Verizon note here and im getting amazing battery life, im currently at 15 hours with 6.5 hours screen on time and still have 20% left, ive gotten almost 9 hours screen time with this device
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
Any power saving options used?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] bayniner:
No, all i did was do a factory reset as soon as i got the device
[Note 7 Real Life Review] LateForDinner:
How does one change or even find this setting? I just got through looking and couldn't find it. Any help?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
Settings -> Connections -> Location to get to this screen and change it.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] LateForDinner:
Thank you! Didn't realize location had to be on in order to see... :)
[Note 7 Real Life Review] mankvl:
Screenshot please and did you do factory reset through recovery or settings?

6 hours SOT with a total life of 37 hours, 100% to 3%, LOTS of stuff disabled, no AOD, no edge 'features', i dont use facebook so disabled and LOTS of other stuff disabled/set to sync on charge only, grennify, etc.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] cbizz:
Nice, I can barely get 4.5 SoT. How'd you achieve this?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] joe.sebin:
Nothing i did for that.. as normal usage.. all the time pared with my gear s2 too.. only wifi no 4g.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Gilley:
Yeah i'm lucky to get 4-5.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] neftalica:
Hi guys,

I don't know if this SOT its normal. I have almost everything disabled with package disabler pro(bluetooth, bluetooth le, wifi scan, sync, location services, all bloatware, vr services, fb, etc). The only app that I have installed it's instagram and all push notifications were turned off.

So, what do you think?

Should I wait, do something or exchange it (I bought it on this past saturday)

Thanks

*** I'm using T-mobile variant***
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
That's a high WhatsApp usage. Also looks like you spend a lot of time on the phone. Looking at that, your usage doesn't look that bad. I would check location settings. And I don't think disabling packages is a good idea. There is no evidence that it helps much. It might even have negative effect.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] neftalica:
Yes but i refer to the on screen time. The battery level goes down really fast once i turn on the screen. Like 12% in less than 20 minutes just looking at the gallery pictures.

Current level 34% I didn't play any games, just 57 minutes browsing, 15 on instagram... I really dont know what to think
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
what screen on time you get on 4g
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Andr3w_95:
If I turn off sync will I still get my Twitter notifications?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
Sorry, but what you saying doesn't really give us the complete picture, especially when seeing your screenshots. You are reporting high "screen on" usage, but you have 3h 10m (190m) of screen time and still on 37% battery with around 9h already on. That is bloody good seeing what else is going on in your phone. Looks like you are a heavy user, and probably should look at some options to top-up the juice to get you through to bed time.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] gambaa:
Looks like a huge fail on Samsung part. I will go with s7 edge exynos
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
why is screen on time is half on 4g compared to wifi
[Note 7 Real Life Review] CGYCGY:
Better than what I thought.... Not the best but acceptable
[Note 7 Real Life Review] gyxter:
Getting bad battery life :(
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
What screen on time you get on 4G
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
Couple of weeks old now, phone is starting to get some serious battery time. Very busy at work last couple of days, the phone went without a charge for full 36 hours and with about 4.5h of screen on time. WiFi/4G about 50:50 time. Exynos version (AUS).

...and I have to return it now :(
[Note 7 Real Life Review] pr0cl1v1ty:
I must be retarded, but I for the life on me can not find this screen on time option...where is it lol?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] doc_loco:
I was always getting about 2-3 hours screen on time with my Nexus 6p and with my note & today I purely used the S pen and watched videos & my screen on time increased by a lot. It seems as though my usage style with a lot of interaction witn my device using my finger drastically reduces screen on time. This reinforces that SOT isn't a true metric for battery life.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] bayniner:
Getting amazing battery life ive gotten 7.5 hours of screen on time with still 18% battery left all on 4G
[Note 7 Real Life Review] bayniner:
Sure here u go
[Note 7 Real Life Review] millicent:
What note model is that?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] bayniner:
Its the verizon model
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Chyeo1979:
Can get more screen on time with heavier usage rather than small intermittent usage where you keep turning the screen on and off.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] squall_kay:
That's amazing man. I only able to get 5-6hrs with 80% LTE usage. If using 80% Wifi between 6-7hrs.

I'm using Exynos Note7.

Compared to my previous S7E, this note7 short by roughly 1hr of battery life.

I think it depends on what kind of apps installed and used.

Anyway, your batter life iss great!
[Note 7 Real Life Review] KaidM:
Getting great battery use. No complaints here :)
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Gilley:
I get the same amount I did with my year old Nexus 6P

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

You disable any apps or have any secrets on how to achieve this lol I'm hitting 3-4 SOT
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Geffa Oliveira:
How?

Please tell me, what settings you use to get 7 hours SOT??? Are you on airplane mode with wifi only, no GPS, 720p, limit processor, no sync, no background apps? I can't get this even with the mid settings energy savings.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] ronattack:
why does this phone vary so much with battery life? how is it not consistent? it seems you either get 3 hours SOT or 6-7. that's such bs. even if the processors are different, how is this even acceptable?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] situman:
Why is screen on time such a good battery life indicator? What if you are streaming music, podcast or downloading stuff? You're screen is off no? Do people only use their phones to stare at the screen and use that as the gospel of battery life indicator? Why wouldn't you must measure off charger to back on charger time over a week's usage?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] mankvl:
What? SOT is the most important thing... If you always use your phone 5-6 hours a day. U need such SOT... if you get only 3 you will need a 1 charge a day :) For my 5-6 SOT is all I need. Still amazed some ppl get even 7-10 hours SOT.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] situman:
I can get 7 hrs too if I lower the brightness to zero. For me 100% off charger at 7am and 25% back on charger a little before midnight with auto brightness at 50% all services running downloading stuff, reading stuff, watching stuff, texts, email, messaging and etc. Now thats actual usage and measurement.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] mankvl:
No one is using SB at 0% some ppl like auto some ppl like 20% max to get even more SOT.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] hoosdathu:
using the phone while charging at the same time was precisely the cause of battery bloat in my samsung note 4 :crying:

have since sold it off after finding the zerolemon 10000mAh monster battery too big for daily usage, even though battery life was imba :cool:

first battery cycle i still remembered i started at ard 6.30pm on Mon, the battery finally died on Fri morning slightly before 11am, with varying usage from sparse to heavy usage on different days. can't remember total screen on time but it was definitely > 12hrs :laugh:

am using leagoo shark 1 (6300mAh) as main phone now, with innos D6000 (6000mAh) as spare.

---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------

wow, that's amazing!

what apps have u got?

what apps and settings do u use to limit battery drain/usage?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Cycloneon:
I don't know how these phone reviewers on youtube say they are able to achieve more than 5-6 hours of SOT of heavy/aggressive usage (on any flagship phone). I'm always struggling to reach 4 hours of regular SOT

So far I have been able to achieve 17 hours since last charge, 3hr 15min of SOT at 18%
[Note 7 Real Life Review] damponting44:
20 hours 30minutes on telephone charged 100percent at 1 am it's presently 908pm 23 percent battery left. 4hourd 43 minutes lush I'm awed.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Cycloneon:
Now that I think about it. I realized that I have been starting to care less and less about screen on time. Just give me a phone that can last me all day.

Standby time is 10x more important for me than achieving 4+ hours of SOT
[Note 7 Real Life Review] imucarmen:
I got over 8 Hours SOT today with no super low brightness, no power saving modes, sync on, gps on, I think you guys all got broken phones :D

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 Note 7's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

[Note 7 Real Life Review] hkbladelawhk:
It's okay. Though I lose a lot of life way too fast and find myself on a charger 2-3 times a day with sync and mobile data on.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Davexs28:
Draining at 2-4% per hour and I'm not thrilled about that. Its largely due to the Android System and OS, whichever one of the hundreds of processes which fall under that category may be the actual cause I do not know since Androids battery reporting is next to useless. Also Always on Display seems to preventing the phone from dozing. Or at least aggressive dozing with Greenify. As soon as I turn it on, it no longer dozes quickly or seemingly at all.

Edit: Im assuming its the infamous NlpWakelock bug/feature causing the Android system drain.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] wolftank:
Took my Note 7 off of the wireless charger last night when it reached 100% and it was at 76% when I woke up (7-8 hours later). Assuming the higher end of that range, it drained roughly 3% per hour. I believe I have AOD scheduled to turn off nightly from 1 AM to 7AM, but I'll have to check on this again later as it is staying home until its case arrives.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Corbitt74:
Seems it varies. I took mine off the charger at midnight and when I woke up at 630 only lost 2 %. Best so far seems to be getting better.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] thanhhungtn1:
In the beginning it had battery drains issue, but now after 1 week use it I see the battery life improved a lot.

I think it's because of the new processor technology of Samsung it will learn how to do the flips and optimise the calculation next time.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] angka8:
It drains 8 to 10 percent from 1 am to 7am. Really bad. Not sure whether doze kicks in. My z5p drain 2 percent .
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Corbitt74:
Do you have anything disabled? I ask cause I'm testing mine. I had stuff disabled before. And was losing about 6 to7% in the same time frame. Now I re enabled everything and losing 2 to 3. So not sure what up with what yet.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] hkbladelawhk:
So Looks like today, with Minimal brightness, 26 mins screen time, location and wifi. Battery has died a TON in 2.5 hours.

[Note 7 Real Life Review] masaforce:
Team Z5P strong :cool:
[Note 7 Real Life Review] RnacidRichard:
I was losing about 3-4 percent per hour when the phone was unused. I tracked it down to something wifi related because I would disable and it would drop to 1% each hour. After some trial and error, I made the following changes and I've been at 1% battery loss per hour with wifi on.

Settings changed:

"Keep wifi on during sleep" -Changed from "On" to "While Charging"

"Network notification" -Changed from "On" to "Off"

"Wifi calling" -Changed from "Wifi Preferred" to "Cellular Preferred"

I would assume the first setting is what mattered the most for battery savings. I don't know why it was on by default. This is on a T-Mobile phone.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Andr3w_95:
Where do you find the second and third options?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Ishmael19:
I tested mine last night, and I'm quite pleased with the results. Over a 9.5 hour period, my Note 7 drained from 100% to 91%, or approximately 1% per hour. Some key facts:

I am using the Verizon version, unrooted

The phone was connected to WiFi all night, with about 3 bars of cell signal

I had no 'battery savings' mode enabled, and no 'do not disturb' modes enabled

I use Nova Launcher

I had AOD enabled the entire time

I have the Play Store set to auto-update

I have the Dark Sky weather widget running

I did not clear RAM, I just hit the "Close all" button in the app switcher

I used Package Disabler Pro to disable a lot of bloatware

I do NOT have Facebook installed, but I do have a number of other popular social media apps installed

Here are my stats:

Always On Display on - 1% per hour, off - 1% per 2 hours.

Wifi on, cellular signal good, nfc on, Bluetooth on and connected to a smartwatch, only Google services and weather widget allowed to refresh/push notifications.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] nuclearrage:
disabled some apps in the app menu , AoD always on , bluetooth always on , wifi always on , facebook and yadda yadda and seems like it sips the juice while I dont touch it. Yesterday was quite busy at work , off charger at 6am and was still at 70% at 10 pm . So i am quite happy with it.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] nabbed:
What was the screen on time?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Itchiee:
Mine must pass out with me... It usually like 3% tops I lose overnight.

- No AOD after 10pm, and WiFi goes to sleep after non use.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] nuclearrage:
I think close to 2 hours, was a day I was too busy to be using the phone except for calls on the Bluetooth but the phone screen doesn't turn on for that.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] nabbed:
Let's see:

2 hours screen on time +

multiple phone calls +

16 hours of AoD time.

I was going to comment about how 30% per 16 hours was double of what I was getting, so you shouldn't have been very happy... But then you go ahead and do this, and totally redeem yourself! :)

Here's my estimation:

2 hours of screen on time = 120 minutes/4 = 30% battery.

multiple phone calls = same as screen on time, so divide the number of minutes by 4.

16 hours of AoD time = 16%.

Total = 46%+ battery.

Do you have some kind of a magical Note 7 Samsung only prototyping to select few aliens of planet Earth?

Or are you going to amend your story?

:)
[Note 7 Real Life Review] spamsuxx:
Hej all,

I was also curious about the battery drain and just checked the drain with S-View Cover attached, Always on Display on, once with WIFI on during sleep and once with WIFI of during sleep.

The average drain per hour was always ~1.25% no matter if WIFI was on during sleep or not or if the phone was connected vie bluetooth to my headset in my office.

See attached screenshots. You can easily spot which one had "WIFI on during sleep" enabled.

Cheers
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Mr_Slick107:
I haven't changed anything on my phone. I'm the kind of guy that just grabs the phone and go. No modifications. I charge mine before I go to bed to 100%. Doesn't heat up too bad. I sleep from 2200 to 0500 and I usually lose 1-2 % during that time period
[Note 7 Real Life Review] EarlZ:
lately my standby drain has is very erractic at times I only lose 1% per 2hrs or sometimes 4%
[Note 7 Real Life Review] hoaivu1508:
You need to check what packages and services are running in background. If you don't need it, disable it. There is a tool on Google Play, it named "BK Package Disabler Samsung", It have "running packages filter" and "running services filter" function. Hope this help!

I by the time my phone hit 50%, I dropped the resolution to the mid point, dropped the screen brightness to 80%.

By 10:30pm when I was at hone in bed and put it on my wireless dock it was down to 18%
