Looks like you'll be reverting if OP is accurate. Hopefully it'll be 7.2 or whatever the newest, most polished version is. The reports of battery drain in 7.0 are going to annoy me to no end after hours of painstakingly optimizing MM for best results

It says december not by december. The way its put simply means the month of December, so we could be looking at December 30th and this would still be technically right. Don't be so quick to call it fake

You think so? I just got my s7 from at&t and it's been a while since I've been on att so I have no clue how long it takes them. I have high hopes it'll be sooner considering Vodafone is testing it right now
Yes you will learn how slow AT&T is with updates on Newer firmware if you just stay. They will be close to Last carrier out with Nougat 7.1.1 next year.

The post was never meant to be accurate, it was an estimated time of arrival. So technically, this isn't fake. It's not the actual update schedule.

If you post something that isn't validated by any real credible source and obviously isn't accurate. That would be considered a fake estimate since the OP actually has no clue when the s7 will get Nougat. Totally agree that the S7 will probably be one of the last to get Nougat given AT&T's track record with its OTA's. My wife has had the S5, S6, & the S7 all of which got updates later than any other variant most of the time. I just bought her the S7 yesterday and it is a nice phone. Though like everyone else: I'm hesitant to even have nougat on it given the battery drain issues as others have stated.

Thank you for correcting me and clarifying that. Since AT&T didn't release the beta, I don't think we should expect the official update to arrive sooner than January because of their notorious update schedule.

I've been running the Verizon version of nougat on my AT&T S7 since early NOV and it's been stellar. Battery lasts much longer when the phone isn't in use (pretty much same drain with screen on.) Aside from a few hiccups here and there, I'd never go back to MM. Only annoying thing is my cell sig will disappear for a couple seconds. Can't wait for the polished version!

Good to know I may actually take the leap on my wife's s7 now. Given with what you said, she may get angry at me though if she gets data loss though lol. When you say your cell signal disappears: I just wanted you to clarify... Does that mean like it physically disappears as in the like the statusbar's physical representation of it, or do you mean as I assume you do, that you intermittently lose data signal while on the move? And if you do lose signal about how often does this happen? And are you roaming as it happens? What are your current settings and does changing any of the settings affect how often you lose you signal? Just trying to get a grasp on it before I mess with my wife's phone lol... She'll kill me if I drop nougat on it and she constantly loses signal lol.
And another question what are your average battery stats? Is it like others have stated? that they can't get it to go past about 10 hours before needing to recharge the phone?

Honestly, at this point I'd just wait until AT&T drops official nougat so all the kinks are worked out. It should be sometime in JAN.
As far as the signal dropping, it's only for few a seconds and it happens both when I'm sitting still in my living room or wondering about. It doesn't interfere with what I'm doing 99% of the time because I'm usually on Wi-Fi anyhow but it may be annoying for someone with a non-technical background. After all, it is a beta!
As far as battery, it's based on my usage. Heavy usage I've drained it in 6 hours. Very light usage I've gone over two days without charging. Battery life is too subjective to measure IMO because we all have different apps, different settings and different usage patterns.
Again, MM works fine for the non technical end user. I'd keep her there if I were you.

Hey Everyone, Updating this post to reflect some new news about my battery life. On day 2 here. It's 2:25 PM in the afternoon and the Green bar has not even dropped from being full.
Now- It's important to note also. I received my phone on Sat at 10:10am. Let my phone go, NEVER charged it all day sat and used it. Let it SIT OVER NIGHT and never charged it.
Used it sunday as well and by the time I plugged it in it was not even yellow it was low, but not yellow and the Battery time said 1 Day and 6 hours and some change.
I think for tonight I'm not going to charge it either because most likely I will be at 80% or something the battery is so insane.. ill go into the next day.. I will post SCREENSHOTS for you guys later if you want.. but this battery life is SUPER amazing...

Maybe it's their Carriers and location?
I know the farther away from a tower you are the more "juice" the radio uses for the signal right? most people on here are over seas right? I live in the US and i'm on ATT living in a major city area.
+1 for great battery life. I'm a heavy user and came home after work and I'm at 40% (7-8pm). My vibrant would usually die by 5.

I got some pretty bad battery life when i had it on the older firmware (would run out after 12 hours)
but now it easily does 12 hours and is at 50%! thats after i updated to the latest fw
Battery life on SGS 2 is the worst i ever seen on any android... or any other phone either..

+1000 when the signal is weak the phone is constantly searching and is trying to "hang on" to the signal harder. I notice this all the time when I am at work in a crappy AT&T reception area in New York City.
I am more and more suspecting my old Captivate had better reception - I never was without signal at work. With SGS2, I sometimes pick the phone up from my desk only to find that there is no signal on it.

What the heck were you doing with it? Admit it, you turned it on and just put it in your curio cabinet behind a glass door, pulled up a chair and stared at it all day with a goofy happy smile on your face.

You may have a dodgy unit...I'm finding the battery life to be significantly better on my SGS2 than my original SGS (running your rom )
I recieved my S2 last weekend from Clove. Initially I thought it wasn't displaying the correct percentage. Turns out, for me, that it was as good as it seemed.
I've never seen such good battery life on a phone.
Currently on AT&T in MA USA, if it helps anyone.

So what did you get in its place?
When it's good, it is REALLY good...
But then suddenly, out of the blue, the battery graph will turn bezerk, and will try to plunge itself to death on the 0% line within about 12 hours...
But as long as the bug hasn't shown up yet: enjoy!
(probably fixable though in the near future, seeing how fast Samsung is already throwing out new firmwares for it...)

Battery Thoughts
Guys,
I have had mine now for a week and have noticed that unless I am in a relatively stable signal area I am only getting about 8-10 hours of reasonable use , which i have to say is absolutely rubbish, however I am swithching to GSM only, a lot more in areas where it would constantly be looking for stronger signals and hey presto 1-2 % per hour ish.
I have tried many combinations of apps removal and the above seems to be the only thing that appears to help.
Anyone have any or similar?

I'm not at all, and i'm here in the US on ATT. I do have that "bug" where it will say 3G then Switch back to H+ a lot back and forth, but even with that the battery life is AMAZING. So i'm thinking that bug isn't effecting things much.
I have NOT rooted my phone yet, and I have not "removed" any of the stocks apps yet.
I do PLAN on doing that, but i have not done so yet, and it's great.
Battery thoughts
I really am thinking that there is no uniform issue that fixes this and some people its great other s rubbish....may there is a dodgy batch of batteries that went out.....
Battery Life- Downs and Ups!
My first thoughts on the battery life were very positive. Almost 10 jours of constant playing and still some juice in the tank.
Then it all went a bit downhill, with it needing charging after just 4hrs. I found that was down to "Tektrak" app, therefore that was uninstalled never to return.
Even running AVG my phone was giving pretty good battery life, certainly a day of fairly heavy use.
I upgraded to the latest official Samsung firmware last week and since then the battery life has been incredible, despite the fact I live & work in dodgy reception areas.
I'm getting over 24hrs even running virus, Lifestyle's Bedside Night Clock overnight and using it quite extensively. It's still at the stage where all the iPhone users want to play with it to see what they're missing too so its on most of the day.
Frankly I can't believe how well it is performing. Don't know what Samsung have done but it seems to work.
Everyone seems to be having mixed reactions to the beattery life. Could possible be the way we use it or maybe faulty devices. But the reactions are almost 50-50 so it would be a disaster if half the number of devices turn out to be faulty.
Well the topic tells pretty everything i used to have no real issues with the battery life of my phone, till i got the kitkat update. Since then as soon sa i turn the screen on i can really see the battery % drop. I mean 1% for minute of usage. And the back turns Hot.
I'm pretty confused since i have not read such kind of problem around here. I already greenified what i can (no root). And hard and chache reset too..
Any other idea about the nature of the issue (9005 model) Tank you!!
You forgot the garlic.
Those Samsung battery draining problems are really getting ridiculous. But what's funny, i owned 5 Samsung phones till now, but never had any issues. I know, I'm not helping...

This is my first samsung device, and actually i was really happy about my battery life and when i got the notification of the 4.4.2 update i was even more happy cause i was sure that it would have improved it even more. LOL.
What amazes me is that even if there's clearly something wrong, and even if the note is a company flagship, there is no plan for a patch -.-

Try a fresh flash and wipe the device, usually fixes it.

A fresh stock flash won't trip Knox no. So long as you are flashing
A)The same firmware
B)Not trying to downgrade
---
Grab the stock ROM you require from one of the threads in the General section of the Note sub forum.
Grab Odin 1.85.
Once you download the .zip file, unzip and you should get an .md5 file around 2GB in size.
Put your phone into download mode, plug into PC, fire up Odin and load the .md5 file into PDA/AP slot. Hit start. Grab a beer and chill until it has finished.
Have a read through the threads with the different ROMs though, sometimes there can be minor issues with file sizes etc which then require a PIT file, but you should be OK tbh

I installed battery doctor and the problem disappeared with a default diagnosis and optimisation. I'm rooted, not sure if that makes any difference.

I'd really like to root my phone and finally have some serious fun with it, but i'm not really a guy who like to take a risk like this.. It's not a budget phone and i do not want to pay for some factory issue, even if this is a real bad move by samsung and i won't ever buy a samsung device again for this reason, but in the meanwhile i have to try to take the best from my unrooted phone.
I've already read the camera issue, my note do not fall into it.. As i said the Phone act very good and is really energy savvy, until i wake up the screen, this literally drinks the battery juice.. 1% per minute! Less or more.. And no matter if i lower the screen brightness.
As soon as i'll have some spare time i'll try that fresh flash procedure

n00b's bro. Mistake, just like allowing them on this forum.
Same as everyone having issues with battery life on the Note 3 /w 4.4.2. All n00bs.
The very fact that n00bs think that Sammy would release a ROM with obvious issues? No. Not going to happen.
The issue lies with the end user. Period.

Yep, join the KitKat bug club. Note 3 users are having horrendous battery drain issues with 4.4 along with wifi instability and cellular network drops. I went through 3 Note 3's until I finally gave up and decided to stick with 4.3, the hassle was not worth it at all.
My battery usage went to crap with Kitkat.

I got this issue and solved it in this way;
let ur phone to discharge ~15% or less
then turn off ur phone and connect it to charger
and let it to charge 100% then turn ur phone on.
It s like re-gauge battery.
there s some apps for it on some laptops but nothing yet for smartPhones

Had to do this with multiple phones before. By doing this and factory resetting I can guarantee you will not have issues with battery drainage.

Then why is mine perfectly fine?
Exact same as Jelly Bean. The radio acts a bit different, battery life is identical.
I still think these are the dreaded PEBKAC error. Or in this case a "PEBPAC" error.
Flashed mine with Odin 3.09... hmm.
So I am new to Smartphones. I have owned maybe 3 or 4 smartphones up to date. I just got a US Cellular Galaxy s4 in Mint Condition. However the Battery is draining 1% Per Minute. I have no clue what to do! I really like this phone but the battery drain is terrible!
I've read countless Forums reporting this issue but no one has a solution. I know the Galaxy s4 is a very outdated device but its all I can afford and its way more than enough for me. Its very nice phone! Can anyone help me?
How about changing the battery?
I did. Still no Good. I am going to take some Screenshots and post them.

- Root it and flash cyanogenmod and as the stock rom as a lot of bloatware and takes a lot of battery .
- Use uninstaller to remove that apps you don't need from cyanogenmod and just have the apps that you use mostly.
- Use battery calibration.
- Use L speed zip.
Hope it works.
Almost 2 hours on battery and you're at 83%. That seems fairly decent.
I mean, I usually get to 50% in 2 hours. 1 if I download stuff over WiFi.
Okay thank you everyone! I will look into this stuff. I never flashed a phone or put a custom rom. I don't even know how that stuff works but I'll watch tutorials on Youtube.
PS Today I did the easiest thing after I saw it on a tutorial. I "Turned Off" A bunch of applications including Google Services and All services related to Google. After doing so I set the Brightness to about 60-50% and the Battery lasted significantly more!
Will look into tutorials on How to Root. Thank you very much!
Would recommend you to turn on Airplane mode (as you don't use cellular?)
Give it a try
Because your battery stats shows a big thick red line, with Airplane mode that red line should be gone

Question. I already turned off Data. I also keep WiFi turned Off unless I plan on connecting. What benefit would it be to enable Airplane Mode?
Thanks!
EDIT: DATA is indeed Turned Off yet the Red Line in Battery still present?! If I do Airplane mode I won't get to use the WiFi at home and I need that.
EDIT: I turned on AIRPLANE mode and Enabled Wifi but DATA Is Still a RED Line? 6:57PM Eastern Time.
THE PHONE IS LASTING LONGER AFTER TURNING OFF APPS!
I spoke with the Original Owner via eBay messages and he assured me that he had NO BATTERY issues with the phone what so ever. The afternoon the phone came in the mail I didn't pay much attention to the battery and used it for a very short time. Next morning the first thing I did since I had read about it Online was to Update the Android Version to Lollipop. It was here when I first noticed the BATTERY issue and if the seller is truthful and he had no issues on the STOCK Kitkat version then it has to be after I updated to Lollipop.
This is the Device Information AFTER the Downgrade back to Kitkat.
I feel like the guy I paid to Downgrade my phone might have installed something wrong? So I am very curious how can I Compare what a Galaxy S4 (SCH-R970) "Device Information" looks like with STOCK Kitkat not the Downgraded Version. I Mean what if he used something wrong? or Changed the "Baseband Version" or "Kernel Version" or "Build Number" or "Hardware Version" from the VANILLA Version. I want to know if there is a way TO LOOK AT A STOCK (SCH-R970) "About Device" Information to compare if there is something wrong or different. VANILLA vs Downgrade
I tried Googling "Galaxy s4 SCH-R970 About Device" But couldn't find anything. I want to see if "About Device" its the same FRESH From the Factory after official Kitkat update not Downgrade Version.
Like I don't know what things are firm and what things are variable and can change like Baseband Version change/kernel version/build number/hardware version. Do those things change when downgrading or are they same as VANILLA/Stock?

According to your battery stat it seems that airplane mode is working but does not improve your battery. I too use my S4 without a sim card and Airplane mode seemed to turn off radio. But I am using a custom rom at the moment, so that might explain the difference between yours and mine...

There is no such thing as "Stock version and downgraded version".
Whatever he flashed came straight from Samsung.
And the info in "about device" changes with each software update, except for the phone model. In other words, I doubt you'll find a comparison with exactly the same info as yours.
As I said, your battery seemed fine to me. I mean, comparing it to mine.
But let me tell you, the screen takes the most battery and having it at maximum brightness (even 50%) doesn't really help with battery. It can also shorten the life span of the screen.
Most people get a screen-on time of 4-5 hours before having to recharge.
If you can reach that, then there's no problem with the phone or the battery.
To check screen-on time, go into the battery graph and select the "screen" entry. It should show a statistic called "Time on". That's the screen-on time.
Don't worry your not alone, all S4 users face this problem :laugh:

Wow that's crazy! I remember one of the first phones I owned was the DROID 2 then the DROID 3 and eventually DROID 4 and then an HTC Rezound <3 Several years ago but I NEVER had any issues like this before. Last Phone I owned before this one was the Galaxy s3 and it did NOT have any issues with battery either! I was just amazed how fast the battery drains on this phone compared to all the other devices I owned. @ 100% this morning @27min 31s My battery was at 94% just from downloading a 45MB app and checking Gmail! Unbelievable!

Or you could just keep the S4 and buy a bigger battery. It's also cheaper.
I kinda doubt you'll find any good devices at 80 dollars.

Maybe. But consider the following:
Most phones don't have a removable batteries anymore. And I'm pretty sure most 2013 phones were the same.
Batteries, over time, lose the ability to hold a charge.
So, buying a phone with a 3 year old non-removable battery wouldn't be very beneficial, in my opinion.
Getting a bigger battery for the S4 does seem like the best option right now.

Okay Good stuff, Thank you!
I have ONE minor (Tiny) Issue hehe.
Google Search Widget does NOT respond typing or Voice command. I can't do VOICE Command for the phone to type what I say.
Does this have something to do with Google Services? because I think I disabled some of them (Turned Off) not sure if that could affect it. What would I enable and where to get this working again? I want the phone to Type what I say for example Say: Google.com or Say: Pizza Hut (Google Search)
These are New things for me and I am glad I can learn about them.

How would anyone tell you what to turn back on if you haven't mentioned what you turned off?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the voice recognition should work right out of the box. But you need the Google app. And have Google Now activated.
Hey all, I just grabbed a 6P off of Cragislist, and coming from a Note 4 that couldn't be rooted I'm happier than a pig in **** about my current ROM Options. I've been out of the ROM scene since my Nexus 5. There's actually so many options I don't know where to start. I feel like a Stock ROM with Pixel stuff baked in. I kinda like the idea of the built in Bluetooth battery levels in Lineage but having a Nexus device it feels silly to go that far from stock. If someone could bring me up to speed on what my options are and help me narrow things down that would be fantastic.
I'd wait a week to make sure the phone works correctly and you get a feel of the phone before installing roms so that you know how to narrow down some issues should they arrive.

i second the poster above me , the phone is a piece of garbage and has MANY issues on stock rom , so good luck to you
i bought mine with the expectation of rooting and installing a custom rom the phone has so MANY issues on stock that you would have to be crazy to fuk around and attempt to put a custom rom on this piece of garbage , the stock MM and N won't even get you 2 hours of SOT
a custom rom will be a nightmare, also many other issues on stock rom , if you enjoy 1/2 hour SOT go for it

well does it get better battery life than stock N or stock MM, because my phone is garbage it will not get more than 2 hours of SOT on either MM or N, i RMA'd the phone , but it does not look like they even touched it, i sent it in with a glass screen protector on it and it came back with it still on , i sent the phone to huawei on MM and it came back on N 7.0
the phone gets better standby now, before on MM it would lose like 65% from when i went to bed to when i woke up , now it gets decent standby time on 7.0 but SOT is even more **** than before , looks like they did nothing to fix my phone so i guess this is the expected battery life , about 2 hour SOT , i see lots of other people complain about this phone SOT too i hate it ,it is absolutely worthless to me, it gets 2 hours of SOT but only if i am doing nothing if i run something demanding it gets hot and dies even sooner , run maps and it dies in less than an hour ,i would never attempt to mod it because
it has so many issues now on just stock
it's a piece of crap
i will probably try to RMA again and huawei will probably jerk me off and wast my time and cause me abother HUGE hassle agains and do fukall again and send me my phone back untouched and keep doing it till they run out the clock on the little left on my warranty , they suck their products sucks and their customer service sucks crap company, crap products

Wasn't on stock very long but my battery life was never that bad (4-5 hrs SoT on N). On DU 11.1 (7.1.1) with Flash kernel I can get 5-7 hrs SoT depending on usage. Idle drain is usually
.2-.5 per hour.

my phone is at 50% right now and it says 10% android system and 10% for android OS , is that normal for it drain 20% for those 2 things? SOT is 1:43 and 10%
also i heard 7.1.1 has major issues and your 6p will eventually get stuck in a boot loop if you ever updated to 7.1.1

Should vary depending on usage. I've noticed that Android OS is usually quite a bit lower than Android system.
I've heard that about 6P and 5x but both have been on 7.1.1 without any issues. My 6P doesn't even have early shutdown (still 99% battery capacity). Don't think every 6P that updated to 7.1.1 will eventually have boot loop of death. Would be bigger issue if that was the case.

Dude, you're just gonna ***** and complain on every thread? Obviously you're phone is borked. RMA, get a new and enjoy or move on to another phone. It's either that or learn how to take care of your battery (know how to operate a phone). My guess, it's user error. some ppl have a few issues here and there but nothing what you're talking about.
Hey, or a 3rd option. You don't even own the phone and are one of those ppl that crave attention bashing stuff you don't even own. That would be soooo sad if that is the case

i can assure you i do own the phone unfortunately
and i did RMA it already and huawei did NOTHING to it they just wasted my time and sent it back to me without doing anything at all to it
all they did was send it back just as i sent it to them and wasted everyones time , it was updated to N 7.0
and they sent me this shiny pen (see pic) , wow
so what should i do then ,go through this BS again and send them my phone back again and get it sent back to me again the same as i gave it again only worse or have them give me another POS that will most definitely have the same issues?how many times will they put me through this ****?
and the phone has had the issues since i unboxed it from day one so i don't know what you mean about taking care of the battery , and what could one even do to get the battery to discharge at a rate 4 times faster than normal in a few months of lite use
huehue way tells me there is nothing wrong with the phone, you tell me there is and i see other people all over the map saying they get 2 hours SOT or can't get 2 hours SOT and others say they get 4 ,5 6, 7,hours i don't know who to believe, the chinese have spies and shills everywhere shilling their crappy products or they just have **** QC

I'd like to second this quote. lol. I sometimes crackflash Roms that aren't stable just in free time and to test things but there are a few I can vouch for that are 100% stable.
My favs and both work 100 are DU and ABCrom. Pure Nexus is also a good one but I stay on either DU or ABC. I can't live without the hold power down for flashlight or double me tap to wake on dose and dt2w lockscreen for screen off. Ugh. Heaven sent. ?
Hey @nameback Glad your back. I had a Hammerhead. Was a damn good device back in the day! Happy flashing. ?This one's far superior.
Don't let all the talk about defective devices get to you. I've had a Nexus 5x since 2 mo the after they came out and this is my 2nd 6p (first one got smashed on a job) and I flash A-LOT and never had either crap out on me... Seems it's just a wild card type deal with defective units. I just looked and mine was made Dec 2016. I hope it's a refurb. At any rate can't do anything about it either way except hit up Hauwei and Google if they do crap out and see what happens. Cheers.
Edit
6p, ABCrom by kantjer
that title makes me think you need therapy
I also want to buy one but I worry about bootloop. Please advise me! Thanks

After your 5 posts, i'm not yet sure i've understood what you're trying to say...
OH, you're saying it's a good phone... Yeah you're right... It's a good phone... :good:
Some people have 6Ps that are lemons but I have never had any serious issues with mine. I'm on Cortex rom with ElementalEx Kernel and get 4 hours sot easily. You have a lot of options but I would stay on stock for at least a few days as previously suggested just to rule out potential problems with your phone. Megapixel was a good rom but I don't think it's being updated anymore so that isn't a good choice. Pure Nexus is heavily hyped and extremely overrated. I've heard good things about Dirty Unicorn but haven't flashed it myself. If you try Cortex I would recommend the January build rather than the current one.
+1 for keeping stock for a few days or even weeks.
I also haven't got any problem either. I've never been able to get under 4h SOT under normal use.
Later, you could try a different kernel. I've been using Flash kernel and I recommend it (and support is great). Have also been running Pixel stuffs but not anymore (launcher and GA but while they worked fine, they were gadgets IMO).
I just picked up used one less then year old. I'll admit was little disappointed in the battery performance but the increased charging rate makes up for my usage. I'm sticking with stock ROM for now rooted, substratum+swift back and Franco kernel.
Well here's where I'm at, this phone is running a TON of custom software already but he didn't tell me what exactly. He has Pixel Launcher, Pixel Boot Animation and TWRP with an unlocked bootloader. I can't use Android Pay because the Bootloader is unlocked. Can I re-lock the bootloader with TWRP installed and just install ROMs with Magisk?

You can't lock the bootloader with a custom recovery. That's pretty much a guaranteed bootloop. If you use Magisk and PhilsSu instead of SuperSU you should be able to use Android Pay. Not sure if the rom you are using makes a difference. I know people have done that successfully on multiple roms. Do you know if you are running a rom or stock with Pixel mods?
Finally got my LG G6 T-Mobile USA yesterday 3/23/2017. Was really excited waiting to get my hands on it since there was no models to view even at the store. All we had were Youtube video's of reviews given to people by LG for free.
My initial impression out of the box was WOW, what a sweet looking device with the glass back, and all around hot look. But once powering it up I was blown back of how narrow the screen was compared to my 5.5" G4. It took a day to get use to this somewhat smaller screen though it suppose to be a 5.7". Aside from that is where it gets good.
LG's 7.0 UI is freaken amazing. You have to use it to appreciate it. I've always been an LG UI fanboy, but this is a whole new level of awesomeness.
Next is finally out of the box wireless charging. No more cheap Chinese sticker mod to use like on my G4. It works flawlessly on my wireless charger. A nice big notification comes on screen when wireless charging starts.
Love also the camera app as it goes in and out of regular mode and wide angle mode on the fly.
There's more to write, but just wanted to put a few notes here of what I though on day 2 of using the G6.
I got it unlocked already really easily. Look in the development section on how to do it.
Any TWRP dev around? Please help us get this to our device please, please, please!!! )))
Edit.....
After a week of usage I decided to return it as I could'nt get used to the smaller narrow screen size. Getting the S8+

@MicroMod777, How's your battery life so far?
For me I was 58% by the end of the day with 2 hours 45 minutes SOT.

It was really good. Doesn't drain as fast as my G4 did. I have a bad habit of plugging in my phones when they hit 90% at work. lol
Btw, loving this bigger vibrate feedback when typing.

Nice. Well, make sure to do a full battery drain and recharge to calibrate. I did that and my battery reading improves.

I though the newer battery technology didn't need that anymore like back in the day. Could be wrong.
Btw, its day 3 now and I've gotten use to the narrower 5.7" display. I also noticed that reading Google News articles seemed loaded up with tons of more news clips when scrolling down. Maybe they just updated the app? lol

As far as the battery technology, yes, they say that, but because the Android OS still needs to calibrate itself, so the battery is not going to calibrate so much, but the Android OS would need that, just like the cache process.
I changed my text size to small, kind of like a smaller dpi and I get tons more stuff on the screen. I am getting used to it that it feels like my OnePlus 3t is awkward.

Ahh that makes sense. I'll see if I can break my bad habbit today of plugging it in at 90%.
Btw, finally no wifi issues like I had on my G4. Everything loads fast with no lag.

Hah - I don't even think I got 3 hours sot total. I am pretty let down by the battery life so far, especially in a world with the mate 9 and mi mix doing 7 hours without breaking a sweat.

Interesting. What I can tell you is that it depends on a lot of things from cellular network, wifi, running apps , and usage generally. I think this phone has 3300 mAh which is not bad compared to most phones. I agree that the software needs to be optimized. I am waiting for root and I'll do greenify and see stuff. With my usage, I'll probably get like 5 hours SOT

Indeed it does, but the way I use my phone isn't changing. I got 7-8 hours easy on the mate, but 2 on the Nexus 6p. What build are you on?

As far as the build, I am stock out of the box. Disabled updates so I didn't take any ota as of yet. not sure if there is even an update! What about you!
i got mine yesterday the 24th of march.
the battery life is good, i used it since i got it without charging it for about 3 for hours downloading apps setting everything up and wasnt draining fast.
i dont really like the front camera, the color is just not to good in my own opinion. back camera is good i like it, no problem.
it does feel narrow comparing it to my g3 yes i upgraded from g3.
i like the features, like fingerprint, etc.
screen look crisp. good, yes.
so thats my day and a half review for now..
Wireless charging
Does the tmobile ver of the lg g6 use a new type of wireless charger? or will my QI charger from my Nexus 5 still work with it?

As far as I'm aware any qi with charger will work but none will do fast charging.

Awesome!
I like the wireless charging because you don’t have to fuss with plug unplug just set it down like normal and it just charges. Mind you with the proper ROM and kernel you can get faster charging [at least on my N5].
Thank you
I've never actually liked LG UI, but I have to say, I really like it this time around. Its just overall very clean looking. It may seem that way to me seeing as I came from an S7 edge and even on Nougat, it was so sloooooow.

Do you have the samsung branded fast charger? The stand or the puck? Ive got a Satachi from Microcenter that does fast charging for the S7 but not the LG. It tells me also to put the phone vertical for faster charging but its a puck so thats not possible.
