Hey Guys. Im on the latest September Patch too.

I got only around 3 h sot. Then i tried greenify's agressive doze/doze on the go with non root workaround and the App Force Doze that kicks the Phone into Doze after Sreen Off. With this Apps im getting around 2 hours Sot more. My Android System is still to high....about 20% + with around 3 hours CPU usage in around 15 hours.... Dont know how to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] IOmega666:
Same boat too! I get up to work at 8AM, unplugged the phone from the charger and about 11AM i have 70% left with 1h SoT, It's the worst battery life I had in a smartphone. Was considering buying the Huawei Mate 8 or the S7 EDGE, decided to buy the EDGE because it's more confortable, better screen and camera, but now, I'm really regretting the decision.

Android System takes up at least 15~20% of my battery life in a "good day", there are some days when it drains up like 40~45%, it's ridiculous and a shame, cause the phone is a fine piece of hardware but that software, man, Samsung has a lot to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
When android system is 45% you are using the phone or is in standby.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meblah741:
When I turn off Bluetooth and then go into recovery to clear cache and reboot with Bluetooth off the phone goes to deep sleep. I haven't done it recently because like everyone else has stated this isn't something we should be doing to get a day out of this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
So is APC8 still the best choice?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Only for wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Which one would you say it's best for everything? (mobile data mostly)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
I personally disagree but it is all based on usage and I haven't tested every firmware, I can't be bothered to go through all of that.

For the past two weeks I have walked 5-7km every day using S Health, GPS on for the entire duration.

I'm in the park so of course, constantly on 4g only - I always started at 100% - I don't use fast charging

APC8 - 1 Hour 30 min - 15 to 18% drained with Spotify & GPS running the whole time - Android System - No greater than 10%/70mAh

APD3 - 1 Hour 30 min - 20 to 25% drained with Spotify & GPS running the whole time - Android System - Lowest - 17%/160 mAh - Highest 26%/240mAh

BPHJ - 1 Hour 30 min - 18 to 25% drained with Spotify & GPS running the whole time - Android System - Lowest - 22%/190 mAh - Highest 29%/300mAh

BPHJ in actual usage is not that bad. The problem I find is in the standby time. Going from APC8 to BPHJ for example, I lose 1 hour SOT which is not the end of the world. However, I EASILY lose a good 10-15 hours standby time.

APC8 - Max Standby - 40 hours WiFi - 34 hours 4g

BPHJ - Max Standby - 24 hours WiFi - 16 hours 4g

The following is based on my usage. I wrote the values for 14 days in my Google Keep, was easier to check two values (battery drained, android system mAh) than to screenshot everything. Your mileage may vary but for me, APC8 is still the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Tell me something , how is your android OS with 4G?

And i give up on BPHJ and flash Again BPHC its were you have the standby.

The thing im struggling is the android OS , i really don't know what happen , because i only had 1 week android OS low with 4G, then start coming up like always was, i already flash all firmwares and install apps with and without backup , one by one, all ways possible.

Check every settings i have all the same,

And the standby in 4G is not bad , but the android OS always come first that the battery standby.

I read a lot to try figure out and can find it.

I assume Google services is the main problem.

And some updates coud cause more drain.

In Canada firmware is possible to restrict background , and 935F there is no option to restrict.

Samsung push service and Google services a years ago was possible to restrict and disable, now Samsung makes bigger battery and more bloatware.

Its crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Hmmm I didn't even have android os in newer builds, only APC8 and APD3

Right now:

- 20 hours standby on 4g

- 5 hours SOT

- 32% remaining

- Android OS = 10%/240 mAh

- Android System 6%/140 mAh

I restore non system apps with Titanium Backup

Location set to GPS, WiFi and Mobile Networks

Auto Brightness always on

Location History Off

Google Now Off

Haven't disabled any bloatware

All Google Sync's are on
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Smith 001:
I can't go through all the 210 page,I'm confused if S7 edge battery drains so fast that can't last two days normal use(at least).

I love it,especially the VR and I going to buy one.

But someone said the note 7 is better,they waiting the replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
How much mAh you have in cell standby? Together with android os and system.?

My average sot in 4G until 50% is always around 3h to 3h30m depending on the brightness and the weather , is the phone goes to 38 40 degrees it will drain faster, if stays around 30 32 degrees last more.

This in 14h standby because I charge almost every day .

What makes a little difference is when standby is good.

In wifi never had problems.

But in 4G is difficult to get deepsleep because i don't let the phone sleep.

Hope that new feature Doze on the go helps.

But the android OS is a bigger problem , of course if use the phone with a little mix usage the android OS dont go over 15 18%

Ex , if i leave charger(always reboot) and turn on 4G and dont use the phone after 1h android OS is at 100% when at first should be cell standby.

I try to restrict all data , power saving.

Nothing works.

All apps are always optimaze less mail and messenger.

Here is what I have disabled

Let me know what you think and if is something wrong.

In Google i have only playstore and YouTube. No sync no need for the emails. The app i have received with sync off.

No location.

And already try it in safe mode android OS is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
It is possible that you have debloated too much? There are some things that the system will try to run even if you have disabled them, causing them to drain more. I would try comparing results but disabling a few things at a time personally.

My phone is charged again but when I drain it again I'll let you know the cell standby mAh
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
There is not that much , most are Google stuff.

I always disabled the same , that its why i don't know what happen that week.

Yesterday i remove Google services and updated by a new version with APK not available in playstore.

Lets see.

Until now wifi is good.

Only tomorrow i can test it in 4G.

Btw i send you PM.

Is this normal? Been using new firmware for ~4 days. I don't think android system was this high before. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anibalhuneeus:
So... Long time since I hadn't posted in this thread.

I am currently running Efficient custom ROM 3.4

After 40% of use (100 -> 60) I have the following consumptions:

Android System: 238 mh

Android OS: 117 mh

Cell Standby: 65 mh

TOTAL: 420 mh

I read here that for every 10% of use, approximately 100 mh of consumption should come from the sum of this items, so I guess I'm almost close to being OK

Any comments are welcome, photo attached

Cheers

Is this normal? I'm about to throw away this phone..

Just 38 min of Clash Royale, WiFi almost all day and 50 min of Spotify.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Hi, yes that is the amount of mAh no matter the usage with connections on of course, its always around 100 for 10% battery. , its seems the software was made always to drain that amount.

I dont find answer for that.

And today i was with a friend with a WIKO and ask him to check the settings just for curiosity he was always on 4G and no android system neither OS only screen and apps.

This shiity Samsung is always the same.

That's weird could be from Spotify with the screen off.

That's the rom i have and like more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] biustech:
well, in your case something it's not right mate. have you tried factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] expiredd:
Forgot to mention I've android wear watch paired.. I'm thinking to stop using it. I think android wear could be preventing the phone from deep sleeping.

I don't know if someone else with wear could give his feedback. I can't check wakelocks since I'm not rooted. What I'm sure is that doze is not kicking in.

When you wasted 40% what was the standby time? I mean how many hours since unpluged?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
I tried using Package Disabler Pro as it seems to work for a lot of People...so i followed different lists but even though it shows that my system uses less ram than before, it certainly drains more battery than before
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hamer221:
So apc rom is best for low system drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Or supermanrom maybe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Oldsc0ool:
I also had this drain. I innstalled E E Rom 3.4 and now it is gone for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Well its the first charge after i flash the new rom.

But this never happen

No android system until 92%
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] expiredd:
Which ROM custom or stock? Version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
New stock ZTO BPIF, it seems very similar to ACP8 but in 4G sucks.

But the amount is always the same i little android OS a little less android System, and its around the 100mAh per 10%.

And the sot its not better..

Let see next charges.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hamer221:
I got samw rom and seems pretty much the same as others
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Did you do a clean flash with 4 files.?

For me the best BPHC XSA.

But for me wifi doesn't matter only 4G, but i will test this rom in wifi to see if its close to ACP8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hamer221:
I had bhpc from zto and I flashed the new one over the air. Can't wait to see the difference between apc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Remember high android system doesn't mean bad Sot, im on 4G and android system is low like ACP8 but sot is worse for now, and no standby.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ammadb:
too many comments.

Any solution to this drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
No .

Android system is apps and functions and software too.

But my counts dont fail.

For what i notice android OS is much worse to solve than the android system, at least for my usage and tests.

I don't mind to have 15 to 17% android system in wifi and make 1h sot for 10% because in BPHC on wifi is very good Sot and standby.

This new Rom ZTO android system is low but OS is High.

And Sot bad.

I know i see here some users with high android system but could be also some apps and settings are helping the drain and touchwiz it self.

I have seen some other cheaper phones like Wiko don't have this problem.

I flash all the roms and i know after the first charge right away if is good or not ,but for my usage.

But i see here most of people have the normal usage ,facebook messenger what'sup youtube browser.

I think we have to try the best apps for us.

And the crap of the Google services are always there ,and we can do nothing.

Not using Android wear watch for one day.. And android system drain has been shot down, much better battery life. So sad it's so badly integrated.. So no more Bluetooth for a while. Phone is less warm now also when using it for large periods of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meblah741:
Yep, I have my android watch connected and the battery life on the phone sucked. When I leave work it is down to s4 levels around 30-40% . Phone never goes to deep sleep. I think it's a WiFi bug in general. If you turn off Bluetooth then remember to clear your cache too in recovery. Once I did that the standby battery was showing 300 hours and by the time I left work it would be around 60-70% with deep sleep.

The other thing I haven't fully tested is if the battery reaches 100% and Bluetooth is turned off. Does it still drain ? I think I will test that tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BadassOverlord:
I'm also getting really high battery drain. Android system is using up more than half my battery! I don't understand what's going on. I'm using a rooted S7 Edge with encryption disabled (via TWRP), and Wanam's Modified xposed framework installed. Anyone know what's going on? Also, I can't post links because I literally just made my account to post this.

First screenshot only wifi.

Then only with 4G until now

No matter what i do in 4G in standby android OS always get high.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
I still think you are disabling too much. My Android OS never does that on APC8. My Android OS right now, before I charged was 8%, phone been on almost 30 hours all on 4G, nearly 6 hour SOT. Android OS mAh - 220

Even with root, you have more mAh than the stock.

You consume more than 100mAh per 10% .

What you have better is deepsleep. And less 150apps.

With 30%brightness i can do more than 4h in 4G in 50% battery.

Try full brightness at the sun and let me know.

I see you use a lot of google try to dont use anything.

have resetted it a few days ago :P only with basic apps installed...not much of a difference

tried safe mode too, i dont remember the results very detailled anymore but it wasnt very significant or anything
