What makes Android System take up 45 percent of battery. This is a new note 7 T-Mobile.

Was your Note 7 doing a restore of apps and settings from a previous account or deivce?

It can take a day or two to completely settle. Samsung's software also will try to optimize apps and battery usage.

Sometimes, if a app is used to restore apps, app data, settings, etc, things get kind of screwy.

I always start off with a factory reset. The only data I restore is my text messages. I let google install my apps so I know it's clean.

How do you backup text messages?

The percentage of battery use often isn't as important as your overall battery life. If you're not using the phone that much, then Android System or OS will end up using a higher percentage of what little battery has been used, since nothing else is active to use it. Are you experiencing poor battery life?

Why would the OS be using battery power if you're not doing anything on the phone?

I just use the Samsung cloud. It does a really good job. I back everything up but only restore the messages.

Is that under settings, accounts? I see samsung, with option to sync.
Sorry I'm using back up phone s5.
Waiting for local att to start selling note again.

Thanks

Mines a T-Mobile device and it's under Settings > Cloud and Accounts > Samsung Cloud.

Thanks, I guess since I'm not using note yet, mine will be different.
Sure hope they have them for sale soon.

The phone is never going to be 100% idle just because it's not being used. The system is still active to a certain extent in the background.
