Just starting a thread for battery life experience as people use the phone. Mine is pretty freakin' great right now, but I'll post some initial results after I get home later tonight. I finished charging to 100% almost 2 hours ago, and with just a bit of usage (maybe 10 minutes total screen on time) I still am at 100%. Though, we know that it sometimes takes a long time to drop from 100% to 90%.
What are other people's experiences? Please post display on time in battery stats, as that gives a good feel for how much you're actually using the phone.
Unplugged it at 6:30am with a full charge.
Took it to work, I put it in airplane mode when I'm in the building because I don't get a signal and don't want the radio searching for a signal and wasting power. GPS/Bluetooth/Wifi are all turned off. I turn the radio back on when I'm out of the building, and I'd estimate it's been on 2 hours since it was charged.
Have watched the latest episode of Family Guy and started on the latest episode of Dexter using Rock Player.
I estimate the screen has been on for about 4 hours. I can only estimate because I had to plug the phone in to transfer a file a couple hours ago which reset the stats.
I've downloaded and installed about 20-30 apps today over 3G networks.
At the current time of 3:15pm (8 hours 45 minutes since full charge), I have 30% of the battery left.
I think you're supposed to do a full charge and full discharge so the phone can "calibrate" the battery meter, which I have not done yet, but so far I'm very pleased. Puts my 2 yr old G1's battery life to shame...
Yeah it sounds decent. A bit better than my Nexus One was.
I would say it is on par with the Nexus One. Should get you through the day but you will be plugging it in at night. It is comparable to most android phones.

Without explaining a bunch of boring details, it's definitely better than my N1 so far. Charged it up right after getting it from the UPS guy today for a couple of hours while I took a nap.
We'll just have to wait and see after a few days of use, charges and discharges. Looking great so far, though!
Played around with it at the store today, came in at 3 p.m after school. The demo unit was already at 45% when I got it, surfed the web for about half an hour, downloaded an app, watched YouTube for about 5 minutes and the phone died at about 4:30.
Not really impressed, but its an Android phone. Hopefully it can be better, the good thing is that the web browser is a lot faster than my iPhone 4. That's what keeping me on returning the iPhone, and it starts up a lot faster as well. Took about 20 seconds to boot up after the phone died on me, and the rep charged it.
Definitely will be needing to charge it every night.
3 hr bike ride with music playing used about %50 of the bat. So its way better then my G1 but not as good as my Iphone 2g.
I'm getting much better battery life then I was getting on the G1....love this phone

How about someone download Battery Left widget and tell us what it says.
Will vary by user but it will be more accurate with remaining battery life.
So far the battery life on mine is terrible compared to my nexus one, and that was terrible as well.
I woke up 10am, phone on the charger, took it off, around 2pm made two phone calls. Went to work at 5pm, phone's battery was at 23% around 7pm. My nexus one around that point would be at ~50%. So far I'm not impressed with this phone, more work could have went into it.
I loaded a few webpages... did a video chat with someone on Fring for about a minute (lol), downloaded a few apps, had a few phone calls... one lasting about 10 minutes... and after being off the charger for 5 and a half hours.. i'm at 44 percent power... this is my first android device so I'm not sure if that's good or bad
Have you all that are reporting poor battery life done the full-charge/full-discharge thing to "calibrate" the battery meter. I'm not sure that it really matters, but I'm assuming it does since battery info is one of the things you can wipe in the recovery roms.
I'm still extremely pleased with my battery life.
I got the phone yesterday and played with it right out of the box till it was at 5% battery... i plugged it in lastnight and let it fully charge and i unplugged it at 6:15am this mornining... i used the gps to get to work to see how it was... i have watched videos on youtube, gone on the internet, checked and sent emails and texts, downloaded some apps... and played around with it today... i had it plugged into the computer thru usb for approx 5 min tops to set up some media files... and as of now at 3:33pm my battery is at 50%
Opening mine at 930/10pm, heavily used it to burn it to 0% and did that by 12/1230am. Charged it to 100% by 330am. Played with it a bit then went to bed, left it unplugged. Woke up today and burned it to 0% by 330pm. It's charging right now and we'll see how it goes throughout tonight. It will get a bit of pocket time so I'll get a real feel for the battery life.
Took mine off the charger at 7am throught the day had 20 incoming/outgoing calls all lasted at least 2or 3 mins each, downloaded a couple of apps, checked facebook and twitter a few times. showed it off to some friends and now it is almost 5:00 and still have 60% battery, so I am impressed especially since I had a G1 before this

They aren't changing them long enough. Lithium ion batteries don't have to be trained like the older style ones. Other other culprit could be the batterystats.bin but you can't access or delete that without root. Jut discharge the battery till it powers off and charge for 4-6 hrs.
charged mine last night while tethered to my laptop browsing - took it off about midnight
this morning the alarm sound (pre-alarm 5 minutes, full alarm for 10 mins and never woke me btw), spent about 2 hours+ talking, browsed the web for maybe 15 minutes, downloaded a few apps from the market and ran a few quadrant benchmark test - it's now almost 6:00PM and it's at 40% -
i'm happy with that - and from experience with my MT3G and the vibrant, battery life should improve with some cycling or useage

leave it on the charger for 4-6 hours after its full or just to charge it from empty to full?
I'm very glad to hear about the excellent battery life. A friend of mine has even reported his phone being on for a full day and still having battery life left.
People make sure that you charge up your battery fully before turning the phone on. It's better to be safe than sorry. I know people say it does not matter but otherwise the battery won't be accurate if you just turn it on out of the box.
10 hours and some change later after normal phone usage and I had to charge it... I'm impressed to say the least
Question for those who have the Venue Pro: For the past two day that you all had the phone how is the battery holding up?
I'd like to know that too, battery life is the reason why I don't want a HD7.
I took mine off the charger about 7am yesterday, went to work, used the phone to browse the web on the train, make a few calls, send some messages and mail & used the media player. Got home around 7PM with about 20%, which was about what my brother's Venue Pro had as well.
His phone died around 8:30, I had mine on the charger by 9PM, so I would say the battery lasts anywhere from 12-15 hours with moderate usage. This was on the first full charge though, so that may improve.

Thanks, that's n ot to bad.
Feels like it's similar to my HD2 in usage. Wish the battery lasted a little longer but then again i'm using the thing more then usual since it's new
Those of you with the relaunched DVP, could you comment on battery life please? More to my query, can you use it as a Zune all day and still be able to have a full day of usage?
would like to know this as well
battery is decent, I had wifi running while I was planted in the phone for a straight 2 hours and it lost about 1/4 of the battery. I have yet to go a full day straight without putting it back on the charger about mid day. So maybe tomorrow I will give a review on the battery
Today it's been going for about 15 hours of really light usage and it's at half power.
Yesterday I used it web browsing for an hour or two and used it about as much as I ever will and it got about 18hours.
First day with over 300MB of downloading, syncing and first charge resulted in about a 6 hour battery life.
I would like to test straight up MP3 playback time but ran into the problem of volume. It rings through the headphones if you have headphones plugged in so I wouldn't be able to hear my phone ring. Not really an option. And I'm not keen on tinny mini speakers playing music for a couple of hours.
Yesterday woke up to its first full charge.. used it to surf and text and made about 30 min call. Texted off and on all day, even played with a few apps and had wifi on for about 3 hours. It died in about 10-12 hours.
So it should last a full work day, and if your at work you could have it on charge.
On standby today (havent played with) and about 30 min of talk time. Its showing almost no charge lost in 4 hours..

I don't know if its just me but on my first full charge I only got 4 hours of usage. On the second charge it jumped to 7 hours. I'm pretty sure its because I was constantly using it, but it was still a bit of a surprise to see my battery life drop so quick, especially after hearing reports of 10-15 hours of moderate to heavy use.

Same here, I have been so disappointed by battery life.
on idle
2 and a half days
moderate use
1 day and about 5 hours (no playing just sms very few calls)
heavy use
18 hours
my phone just died and this is after 1 and a half of use! this thing is incredible compare to my G1!
I don't even have to lower the brightness and turn off all the features unlike my G1, which really hindered my experience with that phone. It's the same story with my friend's new MyTouch 4G. His die after 7-8hrs of use and he has to turn off features and turn down the brightness.
This phone on the other hand, I used it quite often in those 1day and half. texting, phone calls, internet, playing games, watched an episode of family on Netflix app, took many pictures and played with camera settings and many other things, yet it lasted that long! WOW

Hey guys im just wondering if my battery is funky... i just got this g2 yesterday and am running off a full charge since 6:43 AM its 9:51 AM now and its at 91% i really havnt used it to terribly much since im in school but it seems that since it dropped from 100-99% at 8:34 AM it seems to be draining quite fast now even when its sleeping... i havnt messed with the settings to much so is there something bloatware or software wise thats making it run out fast or by the times given am i just tripping and my battery life is fine, i just feel like the 3000mAH should be doing alittle better than this..
THANKS in advance!
I can tell you with my Verizon G2 I get awesome battery life other day I was at 16 hours 8am-12am with 2hrs screen on time 35 mins playing games and 2hs 25min of streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. I was at 52% after all that. Don't know if that helps but that is what it is for me. Since got phone it has never dipped below 50% in up to a 18hr day for me.

are you a heavy user?
Tmobile variant
I have the Tmobile G2. I'm a bit concerned about my LG G2 battery. Can others suggest a test that we can both follow so that I can compare my battery life to yours. The phone seems to be alright when idling for 8 hours as I slept it only lost 3%. When it comes to charging it went from 0% to 52% in about an hour, and was at 90% on its way to the 2 hour mark. But when using it just to browse and stuff it seems like its dying a bit fast.
So let me know things like screen brightness, apps to run and what not so we can compare how long our batteries last. That way I can return it before my 14 days are up. Thanks for your help in advance.

i constantly close all my apps and keep my brightness high enough to see but as low as i can to see... right now my batter usage is at 4hrs and 3 mins and im at 85% currently its saying i should still have 22hrs and 47mins but that seems impossible xD
"I have a theory"
So im going to wing this out for the rest of today and let it run down without charging it agian... if it lasts me all day ill post because im having a theory that the way the battery percentages on this phone are different cause of the new technology in the battery cause it seems that certain percantages last FOREVER then others go through rather quickly i think im just used to how my old phones percentages escilated ill repost when it dies or when i go to sleep
I would say I am medium to heavy user I stream music via Bluetooth everyday talk for 30 plus minutes on Bluetooth a day and play music in car hour a day and play games hour plus a day and I leave brightness on auto never on Wi-Fi lte only and I close all apps.
I charged my phone to about 94% went to bed with it at 89%. Woke up with at 86%, 8 hours later. My brightness varied through out the day from 23-60%, currently at 40%. Mainly did browsing and fb for a bit today. For about an hour while browsing the phone was on airplane mode with Wifi on. As of now at 54%, battery usage 16h 2mins, expected time to use +18h 54mins, last 3 hours in use, used 9%.
My battery use details:
Android System 25%
Screen 22%
Android OS 14%
Chrome 8%
Cell standby & idle 6%
I run near max manual brightness, a live wallpaper, GPS, WiFi on all the time, automatically checking email every 10 minutes, lots of phone calls and texts, and I still have 79%. Off charger since before 7a.m. Software says I have 36 hours left. Best battery life I have ever had on any phone, any Rom.

That's crazy my phone has been on for 19h 29mins without all that auto sync and other stuff you have running and I'm at 35% with an expected
6h 29mins left. You think something is up with my phone ?

Well, that's still not too bad. Are you a gamer? How's your signal most of the time?
Also, I'm on VZW, in case that makes a difference.

Not a gamer, tmobile usually 3-5 Bars 4g lte. I dont get how it just dies so much off of browsing alot but so efficient when sleeping. My phone is at 11% now after alot of browsing and talking on the phone for an hour. As I type this I've been on a phone call and googling info about battery tests for 45 mins.
this is complete BS!

i have a verizon version and compared it to my moms 4s battery running iOS7
heres the deal her battery usage is like 3hrs 7mins mine is 6hrs 23mins mines at 2% hers is at 51% we both unplugged the same time so this means im getting the same battery life as a 4s running iOS 7 plus she keeps her data and everything on i turn mine off when not in use... so did i get a defective battery? cause if my battery is the same as a 4s running iOS7 im not gonna be a happy person i know i should get at least 15-16+hrs of battery use and still have like 20-30% left! UGHH and my phone reboots into the verizon logo alot when i unlock it i think i got a horribly manufactured g2... just my luck what do you guys think?
It feels like i have the original droid razr battery life agian Dx my razr m lasted longer!
Unplugged my phone at 98%, went to bed woke up with it at 95%. Then had the screen on for an hour straight just messaging ppl on fb. Now I'm at 87%, that's not normal right? Screen is on auto brightness nothing else going on.
Can anyone confim that this is normal? i have an LG g2 with 3000mah and i loose 1% of battery every MINUTE while playing games, so 10 minutes of modern combat 4 or plats vs zombies is around 10 %, 60-70% brightness, sound half way or headphones. Some people are speaking about "5h of screen time easily" while i get 2-3h ...
My battery seems fine but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not using the standard "fast charge" method to charge it over night. At night I recommend either a Wireless Qi Charge or a "Slow Charge" from a standard USB port or a smaller charger like one from an iPhone (the little cubes with a USB port).
There is a HUGE difference on battery life throughout the day between a Normal Fast Charge and a USB Slow Charge.
I only use Fast Charge when I'm out and about throughout the day but I haven't needed to do that with the G2. On my Galaxy Nexus I could fast charge it to 80% and it would be dead in 3 hours just idling in my pocket.
First of all, I don't have an s5. I might get one soon.
For those who used ultra power saving mode, does it actually works? can you get 20+ hours on it at like 10%? that's 20 hours standby, what about constant usage with it on? what do you get?
Can't say I ever use it unless I really need to and my phones about to die.
I used it once recently, I was out all night at a party, at 14% battery I put it on UPSM at about 9pm. I did not use it very much at all, only for the occasional text.
At 11am the next morning I was still on 14%.
Seems really useful to me.
It works very well.

Works amazing, very useful feature IMO.
I find the battery over all brilliant. The UPSM is also very good.
I spend a lot of time out in the woods and hills for the weekend and with UPSM i can really stretch the battery out.

The phone was 80% at about 3pm Friday when I left the car. I used the phone several times Friday afternoon for calls and checking several email accounts, took some photos showed some others to friends. Location was on as I used weather and nav apps. That night I put it into UPSM till the morning, Used it the next day about the same for calls and data, again UPSM sat night. Sunday early afternoon it was just under 30% battery.
The screen was on near full brightness all the time, not out of preference its just the "auto" brightness sensor.software is useless.
Battery is great.
It`s actually a very useful future first week when I got my phone I have to go on a party on Friday and have my phone not charged on around 15% battery I turned UPSM on because I wanted to still have a phone after I finish drinking (not really a smart idea though) and even with some browsing it was on around 10% in the next morning. It`s good to know that if you need your phone it could be with you. However the battery life of this phone for me is stunning after a day of usage it`s on like 50% however i don`t use intensive apps or stuff just Facebook, Browser and my on screen time is around 1 hour and 30 minutes per 24 hours. But still I`m really impressed with the battery life as previously I do have a S4 mini and it lasts around 10-15 hours on one charge which was sad because I really liked it. And having in mind that this battery life is without any form of power saving and with Network on all the time is impressive really.
Hope this helps you.

thanks man!
Bought this phone 4 days ago on friday. S10plus exynos 128gb, dual sim, but i only use one sim. Android 10 and ONE UI 2.0.
Friday was spent to set up the device. I used smartswitch. Saturday, i fiddled with the device. Battery wasnt that great tbh. Sunday i read some guides and i factory reset it, backuping only messages and photos (contacts are from google). All apps were reinstalled manually.
What got me worried was, i set an alarm for monday at 7.30. When it rang i unplugged the phone and kept snoozing it for another hour. When i finally woke up at 8.30 it was on 94%. 6% from snoozing it?? Come on...
So i reset all three settings (accessibility, network and setting) and cleared cache in recovery mode. Still i was at 6% at 18.00 and i wasnt done with stuff, but i had to go home to recharge... SOT at 6% was 4hrs 50 minutes. I used gmaps navigation for 2hrs and that was the only time i had location turned on.
So today i did some more tweaks and my setup is as follows:
LTE ON all day
Wifi maybe turned on once or twice for few minutes
AOD on tap
Lift to wake OFF
Dolby atmos ON
Sync off
Location off
Bluetooth off
Dark mode ON
Power mode is on Optimized
Adaptive power saving is ON
Adaptive battery is on (altho idk how much it worked in this two days since factory reset)
Bixby is ON and it can be summoned with locked screen
Google assistant is off, but i can "hey, google" when im on home screen.
Screen brightness was most of the time at around 50-60%
Keyboard vibrations ON
Medium resolution
Its 17. 00 right now and im on 10%
SOT is 7hrs 30min but with 9hrs away from charger. I had a day off, so i decided to use it extensively to test the battery.
I have seen peoples results and theyre much better. Like:
-15% left, 21hrs since charged and 7hrs 30min SOT
-15.5hrs from battery, 7hrs sot with 3hrs of youtube and still 10% left
-1day on battery, 7hrs SOT with 2 hrs spent on instagram
-12hrs on battery, 7hrs SOT and 50% left
-7hrs on battery 6hrs 50minutes SOT with 64% left
-the most impressive 1day 12hrs on battery, 13hrs SOT with 4hrs of youtube and 4hours of spotify.
I know it depends on user and his usage, but the results of others are just too much better than mine and i cannot neglect that. And some are using BT, Location and SYNC all day ON with great SOT and standby and come home at night and dont worry about battery. I want it all on too, but mine would probably be dead by 14.00.
I was deciding between S10+ and P30Pro. Huwaei because i know their battery is superb. But samsungs stereo and system convinced me to stay loyal to samsung, and i thought that the battery will be improved and good with a 4100 unit.. But i guess i was wrong. I previously had s7edge and battery wasnt that great either, but i decided not to act on it and somehow got through with it for 3 years with multiple chargers thru the day. I thought this will be a very noticeable upgrade, but its not... And honestly, i dislike night mode and i love AOD always ON, always had it on on 7edge, but im afraid to use AOD and day mode on 10+ cuz of battery. It should be okay from the box for the price it costs. I thought with this big battery i will be able to have Location, BT, Sync, Data Always turned on and get through the day no problem. But apparently not. And I know its possible with huawei and i chose s10+ cuz i thought now it will be possible and i like its UI more.. But well.. Im disappointed..
Can anyone advise me what to do? Is my battery faulty? Should i exchange for a new one? As i said with s7edge i didnt go complain to samsung, but this is second phone with same problem and even more expensive. I feel it should be better. I expected at least 8hrs SOT and to get home at 20.00 (13-14hrs on battery) with still 20-25% left... With most stuff turned on. At least based on this forum and yt tests and what i heard from acquaintances that bought the phone..
I love this phone, its system, features, everything, but idk if im prepared to charge it 2 or more time a day for the next 2-3 years,as i did with s7edge...
Ps: in 16minutes to finish this post it dropped from 10% to 6% already on medium power saving mode...
Thank you for any help
Also those 4hrs of Samsung Internet were 95% news and forums, basically just text and no videos.
Also idk why the new android 10 battery usage doesnt show Android System and Idle. But here is also screenshot of Android system and CPU spy
Disable AOD service for amazing battery life
I disabled the AOD service and my battery life has doubled with Android 10
Your SOT is very good. 7hrs is quite impressive. I'm getting 3-4hrs SOT and mostly I'm losing 15-20% per night. But I have this Standby-Usage since my first Samsung (Galaxy S Advance) and I accepted it as normal.
Yeah today SOT was okay. But you gotta count in the battery since charge time. Yesterday my battery since charge was 12 and half hours. And my sot was 4hrs 50 minutes.
So i guess today would be the same had i not used the phone constantly.
I just dont understand how someone has a phone more than 20hrs since charging with 7, 8 or more hours of SOT. Yet i dont. Same phone..
And yeah i know AOD drains, but still theres sth wrong when your battery doubles if u turn it off. And with 4100, battery unit and 900€ phone this shouldnt be a problem.. Seriously thinking about exchanging it for p30pro. No need to tweak it and it battery just lasts. Ahhhh -.-

And yeah i know AOD drains, but still theres sth wrong when your battery doubles if u turn it off. And with 4100, battery unit and 900€ phone this shouldnt be a problem.. Seriously thinking about exchanging it for p30pro. No need to tweak it and it battery just lasts. Ahhhh -.-
I would say your battery life is good..I have Exonys version and I have most of the same settings on that you have on, plus some extra ones...before I installed android 10 I used to get +-12-18 hours standby and a sot of +- 2-4 hours depending on how I used my phone. I never switch off my phone(standby for work). So, when I go to bed the phone just lies there from 10pm till 5 in the morning.... I will restart my phone once a week. AOD is on from 5 in the morning till 8 at night. I never use any power saving modes. The best sot I ever got was 5h54...and the battery lasted 12 hours and most of the sot was playing candy crush...
With Android 10 the sot is still basically the same, but the standby time(idling/sleep) is much better....I get 18-24 hours now, depending on usage.
I know the snapdragon has a better "battery life" then exonys version. In general the battery life isn't the best, but also not the worst compared to other top brands...I had the S9+ and the battery life was worse then the S10+...I get +- 8-12 hours more life out of the S10+

Forgot to mention that when the phone sleeps, I loose .5 % per hour.with aod I loose 1-2 % per hour. When fully charged the first couple of percent drops quickly, but drops slower after 90%. I Have VOLTE and VOWIFI on permanently, I just switch off wifi and data when I go to bed, so for 18 hours a day I'm connected to wifi from home and work...when travelling I have a hotspot in my vehicle. Data connection(LTE) does eat more battery, but some areas our signal is very low and that eats even more battery...Over the weekend I streamed music to my bluetooth speaker for 10 hours and I lost +- 20%....that's including a lot of screen unlocking/locking, checking whatsapp etc.. Was very impressed..
Well thats comforting to hear.. Does it not bother you that some are getting much much more? Like crazy more..? Those examples of high standby time and high SOT are all from Exynos version that i found in the battery thread her on xda
It did bother me when I got the phone and tried all the tricks for better life and still I couldn't get close. The battery optimization took a while to "learn". Battery life is getting better slowly but surely...A longer battery life would be nice, but as long as I can get through a full day I'm happy. There is some days where I get through on the battery with some 40% left...other days I get home with 15%...usage per person and cell reception is a big factor for good battery life
Ahhh i just get real jelly seeing all others with such good results and i dont understand how it varies SO MUCH from one person/phone to another. Seems like a lottery.
I get even more jelly when i see p30pro results its consistent and same for majority of them and its soooo much better... But their system and features to me arent as good as samsungs.. Cant they just make a phone with samsung features and systems and huaweis battery? Hahah
lol...One of my friend has the p30pro and in the beginning the battery was great...He had it from the beginning....now, some time later he has worse battery life then me...
Seriously?? What messed it up for him? Maybe an update, faulty battery, or does this happen to all huwaeis?
My brother has a two year old huwaei and his battery is still amazing..
Same thing to me. Inconsistent battery, one day is good, one day is bad. I am pretty dissapointed, but I do not want a Huawei again. Features from Samsung are clearly better, and to pay 1300 eur to get an iPhone with 512 cause 128 are not enough and they do not support sd card... not worth. So, I will stick with Samsung, use my external battery sometimes but to be honest, it was more than enough how it lasted for me, it is just that obsession to have a good battery like everyone else.
If I am at work I have some wireless charger but I still do not use it cause I am busy, if i am at home i can charge it anytime... so there is no need to bother. I learned to not be that obsessed anymore and enjoy my phone.
What's wrong with 71/2 hours? I don't get anywhere near that?

My friend's not sure what is causing the problem, but he barely makes it through a work day....He bought himself a car charger and charges it on his way home, the trip takes about an hour per day....as he won't make it on a single charge for a day...He leaves work at 5 in the morning, takes the phone of charged and by 5 he has to charge again

7.5 with low standby time. With this standby time, according to others should be much much more. That similar to what i got on s7edge with smaller battery.
I unplugged today at 8.50. Its 10.26 and im on 82%. With hour SOT. With a bit youtube and some forums.. Thats just unacceptable..

Exactly. This dont get thru the work day either like some people do..bought this phone cuz is saw people get great SOT and they get home late at night with still battery left... And thats not what i get with mine.. Srsly dont get it...
Since you had your phone only for 4+ days I wouldn't stress too much...It took my phone 2 weeks to "learn" my patterns and optimize the battery accordingly when I was it was running Pie. When I installed Android 10, in the beginning it was crap, but 10 days later the battery was optimized...I make sure that the minimal apps run in the background/most are sleeping...

The battery was very crap in the beginning, but got better over time
Thanks for reassuring me. Im stressing so much cuz i got a week to replace it if its faulty. The deadline is on saturday.
If i miss it i can only use the warranty. Which is fine, but the seller or samsung has more rights and can make you wait for up to 40days to find your phone.
Within the first 8days you have full right to demand new device or your money back. At least thats consumer law in my country.
I did the warranty fiasco with s7edge cuz it had faulty screen... Never again. Costumer service terrible..
Followed corv0s guide..still not even close to 8-9hrs SOT... This battery is awful and idk how, since its 4100 unit. Not happy.. Today is last day i can still demand new phone or another phone..
