What are your settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gagknight04:
Wifi on,aod on,bluetooth off sync off,nearby device scanning off.i set my brightness at 40-50%.that's pretty much it. I am using the international variant with exynos processor by the way
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skinza:
Thats good iv got same settings as you except for aod and wifi they are off and best i can get is 7h30m

Also on exynos

Which firmware are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] y300owner:
That's an impressive SOT you got there. Similar use here yet 3 SOT.. What build are you on?

I have the Exynos version of the phone. Is the firmware same for the CMDA (Snapdragon) devices as well? My model is technically G-935FD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Toxina:
Echoe Rom with stock or ael kernel, or apc8 with stock or ael kernel for best battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skinza:
No exynos and snapdragon are 2 completely different phones

G935fd is the dual sim international version

Im pretty sure they can use the same firmware as g935f

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mattan1999:
I just updated my device to G935FXXU1APF2 and the battery life dropped from amazing battery life to really bad :(

I only get around 5 hours of SOT now, before the update I got around 8-9 hours SOT with 1d and 10hours of total battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Oxydrix:
How did you do this mods? Have you found anything better? :) I'm on exynos variant btw
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ChimpNippl3s:
My best but average between 5-7

Don't believe all people tell you about 10hrs plus sot

Unless they sit with everything turned off brightness at lowest either looping a video or just on a black screen. Trust me I've spent many many hours trying to achieve long sot using my phone as normal

Aod on

Bluetooth on

Location on

WiFi on

Autobrightness

Sync on

Data autoswitched when wifi disconnected

Dark themes

Tbo dark apps

Custom Roms with custom kernels

Power saving apps and xposed modules

Amplify

Smart network

Power nap

Greenify

Link2sd used to freeze services

Best time was 8hrs 56mins

Average day is 6hrs 30mins

If I have bad signal I struggle to get 5hrs

I have many friends who own the s7 edge and they average between 4 and 5hrs SOT using phone without trying to get high sot on stock rom and light themes

Don't listen to the bull****ters guys and remember everyone uses phone differently
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] naryraza:
Cannot post images yet, but i have about 6h-6h30 average SOT for a few weeks. Battery lasts about 24-28h depending on days.

I was curious to see how much battery is good and well, i can't complain. But now, i'm going to start to charge at 40% to keep it healthy (40% is basically at 7 or 8 pm, i'm usually home, perfectly good for me)

edit : stock rom, no root (don't want to break my warranty yet), just dark wallpaper and material black theme. I'd say 50/50 on wifi and data,
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ecmperalta:
using the phone normaly with:

bluettoh on all time

wifi on when have it

4g always on

bright in the middle or more with autobrightness

using waze 2 or 3 times a day (each time between 30min and 1h)

spotify thru bluetooth on the car with waze or not

every thing I can do on the phone I do, facebook, email, photo, instagram, youtube (a lot) and others

with very bad signal here in brazil, always changing the network, signal desappears or searching for new one, to you have some idea since we got 4g I never got full signal on 4g, NEVER...

It doesn´t matter if go to the end of the day or not, it always stays between 3h or 4h of screen on, sometimes get a little more than 4h but I never made 5h of screen on
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
If you have that bad signal is better you change in the settings for 3G it will be better for you

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] naryraza:
I might have the same issue :( i'm not sure if it's the last update or good lock though, since i installed good lock the day before i received the update. Right now, GSam tells good lock has drained 14.5% and Android System 17.7% (it used to drain about 10-14% before the update).

I'll check in a few days, i'll uninstall good lock to see if it changes anything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ecmperalta:

Mine got way better after i wiped the cache and disabled google data back up. I'm not quite sure which of these solved the issue but i'm now back to 6-7h and even more SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mattan1999:
Stock APEQ firmware.. I don't want to root my device yet :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] paullu:
I got my phone two days now this is my second charge looks not bad.

Always at 4g network and two emails account ,GPS on

Forgot to mention I turn off data at 11pm and turn on at 6am next morning
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
What country is this APEQ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mattan1999:
I guess it's europe since I live in Sweden
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Each country have a firmware some different than others.

And Sweden doesn't have APEQ firmware.

Hi i see your screenshots its very good.

But always on 4G 8.30h its very difficult to achieve even with wifi people dont get that sot.

Can you tell how you do it and send more screenshots from android OS and system.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] paullu:
I have two times more than 8 hours sot so far I got my phone four days from eBay ,phone no root everything on stock. Just when I go to sleep I turn on power saving.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You have the exynos or the Snapdragon version? What firmware.

The firsts charges are always the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] paullu:
I have exynos one .

No you are worng first charge always bad. after couple charge battery will getting better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You must have always good signal., or you turn on 4G when you need.

This is my second s7 edge, and i try all firmwares., and use 4G all day, i have bloat disabled , all settings turn off what i dont need.

And no matter what you do if you don't touch the phone and 4G is on, android OS it will get higher , only if you turn when you need it.

Or as i see you are always on the phone.

Next charge put some screenshots what apps are you using.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Diaze:
Yea but the screen tine is 4hours maximum or 5...instead of 8-9 on the s7 edge.

Usage on iphone doesnt mean sot.

You get usage even if ur listening to music with screen off..or if some apps are updating in the background
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
All of you doing +6hours of sot fo you have always on enabled?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
You probably never used a 6S Plus imho.

There is a world of difference between it and my s7 edge.

Also considering only the 75% of safari means at least 9 hours of sot. With Zero drain.

And background updating is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Diaze:
Oh ur speaking about the plus...i had the normal 6 and the battery wasnt as good as my android.

The 6 plus has very good battery

Yes I have good 4g signal .I live in NYC

Here is my last usage. GPS on, two mail account. Auto brightness.no games .last night I set to power saving from 11:30pm and turn off at 5:30am
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
But in america you only have the Snapdragon.

And your signal and speed is 100 times better than mine.

You get very good sot.

APF2 is not bad.

I only get 9h if in wifi.

But i charge every day, but i always get 3h.30m 50% or more depending on the signal.

You turn on normal power saving not the ultra saving mode.

I am using 8890 version one I ordered from eBay because before I order I did research found out Samsung chip 8890 is better than s820 on battery.

So far exynos have the best battery.

You made the right choice.

So after the new update I think so far. I have received the best battery life I have had since having the phone. By this point I would be down to 40% on the apd1 software. However I've only had the update for two days, and will be giving it the real test tomorrow at work.

The amount of people that do it even read and just react before thinking properly. I am. Saying that I have great battery life, and you say it's bad because I roam? Also there is no Good reason why roaming should take more battery than normal 4g. With me it doesn't.

Trying to push the phone today. Here is where I'm at so far. Hoping to get over 5 hours SOT. This will be a personal best, but I'm assuming the fix came from the most recent Tmobile update. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Spewed:
So this is what I have come up with. And I am finally pleased with it.

It's not as good as some, but it's certainly a nice figure to be at, without missing any major functionality from the device.
[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 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
As long as YOU'RE happy with it, then it good. It looks like the phone is sleeping correctly so that's good. It really all depends on the apps u use and how you use them.

Nobody might not have such high sot because they might listen to a lot of Spotify or music. Downloading in the background also.

As long as it's good enough for you the enjoy it. Sometimes we can get too obsessive about out battery and other mundane Things. Unnecessary stress. And unhealthy obsession IMO. Guilty too.:p

The phone is capable of 7+ sot but variables variables....

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] traneupcqk:
Thanks for your reply :D

Maybe if i use more wifi i think my SOT would be longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
I believe so also. There is definitely less battery drain when using wifi. Enjoy, it looks like It gives you a full day+ no problems, so you're good to go. I've seen ppl playing Pokemon till the phone dies in their hand. 4hours max lol

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hapibanana:
So how do you guys measure SOT? Do you use your phone til the battery drops to 0% or do you just use it as you normally would? I'd definitely have around 5-8h+ (or higher) SOT if I would be using my phone all the time but if I use it as I normally would I would have around 3h-4h SOT which lasts more than a day before it drops to around 15% (battery drained mostly on standby). Not sure if my battery is good or not
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
Yes that's normal. You're fine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hapibanana:
Alright man, thanks! Kinda getting worried that I'm not getting what I paid for.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
Yeah I hear you. But yeah, you can get up to 10hrs sot on this device if you use it constantly but between 4 and 8 if you use it moderately within a day or 24hr+. All really depends what apps and how you use your phone. Some app drain more than others
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:

You can install GSAM Battery and see what drains your battery the most.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Fab49ers:
Auto here.

I also did a last test, no SIM card, airplane mode, only WIFI on, it loses 2.3% battery/h in standby and screen off (just 3 mins SoT to check GSAM app).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Denli:
That's bad. Did you try wiping and reinstalling the complete phone? But choose not to restore your apps from Google Playstore, and then see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Fab49ers:
That's exaclty what I did, the phone has no app installed (outside GSAM), I did 2 Factory Resets and 2 Cache Wipes. I also reflashed the same ROM with Odin.

On what carrier are u? Maybe you should try a rom from a different carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
I got 30hrs runtime and 11hrs SOT the other day, and now I'm on track to get almost 3 days runtime and 9 hrs SOT. SD820 on Verizon, 50% brightness, AOD off, bloat disabled, black edition theme, lightning+ browser in amoled mode and inverted grayscale rendering when surfing forums and news and amoled mode regular rendering when surfing image heavy sites, ad blocking on. I guess I'm satisfied, but it could be better.

I pulled 6 hours sot. I run a vpn all day, listen to music and light gaming. Ended the day around 20 percent. Total about 14 hours on battery. Huge improvement over my s6 edge plus. I was lucky if I made it through work

Tmobile - snapdragon variant
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Funkym0nkey:
Its not that bad. Yours is on standby for more than 24 hours. Most people use their device more in shorter period and hence the great SOT.

Not to mention cell standby will be higher if you have poor or low signal which might be the case. That typical graph of constant slope is either due to rogue app or due to poor network causing battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nrfitchett4:
and almost 16 hours off the charger, with two extra messaging apps running all the time, and still 38% battery life left, which the phone estimates to be over 6 hours. What are you hoping for? Go for the Blue Energy phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skr_xd:
May be the MicroSD is corrupted or just needs formatting for those who have less sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] danny772:
Im hoping for battery stats like most of the people on this forum.

I'm too busy at work to use the phone a lot .. but even with light chatting and data (3g/2g) or wifi .. 5 to 10 mins of gaming throughout the day .. battery goes down by 60 to 80 percent at the end of the day. This is 3600 mAh we're talking about. =)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] y300owner:
Um desperate to know how are you guys achieving sot greater then 4 hours!

Unrooted

Barely any third party apps..Just messenger..no Facebook

Exnosys

And look at the battery drain overnight!

You are sleeping too much. If you sleep less, your battery drain will be less

I had same problem until i uninstalled everything from facebook (i found 3 apps in titanium backup, i'll add a screenshot of the names) (& offcourse i also deleted the messenger app) i went from 12-16 hours standby and about 3-4 hours OST to a full day standby with 6 -8 hours, so it must have been facebook for me.

100 to 90 wifi then 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hamer221:
How is this possible? What the **** minimum usage? Did you watch a movie or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] y300owner:
What!, what was the brightness like and wifi usage
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Just normal.

In wifi at is in auto maybe its 15% brightness.

No movie.

Just Facebook messenger and web.and what'sup a little.

But after in 4G im on 55% brightness is the normal i use.

But in this Rom i notice or could be the update for the Samsung browser it drain a lot.

I'm trying now CM browser to see if drain less.

Android OS don't consume anything in wifi.

Only in 4G but not so much as other fw i try.

I think gonna keep with this for now.
