SD820 variant T-mo Galaxy S7 Battery life

Hey all!
I noticed today that when I was on wifi (great Signal) browsing the web through the stock internet app my phone was getting hot. No other apps were open to my knowledge.
While my phone was hot and I was browsing the battery went from 100% to 92% in about 40 minutes. That seems a little fast considering I was at ~30% brightness
This is the 5th Day with the phone so I'd like to assume after 5 full charge cycles that im in the standard use phase and should be seeing actual battery life and performance
And Of Course ANDROID SYSTEM and OS are taking about 35% combined -__-
I'm getting about 4 Hours of SOT at the end of a 12-15 hour day.
This seems mediocre considering I would push about 3.5 hours with my s6 (Pink tint screen problems tho, Thank god they fixed that on s7)
What are you guys getting on average?
[T-mobile Gold Galaxy S7 Snapdragon SoC]
Package disabler Pro- T-Mo bloat disabled and about 6-7 other Pinks
Installed

Dark Material Theme
in Good signal area throughout most of day except between mountains on a 30 minute commute twice a day.
Also, for the love of god when posting your battery stats PLEASE specify which CPU variant and if you have S7 or S7 Edge, huge difference in battery size!

Omg I just realized I posted this in the Edge Forum... oops Sorry!

That's quite okay because I have the S7 Edge on T-Mobile and my phone also does the same exact thing when on WiFi.

The CPU Temo app is showing 42-44C when im on the internet app with nothing else really open. Its rather annoying that it does this despite the heat pipe that was put in the phone.

Agree. I am not impressed by the recent Qualcomm CPUs, don't know what the fuss is about them with all the overheating issues. I had no issues with the exynos chip on my old S6E.

Plz use the battery thread that is already made thanks+

How is standby battery life on Exynos S8?

In my experience, especially on 4G LTE, Samsung standby is rather poor. How would you say the Exynos S8 does?

4g and wifi 247 facebook YouTube xda duos calls browsing the lot. pretty happy tbh. this is exynos model and its great

8 or 8+?

First 2 days mine was poor. But that was because I used smart switch to get everything from my S6. Then I realised battery drained fast. So I hard reset the phone again and installed all over. Just copied the video's and pics afterwards. Now the battery life is great. I don't know the screen on time because I keep the battery between 30% and 80%. But still I start use it at 80% and at the end of the day it is around 30%.

What theme is that?

I just got 43 hours total and 6.5 hours of SOT.
Best power efficiency I've ever seen in a phone.
Also read something online that the battery should retain about 95% of charge after a year of use. Hopefully this holds up!!!

8+ theme is mat black

Up.
How does the battery life of the S8 Exynos compare to the S7 Exynos , I plan to upgrade soon, just wanted to know if it worsened or anything due to the bigger display
Thanks!

Sweet! How about standby time? Overnight possibly with Wifi off?
Thanks!

Standby time never was a big quality on Android in general and Samsung in particular. iOS does a much better job in that chapter.

Would you recommend the Galaxy S7 Edge in late 2017 ?

Hey guys im looking for a new phone that isn't harsh on the budget but still delivers (currently using Nexus 5x) and im deciding between the Galaxy S7 Edge and the HTC 10 , the S7 Edge is refurbished 300 pounds and the 10 is brand new 270 pounds . I would like to hear your opinions and is it worth buying , pretty much im looking for a better performance and battery life .

I'm using the s7 edge since 1,5 year. I had never better battery life, and the performance is still in the top of list I think. Before that I was a huge fan of hts one series.

I would definitely recommend. Even after using it for 18 months, i'm still so happy with this. I believe there are many like me.

What kind of screen on time do you get . Im getting max 3 hours screen on with a total time off charger 8 hours on the nexus , my usage is kinda heavy because i like to play games listen to music on spotify and chat , and did you encounter any issues . Also is it easy to root and tinker ?

Yes, exynos is a Samsung fabricate, so it's better more energy efficient. I think it has also a lil bit better performance.

Stock, disabled unnecessary stuff.

Thanks for the information guys i think ill buy it in a few days

Budgetise, it's a good decision.
I get 5 hours+ on 3g only and 5-7 hours if using on wifi. 5 hours is the bare minimum. I'm on Superman Rom 2.8, Notorious Kernel. Nougut. On stock, it's possible to get 4-5 (or more if you use wifi mostly)hours easily. I use custom rom for features and control. My average battery life is 12-18 hours

Do you have exynos or snapdragon?
Exynos is more energy efficient.

Is seller refurbished and pre-owned by a person basically the same? Because i found a pre-owned model that comes with the headphones , cables , otg and a wall plug thats european standard (which is what i use) and 18 month warranty. The refurbished one comes with a usb cable , sim tool and a micro fiber cloth and 12 month warranty. (The price is the same) Also the pre-owned has pictures and its in excellent condition , the refurbished claims that its in excellent but no pics.

There is no reason to ask which one you should choose.
Check the imei no.-s and look is everything in fine condition. A phone in almost perfect condition can also be refurbished, and when the refurbishing was unauthorised, the warranty is already lost.

Htc software is too bad that it's neither the well known Sense nor Google's AOSP. It is just some **** in between them.

I am using Superman Rom which will give you more control on your performance and optimizations.
My device is Exynos.

Definitely, the s7 edge, for the first i am very satisfied with my purchase.performance wise its ROCKS!!!
my brother has s8+ but not even once have i felt that his phone is better than mine or anything. infact with batman rom sometimes my phone outperforms his
i am not a heavy gamer i just play clash royale on it. my phone usually gets through the day with just 1 charge.
n also also that edge screen is a beauty.makes it stand out.

Excellent phone in the exynos variant. Great performance and battery in stock - even better when modded. On Superman 2.7 and Superstock Kernel 2.9, chuck in greenify and force doze and I can easily go 3 days on moderate use (I estimate 5-8 days based on rate of battery loss, but I'm never game enough to try). No performance sacrificed in my configuration too.
I would say better then the HTC 10 in every way (although that is a very good phone too ) Buy the G935F if you are interested in Customs ROMs etc. Better battery life than the S8, S8+ Note 8 with pretty much the same features - grab the S8 launcher if you want the swipe up to open app drawer. Get an S8 port if you want all of the features of S8 (although i reckon the additional features are kinda useless haha).

I gravitated toward the S7 Edge from your comments and after watching a battery life test video in which the S7 Edge lasted 4 more hours than the 10 and in a heat test in which the htc after 20 mins of real racing 3 got to 45 degrees and the S7 Edge was like a boss on 37 degrees.

Need help and advice urgent

I need help regarding the battery life of samsung galaxy s4(i9506). The max screen on time i get from my phone is 2 hours max. Is it normal?

Turn your brightness down. Check background app usage, customize syncing, freeze or uninstall unused apps/app services. Go easy on data usage in areas with a weak signal. Polling kills your phone quick. Get a portable power supply

I changed the original battery for another of 7600mah because it had a short duration. now I arrive at 9 hours of screen with the maximum brightness and Wi-Fi on. The only drawback of changing the battery for a bigger one is that the phone gets fatter

Your phone is running stock firmware, right?
My phone is E330S, korean version of s4 LTE A, hardware is the same. And normally I can get > 3h onscreen without gaming (stock firmware).
If you are running AOSP base rom, I can't tell.
I think you should buy a new battery.

Try using another rom like los 14.1 or 15.1 with greenify and amplify and also use open gapps pico for minimal battery consumption.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor Note 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

The battery is great after 2 days still 49% and Sreen on 5 hours 38 minutes

Update:
I think you can leave that after almost 3 days

No Problems with the Chinese Rom.All Languages on it and the most China Apps can uninstall or deactivate.The Phone works fine,i am very happy with it.And there is no differenz without Lte Band 20 and H+ Internet Speed.With my wifes Phone with Band 20 is 18 Mbps und the Note 10 15 Mbps with same Network and same Tarif.

It will work in Europe with Lte,only Lte Band 20 (800MHz) is not on Board.On that Regions use Hspa.In all cities Lte works without problems with Band 3 and 7.

okay good to know. Thank you for the info!
i'm still not sure whether lack of band 20 is deal breaker for me. I live in a small city and B20 is very probably what's used here.
it's weird that the cheaper Max 3 has it and this beast doesn't
How are you satisfied in general? with camera and battery life? is the super night mode available on it? (the one that was advertised with p20 pro, if you know what i mean)

Hi,
Have the phone for some days now.
Love it and I think that everything about it is simply amazing... Except one thing : battery life.
The stand by drain is stellar. 100% after 6 hours. Can't be better. And that with Display always on turned on !!!
But as soon as display is active and some slightly more demanding apps are running, battery is melting like snowflakes in summer in Florida !
I'd say under these circumstances SoT will be about 9 or 10 hours... Which is what I'd expect from a 4k or 4k2 battery but not a 5000mAh...
It's not bad really, just a little disappointing ???
EDIT : I confirm that battery life is a real disappointment ! I think with medium use you can't get more than 7/8 hours SoT...
This is to be expected from a phone with 4k mAh battery but I hoped for at least 11 hours from a phone with 5k mAh battery
I guess this will not stay and will be replaced with something else probably a Xiaomi mi max 3 : less performance but people reporting up to 17 hours SoT !
And at least some development and living forum... This seems simply dead

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...

Hi,
Good luck...
As far as I am concerned, I have given up the Honor Note 10. Here are the reasons why :
- zero support from manufacturer... a firmware update every 3 months, but probably none anymore after the third or fourth update ;
- Honor's stupid policy about not allowing to unlock the phone ;
- the result : zero developer interest for this device ;
- dead XDA forum (last post except yours was like 52 hours ago) ;
- people in this channel only supporting EMUI and discouraging any attempt to install anything else on the device...
So I switched to the XCiaomi mi Max 3.
Of course, not the same powerhorse as it only has SD 636, but that is enough for my needs...
And easily unlocked ; Xiaomi releasing a new ROM (beta or stable) every week/month ; devs working to port LAOS to it ; nice people in the XDA forum...
So despite this all, if anyone is interested in buying a Honor Note 10 8/128, I'm selling it
Regards.

Make sure you do a factory reset & set the Pie from Scratch like a new phone...If you have installed it over Oreo without a factory reset, the performance may not be that smooth as some left-over files from Oreo may slow-down your system...Doing a factory reset will improve your battery run time...Mine did...
Before making factory reset, don't forget to do a full system backup using HiSuite...

I got the Supercharger in the box when I imported it from China but because of some Firmware issues, I was not getting the Supercharging speed...At first I thought maybe the charger is bad or slow but then I checked it & it was indeed a Supercharger with 5A...Then I thought maybe my Type C cable is bad...I kept trying & trying but was not being able to get SuperCharging out of it...I was also about the buy a spare SuperCharger but the last official 165 Oreo FW solved my issue automatically...Now my stock charger also completes the charge within 2 hours...And shows SuperCharging always, when I plug my phone to the stock charger...
Using the Ampere app from Playstore, I checked the charging amp & it still varies between 2800-3300 Amp though...I may buy the Spare SuperCharger later just to check if I can get 4000-4500+ Amp charging speed which atleast I should be getting from a 5A charger but since the current charger is doing it's job under 2 hours, I am not much bothered about buying another charger...Maybe later...
