot of people are reporting worse battery life after disabling a lot of stuff, and my advice to you would be to not disable a lot of services. Very few apps are standalone apps without any dependencies etc. so you'll probably mess something up by "removing" a key piece of software (the app itself), while the services will keep "pinging" for the app even though it's not there. This causes battery drain even though the app isn't active, the rest of the "machinery" is, if you get what I'm trying to say.

I experienced this myself when I disabled S Health. I got noticeable worse battery life when I disabled it, and I understood why when I re-enabled it. S Health is active 24/7 as a service, and it's actually counting your steps in the background, which I didn't know until I started getting notifications congratulating me by beating my personal record and so on. I checked the settings, and sure enough, it's enabled by default to do that, so I have disabled auto-logging now, but this just shows how disabling one thing can cause small things like this to get messed up, resulting in CPU time and battery life lost.

This is especially true for Samsung apps, which are deeply integrated into the framework, so there are a bunch of things that work together, and those things won't stop looking for that missing app when you've disabled one.

It's not like "Oh, Tim (S Health) isn't responding, so we'll just stop calling him". Nope, they'll try again and again and again until "he" responds, and this is going to affect battery life. So my advice is to not disable all the Samsung apps. I have most of them enabled, but I use Nova Launcher, so I've hidden them from the app drawer, and my battery is, as you can see, awesome. The pre-installed Google apps are different though, since they're more modular, and thus much easier to remove without messing with anything else, like it's easier to remove the wheel (Google) of a car than a part of the suspension system (Samsung).

So I would re-enable most of the Samsung apps again and just see what happens. Then disable one by one and if you notice anything funky, then re-enable it and go to the next one :)

That does not matter. What matters is on what software he is. Someone on Marsh Mallow can get 8-10 SOT over 2 full days. Someone on Nougat can get 3-4 SOT with luck, in 1 day.

I usually get between 7.5 and 9 hours SOT over 2 days, depending on what I'm doing. Fairly heavy user but not a gamer.

That's on MM. I am in absolutely no rush to switch to Nougat and shall monitor user reports carefully ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] draligus:
Thanks for your detailed explanation.

But - in general - a lot of people recommends debloating for battery saving..

Can you advice any source for your thesis?

Debloating was my first step battery saving procedure so far.

I dont get what you say about the logo, and for the one complaining about that it cant be used with one hand, is wrong.

I got a very small hand, but i have no problems at all using it with one hand. There even is a feature to one hand.

And the camera, uff, that auto focus is insanely fast and just takes beautiful Pictures in the dark. Never seen anything like it.

When you look at it, it looks great, but the actual ergonomy is quite bad. No grip at all, very slippery. If the side metal frame had some kind of etching on them, the grip would have been considerably improved and the looks would have been preserved.

Looks great, but between the glass back, slippery surface, and fingerprint magnet surface this is the first phone I've used a case on. But I got a nice, clear TPU case so the style shows through, it adds little bulk, and makes the phone easier to hold. I do wonder, though, when manufacturers will wise up to the fact the we actually need to hold these devices in our hands, and they should be easy to grip, not hard.

Maybe it's a conspiracy between the manufacturers of phones and the manufacturers of cases. :)

Great looking phone. Feels great in the hand even tho its a bit slippery.

Buttons position nicely. Good that the power button is a bit lower then the vol down.

Camera and heart sensor are place good. Had problems with the note edge. Camera lense would get dirty or reader wouldnt read.

Nice faded app and back button. I have the black oxny so its nice to not have white buttons at the bottom.

Trim around the phone looks greaf and gives it a more metal look.

Ports at the bottom of then phone all look great and gives the phone a premium feel.

Overall samsung nailed it.

One of the most beautiful smartphone ever created? Absolutely. Is it in any way practical, or does the edge deliver some form of incredible functionality? Absolutely not. It got the looks, and that's pretty much it. It is, on the other hand, very comfortable in the hand, and I've noticed that I'm often just holding it in my hand even though I'm not currently using it. Other people have also commented on how nice it feels in the hand.
