I got my update today, still working fine on 5 ghz WiFi. Haven't tried 2,4 ghz yet [emoji79]. I'm not sure I want to know if I'm honest [emoji2] [emoji2].

Glad that your battery seems fine now

I'm more than happy with my battery (on 5 ghz) hopefully 2,4 ghz works as fine as 5 ghz now after update (but I will not test for now)

I am losing ~ 10% overnight (~8 hours) without AOD... it pisses me off. I am connected to a 5GHz WIFI, I will try the 2.4 to see if the drain lowers.

battery stats with AOD on

i have a usage of 6.4% per hour.

with AOD on, the battery usage shows 32%... :(

should i be concerned..

40% usage is because of the wifi..

Help pls during night with turned off WiFi and mobile data battery draines 15-20%
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
first of all please don't record the drain every 10 minutes as is set right now, use the default option or every 60 minutes.

I have also 10% / night and the moment I don't know what to do. I will try something tonight and I will update tomorrow morning.

to be honest not bad but you could have better results...

Mine drains very fast too if I have set screen time-out greater then 30 secs. Dont know why this happens, but everything beyond 30 secs and my phone doesnt go to sleepmode, but stays awake. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
it should go away once you connect to the WIFI and backs up everything but If you want to disable it go:

settings->backup and reset->backup my data set it off (google account)

Does anyone use a launcher, such as Nova? I was thinking of switching to that, but have heard that it potentially drains the battery worse than the TouchWiz launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
I use only NOVA because I can't stand TouchWiz so... I don't know how the drain should be on TouchWiz compared to Nova.

I know this is unrelated to the thread, but speaking of Nova, while it's been great for me so far, I'm unable to use the double tap feature to lock the screen since I need to give Nova privileges. I try to do that, but when I attempt to "activate" it, the screen freezes. Have you guys had this issue?

I'm considering to change from an iPhone to an Android phone. The S7 seems to be one of the best, but is it better than a new iPhone? What I mostly hate of the iPhones is the battery life. Samsung was even worse but it seems that this changed now? What are your experience when you compare to iphones?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
the battery is comparable with an iphone 6s plus. The battery is great on the S7 the only issue i get around 5-6 hours of screen on time but the issue is that I'm not a normal person and I would like the drain on the standby to be Zero! :p

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] aznknightz17:
My S7 drains 1% every 30mins or so. I reset completely twice already. When the phone is fresh I have no issues but as I start reinstalling apps. It drains so much. I turned off all notifications like FB, IG, Slickdeals, Games. Basically all notifications are off and yet it still drains. GSMBattery reports AndroidSystem drains the MOST! This is frustrating so bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
i feel you bro :) it's frustrating for me also!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] suprememaster:
Go to Nova settings. Scroll down to advanced and change screen lock to device admin. I have changed this setting to root. If you have root, you should set it to root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] lovec 1990:
my S7 eats 15% in 24 hours on standby and auto switching between wi-fi and mobile data all the time and my gmail account is synced all the time. Always on display is off.

is this good or bad?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] MARIO SHARK:
Thanks for the help! Works for me now, but I guess I won't use it anyway, since when I double tap to lock the screen, it forces me to enter a pattern to unlock the phone as opposed to using my fingerprint.

If you have root, you can use the fingerprint.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] darkinners:
Got my new S7 few days ago.

the standby time was horrible, sleep at22:00 last night with 100% battery, woke up at 7:00 today, 53% battery left.

Definitely somethings wrong, I did a factory reset today morning, will check again tonight how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fredriks:
In my case it's 2.4 ghz WiFi that gives me standby drain. If im on 5 ghz there's no problem with drain. Tried this last night again, have latest APQ sw and this problem still exist. This morning when I checked under WiFi settings I had no Internet connection either. That's also a problem I have when connected to 2.4 ghz WiFi but not on 5 ghz. Have had this problem on three devices now

I have a Asus router
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] darkinners:
Then thats not my case, I am using Unifi AP AC and I disabled 2.4G wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] darkinners:
Leave it idle overnight(8hours) without Doze, wake up with 53% battery left.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
A few days ago i've updated to latest version. (APEQ). I have the exynos s7. I haven't wipe anything.

I am quite impressed with the standby battery life of the device since update, at least if the phone is left on table and it doesn't move (so doze kicks in). It seems way better than before.

Wifi always on, data deactivated (i am roaming right now), location on, nfc off, bluetooth off, nearby scanning off, aod off.

Also app power saving off (with this on, the apps reloads after a time, eg few hours).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] eoraptor:
Since the last update to my Sprint S7, I definitely have also taken a hit to battery life... So I'm going to try some of the suggestions here such as turning off wifi-in-sleep and bluetooth locations, the push service uninstall, etc... I hope I don't have to do a wipe/reset.I normally get one to two bars of 3g service at home, and have been using Sprint's Wifi-calling service to cover call quality issues. Obviously games chew up a battery, but just screen-on timer or "Android Services" as many other people have reported are what are taking the biggest chunk of my battery according to the stock battery monitor. am also installing GSam,.

Hopefully something here works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] sksalvatore:
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] eoraptor:
Well none of those things seem to have helped, woke up this morning with 10% gone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
Re

Last night it consumed 1% per hour. From 30% to 22% in aprox 8hours. The battery indicator is not liniar.

Anyway, i've managed to get a little above 4SOT with 1 day and 18 hours off charge. Battery left: 5%.

Again with: wifi always on, location always on, data usage off (i'm roaming), nfc off, aod off, nearby scanning off, app power saving off, power saving off, google backup data off, samsung backup off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] eoraptor:
Okay, at this point I'm pretty sure that it's the issue of the most recent update doing something to the way the phone handles poor signal situations, because neither a factory-reset/cache clear, nor getting rid of aggressive programs like skype and cleaner master have made a dent in battery usage. guess I'll just have to get used to this crap whenever I'm, you know, in my house at one-two bars... frell.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] galaxyzalaxy:
losing about 40% overnight. losing as much as 1% a minute when the phone is hot (battery reader says 107F). i have already factory reset and disabled google backup. this is brutal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
This night I've lost 5% in ~ 8 hours. From 84% to 79%.

It has to be an app or some background activity.

Go to Settings> Developer options (to activate it go to About device > software info and tap 5 times on Built number) and enable Show CPU usage (as seen in my screenshot). Maybe post a screenshot of yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] galaxyzalaxy:
not entirely sure how to read this, but here's a screenshot:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] mefistofel666:
Here is mine! Any help would be great. The phone is sucking up the battery every minute.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DSF:
You need to look at those after few seconds of idling.

For exemple, my device got warn and i took a look and found that facebook app was consuming cpu in background. Close the apped and solved the problem (this has happen a few times, i think the facebook app is buggy).

I use the google launcher and don't have issue with that being on top.. does it consistently stay there? Do you use 'ok google' hot word detection? I have this one disabled.

Regarding system_server on top, i think it's normal if it doesn't stay too much there

Oh okay thanks, i thought my phone was getting behind or something... dumb of me to think those were doable situations, those are actually extreme situations.

Too bad we don't have phones with that kind off battery life yet.

First read some posts m8. Like whole this thread is about this problem, no one has a solution yet. Only thing you CAN do is go back to some older firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] errat1c:
you should never have clean master installed or any task killers, managers, battery savers. When i worked for sprint as a tech i would see the differences in devices with task killers and those crap apps compared to stock phones and after the phones with the task killers got rid of them, they had to re calibrate the battery and charge the phone from 1%-100% with no charging in between for a few days. i would tell customers to not touch their phone when it was plugged in for any reason until it was at 100%. fixed everyones battery drains on the people who followed it to a T

Even with disabling all bloatware i have android system battery drain. Is fingerprint sensor can cause this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] D3Seeker:
This thing. So I've had it for a month now. Bought it June 3rd, writing on July 2nd.

At first it was Ok. Standby drainwas about what my S4 was like before it took a nosedive in the month before I upgraded. For an 6-9 hour workday in the pocket, with data being turned on every now and then for roughly 30 minutes tops, of be down to about 75-65%. Better if i didn't touch the thing.

In the last 2 weeks i noticed simply checking the time this thing is going from 100% charge to 20% and below by lunch time about 6 hours in >:{

No! Not cool. Not sure if i wanna bug verizon or just get a juice pack and call it a day. I shouldn't have to abuse ultra power saving mode just to make it to an outlet. The S4 didn't start croking till 2 plus years down the line, this isn't cool plus that battery was replacable, and it has root. I feel coned
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] adamtmiller:
I'm glad to see I'm not the only having trouble, but so disappointed in this phone. I'm working out of the house today and took my the phone off the charger at 3 hours ago. I'm down to 80% with 8 minutes of screen time. I do have location, mobile data and Bluetooth running. Email is set to manual sync. Phone is stock with no app killers or custom launchers. Very often, the phone will run hot (don't know if that's from being in an Otter Box case) and slow. Just adding my story. Some good advice in here that I will try but most likely this will be my last Samsung (and Android phone) based on this experience (while I watch my son's 19 mos. old iPhone 6 out perform this "latest and greatest" everyday).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
It seems that there is a bug in the android operating system in the end. So in order to reduce the standby drain:

- When WIFI ON disable Mobile data and vice versa. Never keep them both together.

- Setting -> WIFI -> More -> Keep WIFI ON during sleep DISABLE; the downside is that when the phone goes to sleep basically you will not have internet.... but this is the only way to reduce the cell standby drain which is basically the one who kills your battery.

By doing what I mentioned above you will have a maximum of 2% drain during night time (~2% in 8 hours of sleep)

ROM is stock nothing is disabled except S VOICE and GOOGLE NOW which I don't use, I have ENABLED: Sync, Location HIGH ACCURACY and Location History is ON.

I don't understand this **** anymore but the MEGA drain is only when you're connected to Mobile Data, **** this Android ****. I am really pissed off.

Just want to add that google backup is ON.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] quarintus:
Is this your own finding, or is it widely known?

I would like to share it with some other people, but if it is your own finding I'll first test it myself.

I'm asking because people have also drian in airplane mode...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
It is my own finding with some additional data from various posts on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] id.goPLAY:
The problem is in the process of Android System and Android OS.

Yesterday I had the Android System at 23% and Android OS at 17%. I remember that I never had more than 13% and 5%.

The problem is probably with some applications where the system is doing something in the background and the phone can not go into Deep Sleep Mode.

I uninstalled some Applications that come pre-installed on the device including Instagram, Google Music, Health, Micorosoft staff (I do not use it).

I cleared the cache of Google Play Service and restart the phone.

I turned off mobile data (2G/3G) and Wi-Fi for 1 hour just to see what would happen. The phone has returned to normal. Now I install again apps like Viber, Instagram... one by one.

I always turn off (use if necessary) services such as NFC, Additional device scanning, Location, Nearby scanning device, the Advanced features, Always on Display, Google Location History and Android Device Manager.

I hope it will help someone...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] andysupa:

Hey guys. I read quite a bit. I've got an Edge S7 and the battery goes quicker than my old S5. I enjoy read quite a bit but can't find out why. The android system drains quite a big chunk and it seems the phone doesn't go to deep sleep if the app I'm using can be trusted. Any advices?

PS: Also i just realized i've posted that in the S7 forum not the Edge one. Sorry about that.

After i charge it and lets say wouldn't touch it for a while, im getting 70%+ Android system battery drain.

As I understand it technically you say no Internet no drain. Clearly some thing using Internet ruins the battery. I think that no Internet is not really a fix. Not getting emails or push notifications is a big tradeoff. Better fix is to find out which service is the problem and disable it. Just need root for that

I'm getting fed up with my one month old S7's battery.... Charged it till full, left it at 91% before sleeping at 2am, woke up at 12pm to see it at 30%. (NFC, Wifi, data and sync is turned on, but even so??????) This is way worse than what my 2 yr old HTC M8 drains. I've tried the google play store and framework disable and enabling trick, and they didn't work. Mine is the snapdragon version, perhaps it's time for me to try resetting the phone? Also, am I supposed to use smart manager's battery saving feature? I read somewhere stuff like this make it worse? I am also using clean master for now but just to help delete cache and stuff, not using their battery saving/boost ram and all.
