I have the S7 edge (Exynos) and have a drian of 6%. All stock, no root. Just disable some bloat with package disabler Pro. 4G and Wifi on. Okay for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] milindck:
Not sure what to tell you if grep command is not working. The only other thing you can do is run the command

adb shell dumpsys power

and then post the output here. I will then see what is going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] snake2332:
Lately, battery drain sucks for me. 6%/hr drain when it should be deep sleeping (or dozing, whatever). The drain used to be 2%/hr prior to the latest large update, which was still crap compared to my daughters Note4, but was acceptable.

I use AOD but all other Samsung special features off.

EZ Disabler installed and bloat disabled/removed.

WIFI always on.

Nova Launcher Prime.

Not even touching my phone and it won't make it through a day - not even close really, as it will die after about 16 hours of no activity.

Battery hogs are: Android System and Kernel - not sure what I can do about those. Also, wifi using about 33% overall, so 2%/hr battery drain from WIFI alone, and this is mostly when the phone is just in my pocket at home or work. It used to be different than this.

Diving in to try and figure it now. Uninstalling apps, turning off AOD, turning wifi off unless charging, etc. Man I hate doing this ****, trying to figure out what is slowing it down and eating battery. Also hating how slow this stupid device is. Isn't it supposed to be one of the fastest devices made? Double-tap to open camera takes 2-3 seconds, then hitting record to record a video is another 2-3 seconds. I missed the vital beginning of a piano song my daughter was playing because of how stupidly slow it is when you hit RECORD. I went to take a photo a few hours later, and hit the capture button 4 times about a second apart...it only registered the first touch instead of taking 4 pictures like it used to do, or like I used to do with slower older devices. Then there are times when I'll pull out the phone, click HOME and let it use fingerprint to unlock, hit Messages, it's a 2 second delay before messages shows up, hit home again, 2 second delay, hit recent apps, 3 or 4 second delay, hit camera, 2 second delay....my Galaxy Nexus with 4.0 was faster than this. Getting sick of Samsung and Androids **** lately. I used to have time to deal with it, but lately I just wish they'd stop updating the OS because it seems like it's just a slow-ass battery hog now. I'll probably just reset factory settings and start over cuz nothing I do is gonna help. Man I wish root wasn't garbage for this device and I wish the bootloader wasn't locked because some slimmed down AOSP or Cyanogen rom would be really refreshing on this beast. Probably gonna be my last Samsung, even if they make the best hardware.

SORRY......RANT OVER

How do I pinpoint what's draining my battery overnight? Been having around 4%/hr drain lately but tried going airplane mode then it went back to the usual 1%/hr. Not sure if a bad phone signal can cause this much drain or if something is syncing repeatedly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
using a black theme, greenify and amplify i have excellent standby time. also battery optimize all apps which aren't actively needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Hi Guys, I used to have 1%-1.5%/hr standby drain over night (with 4g on, wifi off, AOD off Edge panels off greenify and force doze).

I moved on to the superman rom 1.8.1 after being on stock 6.0.1 MM yesterday and it went up to 4%/hr. Bear in mind this was as a new ROM so nothing disabled. I will run a test tonight to see what standby drain is overnight with greenify, amplify, force doze and a number of bloat services disabled ( from the tips to help improve s7 edge battery life thread). I saw someone mention the "gfixservice app" which fixes android OS/UI battery drain...anyone else tried this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
Does anyone else have similar drain? Or is it only me? Got a 2 month used s7 edge and getting such drain on day 2. Shud I return this and get a new one?

I'm on BPK6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Whatsapp is a big battery drain on my phone, because i have it on my whitelist. At the moment with the superman rom with amplify, greenify, forcedoze. With 4g always on and sync with whatsapp/bbm/emailapp/twitter my standby drain is 2%/hr. It used to be 1-1.5%/hr overnight.

But in all honesty i have been sleeping later and so my phone obviously "wakesup" when i start getting messages through all those social media platforms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hp79:
I'm getting 1.5%-4% per hour drain overnight with AOD on. I went through the other thread to disable all the junk. I'm on 935U with stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
ever since updating from the february version my android system has been very high like im talking about over 20 percent at least. Back then on the older version android system would be below 20 and never above it and i have no idea what the hell samsung did since then. any one have any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Soufiansky:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Getting 1.5-2% per hr drain on standby on superman rom. With disabled apps and turning off wifi/gps/bluetooth/nfc.

4g data on for whatsapp/bbm/emails/text and sync on.

I noticed last night when my 4g was off and WiFi on, i lost less overnight. I'll be doing that from now on. Is there a way you can SCHEDULE when to turn on either 4g/wifi for certain times?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Soufiansky:
Very good
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
you cant go back. If we could then i would have done that already.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Lepa79:
My Galaxy Tab S2 tablet on marshmallow is a mirror copy form an app perspective to my S7 Edge phone and it does a much much better job at battery stand by than S7 Edge. Hoping for Android N to get us on the right track. And it should.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Yes you can go back to APC8.

Just flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
You can't. I've tried going to APB7 from APJ and it bricked my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
That's not possible,

Only if your model not match with the firmware.

Or you are doing something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Soufiansky:
It can be true, on my S6 i had the same problem. I can't downgrade after the november security patch,unless i use a custom ROM. Samsung :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
S7 is nothing to do with the s6, even with s6, I could downgrade from Marshmallow to lollipop, with stock.

And now with the 5 files we have in s7, we can do anything.

I flash my phone hundreds of times, and never brick or bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Soufiansky:
Yes you could downgrade to lollipop in first months, but after than you cant because they update the bootloader so you cant downgrade, and the S6 was just an example thats why i said "It can be true"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
But in s7 you can downgrade from Nougat to marshmallow.

Even in beta program they say we can downgrade to marshmallow.

Just flash the 4 files and reset before and after.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I know it has to match. I've had that same file on my computer since may and it won't work anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
It's strange I already see some guys returning to the APC8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tomas142001:
same

also i had about a 10% drain while i was sleeping (whith AOD) but if i take it out of the charger in the morning and i just watch a serie from netflix from 100% to 10% i get about 8-9 screen on time with 8à% brightness but with normal usage like checking social media and watching youtube i get about 5 hours screen on time so i'm happy whith it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Sukhi:
Yes you can. Who says it can't be done? I downgraded to APE7 today from Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I know I can but a user I was talking he said it's not, and brick the phone ???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] PDE5 Inhib:
I used to get really good battery life on my phone. Now, not so much. I'm only getting 1-2 hours screen time. I think that my phone is not going to sleep properly. My battery usage shows this "10037" as being the top user, but I have no idea what the hell that is. Anyone have any way to figure out what's the issue? Or has anyone had this issue that has found a fix? Thanks.

[IMG="battery usage"]http://i.imgur.com/9PwkHcX.png[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Sukhi:
10037 drain has something to do with Google maps. Are you a beta tester for that app? Try turning of the nearby notifications in maps to see if that helps. Last but not the least, try disabling it for a day to see if it is the real culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] PDE5 Inhib:
Not sure if I'm a beta tester. I couldn't figure out how to turn off nearby notifications, but I did just turn off a lot of goofy notifications, like something about friends visiting places (though I've never gotten any notifications from Maps in the first place? lol). Will see if it does anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
yeah that was me. I tried going back to APB7 and it fell into brick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yXQUFrEWg4&t=2s

that is the error it gave me. I was told to download the latest firmware which happens to end in APK3 and flashed it in odin exactly how you would and it fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Great.

But when show that error you don't brick your device.

I never used smart switch, always odin.

If you flash the software for your model, it's very hard to brick your device.

Its much easier to go back with the s7 that with the s6.

Anything feel free to ask. ✌️
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I did use odin. I couldn't even use smart switch because I was missing some number. Luckily I was able to get to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Its wasn't luck, if you press volume down and power button same time, you will force it to boot again, then you have to be fast and enter download mode. [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
trust me i did that. every time it restarted i kept getting that message but when i had my phone plugged into my pc with odin open it recognized my phone so i tried to flash the firmware and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
This things we learn with time.

Next time you already know how to do it .

And if you flash a lot, do always a reset before and after, flash the 4 files you want and will always work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] orlans21:
I know how to do it. I've known for years and I always wipe after.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] benjaminllim:
Great battery life in my opinion

I'm not sure if others think my battery life is good but when on standby with WiFi on, AOD on, location on, overlay screen apps like CM Swipe and Energy Bar on, AutoSync on. My standby time is like 2-3%/hour.

With on and off use, I can use mine for about 23 hours without counting when I'm asleep because I put it on airplane and power saving mode.

Considering I have tons of apps running, I believe this is pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hapibanana:
Does anyone know what probably affected my battery drain (possibly an update)? I still have the same apps that I first installed as when I got my device but my drain is now 4%/hr according to GSAM. Turning off Wifi turns it back to 1%/hr (my normal standby drain with Wifi on before this happened). Probably has something to do with a background app eating Wifi. Tried rooting and debloating most of the unused app still did not fix the problem.

Still waiting for Nougat as that might fix the problem but would try rooting again or installing a custom rom to fix this. I'm really fine with how the device works at stock but just want to get the battery life back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] milindck:
Install win-bash for Windows. It has the grep command that will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Reshikrom:
I lost 11% in 3h of standby time. Gsam shows the WiFi with 84% as the main drainer. Wakelock shows network stats as the main reason. At night my wifi is on but it shuts down after half an hour. This occurred after I updated my device to December patch yesterday. I had only 3% of drain before in one night.

After updating to nougat 7.0 facing high battery drain. I can't find option to Always Save Power for specific apps under battery options (like MM). Now the only option is select the apps and press Save Power. Those app get restarted and appear again and again in the list, leading to battery drain.

I have the latest AT&T Nougat as I got sick and tired of waiting for the 935U Nougat.

My idle drain (in deep sleep) is 1.5%/hour, and about 1.8%/hour with AlwaysOnDisplay. I think this is pretty bad.

For comparison, a crap HTC 626s with Snapdragon 210 and 2000mAh battery does 0.4%/hour idle drain. In the AccuBattery app, HTC 626s is using 5.2 mA while S7 Edge is using 62 mA (for 1.7%/hour). That's like 10 times more power usage for the Samsung S7 Edge when in deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
I hardly believe you had 10h SOT, maybe only if you watched 90% videos and on airplane mode, but anyway, try to factory reset your phone, it may help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
In wifi is possible 10h and no need 90 videos and airplane mode.

Just normal usage and low brightness inside home.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tomsi91:
For me the battery drain was made by google chrome. It was not visible in battery analyzing apps, all what i have seen was high battery drain by system. I uninstalled updates and deactivated chrome by disabler pro and drain during night is from 12% to 4% (s7 edge, android 6)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mortuus82:
i get like 1% battery drain / hour with display screen on.. seems ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Pet1981:
With screen on?! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] themadproducer:
He probably meant 'with Always On Display".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
I get very acceptable standby drain during the night @ 0.8/hr. Using greenify, amplify, force doze and power nap. Also enable normal power saving mode before i sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Why are you using all that 4 apps?

If you close everything, you don't receive notifications, what are the point you leave wifi or data on if you are sleeping.

Im with stock wifi on during the night drain less than that.

And if you you less drain, my Huawei mate 9, with wifi off, during 8h drain 0%.

That 4 apps you have are consuming battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Do you think? Before using all those apps i was losing 3/4 per hour. I keep data on so i can receive message/eotk related emails early morning time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
With data drain is worse that's true, but if you let in deep sleep don't drain 4% hour.

2 max.

Maybe you need optimise more in the settings
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
That's the thing. I get much better standby drain with data on. I did turn off power nap and force doze and lost 5% in 7 hours (with data on). So i might uninstall those apps. Like you said they are using battery also to work! I do need to keep data on though just so i can get emails coming through.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You let sync on, and everything else on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Yeah bro. My only reason to sync is to get push email. Otherwise no need for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
With blue mail, in 4G it's hard to receive emails, but when wifi is on you receive every mail on time with sync off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Duzzy5:
Not using like dumb phone, all sync on, wifi on, aod on, night drain (over 7-10h) is 15-20%........... after nougat update i suppose. gsam points into android system nr1 and kernel nr2
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mortuus82:
impossible it doesnt drain not even 1% maybe if u turn the phone off duuh... but not in sleep/idle mode no way..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jboodram:
Actually it is possible with the S7 edge. Overnight with the AOD on I drain at Max 3% in 8 hrs. I will post proof soon. I had the regular S7 before and it would usually drain a bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Wifi definitely drains more in standby than 4g, so I don't know if it's worth getting bluemail app if it's not good with 4g.

I did get it to try it out and no luck. I didn't receive push emails from it. I don't mind a 1/hr loss overnight. Plus I'm at work with no WiFi so need 4g on.

What's your settings please? Extensive answer if you can. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jboodram:
I'm stock. Not even rooted. My location services is turned off and so is mobile data that's it. The 3% standby drain over 8 hrs is on wifi. I didn't alter much settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
At least all the feedback I had read 4G in standby drain a lot not wifi, could be your settings.

Im a samsung user for a long time, but I can assure you after use Huawei mate 9 for 2 weeks, I'm gonna change my s7edge. Lot of things work much better.

When put on airplane mode, it will drain 1% overnight. Flawless. However, during the day it will drain about 1% per hour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] razorseal:
I'm not having much luck.... Today's phones should have this mysterious battery drain thing fixed. I unplugged thhone from charger at 12:04 with 100%. It's been an hour and I'm now at 95%. I specifically didn't touch the phone to have doze activate.

5% an hour seems awfully alot. Curious what the culprit is. The phone has gone to doze in the past so I'm not sure what the issue is. Phone appears to be in doze because I sent an email to my work and Gmail and didn't get a notification on phone...

You'd think NFC and aod wouldn't make much or a difference
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] leoking3:
I also confirm that AOD turned off makes a huge difference, at least on my device. I wonder how Nokia could implement theirs without having drains and sh.t. :)

My battery life is not that impressive either so far...

Ranges from 2 1/2 to 4 hours SoT depending on what I am doing.

I lose anywhere between 5% to 13 % overnight.

Using Gear VR, my phone heats up within 30 minutes and a message pops up asking me to let it cool down before I continue using it.

A bit disappointed but I am going to conduct more tests and try different settings to understand the issue better.

I was expecting much better battery life than this considering the praise the battery has been getting in reviews and the generous 3600 mAh battery included.
