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.

Hey all. I am thinking about getting the note 3.I have always rooted/run custom roms. How is the stock rom on this? Battery life good and everything?
Stock is good. Battery life is about 5-6 hours of screen time with normal use for me, 20 hours in total time on battery. Runs smooth.

I like the touchwiz ROM myself, but that's definately a preference. I get about a day and half of battery.

Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.
Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".
This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately
I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.
zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching
Can anyone suggest a battery friendly ROM here? I'm only getting around 2 hrs screen on time with data/wifi on had to charge 2 times during the day to keep my device alive.
Try changing your battery, you will be satisfied with the result. Cheers

Battery friendly rom is a stock rom .

Only issue is there are barely any batteries available. I was looking for a new battery on Ebay and Amazon, though I could not find any with enough positive ratings/reviews.

I Tried CM Roms not very good on drainage but you seem to have a good battery hrs. Straight wifi/date my note 3 only gets about 2 hrs all on Phronesis/Aryamad 6.5 and Aryamod v2.1
I found AryaMod S7Edge v6.5 to be the best of the lot.
Galaxy S5 port 6.0.1 is the best.

Chemical orientation of battery gets jumbled over time resulting in lesser juice than normal. Hence, it needs rest of a month or two. You better purchase a new battery and give rest to your old battery after charging it to 100% and then keep alternating the new with the old one. Means, keep one battery inside for a month or so then replace it with the other. This way your new and old battery will perform almost identical and their life will prolong as well :fingers-crossed:
Hi !
To make it short , i even downgraded to kitkat , and got my self a new battery , it's a taiwanese battery, couldn't find authentic battery anywhere.
The best sot i could get is like 5-6h ( video playback). Normal usage would get me 2:30h or 3h top
Share your usage please . Im hating this phone
Please delete this. There are numerous threads here about battery life. We don't need more.
The phone is not from yesterday !

My battery life significantly improved when I flashed Lollipop with full data wipe (totally clean fresh install).
There might be certain apps draining your battery.
I'm seeing several issues...
1, Facebook is running.
2. Whatever that Ludo King app is, it is using the majority of your battery.
3. unofficial, non-big brand batteries are always worse.
Try Greenify. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(If you're in the Netherlands, https://www.gsmpunt.nl/ still sells official batteries.)

Ludo King seems to be killing your battery big time.
Try Greenify app. It works amazingly well.
How can you say you cannot find the authentic battery ... ?
You can find the original battery from many ebay vendors
Also in amazon
Im at 64% with 1h sot
It would be nice if you share yours guys
I am on 51% with 4 and a Half hours SOT. I am running Resurrection Remix Nougat V5.8.3, i am using my brand new Note 3 Powerbear Battery from Amazon. I use greenify to hibernate applications running in the background including system apps. I also tweaked my LMK and kernel settings with Kernel Auditor.

5000mAh battery lasting only for 3 hour's. Definitely your battery damaged.
Still more information is needed for assessment.
Provide the below mentioned information
year's you been using this device ?
Do you use any kind of rogue app like facebook ?
provide a screenshot of battery usage.
Are you rooted or have knowledge of using adb ?
Thank you. Have a great time !

Unfortunately the screenshot that you shared provides no data related to app usage.
You can try few things to troubleshoot but it's time consuming. So if you're interested let me know.
