Terrible battery life - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

attery life after 7.0 update is terrible, first beta was great I got 6-7 hour of SOT, now I get only 2 hours, what about you guys ? (4G always on, AOD on, internet browsing, messenger, light gaming)

That's suprising. I am getting great battery life since Nougat 7.0
Stock firmware.
Around 110 apps installed
No battery saving apps (such as Greenify).
No apps are optimized for battery saving.
Always on Display enabled.
Auto Brightness Enabled
GPS turned on
Sync turned on

Awesome! It seems some people are just unlucky. Or maybe they have apps using a lot of battery.

lol yeah maybe the guy who posted should drop accu battery app to begin with. :/ don't know.

My battery life is on par with my original March 2016 MM release, which is pretty decent. I did have huge battery season at first on nougat, but removing the built in news app seemed to resolve this. Not sure if that was coincidence though.

Which rom are you guys using? I have 7.0 BTU. Battery life is average, not better than MM. 4.5 hours.

That's obnoxious man. Mine is not even draining 1%/h when it's standby.
Generally I'm so satisfied with s7e battery, whole day with data/WiFi turned on, still remains like 20% when I'm going to bed.

Having the same issue. unplugged at 100% and went to sleep for 5 hours. came back and the phone was at 72%. Not normal at all for me.

standby is great but while using the phone the battery drains a lot more in nougat than marshmallow, even the hd and fhd options seems useless coz they don't help a lot with saving the battery. the moment i unlock my device and start using it the battery starts to drop immediately .may be need to visit service centre.

Using the device for more than 1 hour and its showing 38 minutes moreover no detail of usage is it a bug? Fee minutes ago it was showing correct

My device is - bootloader unlocked, rooted and most of the google apps removed (gmail, google+, voice dailer, few others)

It's mine. Check mail every hour via EDGE and Tasker.
That seems nice, but without the screen on time screenshots these are useless. Please post screen on time always

Cant find any simple way to root.
I am a noob so can't deal with flashing or changing kernels etc and motochopper doesnot work
Although the hours since charge is important too, screen on time is more important. Why don't you people just mention how much you get in your post? It can't be that hard

hey folks! im thinking of getting this phone, I had xperia S and went to an s3 because of horrible battery life on XS so . . Since this phone seems nice and has quite a big battery (2370mah and a smaller screen compared with my s3 2100 and big amoled screen) do you think it will get me satisfied ? I personally love its design (only missing a decent front camera) so . . is it worth the deal? Thanks in advance

There's an app that keep running in the background, waking up the CPU or data, install wakelock detector to find it.
As for me, normally from 100% to 1% I get 6.5 hours on screen time non stop on 3G.
I heard smaller battery in S3, optimus G goes for more.

Battery drain?

So I have verizon version.
I went to bed with 80% on my HTC 10
And 60% on my S7e also verizon version.
I woke up with 63% on HTC 10 and 59% on S7e. Both phone had 30% of android system but for some reason HTC leaked battery.
Idk what is reason for this, fingerprint sensor? Double tap woke up sensor?
Everything from notification panel was turned off

The S7edge has amazing battery for me. Have you updated the S7 edge from the VZW update from last week? It has reduced android system drain.

The new update for the 10 should fix a bunch of issues, not sure when Verizon will release it but the it should be out for the USA unlocked model soon.

Did you root or s-off or anything else? Did you uninstall or disable some apps? I had this problem a few times with my HTC M8... Turns out almost always reason was I disabled or uninstalled some apk which gave phone wakelocks... I had 20+% drain through the night and after I fixed it I had 1% per night (8 hours)... So if you have anything changed, flash stock rom and dont delete anything just wipe dalvik cache and cache.. if problem persist you can try factory reset...
Attached pictures you see what looks like when you have wakelocks and how it should be when phone is in deep sleep... No "Awake" when screen is OFF:
I have a completely stock VZW 10 and I lost 15% over night. I've noticed apps will show in usage that I have never opened, mostly Verizon's junk though.
My unlocked version sleeps like a baby. Might be some Verizon apps draining your batteries. I lose about 3% overnight (about 8 hours)
My battery life is not great so far. 2.5h SOT in 7 hours, down to 40%. What happened to the 2 day battery life promised haha.

Did you fully charge the phone before turning it on? As stated here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/howto/720800.html
"Before you turn on and start using HTC 10, it is recommended that you charge the battery."
Its probably WiFi drain. Firmware 1.30 should fix it.

I certainly didn't do that, but my battery is pretty good so far
This is one of the reasons why I'm scared to turn in my S7E for the HTC10. The S7E just lasts for ever on a charge. Right now I'm getting close to 8 hours SOT with over a days usage and thats with gaming mixed in.
I just don't want to risk only getting half that with the HTC10

HTC 10 will probably never do that. S7E has 3600 mAh battery. 10 is only 3000. I'm very happy with the battery of the 10, but I'm coming from the M9 which has rather poor battery life.

Wi-Fi drain? I'm on 1.21.617.3 and only lose 3-4% overnight (about .5%/hr) with Wi-Fi, bluetooth, NFC all on. There is nothing wrong with the stock build as far as battery drain. I also have not modified any Google backups or apps as far as syncing and backups go.

They originally said by then end of the last week but that did not happen, I hope soon though. You will get the updated directly from HTC, not AT&T. I had the unlocked M9 on AT&T and got the Marshmallow update in December from HTC. They still have not released it on AT&T.

I'm also having battery drain. I got the phone Monday and that night I lost about 35% overnight. I fell asleep listening to music over bluetooth so I thought maybe that was it. Then Tuesday night I charged it fully before bed. I took it off the charger at 100%, turned the screen off, set it down and went to bed. Woke up about 9 hours later and it was at 59%.
Android system was the claimed highest user, but it said it was only awake for 14minutes. The top 3 listed apps were Android system, Google Play Services, and Phone idle.
I lost 1% over 5 hours in extremepower mode

Maybe the same tricks that worked on the S7E will work on the 10.
You guy's should try turning off all usage statistic reporting to Google and HTC.
Also check in the developer options to see if any bloatware processes are constantly running. If you find one then just disable it's package.

Battery drains very quickly

Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.
Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".
This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately
I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.
zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching

Issue??? Most of time, battery drop 1% after i unlock phone and use it a little

Hi people!
I cannot complain about battery life, specially in stand by (i rarely active use the phone), with wifi always active and during day time whatssapp web active in background, after root, naptime to force doze and other optimization here and there, my battery last till 6/8 days (with little screen time, 10/20 minuts/day), lol.
Problem is the screen use a lot of juice, even if i set up brightness around 55% only.
And, more strange, i lost 1% of battery almost all time i unlock the screen and use the phone a little.
I mean, i unlock for example the phone and im 80% battery, in 20/60 seconds will turn to 79%.
I unlock and use a little when is at 56%, after 10/30/60 second, turn to 55%.. and so on...
This happen most of the time i unlock it to check screen and i play around a little checking apps and doing stuff, but no games or heavy apps.
Im in last January oreo patch.
Is a common "issue", if issue can be called?
Is a behavior other mi a1 phone noticed too?
My phone was behaving like this also before root and before use naptime.
Facing same issues
I have notice this too but also 1 restart cost 1% battery life is this normal? So if I continuously restart phone 5 times it will use 5%, is this like this for other phones too I'm not quite sure?
I don't have such issue, I turned on/off 6 times with delay for about 60 sec and it dropped only 1% the first time, and I keep the screen brightness about 70%

OK but this seems more a issue of your phone, not a general, operative system base, battery drain.
And your issue dont have similarities with phenom i described in first post in this topic!
You must check what app/setthing keep your phone awake while in stand by and fix it.

AND it's battery in your "phenom" too.
Or you have a damaged battery.

Turn your brightness down. Check background app usage, customize syncing, freeze or uninstall unused apps/app services. Go easy on data usage in areas with a weak signal. Polling kills your phone quick. Get a portable power supply

Turn your brightness down. Check background app usage, customize syncing, freeze or uninstall unused apps/app services. Go easy on data usage in areas with a weak signal. Polling kills your phone quick. Get a portable power supply

I changed the original battery for another of 7600mah because it had a short duration. now I arrive at 9 hours of screen with the maximum brightness and Wi-Fi on. The only drawback of changing the battery for a bigger one is that the phone gets fatter

Your phone is running stock firmware, right?
My phone is E330S, korean version of s4 LTE A, hardware is the same. And normally I can get > 3h onscreen without gaming (stock firmware).
If you are running AOSP base rom, I can't tell.
I think you should buy a new battery.

Try using another rom like los 14.1 or 15.1 with greenify and amplify and also use open gapps pico for minimal battery consumption.
