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.

I'm on the T-Mobile variant. My battery was amazing the first few days lasting anywhere from 6.6-7.5 hours of SOT. Now Im avereging 5-6 hours of SOT. A lot of Android OS and Android system drainage. I'm not rooted neither. Anyone else?
Did you take the 10i update?

Haven't received it yet. I checked yesterday for updates and nothing popped up. Did you get one?
This is what I have so far
I'm rooted so I'm on 10d for now.
I was hoping you had taken it, because that would've explained the battery. Honestly, though, even 5-6 hours seems like a ton. Maybe you installed something new? I'd recommend GSam, but that doesn't work on Nougat without root.
Screen time, depends on what your doing, and what your connection speed is.
Maybe Google featured apps? Also you may be doing things you weren't doing before on the phone.
Its hard to tell, I wouldn't say you have a drain issue based on previous screen time.
Now if you said, I was getting 6.5 before and now only getting 3 hours, than I'd say there's an issue.
Not sure if it applies. But I noticed some greater than usual battery drain right before my external speaker became all distorted. Since then I've noticed a marked decrease in battery especially standby. Hopefully that will change once I send it in and get it fixed.
Hello,
So I've been wanting to downgrade back to android 4.4.4 mainly for better battery performance, because ever since it went 5.0.1 and up the battery went downhill fast. However, I've been reading that the N910C got a locked bootloader after android 5.1.1, is there anyway to downgrade the bootloader so I could downgrade to android 4.4.4?
Thank you in advance!

My battery is 2 months old, nothing has changed since I replaced my 2 year old original battery with the new one, except the phone doesn't turn off randomly at 30% now.

Turnoff gps,wifi,mobile data, when you are not using phone.
Use dark black wallpaper.
Remove widgets from homescreen.
Use greenify to hibernate apps.

Make sure the new battery is purchased direct from Samsung or a reputable carrier, or get a Powerbear or Anker. Lots of fakes/cheap rubbish about.
I'm on Marshmallow and get 5-6 hours screen on time with WiFi and Bluetooth on all day. 6 month old battery from Samsung UK.

Brand new OEM battery and believe me when I say I tried tu use the damn phone in a most efficient way possible, even airplane mode when not in use, same crap, terrible battery life. When I bought it couple months after release, with 4.4.4 the battery was just amazing, like 10-12 hours of screen on time, now I barely get 2 hours with EVERYTHING on power saving mode and MAX EFFICIENCY use battery wise...

I donno about n910c but i have n910t and i tried every single rom kk lollipop mm maximum screen on time i get 5 hours on kitkat and mm 4.5 hours and the worse is lollipop 3 hours.
I went all the way from 4.4.4 to 6.0.1 update by update as they were rolled out, every single update it got worse and worse, 5.0.1 was just obnoxiously terrible, then 5.1.1 kinda bit better compared to 5.0.1 but still crap, 6.0.1 brought in Doze, but that didn't seem to affect anything too much, so pretty much from 5.0.1 forward, battery is just stupidly terrible, I charge the phone 3 times a day on average...
Hi All,
From Past 2 weeks... am Facing Phone Idle Battery Drain...
I have tried everything.... - Factory Resetting, etc....
The problem even persist in Safe Mode also...
Is it a Hardware issue ? or A Clean system Reflash might help ?
PS: My phone is not rooted.
For me after I'm uninstalling the snaptube, all it's turns normal... Maybe you use some app has draining your battery ?(software)

I also thought the same...But I didn't install any new apps other than Pixel Launcher.... And Now...I Uninstalled it.... Still facing the same problem.
I guess it is just the horrible LG software. I also experienced extreme battery drain in standby and could not figure out why.
I decided to flash the Resurrection Remix ROM onto my LG and look at that... Amazing battery life with the same usage and same apps installed.
My battery now drops 2% over night. With stock it was 9-10%.
I know it might not be the answer you are looking for. All I am saying is: maybe the Oreo update will help for Stock solutions.
There are reports out there that show amazing battery life with stock but they often disable a lot of services which in my eyes is not the purpose of a phone. Other than that... Try your luck with Greenify or something like that (could be hard to reach real results here without root though).

Hmm.... But I hav paid 760$ to buy this phone.... Why Should I settle for less ? If its a budget phone...then Ok...but this is a Flagship Device.... I am going to take this to Service Center. These Battey Problems are irritating me.
As far as I remember, that idle battery drain is known issue in Android 7.0 and our precious G6's have 7.0 and probably will never get 7.1 which has this problem fixed, LG rarely releases incremental updates, mostly only releases new devices with newer software (V30 has 7.1, Q6 also has 7.1 and their battery life is great).
7.0 bug causes "Phone Idle" thingy popping up in battery stats almost always on top, sucking up to 1000+mAh of battery in my case so I have to charge the phone almost every single day which is a little bit frustrating considering phone's battery and that it lies unused for around 8 hours every day as I have to leave my phone in locker room when I'm at work. This is the only thing that I hate in this phone.
We have to wait for Oreo... which also makes me a little bit nervous because 8.0 also has many bugs... Yes, 8.1 is right behind the corner but that strange LG update policy will probably halt our phones on 8.0...

Being able to have numerous apps for different purposes downloaded on your phone is what makes our smartphones so good. However, there may be a few that are resulting in rapid Android OS battery drain., without you even knowing about it.
Try These
Stay in Power Saving Mode
Reduce Display light
Try using the App Greenify, helps you identify which apps are causing battery drain, and put these into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery

Sorry to burst your bubble early, but October Security Update won't change a thing. I've had it for a while and phone idle is still on top of my list for battery draining.
*fingers crossed for Oreo to fix this "bug"*

I guess you are on the Single SIM phone. From what I've been reading here and there, people are saying it is more finished than the DualSIM. Although it has a very aggressive battery saving settings so many of your apps will be terminated while the phone is on idle (apps such as Skype, Signal, WhatsApp etc.) unless you grant them exemption from battery saving.
The SOT is said to be shorter than Nougat.
However, to properly install the OTA you do have to have the factory recovery (not the TWRP).
(I'm on DualSIM and still Nougat so take my words just as a hint.)

I've been on Oreo for a while now and I would say that the battery life got better after a bit of use. Kinda like if the phone had to get used to my usage? Went from 2h SOT to nearly 4 and a half hours SOT. I didn't reset it or anything. Just went with it and it works fine for me. No real increase in power since nougat was already very smooth and powerful for me. I like the design though. Don't regret installing the update:victory:

So, since I've just messed up with my Xposed/Magisk install I think I use the 1st of May for upgrade and tweaks.
Since last update I have been noticing phone not lasting a full 2 days sometimes 2.5.
I also notice the Android System is running at 7% in Device care, that is high.
Can anyone recommend a fix? or any ideas?
Thanks

I would try a factory reset if you haven't done so already. If you do that give it a couple days to settle in after that. Also check your cell signal strength, if it's low that will kill your battery quick. I have the U1 model and the latest update is working fine here.
Thank you. I did that and I am keeping an eye on it. So far it does not look any better yet but I will give it a day or 2.
