Batterylife is doing awesome. Check the pics!

Going to get 7hrs SOT probably and waaaaaaaay more then 24 hrs of use :) No more need to stay on older firmware :D :D :D (EDIT: I am using s7 flat! not s7 edge :D, and then such great batterylife!)

I see im having some problems with conection to 4G

Signal is weak and get lose some times.

This is APG3
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DeepWaters:
This was COMPLETELY resolved on T-Mobile with the APG1 update which became available OTA on July 8. Standby drain ~1%/hour and with moderate use I was still at 80% off the charger 7A - 5P; even better than original firmware. Had been 40% at best on the previous update. Confirmed on two phones.

Unfortunately it doesn't look to have stuck, as last night my battery drained 13% overnight. The inconsistency is the most frustrating part.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shr273:
My battery life is excellent. If I'm using the phone non-stop for a long time, it's not. But for normal everyday use, it does last.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DeepWaters:
Tada! As a "new user" can't post links (or see an attach button?) so the three screenshots are i66.tinypic.com/ 244tlog.png fzaknr.png 24pw80k.png

77% on battery ~ 8 hours. Moderate usage, and with just about everything enabled: bluetooth, GPS, wifi, auto updates. Android System seems high, but it was mostly on standby. Was a bit better the other day...still good IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eran Says:
I'm on the July firmware and I feel like my battery life has gotten worse. How much screen time are you getting per charge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DeepWaters:
Heavier "regular use" on the second phone including screen time (games, messaging, a bit of video, FB, etc.) has been extended from ~7 hours to to ~14 hours before hitting the 15% warning, so it's back to being enough for a full day. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eran Says:
Did you do a full wipe prior to installing the new firmware? I'm getting like 4 hours of screen time per charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anibalhuneeus:
I don't know what to do... Just cleaned install via ODIN APG3 hoping that the drain issue would be gone (I read good comments on battery life on some earlier posts regarding APG3) however Android System is above 20% usage..

Any ideas? I'm about to give up on this phone, I read all over the place people getting 6+ SoT while I can barely hit 5
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Well for me my friend. , APG3 was the worse update until now i test it.

There is only one thing i notice that was better , the standby during the night was very good. With or without wifi.

The rest don't work.

Android OS gets so high that drain the battery fast.

Battery in wifi is worse.

And finger print sensor lags a little bit.

I return last night to ACP8 and no problems here , and work with the 3rd party apps.

Always test it with factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] samsat:
Nothing wrong with 5 to 6+ SOT. You can have the screen on while using apps. that draw lots of current or those that draw less current. I could turn the auto dim off turn the brightness down and get a huge amount of SOT. That however is not how I use my phone. While abroad last week I had airplane mode on permanently on and was getting 7+ hours SOT and nearly 2 days battery life.

My Edge is stock with APF2. Overnight drain is .3% per hour. Right now I have 71% left. 9h on battery with estimated 26h left. SOT 2h (25%) including a 24 minute Skype call (30%) with video.

I am looking for my phone to be at least as good as my LG G3 which it replaced under similar usage. So far it is a lot better. Now that I know the phone is operating to spec. I'm not too concerned about exact SOT or battery life which will continue to vary based on type of usage.

I thought pg1 had fixed this android being so high. The first few days android system was low. It's back, tho I feel my battery is doing fine. Deep sleeping like she should so idk. I wish I knew what was going on in that "system".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kitch9:
It's wi fi causing it. I've just had a week away with no wi fi, android system was at 9%. I've got home to permanent wi fi and it's 29% again. I've just enabled the option to turn off wi fi while sleeping as it's defaulted to permanently on so I'll see what difference that makes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] anibalhuneeus:
Interesting, let us know if there's real differences
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
It could be, but it could also be some services that are only doing work when you are on Wi-Fi. Many services sleep and don't do work when not on Wi-Fi.

Also, it should be noted that when on Wi-Fi on APC8, the Android System is around 3-4%, and on 4G only it is around 1-2%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
Mine android OS in 4G is very high.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kitch9:
Currently around 17% with wi fi off during sleep. Seems to make a difference to Android System.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] quarintus:
I updated the fix I suggested in another thread. I totally forgot about two other settings I changed.

Maybe that's why it only worked for some people until now.

Someone care to try it?

Please no reactions like: this doesn't work, it cannot work. Becasue it worked already for SOME people. Just try it and then report back if it worked for you or not, and if you are using exynos or snapdragon. If you are not experiencing drain, then it's no use to try this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bluemu:
I want to make sure I understand your directions correctly. When you say that you removed your location history, did you "Delete Location History" or did you turn location history off for your device in addition to other devices? I'm asking because in your Update instructions you seemed to make a distinction between "This device" and "Other devices on this account."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paddy-:
Hey ,

Im not sure if that belong to this thread but I have a really bad Battery Life . Maybe some ideas how I can fix it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] quarintus:
So you TURN OFF other devices. On top is your current device. Let it ON.

And yes: delete the location history :)

This is a big issue for me. Almost 1 wakelock a minute is unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bluemu:
Ok, thank you for clarifying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] L4s7Re4lG4mer:
Ok, i habe been strugling with this battery drain since the purchase of this phone since now there was no real information for months everyone expirience the issue and cant deal with it. However i found a way to make wakelock detector work and i think i found the real issue. The wakelock whixh causes the drain is not the ansroid system or google play services, its actualy a kernel wakelock which keeps the lhone awake and thats the reason for those services to pop at first when you go to battery graph. It'a spp_wakelock you can see the list in the screen shot and if anyone knows what are those names reffering to could give some help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pilzgift:
Nice find. However, it looks like it might not just be spp but in fact several shown kernel wakelocks which are running wild there. Was the device kept unused during measurement?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] L4s7Re4lG4mer:
Yes that data is collected during the night. When i qas sleeping . I did this measurement exactly for this i charged to 100% and went to sleep and in the morning it has lost a lot during the night which is not normal couse i read of many isers losing 1-2% per night. Just for the record i have wifi ON , BT ON 4G ON
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] talian007:
What are those first?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] L4s7Re4lG4mer:
Anyone has information about those wakelocks ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Hexshade:
Absolutely ridiculous. This is the most expensive flagship on the market right now. I've had it for 4 months and been waiting patiently for a fix. I also had this issue on my S6 and it's clear Samsung doesn't intend to fix. Will be switching to Apple soon.

Hi, Canadian version of s7 (G930W8) here.

Huge Android System battery drain. I've tried almost everything from 190 pages of this thread here and nothing seems to fix my problem.

I decided to go back to the earlier firmware. Could anyone help me finding it? On sammobile I can't find APC8 but the reason might be it's Canadian version...

So, which firmware should I pick? Sorry for dumb questions but I'm doing that for the first time.

That's what I've found so far: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930W8/

EDIT: I found the firmware for Bell Canada. Do you guys think it might work with wind mobile which im in atm?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gabytzubc:
Did u guys see that wifi and mobile data and other things ar countered în Android system.maybe this is IT. On others phone u have wifi separately and others things
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] alexdiaz:
You may have a point here, I'm suspecting that starting with APD1, WiFi is under Android System.

From what I can see with APG3, if I don't use WiFi at all for a day, just 4G, Android System consumes 6-9% and Android OS 6-8%. I can see other apps increasing their percentage in battery history compared to when on WiFi.

If I use WiFi and 4G, but mostly WiFi during the day when at home and at work, Android System consumes 13-19% and Android OS 5-8%.

Despite these numbers, I have better battery on WiFi scenario.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gabytzubc:
Me 2. I manage to get 7 8h sot,even playing 3 Maybe 4hr continuously (on wifi)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kolooor:
According to my previous post about Canadian g930w8 I flashed APB7 firmware and since then my battery lasts much longer. I guess it's the only way. Just FYI if someone's in the similar situation as I was.

Android system is at 28% and battery life has been pretty poor since day 1. I want to keep the phone because my bank is finally getting Samsung Pay but this stinks. My Nexus 6 and 6P run circles around it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Many services that do data exchange over Wi-Fi only, don't wake up unless Wi-Fi is available. For example, various backup services. This is probably the explanation of what you're seeing (better battery life on Wi-Fi even with more drain from Android System), because those services doing their work is not enough to offset the power consumption difference between Wi-Fi and 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] biustech:
same thing here. I'm on APF5 for over a month and never had this problem, now is high usage from Android System. I tried to wipe cache and data using custom recovery but I don't know why gives me errors saying it can't mount the partitions.

do you mind sharing the stuff you disabled, and i remember now i disabled one thing too, after discovering the drain, i disabled "enhanced features"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cavags5:
I really sometimes dont know what's going on with the phone, after flash a lot of different stock roms, the last i flash was XSA Australia ACP8 then update to the last update APGH usually all firmwares in 4G android OS always get high. And today i don't know if was the 2h of phone calls i had the best standby in 4G ever, and Android OS and system was stable. Coud be the doze is working well.

I didn't know but XSA is like BTU its a clean CSC. I could say its a little better than APGI brazil.

One hope for lower Android System drain is the new BPH6 firmware. This is the first firmware that actually contains things other than security patches, since APD1. If the Android System remains high on this firmware too, I think that there is no hope that it will ever be reduced to APC8 level.

Waiting for user feedback (and most importantly, screenshots of battery usage) on BPH6 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sartre:
According to user cavags5 in the stock fw-thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68181947&postcount=2210 the Android system drain isn't better than in APGH, but we probably have to wait a few more days to reach any definitive conclusions.

I've been on APGH XSA with NEE CSC (to get Volte in my country) for about one week or so and the battery life is okay but not amazing. Averaging 5-6 hours SOT with 18-22 hours standby (mixed usage of wifi and 4G, about 40% screen brightness, sync on for gmail and exchange from my work and Volte activated). Android System is usually between 14-20% and Android OS at 8-12%.

I just went to ITV to test it out for a few days with a dirty flash from APGH XSA.

I really don't like dirty flash but let us know your feedback about android system and battery in a couple of days.

Im on 4G and android system ate 13 14 % and Android OS now 6%.
