S7 edge Battery life

[NotoriousNeo]

It's been pretty solid. Over the weekend I got it to last about a day and half with four hours of screen on time. That's a pretty solid showing considering it was also hooked up to a Gear S2 all day Saturday.

What sort of apps/tasks you do disable to save battery life?

 

[kevindharrisii]

Over 11 hours of solid usage.

Anyone with problems sinve the April security update seeing Mediaserver as the culprit? Mine is horrible all of a sudden.

Full stats for today. Still pretty poor even after the factory reset.

Are you Exynos or Snapdragon? If Exynos, it's pretty poor. If SD, looks just a bit below average. On my Sprint GS7E, I get 6 hrs SOT in a 19 hr period.

In comparison to what the phone was like for the first month it's less than 50% of the battery performance.

It's an Exynos.

Yup, Samsung screwed us over. Feels like a switch & bait. My SOT got cut in half too. Before, I could get 3 hrs SOT & still have 50% remaining. It was amazing.

Is there any way to contact Samsung and tell them precisely this? The newest update has tanked my battery to half of what it was for seemingly no reason.

Yep that was similar to mine too. Guaranteed 6½ hours screen time, no matter the use situation. If I was just using the phone to browse the internet on WiFi it would have been up around 9 hours.
Lucky to get 4 now, and in most cases it's under 3.

Really liking the battery life over the 6 edge plus.

 

[clownin72]

Seems like the battery does really well when it's pushed for a long time instead of off and on with the screen. I can live with these stats.

How long does it take after getting the S7 Edge does it take for the battery life to settle down? I just got mine yesterday

Package Disabler allow you to disable processes or apps that the stock app manager is incapable of accomplishing. I love it. My battery lasts me all day into the next after using package Disabler.

I love package disabler. It gave me somewhat ok battery life on the S6. I'm curious to see what it will do on my new S7 Edge

 

[love4speechless]

Wow. High screen on time for only the second ever charge

I have had the same results. Don't know what samsung did but they really messed up...

 

[pjwk81]

Mine's actually getting worse. Yesterday after 4 hours I had 73% remaining but the screen time was only 28 minutes. Android System was at 27% and Play Services at 22%.

Yeah it's way too good, well worth 99 cents. Your battery life will be much better compared to the Galaxy S6. When are you planning on upgrading?
