Went to apc8 too.much better battery overall.latest bpif was the worst battery firmware on this phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Its the best until now.

Well until now are everything ok .

My counts of 100mAh per 10% are lower than ever.

I had all the times and firmwares i try almost same apps and settings.

What i have now is ACP8 with APF2 XSA CSC this way never gets updates.

What i change, just put to optimaze in auto messenger and what'sup , and always optimise my email app, and remove Facebook and use just the browser.

Hope that it helps.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dazed1:
Can anyone help please? are this results normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
There is 5 files when you download the firmware , you have to flash 4 files , and if you flash HOME CSC you will keep your data , and if you flash only CSC file will reset your device.

But if you dont want to have problems its better reset before and after , and use only CSC file.

But its better to use other CSC to you don't get the updates.

I already told you i can see your links .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
So just as i got this right, if i flash th AP ,BL, CP and HOME_CSC i won't get a reset?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Correct, with a higher chance of errors
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
Okay, thanx for the reply and the heads up.

I'm going to give att couple of more days, just yesterday changed from NEE to DBT so i guess i need more cycles to let the phone settle.

Can or cant?

Can others see my links-pictures?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Sorry my mistake.

I can't see nothing at xda app maybe in computer is possible.

Why can't you just send a simple screenshot.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dazed1:
Bro i have sent screenshots already 5 of them in fact the link you talk about is screen shot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
And why i can't see here in the app or just click it.

I think you can see easily the screenshots i post when open the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mflow:
I could.

===

reverted my s7 (flat, not edge) back to March update (APC8) from the latest Sept update (BPIB). No more System battery drain, SOT could easily reach 5hrs (i used GPS and Maps a lot today, full brightness for almost 3hrs, got 40% left)

there is indeed something wrong with the latest firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
Of i should revert back in firmware, how far back should i go to not have the high drain?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Hoping the 7.0 update fixes it :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Everybody should run to March (APC8) lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
Flashed APC8 earlier this evening and charged full.

So far all is awsome!

Thanks for the support guys, especially cavags5:)

One question though, before i had an option in settings named"Google", anyone know where/if i can find it on APC8?

Skickat från min SM-G935F via Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Google app in the app drawer

It's not the same..... But thanks for the reply:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Did you flash a different CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
I flashed the dbt CSC

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Actually, i forgot that when i used odin the flash froze and did nothing for 10 minutes so i used an older Odin version that only allowed me to use th AP file, so maybe thats what made the results look like this on my 5 h idle

Is odin suppose to take extremley long when using odin v3 10.7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
That Odin is old.

Search for 3.12
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
Manage to make flash using Odin 10.7 using the correct CSC.

When checking my firmware i get this

Shouldn't "original CSC" read DBT?

Skickat från min SM-G935F via Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
You flash all 4files from ACP8 DBT right.?

What i mean was, if you flash the 4 files from ACP8 you will get the updates again. For you don't get the updates you flash 3 files from ACP8 and flash ex.; the CSC from APF2 DBT then you always will stay on ACP8.

?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:
I actually want the possibility to do the OTA:)

Still getting drain though, I'll see if it settles down in a day or two.

When you can try XSA CSC.

You much disable everything you don't need or use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dazed1:
I never saw thread/forum so big, which require to beg in order to get an answer, real shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
I already see your screenshots in the browser, i check that your fw is not the best , what do you need to know , i will try to help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dazed1:
Hey bro, thanks for the help. What i would like to know is this 3 things,

Have you tested the latest firmware and compared to the one all are saying it has great battery? any new implementations/drivers or camera tweaks?

Are the newest firmwares more performance optimized maybe?

What does my screenshots say? is it really bad considering i was using airplane/dnd mode like 15 hours + for that time of usage?

Thanks alot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
This all depends each one usage.

1 , the oldest to the newest there is 2 or 3 things more. Nothing important. I like Samsung cloud but prefer battery. I already test it all.

And BPIF people say its worst.

2, performance is that the thing you don't notice if you leave your phone clean.

0.5 animations, reboot after charge it and clean cache, but i notice finger print sensor is a little fast to read in the oldest.

3 , your screenshots is not so bad for 1day and 15h , android system is not the worst , i think you need to change email app and stop syncing.and try to disable everything from Google.

Wifi in this phone at home or work it must give 1h per 10% moreless in normal usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] alexxutzu:
Hi man! I also want to flash this APC8 on my 935F. Should I do something else or just download the APC8 firmware (United Kingdom) and flash it with Odin? Now I am on last firmware from Romania (vodafone).

p.s. should I activate "Secure startup" before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SEVENEDGE:
I think the more updates we get the worse it becomes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hamer221:
Yeah dunno wtf is going on with samsung but I am so ****ing tired about updates ****ing up the phone. I have always hated iphone but it will be my next phone. This is a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
You can try ACP8 XSA with APF2 XSA CSC., its my advice, download it from sammobile and do a claen flash.

Remove Google account and finger print and will not ask you any pin before you flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thunderroid:
Why is everyone takling about APC8?

Why not use BPH6?

Battery life is pretty good plus it's new.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hamer221:
Troll?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
If its good please share some screenshots with us.

Remember ACP8 is for Exynos and you i think is SD.

[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xts464:
Man, why do you always say ACP8?? It is not even exist! It's APC8, not ACP8!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Sorry mate my bad, its keyboard guilt ?

Thanks for correct me.

But most people understand. ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] markm75:
Same issue here on a t-mobile s7 edge. Is 15-17% per hour discharge pretty typical just using Chrome (no video)? phone doesn't fully sleep well throughout the day, maybe 4-7% when off vs overnight if I pull the plug, around 1.9% per hour with Bluetooth off.

How does this issue compare to that of an iPhone 6s plus, I've heard they tend to not drain as quickly? Curious
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Vogal:
Incredible 42% Android system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] localceleb:
Having a Verizon S7 edge, can I flash the APC8 firmware? If so, where can I find a link? I tried searching, but couldn't track it down.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
You only can flash roms for your model. , APC8 is for Exynos 935F.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] expiredd:
Anyone testing DBT from october security patch? I can't flash until next week :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] themaximillian:

To early to say anything yet, still on the first charge.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
Hi, do you know if flashing a old ROM could stop the OTA update ? Which ROM should I use to solve low battery life issue ? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
If you flash the 4 files from the rom you downloaded you will get updates, just after you flashed or a days after.

If you don't want updates flash a different CSC like i did and you will stuck with the rom you flashed.

If you have exynos 935f

Its APC8 the best firmware.

As you can see the screenshots no android system or OS

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cas93:
I have the DBT Model and can't find a APC8 Firmware on Updato. Can you tell when it was released? May find the equal fw for my phone by the date. Thank you!

Just tried the APG3 from 14.07.2016 because I thought the problem was the update from september, but the problem already occurs with the july update.

Does not really matter. Did you use the phone already a little bit? Look in the battery stats. If Android-System has a higher consumption rate than your Screen, the bug is still present.

I would really appreciate if you could post your stats :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Go to sammobile and download it.

As you can see today i get only 2% android System it seems almost impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MaverickHHH:
The issue with my battery drain was the latest version of Google Photos. I restored it to the factory version and now my battery is good again. Disappointing in Google for letting it get this far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
Ok thank you it reassures me. I downloaded a rom from march I hope it will fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cas93:
I do not think this is (only) Googles fault. For me, Chrome called the media transfer protocol and didn't shut it down after I opened the app. The problem occured not when chrome was updated, but when my phone got the september update. It seems that for everyone another Google App causes high battery drain.

It is more likely that Samsung just ****s up the S7 completely with their updates - and theyy don't even think about to fix it. (Okay, they have quite worse problems at the moment, though)

Please report the results! And tell us the exact build :) Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SEVENEDGE:
It seems like my S5 with stock battery would get better life than my S7 Edge. Seems like with the latest Verizon updates, my battery life has gone weaker.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Been a while since I uploaded some battery stats. APC8 - Auto Brightness - 4G only - Amplify/Greenify - Bluetooth connected to Fitbit all day - Bluetooth headphones for 2 hours - For some reason my Android OS is MUCH higher than normal. Not sure if this is due to Google Photos, Bluetooth or something I disabled. Still, battery life hasn't beef affected at all from what I see. I imagine some apps I use, their data is going to Android OS
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Do you have that APC8 rooted or stock.

Did you try it without amplify/greenify ?

Dont worry with Bluetooth don't mess with android OS.

Im more than a week with android OS low.

If you use what'sup optimaze it because it drains without using.

But when I get some time i will test android OS with other rom.

Im afraid leave again APC8 and mess with OS again.

Every day its this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] luismedina:
Well, this is unfortunate. Last friday I bought a Galaxy S7 edge, I've been using it since then with very, very good battery life until last night, out of the blue the phone started to get hot, I checked the battery usage and Android System was at the top, with very high CPU usage, also, data usage on WiFi was sending and receiving around 1 GB of data, I realized the culprit was Samsung Cloud so I changed the settings to don't backup anything. The data usage stopped but since then, Android System is at the top of the battery usage :(

I'm with the stock ROM, G935FXXU1BPH8 for TCE, any advise?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
APC8 Rooted . Android OS is usually low. Something triggered it but not sure what. Greenify didn't cause the problem. Amplify didn't initially, but in the coming days I have restricted more stuff in Amplify. I disabled background data for a lot of apps too.

What I can tell is that Android OS is uploading/sending a lot of data, not downloading much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Try disable Samsung apps and remove the update from Samsung push service just to see
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Which Samsung stuff? How do you change Samsung Push updates? I can disable Samsung Push itself with Titanium Backup
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Oh yes you are rooted you can disable or uninstall anything you want.

Samsung push service i dont change it just remove from playstore.

And Samsung apps in the settings.

Tell me , when your android OS start going up , did you charge more GB in to your sim card from your provider or anything like that.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Samsung Push disabled, didn't change anything. Will re-enable (It is needed to backup S-Health Data)

Google Sync disabled, didn't change anything.

Manually disabled Google Sync, didn't change anything. This time will untick auto sync and see

Using network log, Google Play Services, Backup transport etc used 300kb data in 30 minutes.

Whatsapp, Instagram, kernel, Cerberus all used less than 2kb and only sent packets every 5-15 minutes.

Google sent packets every 1-2 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Really want to know what trigger the OS , i m in APC8 more than a week and its low, i know if i flash other rom both System and OS are going high .

The truth is with OS low for other roms sot in my normal days are better 20 to 30 minutes until 50%.

Always do 3h.30m sot until 50%.

In wifi is around 4h.30m to 5h.

Try to find out whats that coud be.

This weekend i maybe will flash BPHC again and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
There is no need mate. Even though Android OS is now higher, my battery life has not gone down. The stats must be reporting wrong. My stats right now are good. At this rate I could achieve possibly 6 hours SOT - 2 days standby

22 Hours Standby

Battery 64%

SOT: 2hours 40minutes

Auto Brightness

4g Only

40 minutes phone calls
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Thats good.

Its better i stick with APC8 .

Yesterday i did 8h sot in 24h standby with 2h calls , 5h sot until 30% in 4G then more 3h in wifi auto brightness.

Remenber im not rooted, don't use greenify or amplify .

I have apps working only optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
That is excellent. Yeah there is nothing but battery drain and wasted time waiting for you by updating. Stick with APC8 and enjoy the phone :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
Ok guys, I just flashed an older rom with the home_csc. It works but a lot of process like "com.android.phone" did't work and stopped. So I flashed the same rom with the default csc of the rom and it worked perfectly but my data is wiped. I will use this rom to know if the battery life issue is gone. The rom that I flashed is : G935FXXS1APG3.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
That rom have a bad feedback.

Flash APC8 XSA and let me know.

And do a reset before and after to work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
Ok ty, but I have the notification for the OTA update but I don't know how to make it dissapear. Do you have the solution ?

And why flash XSA if I'm not in Australia ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Disable swupdate in app disabler

Inviato dal mio SM-G935F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
This is only a advice, XSA is a clean CSC like BTU you can optimise Facebook and others.

Im in Europe and use XSA. The updates you can flash with other CSC from the update from month after and you will not have updates.

Ex. I have APC8 XSA with APF2 CSC XSA and don't gets updates.

?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
I don't find this :/

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Ok thank you I see. But can you upload me the apf2 csc xsa file ? I don't want to download 1 rom just for the csc file :(

So i guess that apps like Facebook are installed by the csc package right?

Best way and fast is send you through email.

And don't use package Disabler.

Disable only through settings.

I just got my S7E coming from Note 7, would my screenshots show Android system drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cannapro:
Not at all ! Your battery life is awesome !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lummujaj:
So how you get 8h sot. Only leaving black picture on it doint nothing for hours ? I see some screenshots i dont see any chrome moxilla messenger facebook whatsapp snapchat etc... dont fake with the battery life. Have those all you cant get more than 5-6h in a day ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Exactly!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] filip.tin.pazin:
If they are only on WiFi, low brightness and location off, it is possible to get SOT of 8+ hours...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lummujaj:
As i said. You can get 8h without touching the phone. Just see the screenshots. No social media apps. Like them i can get more than 8h . Phone is to have mails synced all the time. I have 3 mails on it. Fb instagram snapchat viber whatsapp. Some news apps with push notification on. And im happy i get 5h on it. I want to force those greedy members to install all those and post battery life. Watching netflix all the day its not real screen on time. FAKE FAKE FAKE SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Wrong

I've listened to Spotify on many occasions, 3 hours or more and yet in the battery stats, cpu time is no more than 30 minutes. The screen should typically always be the biggest drainer. Yes, some people do fake their SOT times but with a properly optimised phone, good signal and no more than 50% brightness, you can hit 8 hours SOT.

Will always be easier with WiFi. Just because you are unable to hit it, don't assume EVERYONE is faking it. I nearly hit 8 hours SOT on 4g. Bluetooth is connnected to my fitbit all day, I typically listen to 2 hours of music or more via bluetooth. Phone calls typically an hour. I use whatsapp all day, browse reddit all the time, use facebook (not the poor official app), browse using the internet. Watched some pixel unboxing videos etc.

Edit: And I also use the battery hugging, always wanting GPS, blood sucking Snapchat app lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
8h in wifi is easy with auto brightness and using the phone with no restrictions.

Like [MENTION=4225539]galatus[/MENTION] said you just need to know how to optimise your phone.

4G 5h to 7h and wifi 8h to 10h sot.

Just need to have a good standby without drain.

And good fw. Check a few pages back.

But i struggle a little bit to get there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Never even came close to 8h SoT

Once got 7 with Brightness to the lowest and airplane mode all day

With normal use i get like 4-5

Use greenify, amplify, powernap, forcedoze, apps freezed with titanium on al different kinds of settings and different combinations

Still dont get any more SoT than when i use my phone stock with some light tweaks

I dont believe 7h SoT on a normal persons day is possible
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Well I don't use Facebook or any social media on my phone, just primarily music and video, aside from business use with clients throughout the day. I also have tons blocked with EZ Package Disabler pro. My screenshots are the result of me using the phone as I normally do, so for my experience it's tremendous.

One would think it's rather Captain Obvious that if you're using all kinds of bull**** like Facebook, Instagram, blah blah then your battery life will reflect that...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Why use so many apps to freeze and force close.

You don't see that more apps you use more Ram and battery are spend.

And even with package Disabler or EZ disabler only mess with the system and the drain starts.

I already try and say this thousand times.

Social apps don't drain that much if we know how to use it.

I try all Facebooks even some paids and the best for use it's the official.

Just use a CSC that can optimise Facebook.

If you use a lot video and music why not a ipod.

But is a good sot you have and its possible using normal usage in wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
I mean i have tried them all with sometimes combining, not at once :P i now all that ram adds up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
7 hour sot is simple. I've been on the phone today via a bluetooth headset for nearly 3 hours. Watched a pocketnow podcast on youtube which was an hour and a half, browsed reddit, done an hours walk with GPS running constantly, fitbit connected all day, auto brightness (a decent amount in the sun = 100% brightness), reddit, facebook and I'm at 3.30 hours SOT over a 12 hour period. Down to 51% battery.

I'll probably have a lighter day, (no GPS, less phone call time) using my phone more during a 3 hour drive to another city, 7 hours SOT achieved.

All you need is Amplify, greenify and titanium backup to disable things that aren't needed.
