How is the battery life on your Verizon s7 edge - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I wonder if android system drain is same as other model. Seems like att also has the same issue, but one can dream.

Through the two days I've had mine, reports from other models have held true - Android System is the highest on the battery use list at around 30-35%. That said, I'm still getting 4.5 - 5 hours of screen on time, so the high Android System use isn't taking a major toll on the battery life.

Wait a week before answering this question. Everyone is going to be using their phones A LOT in the first couple days (tons of screen-on time) and in the meantime many things will be syncing and caching in the background for the first time.
Also, don't worry about what your battery stats says unless you are actually getting bad battery life. Android system notoriously is getting a bad rap right now even if the user's battery life is fine. Just leave it alone and enjoy the phone.
Cheers

OK! After a few days with brightness at around 15%, location on battery saving, data on overnight and not Wi-Fi, with email, texting, news, and tapa pulling data, am getting very good results. Looks like I can easily get 6+hours SOT.

Mine has been horrible since I got the phone 4 days ago. I lose bout 10% an hour or more. Not sure what's causing the drain. Phone stays slightly warm and google play services and android system are the top apps taking up the battery. If it stays this way, I will be forced to go back to V10 which gave me excellent battery life with same setup I have as S7Edge.

I am experiencing the same. I lose 10 percent an hour. I hope it changes.

Got 7hrs sot yesterday. With very heavy use.

I average about 3% an hour loss while at work (i.e. no wifi, bluetooth connected to Wear watch, and minimal SOT). So after 9 hours, I was around 73%. I'm getting about 5.5 hours of screen on time with playing games. Overall pretty good considering I have high-accuracy GPS enabled and no other power saving features enabled. I did disable a lot of app permissions for all the apps I have installed (i.e. I have ~250 apps installed) so not sure if that affected the battery life much.

I too am losing about 10%/hr. While I am impressed with the screen on time, I can get about 5.5hrs, the standby drain is crazy.

I don't know what you guys have running on your phones, but I'm not seeing anything close to that.
Mine dropped 15% in 8 hours overnight last night and about 30 minutes of screen time, with always on screen enabled. Which I consider acceptable. If I wanted to enhance that I could probably turn always on off, and enable greenpower to limit 4G when screen is off.
On St Patricks day (parade day), I was out for 6 hours, with 30 mins of screen time (just texting and pictures) and it drained from 100% to 92%.
The longest I've gone with out plugging it in so far has been about 15 hours, and that got me down 45% with 2 hours of screen on time. FAR better than what I got on my previous phone, the S5.

I'm getting an average of 7 hrs sot. This thing's a beast.

It's alright, 30hrs runtime, 11hrs SOT, 50% brightness mostly Web browsing (notice lightning+ 15%). I can make it work.

I got 12hrs of battery until it was completely dead on my initial 3 days of use. Android system was at 40-45% which seems high. Wiped system cache, disabled Nearby Device scanning, and turned off sync for a couple useless accounts and battery seems to have gotten way better. I will see how battery drain is overnight and tomorrow.
Side note: I always keep on Wi-Fi, Location, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Always On Display. Disabling these features seems non-realistic for a normal user.

~1.5 days normal usage right now. I'm sure it could be 2 if I put it down more often, or didn't work in a bad service area.
Everything is always on. Location, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Auto brightness.

After a few days, mine is really really good. Hardly any standby discharge at all, and easily make it through the day and charge anywhere between 50-65% at night.

If you have wifi, throw your phone into airplane mode, then turn wifi back on. Wifi calling will be forced on and save you a lot of battery.

Not too bad. It's a lot better than the S5.
And how long it takes to charge is great too

I have literally next to zero standby drain. You have something installed that is doing that to your phone.

I win. And after actually doing a full calibration of that, i got ~65 hours total
I was at 2 days 9 hrs with 19% battery life left before I plugged it in the other day.
That would be equiv to 57 hours with 81% drain.
If that was a straight linear drain and with a fully calibrated battery that would be an estimated 72ish hours of battery life.
I am running Onyx 4.2.
i got 4 days 8 hours 12 minutes. still running at 16%.
19% @ 21h 6m 44s since unplugged
but i don't remember if i rebooted or plugged in the usb somewhere along the way. either way, acceptable battery life, maybe slightly better than JI6
obsidian v4.2
edit: w/ stock kernel. i've heard the UCLF kernels have been having battery issues
Anyone can get 60 hours if you unplug, connect to wifi or turn off data and let your phone sit unused...these threads are pointless...
haha holy cow thats a long time with ur battery what do u guys not useur phone a lot???? =-O
Who has a longer battery life? Toyota Prius!
How can you compare battery life on a device that is being used differently from person to a person
Use System Panel statistic at least! I got -1% per 6 hours of sleep on Obsidian v4.2 and ~6 hours of constant usage.
So are you guys using eugene's kernels that give you actually ALL of the battery life by letting the battery die at 3v?

Exactly, even turn off wifi for more juice!!
Realistically, the best I have gotten was 24-25 hours (moderate use)
i actually use my phone normally, for me at least. and yes, i can still get 60 hours. i don't have a data plan, so i use wifi. I text throughout the day, but i'm not a "heavy" user so that's why my battery is higher.

Here you go! Most of has data plan and always connected to 3G, sync contacts with FB, google etc, email client, weather widget, FB feeds, stocks, news blah blah blah...I get 16-18 hours max with all this running and moderate use.
played angry birds for 3 hours straight, still at 90%.
I hit a record.
Yesterday riding around I must have watched a few YouTube videos and surfed the web/used XDA app to read forums. Perhaps I sent a text or two. No phone calls, GPS, or WiFi, though...
2 hours 34 minutes (yes, that's kind of ironic numbering, but that's what it said) later it was at 27% battery life left.
I now have like 80% of the Apps I had installed before uninstalled, so I know it's not a software issue with something draining the battery.
Display was taking 77%. Samsung initially stated that the sAMOLED screens would not drain as much battery, I think that is likely the culprit for many of the battery woes. I will be sure to avoid this screen type in the future.
My HD2 has a much smaller battery, but with the same usage patterns it runs circles around this Vibrant. It's not even funny.
The Vibrant can maybe standby for a day and a half. I can use my HD2 casually but let it stand by a majority of the time and the battery lasts like half a week...
I think the Screen is the culprit, IMO, which would explain why people who turn off auto-brightness and fiddle with that see much better battery life. On the flip side, the issue is exacerbated because the Vibrant doesn't have an LED Notification light (like the HD2), so everytime you get a text instead of using an inexpensive LED notification light, it's flashing that screen on. That means even if you don't use the phone all that much, your standby uptime can still be deplorable compared to some other phones if you get a lot of phone calls or notifications which turn the screen on.

I'll believe that when I see it. In any case if I play a game that long on the phone (I never do, but IF), I'd be at a charger, anyways.
21 hours to 50% ON STOCK
I got 21 hours on 50% drain using the juice defender on the stock rom. Not bad i would say especially considering what I was getting before I took steps to conserve battery life.
As someone else already said, this is kinda pointless. Everyone is gonna use their phone's differently. With all the apps, configurations, etc, there are literally millions of different variables.
Something that I find puzzling... I see so many people upgrading to 2.2 only to get 6-12 hours battery life. Why in the world do people accept that? What is so great about 2.2 that people are willing to settle for having such piss poor batter life just so they can run 2.2 on their phone's? I don't get it at all. The best I could manage on 2.2 was 18 hours. That rom came off my phone so fast it wasn't even funny.
Anyway, with normal use (read: light to moderate) I get just about 3 days with my phone on 2.1 Bionix. I wouldn't be considered an average user though, as I don't have 3G in my country and my widgets only moderately access the web. What helped me immensely was disabling data when I don't need it. I mean, do you really need your phone checking your email, weather, facebook, etc, while you're fast asleep?
i can play pocket legends for 3 hours straight from 100% to 5%. think it's good but not enough.

Battery Life - How's Yours?

What has been the average battery life with your TF? Mine has been good but feel like it could be better. Today for example, after charging and an hour of soem use, it was already down to 90%...but observing, it may also have like a "sweet spot" in the % meter as I often see it stay in the 50% to 30% ranges longer than the 100% to 90%...
Pretty damn good, I usually OC mine to 1.4 and have it at performance and it still lasts like 8 hours.
I have gotten into a habit of leaving mine in the dock until the dock battery is used up and then I will switch between netbook mode and tablet mode. I'm not sure on actual hour usage but I usually get between 3-4 days. And this is really my only computer at home, so I use it quite a bit.
With average use, youtube, games, reader, web browsing about 2-3 hours a day I only have to charge about twice a week. I love it. In the one test I managed I had my screen at full brightness and always on, gps and wifi tether running while I drove around town taking my wife to yard sales I ended up around 7 and half hours before i reached 15 percent. I'd say its pretty damn good. A hell of a lot better than my Adam I had before this.
Really good. Charging every couple of days
pretty good, i dont use it all at once but if i use it normally charge every 2-3 days
Mines pretty good, OD'd to 1.5 idle at 4XX. Yesterday on a 12 hour work day: browsing about 2 hours, Fring calls, playing games for about 2 hours, USAToday/CNN apps about an hour, Polaris about 45min, and watched The Hangover at 720p.
When I got home I still had about 41% left on the battery, it was on WiFi all day, bluetooth off, and auto bright on.
Lasts 8 hours if I continuously game on it.

10% down for an hour of use means at least 9 hours till you get to 10% which is pretty good, and just like the producer specifies. It's better than any other Honeycomb tablet out there, including Samsung's Tabs.
I can get on my TF to 11-12 hours of moderate web browsing (forums and static blog pages, not much power hungry flash) with auto-brightness (in fact close to 10%-0% brightness cause I mainly use it in the evenings, in a low lit ambient) and other than WiFi radios off, before it reaches 10%.
That's good battery life. Comparable to my wife's iPad 2.
I was out at work for 14 hours, when i came back,my battery has fallen by 22%. This happens often. In battery usage graph, i see that my tab was been awake intermittently a no. Of times during the time it was on standby, i mean like it was awake 50% of the time, in short bursts. At the same time, wifi was also on for very short intervals... my wifi is set to disconnect when screen off. I hav pulse,news360 and youtube widgets. And the asus time n weather thing. My mail did not sync during the standby time, as i received the gmail notification sometime after i switched it on. So it was probably an app that was causing multiple 'awakenings' ! Ne idea wat? I dont sync with picasa, so that may be ruled out.
Ps-this was undocked.
Pps- i found out the picasa sync option was checked, so i unchecked it. But i dont know if the battery drain was due to this. Isnt there any app like spare parts that can atleast tell the no. Of times/duration an app was used?

after using mine for about 24 hours fairly heavily, and having it oc' ed to 1.5, and a fair ammount of gaming, id say i could get a solid 7 hours of use out of it while still gaming a good ammount. Prob more, but no long term results yet.

What can one do to squeeze the most out of the battery.
- keep the the brightness at 50%
- set wifi to turn off when the tablet is on standby.
Anything else?
My stand-by time has been horrible. From 100% down to 85% overnight, then down to 35% after 16 hrs, and the next morning, 15% left! So I literally have to recharge every other day even with very light use!
I have set wifi to disconnet when screen off, and I have weather, pulse, gmail and c-note widgets on
I use my tablet for email, sometimes youtube and lots of games. Its on stock 3.1 with root and OCed to 1.4. It's probably like 2 hours everyday usage. I only charge it like twice a week.
I set my brightness to Auto, Wifi is on, might disconnect when screen is off, not sure.

cell standby usage

Is anyone else having high cell standby usage? My phone has been off of the charger for about 3.5 hours. I haven't made any calls or used it for any music or anything. The battery is now at 72% with the biggest user of battery being "cell standby". I have all of the power saving features turned on. I googled it and saw that some of the international s3s are having the same or a similar issue. In their instance, it was an issue with the radio.
ideas?
Have you rooted it or anything? Mine has been getting excellent battery life with moderate use. Took it off charge yesterday around 10am checked the tropical storm throughout the day and other stuff, by 9pm it was still around 70%

I've seen other folks complain about this. In my case, I have more time off than on, and would expect standby to be a higher percentage than other things...based on my current usage. (Been trying to see how long battery lasts with screen off. Looking pretty good so far. Can see results here).
I'm not rooted. The only reason I bring up "cell standby" is that it is the only thing that is high. A phone shouldn't drain 10% per hour while it is just sitting there. It's 11:30AM now and my phone has been off the charger since about 6:30. Now I'm at 50% battery.
I did read in some other posts that it may be related to LTE being rolled out. From what I can tell, the nashville area just got LTE within the past couple of weeks. I could be flipflopping between HPSA and LTE.

fyi, i think i may have fixed my problem. I reset the phone to stock and then let it reinstall all of my apps. I have all of the same apps as before, but the battery life seems better. I did this at around 5 yesterday and only drained off 5% or so of the battery between 6 and 10PM. Today I've been off of the charger for an hour and am still at 97%. I will periodically check it during the day.

Interesting.
I'm not really sure what to think about the Cell Standby thing. I've seen quite a few complaints about it. Thinking of your comments on battery life, take my battery usage per my post here. You'll notice that the time while on battery is 1 day, 8 hours, 25 min., and still had 35% left. Cell standby is 45%.
Of note about that is that I had the phone on approximately an hour and half. My test was for battery time basically in standby. I think the length of time ie excellent. Yet several have pointed out the 'high' cell standby. My thought is that if not using the phone, that will be the main thing happeninng, so logically will be a higher percentage of battery use.
Regarding battery use, I am not finding that I get that great of a time when I have the screen on a lot.
In the end if DEVS do something to bring down that cell standby time, it can only be good
I've had a similar thing happen to me yesterday where my battery drained 40% in like 3 hours with 'Cell Stand By" at the top. I ended up rebooting my phone and everything was fine since then.
Yes, my battery life has been terrible.
I had tried out a Lumia 900 and was getting much better battery life. I live in an LTE area.

i'm still at 87% after about 6 hours off of the charger.... with the same usage pattern as yesterday. I don't know if the reboot or the wiping of the phone fixed the problem.
I have been getting great battery life. On my first charge after I got the phone I went 1 day and 15 hours and still had like 10% left. I just put it on the charger a little bit ago and had gone 1 day and 12 hours again and had 30% charge left.
I have brightness at about 55% and power saving on except I have the CPU set to full power instead of limiting it.
It looks as the problem has been found on the international version. Maybe it can be implemented here in the states version

mine has been good since i wiped the phone and started over. I listened to pandora from around noon until 4:30 yesterday. i had around 60% battery when i plugged my phone in to charge at 10:30 last night.
I would beleive we have the same issue as my standby is high but i get great battery life so it didnt make sense...now it does...no big deal just know tjat what your seeing for cell standby is incorrect.....good find
I get two full days of use before I need to recharge. I dont turn the phone off over night and I have power saving off. Beats my x10 hands down

I'm not 100% convinced that cell stand by is a battery draining culprit. my cell standby is 50% after 1hour since unplugged and my phone just went to 98% just now so I am not seeing a HUGE battery drain because of it.. i think its probably a rogue app that is causing a wake lock. For those of you that is seeing unreal batter drains have you installed betterbatterystats to see if you can pinpoint the drain?
Ok my issue also went away.
When I signed in to my Google account, it installed all of my apps from my craptivate. Today I want through and deleted the ones I never use and now my battery is lasting almost twice as long.

Post Your Battery Usage Here

Hi, I know it's a little too early but please share how's the battery life coming along..
Screenshots along with other info on wether or not Stamina/Ultra Stamina mode was used. Thanks!
From it's first 100% charge.
1h30m of screen on time, no stamina modes used. Light-medium usage for browsing, facebook, reddit, etc.

That's quite average imho, isn't it? I mean after all the great reviews bout a 2-3 day battery life.. Was it more or less similar on the second charge?
Anyone else gettin better results?
I can't give any quantitative data, but qualitatively battery consumption is just awesome. I'm an ingress player so I'm used in measuring phone batteries in terms of ingress usage time. (screen on, GPS on, data on, moving around continously). The battery goes down sensibly more slowly than my previous phone.

First full charge with Stamina mode activated. Mostly browsing via WLAN, testing GPS, setting up Email etc..
74% used, over 6 hours screen on time over a period of 35 hours.
Very impressive so far. This is the first phone I've used that beats the LG G2 for battery life - and it trounces it!

Hey Ben it's pretty impressive indeed. Any stamina mode or so activated?
Nope. Just as it comes.
That's pretty awesome. Mine currently lasts around 16 hours, with heavy usage (I'll try to get screenshots in the coming days). Mind sharing the settings you're using?
Wow amazing! Do you mind sharing your app usage as well? Thanks!
That was just with general browsing using Chrome & tapatalk, video streaming using Showbox & BBC iplayer and general messing about with the phone. No games.
Auto brightness is on, stamina is turned off, but I do use greenify (non-root mode obviously) to kill apps when I've finished with them.
Amazing battery for me as well. I used the phone HEAVILY today! Lots of browsing and talk time.
There will be no problem getting over 6 hours on screen time.
This includes a lot of music playing as well, and the total is off by about two hours since I rebooted the phone at the AT&T store.
I had stamina mode enabled for some of that, but only the performance part, I disabled the part that turns off networking when sleeping. I honestly can barely tell any difference (except for longer battery life) between having stamina off/on when it's just the performance part, so I tend to leave it on now.
This is my 2nd day, I have 4h screen time and I'm around 45% now right before going to bed. Should easily get me to 2 days of full usage. Which is amazing. This is just the best smartphone ever if you ask me...

Here are my stats. I literally tried to use it as much as I could while watching NFL all day. I had a ton of usage today with lots of background processes. This is paired with moto360 all day with stamina mode on with exception of gmail and hangouts. One gmail account and exchange for work.
Forgot to mention I also have Acdisplay - came from a motox and can't live without this function now
Two days so far using it from 100 to basically zero.
Not as impress as I thought I would be. Does this seem normal to you guys?
No stamina mode activated because I wanted to see how long it could last alone. I was really hoping for the "2 day" battery life the reviews were raving about.
Think it may get better after a few more days?
Day 1:
Day 2:
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Of course. I have double tap to wake on. BT and LTE are disabled unless I need it. Wifi/3G always on. Brightness is at about 30% with ambient sensor on.
Lost 3% over night, but I had a battery drainer app trying to access location all night! And I also really like, in battery stats display and cell standby are on the top. With my Samsung Android system/OS always was on top and it drove me crazy
Btw I'll post stats after another few cycles. This is just a first impression kinda thing with alot of usage time while setting up the phone.
Turned phone into stamina mode before going sleep with 37% remaining. T2w on. WiFi off.
Woke up 8 & half hours later and it dropped only 1%.
This phone is legend in standby mode. Bonkers
Does tap2wake supposedly increase battery drain?
I know it does on phones not designed for it but I figured phones designed for it would have a special kernel or something to reduce drain to normal levels...

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 7 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
No one has mentioned it yet so I thought I left a comment.
Standby drain is great. Less than 1.0%/hr in my use case. (AccuBattery: 103h)
Have had Samsung Exynos phones before which had extremely bad standby drain, the Xiaomis I have/had have a lot better standby drain but not as good as my OP7 Pro
I'm seeing between .3% and .8% drain when idle. I think it depends on if I'm listening to music or YouTube vids with the screen off or it's just truly idle doing nothing.
Yesterday I left my phone with 85% over night, nearly all connections turned on (Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC) and 6 hours later I was down to 82%. Didn't expect that. I love it!
Over all stand by time isn't to bad, but usage of the phone isn't very yet. I've only had the phone for two days and I'm noticing heavier battery drain then from my note 9 the 845 processor. Going to give a few more days and see. All in all I like the phone. Just my thoughts

Well, the standby is pretty nice, according to me it drops like 2-3% overnight leaving Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on. I previously had a OnePlus One, running POSP (4-6 hr SOT) so it feels great upgrading.
It's about 0.5% per-hr for me overnight and 1% during day. Much better than my last phone with far less spec but has a ton of bloatware.
I read a lot of complaints about battery drain in OnePlus' Chinese forum but I think it's all due to unscrupulous apps by companies like Tencent and Baidu who continuously track and steal user info because I also have HydrogenOS but thanks to Oneplus I was able to completely uninstall all those apps.
I have to say standby drain is great. Coming from pixel 3 on busy work days, I barely used my phone outside of phone calls and Waze to and from work. I would get home always under 50% and be dead by 10pm. It's currently 1am and I am still at 44% on op7 pro.
Standy drain is good. It's dropping few percents over night but it's not like 1% or more per hour. More like a 0.5%/h. Even during the day with 4g data enabled its really ok. I'm very pleased with it, definitely better than my old Galaxy S6 Edge Plus which was more and more inconsistent with new updates

do you have ram boost enabled? are you on AA or BA?
Mine drops on average 1.7% per hour according to AccuBattery. I do a lot of YouTube streaming with the screen of though.
Hi,
I have had the OP7Pro for over 3 days now and I think the battery has settled after the initial indexing and setup. The phone was kept overnight at 52% at 10:30 pm and today morning at 6 a.m. it was down to 36% which about 16% drain over 7.5 hours. I don't have a lot of apps running in the background except for Gmail, Whatsapp, weather and normal google services. Is it normal to see such a drain? Or, do I need to need to wait for another 3 or 4 charge cycles for the battery/ system to really settle down?

Pretty good idle about 0.3 per hr
As always on this kind of threads I see wonder numbers.
I get 0.7%/hr which isn't bad at all, but it's far from 0.3. I am on EX kernel, no other tweaks.
around 2-3% an hour on standby. Got the usual apps (snapchat, instagram etc, no Facebook tho)

That's terrible mate. Probably snapshat.

My device has abt 5% drop over night but that's cause of Instagram and WhatsApp notifications running in the background, otherwise it's standby time is grt
Battery life also depends upon the cellular signal in your area
Lower signal mean more battery sucking
The most I have seen mine drop overnight is 5-6%, with Bluetooth on an Wireless off. I have had the T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro for about a month now and have messed with settings and even tried flashing the international version.
9.5.9.GM31CB - T-Mobile Firmware seems to provide the best battery life for me.
9.5.10.GM21AA - International Firmware saw more drain, idle and with usage.
Pretty impressed. 3rd day of ownership, not rooted get. Gm1917 on WiFi. 40% battery yeilded me over 6 hours sot.
