Could be worse, but definitely can be improved if Android OS can be controlled...

This is my battery usage from two different instances, battery life has been very good to me on Nougat, however a week ago or so I had to factory reset my phone because "media server" drained my battery very quickly. These screenshots are made after that factory reset.

Can't complain.. it's absolutely better than MM

No unfortunately not. But after a factory reset it never came back in such a huge way, before the factory reset it suddenly appeared on top in the usage list with 45% usage, dropping my phone's battery from 90% to 40% in less than 1 hour.
My settings aren't really special, I only use sync when my phone is charging (regular charging, I don't ever use fast charging), I don't use AOD, Location or NFC, and I have disabled pretty much everything that can be disabled through the phone itself, without using a package disabler. Also, my screen resolution is on 720P.

I love the batterylife on my s7 edge with 7.0 btu. It's way better then mm

Speak for yourself. Many of us have terrible battery drain. Especially in standby mode.
I would like to see it becomes more stabilizing while in stand by mode for snapdragon version.

Crazy how some peeps battery life sucks and some it's great. I've owned pretty much every higher end phone but a Nexus. S7 Edge battery life is the best I've had. Will only get better after a few weeks when I put it down. :laugh:

Agreed. Mine is draining faster today than yesterday.
I got an update today for my AT&T version also. G935AUCS2APC2 is the latest. Android version didn't change, still 6.01
seems like they changed the security settings, now everytime I lock the screen with nova double tap, I need to use the pin my fingerprints wont open it.
I'm still on the old update apparently for AT&T. Even shows me this message when checking for updates.

Additional 2 factor authorization has been enabled since the original firmware. It's nothing new but is very annoying.
My battery has been amazing. On standby I'll keep it unchanged overnight at 100 and when I wake up its around 80-90 not bad for 8 hours stand alone

Very good battery life here, but I am careful with managing the screen back light and adjusting it to deal with the ambient light conditions (not brighter than I need it to be).

Are you aware that you may have phone with cheap, chinese display, for example?
How's that
Key word: refurbished. Unless you are 100% sure it's from manufacturer.
So how do I tell?
The phone is great, battery life is not that good though(stock lollipop). Also the device kida heats.

GS7 Edge getting extremely hot and battery draining very fast. Please Help!

So this morning when I woke up, my phone was extremely warm to the touch and things seemed a little laggy, so I shut the phone down let it cool to room temp and booted it back up a little later. From 100% charge, my phone dropped to 93% in less than 15 min with my phone sleeping. The phone got very warm without any usage at all. I placed my phone into ultra power saving mode, which let the phone cool down and stop draining. After about an hour on back normal mode, I'm already down to 37% and it has only been off the charger for 5.75 hours total.
Check out the usage in my attached jpg image.
What is going on? I'm really worried because at this drainage rate and temperature, I hope it's not doing damage to the battery or internal components.
Mimes do8ng the exact same thing after this last ipdate...anyone...any ideas?
My phone was running great even after the security update that i got on the 27th.
The problem showed up earlier today when the phone updated an Oculus/Gear VR thing, i didnt get a chance to see which one though.

Pretty much the same thing that happened with mine, I figured it was either the update or the oculus update but I'm leaning more towards the firmware update. I usually get around 7hrs of sot and today just under 2hrs of sot!

EZ Disabler (Samsung) $1.49 in the app store. There's a thread on here with instructions.
It's the oculus update. I uninstalled it about an hour ago and my phone has cooled down:

Open up the Oculus app and do the manual update. It should fix it. You may need to restart your phone before trying to do it though.

Official 8.1 is smooth and great battery life

Just got the official 8.1 system update yesterday from the Android beta program on my pixel xl 128gb. It seems to be running smooth no errors so far.
It sure is, except it broke the most useful feature I have, the ability to edit APN. This in turn kills unlimited hotspot with mobile.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Waiting for this. Someone pls share! Very curious how power efficient sd 675 is compared to 660
Great screen on time.
I got around 8hrs of screen on time :victory: . Don't have the screenshot at the moment though. After the recent update all the bugs are solved except the most annoying one... :crying: The earpiece cracking sound on call. Xiaomi confirmed me that they will surely going to solve the issue within a week but don't really know when they really will.

Ty all! Looks like it can average 8-10hrs on moderate/heavy usage and 10+ on light like most of its predecessors except with a noticeably way better gpu. Probably the perfect mid range soc that most users can be satisfied with
Screen on time is only 7 hour in normal use and also high ideal drain (restricted all app in background also).
