I got the update today, glad to finally see a backup/restore feature! The samsung cloud and gallery update are very Apple like but I like the implementation. Really happy I made the switch, have embraced the customisation and freedom that Android gives you.

I started with a switch from iPhone to a one plus 3, changed to the s7 and after a couple weeks I couldn't resist the s7 edge! Great handset and for the first time I'm not interested in the Apple event next week!!

Wasn't really "battery tweaks" more tweaking the OS and getting rid of rubbish I never used or wanted. Also put all apps in permanent power saving rather than after 3 days. I turned off Google Now as I find it pointless, only cards I ever got were weather and how long my journey to work is...

Interesting read. I agree with some points, I did have an S7 which, after a little tweaking was giving me a whole days worth of battery even under heavy use. The battery life isn't just great out of the box and coming from iPhone also, I noticed straight away how poor it was. A little research...

Unlocked UK handset (s7e) and still no update....

Yesterday was my best day get and for an unknown unexplainable reason, my doze actually worked!

Have to agree as a recent iPhone convert... I got an S7 after trying a OnePlus 3 which was a great phone also but was too big and the screen quality wasnt great. I decided to try a Samsung for the first time in years and I'm impressed. The screen, SD card and customisation have me wondering why...

Here are some screen shots of a full day, whilst the battery does appear to be good with no real concern about it not lasting all day, I am concerned about the amount of time it's being held awake. It doesn't seem to be entering doze at all.

Yeah that's what I thought, unfortunately I forgot to screen shot the stats before I went to bed last night. I got up and plugged it in this morning and the stats have been reset. It does appear to be staying awake and the doze time is next to nothing which is poor considering how good the...

Yep agree with above, camera is superb and far better in all situations the the camera on my 6s plus it replaced. There is nothing after 2 weeks that I miss about my iphone, I especially don't miss the awful lock screen redesign for iOS 10, I was glad to see the back of that. I'm enjoying...

Ok, so here are some screen shots from Gsam. Can someone let me know what they think because I've never used it before but I can see some really odd stuff straight off the bat. Screen drain, more has drained with the screen off than on!? Am I reading that wrong!? App usage, Microsoft Word is...

Thanks for the info guys, I will post screen shots later tonight once Gsam has had a fill day to monitor. Maybe the brightness is the culprit? I'll certainly try knocking it back a touch but I guess if I'm getting a full day, maybe I shouldn't be so obsessed with SOT!? I didn't care with the...

Hey, I'm new to the S7 and android after years of iPhone ownership. I am generally very happy with the S7 apart from the battery. I have no idea how people are getting 4-5 hours of SOT because I struggle to get 3 or more. I remove the phone from charge on 100% and within 2 hours I've...

For the price the phone is brilliant, feels nice to hold and very well put together... got me wondering why I've been spending £700 a year on a new iPhone 😞

Something is definitely eating your battery! Being new to Android I've struggled a bit with getting the best from the battery! I'm now happy with 4 hours plus SOT every charge, and standby time is brilliant. I go to bed on say 45 percent and usually wake up with 45 or 44. I switch off...
