Can I just ask you guys getting 5-6 hours screen on time, do you do nothing else but leave the screen on? I've had 2 of these phones, S7 and S7E and I'm lucky if I can get 2 hours screen on time and thats with just checking facebook, emails and snapchat etc, no gaming or anything. With the screen on I drain at about 1% per 1-2 mins. With the screen of I drain at about 1% per hour. It actually puts me off using the phone if I'm honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
That's not possible, can you share some screenshots with us.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
2 hours? No way it's that bad
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Shan89:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rohit_tripathi60:
Ok, this phone is a beast :), yesterday I was watching movies on Youtube and it lasted around 14 hours with 12 hours Screen on time on 4g. Never had anything even close to this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:

The latest update messed something on my S7E...i was getting 8-9h SOT constantly now i only get 5h max and today it got even worse barely 4h...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
This is what I got after deciding to finally factory reset after updating to 7.0. People have said after factory resetting after major update could fix battery life but hasn't fixed it for me. The screen shot of my sot shows 4 hours but it stayed on 1 percent for 2 hours and I got another 30 mins of sot. I have no idea why my android system is higher. I used to get 6 hours of sot back when it was on APB7 6.0. Can anyone help?

I have also had the phone since may 1st 2016
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
Have anything disabled or something different with your settings, just anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
No just medium power saving mode with cpu not restricted location off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I already had WiFi and Bluetooth scanning off but what's the point of power saving with CPU restrictions off?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Because it still saves battery just still has the phone at full speed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I took it off charger at 7 20 and haven't used it until now and this is what I got with battery saving on with background apps off and no limit on cpu. Still not happy as it still drains more than 1 percent an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheAstriX:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
what disabled apps or settings have you done?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheAstriX:

S7 edge, nougat, stock everything.

Guys, help me? always 2-3min - 1 percent.

on screen: 3 hours.

Only facebook messenger viber outlook

Already tried factory reset :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
What do you have turn on?

Sync GPS, consume a lot of battery..

You can choose a black theme, and use the brightness how you need it.

But in 4G you can't get much better, signal is very important, however i don't know how is the dual sim battery,

But if your signal is bad battery it will disappear quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
I use a dark theme have location off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning off power saving mode on but the cpu on full speed as I play fifa and pes.my result from yesterday all on mobile data no Wi-Fi
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
5 hours and 30 minutes is good. At least it's better than mine. If you look on the previous page you will see my screenshots. I have location on device only and sometimes battery saving, black theme, wifi and bluetooth scanning off, sync is on but only what i want to synced. I now get 4 hours of SOT. Back on February 2016 security patch I would get 6 hours of SOT and android system percentage wouldn't be higher than screen but even on 7.0 it still is...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Strange,my screen is on top but sometimes Android system is if I'm in a bad signal area
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
Does signal impact android system?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
Try in stock. And it turns out google play service really amazing kill my battery. 20% and spent about 884 mAh. SOT 3hr 40mnt and only spend 497 mAh
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
What Google apps do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
Map, drive and youtube. I did not even use those apps for a week

#Strange, after several reboots all like normal. Now only 1% power consumed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Google could be big battery drain for who use a lot of Google.

I don't use nothing, not even back up, don't need it.

Only for calendar and apps that is really need it.

Google services don't show on battery status, only if i use playstore a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
Took the phone off charger at 7 20 and didn't use it until now and it still drained a lot. I'm going to start disabling more packages if this keeps up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Mike31285:
This is my battery life at stock nougat on s7edge.

I beleive battery is not very good and i need any help or recommendations please..

Today the phone is all day connected to wifi and using mostly the whatsapp application. Thanks. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Mike31285:
I upload again the same screenshots at english language..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GianDE88:
I've only had 1h 53 minutes and I'm down to 62%. I never get down to 12% or 15% but I don't believe mine would get more than 3 hrs screen time before I charged it.

Others are having battery drain issues since the Nougat update, or?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Good result so far
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I've had bad battery drain since the first security update last year on marshmallow with android system being high all the time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jidhin George:
SOT 8h30min+ even after recent May security update.

I could see near 9hours SOT after the May security update. I always enjoy 8 hours SOT ever since I own this device, I don't know about others.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
Not me. Never cracked 7 even on first ever security patch. Made it to 6hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jidhin George:
Heavy usage might be! Still far better from other flagships.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
Don't look like heavy usage to me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jidhin George:
LTE data ON, Bluetooth ON and I think you have a few power hungry apps, compare with some HTC or LG phones, I did have. And believe me S7 Edge is much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
The only power hungry apps I have are Facebook messenger and snapchat. Not sure if twitter is one of them
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Mike31285:
mine NEVER gets over 3-4 hours screen on time.

NEVER.

wifi/data/gps/auto-brightness ALWAYS ON.

charging with fast charge.

leaving the phone charging all over the night
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GianDE88:
I'm at 55% and have 1 hr 48 minutes, so I am assuming that max I'd get was 3 to 3.5 hrs. Blah. My old SD used to make it through a whole day with plenty of use and end the day in the high 70s and low 80s.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] NeoandGeo:
Same. I get about 4 hours max of screen on time, but I have the same settings as you, use the Always On Display, play a good bit of Star Wars:GOH, have Samsung Health tracking on and use Chrome throughout the day.

I can get to 7 hours of SOT If I use a dimmer screen, turn off all non-essential functions/sync operations etc. But making my phone last multiple days without a charge isn't important to me unless I need to prolong the battery life and won't be near a charger for a while. It's nice to have the best of both worlds when appropriate though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sephkateno:
S7 edge on s8 port. Wifi and gps on all day brightness to 50%

Although it's not shown my battery was at 50% at the time of the screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] NeoandGeo:
Looks about right for low usage/idling with the screen on half brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sephkateno:
Actuallly most of the time i was on facebook viewings some vids on youtube about 2 and a half hours there and some reading. So yeah light usage this rom is awesome :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] NeoandGeo:
A low-moderate amount of videos with a hefty dosage of CPU idling with a low amount of screen interaction while on half brightness. Remember, touching the screen and activating the surfaceflinger, switching or launching apps will consume much more CPU/battery than having a video playing on the screen not actively interacting with the device.

Like I said, your SOT looks average for low phone usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
well, i'm not sure exactly. i don't really time what app i am using for this amount of time, or how many times i do that. i just use my phone to do what i need to do, and it works out like this. i can tell you that i watch tons of youtube vids, play very few games, do a lot of twitter, fb and email work, take a lot of pic's and vids, edit them, use maps and calendars, have a crapload of widgets and read a lot of news.

do you use a dark theme? have you optimized your apps? do you keep data, sync and nfc on all the time? i don't turn on data or sync until i need them. i do most of what i do on wifi. not because i try to, but because most everywhere i am, has wifi, so why waste data. i also have notifications turned off for almost everything except a few apps that i want to get notifications from. today i just got under 8 hours sot, but my phone was on for one day and 8 hours. so it changes sometimes. but mostly i get well over 8 hours of sot. btw, i keep my brightness down around 40% for more than 90% of the time, because i rarely need it brighter than that. i just remembered, i also turned off touch sounds, lock sounds, charging sounds, keypad dialing sounds, keyboard sounds, and keyboard vibrations, as well as other hepatic feedback for everything except calls. those things take up a ton of battery without people really realizing it. but i do have 'always on" on, and edge notifications.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Hoggles:
I'm at around 6-7 hours of SOT per day. And when I plug it in each night... I still have 20-30% left.

Back when I was geeking out on it all day, I had a few 9.5 hour SOT days.

I have Nova 3.3 on it, along with a dark theme from the theme store. Love it.

Excellent battery life in these.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrcricket23:
I am really surprised with battery life on mine. I just got my exynos s7 edge 3/23, used it yesterday. Unplugged at 8:30 am reconnected to charger again that same day at 11pm and I still had 29% left. I got 5 1/2 hours of screen on time. I have GPS&Wifi turned on the whole time, brightness on automatic but pretty much almost at max, connected on my G Watch R the whole time. Mostly just browsing a couple of forums, but I did watch a whole episode of Daredevil on Netflix. And a couple of youtube videos here and there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rodnii:
Snapdragon 820 here. A little over 8 hours SOT, finally. Only disabled T-Mobile bloatware and Game Services with PDP; and unused system apps like Hangouts, Lookout, etc. from the application manager. Location services always on (but set to GPS only), bluetooth only on when I'm in my car, no nearby devices scanning, no bluetooth/wifi scanning, no location history because I don't need it yet. 1 gmail and 1 outlook email account syncing. Wifi off during sleep.

Played a few games and watched The 100 on Netflix, some youtube. Installed/uninstalled apps throughout the day, and web browsing with Samsung's internet browser + adblock fast. Brightness around 30 to 40 percent most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Karo.:
Any one can confirm only 3 hours sot on dual sim versions? I think all dual sims drain more battery even with 1 sim active
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] N77NS:
;)

only 8h :o:o:o:o:o 89%
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jmm22:
I hit about 5 hours SOT and 15-20 hours standby and will end around 10-15%. That's with WiFi, auto brightness, location on. Nothing disabled on SD820. I can't complain
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] AvivEliyahu:
I got the exynos model, i get 5:40 - 7:00 SOT and total of 20-24 hours until i need to re-charge it (depends if using wifi or not, usually its mixed) which is FAR better than what i used to have (2-4 max on my nexus 5 and former lg g4)

Main usage is tapatalk, web browsing, news apps, phone calls (yeah it does that too!), sms, whatsapp and facebook! very satisfied from that battery. it just refuses to end!

No pics since im writing through my pc... ill post it next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] alex_mx:
Exynos variant, definitely I can't complain, super happy with that usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Darkseth:
Ah i see.

I use the "Zero Dark" theme, since that has quite a nice color setup in most cases. Do you have certain Dark themes to recommend? Or which theme do you use?

I have Data, sync, Wlan fulltime on (since that mostly never drains more than 1-3% Battery), NFC off since i never use it.. Deinstalled a few stuff lately i don't use, and on others i deactivated notifications.

Today i managed to get 5 hours screen on time at exactly 50% battery left. Then i went off to the city, played a game for 20-25 minutes, which drained a bit. Not i'm at 7:24 hours screen on time, and 17% left. Without the Game, i probably would have 25% battery left now.

Also deactivated sounds/vibrations, except the normal notification stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
good. data and sync i keep off unless i need them to be on, because they can eat up a good bit of battery if you aren't careful. but other than that, sounds like you have it doing well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] izephyr:
I got a dual sim variant with 6+ hours SOT and 20+hours usage. I am a heavy user (I think :P).

First charge cycle since i installed batman rom 1.1.1 (ported s8 rom) Flashed Notorious kernel right after rom installation since i prefer the wakelock control in MTweaks that batmankernel doesn't support.

I more or less used the phone from 100% to 2% in one go without any standby time or putting away the device so I'm very happy with the 7 hour SOT which only will increase when the kernel settles in after 2-3 days time which will result in a 2-3 hour extra bump in the SOT department with same type of usage. Since I've applied the wakelock tweak In Tweaks as the third SS shows my standby drain will be 1% every 3 hour using greenify to compliment the aggressive doze. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] matrix009:
Hi guys,

I've watched most of the screens posted on the thread. How is it that you've been able to make 8h of display? My max time is 4h with all day wi-fi active only. It's impossibile. I have all disable, app samsung, service, i set the black theme but the battery life is the same. Can anybody tell me what you did?

P.s. i have Rom stock Nougat, flash rom stock without update.

I've already Tried factory reset but i have the same duration.

I just can not figure out how you can make all those hours of display. It seems impossible to me. Can you tell me what you did exactly?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] lilliput222:
check your battery wear then ... suing accubattery app ... i think the problem with battery itself
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] matrix009:
The phone has just one year and the duration has always been this. 3h and 30 4h of display. The phone goes deep sleep and I did not notice any other problems. Simply consumes when used. I do not know how to make others 7h or 8h of display.

If anyone has a guide to follow it could link it?
