Battery q&a - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello guys I just bought s7 edge and I noticed that my phone drains battery while I don't use it. What can I do ? I have disabled gapps which I don't need it clean my ram and I use greenify (unrooted) any ideas?

How much drain are we talking about? Also, Greenify seems to do more harm than good for some users. Are you on exynos or sd820? I would reinstall all the apps you have disabled and see if that's the problem.

Is it an Exynos or a Snapdragon 820 variant ? What is your software version ?

We are talking about the exynos version and it drain about 7 % per 30 min so you suggest to delete greenify?

If your software version ends in APD1 or higher the only option is to downgrade to APC8. Any other measures are not really effective.

I don't want to downgrade any other options without losing my warranty also my software is apd1

You will not lose your warranty when downgrading to an official firmware. My "warranty void" flag is still "0" after downgrading. Your other option is to live with it and hope that a future update solves the issue (I highly doubt it since the SD820 editions had this issue since day 1).

Ok thank you very much ! One more question which case and screen protector you use ?

I suggest you first do this you can first try skipping 1 & 2 and see how it goes.
I have the Exynos with latest APD1 update and nothing changed for me compared to the previous version, with light use I manage 6 days on a charge.

6 days on a single charge?

Flash S6 ROMS on edge

Not sure if anyone knew but thanks to another, I recently discovered that we can run S6 ROMS on our edge and they can run our edge ROMS on their regular S6. You just have to download any one of their roms and then flash your specific device kernel. Right now I'm running the VM rom (found in the S6 forums) on the T-Mobile S6 Edge. First I flashed the ROM through TWRP and then I flashed the T-Mobile S6 edge KERNEL right after and it booted right up. Give it a shot. Don't blame me if you mess up and your phone blows up. Also, make sure your efs is backed up. You never know what can happen to that sensitive partition
UPDATE: THOSE WITH 925T and 925W8 MODELS....if you flash a 920F or I rom, you will not have call audio work. you will not hear the person and they will not hear you. you have to wait until the developer adds support FOR THE 920T and 920W8 MODEL into the rom then we will be able to use it on the 925T and 925W8 models with calls working.
Thanks for the info. When time i will try it. Somehow it makes sense because it has the same specs
Thx for info, i will try when i go back home.
Can confirm using ktoonsez kernel for the s6 edge and XtreSto Lite_G920F.1.0.2 firmware and all working perfectly
And the edge features?

How do the display behave? Does it spread to the edge or does it stop before? Thx

No edge features since the regular s6 doesn't have the edge features but I don't care anyways. I don't use the edge features.

The s6 edge display is pretty much a full display. Everything shows up on it. It's only that the ends are bent but it's one single display. Everything shows up without a problem
Going to try this tonight hope your right lol
Update: everything works without an issue except one thing. Call sounds. Seems when I get a call, I cannot hear the other end. Anyone else have the same issue?

Thank you for the answer. That is a great news as development seems to be more active for the flat s6.
I also would like to know if writings spread on the edges?
Wouldn't this cause the bootloader or modem to change though? Would it be possible to go back to an s6 rom if and when more come, p

Use a custom kernel should have audio in calls. So far been using my phone with s6 rom all day no. Issues at all. Bluetooth wifi calls, music display everything working perfectly! And battery has improved from lack of bloat from custom rom and ktoonsez kernel! Highly recommended trying it out! And my bootloader and modern are unchanged. When flashing custom roms via recovery

How long will it be until we see Note 7 features on the S7 Edge?

Especially the Power Saving mode, with its feature to reduce 1440p to 720p to save on battery. I'm surprised why that hasn't been implemented yet.
Another thing I'd like to see ported is the updated Camera software. Being able to slide from left to right to get the different camera modes, and down to up to change to Selfie, and all that would be nice as well.
What other things would you guys like to see?

I don't know if this is a feature is on the Note 7 but I read that S7/S7 edge that do not have the Snapdragon 820 have an ability to schedule phone reboots. I find that I get better battery life of I reboot my phone every morning. It would be nice to be able to automatically schedule the reboot.

Ah, I'm hoping it would be through an official Samsung firmware update in a way because root isn't cutting it for me with getting huge battery drainage because of the engineering kernel used to get root.
I hear the batteries will start exploding with the next update

What do you prefer s7 or n7

What do you think is better ? and what you prefer ?
S7 or N7 ?
The UI of N7 is really nice, in terms of performance there is not much of a difference, I would take the N7 if I wanted a S Pen otherwise the S7 Edge all day
N7 roms are for me better looking because the ux
I got the S7 Edge for 3 reasons:
1) Smaller phone
2) Slightly bigger battery
3) I never really used the Stylus when I had a Note 3

Same for me. When i had a note i barely used the stylus. If you want to try the Grace UI which is pretty good. you can flash a N7 rom. There is plenty and they are pretty stable.

restricted means, you are not be able to develop binaries and stuff , and you have to wait ages for jailbreak and their updates ! I developed a small app on iOS and if you wanna use it, you have to post it to apple store and you have to wait... meanwhile, if you have android device you can do it easily by switching on "Allow from Unknow Sources".. So, for me iPhone is so restricted..

Opinions on XTweaks Performance Mod

I recently came across this mod on another website and it supposedly incredibly boosts the performance and speed of the device. Did anyone ever try this? And do you think it is safe to use? I am on Renovate Edge ROM and although I take good care of the device, both hardware and software-wise (no bloating, a lot of free storage, no background apps, etc.), it still starts to slow down and lag a bit which really irritates me as I paid a lot of money for this phone.
Any information is appreciated.
p.s. yes, I do reboot my device almost on a daily basis to freshen things up and no, I do not use any "booster" applications that do more harm than good. I've been in the Android scene for years and I'm quite disappointed with the lagginess I face with this phone.
Try LSpeed
@AndrOmega Will do. Thank you!
But wouldn't you say they are both the same? Or perhaps achieve the exact same results with slight differences?

Hi guys im gonna upgrade from note 3 to s6 edge plus .
Im comming from a ported rom from n7 to n3 and im very confortable with her.whatt rom do you advise.
Im from aryamod n7 port
Dont get s6 edge plus. For such a massive screen and only 3000mah battery and tbh I dont really like my phone. go for the s7 edge which has 3500mah with 5.5 inch screen. Much better option.

Romsupport is in my opinion not so good. I don't like ports. And "stock android" (lineage)has just arrived with some bugs. It's good but not flawless.
At this moment there is no up-to-date stock s6 edge plus rom available.
You've been warned

That's what i've said: You have been warned!!!
S6 edge plus is a too bad cellphone. Battery drain is shameful and scandalous (not only in sleep mode as, for instance, call battery drain is about 180 mAh per hour, the double of screen consumption!!!) ,it's a very heavy and fragile cellphone and Samsung firmware support updates is miserable and scandalous bad! Android O 8.0 is coming next month and this premium phone with a very hi price even haven't yet Android nougat 7!!!
DON'T BUY SAMSUNG. Too expensive for the quality and support
I saw that you have your S6. Welcome .
A tip, go flash KHONGLOI-rom. I've flashed it yesterday and it's a really good one!!

I currently have s6 edge plus and have rooted it. I tried installing khongloi s8+ port and for me i got about 2 .5 hour SOT and about 11 hour standby but with dr ketan S8 port with microG I get about 4 hour SOT and about 15 hour standby.I would recommend dr ketan rom if you do get s6 edge plus.
Which version do you have?
I've installed the latest version (7) with kernel V7 and i easily get 4 hours SOT. Need to charge it once a day. With some gaming and youtube.
If you want Dr. Ketan's rom, go to note 5 thread. That version is also suitable for our plus.

I play some very intense 3d games and snapchat. Thats probably why I get such low SOT.
The best Galaxy phone for me! 8 hours of work, few hours of talking, 4-5 days of standby, outstanding display - overall 9/10 points. G935F is better in battery department.

Hi, I just upgraded from note 3 to s6 edge plus few days ago. I must say that I like s6 edge + very much. It takes less space in the pocket. Battery life is very similar to note 3 ,but s6 is much faster. I am fun of CM & linage I have never used stock rom on both devices lol.
I recommend s6 edge plus :good: very nice phone

No nougat rom ever will have xposed until tje xposed dev updates it. And what do you mean by centre clock, torch up and down, and swipe for dialer?
Edit: there is rom control on dr ketan rom but to get full rom control you jidt need to pay 5 usd.
