[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] ctbear:
I use my phone on the bus, during lunch and casually on the couch when I'm at home. I wouldn't say I am on my phone constantly.

From my experience the biggest battery issue about Android is always idle drain. Doze helps a lot but you really need to get rid of apps that drain unnecessarily, or apps that maintain calls to Google Play service frequently. Social network apps are really bad at this, which is why I make an effort to use their web apps as much as I can.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] jdubya42:
That's my thing. The only "social media" app I use is Instagram. I try really hard to have good battery life and my phone has really negligible idle drain. I think I just don't actually use it enough to see those SOT numbers.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] varun.gid:
for an average medium user, i think the phone will give 3-4 hrs SOT over 36 to 40 hours of usage easily.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] milesg:
I'm seeing a minimum of 3 hours SOT over 28-36 hours of mixed use on a regular Pixel (browsing, phone calls, Google Inbox, camera, some Facebook, some texting). I'm usually connected to Wi-Fi and a good 4G signal.

Had the Pixel for a week and even the first 24hrs (with lots of extra playing around + downloading all my apps) saw around 3.5 hours of SOT. This compares favourably with my previous Z5C (smaller, lower resolution, display).
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] fitchpuckman:
I have the Pixel and I'm overly satisfied with it. Yes, it's pricey, but it's premium. In all honesty, all of these flagships could be cheaper (iPhone, S7, HTC10, etc), so i don't consider the price a negative. I personally love the minimal, straightforward industrial design. People say it looks like an iphone, mostly because that's what they are familiar with, but it just looks like most standard smartphones from the front. Personally, I think it far more reflects the HTC phones of today and before (they've been doing aluminum on the flagships longer than anyone), and is EXTREMELY well built. Regardless of how complex or not you fell the design to be, it's done very well. Otherwise, it's spec-ed as-well-or-better than any other device. Top notch SoC, camera, etc.

Hardware aside, the software is really the strength. I wont go into every nuance, but it just *feels* like a very complete package. Google has been very careful to tie up many of the loose ends that existed on the Nexus phones, and it has a very nice fit and finish to the UI and UX. The camera software is stellar, assistant is nice, the app drawer is much more cleverly handled than before, notifications menu and quick toggles are spot-on and well refined, and Google continues to deliver the ability to customize without burying settings or complexities into the system. my recent (albeit limited) experiences tinkering with iPhones has really left me wanting more from the UI. It used to "just work" but the menus and UI (aside from the main screen) i feel to be dated, overly-layered, and too confusing. App-level permissioning continues to be great....oh, and the camera...man, the camera. yes, a lot of it comes in post-processing the raw file (HDR+, for example), but it's undeniably awesome. I've accidentally taken pictures that turned out better than my most care constructs on past phones. Vlad has some things to say about that here. Anyway, i wont keep rambling, and could answer specific questions if you're interested.

tl;dr - get it. it's awesome, hardware is awesome and executed well, software is top-notch, phone is blazingly fast, i get 5hrs SOT easily in a single day usage (could stretch multiple days and still pull 3-4hrs), and camera is as good/better than anything out there.

disclaimer - i dont game on my phone so can't speak much to that type of performance.

cheers!

Battery

Thank you for the info above, my number one question is how is battery life. As a business person

syncing email/calendars, numerous calls, youtubing, web browsing, and texting. When I unplug at 6 am will I last until 9 pm or will I have to worry, This is my number one question for ALL.

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I personally went with the Pixel over the Pixel XL after using the Nexus 6P and OnePlus 3 for the past 12 months. I wanted something with a smaller size for one handed use. So far, I have not been disappointed in the least bit.

I have my own consulting business and use 3 different emails for contact with various clients and 1 personal email address. 2 of these are exchange and 2 are Google accounts. With roughly 20 emails coming in/out per day, 1-2 client calls per day (each one lasting between 30 and 60 minutes), moderate texting and app usage, I've had absolutely no issues with the battery. I usually take about 20 minutes to charge my phone to full as soon as I get into my home office around 7AM each morning. From there it lasts me throughout the day/night with no issues. When I go to plug the phone in each morning it usually has about 25% - 35% battery remaining.

Dear Forum Members,

First off all, let me introduce myself, I am very fresh owner of that beautifull joy - HTC Kaiser, which I suppose may become a thing I was looking (unsuccessfully) for. I used Nokia Communicators for a long time, but missed some applications.

I am happy with the device, but have several problems with the default software inside. First of all during one month, three times my device rebooted and said that I have to upload EVERYTHING from the scratch and had no backup... Second, my device communicates through Bluetooth to sync the data with my computer but I am unable to use it as an access device to the internet via radio. I have to plug the USB cabel in to do so. Familiar people said I have to upgrade the software and it should solve all my problems.

As here in Poland our GSM operators have really poor support for its users I am unable to find ANY information about upgrading my devide. I went through your posts, but still have no idea where to start. Will each software work with my operator?

Would be great if someone could help me with choosing right piece of software or just giving some ideas where to start to learn myself.

Regards,

Wojciech

re flash help need

long story short tried to root my at&t varient s7 edge and ended up breaking my phone and there are tons of random little things wrong with my firmware and every time i try to reflash it, it fails and i have the right firmware files it wont flash thow can someone pls help me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sherb:
I'm not too sure where to start. The S7 Edge on rogers is my first android phone(minus the note 7), and it's been a long time since I've tinkered with anything but a default OS. Last time I was installing custom roms it was on a HTC TYTN. I know I have a lot to learn before I attempt anything, but I'm having a tough time finding the information. Is there a "safe" as in wont damage the phone way to root? Is there a way to put it back to stock if i need to have warranty work done? If both of those criteria can be met I think I'm interested in doing some reading on the root process. I'm just not sure where to start. The main reason i want to root is for ad blocking, but I'm sure as I read up on the topic i'll find other things i'm interested in.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beowulf_pt:
I'm getting a G935FD (S7 Edge, Exynos, dual SIM Asian version) here in Europe, mostly due to a huge price difference. Heard the updates are coming out slow for these models, so can anyone confirm that a ROM from any S7 Edge can be flashed with no issues?

I'm thinking of Samsung ROMs only, so no Knox-tripping and updates still working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] almizilero:
Backup

Hi, I would like to try several ROMs, but I hate having to set up the phone again and again. i use Titanium for the apps, which is great, but it still takes a lot of time to go through all the settings and the setup of the edge screens.

Can those be backed up and restored in any way, too? Especially the edge panel settings would be a big help.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Diddleslip:
S7 Bricked

I recently (successfully?) rooted my phone, but couldn't make phone calls or texts so I tried factory resetting it. The factory reset worked but I still had the root and I couldnt make calls or texts, so I tried multiple times to unroot it through Odin and it said it worked on my last attempt, but now my phone is stuck on a black screen and a blue LED pops up. I get no vibrations or feedback from my phone. I've tried all the combos to reset, down home power, down power, power home up, home power, all of them. My only hope is to let the phone die of power and recharge it and see if it will work. Does anyone have any ideas? When I plug it in to my computer it wont detect it either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] manfstedmasqrade:
[/COLOR]

Did you try flashing official firmware onto your device thru Odin to get rid of root? Oh wait, computer won't detect your device....I guess that won't work. Do u have snapdragon or exynos s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] manfstedmasqrade:
I have an international s7 edge g935f rooted. After root I noticed that Google play movies won't load any movies. If I go to netflix, the movies work. I saw a post about removing a file in system/vendor/lib but I think it was for earlier phones and earlier software. I can't find that same file on the s7 edge. So I was just wondering if anyone had or has a fix for this because I have been searching for a few days now and can't find any other threads on this issue. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] manfstedmasqrade:
Problem solved, unrooted. That was the problem, thanks for nothing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sleak Ghost:
I have this problem on my S7 edge after I did the auto-root, my recovery resets everytime and I can't make system changes I think this is because of the Samsung write protection is there any way to disable this write protection I tried mounting inside TWRP and also mounting with Root Browser but nothing happend

Its a s7e unlocked TPA Pamama

Question regarding root & warranty:

If I root, I lose warranty. But does this mean that they will also refuse any hardware repairs? Like for example, if my display has problems or my home button doesn't work anymore (i.e. hardware problems not related to software/root).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] error666:
I have a stock t-mobile s7 edge device. It's losing the mobile network. I've noticed it a couple of months ago - it happened a few times but recently the problem is getting worse. It already happened 3 times this week.

Seems like completely random. Sometimes I notice it after I go somewhere with weak signal or no signal at all. Sometimes when I get back to an area with good signal it reconnects and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it shows the bars and says it's connected to t-mobile but 4g doesn't show up at all. So you can call but no internet. Sometimes no signal at all.

When it happens the only way to connect is to reboot the phone. Nothing else helps. If you try to connect to network manually - it can find t-mobile but unable to connect. just spins. Changing from lte to 3g or 2g also doesn't work.

I even tried to create a new APN - same thing.

Please heeeeelp...........
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadowjump:
Last time this happened to me on another device, it was the sim card that had a problem. Have you tried with another SIM card?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] error666:
No, but I don't believe it's a sim card related problem. Wife's phone has the same problem although less frequently. But she also travels less.

It looks like a configuration / firmware or maybe hardware issue to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] laureanop:
I'm experiencing the same issue. It seems to happen when the phone loses signal completely like when deep inside a building. Then it won't reconnect to data or the network by itself.

From the first moment when I got my edge back in April I noticed that the radio performance was weaker than other phones. Then I got the Note 7 and same issue again. Then back to an s7 edge and the problem seems to be worse on this one specially after the latest software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dismaljester:
My wife (s7) and me (s7 edge), as well as a co-worker (s7) are having this same issue.

Before it was happening occasionally, but after the last update its happening WAY more often.

Wiping cache seems to help with frequency, but still did not eliminate the problem. Hopefully it gets fixed with an update. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to put up with it.

Edit: I forgot to add a "simple" fix I've found that works almost all the time is to turn off mobile data, turn on airplane mode, turn off airplane mode, wait for signal, then turn on mobile data. Those steps in that exact order work for me most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flawdaboi:
So I've been having the same issues as everyone stated. The only fix is to reboot the phone, but who wants to that every time. I even changed the sim card!! I wish T-Mobile would get out of their feelings and start selling more flagship phones.

I have made the decision to jump to LG V20. I hope this issue doesn't exist with the LG.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rowbaggie22:
I've just got my s7 edge and I'm sort of having same problem at home got 2 bars and sometimes goes to 4 bars but also wen I called someone the line was crackling but person said could her me fine so done a wiped cache and think it's sorted it now for the time being

(Edit ~ it's done it again could hardly hear person I was talking to)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayanak69:
I have flashed the UX Beta 3(grace UI) for like 3 months and now when I compare my Note 5 with another. There's a huge difference in photo quality. It's clearly visible in the camera viewfinder itself. The photos are grainy and wayy washed out and so much noice in them.

Is there any solution to this ? Cuz I'm really dependent on my camera. Can I reflash just the camera app from the original stock firmware?

Or shud I just reflash the stock all over ? (If yes. Can I dirty flash just my data from backup?)

Any help would be really appreciated. Right now I'm in alot of trouble:( Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nehuen:
Hello, i live in a relatively small town where my service provider has very poor 4G signal. but pretty good 3G signal. With the Axon 7 i have a lot of signal problems that i didnt have with any of my previous phones, where outdoor signal is pretty bad and indoor signal is almost unusable. It also connects almost exclusively to 4G, and in contrast all of my previous phones connected almost exclusively to 3G. Over the last weekend i traveled to a major city where my service provider has very strong 4G signal, and the signal problem was almost non existant. I even had signal in places where other people with the same service provider did not. So my theory is the following, assuming that the hardware (antenna) used for 4G and 3G is the same, it may not be a hardware problem, but a problem with the software having a hard time knowing which band/signal it should connect to. It seems that in my case it prioritizes 4G signal and the cost of a VERY unstable cellphone service. This is also assosiated with the fact that when it connects to 3G (incredibly rare), the phone goes inmediately from 1/2 bars to 4/5 bars. I also changed the SIM configuration to leave LTE out, but either for a visual bug or a software bug, it keeps connecting only to 4G. So could this be the problem that me and a lot of people in low 4G signal zones are having? Is there anyway i can force the phone to connect exclusivly to the 3G signal to test if that is indeed the problem?

Regards!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tabletalker7:
Without knowing which model Axon 7 you are using, where you are using it, and who your provider is, there is little anyone can do to help you. All I can say is that it helped me A LOT to go into settings and turn off

VoLTE.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nehuen:
U model last update, using it from Argentina, and the provider is Claro. I have LTE disabled in SIM confg as i already said and VoLTE turn of as well but the phone keeps connecting to 4G no matter what i do, even if i configure it to only GSM

I don't think its a matter of position or provider (version could be if different software is provided), but a general issue with the phone and band/signal interpretation coupled with the apparent innability to go off 4G

Refards!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tabletalker7:
ok when it connects to LTE it says "4G LTE". The 4G that you are getting is probably HSPA or something. And we had someone on here a few months back using Claro in Argentina and they had to seek answers from their Claro
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nehuen:
If "4G LTE" is 4G and "4G" is HSPA, when only a "G" appears, what band am i connecting too? Its still pretty weird that im having major signal issues in my town, but when i go to a big city my signal is even better than other phones, it seems inconsistent with the whole "bad hardware" theory. I talked to Claro and it seemed like from their end it was a non issue, can you point me to the thread to see if he got it fixed somehow?

Regards!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
/Trolling a bit/

I'm always LMAO when I hear US people talking about that 4G scam (which is H+ for real btw)

G is for 2G

E is for 2G+

3G is 3G

H is 3G+

H+ is 3G++ (an intermediary protocol up to 42MBps)

4G is LTE (up to 150Mbps in the EU most of the time)

4G+ is LTE-A (which is available in most of the EU, SK & JP) - up to 600Mbps, 200MBps in most tests

I've not heard of an app that could modify the way the phone "clings" to 4G LTE, since that might likely be the modem firmware doing it on its own.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nehuen:
Then this is even weirder, because is G is not 3G, but 2G it means that the phone NEVER connects to the major band that all of my previous phones and Claro users connect to. Is there anyway to force to only connect to 3G?

Regards!
