My battery life is very good IMO. I had 4 hours of SOT yesterday, and was still at 25% remaining battery. I could barely hit 3 hours SOT on my previous Nexus 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] le0.br4zuc4:
Battery life is incredible. Way better than it was on my S6 Edge and better than it was on my Note 5. I'm very happy with this phone and battery.

I don't pay too much attention on what uses my battery. In use my phone a lot and I go to bed at 11 or so with about 20% left..

I'm getting roughly 6hr sot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] thekojac:
My "usage" time is great. I could probably get 5-6 hours SoT easily. If I used the phone non-stop.

Problem for me is that the phone uses almost as much battery in standby as it does when I'm using it to browse the web, check Twitter, etc. It's really awful. Accouding to Wakelock Detector, my phone is being held awake nearly 40% of the time from powermanagerservices wakelock and some random .uart wakelock.

I have a suspicion that bluetooth is responsible for most of this, but I'm not sure. I really don't want to turn bluetooth off, as I use a smartwatch and play music over bluetooth in my car, so it would be a major inconvenience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] v2.2v:
Has anyone else had the play store eat a lot of battery lately? Yesterday it was 30% of my battery. I charged up last night, rebooted, waited almost 20 mins and it says play store is 100% of my battery drain lol never opened it or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hp79:
I had Google Play Services eating up battery on some days. There's definitely something going on. Usually a reboot or force closing the PlayStore fixes this, but who wants to do that all the time and pray that it'll work correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] josetheman38:
With my usage at work after being charged to 100% leaving my car: Bluetooth headset, android wear, auto sync on, wifi off, screen off while either listening to google play music or YouTube, after two hours my drain is about 12% after two hours. I charge it during my break for 15 minutes, where it goes back to 90%, two hours later I come back at 76%, then charge my phone again for 30 minutes during lunch (will probably go up to 90% again). So I have to charge it twice in order to make it through the day, but I guess the 2 Bluetooth devices any the constant use of LTE does a number on my battery. I don't think that it would last more than 6 hours without charging. Same thing with my other phone (N6P). GPS set at "device only" auto brightness on and screen brightness at around 40%. I'm also using a dark theme and a completely dark wallpaper. So I guess my battery life is good for my patern of usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] wes53177:
Pretty awesome. One reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
Man with this battery not being removable I would try to avoid charging when it is over 50%. Full disclosure I am paranoid but my z3v held a very good charge well into a year of its life. I love quick charge but I worry about its long term effects as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] josetheman38:
I thought it was the other way around? That it's better to charge your battery before it gets too low so that you avoid a charging cycle? Or am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
Well that too. I charge once a day per my usage and if need be plug it in before the 15% warning. I have heard that it is hard on a battery to keep it at full charge on top of completely discharging it routinely. So if its not the usual usage you can certainly get by using it like that every now and then. I have also heard if you store any devices it's best to put them to 30%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
O hai! You jumped ship too to the GS7 Edge. Lol

What are your battery stats like? I'm getting somewhere between 4-5 hours SOT on average for a while days usage and sometimes 6 on a good day. If this was rootable, I'm pretty sure I'll see much higher stats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
Good to see you. No I have the standard s7. I get about 4-5 hours SOT and it lasts about a day day and a half. I jumped way back when they were giving away the gear vr's for preorder. Great phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] en28so:
BB is still giving out the gear VR. When I got mine a few days ago, I got the 32 inch Samsung smart TV instead (worth $200).

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

So in other words, don't keep it fully charged all the time, and only charge it until it's 15% (but not less than that)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
Wow thats a good deal. I really dig the VR but I see I can get the same effect with one of those cheap Chinese headsets. I only really use the cardboard camera to take 360 photos. We really should have a cardboard camera thread now that I think of it.

Pretty much and you should have a battery that will hold a higher charge for more of it's life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] en28so:
BTW, I bought mine retail without a contract any still for the TV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
It's better to charge the phone when the battery is higher, rather than very low.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
It's good practice to run a full backup of your ROM and user data every once in awhile, in case you flash something and get into a bootloop. Thanks to TWRP's scripting capabilities, we can trigger a weekly backup.

Prerequisites

Root Access

Instructions

Create a new Profile named TWRP Backup.

Create a Time context, and choose a time at night you want the TWRP backup to take place. For me, I made it at 4:00AM. To pick a single time, check both "From" and "To" and put the exact same time in both.

No need to name the task anything, just enter its configuration.

Code --> Run Shell. This is the code you'll need:

chmod 0777 /cache/recovery
echo "wipe cache\nwipe dalvik\nbackup SDBOM weeklybackup \ncmd reboot" > /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript

Be VERY sure that this is typed exactly as such! Tick "Use Root" and then exit.

Files --> Delete Directory. Delete the TWRP/BACKUPS/YOURDEVICEUNIQUEID/weeklybackup. Check "Recurse." In order to get your device's unique ID, you need to simply navigate to TWRP/BACKUPS using any file explorer. You should have already made a previous backup, as TWRP will automatically create this folder. (Note: since you likely don't have a weeklybackup folder already here, it will likely fail the first time. You can easily just skip this action and make a backup once with this name, and then it'll work from then onwards).

Plugin --> Secure Settings. Go to Root Settings --> Reboot Options --> Reboot Recovery.

Exit out the task editing, and now add a few more contexts to make the backup run at an appropriate time. I added a power context so it only occurs when my phone is charging; I added a date context so it only runs on Sunday; and I also added a WiFi connected context so it only occurs when I'm at home.

That's it! This should satisfy the average TWRP user. MAKE THOSE BACKUPS!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] PeteT:
I've been meaning to try to found out how to do this.

Thank you
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rambo69:
For me it doesn't work

It's boots to recovery

Then it bootloops with message

"formatting cache using ext4"

Edit* I'm on 6.0.1 with TWRP 3.0
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Follow_and_Feel:
It works flawlessy, awesome! :) Thanks op :)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Giblet-dono:
Reboot Recovery in Secure Settings is a PRO option!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bjoswald:
Are there any decent alternatives to TWRP these days?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Giblet-dono:
Not really the thread to ask this question..

Could search for phillz it's available for select devices (but TWRP is better) and thats about it..
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Contivity:
Instead of using secure setting pro option, can't we just use run root shell command reboot recovery command?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Giblet-dono:
No idea.. what I DO know is that this script gave me a hang on boot :<

Make a complete backup before running the script for the first time!

I am not sure yet why, but maybe someone (OP?) can help me out here..

I'm using an HTC One M8 with Marshmallow rom (ViperOneM8) which is stock HTC Sense based.

I use TWRP 2.7.8.0
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Guess this doesn't work so well if you have secure boot enabled requiring a pin/passphrase.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Follow_and_Feel:
So as I stated above this worked pretty well for me (it made the backup, rebooted me), but if I now go into tasker the "make-backup"-profile is gone?! This seems pretty pointless, if I have to set up the whole thing every time I use it ^^
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Arstoien:
Obviously you need to exit Tasker once, to save the profile. If you enter all actions in the task and run the task manually, it'll restart your phone without Tasker having saved what you've done.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Follow_and_Feel:
Oh haha thank you! Stupidity at its best :laugh: thanks
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bagarwa:
I do my backup to a usb-otg drive though. What do I need to modify in this profile to make sure that the backup gets stored only on the otg drive and skips entirely if no otg drive is mounted?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Contivity:
Did you try to wait longer? I thought mine also bootloop-ed until I remember that the wipe cache & wipe dalvik command would cause the phone to take a while to load. I waited around 10 minutes.

Did you try: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

@MishaalRahman I found that you don't have to chmod 0777 in the beginning and you don't have to use "Secure Settings".

I tested to touch the file in tasker and it created the file just fine.

In regards to Secure Settings, I added the task code -> run shell -> 'reboot recovery'
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bagarwa:
That was very educational. Thanks for the link.

Do you know what would be the path for usb-otg?? Would the command be mount usb-otg or something different?

Also, I don't see an option of backing up vendor partition. I do need to backup that, because without that, a restore causing unlocking issue. (Nexus 6P)

Lastly, does Tasker have a way to detect whether a usb drive is plugged in? I would like to add that as one of the trigeers.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Contivity:
OTG Path - I won't know and can't test right now

Tasker detect USB - you can do a file test and set the variable. then you can use that as trigger or if clause.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Mdknight:
Try using a file explorer to view the path with the usb plugged in. That's what I did to get the full path of my sd card for this to work properly. So far, so good.

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

I don't have much experience with running scripts. Is it safe to leave out the "/nwipe dalvik" part? I assume that would just skip wiping Dalvik?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Arstoien:
FYI here are my additions to the Profile:

• Instead of only Sunday, run it every day but execute the backup only if the last backup is at least 1 week old. This removes the chance of having a backup too old because you weren't home Sunday, or you weren't charging that night, etc.

• When booting (only if rebooted from the profile) enter the sim pin code, so you wouldn't miss any emergency phone calls/sms

• If next clock alarm is too soon (say closer than 3 hrs), then don't start a backup

• Log the time and date of backups to a custom log file.

• If by any chance the screen is on while Profile conditions are met, delay the backup by 15 min, so no work is accidentally lost.

If anyone's interested, I'll leave more detailed info on each of the points.

I have a brother who was using the Lenovo a6000 , and I was using moto g 2014. I use to play games using my Sony ps3 controller(game pad) via otg. But his phone did not support USB otg, I don't know what he googled but unfortunately he flashed a Samsung kernel(boot.IMG) to his phone ,and as expected he had hard brick. We tried all the flashing tools to fix it and it didnt work .we gave it to the Lenovo authentic service centre , but they said it could be fixed. But when I plug it into my PC I see 30 new devices plugged in. Some are accessible but some are not. So then I thought these are the partitions of the Lenovo a6000, I used Linux reader i could access the system partition and even saw some files which were related to the phone and saw a partition named boot{20117f86-e985-4357-b9ee-374bc1d8487d} but it couldn't be mounted. so I thought if I could access that partition and copy the ramdisk and other files of Lenovo a6000(from the boot.img ) and make it boot up. So can any one suggest me a way of fixing it or to access the boot partition.

Thanx in advance.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Snowby123:
Before you root I recommend you back up your data. Then unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all your data. Root has pros and cons. For starters, if you are on 5.0+ it's updates will fail to install. There are many to it techniques, but the easiest for me was to use the nexus root toolkit by wugfresh. Custom operating systems usually have more features, but usually more bugs as well. I own two nexus 7s. One is running 5.1.1 with the latest version of Xposed, the other has the custom ROM called VRToxin which is far more buggy but at the same time far more feature filled. If you install one, ALWAYS follow the instructions to a tee. Lastly, what I love most about root is the apps. Adaway removes ads from all apps. Titanium backup a lows me to backup all apps and there data. Root is usually safe, just be careful.
