I have the Exynos version..and getting great battery life and standby now that Ive cut off the "google voice search from any screen". Plus cutting off AOD..that was killing my battery life when i first got the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] johanbiff:
Exynos, Live in Sweden.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ionutdicu:
that's impossible; with AOD on should lose at least 1% per hour (granted, also declared by Samsung) not 1% in 8 hour

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

mine in losing about 1.5% per hour during night; newtork set on 2G, Google disabled completely, wifi on permanently, gps off, AOD switches to night clock during night (the only way to stop AOD and hope night clock consumes less than AOD)....

I think that AOD should have a timer

and overall not impressed by the battery, s6 edge+ previously owned did a little better with smaller battery....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tecnico_25:
Hi Guys,

could someone help me in order to disable these feature?

google voice search

AOD

I'm getting battery drain....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] DMV2Hki75:
AOD= settings, display, Always On Display, ..switch it off

Google Voice= go into the google app, touch the hamburger icon (3 bars at the top), select "settings", select "voice", select "OK Google" detection, turn off "from any screen"..and /or "from google app".

...hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] fethi2:
I agree all the things draining battery. Switching auto wi-fi off helped me to stop battery drain. You can turn off in wi-fi settings and in bluetooth settings you can turn off auto (or continious scanning) even wi-fi or bluetooth is off. This 2 thing helped me to stop drain. I'm on exynos rooted stock xposed installed AOD off Google Voice off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] belloni:
So I'm averaging a total 2-3% battery drain over 8 hours sleep, couldn't be happier. Sleeps like a baby!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ookubanjo:
20-25% drain overnight. Phone refuses to sleep. It's near enough stock. Not the first time this has happened on a Samsung device. Every reporting / diagnostic crapware disabled and nothing installed. I hate android, it's absolute junk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Mischka20:
I use RENOVATE EDGE beta 3 and have battery drains too. Its becaus of the ssp_wake_lock and the ssp_sensorhub_wake_lock. I tried to figure out any solution to get rid oft that but cant help myself.

I´ve had a great battery-life with the 1st beta. Maybe Samsung changed its Kernel and adjusted those 2 wakelocks negativly.

Any ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Sebastiansm:
Look
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Lol it is a cool feature, but I'm told it takes a lot of battery over night. I'm sure you can disable some things to improve bettery without root. If you get the app "package disabler" you can pick and choose which Samsung bloat apps to disable.

S7 battery drain

I have an exynos galaxy S7 and I've updated to android 7 but it seems that screen-off (Standby) drains battery a lot

i was so disappointed when i do nothing and i lose my battery. I slept and when i woke up i realize that i've lost battery about 30 percent during 6 hour.

Actually it is more frustrating when I put in Ultra power saving and see this result again!

I would be grateful if in any one could help me ... It's getting on my nervous
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Sneakdovi:
I have everhthing disabled, I turn airplane mode in and leave my phone in standby. But I still lose 4% battery. It can't be normal.. i have Android Nougat and no root
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ddelamareuk:
Yeah i am the same, i have literally everything disabled and the screen off for 2-3 hours. I look at my phone and its dropped from 100% to 87%. My device will not sleep since the Nougat Upgrade. This is the last smartphone i buy from Samsung. They are simply crippling the android OS and phones with all of the additional crap that should be optional. I wast going to root this phone, but i am now so i get a normal days usage without the phone being completely gimped.

Im going to look for a minimal rom and use that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] XDevOS:
Odd thing is after I debloated I got worse battery life. There is no need to debloat. Android cannot optimize their software and hardware like apple does. Try not debloating
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] canadoc01:
I had same issue but then I disable Samsung gear VR and turned off location history. Now battery life got much better. Not sure which did it but think it was location history.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ShadowFlare:
To those who have standby drain problems, have you at least tried wiping your phone after Nougat upgrade and NOT install all your apps back again during the restore steps? It's a painful process to manually install your apps one by one but this helps finding out which app you recently installed that starts causing battery drain.

Fisrt thing I did when upgrading to Nougat was exactly like above and results are pretty okay for me, as shown on screenshot. No, I don't stare at my screen 10 hours a day, I have better things to do.

While I sleep, phone drains 4% in 8 hours. On WiFi, stock ROM, general bloatware disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] efkka23:
Per 8h/night 2% drain. Nougat. Bloatware disable
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nicholaswaikit:
I don't understand why my phone randomly heats up in my pocket even with or without WiFi (and mobile data) . It's so annoying and the battery drain is completely unexplainable. There are tons of ongoing background activity stated in the android system. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
Have u try factory reset?and clear cache partition. Or u can download an app call accubattery and let it check which app is draining.by the way that app can also check ur battery real capacity left.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Pedunie:
I have that issues too. I feel that the last 10% charging, the %battery makes strange things. It takes only minutes to take the 100%, but after that I start again to charge the phone, and it takes about 15 minutes more charging in 100%.

I think that this problem, + the battery drain, only gives me about 4 hours of sreen on, and no more than 24 use hours.

I have tried to reset the battery stats with the *#0228# code, but I feel no any change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
did u fix this?or is the problem still persist?if u fixed this how did u do it? thank you . May i ask that will weak 4g signal of one bar very battery draining? i put it in standby mode and it drain like 5% per hour, AOD on and 4g on, usually one bar only 4g signal. thank you. and i have a few social app that run in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] arakito:
Hi guys, I have a big problem with my s7 edge. I have a constant battery drain, no wakelocks, I have checked. The only thing that could cause this could be that my phone is always in roaming. I live abroad but I still use my Vodafone card from my original country because I have a great deal with them. I must say that I always have excellent signal and I have WiFi and Bluetooth scanning off. I really don't know what to do about this. The phone is always connected to Vodafone Greece network, so it's the same carrier and everything. Any idea? Please help!

I usually get 3 to 4% drain overnight. But I turn everything off, WiFi, Bluetooth, close all the apps, I just leave cellular on. This is on Renovate Edge Rom Nougat 7.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Pedunie:
No I haven't fixed, and I have flashed several times, wipes....I continue with the same battery problem, and I have tried a lot of things and the batter drain still persist.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
I have 4g with one bar, and my standby drain is 4-5% per hour, is this normal with this weak signal?i have aod on. Thank you. I think u should ask your carrier, i have an exynos version.Sorry couldnt help much as my phone also quickens its charging for the last 10%, if i leave it to charge till full then it will behave better then when i use it for the last 10%, its like the drain will be faster when it reached lower % like 30% if u use it while it is charging for the last 10% then when u are not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
4G with bad signal that's the worst, drain like hell, that's normal.

AOD samsung says that usually drain 0.5% per hour, so bad signal and AOD, and if you have GPS and sync on, battery flies away.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
No wonder,thank you very much,my area has weak 3g and 4g both,so that must be the reason my standby drain is a lot,like about 5% per hour and i try it with airplane mode on it drain only abt 1% per hour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
This is so impossible even you have amplify, greenify or whatever battery saving app you have.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Yes In s7edge this is impossible.

The only phone that make this is the mate 9,with connections off only
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
i don't have a mate 9 i cannot test it myself, but nice hear that mate has a good battery back up. but he using s7 edge that's why i'm shocked when i read his/her post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] waterdaan:
S7 Edge, no root, wifi on, mobile data off, sync on, GPS off.

No facebook.

WhatsApp is installed.

Add blocker is on.

This doesn't seem to happen when battery percentage is in the nineties, so I think it must have something to do with how the battery capacity is calculated (from battery voltage).

partial wakelocks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
But you are rooted or stock.?

I already did 2 times reset and without sim card, no apps nothing on, like you take out of the box.

And still drain at least 2% in 7h 8h,

With all the phone restored, and wifi on, during the night 4% 8h, sync off and GPS off.

I don't need it.

Still receive emails notifications YouTube Facebook.

Is not bad, but 0% only rooted, or Huawei mate 9.

I've edited my post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Theking haha:
Hello guys,do u think this standby drain combine with SOT is good?AOD on,4g and 3g signal most of the time only one bar,sometimes two bars and no bars at all.i don play games but use whatsapp QQ wechat and sometimes surfing the internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
I was just shocked after i upgraded to nougat i flash stock firmware via odin after that factory reset and wipe cache via stock recovery.

- After boot reset app references

- Set wifi to keep on during sleep to never

- Disable Nfc, Location, Nearby scanning

- i update google play services, google chrome, youtube, gmail and installed shareit, google play music, Fb messenger and Merriam webster and 3 games Nba 2k17, Marvel future fight and, Asphalt 8.

I used package disabler pro to disabled these apps check uploaded pictures.

After 8hrs of sleep with AOD on my battery decrease only 2% from 44% to 42% i love doze on nougat. Just put to sleep some app after use it by holding the icon then release.

NOTE: I did not turn on power saving mode and my phone is not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Pedunie:
Nice information. Let's try something similar.

One off topic question, do you play NBA 2K17 for Android with no lag on the game? I tried it, but the My Player mode was always so lagged, as I can't play it normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
i was able to play NBA 2k17 at 26-30fps just install Game tuner then set it the HW+ to 4 i can play on high setting except crowd set to medium and baseline to medium.

If your device is exynos variant just root it and disable dvfs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheRock12341:
Did you just do this? Your using fast charge or smth else Edge Screen? I did the same as you guided there and test it now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
I'm not using fast charging but i'm using edge screen, you can do that if you don't have much application installed and freshly firmware. i'm not sure but there's something wrong with my post i think i post some screenshots that i disabled through samsung package disabler pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheRock12341:
Ye already saw that, thanks for these though helped alot! What is your Screen on Time normally from 100% to 0? Do you have any more tips for lower standby consumption?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
I haven't tried yet to drain my battery from 100% to 0% because this is not good i'm doing that once a month.

Just disable or off some setting that you don't really need like location, nfc, wifi always on during sleep, and for i delete google app because it cause drain issue for me. Also i did not install facebook app just meseenger unless you have a xposed and use amplify to control wakeclock of facebook app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheRock12341:
Do you have the Exynos Variant? I think I lose 10% over night or 5 %, still much but did the same as you did. You got a new phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
i got Snapdragon variant, my phone is not new my sister just gave this to me and she used fast charging every time. so it means my phone battery's phone is not good as new.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TheRock12341:
Ye Snapdragon is better in battery stats thats why you lose 2% only.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gAracUh:
i think that's not true exynos has a better battery back up than Snapdragon. now my phone s7 edge battery back up is not good like before maybe because of some apps i installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] OnehandShackWOW:
less than 5% , 6-8 hr sleep :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] arakito:
Is this normal, guys? I have no ****ing clue of what's happening in my phone. I already tried to disable stuff, with no apps and similar stuff but I still get this outcome:

The only thing that comes to my mind is that I am always in roaming. Could this be a cause for wakelock? I have always good signal, so I don't ink what else can I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] howie411:
Ok, I know there is like a bazillion post on this but my battery is definitely dying to quick. Phone has been off the battery for 2 hrs and 36 minutes. I haven't touched it at all and its down 10%. Android System 1%, Device Idle 1%, Android OS 1% and Cell standby 1%.. Estimated time left 11 hrs.

On Sprint Network

Software version: G935PVPS4BQE1

HW Version: 0.7

Android 7.0

Security Patch Level - May 1, 2017

Kernel Version: 3.18.31-11103114

Phone was reset after the last update too.

When I first got this phone it would last almost 2 days. Not sure what is going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gazza35:
Well i came from an Iphone 6s back to Android with an S7 Edge with EE software installed. Used it for a few days and the battery life was shocking, didnt really know where to start except with the obvious power consuming features.

But i decided to reflash it with Stock BTU firmware getting rid of the EE firmware and i have to say, my battery life improved dramatically, wether this is because there was something running in the EE firmware that was draining the battery or not, i dont know, but result, with wifi left on permament and mobile data on, im now on day 2 after a full charge and im still on 79% after just using texts, couple of phone calles, and 20 mins of connecting to my Nikon DSLR via wifi to transfer photos to my phone, Result, quite happy with that, looking at the way it is now and how my phone is used, i should get 3 or 4 days on a full charge, so very happy, i do suspect it was something within the EE firmware.

1-2% on my 6-8 hours of sleep. Supeman ROM with Superstock kernel. Debloated. Have android wear working in the background. Always on display off. Greenify (but not android wear app).

I disable some GCM and GMS services from apps on lucky patcher but not sure this will this make a difference on battery (I feel like it would in theory?) Really wanna go micro G but I dont think there is any support for android wear on micro G (somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

Hi all awesome android lovers,

I'm facing serious problems with my AT&T Stock S7E regarding battery life. I usually don't post here but my phone is really becoming weird day by day.

I've disabled all bloatware and used PDP to disable some. I regularly check Instagram, Whatsapp, Alto Mail and Google. PFA screenshot of my phones battery usage.

I like Samsung Pay, use it occasionally and that is the only reason which is holding me back to root the goddammn phone.

Any thoughts/ suggestions/help is greatly appreciated. If not root is the only way I beleive.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] xenonpro88:
How is that possible wow?!

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

My maximum SOT is about 5.5hours, what did you disable? What are your settings? How old is your device? Please enlighten me!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rizwan312:
it's unrooted SM-G935FD variant, stock andriod nougat, no extra ROM. I de-bloated my phone, disabled all sync services and sensors, use single sim on 2G mode only, do not use mobile data but i'm always on wifi (with wifi sleep activated), AOD on during office hours, brightness set to no more than 25%, FHD display, Device Security (in device maintenance) is disabled. I do not play games on mobile at all. I guess that did it. Oh, this is my first ever samsung- bought it used from a shop, i sense it's been used for less than a year.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] xenonpro88:
Man we're in a similar boat, it is also my first ever Samsung and I bought it refurbished, checked the battery capacity in /root and it had approx 77% left.

I'm also on stock, single sim but 3G, don't use mobile data as well. Disabled auto sync, disabled google/samsung cloud backup services, GPS on battery saving, WiFi always on. FHD, brightness 30% Day || 0% Night AOD enabled depending on situation, never touched device security. I don't play games as well. Man your device is awesome! :good:

Two questions though:

1. How did you debloat your phone? My Package Disabler Pro stopped working on 25/8 due to the latest update, and it's not just me, all the recent reviews were in regards to the recent update that broke the app.

2. Does your WiFi disconnect itself upon screen-off? Mine does that regardless of settings. "Keep WiFi on during sleep" doesn't work for me :(.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rizwan312:
1. yes i used PDP pre-cr@cked version along with the additional engine (or something similar) which is asked to download from playstore to use PDP. I installed and uninstalled it a few times, everytime de-bloating all that i don't want. After all is done, i uninstalled PDP and the engine app. And now, even during check for update on play store, those deleted bloatwares are not shown. Initially, after de-bloating, i would see them ready for download again from play store. what was the point of de-bloating then right? So, after installing-uninstalling PDP, de-bloating disabling plus uninstalling those unwanted apps... finally it's almost 99% clean. I say, you spend about an hour on this and give it a go and see.

2. yes, my wifi auto disconnects after a min. of turning of the screen.

One more thing, i charge using the original 3-pin samsung fast charger and a Remax brand usb cable (i didn't get the cable in the box). I let the battery go down to 1% and then i charge the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] THEHACKER609:
Best is to use sac23 rom on this phone with moro kernel 1.9 and you can get 2-3 days easily
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] eoraptor:
I live in a cell dead spot, so with the wifi calling and AOD, I'm losing 15% or more overnight during supposed down time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] THEHACKER609:
Well standby drain is not much. Survives 2 days on standby for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Eggleston11:
Be careful when using definite words like "best", especially when little evidence is given. "Best" is determined objectively. I'm not saying I doubt you, I'm saying I (and likely the community) want some sort of proof. A standby drain rate would be good. e.g. 3-4% over 7-8 hours sleep, screenshot of battery drain etc. Also settings would be helpful.

Personally I'd be surprised a port would beat a plain S7 ROM. Look forward to seeing your figures and setup - surprise me! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:

My phone drop at least 25% during night time.

But when i turn on airplane mode during night time, it will remain the same % :confused:

Anyone know what happening to my phone? Have to turn on airplane mode every night....

Sync on, wifi on, location on, AOD off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Try to turn off sync and location.

You don't need sync on all day.

Only to backup something.

And optimise the apps you don't need notifications.
