should I downgrade to official 7.0 or stay on beta till 8.0 is released?
I tried beta but wasnt impressed with some of the bugs and battery life, I went back to 7.0 where everything just works and battery is way better, will wait for official beta ROMs,which won't be far away with the official Oreo release sometime this month...I always jumped to early on my other phones, no need to rush though, I just dont think its worth it, am using the extreme debloat ROM from foobar66 and its insane, I get 3 days plus between charges and at least 6 hours SoT I got half this or less on O Beta.

Yes battery life is very poor less than 4 hours SOT with the final beta. And some occasional crashes. Was thinking if going back to official is a better idea. Or wait with beta and receive the official Oreo release one day early. It's ok but not sure how long I might have to live with this battery life:crying:

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.
Does anyone think that there will be a KK rom available for this phone? I am interested to see what the true battery life will be without the LP battery draining bugs. The 4 hours or less SOT that people have been reporting is not acceptable to me, but if there were a KK rom that got 6 hours SOT, I would buy the phone and not have to wait until Google fixes LP or releases MM.

That would be sweet but with marshmallow around the corner I doubt it unless it's plagued even worse. I see the devs working on issues in marshmallow before a kit kat build. But maybe.
Guys, while going through few battery life related threads, I found that APC8 firmware which was released in March 2016 works best on S7 Edge Exynos. I am currently on Nougat. I have following questions :
1) Can I downgrade from Nougat to APC8? What about Knox?
2) What are the major features I am going to loose if compared with last release of MM..?

There's nothing special about APC8. You can ODIN to APC8 yes. You'll lose all features introduced post APC8.
If APC8 was somehow better, you'd see ROMs based on that firmware. Don’t waste your time imho. Cheers

I stick with that firmware since release of the device and loved battery life.
I recently upgraded to nougat and after debloating I get just as good battery life.
So I wouldn't waste your time IMO.
I get about 5-6 hours sot gaming on wifi with ACP8 stock, doesn't seem to stand out compared to others and I'm on exynos
Ironically when I first got Note 7 I was able to game for 9 hours straight with snapdragon so I'll never understand how any of this **** works
Thanks guys for the reply. I found that latest BTU nougat release (DQB3) is giving good standby time.. Didn't check SOT yet as I am not charging my battery upto 100%.. Max is 80%. All firmwares prior to this had deep sleep issues. I will check for few more days..

On latest Nougat
4g all day - 20 hours standby - 4 hours SOT
APC8
4g all day - 32 hour standby - 6 hours SOT
APC8 wins
Do you guys know any good APC8 roms from the past? Hard to find anything after all this time.
I am back to APC8 build after long time. I can easily get 5 to 6 Hours SOT with this. It was only 3 to 4 hours SOT with same usage in recent Nougat build for my region (XSG).
Will continue with APC8 until Oreo release.
Got a new PH-1 coming soon. I'm thinking I'll put it through its paces by installing an alternate ROM from the get-go.
I'm not trying to provoke an argument, but I'd like to hear some reasoned viewpoints on which ROM I should go with for the honeymoon period: stock, Oreo beta, or Lineage?
It's been a while since I've had a phone that was getting a lot of attention from devs, so I feel spoiled for choice.
Thanks!
i'd like to know the same. any opinons folks?
I have tried and confirm all room are working very well, I'm using Oreo now. If you want some more tweak you can try Lineage, for example you can double home icon to turn off screen with Lineage.
Lineage is great, but trying PacRom now and it is buttery smooth with amazing battery life and tons of features.

I am using the Oreo beta with no issues. Phone has been unplugged since 8am, and after 8.5 hours I am still at 93%, so not bad at all. That time includes a few phone calls. I have BT on, and don't see any weird drain...

how so? my SOT is 3 hours vs 6 hours
I didn’t say screen on time. One of the complaints of the beta is battery drain from bt even when idle, and I am not seeing it.
With last official rom i have 7h sot And i have next 20% (brightness) 60% i have hw revision 1.8 i havent got problem with signal always 103- 105 dBm lte+ in Czech it is realy best phone i ever have better then iphone or galaxy s7
Honestly, I play a lot of clash Royale and there's this bug where nothing I do with all the custom ROMs that keeps it from the camera notch obstructing the game and a bottom black bar is added. Even with adjusting it in extended display mode it doesn't work. This keeps me away from the custom ROMs. I've asked people about it and they say they dont have a problem with it, but I think they're lying or dont play full screen games or video

Is this the Nougat Pac Rom from December or is it Oreo? If it's Oreo could you please share a link.

Did you happen to read the date that was posted?
I would do the Oreo Beta myself...been using it with little or no issues. I'm not a heavy screen user most of the time, so I wake up with a full charged battery and go to bed 12-16 hrs later with well over 85% battery most days. The latest build of Oreo (OPM1.180104.092) seems to be quite well behaved.

Haha, too funny, I'm an idiot!! :silly: Got all excited thinking there was another rom out there to try, damn flashaholism!!
Hi,
I have been using this phone for a year now. I really feel we got more preformance after oreo. The phone is pretty smooth after all the hassle. I do think we lost a bit screen on time with the os update. I feel that is many times the price of getting more speed. Anyway i tried for a while my G4 rooted + optimized. My conclusion is that optimized + sabs and non rooted s7 edge is really fast phone. I see no lag. I feel this phone has a year left in it and thats actually impressive knowing its 2,5 years old.
I tried Oreo without factory reset. My experience was that some of the apps did not function well. So i did the factory reset and all works now. I think its only smart move after os update. Now i will just clear system cache after minor fixes.
The last as good deal was lg g2 to me. Love your phone still its in the competition with never phones. After year i bet we see improvements that will make many of us consider changing to a next generation of phones.
Btw. Did anyone else get the stability update after oreo? What do you guys think of it? My feel is that now almost 100% is working and smooth as a butter.

You need to specify what version of the phone you actually have.
Thanks for the comment.

I have moved back to nougat and stayed there for now, i did not mind the cell drain as it still lasted me all day, however i had random reboots as soon as i moved to official Oreo or even custom rom with 8.0 base, did not matter what i did the reboots would get worse over time. I moved back to nougat and not one reboot experienced, Oreo for me is good when it worked and would love to use it but drove me crackers when rebooting. SM-G935F

This is actually intresting. My phone did random screen freeze and couple of reboots in nougat, but on Oreo that is not happening to me.
But i do definetly have the cell drain still after the last update. I kind of woke up by the fact that i have lost about 1h screen on time. Yes i am a heavy user so thats the first que for something is eating the battery.
What kind of cycle your battery lasts average and how is your SOT on nougat? My is average 27hours on time hours and sot 5-6 hours

I am unable to advise you on SOT as i don't monitor this, i am running a custom rom with nougat base (Sac23 S8 port) i have a battery life of between 29 and 32 hours, never really goes past 40% remaining at the end of the day.
