Did you guys flash with odin or did you OTA the N update? If you did OTA I would try totally wiping the phone (factory reset) and then Odin the latest N firmware. There are links for the N firmware in the guides and news section. I usually get 6 to 7.5 hours of SOT on N. I use T-Mobile firmware on my ATT device, wifi tethering works on the TMO firmware with the ATT unlimited data plan [emoji4]

Cmon dude, 6 to 7.5 hours sot? Seems a little far fetched... do you use an extended battery? Do you have a link to the specific setup that you use?

Guess I'm not good enough for a response since I'm just a "junior member" and all, lol... not sure what happened to my account, as i haven't been here for a bit, but I had alot of posts and such, my join date is 2011...
Everyone says I have a battery draining app and I know i do not as I had all the same apps when i first got this phone (ATT s7 FLAT) when the battery was great. The battery has been worse since the first update. I know batteries degrade but not this much. I factory reset and download all my apps again and for one or two days my battery is better. This phone either has a bad battery or the people working on the updates are just not caring as they just let the battery drain. Down to %50 after 30mins of screen usage of just Sync with reddit and 5 hours standby, Android System and OS are draining tons.

I noticed faster battery drain after upgrading to 7.0 but after agressively disabling unused apps with Package Disabler Pro and switching to a black wallpaper and lockscreen my battery life improved noticeably (as well as performance). But if you don't see any improvement with these tweaks then it is possible that you have a bad battery.
I've had an issue where I put my phone on vibrate and an hour later it goes back to sound and vibrate.

Battery Life is Horrible After Updating to Lollipop, Its been only 4 hours and I went from 100% to 34%. Seriously, did T-Mobile upload the wrong update or are they expecting us to "upgrade" to an S6 / S6 Edge? I'm about hop on ODIN to revert back.
Seriously, :crying:
Battery life much improved, here.
^^^ Are you referring to the T-Mobile Note 4 or International?
Either I downgrade and wait for the next update which might take as little as two weeks to up to another 6 months, or I pay developers to get this sorted out, haha.

Never judge battery life after an OS update. You just flashed 15000 files or so. Come back in 4 days then we'll see what battery life really is. There's a lot going on under the hood after writing over 1 Gig of Code.

I cant say the same, battery looks just fine to me even that have passed only 24h from update. And was on full brightness 70% of the time On, and not to mention 1h30mins zynga poker.
If you're rooted, even after the update, you may need to get SE to Permissive. I did that previously when I had bad battery life on a stock (but Canadian) ROM and suddenly, magic.

It's odd that some say it's better and some say it's worse. For me battery life has gone down, not a huge amount, but a noticeable decrease. I'm all stock, not rooted.
Amazing despite all the warnings from the actual AOSP 5.01...all the warnings from sprint, verizon, and ATT users...we are STILL acting like this is some huge surprise and blaming Tmobile...
Never able to achieve 4 hrs sot

Our predictions came to life. Endless bug threads. Most of which are user error. And only one day or even a few hours of use. Sigh. O well
I tried Canadian port and my battery life was way better than KitKat. So far TMo Lolli seems just as good. I am very happy with Lollipop battery life.
38 hours of battery
Mine seems to be working incredibly well, even better than it was on Firekat. I have had it on for 10 hours and it says I still have 1 day 3 hours left.
Steps I took
Updated
Factory Reset
Set up as new device
Formated SD
Rooted and installed TWRP
Setup Greenify
Success
I had terrible battery life when I updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. Tried every trick listed on the Internet. Finally did a factory reset and everything was perfect. Did that from the get-go with my Note 4 and battery life after Lollipop is great. I don't know why the OTA update seems to cause battery problems, but a factory reset was the answer for me, at least on the Note 3. It would be interesting to see how many of those with problems did an update without a reset.
I just noticed that with the new update N910TUVS2EQB1 Google assistant came by default .
My device is not rooted i just updated google app from playstore and it worked.
So happy to see our note 4 still getting new stuff.

Since the last update my battery became literally two times bigger.
As you can see in the attachements, I have exactly 12 hours of SOT.
I have been all day on WhatsApp,in an Android group and 30 minutes added of calling ( not hd ).
What's your sot on the newest update ?
What settings? Official ROM? Kernel? What app Disable? Root?
June security patch?
Yes just stock ROM stock everything. I have disabled every app that I don't use .
do u use fb, messenger, email? and which rom i.e csc do u have?

This is possible if you continuously keep the screen on without doing anything on it. It's what you did too.
Or if it's the other way, seriously, 12 hrs continuously you stared on the screen? (12hr sot in a total of 12.5hours)
well i am getting 3.5-4.5 hr SOT... depends on the wifi vs 4g usage... but usually average 4hrs SOT...

Which applications? Can show a screen, all disabled? Do you use it wathsapp? Is sync enabled?
Here is the xml for all of the things I have disabled.
I have been constantly on Whatsapp.
The sync is turned on 5 minutes every three hours ( via Tasker ).
Location is on with minimal accuracy.

THIS ! exactly this. this is not a real life scenario and im guessing the OP also enabled battery saving mode which means underclocking.
so, stock with disabled apps and only 1 app running and using data and screen continuously on with battery saving on and this is the result, yes it is possible.
I'm more impressed you've managed to stay on your phone for 12 hours out of 12h30min of it actually being turned on...
But to me 12 hours and my phones dead does not seem like a win for me at all.
A stat with 24h on time and around 7-8 sot would be much more impressive.
Anyway the battery is the same as it always has been it's just how you use the phone. (Not security patch)
Speaking of, I haven't received the June OTA yet. Any links to that? I'm on the LUX CSC.

Yes its a nice stat you could probably gain an extra hour+ of SoT from applying a AMOLED friendly black theme/using blacked out apps(facebook,twitter etc) too Only problem is you loose some of the S8 ports beauty...
I'm getting around the same using Ambasadii's S8+ port 5-6 hour SoT but if i theme it black amoled i still have about %30 battery left by the time i go to sleep and put the phone on charge.
Usage is casual ... Xda/whatsapp/facebook/twitter/browser/downloading/PokemonGo

Yeah bro
I am unable to find a theme which turns everything black but also preserve S8+ beauty
Terpischora messes up the Notification panel. I cant read anything from Gmail/Whatsapp and also notifications from other apps.
Do you know any good Themes?
Is Ambasadii S8+ Port good? Heating? Bugs? Stable?
I have downloaded Ambasadii Rom havent flashed it lol.
Renovate s8+ port ROM is stable so didnt flash ambasadii yet.
Also I think There wont be anything new in Custom ROMs except Security patches from now on. Development has reached its peak for S7E. Devs migrated to S8+

They might help with the notifications etc but i dunno about preserving the s8 beauty haha impossible if you go full battery save mode
There the ones i was using.. i aggree the s8ports are kinda at a standstill now only standard bugs like camera faces etc dont get any overheating or battery drain with it seems stable as any other... one of the reason why i swapped it to my primary instead of stock.

Hi, i have noticed that, after the last update on my s8, the battery is performing poorly, before I was having like 20hrs with 6/7 hrs SOT. But now I'm only getting like 8 hours with 3hrs SOT. I've tried to wipe factory reset, but didn't seem to work, I've just wiped the cache, will see how it goes. Did you had any problems with the battery recently
(I'll put the software version)

Hi, I have Samsung SM-G935F Dual sim phone (bought used) and today I replaced it's battery thinking there was an issue with the batter as it was draining like 1% after 3 minutes with SOT but with the replaced battery I have the same effect. Searching through the internet I came to know that this phone has awesome battery backup but I wasn't able to witness it myself so far. The cell is pretty good with screen off but with screen on the battery drains fast. Under heavy usage it lasts for 6-7 hours max. Youtube, Whatsapp, Facebook.
So should I install a custom rom? I don't think so as many people have said this phone's battery time is impressive.
Any feedback would be appreciated. P.s. I'm' on latest Oreo 8.0.0 and I can't get to the battery usage screen either no any other application helps. Thanks in advance. I wasted 7$ on battery already.

S7 Edge has a good battery backup. If you are running stock ROM then your phone should be filled up with bloatware as well. You can give a try by rooting and installing a custom ROM. Even after custom ROM, if your battery drains as before then it could be an hardware issue.

Use odin and flsah TWRP recovery. You will get lots of post when you search in xda forum itself.
Note: First backup your data before doing anything.
