[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] high_voltage:
I would turn off the fast charging. With the charger that comes with the phone (2A) it will charge the phone from 0 to full for around 2:20h, and that's not bad at all. Fast charging will always decrease the lifespan of the battery, it's the first thing that I turned off even before the first charge of my s7e, half a year later the battery life is largely the same as new.

You are not alone, I saw a lot of people(+got a real life friend of mine) that have the same problem as you when updated to nougat. Most likely the reason why samsung delayed the update by so long. Hope they will fix it, but there is a way to revert to MM WITHOUT knox tripping, i.e. your warranty will be valid. You can search, there are threads how to do so. For now most likely this is the only way to fix it, samsung is slowly releasing new update with march security patches, maybe they incorporated a fix into it for the people with that problem. Don't know, I personally have a great battery life on nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Michele Lindemann:
Yeah i hope Samsung will fix this fast, they're so freaking slow with updates i hate them for that.

Yes i know there are ways to return to MM without tripping the knox counter, but to be honest, i kinda like Nougat with the new UI and all the new stuff so i will try to fix it myself before going into flashing and stuff like that (wich i do not like so much honestly) :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] feinan:
Me too! Had to turn on Power saving mode with HD Resolution to get 5 Hours SOT otherwise 3 Hours mark. My S7E is already 1 year old though. Plan to bring over Samsung to replace the battery as I likely to skip S8 for this year.. It has bigger screen but with same battery. I doubt the smaller processor will do any better than current S7E
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You can go back to MM I flash MM yesterday after tired of drain with Nougat.

Lets see now if it's software or battery is already dead.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Michele Lindemann:
If you're not interested in the new "Infinity Display" you really don't have any reasons to upgrade from the s7 edge to the s8/s8+ in my opinion, also yes the processor is 20 percent better but again, those are very small things and i don't think you can see any differences in everyday use so for me is a no go.

You could change your battery and skip to the s9 like me :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] feinan:
you have changed your battery ? does it run like a new phone ? and what's the price for the replacement? For some reason they didn't give me the price for replacement. They asked me to drop my phone there for a day or two although i was pretty sure i asked them about the price.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Michele Lindemann:
For now i'm trying just everything to achieve a decent battery drain on Nougat (I like the new UI and little new stuff) and i'm on the right path i think. Thanx to Kaffeetrinker, Ace and a few more, i'm changing few things to achieve my goal :)

I leave the downgrade to MM as my last resort, anyway if you want you can tell me if your battery has increased after the downgrade :D

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

No i haven't changed my battery yet, i'm following little tricks from some xda users to achieve a better battery life before i go to Samsung.

I really do not know the pricing, and i think it may vary from place to place (i might be wrong, i really don't know). I'm from Italy btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I do a lot of tests, same usage almost every day, same apps, and with Nougat battery don't get better, because i have always the same optimization, same settings.

And have a friend who take s7 edge to warranty and they put a new battery and now he have better battery.

Im going to do the same. Because it's not last as before.

But I'm on 2 days with MM now and dont have android OS drain in 4G as in nougat.

For now it's good
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ralls94:
Battery improved after nougat

Well guys I got to say it , I'm loving the nougat update.

I'm having atleast more 10-15% battery life

Before nougat :

Normal usage: 20 hours / SOT= 5:30 hours (4g+wifi)

Extreme usage 6:20 hours /SOT=6:10 hours (4g+wifi)

After nougat:

Normal usage: 22-24 hours /SOT=6:30 hours(4g+wifi

Extreme usage: 7-8 hours/ SOT=7:15 hours (4g+wifi)

Note : all screenshots are after the nougat update

Still can't understand how after 7 hours of SOT the screen only hooked 25% of the battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I could say after was beta program, and try a lot of Nougat roms, I'm now on MM a couple of days,and I'm gonna stay like this, until change my phone, MM give a better standby, and no OS drain in 4G.

And don't miss any feature from Nougat.

Maybe design only., auto brightness for me works better on MM, I can remove pop ups and other things, this is my opinion and the results of my tests.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] slee2714:
Dunno how the hell you guys are getting 6-8 hours SOT.

I have exynos and just flashed nougat, phone lasted around 21-22 hours (barely a day) with 2-3 hours SOT (on MM my phone would last almost 2 days)

I wouldn't say my phone has completely settled down though since flashing nougat. Any tips on getting more SOT?

1. In settings, I have resolution on 2160p and not 1080p, does this matter?

2. Does fingerprint sensor drain battery?

3. I've read on here that fast charging is bad....should I stop doing this?

4. Always on display, if I turn this off will I get a lot more SOT?

5. Any other tips....do you guys disable packages or restrict apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] high_voltage:
1. No, the difference is small if you are not playing games.

2. No.

3. Yes, it will shorten the lifespan of the battery. If you don't need super fast charge, turn it off. It will still charge fast(0-100 for 2:20h).

4. You will get a lot better standby time and thus screen on time from one charge. AOD is draining the battery by a lot, actually.

5. Not needed, nougat will put them to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tuk1maar:
After months of trying out roms (including stock rom) (each rom I used for at least 1 month, always full wipe (including internal storage)) my conclusion is: go back to MM. Nougat is simply terrible for battery life on our S7 Edge. I'm getting about 20h uptime with 2-3 SOT. It's less than half of what I got on Android 6 MM. Idle drain on Nougat is pathetic as well. I lost 7% over night (AOD is always turned off) whereas my Galaxy A5 2016 on the same provider, same apps and settings only drained 1% (both phones idle next my bed at night).

My A5 2016 (stock latest MM) is currently at 5h30min SOT (920mAh) at 51% with 19H standby. My S7 Edge (stock latest Nougat) is at 92%, 16 MINUTES SOT (25mAh), 8h30min standby.

Do you people see the problem? A midrange phone (5.1" almost equal bright display amoled panel as our S7 Edge) is severely outlasting my S7 Edge on Nougat (on MM, my S7 Edge outlasted the A5 2016).

The point is, the phone HAS TO WORK with you NOT having to tinker around with it. Our S7 Edge did this on MM APC8, APG2, APG3, APF2, but now on Nougat it's terrible (just like all other phones on Nougat, they all got way worse batterylife now).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] slee2714:
Wtf? Which MM rom are you using currently / which MM rom has best battery life? I upgraded to nougat just for spay but after actually using spay I realized I had just been over hyping it in my head. So now I'm considering flashing custom mm rom.

Edit: BTW, I've had my edge for almost 1 year now, fast charging all the time. Should I pay for a battery replacement, on top of flashing a debloated mm rom?

2nd Edit: Unplugged my 100% charged nougat at 9ish AM, it is now noon and I am at 70%. This is ridiculous, and I can't tell if it is because of my old/abused fast charged battery or because of nougat or both
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jj03:
got this over two days. running nougat (installed 5 days ago...). gota say, its two hours more than what i got on marshmallow...very impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] slee2714:
Please post your usage pattern, apps, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jasons1004:
G935t stock AF 7.0

So it's mostly video but my sot is outstanding... these are still with about 50% left too....

:update -19% left with 11hrs6minsSOT so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Blackblock92:
What version of nougat are you using?

Stock rom or rooted ?

Very impressive SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jj03:
was updated by EE, so EVR. standard 7.0

This always 4G?

What brightness?

It's the phone new?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jasons1004:
Maybe 50/50 4gLTE / WIFI

never more than 50% (inside all day but kept on AUTO tho)

I have had the phone maybe 6months so it is still pretty new.

I have been using fast charging too but now I leave it off for battery health down the road.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I could say even with 50 /50 4G wifi and 50% brightness that was impossible, never I did that even with videos, with low brightness or only in wifi, you must have a good battery, I do a lot to of tests, and my max 10h with MM not Nougat.

What settings and apps did you disabled.?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] feinan:
So Ive just got my S7E Exynos back from Service Center, used this phone for almost a year(warranty end this month).

I took my phone for Battery Change and see how it perform. After all these months of using Fast Charging every single night and I barely touch 4 hours SOT with helps of Power Saving after 30% battery last week before i sent them (attached).

Dual sim, 4G, Location High Accuracy, Wifi, 6 sync accounts were always on. using Whatsapp, Facebook, Path, Line, Instagram, Metatrader4.

Just Restored my phone and seeing a good 5-6Hours SOT without power saving now! WOW! Basically new phone! :D:D

I think is by far easiest battery saving method and yes you should do it also and of course its Free(if you're still under warranty)

I'm skipping S8 this year :D :D :D

Will update more pics from new battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] feinan:
Update!! Just hit 3 hours and still got 50%... 6Hours should be easy! basically turn on everything..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ranwej:
I bought my phone week ago, SOT is around 9h on Android 7.0. That's on 3G+Wifi, no AOD, mostly browsing, some youtube videos, autobrightness and indoor use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Blackpt:
I get 3 hours tops!

My phone is now a year old, always charged with fast charging, every night.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] high_voltage:
Never ever use fast charge, it will destroy your battery in no time! The first thing I did when I got my s7e is to turn it off, after 8 months the battery still perform as new.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
Is this good enough?i don really know,i am new to tech and this forum.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
Do any of you guys have a problem like when i din touch my phone and leave it to charge it would charge at a normal rate for the last 10% at about 2-3 minutes per %. But if u touch it when it reach 90%,i mean if u use it at that time and afterthat u leave it there again,its charge rate change to about 1% in 1 minute which is abnormal for the last 10%,anyone has this problem and how could i solve it?thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] zsszeli199417:
I am still getting pretty bad sot.. plus sometimes my phone gets warm (not hot, only warm).. I am rocking a silicone case on the Exynos variant. any advices? was upgraded to nougat thru odin, but got an ota since then. wasnt factory resetted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Msingh48:
Wonderful sot even lte volte network is on all the time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] devblade:
Thats good... based on your screenshot, you will get 5 Hours SOT on 100% charge, which is great compared to my 3 hours maximum... I listen to music a lot I guess but that is still ridiculous, its always been like this. My S6 before this was exactly the same, whereas I had friends that could easily last two days on one charge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] zsszeli199417:
got 3h 40m, and plugged in charger at 7%, so around 4h from 100% to 0%. Now drain seems about fine, I removed a lot of apps, and stopped a lot with built-in ram manager. Music doesn't drain a lot for me tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
I cant get good standby drain though,will it be because of the weak 4g signal that causes the drain?when i am in airplane mode it only drain abt 1% per hour or more but when i am in 4g it drain like about 3-4% per hour,aod on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheRock12341:
Is this good?

I get 1 day and 9 hours 31 minutes on my s7 edge exynos with 19% still left overall not screen on time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] pachoeche:
Not normal, isn't it?

Hi guys! I've got my s7 edge almost 10 months ago and i feel like the battery just went worse. I made a hard reset a few days ago and i'm getting this battery life.

My friend what kind of rom are you using ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Stock Rom using medium power saver mode played some games. Fifa mobile and ufc mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] lonton:
Still much better than me :(

Do you guys have any ideas ? Very bad SOT. All stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Amine_Zack:
Can't get those who can achieve 9+ hours screen on time ! I mean, do they even use their phone ? Max I could get was 5h30 on a busy day, using LTE, switching to WiFi when I can, making phone calls, taking some pictures, using all social media apps, FB, Twitter, Instagram, Viber.

But 9+ hours ? That is impossible for me to get, unless I'm home, using only WiFi, lowest brightness and watching YouTube videos.

How is that possible ? And don't give me the "debloat" thing cuz it takes away everything the phone has to offer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jasons1004:
hahaha......well my SOT is crazy (~11hrs SOT) due to watching videos almost all day.

I watch a lot of youtube / netflix / showbox - I will not use more than 5-% brightness as well.

sammy phones are really good with video

If I don't watch ANY videos and use my phone for other stuff all day I get about 6-8hrs at most.

So that being said - I am stock tmobile g935t with as much disabled as I can, no extra apps, I even use facebook thru the sammy browser.

my phone is maybe 7months old too so my battery is still young compared to some.

Hope that helps...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Facebook app kills battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
That's why some people remove this (trap) app and replace it with fblite, facebook material, etc which is light and battery-saving
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Stevica Smederevac:
Not really :D I was surprised to. Never used Facebook and messenger until 2 days ago and battery is the same if not better :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
I don't use Facebook anyway find it boring lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Nearly 7 hours no Wi-Fi used at all played fifa mobile some WhatsApp. EBay Amazon YouTube and a few other apps ,also streamed the Manchester derby on a football live app.best result I've had so far
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
Hello guys,do u think that this standby drain combine with SOT is good?AOD on,4g and 3g signal very weak,only one or two bars,most of the time is one bar and sometimes no bar at all and will lose signal.din play any games,just internet whatsapp and wechat,qq as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Amine_Zack:
I never noticed any difference in battery life without social apps, like Facebook, Instgram or Twitter.

Now I'm getting 6 to 7 hours on screen times, normal use, light games, mostly FB, Messenger, Twitter, Instagram and watching some Youtube, listening to music (default App + Viper) and GPS on all day, 4G+WiFi, some pics and videos.

I concider it an awesome battery life. STILL not getting the 9h+ though :laugh::laugh:

Better than stock nougat would you say
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] :
No if you were gonna flash a ROM for battery better stats than Stock nougat install a ROM based on stock nougat with some battery tweaks ;)

Also every S8 port currently does have at least some issues.

Having said that im using ProjectDream s8+ port as my daily anyway as it gives more than enough battery life for me as im sure ProjectAlice does :)

Lasts a full day for me and i spend at least 3 hours gaming on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Which 1 would you recommend
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] efkka23:
No. You wrong if yuo choose cpu governor like me batery life is super just need a lot work while yuo make for yuorself good phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jidhin George:
S7 Edge Exynos 128GB dual SIM SM-G935FD

I have been using with medium power saving mode with black theme and more black contents, disabled few unnecessary apps. Used to see 8:30+ hours SOT. Now I am trying with no power saver, WiFi connected almost all the time, YouTube and Chrome frequently, some music. I could see 7+ hours SOT with 30% left. I think I'll keep the saver OFF, power saver limits device performance quite a bit.

Yesterday was something special, I charged my S7 Edge from the Samsung Charger for the first time and was able to get 9+ hours of screen on time with 1 Day in standby, Testing it again today and will share the screenshot in case my phone repeats this performance again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
9 hours screen time? Not possible
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
Possible for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rohit_tripathi60:
haha yeah, I have exynos version. I did not believe it either, had uninstalled chrome started using the stock browser, 1 Day standby and 9:10 hours of screen on time. previously it was more like 6 - 6:30 hours of screen on time with 18 hours of standby but chrome and whatsapp were top battery drainer than, lets see i am doing the same experiment today again, will share the screenshot.

PS: I have nothing to gain by claiming something which is not true :)

Do you have a link to the romand that is outstanding battery life fair play.im on stock at the moment and the battery isn't great get about 5 hours screen time

micro g services core ??? is best for battery???it is a pity that you can not put stock in
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] efkka23:
Did this kernel beter than super stock? I mean abuot performance and batery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
Pm for link the rom (non xda rom). Kernel search in xda. Btw, your sot (5hr) is not bad. I achieved it because of very minimal usage

I do not discuss microg here because there is a thread of its own. As information, I am now in 2nd rom which incidentally complete with google service. Already 24h idle with 6hrs sot and about 22% battery. So i know exactly the difference both because i use 2 different roms with different service (google service - microG)

I can not say better. Only, I got more because this kernel is a lot of customization. For performance there, battery also exist.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
I tried from the beginning of the flash kernel to 2 times the charging period, and there was no significant difference.

It turns out that makes a good sot is when I see the video. (About 7-8 mins for 1% battery). Because that's when the cpu work is not heavy. And it can not be achieved while browsing or even gaming
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] efkka23:
Yes some time ago i use morokernel cpu Governor lion king and watching yuotube like yuo say 7 8 % per 1 hour. But other things like browsing or facebook with mesenger draining batery alot more
