So I recently bought an s7 edge from Verizon and it has horrible battery life compared to other people with the same phone. I went to Verizon with this issue and all they did was give me another phone in exchange for the previous one but that did not help. Sometimes the battery drops 12 percent on standby overnight. I have found a few apps which have been draining my battery but I unfortunately cannot disable them: gear vr service, help, and knox use over 12 percent of battery each. I wish I could root the phone but no roots are out for the snapdragon version. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Can't you just use disabler pro to disable those apps

Im really amazed how people just go to lets say phone provider and say that they dont like the phone and they get a new one . In Poland I think this kind of thing just wouldnt work. Especially that at the moment this phone is sold out and i was luck to get mine so fast.

I'll try that
Factory reset?
Yea try as mentioned above to disable them otherwise boot in to recovery and factory reset the phone, or perhaps to start out you can try to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery

I don't think using location is what is causing my battery drain because like I stated before my friend also has the same phone but on a different carrier and even with heavy usage his phone battery life is amazing. But I will see which apps do use location a lot.

Yah I saw it before
Do you have AOD on at night? That will burn through some battery.
Those three apps are interesting. How did you determine they're using a lot of battery?
When I look at them in the application manager each one says it's used 17% of battery since the phone was fully charged (24 hours ago). But that can't be accurate. Added together, they'd use more than 50% of my battery capacity, but they don't show up as individual apps in my battery stats, and the largest user (Android System) only used 30%.
Can you post some screen captures of the battery usage screen showing the apps using data? You might also try force charging to 100%, then force closing those apps, and see if there's any impact on battery life. If not, then it might be worth trying Package Disabler Pro. But most Edge owners seem to be getting good battery life, so I don't think that should be necessary.
I am getting the same drain (S7 edge verizon). It only drains my battery at my dorm wifi and when I go home it's fine. I don't think it's a Samsung issue since my LG G3 with a 6500mah battery can't even last two days on standby.

Hello everyone, i purchased my Nexus 7 and it arrived in the mail 3 days ago. And as with every other Android device ive ever owned, the batter is absolutely terrible. I get about 2hrs on screen time when browing the web and maybe playing an occasional game. Does anyone have any idea whats going on? Or have any way to help? Thanks so much
That is pretty bad. Try a factory reset. Might be something you installed.
I'd hate to do a factory reset cause I just barely got it set up but..I'll try it anyway tonight

Doing a factory reset before installing anything is becoming the gold standard.
Hope it helps you.
I get between 7-9 hours of active use. Sounds like some process is running amok on yours. I didn't factory reset when I bought it either....though I have rooted it since then, but battery life is about the same pre and post root.
You might want to consider a program to monitor battery use to see what's eating it up. Maybe do that before you factory reset it so you don't install the same thing again.

System panel is a good app to find what's using your CPU and better batterystats can help find what's keeping your phone from going to deep sleep. An easy way to see if this is the case is go into battery setting and select the first option(history details). Compare the Awake bar with the screen on bar. Those two should be nearly identical if not then you have a rogue app.

have you flashed any kernels or roms? sometimes this makes the tablet report the wrong battery stats for a bit.
did you run the battery down until it turns off and then give it a full charge? sometimes you have more juice than what is being reported. ive been stuck at 1-2% for over an hour before. Most likely its a rogue app though, system panel and better batterystats should find out what app it is. if they dont then it could be that you have a defective battery...
Been on mine continuously for 3 hrs 18 mins and at 60%. Excellent if you ask me. Next step up in battery life would be Transformer series with dock.

Quite the opposite for me; unlike every other Android device I've had (Nexus One, GS2) the battery life is excellent. I watched 720p mkv video on the train yesterday for a good 3 hours, and still had ~70% by the time I got home, from a full charge.
The battery life is excellent, as far as I'm concerned.

Don't think you needed to calibrate the battery to begin with. I usually get fine battery life without doing anything special.
Something must be causing the poor battery on your Nexus, Yesterday after my N7 was fully charged, I watched the movie Thor for 1hr and 54 minutes n and my battery only dropped to 83%.
I'm at 16 hours and 52 minutes with 3 hours and 44 minutes of on screen time, the battery is at 51%

My N7 is completely stock and has never been rooted. I also did do a couple charge cycles which didn't seem to help much. And better batterystats has AudioOut_2 at 38% (while I'm playing music) but other than that it doesn't seem to be a rogue app

Unless you listen to music for over 5 hours or streaming the songs it shouldnt use that much battery. If you can't find a wakelock with better battery stats then it might just be a bad unit.
is my battery damaged ? I have tried many ROMs and on all of them I'm having a very bad battery life. I have everything turned off and my brightness is 0% and the battery drains super fast. what should I do ?
1. Do factory reset
2. Exchange the phone if option 1 doesn't work...good working G2s don't perform like your phone is @ the moment

What's the problem with that exactly? (Most issues with battery life are user problems - usually a poor wipe / flash regime and using poor quality apps and heavy syncing. I assume you have used the usual wakelock detection procedures).

1% / 3mins sounds like 5 hours on battery to me. Reasonable, but not great.
Depends if you have your screen on during that time or not, and what brightness, and what tasks it is doing. If that is screen off at all, then it's horrible. If full brightness screen-on for the whole time, then it's ok.

If your phone is the international version, you have the option to buy a new battery And swap it out. I would try this since batteries are pretty cheap at the moment.
If it still drains after all these things only then do I recommend you return the phone for a new one

Culd be som app running that is draining it.
Install a battery monitor. Like gsam then u can see what's drainimg the battery.
Try delete google+. Giving a lot wakelocks. If u are rooted install wakelock detector and let it run 2 or 3 hours and see if its under 20%

I would suggest to stop draining processes first. If stopping it doesn't cause any problems i would rather freeze than delet it.
But if it's caused by a ****ty app you downloaded, delete it right away.
if none works, get warranty

Hey all i have a question can you all show me which your screen on time is that you will get usually with the stock battery? Thx to all in this thread who post their stats
Hey guys,
I've joined the club and bought an Axon 7 A2017G.
In my first 2 days of usage, I noticed I needed to charge the phone at least twice per day.
After reading quite a few threads about this issue, I installed GSam battery monitor. It lists my SOT as 1hr 13 minutes, and battery life at 10 hours.
At turning just about everything off, installing Greenify and applying aggressive doze, I was no longer getting a wakelock.
I have however found that GSam shows that my screen is discharging over twice as much battery power, as compared to having the screen on.
I was wondering if this was normal, and if not, any suggestions in increasing battery life?
Not normal try a reset.
Something keeping the phone awake, haven't used gsam in ages.. betterbatterystats is far superior in helping track down what's keeping it awake but requires root.
You can use this app to access original battery stat. Works very well.

I'll try that next. I've just completed a factory reset, so hopefully that helps out.
I found it quite strange that Screen Off used more power (52%) than Screen on (20%).
GSam didn't report any wakelock, and the phone was in doze quite often.
Seems that the factory reset has done the trick.
Now trickle re-installing apps.
Fingers crossed that battery usage stays relatively normal.

How's the battery performing now?
Mine seems mediocre. After charging overnight I usually need to charge in the evening. I get about 10hrs per charge with 2-2.5hrs SoT. Are you getting better results than this after the FR?
Thanks!

As GSam hasn't gotten all required data yet, I will go off what Android reports.
I have used 30% of my battery in 9 hours, with approximately the screen on for 3 hours. Bear in mind that I've had wifi on for approximately 5 hours with a mixture of screen on and off.
Just having a stab in the dark here, but, two apps that I haven't redownloaded are Swiftkey and Nova Launcher. Instead I installed GBoard and Google Launcher. Don't know if that had mde any difference.
So yes, far better results after the FR

I've been using cm13 and sometimes Android system drains too much, so I will go to TWRP and wipe dalvik cache and it greatly improves battery life. Takes 20 minutes, but is great for getting 5.5 hrs sot.
Hey Everyone,
Can someone please tell me what's draining my battery? I used 32% of battery and didnt even get 2 hours of SOT. I do see that my connection is bad.. (at work right now on the 11th FL). I did turn on airplane mode but it seems like the mobile radio wont turn off? Anyone else facing the same issues?
Currently on stock OOS 4.5.14 Kernel- Simplegx Kernel
I don't know. I'm on stock 4.5.14 and stock kernel. I am getting about 9-12 hours of SOT and .3-.6% idle drain for a combined drain average of about 2.2-4.5% an hour depending on medium to heavy use. I don't do anything to crazy with my setup. I just turn off my google account sync unless i add a contact or something then i manually sync them, turn off background data for each app that has no need for background data usage. Work email is on push and personal email is set to fetch every 3 hours.
Seems you're not alone, my 4G+ isnt' great, never seems to connect in the same places my old phone did, and even when it does its nowhere near as fast.
Data is sub-par compared to other devices, it's that simple i've been through every single setting, nothing can change it.
I don't know ow either. I have my OnePlus 5 since a few weeks ago and so far its battery is showing being the best I've ever used till now (I upgraded from a G4+).
I usually get 7-8 hours of SoT with medium usage:
- WhatsApp
- Phoenix (Facebook/Messenger)
- YouTube
- Some gaming (Free Fire Battlegrounds)
- WiFi + 4G+ (switching between them depending on where I am).
I leave home early on morning with full charge and get back with about 30% left.
About the 4G+, it's showing really good here, nothing to complain about it.

right.. and the damn phone radio is ALWAYS active. Even in airplane mode it wont turn off. It's frustrating. I'm trying to locate what is really eating my battery and i dont have a clue.

Are you sure? How do you know? Could that be the settings Mobile Data always on? Or maybe allowing google to scan for networks, allowing apps to use data without permission? Not 100% if it's the phone.
Thinking about that, what if you are actually on a plane lol

Seems average at best. I'm using only a single sim and I don't have SOT like that.

Lol my battery stats say so... and airplane mode is SUPPOSED to shut off mobile data but the radio is still active. It never turns off for me. Idk bro I'm using Gsam to find the stats but I cant find whats going on. Can you take a closer look for me?

Are you using beta or stock? Tried wiping cache? I've seen some reports that after a while cache the battery showed very good.

stock. Inerased cache multiple times. I'm going to reflash OOS and lightning kernel. Hopefully a factory reset will help.
