Samsung galaxy s7 weird battery life

[deadpixel188]

I lost 19% in one hour of screen on time

How long does the battery last before the phone actually shuts down automatically? Does the battery curve suddenly start falling steeply towards the end, or does it suddenly shut off from low battery while the level is still reading 30-40%?

No i tested it today and i got about 6hours of screen on time

Pretty good battery life! Are you saying it's weird that you're getting this much? Were you primarily watching YouTube? If you just do one activity the whole time, the battery life tends to be better, because you're not expending more energy opening and closing apps. That's how the battery life tests that reviewers use yield such good numbers -- they're just turning on a video nonstop and leaving the phone alone until it runs out of battery, which is not exactly real-world usage.

Depends on what you were doing in that one hour. 19% in one hour is pretty normal if you were playing a game like War Robots on a 4G connection.

When i go on my phone i see the % draining fast but then i get about 6hours of sot and idk if it's a software mistake because like a month ago i took it back to the store cuz it had the pink line and they said it was a software mistake and they only replaced the software so idk if this software is draining quicker

And a few days ago when i was listening to music a crackling sound appeared and i was forced to reset the phone and now i feel like its coming back

Sorry, all I can say is that the battery life in those screenshots is pretty darned good.
