Wow that's bad. I play COC, Boom Beach and Clash Royale during breaks on my S7 Edge and average battery life is 16hrs (5hrs SOT) with internet always connected alternating between WiFi and 4G (yes I'm online 24/7).I just got my S7 edge a few days ago and I am very disappointed in the battery life. I can't even get through an 8 hour day at work.... And I'm barely using the phone because Internet is non existent while in the building. So I only use it whole on break or lunch or if I skip away to get a raid in on clash of clans... What gives?
Well, here is a pic off all my apps.... Most of the time I'm on my phone, (when I can get a signal) I'm either playing CoC, or surfing the Web... I do watch a lot of YouTube videos as well. However, as I mentioned before, I don't get a signal at all when at work.... (t-mobile tech support is working on that)
Soni would say that I'm on my phone a total of two hours at work.. 30 min lunch two 15 min. Breaks... Sneaky "bathroom break" to... Etc..
I have never had a phone that could get me through the day... Which is why I always bought a phone with a replaceable battery.. I until now..

Guys, it all depends on how you're using the phone. I have the regular S7, and if you're using it to continuously navigate with GPS enabled on maximum screen brightness, you'll only get about 3-4 hours SOT. If you're using it continuously to run chess engines against each other (or other intensive gaming etc), you'll also only get about 3-4 hours SOT.
But if you're using it to watch video continuously, you'll get over 12 hours SOT easily. I'm currently playing a movie which has been running for over 2 hours, and it's only used 13% battery (no power savers enabled, WiFi is enabled etc). That's about 2 hours of SOT per 10%, which translates to about 20 hours SOT if I watched movie after movie. Now I'm watching it in the dark, so it would be a lot less SOT with maximum brightness, but I would have thought it would still be over 12 hours SOT.
So I think people really need to describe exactly what they are doing with their phones when they post battery times. But I can guarantee that those getting over 5-6 hours SOT are certainly not gaming continuously for 5 hours.
Furthermore, people need to post whether they have Always On Display (AOD) enabled or not. This will give a good reflection of standby times. With AOD disabled, I'm only noticing about 3% drain per eight hours (or about total 0.4% drain per hour). With AOD enabled, I'm noticing double that drain, or about 0.8% per hour. Not huge differences, but it adds up significantly over a day or so. For example, over 24 hours, standby drain would only be about 10% with AOD disabled. With AOD enabled, it would be 20%, which is a significant 10% difference.
What this man said. Exactly my point. If AOD is disabled and i sleep for 8 hours then i loose anywhere between 4-5 % but with A0D enabled then easily 8 -10% loss over 8 hours. AOD isn't that efficient as Samsung would say
Looks just right. Samsung did say that their AOD looks at 1% per hour on initial release. Looks like they lowered it to 0.5% per hour in your case.What this man said. Exactly my point. If AOD is disabled and i sleep for 8 hours then i loose anywhere between 4-5 % but with A0D enabled then easily 8 -10% loss over 8 hours. AOD isn't that efficient as Samsung would say
Just can't make out anything from that photo. Photo doesn't allow us to even zoom. Anyhow, i think your phone is fine. what you need to do is a factory reset. Once you have done this, then disable all the bloatware that you don't need. if you don't mind, then disable AOD also.
Lastly install apps that you only need. If i could see that picture properly then maybe i could point out a rogue app. At work are you on wifi? if not then a bad tmobile signal can make your battery drain like crazy. Post back. Curious to hear and want to help you solve this
