Should I do another factory reset? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So the last night I updated my device to the lastest firmware (APD1),had no issues while upgrading, but after the update was installed i didn't give it time to do its magic,I tested it for about 10 mins and no issues actually,then I immediately did factory reset, now I have some minor issues, I feel like swiping the edge panel is not as smooth as before a little bit laggy, and the settings app sometimes takes a while to start so it does not immediately open when I press on it, and the last thing I feel is battery life, well I can not say it's terrible but it's a bit worse than before,so are these issues the consequences of immediately doing factory reset after updating and not giving the update the time to settle? Or what I did is completely safe and these issues are normal? Should I flash the device? Should I do another factory reset?

I can tell you, regarding battery life you will wish you didn't upgrade

LOL, is sammy famous for screwing battery life each update?

Anyone pls answer my questions before my ocd force me to do something reckless and stupid, I haven't enjoyed the phone enough yet

My edge panels are also sticky and often won't slide out with the first swipe. It's driving me insane. My OCD is off the charts right now.

Have you noticed the stubborn panels on your phone too? I thought it was hardware and got a warranty replacement, but new phone is doing it too.

Sprint 2.1 Update issues

I upgraded to the Sprint stock 2.1 update a few days ago. My battery sucks ass, and the whole thing is just slow. My battery lasts maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a day and anytime I make or take a call or msg/email, the phone freezes for a few seconds at a time.
I've looked on here for answers, but it's all scattered and I can't find much that directly addresses it.
Any and all help would be useful. I'm sure rooting and trying something better would be better, but the stock working without issues would be nice. Thanks.
Rooting is out of the question for you since you upgraded stock 2.1 As far as the battery is concerned you should be able to access your battery stats in Settings>About phone> Battery > Battery use. Of course, you should check the battery use after a days use, so basically charge it to full and let it run down then check the stats on the battery and find out what is using it.
The post the results here and we can assist you further.
I think you will see the google maps issue. I looked and found that it was using 91%. I wish I could adb and pull it out...lol
btw I was quite aware of the impact installing the update.
dont worry, the 2.1 stock rom is like a red headed step child, eventually its going to get beaten so dont worry you will be Adb'ing tons of stuff out in the future lol.
So any reasons as to why it runs slow. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have stock/official 2.1 on mine....and mine works faster actually...my messaging client is wicked fast than in 1.5 .....browsing is faster too...overall the lag level is gone down for me.....
Oh and reg battery...I improved my battery by disabling "always on mobile network connection"...that helped the battery a lil bit...
I easily get a day out of my battery...
You should try to reflash and see if it gets better..

Ditto, I dont know if Im a big fan of this update ..
WOW, i have the leaked 2.1 from fresh on my hero and i have no lag and great battery life. Try another radio as i found the new stock one to be pretty bad.
I updated my girlfriend's Hero to 2.1 a few days ago, and she has been less than thrilled with how it is performing and wishes she could go back to 1.5.
She says the battery seems to drain faster, and she has been having issues with the browser (having trouble selecting text boxes because it takes two taps now due to zoom in, regular freeze ups). The messaging icon also keeps reporting that she has one message, only for her to click on it and have nothing.
One thing that hopefully will help though was turning off Latitude. She was just nosing around in Maps one day and activated it but couldn't find where to kill it. Google awkwardly buried the setting to turn it off completely under the "privacy" menu (the forth option).
What's bad is that I tried to save her the trouble of dealing with ROMs and roots and spared her Hero from my experimenting, but so far the official 2.1 seems to have as many issues as a buggy ROM would. It's very frustrating.

Battery has a lot of issues

Hey guys,
I am having a few bugs with the battery indicator on my Tegra Note 7. It is always freezing up at random percentages and does not give an accurate reading. For example it thinks it is at 81% right now, and if I were to reboot it it will only actually be at like, 40%. I was just wondering is this a bug with only my device? Or are other people experiencing the same thing? I'm at thempst recent OTA, but its something I've been experiencing since I first opened it.
Also, like many others have noted, when I updated to Android 4.4.2, the battery seems to drain A LOT faster. Like, its down 10 percent in 30 minutes on balanced battery. These bugs kind of make me want to refund it and buy an nexus 7 instead. I've only had the thing for about 3 days.
Quick update, I'm just about to do a battery calibration to see if this fixes the wrong reading issue. If not it may be a hardware defect.

That's weird, because ever since the latest OTA, my battery life has been stellar! Sitting in standby, it'll go literally a week without a charge, and during use it seems quite reasonable. I wonder if it's because I did a full factory reset after the update... I've had mine since launch, and after so many updates I figured it might be a good idea to do a full reset, and it cleared up a lot of my issues.

That may be a good idea. The reading issue is something that has been going on since the first day I got it. I had to walk to the library to set it up with all my games and such, and the whole time (about two hours) I was there I thought I had a charge 57%. I went home and rebooted to realize the battery was actually only at 8%! Since the calibration, I haven't seen the issue as of yet, and the battery seems to be working a lot better. I may try a factory reset however because I am having a few unrelated touch screen issues and stylus issues.

5.0 battery drain and glitches

My phone was a beast before 5.0 with huge battery life and flawless performance. Now it will hang on screens and the battery is starting to remind me of the S4 Has anyone been able to track down why the battery is draining faster since this update.

my phone is more of a beast after the 5.0 update.. so there is nothing to track down to me.. battery issues seem to be limited to certain ppl and not everyone.. lots are having amazing battery life.. if its not working for you then try installing kk again maybe?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Not my first cruise here. This phone never even glitched before the 5.0, not the same performance or battery since so there is something to track down.
Any change after a factory reset of your phone?
Same issue here after 5.0. Battery drain and phone overheats after a few minutes of use. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
It seems that I am having issues as well. I have tracked the problem down to something in google play services and exchange email sync. My phone battery settings page shows that my phone is always awake.... If I do a factory reset it no longer happens. But as soon as I enable my exchange email it starts to do the same thing. My phone turns in to a nice hand warmer because it gets hot in my pocket and dies in 5 hours or so. Try a factory reset and see if it still is giving you bad battery life.
When I do the factory reset and try to do a restore of all my apps I get the same problem. When I do not restore and set my apps up from scratch it seems to work well until I add exchange email. Ill do some more testing and report back.
I dont use any exchange service just Gmail accounts and they are not on active sync, I have to swipe to sync them. Call me lazy but I dont want to Factory Reset unless its proven that its going to fix it.
Locked up so bad today Had to pull the battery for the first time since I bought it in December
No way to guarantee a FDR will fix your phone. I can tell you that it fixed mine. Battery life was terrible and the phone would get so hot it would go into cool down mode. After a FDR everything is as it should be on 5.0. IMO people should FDR after any system updates as large as the Lollipop update just to make sure all the KK files and data are gone so there are no conflicts.
Amen to what newman said i would factory reset before complaining about problems. I haven't updated to 5.0 yet because i really don't see a reason to just yet but i would definitely factory reset for peace of mind if i did.
I did a factory reset twice and still same problem. Battery drains and overheats. I find it weird that some phones have the problem and some don't.
But it definitely is a problem and I don't really "complain". Some people just ask for help which I don't think is the same as complaining. Like Bobby, I've been doing this for a while. I've been rooting and jacking with android phones since the og Droid.

Yeah i probably shouldn't of said "complained" didn't mean to offend anyone so sorry. Just curious after you factory reset did you give it a few hours to see if the battery drained/overheated before restoring/installing apps or anything else?

No worries man.
No I have not done that but I will try that and see what it does.
I too was a Rom swapper in a previous life but dont have time these days to keep up and needed a rock solid daily driver so I stayed stock on this phone. Please let me know if the reset does fix the issues. I hate to reformat all my stuff again for nothing. What a shame though to fugg up a great phone like this, you would think by now they should have it figured out so this doesn't happen. Or at least leak it early so the rom chefs could have a chance to find the flaws before the release

Rapidly draining battery.
Freezing S Health fixed my drain and heat problems. Seems that it was keeping the phone awake so it could track footsteps in the pedometer..

How did you figure that out.
I played around with s health a bit after loading lolipop, and noticed thats when it heated up on my phone so I froze it in titanium backup, but didn't restart. Apparently the pedometer was still keeping track of the step because it was still running. Restarted the phone and haven't had the issue since.

Im confused, you can use Titanium Bu on a non rooted phone

I Just Do Not Understand...

Maybe I just had really high expectations for this phone, maybe I just got a bad unit or maybe it's just that way.
When I first got my N6P, I had a time flashing it. My computer would freeze and the phone came back saying it was corrupt, then the phone reset itself. The files on my N5 are still on my N5 since it's so painful to transfer files. Here are some problems I'm having.
The Google app is telling me that the app is not compatible with my version of Android. What?? That makes absolutely no sense, and since it isn't compatible, I can't update it. I'm using an LG G Watch, and the device shows it's connected, but I am getting zero notifications on it. I open the Wear app and it tells me to update the Google app. This is where I hit a wall.
Second is Snapchat. I barely use Snapchat, but when I do, the app will not work. It freezes, stutters, lags, and requires a force close always. My Nexus 5 worked absolutely fine.
Third is the camera. The camera, since I rooted just will not open. I've looked up this issue and apparently its common, and flashing vendor.img fixes it. So I downloaded vendor.img and flashed it. I then got an error saying something was wrong internally with my device. Then I downloaded the latest factory image (that I'm on) and flashed that vendor.img instead of the one I downloaded. The error went away and the camera opened. Then that was that, it never opened again. Apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc will not use the camera at all, because I guess the camera API is corrupted. Why does this happen on the 6P after root?
Lastly is the battery life. I'm a college student with bills and have got to wait until next payday to get my phone turned on with service, so I've been using airplane mode with WiFi. Adaptive brightness is off, 20% brightness, NFC, WiFi and Bluetooth scanning is off, GPS off, ambient display is off since I have my watch, and I get almost 3 hours SOT, usually 2.5. Keep in mind, this is in airplane mode! I see people getting 4, 5, and 6+ hours SOT on the forums, saying that everything is turned on and pulling data, etc. This is insanely disappointing to me, as I hoped with the big battery and Marshmallow, it would be more optimized. I paid 700 dollars for this 128GB phone, so I expected the battery to be better than my N5 was back in 2013. Currently I have 87% battery and it's dropping while I'm not using it. I have 18 minutes SOT.
The phone itself though is truly amazing and beautiful. Very premium feeling, very sleek, very thin and light. The front facing speakers BLOWS my mind on how crisp and loud they are. They are wonderful. The display colors and crispness is gorgeous. The fingerprint scanner is really great to have, and the phone is very fast.
I don't know what to do. If I can't get better battery life then I'm going to need to return the phone, even though I sincerely don't want to.
Help with any of these? I really just want better battery from such a premium device and it truly saddens me now.

What are you running. Stock or custom. I am on full stock and don't have any of those issues. I also only plug in my phone about an hour a day and I am a heavy user. It seems you may just have a bad chip though. It happens.

I agree, I wanna say he have a bad unit, I get 4-5 hours of screen on time and I'm on my phone from the minute I get up, until I go to sleep. I'm a really heavy user
so, by the sounds of it, you flashed a bunch of things improperly, and now are wondering why things aren't working?
(before you get sassy, you did flash things imporoperly (comp freezing, phone resetting), because you had some errors, and your vendor was out of date etc.. This isn't an insult, happens to all of us at some point or another)

The device is also now slowing down a bit. The RAM is really being used..

Your phone is just messed up, I'm sure that once you get it completely stock, it'll work better and have a better SOT.
There's been some reports of bluetooth causing wakelocks when using smartwatches.

Not judging. Just confused.
Sounds to me like you've done something to the phone yourself that's causing these problems. Especially the camera not opening, that's a symptom of having the wrong boot.img flashed to the device. Factory resetting won't help if you have the wrong boot.img flashed. You need to flash the factory images to ensure that everything is in line. See my guide for details:

It kinda does make sense, I don't know exactly what you've done to cause these problems but mismatches can affect battery performance. Go back to stock, flash the latest SuperSU beta and nothing else and see how it performs.

Flashed back to complete stock, and rooted. Phone feels faster, camera now works, BUT battery is still not up to par with what others get and reviews say. I can barely get two hours, it's usually around 2:40. I have no rogue apps, I have BBS, and WLD showing nothing out of the ordinary. Normal drainers like scanning is off and I am using greenify. With no luck. Battery life is still just like my N5 when it was brand new in 2013. For a 2015/2016 phone, it's very disappointing.
Anything else you guys would recommend?

With no luck. Battery life is still just like my N5 when it was brand new in 2013. For a 2015/2016 phone, it's very disappointing.
Anything else you guys would recommend?

Uninstall Greenify, it's known for messing up with Doze.
Btw, are you living in a bad reception area? Do you use wifi or 4G most of the time? Brightness?

What should I do....

So I just switched to 7.0 U firmware from 7.0 att.
I have done a lot of stuff to save battery on this phone and still no luck. So far this is what I have today. Not even 2 hours of screen on time and it's almost dead... any helps?
Factory rest and cleared cache several times after switching and no luck
Start the RMA process. You have a bad battery.

From my experience, you could have an app that is doing the dirty deed. Try to factory wipe without restoring apps, do a basic set up and see how it works.
Also, try going back to the stock AT&T release.

It's possible, but the screen shot lists the usual top three suspects and only a couple of hours of SOT is abysmal, even for stock.
It's certainly worth a shot going back to stock and installing nothing but the bare essentials, but I'd say there is a better than average chance the device has a hardware problem with those kinds of numbers.

I would rather keep the u firmware with stuff I need and have bad battery then have stock with nothing on it. I was thinking of going back to stock when I switched to U but only the that held me back ass all the bloatware on att. So should I get a new battery?

IMO, the bloat that is on the stock ROM's are somewhat irrelevant now. You may not be able to un-install it, but you can disable it, and in the grand scheme of things has little impact on the device or performance once that's done. Annoying? YES, but......
I'd say if the U ROM isnt performing, ditch it
Again, In My Opinion

Updated. Have any idea what can cause this?
