I think this will be the last Samsung Phone for me

This update was a joke. Battery life is still ****ty. Phone stops charging randomly on wireless charger. And wifi sucks on this phone. Trying to figure out how to get rid of this heap of **** so I can get the HTC 10 that is coming out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Son Rise:
Same here very big disappointment with the S7/S7edge. Battery drains fast it heats up fast especially no root. Smh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] :
Mine is working even better on the update. Battery life is great, even when using it heavily. Seems like some are defective or some apps may be causing battery drain. To those with an issue, try factory reset I'd say, if that doesn't help, Sprint Store for warranty replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] phyba:
Same here. Never had battery life like this on a phone. Sitting at 65% after 7 hours unplugged, 2 hours screen on time and hour and half of talk time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
Do you leave Location on all the time with GPS Only? I only have bad battery life if I toggle on GPS Only. Otherwise, battery is great. All our other devices, battery doesn't drain abnormally with the GPS Only setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] :
Location by GPS, wifi and mobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] sirslipzalot:
I want to update to the latest version, but I'm terrified of not being able to unlock or root if/when the time comes that the devs finally break this device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
What's your SOT like in a 14 to 16 hour period from being off the charger?

Before the pc5 & pd3 updates, I was getting between 6 to 8 hrs with Location set to GPS Only. On pd3, same usage, I only get 4 to 5 hrs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Mine is working find after the update. Android System use has dropped from about 25% to 14-15% use. No problems at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] fireproof34:
1. WiFi tether still works after 3rd update. I made the change way march in march when i got the phone, so no updtes had been applyed yet.

2. Battery has gotten so much worse with 3rd update. only lasy 6-7 hours now and it was going 12 with room to spare before

3. had a random reboot and a few force closes after 3rd update never had either before.

4. I have turned GPS to GPS only and turned off WiFi scanning even when Wifi is Off. we will see if that makes a difference in battery. life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
For me, on the pd3 update, I get worst battery life with GPS on. I had to resort to Location Off for now.

See my crazy GPS-related wakelock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
I have an interesting development to report. On Sunday afternoon, I chatted with Sprint tech support and explained my battery drain issue as related to having GPS turned on. Told them I already performed multiple factory resets. The rep suggested that he will "remotely refresh" my device and asked me to turn off my phone.

After turning off the phone completely, he performed the "remote refresh," told me to wait for a bit, then restart the phone.

Upon restart, he asked me to do a Profile Update.

After that, he suggested I wait and give the phone some time to reconfigure itself and see if GPS causes any more issues. I turned on Location Method to GPS Only and noticed that nothing had changed. Frustrated, I turned off Location completely the rest of Sunday and all day Monday.

With Location off the entire day, my battery life on Monday was very good. No more wakelocks, no more accelerated drain.

This morning around 6 AM, when I take my phone off the charger, I turned Location on and set it to GPS+Wifi+Mobile Network.

To my surprise, I am no longer getting any GPS-related wakelocks or abnormal battery drain!!

I had my doubts that a "remote fresh" would make any difference but my phone is back to normal. According to GSam battery monitor, the battery is draining around 3% per hour. I have AOD on, Location set to GPS+Wifi+Mobile, Auto Brightness, Sync off, Bluetooth on and constantly connected to my Gear S2 smartwatch, Wifi toggled on constantly, Google Now and Now on Tap activated, and push service apps in the background (Kakaotalk, Pushbullet, AirDroid, etc).

And Android System is no longer showing any GPS usage. It says GPS = 0 seconds and Stay Awake is only 2m 53seconds.

If anyone else is experiencing GPS-related battery drains, perhaps call up Sprint and ask for a remote fresh. It seems to have worked for me.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Your screen-on time was about 40 minutes and your battery drained already to 68%? That's not good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] :
I was on the phone quite a bit, possibly it doesn't count that as "screen on" as it's up to my face and screen is off? Also I have a Gear S2 and 3 email accounts via Outlook. It typically lasts the day and then some, where my S6 Edge would not. I have 100 apps on it, as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] phyba:
I don't think this was the reset by sprint. It's already been noted in the thread to use high accuracy on location settings vs GPS only to eliminate battery drain by GPS. I have never used GPS only setting on any phone as it will use GPS at all times vs sporadically with all 3 services turned on. My battery life has gotten better since I got it 2 weeks ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
For me, it's been the other way. All of our other devices use the GPS Only option (Lollipop & Marshmallow) - Note 4 910C on 6.0.1, Sprint GS6E on 6.0.1, Sprint Note 3 on 5.0, on Nexus 5X on 6.0.1.

For instance, my Sprint GS6E on GPS Only has GPS time today of 16 seconds in the 10 hrs & 44 mins since it came off the charger. Same low stats for all the other devices when a GPS app isn't being used. It's only my Sprint GS7E that acts differently & keeps the GPS activated when set to GPS Only. The Note 4 & GS6E are Exynos and N5X is Snapdragon 808. I don't know why just my GS7E behaves differently.

For the sake of better battery life on the GS7E, I've changed to GPS+WiFi+Mobile for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
I got much better results today.

17 hrs off the charger & SOT of 4 hrs & 42 mins.

GpsLocationProvider_ex wakelock of only 3 mins & 51 seconds using the GPS+WiFi+Mobile location setting.

My settings:

-Firmware version PD3 (Sprint GS7E)

-auto brightness

-sync off

-Location = GPS+WiFi+Mobile

-WiFi & Mobile data always toggled on

-Bluetooth always on & connected to Gear S2 3G

-No power-saving mode

-Google Now & Now on Tap on

-Push apps running: Kakaotalk, Slice, Pushbullet

-140 apps installed

Before the refresh, this was the kind of crazy GPS wakelocks I was getting:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
Yes, on pd3. I finished up last night with over 6 hrs SOT.

My phone : Kyocera Brigadier. 5 Months old.

I have rooted this phone in the past but restored it to original about 3 months ago. I received a message about 4 days ago saying Google wanted to do a system update. I started the update and it appeared all was going fine. After a couple of hours I noticed the phone had rebooted but was stuck at the boot logo. Every 90 seconds it makes a buzzing noise. I cannot turn it off or on. Went to Verizon and they said I am out of luck. Need new phone as they will not do anything. Any hope here?

[Pixel C General] jackpollard:
Since release 2 of the N dev preview, I've really been pretty impressed with the stability and features, especially multi-windows. I seem to use that on a daily basis, either referencing 1 window while I do something on another window, or just 1/2 watching some vid while I do something else. The size of the Pixel C seems to work well with the multi windows, I have the feature on my 6P rom but don't use it anywhere as much.

The quick tiles and notifications are also decent. Usually the very 1st thing I do id unlock and root, but I've felt no need to do so. The apps I use have all worked, I know some folks had issues with some.

Also, the OTA install was also excellent, as easy as it gets.

How are you all liking N?
[Pixel C General] NJ72:
I'm really getting on with it, too. I think the testament to the OS is that it seems a bit more intuitive. Much like you were saying about not rooting, I don't feel the need to with the Pixel C at this point.

I also enjoy the fluidity of the OS in comparison to MM, it just seems smoother.
[Pixel C General] ghostbustaj:
Does the OTA update from stock 6.0 work?

Does it still wipe all data from the tablet?

thanks
[Pixel C General] jackpollard:
I'm wracking my brain to try and remember if it wiped my data and I just can't remember. Sorry.

Here is what I did; I signed up for the dev beta, then took the upgrade more or less like an OTA from 6.0 and it worked great! No flashing, nothing. Heck I didn't even put in a custom recovery. It took a little to download and install. I just can't remember if it asked me to restore all my apps and I said yes or it was still there.

I'm pretty sure it would say something about deleting all your data, but again I'm just not remembering. If you get it, please come back and let us know.
[Pixel C General] jackpollard:
Thats a good point about the OS being as fluid as it is, very true. I can't wait to see the release version and what if anything else is added.
[Pixel C General] jerryatherton:
The beta program wipes data completely. It is like a typical fullvwipe or in HTC terms, a RUU.
[Pixel C General] mrmuppet:
I think I didn't have a full wipe when I changed to N.

Gesendet von meinem Pixel C mit Tapatalk
[Pixel C General] YevOmega:
AFAIK the OTA doesn't wipe your data. Flashing via fastboot wipes. They also started releasing flashable zips beginning with Dev Prev 2, which also don't wipe. Idk if you can just flash that zip over Marshmallow.
[Pixel C General] kboya:
as to the OP query, I like it a lot. I'm impressed by the options and, much more so, by the stability.
[Pixel C General] Termynat0r:
I needed to revert because mtp file transfer didn't work. Also every time I connected the tablet on adb it was immediately forcefully shutdown and couldn't start until I plugged the cable.

Other than that, I didn't find an option to enable usb tether....but then again I didn't find this option in marshmallow (afterwards)...what the **** google?

Oh and mtp is also extremely unreliable back on marshmallow. I don't know what the **** they did with this tablet. I believe I will jump on the next tablet bandwagon if I happen to see one....
[Pixel C General] tfojta:
OTA to Android N is non-disruptive. The way back is.

I have many issues with Android N but cannot go back because of the full wipe.

I hoped that I will be able to use non tablet apps in the half screen mode but that does not work. I am loosing sound when disconnecting headphones. Some apps crash. You Tube cannot specify quality setting, public wifi hot spot without Internet connectivity drains battery quickly.

I regret my decision of installing Android N.
[Pixel C General] ghostbustaj:
There was way too many non compatible apps for my liking with N. Firefox would always crash, widgets wouldn't work with certain apps, I'd get random freezes, the Youtube app seemed jacked kinda, and overall...I thought the tablet seems LESS responsive. I switched back to MM.

Dude, all you have to do is back up all your data to Google (you can enable it in the Backup & Restore) Drive. When you opt out of the Beta it sends you an OTA file for MM. When it uninstalls N and reinstalls MM it literally finds the fact that you reset your tablet back to MM and re-installs everything for you. It worked flawlessly for me last night. Wasn't a pain in the butt in the slightest.
[Pixel C General] tfojta:
Actually at the end I reverted back to Android. You are right that all apps are automatically reinstalled however they are not configured, and you loose any local data.
[Pixel C General] Rolldog:
I'm running Android N and want to use Smart Lock, but whenever I try setting Smart Lock or a trusted device, location, etc, it says I can't utilize Smart Lock because my device is encrypted. I've never setup encryption, and I can't remove encryption either. I can't even activate OK Google from any screen, and it's all because of the encryption. Is this a mandatory feature of Android N?
[Pixel C General] kalinskym:
Has anyone got OK Google to work on all screens and lockscreen?
[Pixel C General] Doughnut:
Google N is good but this is a preview issue so there's a fair few bugs within, e.g. YouTube crashing, low benchmark scores, dual screen having limited functionality and random error codes when opening apps.

I've reverted to MM and the process was super simple.

I'll wait for the third iteration and see if that irons out these issues, but N is very promising and I feel it'll really help release the potential of this tablet.
[Pixel C General] LifeOfNexus:
I just ordered my tablet and it shipped today. I was wondering if it is worth updating to Android N right away or stick with marshmallow
[Pixel C General] Xperia U Lover:
Stick with mm if u seek stability
[Pixel C General] chipxtreme:
I'm enjoying it but where is the May stability update?
[Pixel C General] henryimler:
It worked well for me. Only real problem I had was app compatibility. Use it as a media device, so HBO GO, Hulu, TNT, etc crashing on me led me to revert. Can't wait for N to be finalized and apps to be made compatible with split screen.
[Pixel C General] timothydonohue:
haven't updated to N because i don't want to lose key things like xposed. has anyone gotten xposed working on N? even more importantly, are people keeping root access with N? obviously there isn't a custom kernel yet....

i'm really wishing this tablet was more popular with devs, so that these sort of things were maintained. i'm afraid this tablet is going to be completely ignored. i should have looked into that before buying it, as customizing my android devices is key.

i'm just glad that at least i have root and xposed on it, as it is. not losing what little handhold i have.
[Pixel C General] vineet381:
Sorry to ask, how did u get the xposed working. Can u point me to thread on how to root, install custom recovery and install xposed on 6.0.

Thanks
[Pixel C General] timothydonohue:
there is a big thread, can't remember if it is stickied, that is either in the general or one of the development forums (for pixel c) that pretty much gives a step-by-step. it's pretty standard fair, for a nexus type device.

essentially, you have to use adb and fastboot commands to flash a new recovery (there is a twrp install thread around here somewhere, with the version you need included), then you flash the xceed kernel in twrp. somewhere around here is the xposed version that you put over the xceed kernel. not all modules work, but the ones i use most do (youtube adaway, gravity box (mostly, not completely).

i can't remember whether you need to install superuser via adb or twrp.

Post #7 I do havw an external Pixel C keyboard with a ch-de keymap. Unfortunately with Android N it's recognized as an en-us keyboard. Hence the keymap is wrong and cannot be changed

[Pixel C General] haggle.123:
Hey Guys, what is the easiest way to update to N with a unlocked bootloader and rooted, since OTA will not work? I dont mind losing all my data.
[Pixel C General] dmnhnterz:
I can't verify this but the best way I believe would be to:

1. Install latest factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions

2. Enroll in the Android beta program here: https://www.google.com/android/beta?u=0

3. This should give OTA update to N.

4. After it's finished updating, you can unenroll and it won't delete your data since it's no longer in beta.

I did this on my Nexus 5X but it wasn't unlocked or rooted.

Edit: I should probably mention that this will wipe your data if you relock your bootloader.
[Pixel C General] Magnesus:
It works great. One thing that I don't like is that sites in Chrome have very small text when I squish the browser to a thin column when running as a second app on screen.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critofur:
Want apps to require "permission" to run in background/wakeup/notify (off by default)

Hello, I don't understand why this hasn't simply been included in Android from the beginning, but rather than changing the "Developer Options" setting "Don't keep activities" to on, why can't I require apps that I install to need permission before they can stay on in the background when I exit them?

I understand that leaving them in the background means they can load up quicker next time, but I want the default behavior of apps to be that they can't run in the background, don't "phone home" and don't generate notifications unless I specifically change that behavior to be on.

It is so extremely frustrating that Android doesn't come this way out of the box, and I know I could use Greenify, but I've heard so many people say they don't like Greenify, or it causes problems?

Why can't we just make it so Apps have to ask first, before they're allowed to run at startup, or run like a service in the background, rather than make users simply accept that they will do so as a condition of installing them, because that's how the developer wants it?

Any app like Facebook, or a game, should have to popup a dialog and be given permission from the user, before it can sit in the background checking for updates, or popping up notifications. The setting should also need an additional permission granted to do so while the screen is off.

We shouldn't have to root our phones and install Xposed to download modules from un "trusted" sources just to stop third party apps from draining our battery when our phones are in our pockets. It should be a simple thing, easy for the average user, to know that when the screen is off and the phone is put away that it's using minimal battery and the ONLY things that will wakeup the phone are calls/messages/things that the user deems as important enough to do so.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critofur:
"Inactive Apps"

Wow - it looks like my prayers were partially answered already and I just didn't know yet.

The Developer Options "Inactive Apps" looks like it partially addresses my concerns about how difficult it is for users to have control over what runs in the background on their own devices.

Now all that's missing is finer control - I'd like to use Google Now and let Google ping my location occasionally, just not while the screen is off and the phone is running on battery. I'm not quite up to the task of using Tasker to make it so.

I wonder, should I still try using Servicely and/or Amplify in Android 6.0.1? it seems like Inactive Apps has pretty much obsoleted Greenify?
