S7 edge Battery life

[the game 161]

Average screen time for me is 4 hours 30 to over 5

Best I got was over 6 hours

I'm getting really good battery life myself after the first week. Coming home from work with 20% or better remaining, which is almost as good as my M8. No complaints at all.

is always on disabled

Is there a main battery drainer within android system that can be disabled with package disabler or is it a case of disabling lots of things which all add together to improve things?

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?

I got my S7 Edge yesterday

 

[love4speechless]

Should my held awake time be this high?

 

[thegame161]

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.

so what are you getting on average now for a full charge?

It's not the battery on my S7 Edge, it's Cell Standby and some problem with Google's Android system and they must sort this as a priority.

My phone has gone from 100% last night to 75% now (13 hours later) without having used it once. No calls, no texts, no browsing, no games, no music played. It's sat there doing nothing but eat battery.

My Nexus 4 in comparison loses about 4% in the same time period.

Google, sort it.

Or it could be your carrier who should sort it (they won't). I've had two updates since I got the phone last April and battery life hasn't been affected, so if you're using a phone with carrier modified software....

I'm on a sim free version and have had 2 updates since I've had the phone. Battery life has got much worse, mainly due to android system drain I think. So as far as I'm concerned, the updates have made battery life worse!

This is a sim free phone. As is the Nexus 4 with the same company (EE). On the same deal with each sim card.

Cell Standby doesn't even show up on the Nexus 4 battery usage list.

What is the Baseband on your EE branded Galaxy S7 Edge?

What is the Baseband on your unbranded Nexus 4 phone?

 

[Doc Marten]

I don't have a branded phone. They are both sim free. How do I see what each baseband is?

Edge 7 - g935fxxu1apd1

Nexus 4 - m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.07

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

Not an unreasonable SoT considering you didn't turn on the mobile network.

 

[scott_0]

my battery suffered with the latest google now update, google play services drain has been really high

Where did I say it was unreasonable? I was impressed with it

I didn't actually infer that you thought it unreasonable.

Right now on Sprint's April PD3 update, I'm getting about 4.5 to 5.5 hrs of SOT. Before, on the original Feb firmware, I was getting almost exynos-level SOT of 6.5 to 7 hrs SOT.

 

[love4speechless]

Exynos made me glad I live in Australia for once when it comes to technology lol

 

[Doc Marten]

My phone has the Exynos. I'm gonna phone Samsung tomorrow.

Package disabler pro solved the problem by disabling many many services. Not easy to use but no better choice
