Hello Guys,

this is my s7edge with a day usage. I noticed that google service is taking 17% of the total power consumption that it's a bit high.

The first days I got the phone it was great I can play for 3-4 hours and get from 100% to 72%, but now after I received the update about security patch on April (I'm on Exynos European version) the battery life change.

http://i66.tinypic.com/x6l6yb.png

I will be glad to receive any kind of advice from you!

After I've received the new update by OTA, (Exynos version - android security patch) I did not do wipe reset. If this matter as info

regards,

There are may reports claiming the APD1 firmware does not have good battery life but I cannot confirm this yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] yondco:
Seems like everyone gets about 7hrs sot on this phone (exynos) ,same to me, I don't feel comfortable with this battery life .hope Samsung can release some update to fix the problem.btw my screen battery usage takes 50%or above every fully charged
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Monkey Slut:
What problem? What are you talking about? I literally don't understand you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Diaze:
Wtf man:))) thats best battery life of any smartphone right now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Denli:
I can confirm that APD1 firmware is not that battery friendly. I cannot have more than 5 h SOT. With previous firmware I could get 8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] quadlt:
Interesting. Running Renovate r4 here (based on APD1), pretty nice results on 2 full days with tons of sleep time. Half time full brightness, half 50% brightness.

How many of you guys have rooted already?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ksekhar:
Didn't stable any stock apps

Bluetooth, data, wifi on 24/7, location on wifi and mobile.

I get 4+ with 20% battery remaining. I use amplify and doze of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gagan313:
Snapdragon 820 = 12 hr 48mins screen on time

Exynos variant= 14 hr 21 mins screen on time

Both used in exactly the same way.

Snapdragon tended to use more power when running games. Gets hotter quicker too.

Both phones almost match the SOT of my old note 4 which was heavily modded for battery.

This is amazing... these kind of results without modding anything.

Results also were done over a 3 day period and done in a completely stock and fair manner.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] denzel09:
Exynos variant. Last APD1 firmware.

Really a lot of web browsing.

I use Signal app, no WA. No facebook or other social.

Tapatalk.

All stock, no root, only few not used apps disabled like facebook, etc..

First cycle of charge.

Brightness always on auto.

Always wifi and lte on.

Aereo mode overnight.

Hi, i think you can try a factory reset or wipe cache.. also there are a lot of guide online! You can see what the users did to solve this problem!

Definitely facebook, i ended up disabling it and using the website, i get around 6-7 hours screen on time now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gagan313:
If you have bad battery you can check you battery stats to see whats using up the battery.

Samsung guarantees an entire season if game of thrones on one battery charge... also if your phone is brand new. You may need to give it a month before the battery calibration settles down. Mine is on and off too!... well 4 days ago is when i last charged my phone. On light to medium use I charged my phone last night at 21% remaining. This morning at 100% all iv done is opened xda on my phone and im writing this post and im at 97% already.

What i usually find is that 100 to about 95% usually discharges fast. From about 94 to 0% the battery is amazingly prolonged. Try to cycle your charges properly too. This means once a month or so charge your phone from a battery level below 30% preferably.

Another fix to try for battery drain is shutting off the phone and restarting it. Samsung made this a "thing" so we have option to automatically restart the phone at night when its not being used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] AlcatrazTiVu:
So you think I have to wait a month before I can get a good battery life ? I've phone for 3 weeks.

I charger the phone only when it switch off at 0% and the night don't use fast charger now with 45m of screen I'm at 83% with only Facebook WhatsApp and little use of Spotify

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gagan313:
Ah that makes a bit more sense of your problem. Dont ever let you phone go down to 0 all the time. Try to charge it before it goes down to 5%.

Battery performance is quite better after factory reset

NEARBY DEVICES SCANNING OFF(IMPORTANT)

LOCATION OFF

in the battery section go to "app power saving" and click on details and there turn it "on" and then select for every single app the option "always save power".This of course means that you will not get any notifications. from email, facebook..etc..on the top menu bar.

I dont need that because i check my phone every 2 seconds.

This is similar to what I am getting, but my phone lasts all day with battery to spare. Also Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Monkey Slut:
Few tips from me (some will be just reapeted from other posts ):

- disable Samsung location ( I have google location on cause of gps, wifi and network localisation - for phone recovery - if you use location with gps, network and wifi google location needs to be enabled)

- disable apps you dont need in background data settings

- turn off permission for apps you dont use/ or you dont want to have specific permission ( e.g. i disabled all permissions for s voice app and now i dont see it to be draining battery from the location settings)

- i also disabled notifications for apps i dont use

- turn off automatic updates - for google store, app store, browsers, apps, etc

- i disabled apps like google application, google store music, chrome etc - apps that are form google, not from samsung - to not interfere with processes

thats all i can think off right now . maybe it will help somebody. its hard for me to judge my battery cause its usually under heavy usage - browsing, listening to music through spotify, weak wifi and network signal, aod , location on , cerberus , taking photos, brightness almost all the time on max (cause of summer) - but i can get about 3-5 hours of sot, so i think its pretty good. also im on apd1 so its one of the worsts firmwares , and my system and android os is always smaller than screen.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] perikach:
really good battery

Really impressed with the battery of the s7 edge. Coming from a GS6 its double the battery at least. One thing though, whats with the high usage of android system and standby time? SM-G935F EXYNOS
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gagan313:
Mate the s7 edge is the first truly no compromise solution. All i did is turn off the edge screen....upday...svoice and AOD... brightness automatic always between 75% and 100%.

Do this and you should get a minimum of 8 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

2-3% overnight for me. AOD off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] czucker:
I had been having an issue where mine was never entering deep sleep. I tracked it to two things. Google voice recognition on every screen and auto backup. Once I turned those off, the battery drain seems much improved, although I only made those changes this afternoon.

If you're having issues you might try to identify the wakelock via ADB. Run the below code in a loop and see what pops up. It worked for me.

That being said, I sure miss having root to run BetterBattery Stats. . . . Sigh. . . .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GeneralGiap:
sorry for the stupid question: does S7 Edge enter deep sleep automatically?

I am having a serious battery drain issue in standby. I did just turn off my google voice recognition on every screen (thanks czucker) so I'll see what happens. Im kinda upset with the performance though. I picked up the phone on Tuesday from my local sprint store (pre-ordered and it came in early) so maybe the phone is still learning my usage patterns but still the standby battery drain is concerning...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gasmast00:
Maybe I have the same issue. How could you turn the Google voice recognition and the auto backup off?

Ty
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] pietronigro:
I fixed standby drain by turning off NFC and set OneDrive to only upload when charging. Donno if thats your problem, but its my best tips since it worked for me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] larsheat:
Where can i turn those 2 features off? thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Chris_84:
You will find voice recognition in the Google app under settings/voice/OK Google. The second one is in settings/backup and reset under samsung account.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] roxylove:
In my first full day with the S7 Edge I was not super impressed with the battery. From 7am to 9pm, from a full charge I ended the day around 10% with very minimal. Maybe the large screen takes up more juice than I thought---I was expecting the larger battery to last me quite a bit longer. Coming from the HTC M9 and that battery ended my day around 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GeneralGiap:
Thank you! After a few days usage, still not getting good battery life, usage time is around 11-12 hrs, the battery drain appears to be android system. I've turned off almost all apps from notifications and auto updates. Reading other posts the exynos version is getting great life. The 820 and Android system aren't playing nice...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Xeel:
drained overnight

I fully charged the phone 100% before bed. Next morning, 8 hours later battery down to 12 % with android and screen sharing the usage. Next day I resetted the phone to uninstall all my apps and tried again - still almost same result. Is there anything I can do to investigate this? I have turned off Google Voice and Automatic Backups already - the huge battery is performing worse than the htc one m7 i replaced :(

Any suggestions?

Edit: Should have mentioned - the phone gets untouchable by morning! hot as anything - i guess i should be contacting Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] leoking3:
No suggestion. It is best to contact Samsung, as this behavior is not normal. These phones are made to be used, and not for us to turn off almost everything just to get through a day. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GeneralGiap:
Any updates? did you try with AOD off? I think that was my issue, with AOD on, the phone never dozed...with it off, its sleeping like a baby! finally this crying baby is sleeping!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] dodgeboy:
Thanks for the ADB command. I'm showing "AlpmModeManager" as a "Doze_Wake_Lock" (I modified the grep string a bit because partial wasn't giving any hits)... Any idea what that is?

Guess when I tuned off the AOD xD

Guys if you have Quick Tools enabled as one of the Edge tools, try disabling it. This is what I just noticed:

All apps that are part of android system report this percentage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mitko76:
Had an issue with the "Pocket" app. This awful crap drained almost 10% of my battery and I did not even used it (I did not setup the app and did not opened it.. not even once..). All good after I uninstalled it.

Looking pretty solid so far after a lot of tinkering. Total uptime now since unplugged is just about 32 hours (too lazy to take a new screenshot, but I am now at 20% battery as I post this), with 3.2 hours SOT. Usage drain has come down a bit from the first few days of root and idle drain has been almost non-existent. If I continue at this rate until the end of this battery cycle, I will probably have close to 40 hours of uptime on a single charge, with just about 3-4 hours SOT.

Using: Greenify (boost), L Speed, TB (froze a bunch of items I personally don't use), ForceDoze and have GSAM for battery monitoring. Android OS is still a big offender, but at this point I'm not sure how accurate GSAM is in listing it at the top. Been just texting (Textra + FB Msger) and reading on Chrome/Facebook App.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] snake2332:
Haha, no doubt. It's just frustrating when you expect something on your beloved smartphone and it doesn't work right.

Today I'm getting better results. 85% of sleep time was in doze. I'm guessing it's because I turned on "aggressive doze" and "shallow hibernation" in Greenify. I had these settings and a lot more back on the PE1 firmware, but I'm now on the PEH 935U firmware without much tweaking done.

I must say, this 935U PEH firmware with root is performing great compared to the laggy experience I had on the 935V PE1 firmware with root. Happy with performance and now I'm happy with battery. Last night, I had about 9 hours since unplugged, 3h40m SOT, and was at 48% remaining when I threw it on the charger and went to sleep. Most of that SOT was low brightness browsing 9GAG and Chrome. Today, overall seeing drain of 1.0%/hr in standby with weak cell signal. I'm satisfied enough to stop nit-picking and just use the device now.

And you may ask yourself

How do I work this?

And you may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful wife

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] wilson289:
Would you say your performance is comparable to mines above? Would be great if you could provide screenshots, as you seem to have gotten way more SOT than me while using some of the same apps. My idle drain is almost non-existent but usage drain comes pretty quickly. I want to know this to see if it might be worth it for me to switch over to 935U root from 935V root - though, I am pretty satisfied currently :).

Hi, i got the euorpean version yesterday and went through installing my apps and updating the os. i started with 73% after unpacking and after 4 hours or less i was about 12%.

i plugged in the charger and went to bed and after like 4 it went from 100% to 93%

PS: i had everything on and i dont have cell phone coverage in my place right now

is this normal? should i be worried?

and now its at 100% and the battery says estimated remaining time is 10h what the hell its sitting doing nothing but its still 100%

In a minute ... an hour ... a night? :D

Assuming you meant during an average night, 7 to 8 hours and whilst in doze mode that is about normal give or take a couple of percentages.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nTrophy:
Here to chime in.

I bought at&t S7 Edge when it came out. Battery life had been amazing until a couple of weeks ago.

Suddenly, my phone's battery begun draining like crazy. If I had about 60% battery left at the end of my workday before, I started having about 35%.

"Android System" being the main culprit eating about 30-35% of the pie. "Android OS" being the second with ~20%.

Got the latest update notification from at@t a couple of days ago, updated, and (imagine my surprise) I've ended up with with my battery at 83% (!!!) by the end of today.

Wich is kind of unbelievable, because it's never been THAT good before. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

I was at a hundred in the morning, obv, then I used my phone nonstop during my 1 hour commute, then occasionally during the day for email, reddit, etc. Not too often.

At 5PM I was at 83%. Even with 0 usage I would consider that to be really, REALLY good before.

Let me tell you, I'm looking forward to see what happens tomorrow. Fingers crossed and all :)

Got my s7 edge 4 days ago and ever since i got this nasty google play-services bug. It seems to wake up the phone, a lot. Attached screenshot is taken just 2 hours off the charger. The amount of wakeups for the play-services is already at almost a thousand. Running completely stock with the laters apg4 build . Tried disabling location services to no avail. Got the phone hooked up to my moto 360 and nothing else really. Anyone knows a possible fix for this problem? Also, the android system and android OS is quite high up in my battery overview, almost at the same level as the display.
