[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Djuganight:
I have read about this trick/suggestion on Google searches and I was going to try but when I do that I get the pop up warning message saying basically will restore all restriction that I have made, including enable apps that are disabled, etc etc.

How will this help when the apps were disable and restricted specifically to reduce battery consumption?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] archbishopKL:
I have absolutely no idea, but it definitely fixed it for me (I believe it is something to do with the way Google play services interacts - I forget). I'd suggest making a note of apps you've disabled and then go ahead and reset the preferences. Tedious, but not sure of an alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Djuganight:
I went even further.

Samsung replied to my email and inform that after an upgrade is advisable to reset data/system to so that everything is installed as new.

Actually I was surprised with such comprehensive email. They said of this situation is not solved I should call them and they will remotely access to the phone to make done tests. Hands down to this kind of client support. Top.

Well, I backup the phone and made made a reset in recovery.

Battery is as was before... the only difference I notice is transition lags here and there, something that I hadn't before...

I trust that the nougat system requires optimization still
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mausbock:
Yes, a factory reset sometimes helps, sometimes not. When I flashed Nougat I also triggered a reset while changing CSC with a 4 part firmware via Odin.

The answer You got from Samsung is a the standard for nearly all common problem on Android phones: If something is not working well, do a factoy reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Djuganight:
Factory reset did nothing and I have the phone always in battery saving... battery saving and normal mode is just the same.

Problem here is the wifi.

If I was rooted I would edit the build.prop to add the wpa.supplicant line. I have the phone almost 2 weeks and I regret buying it every day
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mausbock:
I only can repeat my suggestion to analyze Your issue using BetterBatteryStats and Network Connections app described in my previous posts.

If You need assistance regarding the apps You can also send me a PM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Redeemed222:
I had to test left and right to dial my S7 in after the update. The best thing to do (for me at least) was to....

1. Factory reset.

2. Clean cache.

3. Reset app preferences

4. Disable any apps your not using

Now this is where the system was draining my battery very bad. I use Netguard. The program tells you to enable background data and unlimited data use. That was was killing my phone. After testing the program with those options off and on I realized the program works fine without those options and my battery use cut in half. I only turned off background data on the apps that showed up in the data usage info. I usually turn off background data on every app on my phone but with nougat it seems to drain more battery when I do that. Very strange!

I also use Package Disabler. Been using it a long time with good results but with nougat it seemed like it wasn't working the same. I had to enable all apps, disable them on the S7 first, force stop one's I was going to disable then disable them with Package Disabler. I have 165 packages disabled. I probably have the most thorough list of packages that won't disable your phone or cause boatloops.

Lets see... What else? Med power save, black theme etc.

All this in this order and I can get 30 hours of normal use. 9 hours SOT without putting the phone down. I'm finally content until the new fixes are released. Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
I also got 9 hours SoT with my S7 flat, without disabling any packages, just by using the phone very lightly, and leaving the screen on much longer without using it, as it shows you have also done there

Not difficult to achieve

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

This is the day I did this. I used the phone the whole time. Web mostly and gaming in between.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

The point is with the same activity the day before I was getting 3.5 hours screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Djuganight:
You have almost the same SOT than the time the phone was unplugged from charging, how is that even possible.

"It's a kind of magic magic magfic..." lololol

I can then assume that my phone has some hardware issue because the discrepancy from mine to yours is immense.

Here’s mine below (another one).

Phone has been unplugged from charger with 96%.

Now has 41% therefore with 55% battery I was able to achieve 28hours of use being almost 3 hours of SOT.

This only with very moderate use and battery saving on all times with screen res. to th lowest, e.g., 720p.

I connect the wi-fi to receive messages and disconnect immediately, to maximize the use.

Location services are off, Wi-fi is set to sleep when screen is off, AOD only works between 09:30 and 20:30, etc etc etc

Honestly I never worried about this with any device until I stumble with this topic. Then I start creating concerns in my head. Like me, many others.

I think my final conclusion is "The hell with the battery drain"

Charging the phone once every 24 hours is what I get with all my smartphones. Since this is the most powerful I ever had, what could I expect? That would consume even less battery than my previous devices? I'm going crazy with this SOT subject without any reason.

is the same as moving from a diesel Fiat Punto to a Ferrari and then complain the Ferrari drains the tank in just a few hundred kilometres while with the diesel car we could do one thousands kilometres

The package came with a charger, so when battery discharges, WE CHARGE it again! Simple!

What is the worst that can happen? We deplete the "living capacity" of the battery in a year? Ok, we have 2 years guarantee so we ask for the battery to be replaced under guarantee and that’s the End of story! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Redeemed222:
I had 12 hours use and 9 hours SOT. Big difference than 23 hours of use and 3 hours screen time.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Redeemed222:
For anyone who is having problems with battery life after the update I'm still getting really good performance. One thing that happened though was my cell stand by shot up like crazy today. I turned off voice over LTE and my battery is even better now.

I don't like having to do all this to get good battery life but if it helps to get by until some bug fixes are released I'll live with it until then. Good luck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OKvJfKWGjw here's a good video about battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cricketgirl90:
I always experienced worst battery life with power saving. The only reason I can come up with is with power saving u r limiting processing power and the tasks u r performing needs more power. Hence processor is working over time while underclocked. So do a full battery drain (let it literally switch off) then charge device overnight. Turn off power saving and AOD and then use the phone. In my experience it always works!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MarksThinkTank:
I've got an Exynos version and just had it go from 35% to 1% then dead in a matter of a minute. Anyone else experience this? Other than that battery life has been pretty decent on a day to day basis though I would get an occasional day that seems to drain faster than normal.

I also get Google Play Services crashing since doing the OTA update to Nougat. I've googled around and it seems to be a permissions issue that I'll try to fix once the phone charges back up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] bo8:
With Telus, was completely stock on Marshmallow 6.0.1, did the OTA to 7.0 finally. Did a cache partition wipe immediately after successful update. Allowed phone to do its thing after restart. Been three hours since and I'm loving the idle/sleep rate so far! It's just been sitting on my desk tho. Real results after a few days of normal usage. ;)

Edit: On Marshmallow it'd go at least 2%/h even on idle.

Here's more non magic battery life. I did sleep but resumed use when I woke up. I'm very happy with my battery right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlowBusa08:
I have an S6 Edge and after terrible battery drain I went to the samsung guy at best buy. I was very reluctant, but he did show me that under theres an issue on a lot of phones after the update. For some reason the update switches a lot of Verizon users from CDMA back to Global, and apparently that causes the phone to constantly look for cell towers.

If you go under the network settings switch it back to CDMA. It did make a major impact on my battery life. It still wasn't great so I did a full factory wipe, and re-installed all of my apps directly from the app store instead of a full restore. I was only getting 4-5hrs prior to that, now i'm back to a full day on a single charge.

FYI It's still a battery hog compared to Marshmallow, but I assume it'll get better as a lot of the apps get optimized for 7.0. Hope this helps some of you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] purplesuit12:
samsung g6 with extra samsung and sprint garbage SW. No, I don't want any of those things. But they get installed and turned on anyway. I made the mistake of listening to their nagging and installed 7.0 The battery drain is 2-3X more than before. I am in intermediate mode (power saving mode). I cleared the cache, I reset a bunch of times, I turned off access to devices from any app where it didn't make sense to me. I use a radar app, a mycelium wallet, and a QR code reader app and those are all in what I think is power saving mode. At least none of them show up in the list under the battery monitor.

The basic problem is every single update makes the battery drain and/or functionality worse, and I have ignored the nag screens many times. The new 7.0 software has nothing new that is useful that I can see. The "device optimization" is changed but not really new, and it says "100 Excellent!" Obviously just meaningless drivel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lirong:
In case this is helpful to anyone:

My unlocked S7 recently got the Nougat update. Immediately after that I seemed to be having a battery drain problem.

I did a Wipe Cache and then Reset App Preferences and since then my batter life has been fine - Im pretty sure its better with Nougat. I actually think its noticeably better with Nougat.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] submin_:
I'll x-post this here from another thread:

Today was my new low record, 10% battery left with 1h45m SOT.

Wlan has been off, BT off, 4G data on, most used app was Spotify which I used with headphones for about two hours. Before Nougat update I could get 4-5 hrs SOT.

I don't use Facebook or FB Messenger apps, and have actually disabled FB and a lot of other junk with Package Disabler Pro. Using PDP doesn't really have much effect on my battery life.

Any suggestions before a factory reset / full wipe? I did perform these actions when upgrading to Nougat already, though.

S7 Edge latest Nougat G935FXXU1DQG1 Battery Life

Does anyone know if the latest Nougat G935FXXU1DQG1 firmware has fixed the poor battery life issues on the S7 Edge? I went back to the stock factory G935FXXU1APAW firmware as I found Nougat was giving me much poorer battery life. My estimated remaining time on APAW on a full charge is usually around 24 hours!

Can you elaborate on what services and bloating were disabled ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mausbock:
It depends on what You are using.

If You don't use Gear VR, You can disable it.

If You don't use S Health, You can disable it.

If You don't S Voice, You can disable it...

But don't disable things that You don't know exactly. It may result in a soft brick and You may have to reset the device or flash the original firmware again in download mode.

Hi, I was attempting to debrand from VIE-AL10 to VIE-L09C432. The phone originally had EMUI5 w/ TWRP and root. After reboot after changing the oeminfo, it was not able to boot into the OS. I have been trying to boot into TWRP without success and it is not allowing me to flash the stock recovery, its giving

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

The bootloader relocked after the oeminfo change and it added FRP lock as well. Does anyone have any idea how to get around this?

[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] cheers12:

I was attempting to sideload a custom rom (AICP) onto my Z1C.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crystal_clear:
re your post

first step - unlock the phone

secondly - find the htc shipping rom, offered on here some months ago.

thirdly - install it and banish the orange rom forever.

* * * important * * *

if the phone goes up the kyber, you will need to put it's orginal rom (orange) back on it, when they send you your replacement device - it too will be locked, and you'll have to repeat the process.

* info *

i've done it to mine, and my phone is like another world, it looks and feels alot better, without all the crap orange has incorporated into it.
