I got rid of my s7 a while back cause of issues...my sot and overall battery got a little better than what I had shared but the constant lag among other issues pushed me to get rid of it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
Hmm, that's a bit odd. I never had issues with lagg nor stuttering in these 8 months... You had the SD version or Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KoRoZIV:
Battery on beta is not better...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] archerymodz:
I believe I did. No matter what I did, no matter what ROM it would end up lagging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] dryspuri:
I thought Nougat was better for battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kemby13:
Well buddy, i'm sorry to hear that... But i believe you "jumped the ship" a bit too early because this Nougat beta is the smoothest and fastest experience i ever had in any phone. I'm telling you, it works beautifully. Ofcourse there are a few glitches (it is a beta afterall), but i can already tell that Sammy did a great job! The battery seems to be better but it's still early to tell because i'm using the firmware only 2 days now...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] NisseGurra:
S7 with Exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] vhc:
Wow, just how?!?!

Is this all browsing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] NisseGurra:
No, mixed use, i getting 8-9hours SOT from every charge.

Its a rooted and debloated S7 tho
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] salada2k:
Hi NisseGurra, would you mind sharing how you did that, particularly what you got rid of for the debloat? Thanks!

After one night (9hours standby) my battery arrived from 99% to 97%. Wifi on and energy saver on. S7 with Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Same here...2-3 % in 9 hours on wifi (no energy saver).

With Screen Always-On function enabled however it's 9% in 9 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
I disabled always on display. But the battery is very interesting, on my S6 (bought 9 months ago) the battery was on 10% after only 2-3h of screen on time and the same use as S7. So in S7 this is the best improvement in my opinion (the battery).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Most definitely the battery is the biggest improvement of the S7.

I'm getting SoT of minimum 7 hours...that's just insane.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
I agree with you... the battery is the biggest improvement even if s6 edge is the most beautiful :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] PlatinumNick:
your getting that power with the regular s7 and not the s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Yeah I have the regular S7 (stock non-rooted).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] vhc:
Is it possible to show the rest of the "recent battery usages"?

my screen percentage is only around 30-35%
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
With Exynos right? 7 hours SOT is indeed impressive, can you tell us how you were using the phone? (Browsing, movies etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Artoriuz:
Yours is SD820, people with insane numbers are Exynos 8890.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Indeed the Exynos version...SoT is ridiculous. Have never before experienced anything like it on stock (!) rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] NisseGurra:
Sorry, did not make any screenshots of the full usages. Next time :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jarayn:
I don't get anywhere this. Maybe 5 hours.

It's still OK but not in the same league.

Exynos s7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
I have doubts now that he posted the last screenshot, most used app is the camera app. with 5%. Idk I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] daffie:
Doubts...about my pics? How so if I may ask. It's just a test I did last weekend using my phone for more than 7 hours straight. Normal use in my case. Lots of web browsing, xda, flipboard, email, some pics, videos, a little gaming. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] archerymodz:
I jumped ship a few months ago. The phone would be unusable by now unless I kept resetting it. There's more reason I jumped away from Samsung though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] takerhbk:
This is my usage.

Aod On

No root

No greenify

Auto brightness

WiFi on, location on, sync on

Both sims on with not so great signal on one of them

Plus 1 hour of music on headphones

30mins of games coc

4hrs 4 mins SOT with 20% battery left
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DrQuestion:
I get about 6hours sot

Only listening music and surf internet...dont know if its good or not

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Frankie73:
I constantly get 7h+ with more then 20% battery left. Ok, GPS is off and it's on wifi almost the whole day, but still that's pretty amazing for 3000mah!

(G930F Exynos, stock MM)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] takerhbk:
GPS doesn't make a bug difference but aod does. I suppose that is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
I can only get 6 easily if id be on airplane + wifi all day :P

Otherwise about 4-5

AOD off, location data + wifi, sync on but just every few hours

Light usage
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Frankie73:
Yes, AOD is off, I never use it so I didn't even think of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] takerhbk:
I get 5hrs with AOD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] cdx47:
Pictures or it didn't happen :)

Android Nougat. Wifi initially then 4g for the rest of the day.

Once I got past 20 hours I used the Samsung/Android Nougat battery saving features in moderate mode which made almost no difference to my actual usage of the device. No slow downs or anthing.

I got almost 8 hours screen time. See attachment!

This waaaaay more than I got on my s7 edge with Android Marshmellow so................ummmm....wow!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] javitolopez69:
Good for nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] cdx47:
The funny thing is that I was using my phone as normal, Wifi at home, then outside I used 4G and standard location for bus and train routes. then Maps and GPS for walking to the destination. The rest of the day was spent surfing on 4G, downloading and uninstalling apps (this always kills the battery) and making the occasional call. It will be interesting to see if this happens regularly from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
I've been investigating this new power saving power modes feature of Nougat beta, and come to the conclusion I get better idle and usage battery life leaving the phone in High Performance mode than I do with Normal mode

I was having to charge my phone twice a day under normal mode, I am now 1 day and 8 hours on battery, with 4 hours SoT and 40% battery left - using High performance only
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] destz0r:
bought this phone a few days ago, havent rooted or anything yet (not even removed all of the bloatware)

getting around 5-6hrs SOT with mixed usage of wifi (when at home) & 4G (when outside/at work), with wifi only i'm sure i'd get more than 7hours

good enough for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] takerhbk:
Are you talking about S7 edge or flat?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] cdx47:
S7 flat. That's what really surprised me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:
For me it looks like wifi take more battery than 4g. Or am i wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Lucoso46:
Don't know how but my battery life is 4.40 sot with my s6..

But in my s6 i put the s7 flat battery, strange that there is a lot of difference with your results

Shall I update to Noughat ? .... Is it bug free? ....and how is the battery life compared to original released version on S7 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Saarvieen Raj:
It is not bug free as it is still a beta but battery life is quite comparable to marshmallow

47h30min with 4h30 SOT and battery at 10%. S7 Exynos: rooted, debloated + use of Greenify.

Overall, I get similar as my S5, a bit disappointed as it should be better given the tests and battery capacity increase...

I lose every night at least 5% battery, is there any specific process that is known to cause issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gracefang:
Cpu wake ups download any cpu wake up check app to see which apps wake up your cpu time by time and cause battery drain or maybe your kernels off screen frequency is set to some high value

Just got my s7 3 days ago haha I guess the battery isn't that much great
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Phone_Junkie:
Snapdragon S7, not rooted

Averaging just under 5 1/2 hours of SOT. I am using Greenify as of yesterday and as you can see the gradient is pretty nice while asleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] theduardo:
Hello guys, I'm on 6.0.1 full stock with package disabler pro enabled for some services. Altough, I'm just getting around 3h SOT in a full charge usage.

I have WiFi enabled all day and mixed usage - social, browsing, light gaming, some pictures....nothing special.

Android SO consuming around 30-40% charge according to the phone's battery monitor and screen consuming around 20-30% (normal % for screen). Too much for SO, no?

What can I do to get better battery results? I remember that when the phone was new I was able to get much better results.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] MirzoKhamidov:
You can try wipe data/cache. Or u can flash the last firmware using ODIN(not HOME_CSC)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] parsrehal:
Hey Guys,

Its been around 5 months since i got the galaxy s7,its been giving me quite poor screen on time since then there are people who are getting around 6hrs+ SOT while my device here barely breathes out 3hrs.On checking the battery panel 'Android System' was consuming the most,after observing this fact i downloaded an app called 'Package Disabler Pro' and disabled all the bloatware even after doing this my phone is giving me the SOT of about 3 and a half hours.Help Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DeVilio:
Oh my god, why you guys measuring your battery life by SOT?! Are you mad or something? Think for a moment, different brightnes settings, different walpapers, bluetooth, gps, nfc and many many others variables and all you can talk about is "i have 5h sot and you?" - what the hell men? I can easily reach 24h and more of SOT time and that means nothing! What really mean is normal ussage of phone, mine - S7 flat have about 60% battery life left when i get home (unplugged at 7AM, get home about 7 - 8 PM). If you guys want to test your battery life try to play one video from YT at fullscreen, at full brightness, and same settings for BT, GPS, NFS and others. Then you can really compare your results.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Saridas:
Hi. How are you all getting that much SoT? I mean 6-7hrs and some of you still have 20% to go and its nightime anyway.. And having the phone last 2 days on one charge... How?

I avreage 4-5hrs. I got 6hrs few days back but barely, i was pushing the phone and had only 4% left.

I am doing a test today and I charged my phone last night and and i unplugged it at 23.30. I then was checking the stanby drain and checked also when i woke up this morning at 9.20.

Here are the results:

23.30=100%

00.16=99%

1.00=98%

1.30=97%

1.43=96%

1.48=95%

9.20=90%

And now i went straight to this forum to write this and i already lost 4%. I am on 86% right now.

Oh and i have nightclock on from 1am to 5am and for the rest of the day AOD. And im writing this with LTE on. I have all else disabled (wifi, sync, nfc Bluetooth, gps..) i only turn those things when i need them. But still other people have much less overnight drain even with aod on...

Is something wrong with my battery?

Oh and this is not a new phone. Bought it in September but it had something wrong with screen and speaker so in october i sent it for repair, and we have a really slow repair centers in my country so i just got it back from repairs last week.

And people say that at 20.00 pm they have still 20% battery left and here i am at 40%-30% at 17.00 and by 18.00 or 19.00 i am on 15 or 10%.. I kinda have to watch what i do with the phone to get through the day i guess and other people say they do what they want and it just lasts... Is something wrong with battery or what?

And as i finish writing this i am already on 84%.

Oh and u have exynos s7 edge and when they repaired my phone they installed firmware for Poland on it and not for my country. Still dont know why but could that be maybe a reason?

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Oh and people say that with browsing it drains 10% per hour. Well i guess writing this on forums is browsing and i just lost 6% in 20minutes... Im not sure if its normal you tell me. And i am using the stock web app called "Internet" to browse and do stuff on web. And that app is said to drain less battery than chrome. Thats why i use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Saridas:
Oh and i dont knkw why, but in the middle of 2nd largest city in the country with operator that has best coverage in my country i have only 1-2 bars of signal. Heres a screenshot. Cell standby is second on the list at the moment with 20% and Stanby is third with 11%. Cant post sot and other stuf yet since its been only half an hours sincd i started using my phone today. And already i am on 81% as finish writing this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Saridas:
Here is battery stats now at 46% battery left. I don't think its that good. And its 14.05. And then you have people with 3 or 4 hrs of sot at 50 or 60% battery. And they go with it till bedtime. I doubt ill get till 19.00 with this kind of battety today.

Software thing? Maybe broken battery unit? Please help me i dont know what esle it could be and what do i tell the repair center ti repair

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] James.Markham0757:
WTF is going on with my battery then? I have the S7 Flat snapdragon version (G930v) running the G930u software unrooted which removes all carrier bloat. Screen brightness is set to a little past half way. I have all setting provided by stock software optimized for maximum battery life other than running AOD. I am running a black Wallpaper/Lockscreen/ and an All black theme from the Theme Engine.. I Repeat, I have all stock firmware options Optimized for battery. Every single one. Wth hell is going on here. My battery time is looking Rediculous in comparison. Someone help me out here.

I feel asleep around 3am I guess with 89% and woke up just now close to 11. Heres battery over that 8hr period. 5% during that time. Standby drain is not bad it seems. But only 10hrs on 100% is crazy low compared to what some of you guys are getting.

End of Trial:

What can I do to get this increased.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Mr_Stabs:
With plenty of games playing and watching YouTube I've got 5 and a half hours on my first real full cycle with my new s7. Very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] James.Markham0757:
Can anyone give me some suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Jul84:
After upgrading my S7 Exynos to Nougat, my last SOT is 6h06 with still 18% battery. Very happy with it and much better than with Marshmallow! :)

I have used it mostly for videos and reading with mixed brightness.

I activated medium power saving with screen in FHD and -10% brightness (rest of options deactivated).

No root, just disabled what I could (Facebook, Galaxy stuff, Hangouts, Microsoft Office, etc.).

Stop using Facebook, it's the biggest energy drainer. Same for Messenger and these kind of apps that are spying so much on us and refreshing every x sec/min. Also, it seems the Exynos version is more energy efficient that the Snapdragon version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] James.Markham0757:
I could get away with deleting the FBapp itself but not messenger. I don't even use SMS. I call only a few people with my number. Majority of my Communication is threw Messenger. I hope to pick up the Nougat update soon. Was considering a Rom but realized Nougat should be coming sooner than later. Samsung has said The U variant will receive Quarterly updates so I'm not sure exactly when the next will be but I'd expect soon. I wish samsung had released the Exnoys to Carriers here in the US. Much better optimized my my understanding.

Edge or flat?

Screens of app usage / battery usage?

Leaving the screen turned on down low brightness doing nothing does not count for SoT ;)

Bad printscreen but you can See aplications in background

Screen is only 38 % batery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ImDaiLow:
Please see and advise. Anyway I can fix this terrible battery life? I just recently got this from bestbuy. $300 bucks for a geeksquat certified: deal was too good to pass. Phone was almost like new too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Johann90:
Firstly Uninstall everything with "VR" in name. This aplications (after last actualisation 6.01) is very problematic and draining batery fast( phone is hot also)

If this don't help you should check information about your phone. You can use program "phone info" (Google play) . In menu you have option "check your originality" or something like this. If phone is oryginal you should install "better battery stats" and with adb give for this program permissions (search Google, or you can find this on this forum). When you do this ,charge your phone to 100% and disconnect charger. Don't use phone for few hours and then in application you can check which aplications drain your battery too fast. I hope it will help.

Or simply you can do factory reset :)

Sorry for my bad English
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ImDaiLow:
@ Johann90 Thank you! Let me try your method and revert.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] :
Yes, remove unnecessary software that is running in background, as I can see you have plenty of it judging from the notifications bar..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Hanna-Fi:
Sorry if i ask some silly questions.

Now i use reguler S7 exynos version (Android 7.0 nougat, January security patch). Maximum SOT i can reach is 4.5-5 hours with most of bloatware disabled (using package disabler pro), FHD screen resolution, common usage (social media, youtube, browsing), 70% wifi connection, no gaming and no power saving mode.

How can you (the users of regular S7 exynos version) manage to reach 7 hours SOT? Do you root it or using power saver all the time? what version of Android do you currently use? Any special tricks maybe?

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] :
yes, dont use package disabler pro, I did disable just facebook, instagram.. stuff that can be disabled normally and I don't use.

Wtf I have note 5 and I get the same screen on time 4 hald hour To 5. Considered buying s7 edge to replace my note 5 since i was unsatisfied with that range of screen on time...

I wonder this is because of carriers draining battery or what.

Mine is unlocked and using disabler pro..

Actually even with this settings i have applications that keep waking up regularly (BBC, NY Times, ....). Is it the expected behaviour, is there anyway to prevent this ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Don_Go:
Hi everyone, do you guys charge using fast charging or not? I read from several thread saying that using normal charging (not fast charging) helps with the SOT, is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:
Why you dont try it by yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Moskiitto:
There is something going on with fast charging. When you use fast charging the s7 wont go to deep sleep until you restart it.

Lähetetty minun SM-G930F laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Hanna-Fi:
Could you please explain? i dont really get it (sorry)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Moskiitto:
When you charge with fast charging, s7 won't go to deep sleep. When your device doesn't go to deep sleep your device is draining more battery when you are not useing it.

Same case with wakelocks.. They keep your device awake even it is not used.

If you want to know more about wakelocks and devices deep sleep search is your friend. My english aint good enought to tell more :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Hanna-Fi:
based on my experience, SOT when using wifi can reach even 6-7 hours of SOT. While using the mobile data, it only reach 3.5-4.5 hours of SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Moskiitto:
Thats true. Wifi uses less power. 4g lte uses lots of battery.

For me it isnt like that. If i use wifi and read here in forum then battery goes down 1% in 1 minute. If i use lte then 1% goes down with 5 minutes.
