Post everything you do to boost battery life.
Some of us have long days, and it would be sick if we can keep the phone running for 12> at above 15% battery life.
What do you have?

After a months of work,
in what condition is your battery life?
Me and my wife we have MT4g mine I got it on Froyo her was on GB, I rooted mine and downgraded her. But I found that any custom rom on her the battery go out of charge in less than 1/2 a day. mine i ok with battery life I flashed 6 different Roms on both phones to compare the battery life mine is good her is out in no time. Any ideas appretiate your help
Switch batteries to see if her's is going bad?
I did that before and it's is the same.
She might be downloading an app that is draining the battery. Check to see what is using the most battery in settings.
I have always rooted my phones but so far I haven't rooted my S7 Edge yet. However, the battery life sucks but after reading some comments on here it seems that people who root are getting no better or worse battery life. I was just looking for some feedback from people that have rooted to see what the majority response is. I've been contemplating doing this now for several days.
Thanks.
I've been contemplating about trying root again too, and that's after being on the U firmware. I'm now suffering battery life by only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%, unlike at the beginning I could get up to 3 hours by 50%.
When I was on root though, that's how bad I suffered, only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%. My Xperia Z3v is abandoned on support, but could still achieve better battery life being only on Lollipop. C'mon Samsung...

When i rooted my battery life dropped from 2 days to under a day before dying.
I am barely even getting that. I am at 59% right now with 37 minutes SOT and off the battery for 8 hours and 26 minutes. When I check app usage, the only thing that is high is the Android System at 39% and the Kernel at 10.7%. I can't figure out what kills my battery. I am on WiFi most of the time while at work or at home. BT is off as well.
On root you are using the engineering bootloader so the battery life is bad. You are better off using stock U. It runs smooth and battery life is not bad, plus you can get OTA updates.
U is a great FW so far. Battery life for me, with about 4 hours of SOT got me to about 50% at 530pm and I was off the charger at 7am.

Ok thanks I've been on accu battery and it says I get 24hous sleep 5hours with light and 18hours idle I thought there was something up with my battery life so I wanted to know other people's benchmarks. 5 hours didn't seem like much to me...
hello
is it bad?
Hey folks,
I just want to say I an extremely surprised of the battery life of the phone, before the update I had great battery life, after the update I have amazing battery life... Even before the update I have no clue why journalists and tech sites and YouTubers bashed the battery life of this phone, it's more than good...
How is your battery life compared to your usage? Before and after the update?
Easy 5-6 hours SOT on dual SIM with LTE and some camera snaps here and there.
On oreo it was about 4-5 hours max
