Lol those aren't serious bugs, if you don't get sound you just have to replace your backup
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ShAd0W_z0nE:
I Found it! The solution was so simple, was in program's (Music apk) settings.

Go to Settings--> Deactivate ClearAudio+ -->Enter Sound Settings

-Activate dynamic Normaliser

Now activate clear audio+ from the same window. Done!

The idea of the game is good, but the graphics quality is poor and it becomes very heavy complete the level. They should be less objective and shorter levels.

The battery stats are consistently showing Android System (around 35%) and Android OS (around 15%) totaling just under 50% of battery usage, is anyone else seeing this and/or know how to reduce this?

Welcome to the world of Marshmallow, where battery sucks too, like Lollipop
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] zul8er:
Not all marshmallow created the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supernova_00:
The screen has been either the third or fourth down on my list. I can't figure out what is causing the drain though as I have any and everything disabled that normally kills the battery. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still getting more usage than with my S6 but it hurts knowing that I could be getting a lot more if the Android System and OS wasn't draining so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Shaftamle:
I have to say I've noticed the same. Are you using a ROM? Also,depending on your phone/ROM there may be a way to turn off ambient sensor. This is the option that marshmallow use to wake the phone when picked up, notified , ect. Its seems disabling this prevents a lot of system use and wakelocks. At least for me it does. Worth a shot.

Just stock Marshmallow on my S7 and I have all of that "smart" stuff disabled, like the smart stay to keep screen on while reading, gestures for various things, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pneumatic:
I was coming here to try and figure out the same thing. Android OS and Android System are always #1 and #2 on my battery drain. I know I could get a LOT more life out of it if I could figure out why.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supernova_00:
I'm thinking of being the guinea pig and sideloading the newest google play services to see if that helps. The one on our phones, or at least mine and my wife's, is old and made for lollipop and older. I'm not sure why we haven't gotten the marshmallow version.

The most recent 8.7.02 but we have 8.4.89.

The -440 is the key here. The first 4 means marshmallow, the second 4 means arm64-v8a CPU architecture, and the 0 means universal dpi
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supernova_00:
I disabled VoLTE today and it seems to have helped. They have currently drained a total of 36% (down from 50%) so far. Android System used 20% (down from 35%) and Android OS using the same 15%.

I can't say for sure this is what caused the drop though because I'm also in an area with 4GLTE whereas every other day I was in an area with only 4G all day. So could having VoLTE enabled while not being connected to a LTE tower cause the Android System to drain the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] elijahblake:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sling:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] km8j:
Yea but that is only 10% usage of battery. Wait another 8 hours and let us know.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Ive disabled like 30 packages and that is about as far as I'm comfortable going without someone else here being able to identify what each of the packages are used for. Will see if this does anything. I'm down 25% already in just about 4 hours with 30 min SOT and 20 min of voice calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sling:
Yes true another 8 hours would have been ugly.

Disabling device Nearby Scanning seems to had did the trick 4hr 1% loss , Unfortunately I didn't take System Usage screen shot of change made.

As far as disabling packages , that can do more harm then good they work off each other.

Your best bet start from scratch hard boot back to basic disables no 3rd party app installs & go from there

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] rogerchew:
the issue I have with this is not that the phone is performing poorly. I can get pretty consistent 4-5 hours SOT even with OS/System hogging up 50% of battery usage. My gripe is how much MORE SOT and battery life I COULD be getting if OS/System had more normal drains around 25% combined. That frees up at least another hour or 2 of SOT that I COULD be having! that is what really frustrates me with seeing other phones not reporting this type of battery usage.

I don't even get 4-5 hrs SOT, I typicallu get about 3.5...

Heard **** from Samsung saying to remove the battery saving stuff I've done. All crap. Hers where I'm at today so far (****ty service in the studio so on WiFi all day)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] BryyBlack:
Same issues...

I'm having pretty poor battery life on my S7. I will charge my phone to 100% right before I go to bed and then I let it sit overnight and don't touch it. About 5% is used while asleep, and I'm sleeping about 6-7 hours a night depending. During the day, just listening to Spotify (I have the music downloaded to my phone for offline), I'll use about 5% in less than an hour. I usually start using my phone around 7am, and today, but about 3pm, I was at 20% and had to recharge for the rest of the night. In my battery monitor, Android System is the highest and then Android OS, Screen, etc. I don't have screen shots right now either. I use AT&T and have 3-4 bars of LTE at all times, if not more. My stats are below:

Wifi: On

Bluetooth: Off

Location: High accuracy

Sync: On

AOD: off

NFC: off

Mobile Data: on

All advanced features are off but Direct Call and Quick launch Camera.

Display: about 30% almost all the time

Screen mode: AMOLED photo

Smart Stay: off

SOT: ~4-4.5, 5 on a good day

I've tried wiping the cache, turning off the phone, letting it die all the way and recharging. I don't have any fix for this. GSam Battery Monitor doesn't seem to be providing me any information. WiFi doesn't seem to be the issue because it does the same thing when the phone has it turned off. I don't know what to do. I want to love this phone but this terrible battery life is making me hate it!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Ramondel:
So tell us your secret. What do you have disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LuigiBull23:
No secret. I was already achieving 7 hrs of screen time over the course of 2 days on stock. From there I went on to disable about 138 packages of bloatware along with some features I never use, which gave me an additional 25 minutes of screen use. So no issues with battery life on MY end. I never really had to disable any apps or services but I figured, why leave what I don't use?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LuigiBull23:
Sorry that happened but I didn't disable anything that could cause the UI to crash or soft brick the phone. I think the only way this could've possibly happened is if you didn't re-enable all disabled packages before taking today's update. Other than that, this shouldn't have happened. I'm also a TMO user and have had ZERO issues with the 138 packages I've disabled. But I guess every phone is just different like that..

It wasn't cuz of the update

I was in the er on Saturday so I was bored and tried your xml the system ui crashed so I rebooted
