While I love the battery life on this phone, the weak part of the phone is the camera's battery drainage. It drains 1% a minute and compared to other phones I have used (normally 2.5-3 PM) this is waaay too high! anyway to help the battery life stay with the camera?

That looks pretty damn good.
I was just about to post a thread. Something is draining my battery life and causing Android System to be the highest battery usage. Check out below.

Auto brightness.
Not to jack your thread.
But I used my iphone at work to watch videos, ect while there is downtime. I usually watch while it's also on the charger
For the Note series, does anyone know if that "kills" my battery for long term?
I know you can replace battery, but just wondering for future use.
Thanks.
Issue with battery drain due to android system is real
All three people I know that just got the Note 4 were experiencing the same issue I had with excess battery drain with the always generic "android system" taking more battery than anything else including the screen.
I downloaded an app called "System Tuner" and looked the CPU% for Android system and it was a constant 3-4% when the phone was otherwise idle.
I found a post at http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/80459 where they were experiencing the same issue (lose around 12% battery an hour with android system taking a huge chunk of battery). The person from that post was able to address the issue by turning location off, rebooting, turning location on, and rebooting again. After I did this I saw Android system idle at ~0.6% - 1.1% instead. So far I'm getting much better battery life but I'll need to give it some time to know for sure.
Hope this helps!
mine took about 2 full days for everything to finish syncing, downloading, indexing, etc. I had books, news articles, pinned music from google play, etc.
Once that happened, everything is now "normalized" and I'm getting better battery life than I was with the note 3.

Short answer: Maybe, it depends on how you are doing it. Using it while it is charging is not necessarily bad but watching videos and keeping it plugged in while the cell voltage is pegged at 100% will likely deteriorate your battery faster.
Long answer + tips:
Lithium ion batteries are great - they are light, can be made very thin and have excellent energy density but they are also very finiky.
Things to avoid doing with a lithium ion battery
-Charging to 100%, leaving it plugged in overnight is a poor practice(high cell voltages reduce the service life*, stopping the charge at 90%[4.10v] can double the service life, stopping the charge at 80%[4.00v] can quadruple the service life.*)
- Discharging the battery to below ~20% (Li-Ion batteries are somewhat sensitive to deep discharges)
-Charging/exposing Li-Ion to elevated temps or below freezing.
*service life is defined by when a battery can only retain 70% of its rated capacity. Most consumer batteries used in mobile devices have a service life of 500 charge discharge cycles.
It is not uncommon for batteries to lose 30% capacity in 1.5 years or less. Changing your charging and handling habits can double or quadruple a batteries life span.

LOL your picture took up have my damn screen on my 1080p laptop with 15.7 in screen. It was crystal clear too.
On my 2nd charge, auto brightness. Pretty freakin' amazing battery life....
15.5 hours off the charger with 8+ screen on time!
I got awful battery life on the first charge cycle. It drained 50% overnight. 2nd charge has lasted amazingly long and I still have 64% after 12hrs of average use.
First charge. Battery life has been phenomenal. Brightness on auto.
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Did u use any power saving features to achieve that time?
Definitely improve battery with recent update and I'm a power user
After the latest update
I dont know why but my phone goes from 100-90 in less than a hr with minimal use while the screen is set at auto, also in the leaving it unplugged in the night the battery also drains like 5 points.
I've been at full brightness and using the hell out of it non stop so far, and I'm at 35% with screen on time at 3hrs 40 min.

I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

Wuuuuuut, 7hrs is astonishing
I also got couple days ago almost same. It was 6hours and still 28% battery left. WiFi & BT off, GPS at battery saver mode. Power consumption mode was performance and using LTE/4G. Lot of better than example Huawei P9.

ATM You can calculate from that what it would be @0% Its insane... And only using 4G, no WiFi at all.. Signals are 2-3 bars so not evem best signals, lol. I though Samsung Galaxy S7 had great battery but this is insane. Im using Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Chrome etc. All are battery eaters and still... Thanks Huawei!

I dont know either. Im really suprised. Havent ever seen phone with 3000mah battery and this great battery life. Dont know how much better is Li-Po battery than Li-Ion. Manufacters started using Li-Po's on this year after Q1/2. Ofcourse i think that newer battery type (Li-Po) would be also better but questions is how much better it is on paper?

Also this phone only drops 1% battery over night... my Galaxy S7 used to drop like 8% overnight! This phone has an AMAZING battery! but just so you know this all depends how you use the phone, so if you game all day your battery definitely won't last 7 hours lol

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.
Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.
I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome
how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

I could barely make it over 3 hours SOT with 13 hours off the charger.

You're the only one with 3h SOT, an app is draining your battery.
Overnight test with ultra mode resulted in 0% drop by the morning.

Wooow, that's amazing :laugh:
I've had the phone just a week and if I am using heavy then the battery is pretty good, lasts 4 hours plus. Better than my G5.
However, if I am barely using and only sending the occasional WhatsApp and not much else, then the battery doesn't seem to last as long, for example it drained to 50% today with very little use, only 1 hour of SOT. Wifi and location were on, but Bluetooth off.
I've taken some screenshots of battery stars with gSam. Could someone help me decipher what is causing the drain? Or if this is normal behaviour?
Everyone is saying that this phone has amazing standby battery life because of 7.0, Doze, etc. So I am confused!

Looks like you have something running in The background keeping it from falling into deep sleep which is why. Unfortunately I suck @ troubleshooting these kinds of scenarios. My guess would be a Google service of some type. My brother had a problem with Gmail one time that was draining his battery while the phone was in sleep
Post your battery life at full charge
24hours 45min, 5hours light, 18hours idle
What is your battery life?
There is a dedicated battery life thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/battery-life-discussion-t3316305/page84
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?
What's the best ROM for battery life, with no noticeable battery drain?
Unlocked and rooted.
My current ROM (AICP) drains the battery right in front of my eyes. In 4-6 hours it's dead.

Most of the time it's not necessarily the rom, but the apps. Only things like network standby are rom-specific. Can you post pics of your battery stats page?
