No, that is off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] heblu:
1, 2 and 3 Yes, yes and yes :)

Via external storage I had a backup on my SD card, then I restored after flashing

All went smooth

It backups all: account and apps. But I had to do a separate backup only for whatsapp

Use latest odin!!

Enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
Did you do a fresh install?

Restore or manual install apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] flanker22:
3) i've restored an s6 and s7 with smart switch and both times they did not backup/restore the app data. i've done a backup/restore to external storage and backup to pc. what i think may be happening is that people are thinking that its being backed up because google has some half ass backup thing integrated into some apps (depends on app developer's integration) or some apps just have all the stuff saved on their servers like many online games or streaming services.

however i think the samsung cloud thing may properly back up app data i havent tried it yet however.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Thanks for the comparison, I also flashed the N beta and I have the feeling pictures in darker environments (evenings inside, at night/late outside) are worse... They seem to be way more reddish/purple-ish (perhaps related to the suggested overexposion). Could you perhaps check that situation as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] heblu:
Also for [MENTION=3373125]r.albu[/MENTION]

Not my case, I did not use Samsung cloud nor google, only smart switch

It has an option at the beginning to backup all data, contacts etc. You can select whatever you want from there

My backup from sd card has 3GB, you can be sure that it backups data :)

First is MM and second N

I think second is much worse. Both are iso 50 locked and 10sec with tripod
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBRR1:
No problem. I'll take some more pics today in different conditions. This is maybe the only serious issue I've found on N Beta, appart from graphic glitches here and there.

I wonder if G935F N Beta has the same issues...most likely it does.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Much appreciated :)

But yeah, overall I do really love N and the beta is already so decent. (One thing I read about and now also saw was not being to install offline language packs for google translate, gives an error. Unmounting the external-sd and installing the packs (and the remounting) is a workaround though so that's no real dealbreaker.

But other then that it's very smooth, love the looks, battery is at least the same imo so hardly any reasons to go back (apart from perhaps the camera, and the lack of themes ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] deucecorp:
HUGE battery drain! :(

Guys, think twice before trying this beta as your daily driver! (and say NO after thinking and reading...)

I took off my S7 from USB charging 100% at midnight (I love USB charging because slow charge & much slower discharging), by the morning I woke up at 8AM it was already on 74%. Android system/System Idle processes are the culprit for this 24%. 0% for screen of course as I was sleeping. Wifi was on (router is in the same room) GPS was off, always on display was off too.

This is a nonsense ridiculous joke!

This beta firmware never goes to deep sleep and all the wakelocks are there.. While I have all possible system/Samsung bloatware apps disabled and I have only 4-5 extra apps like fb messenger and cpu-z..

So by using this software I leave the house at 70% and by lunch break at work (now around 12PM) I'm already at around 50% and I HAVE NOT USED MY PHONE AT ALL just checked e-mails for some minutes. Compared to my G3 I left the house at 100-98%, night discharge was close to zero and finished at work around 5-6PM with battery percentage around 70% while bluetooth music+gaming+web browsing+emails+messenger through the whole day with at least 1.5 hours of SOT.. Yes, G3 had a custom tuned kernel etc.. But even by using any stock LG fw I could finish the day around 40-60%..

I can confirm this S7 beta seems to be running really smooth and no bothering bugs, so I'd be very happy with it. However the lot worse camera quality and this huge battery drain renders this phone a completely garbage and makes me tied to charging cables.

Now I don't even dare to flash back the stock 6.0.1 because what if I trigger KNOX like all other guys had in this thread (this is another huge joke because no bootloader/kernel messing happens) so that will void warranty and instantly half the price value of my device..

I'm not impressed at all. Maybe I sell this ASAP and buy 2 pieces of OP3 or ANY Xiaomi/Huawei/chinaphone for the price, because I never wanted to root this £500 S7, but happy to play around, root and polish myself any £150-250 cheap stupid phone while they will also come with a much better 16-21mpx camera and a 4000+ mAh battery is very likely too...

Much dissapointed............ :eek:

[IMG="drain"]https://s14.postimg.org/tyglkb9ap/Screenshot_20161117_124708.png[/IMG]

You can see, I even charged a little bit at 8AM and charging right now.. Without these I'd be well below 50% by now. While only used the phone around 11AM for like 30 minutes all other time screen was off. This is pathetic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBRR1:
I have the same overall opinion, I don't think I'll be going back to MM for now.

On the down side, I think some features are missing on this build. I've been trying to find Smart Lock, My Places, and some other options with no luck. I remember seeing the Smart Lock after first boot but I can't find it now. A lot of options are buried deep on the settings menu when on MM they were accesible quite easy, like Battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Smartlock (and in there Trusted Places, dunno if that is what you meant with My Places?):

Settings --> Lock screen and Security --> Secure Lock Settings --> Smart Lock

Something realy wrong with your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
I guess so this beta is not for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] deucecorp:
What can be so "realy" wrong about it? It's a 2 weeks old phone, with 1 week old software. There is no phone on planet Earth should perform like this 3-4% drain/hour when it's not used. I have a 3 years old LG G2 around too, the battery lasts 2 WEEKS (!) without a sim card inserted and screen off.

I still don't know what to do. For 1-2 days this beta seemed to be "hmm it's still acceptable" for battery drain, but now it turned ridiculously bad with 24% drain while SLEEPING for 8 hours.

Must admit I didn't disable one app though: S Health.

But honestly, if camera is much worse then a G5 and S Health CAN'T be used, who cares about the Samsung software. I should sell the whole phone and switch to any cheap-but-better-hardware-hack-phone coming with FULL version 7.0-7.1 nougat available.. This drain thing won't be fixed until spring I bet or just simply never by Samsung except when rooted/custom rom/kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Look, this sucks for you but don't go shouting the entire ROM sucks or whatever just because this case doesn't work for you...

I'm running this rom for a few days now and battery is just fine, S-health is working just as it should and I have no complaints (ok, just the camera but that's only in darker surroundings I think atm).

And while there are a few others having issues, there are plenty being very happy. And believe it or not, I have had issues with other phones and roms in the past. Clean installing fixed this 9 out of 10 times... It's electronics and software, things can sometimes just go wrong.

Oh yeah, it's a beta also... That means sh*t can happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] deucecorp:
I'm happy to try ANY beta software on my computer/phone/tablet even beta operating systems, drivers, etc. but DO YOU think 24% drain on a phone while sleeping is normal?

Even if I turn on BT/GPS/performance mode and wake up every hour for checking time/weather it's STILL NOT.

And I remember last week even on 6.0.1 the battery drain was just "acceptable" and a huge step back compared to all my previous devices running every different roms I've had.

Okay, I stop moaning about it. I reset/restore/upgrade/downgrade, pray to gods not to trigger KNOX and maybe at the end the moral of the story will be: Samsung is the new Apple and I just run away screaming and buy something fitting my needs. (This is my first Galaxy Sx to be honest and expected more then a nice AMOLED screen).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Ric-:
It has to be one of your apps. I'm getting 2-4% drain overnight (from 6 to 9 hours of sleep) with wifi on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBRR1:
Great, thanks for the tip :good:

I'm using MS Next Lock Screen and that option is hidden until the system lock screen is set to PIN or other secure unlock method. With Next Smart Lock wasn't appearing onscreen.

My Places was/is a system widget. Apparently is not available.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] deucecorp:
I was thinking the same, but if you check the image attached you can clearly see the three typical android system/idle processes are draining battery like 6-7% each. The 7% screen is there because I started using the phone for like 20-25 minutes at around 11AM. Screen was 0% before that. I had no notifications during night, not even a led blinking. CPU-Z never drain anything.. I checked inside 'android system' and surprisingly found it's full of joke-category useless bloat processes, most of them can not be disabled at all.

Let's play a game. I factory reset this S7. Zero extra apps will be installed. If it performs worse battery-wise than my 3.5 years old HTC M7 (2300 mAh) then I forget Samsung for a lifetime. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] takerhbk:
Did you do a clean install? Try factory reset. 99% should solve all your complaints. If not something is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] coto39:
Sorry but you sound just like a kid complaining about a broken toy that he has been smashing to the wall for hours... It's beta software, if you flash it you KNOW which can be the consequences and you accept that it's possible that is not a daily driver rom. If you are not going to be ready to "pay" for the consequences then stay with a MM firmware :P

And now seriously, something is really wrong with your phone. Since I installed the beta I never had that kind of problems, in fact battery life is as good as with MM (sometimes it's better). I haven't seen reports like yours in any of the beta threads nor in the reports within the Beta Community (inside the Samsung Members app).

The battery consumption is abnormal and it is highly likely that is related to an app that you have installed, or to the fact that you didn't make a clean install (using ALL the files of the ODIN version of the beta, yes including the CSC which will factory reset your phone). Have you tried to install the beta again?

For me, battery life with the S7 was always better than I expected (like 36hours with 6hours of SOT, WiFi on the whole day except in the 6 hours I was sleeping, no gps), and also you can't compare this phone to the LG G2 because the hardware is completely diffent (this phone has a 2k display and 8-core processor), the battery life is expected to be differnt (otherwise, lets compare a Nokia 1100 with an LG G2 => the Nokia 1100 will beat the G2 for much).

In the end if you are so pissed about this, just sell the device and be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBRR1:
OK one more try with the MM vs N Beta photo comparison. Remember I'm no photographer, so expect the average amateur pics and scenarios.

Same as before:

-Camera in auto mode.

-Focus locked on target.

-One pic at the time.

-Same image sensor (Samsung in this case)

-HDR off in some pics, HDR fully ON in other (no auto HDR)

I didin't crop the images this time, I'm posting them as they were taken.

My thoughts:

In a shadowed place in broad daylight without HDR the color temperature seems the same on both, as is the details while zooming in. The numbers on the barcode of the magazine look better on N Beta.

[IMG="MM-1 no HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7MM-1%20no%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="N-1 no HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7N-1%20no%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

In a fully lit photo with no HDR, is hard to tell, but the background in the N Beta photo looks a little bit less out of focus the MM. Details around the stitching on the eyes look also a little bit more sharp on N Beta, just a little, maybe there is a less aggressive sharpening algorithm.

[IMG="MM-2 no HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7MM-2%20no%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="N-2 no HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7N-2%20no%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

IN another fully lit photo, this time with HDR ON, the pics didn't turn out equal, but I can see no major differences, perhaps the N Beta has a little bit more sharp details, again like last pair where MM looked just a little less aggresive sharpening things out. Don't know if these two help.

[IMG="MM-3 HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7MM-3%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="N-3 HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7N-3%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

In a dark scenario, with HDR ON, MM background looks a lot brighter , with N Beta been darker and less fuzzy.

[IMG="MM-5 HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7MM-5%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="N-5 HDR"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16166510/S7N-5%20HDR.jpg[/IMG]

This time I don't see a clear winner, just spotted these differences.

Hope it helps. Cheers to the little yellow fish....:good:

I can't seem to flash this rom,

I have a SM-G930F from telecom in New Zealand

I have downloaded Odin v3.10.7 and also downloaded the ROM twice, each time I try to flash it gets to about 98% done and just stays there, Oden status stays on system.

I have done a emergency reflash worked fine and tried again but same results

Phone and Odin only gets to about 95% done and hangs (after about 30 mins fails).

Any idea what could be going on.

I've had the same issue since first getting the S7 on all Marshmallow builds and this beta too. 24% drain overnight is normal for my phone sadly. Don't know why, never been able to pinpoint where the drain is originating from.

I also have a Spark sourced S7. I've flashed XSA and BTU firmware on it multiple times without any issue. I'd try using a different cable/USB port. FWIW I used Odin 3.11.1 to flash the beta.

I understand you are complaining over the nightly battery drain...but one thing I dont get... I know some people that will do the same thing...and I have no idea what is the point on doing this...

Why on earth would somebody UNPLUG their device from the charger overnight? Its just sitting there and losing power no matter low low is that...instead of having it 100% charged by the time I leave the house?

Whats the point on doing that?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanivula:
Hmm guess I got lucky with a voda nz one! I went to XSA and 'dirty' flashed the nougat beta. Using odin 3.11.1 if it makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] supercakefish:
I used to leave it in. Then I read online that it was better for battery long term longevity to not let it trickle charge for extended periods of time. I don't know if that's true or not but it prompted me to change my charging habit. I charge it to 100% before I go to sleep and then put it back as soon as I get up in the morning, thanks to quick charging it's fully charged again by the time I've had my shower and breakfast. Again not sure what is really needed for proper battery care, so much conflicting information online!

But my S7 drains 3-4% per hour. I've tried uninstalling the obvious suspect, Facebook, but that didn't change anything.
