Bought this branded exynos s7edge 1 month ago. I founded battery problem since day 1. First i noticed huge standby battery drain, something like 15-20% on 6hours. I have read all threads and post on every forum i found on internet and i tried everything.I made lot of wipe cache, factory reset. I disabled lot of function and bloatware with package disabler. I downloaded better battery stats and also wakelock detector lite.I tried lot of other things that now i can't remember. Now the situation has improved but i think there are other issues. The standby drain is 6-10% over night but whatever I do i can't get more than 4 hours sot. Both on 4g or wifi, gaming or web browsing i get the same amount of sot. And my smartphone is something like a piece of wood, no sync, no push emails, no notifications of 90%apps.
4 hrs sot on 4g is good, but on wifi i think is not. iwith the nexus 5 2300mah battery i could do 3hrs on wifi, 3,30 with low usage.
This s7edge costs 2x and got 50%more battery.
I'm starting to think about a hardware problem.
today i got 21hrs from charge, 4 hrs sot, 30min gaming, 20min instagram 15min whatsapp. no calls. 90% under wifi. spent the whole sot time changing settings,looking at photos and doing virtually nothing.
Unfortunately i can't upload bbs screens.
Did u try flashing other rom with Odin? A stock one offcourse
4hrs sot is completely normal on wifi/4g. Want more sot? Turn your brightness to 10%. There's no problem.

- I tried removing a lot of thumbnails to combat the mediaserver drain
- I removed a clock-app that constantly used around 4% cpu
- I tried removing facebook and google now or whatever their weather/intelligent widget is called
- I tried using greenify on everything i could think of.
Today i woke up to a phone that had a depleted its battery more or less overnight with just 30% screen on time.
I did experience the phone lasting 2½ days without a charge during my holidays and that was with 2 hrs screentime and 35% left. That's the kind of performance I'd wish for. The phone is rooted, and I'm using solo launcher, but hardly any customization that aside.
I took SCREENSHOTS of everything that might be important. Maybe you can tell me whats wrong. Under cpu states it says 1khz and only that. Isn't that a bit odd?

IMO that's not too bad I have a 7200 mah battery and it last me about that longs with around 4 hours of SOT, but it seems like your phone might be clocking too high, and brightness might be too high for the screen to be the main suspect like that, with only 30 mins of SOT
I think it's linked to the 3g/4g. If I disable that my phone will last significantly longer. I spend roughly 2 hours on transport a day. Conversely during my holidays it stayed in and around a summerhouse for 2½ days on one charge with 3g with long screen time and camera use. That's a hypothesis at least. Also I didn't use google music or any other audio player at that time.
I can get 2 hrs of SoT, but then I have to actively spend all the battery in the first half of the day, because after a full day the battery will be more or less drained regardless of SoT
If you don't ever use your printing features then i would delete those apps also because the printing service are usually turned on by default and searching for something to connect too or make sure its turned off in your ROMs settings so its not constantly searching.
90% of the time that unexplained battery drain occurs it is caused by low signal and the phone constantly trying to lock on or find a better signal. You can try to decrease this drain by using wifi in low signal areas but your phone will still drain your battery if the voice signal is low to. My phone lasts all day and then some when I'm in good signal coverage. When I go to my brother in law's house which is out in the middle of no where my phone will drain the battery in a matter of hours.
I've had my Note 4 for just over a year, and over the past few months I seem to be getting really bad battery life. Today, for example, I'm at 47% with only an hour of SOT (light stuff, no gaming or GPS).
Not only is my standby time terrible (2-4% per hour), but SOT is insanely bad - when my battery reaches 30-40%, it tanks in less than an hour - the other day, I went from 56% to 12% in 25 minutes!!!!
I'm running stock firmware and kernel, greenify, frozen bloatware, etc. I recently installed Xposed + Amplify to see if that might help, but it doesn't. I'm looking at wakelocks and there isn't anything that looks suspicious. I did, at one point, install a custom kernel and underclocked it, but that made an insignificant difference.
I have two batteries, and the performance is the same, so I know it's not that. I also use my device at the lowest brightness I can - location services are disabled unless I'm driving.
I do a full wipe every time I install a new ROM.
Does anyone know what else it can be? I need the SOT to get back up to 4-6 hours.
Hi,
So I had my phone on repair for the speaker. They repaired it and now it works. I got it back 4 days ago. And apparently (i dont know if this is important for battery) they installed a firmware for Poland on my phone, even though I am not from Poland, but anyways I have it set to my language and all is good.
The thing is, I am not sure how my battery is doing. I was right now on my phone searching for this on the internet (i was using the internet app) and it drained my phone from 53% to 44% in just maybe 15-20 minutes. Is that normal? I think that yesterday or the day before yesterday I had like 4 hours of SOT... When I am reading on the web people are averaging like 6 to even 8 hours. What is even more frustrating for me is that all of those people who get around 7 hours of SOT say that they are heavy users, playing games all day, snapchating, facebooking etc. and they have around 20-30% left by bedtime... Now comparing to my phone either they go to bed at 6 o'clock or my phone is bad. Because at 9 pm i have maybe like 10%. And moreso those people that report 7 hrs of SOT and are saying they are heavye users, they also say that they have Location, Data, Wifi, Sync, NFC, Bluetooth ALWAYS turned on. Me, never have Sync, NFC or Blutetooth on, because i dont need it. I only use Data, Wifi and Location, but i dont have them on all the time, I only turn them on when i need it. For example, if I have avaliable Wifi, I will connect to the wifi and my data wont be turned on. If i want to use google maps, i will turn on data and location, but once i arrive to where i need to, i will turn both off as i do not need them.
So tell me is something wrong with my battery? It is 3 pm now and i am already on 44%. I was home all day, so I did use the phone a bit more, always on Wifi, but i think i didnt use it that much. Could it be the new poland firmware? Cause i think they didnt change my battery in repair. Or is all normal? Or should i give it a few more days, since the phone was factory reset and maybe needs to learn my usage patterns? But shouldn't the phone learn that already? Its been 4 days...And how the heck do i get 7hrs of SOT and 25-30% of battery left when its 9 pm...?
Please please help me solve this.. Tell me nothing is wrong with my phone. I don't want to send it back for repair, because they already had my phone for almost 2 months and I just want to use it finnally as i really like it.
Thanks
Right now my stats are:
Battery at 38%
Total battery usage 6h 56min
Estimated usage time remaining 5hrs and 24 minutes (when i had about 70 % i think this number was 9 hrs)
Recent battery usage list:
the first item on the list is screen --> SOT=3h 40 min, it say next to it 43% and 781mAH.
second is System Android --> it says next to it 16% and then CPU total=1h 58min, CPU foreground 4 min, Stay awake=10min, Data received via WiFi= 1018, Data sent via WiFi=800 and Computed power usage= 297mAH
Then its the Internet app: 10%, CPU total 1h 8min, CPU foreground 12min, data received=76294, data sent=76198, and usage=183mAH
then it's android OS: 7%, CPU total= 51 min, stay awake= 29min, Data recieved= 9401, data sent=10892, usage=140mAH
And then i have boom beach game at 4% and cell stanby at 3% etc. but these are the top 4...
So how's it looking?
And please remember I had wifi on all the time today.. no data or location as i did not need it. and no sync, bluetooth or nfc as i never use those. Its 4 pm right now and jsut writing all this drained 3% from my phone, and if i start using it as a heavy user from this moment i dont think i'd have even 15% left by bedtime. But all the others are reporting of having all nfc, BT, wifi, data, sync turned on and playing games and watching youtube and using FB and snapchat and all these heavy stuff and still have 7hrs SOT and 25% left by bedtime... Oh and i do have FB and Messenger on my phone as well as instagram and snapchat. But i rarely use them. Only for checking our school group on fb, and instagram and snapchat i use even more rarely...
Post a screenshot of the battery usage page?
Here we go. And just before i saw your reply i was browsing again on the forums and my phone got a bit warm and dropped from like 25% to 17% in maybe 20 or 30 minutes of being on forums. And there i hear some people having a 5-10% drop when they watch a whole episode of a series on Netflix or some other video that is 1+ hours long. How?
Oh and ita 6:41 pm and im on 15%. If this was my bedtime it might have been okay but its not haha. And still people are saying they have 25% left by bedtime and here i am at 15% with only wifi on and nothinf else and its like that the whole day. I went to the shop today thats when i disabled wifi and truned on data. Thats all.
Downgraded a few weeks ago to March firmware. Battery life is great again. Had to downgrade because of the high Android System and OS which started occurring after the August patch and got worse with every new patch. Someone with the same problem?
Well i dont really know how to downgrade. And it would probably remove some features wouldnt it? Would you say my android system and os is high? Could it be better with the nougat update when it comes? Anything else that might help?
Right now i am on 8% and 5hrs 51min of SOT. Not even close to those 25% "before bedtime" and not evem close to 7hrs sot or 8 as some report.
And the cpu total of android system is 3hrs
Use ODIN to downgrade to March firmware.
When I used march firmware, Android System and OS were always below 10% - Less than 120mAh
Yes but i dont know how to use odin. I am not really that tech savy. And i heard something about voiding warranty if you fiddle with odin and doing things to your software.
And what do you think of my battery stats, sir? And do you think it might get better when nougat comes (do you think it will drop percentage of android os and system)?
Also how much should AOD and night watch drain your battery? I have aod always on and night clock from 1am to 5am. Today i slept from 1am to 9am and i think it went from 81% to 73%. How much is normal and is my normal?
And right now i have 55% battery and 2hr 45min SOT and the second on the battery usage list is android system at 20%. Everything looking good?
Try turning off Wifi and monitor. It is what causes my battery problem as of the moment and I am currently waiting for Nougat hoping it would fix this. If not, either we downgrade or go for a custom ROM.
SoT is a tough way to measure battery life unless under very closed conditions. The S7E is not a 7-8 hour phone unless you spend all your time in a dark cave with strong cell signal. It isn't usually the individual phones, but the usage and conditions that vary.
Sent from my LEX727 using Tapatalk
Hapibanana,what is monitor? And may i ask how much drain you get from aod and night clock overnight?
And I guess it totaly vary from time to time. Like right now i have 60% battery left, total time usage is only 4hrs 20 minutes and i have only 2hrs of SOT atm. Meaning that i dropped 32% in 4 hrs, of which 2hrs was screen on time. So this time i will probably only get 4hrs of sot in total. I doubt ill have 3hrs of sot by the time i reach 50%. Yet yestrday i had almost 6hrs SOT with 10% left.
I guess it depends on what you do with the phone. If you hardcore surf the web, click a lot of stuff play some games and click some more it drains more than if you just watch a youtube video where you dont click that much. Or i noticed that FB and snapchat take a lot of battery. And when i search forum and write stuff amd have multiple tabs open and change beetween them it also drains quite quickly. Like right now i was on the forums for about half an hour typing and doing some screenshots and editing them and posting them and my phone got pretty hot and it drained from around 71% to 60% which is something i guess. I use internet stock app from samsung btw.
And i also noticed that it drains from 100% to 90% very quickly then from 90% to 50% it drains a bit slower, than from 50% down even slower. I dont know the reason for this but i just noticed.
Just what i noticed.
And yeah i also hope nougat will fix some things and i hope it comes soon as i've read it is really beautiful. I waaaant it noooow
i consider myself a moderate to heavy user based on how i use my phone and up to the point before the phone update with the latest software update, i would try to kill my phone before going to bed after a full days use commencing at 7 am.
Since the January update i now i really noticed it today when my phone was fully charged at 5 am at which point i woke up 1 hr earlier than normal and use the phone for 1 hour and 35 minutes playing games. my phone was down to 5% by 10 am. this has only started happening since the last software update
I've stayed on march firmware since day 1 due to battery drain complaints on other versions. Never had a problem.
Downgrade would appear the only solution for you.

So from 100 to almost 0 in 4 hours Deathsyntch? Thats even worse than what i have. I guess it really is something up with software. I rellay dont want to downgrade as i dont want to mess something up.. Never done it and i am not that good with his stuff. So i just hope thag nougat will maks it better and i hope it comes soon.
I got same issue, seems like normal consumption.
I had a lot of battery drain after the last Google App update.
I disabled Google App and installed the 6.8.23.21 October 2016 version.
Now all ok and I have 6-7 SOT
If you go on google market and check all the comments on Google App you can see a lot of people complaining about battery drain!
I have a feeling that my battery life is way less than it should be. I have a Zerolemon 10,000 mAh battery. Most days I don't use my phone much during the day, except for playing a game for maybe a total of 1h 30m throughout the day. Latest one I've been playing is Fallout Shelter.
So in a full day, 5:40am to 7:00pm, I'm down to literally 20%. It feels like I have a stock battery.
Anyone else experience the same issue? I'm afraid my battery may be defective.
You should check the overall SOT. You should get around 10 hours of SOT with that battery. Of course, if the game is very demanding, the battery will drain much faster., as both the CPU and GPU will use more power.
Normally it should go down 1 % every 10 minutes of SOT (normal usage like browsing) and about 1% every 3 hours of idle.
Yesterday I got about 25 % life, today so far I'm at 55 %. I have not played the game since day before yesterday. You must be right about the demand of the game. The note 3 seems to have a very demanding chipset. Even my 10,000 mAh battery cannot keep up with its demand.
My stock battery gives me arround 4.30h Sot on wifi almost min brightness. Is it normal or defective ?
Firmware is 4.4.2
I'm starting to think this is normal usage on our phones. Today I managed to figure out part of my crazy battery usage. It has to do with a kernel wakelock. Bluesleep is the culprit, causing the phone to never go into deep sleep. I followed the guide in the description of this video and it has allowed my phone to enter deep sleep. I've also been using Juicedefender to manage WiFi, Mobile Data and Bluetooth. With all of this in mind I managed to keep my battery usage in check since a few days ago.
In the picture below you can see the list on the left, and how long each condition has lasted.

It's normal.
What is this eating my battery. Every time its available , i monitor cpu usage and i find it at 100% .happens every few days. A reboot fixes it temporarily
Facing poor battery life since last 3-4 days. I had factory resetted the phone but nothing helped
Earlier I used to get around 6-7 hours of SOT on with wifi on and moderate usage. Now I hardly get around 4.5-5 hours with same usage.
Anyone facing such issue?
Any news that the feb update will solve the battery drain issue?
Same here. I am barely getting 3hrs SOT. 7000000.ssusb is keeping phone awake and it doesn't go in deep sleep mode.
Facing same issue, guessing this device was a wrong choice for me! ?
Mine arrived today. Downloading the 1000mb update. Must be Oreo?
Have you performed procedures to conserve battery life?
How to ... Disable Check Wizard (wi-fi and bluetooth), Disable sending of analyzes to Mi, restrict data usage of apps in the background and remove vibration from the keyboard.
What version of android?
Try to install BBS (better battery stats) to determine what is the cause of your battery drain.
In my case i had activated erroneously wifi scanning under geolocalization option and it's a big battery hog.
Where is that in menu exactly?
assuming you are on android 8 it can be found under geolocalization --> search, while in android 7 it is under geolocalization-->upper right corner three dots-->search
Ps
BBS can be used without root privileges, just read here

Same issue
it went down from 8 hours sot to just barely 5 after oreo downgrade.
I have no issues whatsoever with battery life on this phone. As a matter of fact, I often get over one day's usage out of it.
Run the battery analysis programs instead of whingeing on here.
I have posted screenshot of my problem below. I have flashed ROM multiple times and still the battery drain won't stop. It went away for some days and I was getting 5hrs sot but now again the problem has started. No idea why.

Those pics say you're getting 12 hours of battery since last charge and are at 23%.
Talking about SOT which is way less as i barely used phone. It's basically like battery being drained for no reason at night. Look at system using all the battery.Is that normal?

Install Accu battery from play store then check your notification, normal average consumption between -150 and -400, if more then check the app to see which app drain your battery

I'm using this MiA1 since Sep 2017, and it's flawless with Android 8.1.0 Nov 2018.
You have a BAD OS (Pie), not really suitable for this phone. I'm getting more than 80% of the time (of Screen Off state) as Deep Sleep Mode. Depending on the usage, 80% charged battery is giving me 30-40 hrs with 10% SoT.
Our immature/childish attitude to anything FREE and the LATEST, and greedily grabbing it, makes us miserable.
