Can someone test this for me. My calculator % doesn't calculate correctly.
Example: if i do 100-10% i get answer 99.9 this goes on for any calculation by pressing "%" sign on calculator.
Thank you in advance.

Calculator is correct. Since you didn't specify 10% of what, it takes 10% of 1 which is 0.1 . If you enter 100-10%x100 you will get 90
Thank you, but that defeats the purpose of % sign. By using % it should automatically calculate just like it did in all my other phones.
Hmm, yes, it should automatically calculate the percentage. But somehow that's not how it works in S7.
That's how it goes with regular calculator, I'll test it out with my old S6 later on.
What's the issue?

Yeah, mine does that also. Sucks. Worked on my Note 5. Looks like I'm going to have to download another calculator
I am using a Note5.
You can try. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rahul.material.calculator
I just tested this on my Note 5 and S7 Edge.
Note 5 100-10% = 90
S7 100-10% = 99.9
RealCalc app 100-10% = 90
Seems like the S7 calculator is messed up.
Thanks for pointing this out!

Yes sir. TMo page says shipping on Monday or Tuesday.
All your calculators are wrong. 10% is 0.01 if you don't specify what you are taking the percentage of. 10% of 100 is 10, but 10% of 10 is 1. S7E is correct

Calculator are supposed to makes our life easier, not for technically learning the amount of 10% is 10/100 = 0.1.
If I want to calculate how much is the total after tax of 7% from $100, I want to press 100 plus 7% and it comes out $107, simple as that.
Saying all the other calculator apps and actual real calculator out there is wrong, is just simply ignorance, or maybe you're just joking/trolling or just a tool.

Funny, that little rectangle looking thing setting on my desk that only has one purpose called a calculator has been wrong all these years.
Even a standard real life calculator gives you 90 when you do 100 - 10%. The S7 calculator is wrong in comparison to every other calculator I have seen.
The calculator takes the percentage from the number proceeding it in the calculation. Another example of this is 100+100-10%=190. The 10% is taken only from the number proceeding it and not 200. Now this example is dependent on what calculator you are using. Meaning is it totaling the amount with each step, or taking the entire equation into account first.
While you are correct that 10% alone is .1, that does not or should not apply to the issue here. You ARE telling the calculator what the percentage is based on. Like I said, it bases it off the number proceeding it in the calculation.
Maybe this video will help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8435GhtPRV4
The OP's example is equivalent to the word problem saying what is the cost of a $100 item that has been discounted by 10%. On the calculator you put in 100-10%=90. It really is pretty basic here.
Surprised they included the % function last 2 sammy phones didn't have it. Now if they left the IR blaster too....

Incorrect. To figure out percent using your video, you take the number you want to take 10% from and multiply by 10%. You then subtract the answer from your original number and that is how subtraction of percentage works. If you're going to post a video, make sure it backs up your claim not mine.
Your calculator on your desk may do it that way, but it is incorrect math form. Subtraction is negative addition, that is all. A number can not inherit anything from the previous number in subtraction unless you have parenthesis.
Also, please respond how I'm wrong, but I can't be a part of this conversation anymore, I'm losing too many brain cells trying to figure out how anyone thinks it is mathematically correct to do this.

You are missing the point. The video does show you how to figure out the percentage manually yes. The point of this thread and what everyone else is talking about is what a calculator normally does for you automatically.
Back to the Video, the example is the price you are paying is discounted by 10% of the original price of $110. In the video the answer is $99. I think you understand this part as you said the video backs up what you are saying. The point you are missing here is this. On every calculator out there that I have seen, if you put in 110-10%, you get 99 (The correct answer)! On the S7 calculator, you get 109.9. This is why we are saying the S7 calculator is incorrect, it does not work in the same way as standard calculators do.
I use the app RealCalc for more advance equations when needed and it follows the procedure in the video exactly. I put in 110 -10% and it immediately updates the screen to 11. Like in the video, the calculators are multiplying 110 by .10 in the background but RealCalc is showing you were the others may not. When I then hit the equal sign, the answer is 99. Again, the calculator is smart enough to do this automatically for you, that is what I am talking about here.

I have this issue where I get a battery 10% battery drain within the first half hour of removing my phone from the wall charger. However, after that initial drop, the phone stabilizes and I'm discharging 10% every two hours or so, which seems very reasonable.

I've gone through the apps in SystemPanel and nothing I've found accounts for this daily anomaly. Any thoughts as to what this may be?
I believe the battery decrements are in the 10% scale, meaning, it goes from 100% to 90% to 80%. It doesn't do 99%, 98%, 97%.....etc. So when it jumps to 90% as you are saying, it is most likely at 95% or so, maybe a bit less or more, can't really tell.
That's what I have noticed anyway.....maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Mine does the exact same thing.

That makes sense. Thanks.
How do the 10% increments work? Rounded? Truncated?
Does 90% mean 99 to 90?
Or 94 to 85?

You know...after rethinking this, your explanation doesn't make sense. If we go by this logic, when the phone reaches 89-85%, the display should read 80%. However, that's not happening based on the amount of time it takes the phone to display 80.
If we follow this logic, if the phone reads 0% it cold actually be at 9%.
I'd be willing to bet the phone displays the increments of 10 once it reaches that threshold.
I believe once it reaches the low threshold (25% I believe, not sure though) the decrements change to 5% from 10%....that's what I remember seeing anyway.......just let your battery go really low and see what happens.
I am trying that right now to see if I am remembering correctly.
I am guessing 80% means 81-89%, but I really don't know what scheme Motorola is using to represent battery reserve. Someone has to know, and hopefully they chime in.
You don't expect it to stay at 100% all the time do you? That would just be insane!!!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I am sure no one expects the battery to stay at 100% all the time......but I think we all do, at least I personally expect the read out to be more accurate......there is no reason why the increments shouldn't be 1% instead of 10%.
EDIT:
I didn't notice if the readout went from 30% to 25% to 20% or 30% to 20%, but I did see that it went from 20% to 15%....so at some point the decrements change to 5% instead of 10%.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone:

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. You have perfectly interpreted my comments and distilled their essence. I expect the battery to remain at 100% for all eternity once it has reached full charge.
Is the % derived from the voltage? Because just looking at it manually, the voltage jumps around (especially when plugged in/out). I've seen the same voltage # with 100% and with 90%, so there has to be some additional logic.
In any case, it would be good to know if 20% is really 29 or 16. That's a 2x difference.
You can try using "Battery Left Widget" from the market, it's free. It does 1% increments and decrements.
It uses algorithms to calculate the battery reserve as you use charge and discharge your battery and gets more accurate as you go along. You want the bar to be full green and not have any red under the "Accuracy" tab.
Screenshot of battery reading (Note: I still have a lot of red on the accuracy bar):

nobnut said:
100% is the maximum
therefore if we assume a basic scenario with three things using this 100%, lets say:
Android OS - 50%
Display - 30%
Something else - 20%
Total = 100%
Now, if we do not turn on the device's screen, the next result will be something like:
Android OS - 75%
Something else - 25%
Total = 100%
Does this mean that Android OS is now using more power? NO!
What this means is that Android OS has used a larger percentage of the power used BECAUSE THERE ARE FEWER PROCESSES GOING ON!!
In the above example, the total amount of power used has actually fallen.
But the genius folk who complain about Android OS (AKA idiots) all of a sudden believe that Android OS is now using more power and start moaning like a bunch of little girls. As you can see from some elementary mathematics... this is a load of b*ll*cks.

Well, my hat's off to you, sir. You hold the power and the knowledge to be perfectly satisfied with what others don't understand.
As for the one that suggested to buy the Sensation and quotes the display off analogy, what could I say more? He explained how battery works so I'll buy the Sensation or whatever he wants after he explains how magnets work.

You have no apps installed.
I have, only 96 apps though. We all have different usages.
Alright, if the percentage doesn't say anything, why don't they use another measures? Like mAh or other units.
Also these 15 hours WiFi was turned on most of the time. I used to turn the screen on and check Facebook/Google+/browse for 2-5 minutes, every 30-60 minutes. So let's just say the display was on for about two til three hours over this 15 hour period. Compared to 19% for the display I would say 50% is A LOT for AOS/CPU usage.
On a 2-3hr usage, at the AOS is THAT high its pretty much a LOT! Look at how low my AOS is compared to Andriod system, heck even cellstandby is taking up more power.

Nice uptime, but I guess you don't use packet data OR talk to friends/ppl because after all it is a PHONE you have at your possession.
So it seems imo that you AREN'T a normal user like the most of us, making phone calls and receiving them in avg per day, which is about 1 hour (call and receive) and letting packed data being online.
Correct me if I am wrong about this analysis.
Without seeing your wake bar and wakelock stats its hard to have any idea what your phone is doing.
Try using better battery stats(link in my sig) to see if you have any out of place wakelocks.

Hello XDA,
This is a temporary fix for the "phone does not display 100%". Well, not so much of a "fix", more like "hiding" this annoying bug. I have attempted multiple times to come up with a solution, some of them have "worked" some not so much. Well, here is a very simple and reversible "fix" I have applied to my phone. I have been running this setup for about a month now and I do not have the issue.
Note: I am not a developer, or know jack about coding. If you believe any of these instructions are wrong, let me know and I will correct it.
Disclaimer: Even though nothing can possibly go wrong, I am not responsible if your phone decides to quit, etc.
Prerequisites:
Root Explorer app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
Your favorite 1% battery monitor that displays on status bar. Try one of these:
Badass Battery Monitor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Battery Circle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.blinkenlights.battery
Instructions:
1. Using Root Explorer app, navigate to /system and locate the build.prop file. See picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Edit the build.prop file's battery steps mod to make the phone display 10% battery steps instead of the cm7 default 1%. It is the line that reads "# use 1% battery steps
ro.product.use_charge_counter= 1% ". Change value I highlighted on green to 10%. See picture:
3. Optional: Go into settings, cyanogenmod, interface, status bar tweaks, battery status style. Change it to "hidden". Use favorite battery monitor app to display current charge on status bar. I use Badass Battery Monitor, but Circle Battery is way more lightweight.

You see, when you are using 10% steps, and your battery reaches the 96% ish, the phone considers it "charged" and will not go past this percentage. I believe this is a safety feature to prevent over charge. Besides, these batteries do not like to be kept at full charge anyways. You will notice that the first 10% will drop faster than usual because your battery was not really at "100%", it was 96%ish.

The batteries do not stop charging at 96%ish. There is no safety built in to stop overcharge by limiting to 96%. They will charge to 100% at which time the battery circuitry (these batteries have what is essentially a mini computer built in) will stop further charging until the battery falls to the pre-determined safe level for charging to commence again. Nothing anywhere says the batteries "do not like to be kept at full charge". I have no idea where you keep getting all these battery "rules" and solutions from, but none of them have ever had any solid foundations, and have served to do nothing other than have people respond with predominantly negative comments. This is why your threads get closed down. Please stop posting battery threads unless you have REAL data or evidence to support your ideas/theories.
Seriously, I am not trying to flame here. You have to see that the incessant obsession with batteries over the last 6-12 months or whatever it has been has grown old for the vast majority of the community.

OK, so I'm at work today, and a bit bored. As today we expect lots of rain in NYC, and I don't expect any customers. So, I have a little "game" we can play here on XDA. Well, not really a game since it can take a while. But, let's see how you're device does. The rules of this game are very simple. Let's see how long your device will go before dropping a single percentage fromm 100% to 99%. And with your data/phone signal turned on, since it'll last an even longer time with it off. I'll start it off, mine is everything enabled(just no use at all), right before it dropped to 99%..

you can change how fast it starts, and other doze settings.. I didn't change anything in doze though.
How did you time this to show this info at 99 ?

the old fashioned way, turning on the screen for a quick look. after a while, I stopped looking after an hour and 15 min, since it always made it that far, and started looking at it closer to one hour 30 minutes.

What's your set up ? I've tried a lot of different kernels and settings, but IMO, hellscore kernel flashed stock with no additional modifications delivers insane battery life compared to anything I've used. Toss in kernel auditor, undervolt and mess around with some settings and it goes even further.
Instead of a 1 min battery life, we should make a thread of who has the longest SOT off total battery or something.

Pure Nexus, with Despair kernel, but none of their setups. Setup is my own, from Trinity kernel of past.. ondemand/deadline with ondemand set up with a 15000 sampling rate and a 98% up threshold. Runs and performs better this way
I never ever undervolt, but do overvolt on occasion.
And overall sot, na. I actually kinda do agree with you, but its way too easy to cheat sot.

no.. your thinking of Morfic. he's the creator of Trinity kernel, I just did all the testing. he was close to TeamWhiskey, I learned of them later on.

Yeah that who I was thinking of I haven't seen anything from him in a while now, not really followed since nexus s days.

I recall there are tricks to get a little extra in the tank at 100%. Like charge to 100%, drain 1% and charge again several times.
I don't really know if the resulting difference in charge shows between 100 or 99 or spread out some other manner.
I'm not accusing you of anything, just wondering if 100% is the best starting point for the experiment.
Then again, starting at a different point brings it's own challenges in starting and rrecording the experirment.
Obviously best estimate comes from a longer period in standby,.
On the third hand, as the title suggests, it's not strictly an experiment, also a game.... and this one is quick and interesting.
At any rate, I'm sure you have very lean standby power use, better than me.

I actually charge until there are 0mA coming in(CurrentWidget). that's when I consider 100% charged. normally, when the phone shows 100%, there is still up to 400mA still entering the device. now I'm starting to give up some of my secrets :silly:
This really isn't a good way to judge battery life. Once a phone reaches 100% the charging stops and the battery discharges some before the device starts charging again. During this time the battery will report 100% but may be slightly below that. This is why sometimes you take a phone off the charger and it drops from 100% to like 97% almost instantly.
Looking back its kinda funny that older phones only read battety in 10% increments. How did we ever survive.
[Edit: I see this was addressed the same time I posted.]
Do I win? I bet no one else got above 3000% and below 0%

lol! but no. by looking at the graph, it looks like its constantly getting charged as well
So earlier today I wanted to see what kind of goodies I might be able to cash my points in for.
To my surprise, everything seemed a bit high. I already spent 2,000 for a $50 Samsung.com coupon where now it's 10,000!
But now it seems as though everything has at least doubled!
Even on http://www.samsung.com/us/samsung-pay/rewards/ for example the Gear VR is only 6,000 points but for me it's 12,000.
Or the Gear Fit2 is costing me 16,000 where they advertise it for only 8,000 on their page.
Does't seem very fair.
Can someone compare mine with theirs just to make sure that they aren't charging me more than they should?
Here's a screenshot.

Even though I do not use Samsung Pay, here is my redeem page for comparison. No differences, but it does seem peculiar how the rewards online are different than the ones in the app

Huh.
Okay. So they aren't picking on me specifically then. LOL! That's good to know.
I'm already at over 40 purchases this month so I figured they increased everything to make up for it.
Still... they shouldn't be increasing the value of their rewards by so much.

Can confirm. All of mine doubled too. It was supposed to be half off until 2/28/2017 but I guess they ended the promo early. It's not fair that they tricked us into using it as much as possible. I've already racked up 4000 ish points and I was aiming for a gear fit.

Guess I'll be saving my points until they drop them back down again.
I'll probably have close to 30,000 by the end of the year at least.

That would be a wise move. I may save them for gear S3 or whatever when it is on promo again. Current promos aren't worth the points.

Exactly.
I'll save up to perhaps ~30,000 points and wait until they drop the points down to something reasonable. Then cash it all in at once.
Meanwhile, I'm taking advantage of the 2x points on Sundays.
Hint: Vending machines are our friends.
50 cent candy bar every five minutes for fifteen minutes as a Platinum is 240 points... and three candy bars. LOL!

Can confirm here also. Redeeming points are back up to full price now. Considering that they have 10k points for $50 rewards card, I would say it's almost 0.5% cash back?
I've started to drink diet soda a few sips here and there every day for $1.25 a bottle. I wish I have a chewing gum vending machine somewhere at work. I just hit platinum in Jan and planning to use it as much as I can.

Well at least we get 2x the points on Sundays... until they take that away. But I'm not using mine until they drop again. Maybe by that time I can get a free Gear S4 or whatever. LOL!

Agreed. Or I would love to see some sort of gift balance towards the purchase or a note 8. But I'm okay with a smartwatch! I don't like the Gear Fit2 they have right now on the store, but the next gen one would be interesting. I'm starting to shop multiple times for groceries and stuff and limiting all of them to Sundays. It would be awesome if the gas station pumps credit card readers using swiping over dipping card.
