Re: S7 edge battery issues, drain, gsam reporting 15-25 percent per hour minimal use while on?
I think the app drain is typical, per some shots in this thread from the 3d battery widget app.. you can see 12-15% for generic usage.. and after comparing with some reports from an iphone 6s plus, it sounds as if that level of drain is par..
Whats not so par is the off drain.. granted in my case i have a lot of background tasking going on, keeping it from deep sleep id say.. using 3c, i can see an average of 1.8-3% when its off and been off for awhile.
I can bring it down by 0.5% per hour by turning off the active display and edge features.. of course i could put it in airplane mode and it would barely drain while off at all.
It seems to impossible a task to try to determine what is causing the drain, though things seem to point to the "android os" as being the biggest sucker of battery (common in a lot of threads out there).
I also use adoptable storage (64gb sd card u3 etc).. not sure if thats a factor.
Its either disable half of what makes the phone useful and get better standby life, or live with a 2-3% (best case scenario) drain while off in my case, is my thinking.
