Hi guys, i have flat exynos version, yesterday i've recived an update

this is the version:

PDA	G930FXXU1APD1

CSC	G930FOJK1APD1

And I think that it made my battery worse..

i'm now making my phone to "kill" my battery to the end (running 4k video through data on youtube with GPS and lots of stuff on)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
I received the update some days before and I also think this update is bad for battery. After update my battery is about 25% after 3h sot. Before that the battery was on 50% after 3 hours on screen.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
i'm now on 4% of battery.. wating my phone to die.. after that i'll charget it to 100% and will start testing

ok, my phone finaly dead..

starting to charge it now (while it's turned off completely)

i'll update in a few days

if any one else feeling the same please update

I just turnd on my phone, it was 100% i got a phone call talked few seconds and it dropted to 99% battary was used 3 F***ing minuts !

and it started to be like that only after the update.

i'm using only WIFI and recharging battery to 100% again to begin the test, i think the update kiled my battery life :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kidpaddle45:
Had my phone for 3 days. Battery life has been amazing. First day I got 15 hours on battery (5 hours of screen on time).

Yesterday I had the new update and I also installed Good Lock app (its a samsung app that adds a lockscreen and changes your system UI) it affected my battery and I got 4hours of screen on time. I uninstalled it today and Im hoping Good Lock was the cause and not the new update :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
at the moment my phone is idle and it's "eating" 2% per hout :(

it's connected to the home WIFI and no Location services are on,

i'm sure that it's coz of that update, will continue to check and i'll update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
Now I have 2h and 30mins on screen and 48% battery remaining. It looks like Android System consumed a lot of battery today. I don't understand why. I didn't installed any app in last days or something, I used the phone like all time, 4g when out of house, Wi-Fi at home, GPS always activated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] vhc:
Snap chat is the biggest drainer for me. Even when just using it to chat. Is that the same for you?

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

You got the Sd820 one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Someone that have the new firmware has the same battery draining as the old firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
I have the Exynos version. With old firmware I usually had more than 5 hours on screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
i have a huge battery drain after the update to the new firmware, i think i'll go to the Samsung store so they will downdrade it to the old one, i'm actually starting to hate my phone right now :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
You could downgrade with Odin without trip your Knox.... You can find old firmware in sammobile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
i don't want to lose my warranty and i'm not good at doing those things so..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kidpaddle45:
Yepp same here. Snapchat on android needs a lot of optimisation. Im going to test again today and come back with some results on battery life. I have a feeling its the new update tho...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
You will not lose your warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
can you explain please how can it be?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Go on sammobile then search for your s7 model. You will find all the firmware done by Samsung and download the firmware you like. Then download in the Web a program called Odin 3.10.x..... Open Odin and plug in your phone to a pc. If a remember in 'AP' section of Odin you keep the downloaded firmware and press start....

In any case you can find on the Web many instructions about this work...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
i meant about the warrenty how can it be that such thing wont disable it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Because you will keep the original Samsung firmware and you will not trip your Knox.... You can go to Samsung service anyway ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kidpaddle45:
So after another day with the phone. I can confirm that the extra battery drain was from the Good lock app. I actually had a really good 5h screen on time day!!!

Of course snapchat eats a loooot of battery and the devs need to work on optimising that but beside that... i still have 38% of battery after a whole day (gonna charge it now - its almost 2 am)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
Instead doing rollback i've wiped my phone for testing and until now it looks fine..

At standby mode without any data at all it took 2% after 7 hours, now i'm testing in standby but with WIFI.. didnt installed any of my usual apps but disabled all the bloatware...

Although i did noticed that in the second i'm using my wifi and surfing the internet or even searching things on google play store the percentage is dropping faster (obviously) but i don't know how much faster..

I will continue updating
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] hagenauwa:
So from what i am understanding BEFORE marshmallow s7 flat exynos sot was on 6 hours of average...AFTER marshmallow is crap, right? Is sticking to LP adviced?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rzzv93:
The s7 has marshmallow from 1st day.

And about battery, yesterday and today I saw it was back to normal. Yesterday after 5 hours of SoT my battery was 20% and today after 3 hours of SoT I have 65% remaining battery. So things goes back to normal, but I don't understand why some days ago I experienced only 3 hours of SoT. I used the phone like all time, 4g, Wi-Fi, location, sync 4 mail accounts, etc..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
Hi guys, i'm glad to tell you that my battery life is ok :) the wipe resolved the problem :)

i didnt use my phone to much and got 5:30 SOT :)

(bringing back my phone to my favorite customization took all the battery loool)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Did you solve wiping all data apk too?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
don't understand the question buddy..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
You said have resolved your battery problems doing a wipe. I'd like to ask you if you wiped also applications data or you only wiped the system. Thank you a lot?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] shaktilukhi:
I've Exynos Edge variant.

For first 2-3 days i got 6hrs of SOT + all day of stand-by.

But for last few days i am getting hardly 2-3 hrs of SOT.

All the battery is eaten by 'Android System' and 'Android OS' around 700mAh for each.

Dida data & cache wipe and then factory reset too...

My phone stays warm all day long unless I'm on power-saving mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rogerchew:
sounds like you have a wakelock issue and a rogue app is wreaking some havoc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
i did a full system wipe from the recovery my friend :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Danuna11:
How?

12 hours device on 2 and half sot on galaxy s7 how is everyone's more than double I wish I could get 5 hours sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gleggie:
Does doing a system wipe from recovery keep the ROM intact? I did a factory reset from within the phone settings, but the improvement seemed to be somewhat slight. Also how can we restore apps and data? Nothing I try is comparable to Titanium Backup. I always lose apps or app data
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Exynos version...

With the last update, PD1, the phone has problems to go in deepsleep...wakelock about Sistem Android is the cause. I am at the moment away in Spain, I'm Italian. I don't know if the problem could be the roaming...

In any case... wiping by recovery the rom will be intact but if you are not rooted the only way to have your backup of data apk is with helium...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
The ROM stays the same, dont worry about that.

at the moment that you will logon with your Google account, the phone will download and install all your apps back (what kind of data are you talking about? sms, contacts? or apps, games data?), but you need to keep in mind that all the customizations (wallpaper, icons places on the grid etc) wont be back as they were before.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] olafsand:
I had too short sot (2-3 hours) but yesterday i charged my phone with normal charge speed and today SOT is back very good :)

used 49% in 1d0h (2,0%/h)

Screen 43% 03:08:48
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] youjizzz88:
i have s7 edge exynos 16hrs 40 mins estimated time is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] gleggie:
Does Google restore app data? That's what I was concerned about. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] youjizzz88:
whats the difference of disabling a bloatware and deleting the bloatware using package disabler?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
Hello.

I bought mine last week on Friday. With 12h out of the charger with +4h of screen on time my battery is already out (3% left).

Will my Galaxy may be defective?

It's Exynos S7 (non-edge).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
it depends, what kind of app data do you mean? can you give an example? do you mean savings of games? if do, there are games that have their own servers for syncing and then it restores the app data, for example i love to play Smash Hit and i bought the game, after the Wipe, i had to start all the levels all over again but it saved my score

Happy to help you my friend :)

I don't like to use non-native options for disabling OS features.. i'm using the built-in disabling option.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

did you received any update in the last few days?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
No, I didn't.

Thanks for the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
Actually there are lots of things to do to save battery life on this phone..

so..

1) Settings -> battery-> at the "App Power Saving" -> Detail - choose "Save power" on whatever you don't need to use daily

2)Settings -> More connection settings -> Nearby device scanning -> set off

3) settings -> Data Usage -> Background Data -> set everything that don't need to use Data at the background to "off"

4) Disable mobile carriers bloatware

5) Disable the Facebook app -> use Facebook through a browser.

that's all i think.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
Actually some settings I really didn't know about. I already setted all.

But I have a question: all the people here with results like 1 day away from the charger and more than 6 hours of sot, they have to set all of this settings to get this results or is my phone that is eating up the battery?

Thanks again buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
If you are a heavy user\surfe\gamer you have to setup the phone for your use, witch means, save as much power as you can while using it as much as you want :) and for that, you have to set up bunch of configurations.

Besides, you need to give your phone some time to make the battery stable, maybe this is your case.

There is more things that you can do, but they are for those who are feeling that they have a battery issues

you wellcome my friend :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
I didn't even installed any games because I don't know if my phone's behaving properly.

Even my "fast" charging is slowest than I read on Internet. My fast charging take 30 min to charge about of 33% of battery, not 50% like I read in some reviews and articles.

And when I can realize if I truly have battery issues? :confused:

Like now, I'm with 55% percent of battery and I unplugged from the charge just 4h ago. Take a look (attachment) on my apps that used the battery until now. :eek:

EDIT: Sorry, i forgot the attachment.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
For the fast charging option please check if your "fast charging option is On"

go to "Settings" -> Battery -> all the way down, check if "Fast Charging is on"

I think that the best think to do is to configure the phone as i writed above and then you will know better.

I don't want to misguide you my friend, lets wait for some more answers ok?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
Yes, it is on. With this option in off take a year to charge. :(

Ok then. Let's wait some more answers.

Thanks a lot man.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
First of all no problem my friend :) i have lot's of problems to and people are helping to, so i do the same :) with pleasure.

second, the next time your phone needs to be recharged, try to do it when it off and see if the charging is faster..

the third and last thing that might solve the problem, connect the charger directly to the wall.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
Thanks a lot for you time man.

Ok, I will do it when it off.

Yeeees, I thought to do it, but I forgot to question here to know if this thought make some sense, maybe the problem is with my power strip. Excelent idea, I will try it.

Thanks again my friend. :good::)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] WebsGhost:
no problem buddy :)

let me know if it's ok
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] youjizzz88:
im using s7 edge exynos,and i got 18hrs of battery and 5hrs of SOT wifi ON AOD ON minimum brightness ,if my battery some what defect?since other people have about 6-7 hrs of SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Tw1tchy:
I have a S7 Exynos and I get about 6 SOT but only after a few days of using it. I did debloat my S7 heavily so that could be it. I also use power save mode when I'm at work but most of my screen on time is without any power save settings. I just think it takes android devices a couple days to fully optimize to your schedule.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Inwharitza:
Depends on your usage. It also might be the Aod draining a little bit.

Snapdragon Version

i can get 1d battery time and 5 hours Screen on time. that is AWESOME!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Exynos88:
my s7 edge went from 15 hrs esimated battery usage to 21hrs what happend?im using the exynos version and tips on making it longer?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jntdroid:
8:45 hours total, 2 hours SOT, 31% left... (AT&T S7) :confused:

My top five on the battery page are Android System (23%), Screen (17%), and Google Play Services (13%), Android OS (11%), Cell Standby (9%).

Isn't there a way to see what apps have the highest battery usage now? Short of going into each one in the app manager?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] AldrichDSaints:
7h 8m

My maximum screen on time is 7h+ using my S7. I always last a day without charging and my screen on time is always 6h+ with alternate usage of data when outside and wifi at home and I also play NBA 2k16 before going to sleep. Good daily driver.

Edge or Flat ?

My 2nd Day with S7 and done 2nd recharge and my SOT is 5:10 Hours when I got %5 battery left, without gaming & You tube etc. , 70% time used on 4G and 30% on wifi mostly used browser, all internet apps, Newsreader, Flipboard, Gmail, Calls and wahtsapp, how do you rate my battery life ? and BTW my phone runs at room temperature

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

But from my experience so far people who just got the S7 don't rush to report poor battery stats, because when you got your phone 1st time it's obvious that it need heavy install, sync, restart, download, transfer and constant use due to hypercuriocity, 1st day nobody want to put down this sexy baby, Report battery stat only after 3 days and 3 full overnight recharge, and install/transfer, configre and start all apps and than post battery stat, give some time to your apps and bettery to settle down, and don't forget "Patience is a virtue"

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

I am kinda bit happy and sad as my SOT with 2nd recharge is just above 5 Hours but other posted more than 6 hours of SOT, Enynos version

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

If you don't use much then how 5:30 SOT come from ? -) you just look at sexy S7 all the times , Lol

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Flat or Edge? Exynos or Snapdragon, after how many recharge you get this SOT?

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Thanks for tips but I will wait for few more recharge and then try package disabler
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] chungdae:
I have the flat. I actually stopped using the package disabled pro to do some testing and actually had no affect on my battery life. However, I do have aggressive doze still enabled. I may try the DUMP method on aggressive doze but haven't decided yet. I went through 10 cycles of recharging before I posted the battery stats
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] hagenauwa:
Hi guys how do you rate the battery on Lollippp compare to marshmallow, is Lollipop al little bit better?

5hrs SOT is not problem on S7 flat with Exynos ;)

I achieved over 6hrs SOT in past and 7-8hrs isn't unreal ;)

I'm on rooted stock ROM ;) no greenify, amplify...

So S7 is great in this discipline :):):) because my previous device LG G4 achieved around 5hrs SOT with huge battery improvement(greenify, amplify, appops...)

Does charging the phone via Samsung official wireless stand causes it to have less capacity on the battery compared to USB cable? I can't seem to get past 4 hours of SoT after 15 hours of standby.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] albert87:
For this sole reason my night was ruined yesterday, on an other thread I saw people post stats like 1Day7hours with 7 hours SOT while I can get 15 hours with 6 SOT at most on my s7 edge exynos.

I was thinking that they sold me a broken phone, was about to go and ask for a replacement.

Thanks for making me feel relieved :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Hoffmanns:
Another battery stats ;)

It's real, no some fake with screen off duration or lowest brightness.... It's true life with S7 ;)

Settings:

Auto brightness little bit lowered

Location set on battery saving

Synchronization completely off

A lot of apps always in Samsung battery power saving

A lot of apps freeze (debloated)

Nova launcher as default launcher

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rafael_r55:
Hello again.

I have tested in the every possible way (differents plugs, different power strips) last week and i'm still not able to get greater results than a little bit more than 4h of SOT with 14h on battery (this result with battery saver mode 2 times in the day to use Waze driving from and to my home), despite the several results that is in this thread with like 1 day on battery and 5h of SOT or 15h on battery and 7h of SOT.

Snapdragon?

With how much time on battery? Flat version?

Snapdragon or Exynos? How 10h of SOT is possible? Please tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] AldrichDSaints:

I'm also impressed. Wlan, NFC, Sync, GPS, auto brightness, 4G all on the whole day. Then 5 hours of music listening via bluetooth headphones, a lot of Facebook, Whatsapps, some youtube videos, 1 hoour phone calls on VolLTE and I reached a SOT of more than 4 1/2 hours. Can't imagune what it will be when I don't have bluetooth on.

I use a dark theme.

Use wifi at home, 2G outside and when I need to use the internet outside I switch to 4G and when I'm done back to 2G.

Flat S7, Exynos unlocked variant. Location off, NFC off, network mode set to 2G/3G Auto and most of the time on WiFi. Usage consisted of ALOT of WhatsApp, some Facebook browsing and Facebook messenger chatting, around 30 minutes of voice calls, some 9GAG and browsing with Chrome.
