check if doze is working on your s7. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

so if anyone uses gsam, check to see if doze shows up at all when you goto graphs and goto the end. mine doesn't doze at all it seems. and when I look at screen usage, it seems the percentage is higher when the screen is off lmao. wtf.
btw battery history hours are wrong in this pic. gsam does that sometimes. I'm really only like 5 hours off charger.

It looks like mine has been dozing. Not as long as I thought it would, but it DOES work. Do you have always-on turned on?

wow.
no, i don't use that. so wtf is causing my stupid s7 to stay awake like that then?

It could be a certain app keeping it awake.

but in gsam, absolutely nothing is keeping it awake. my biggest wake times are android system or android OS.

I thought doze's biggest selling point was that an app couldn't keep it from activating unless specifically told to do so...?

Apparently if the phone is moved even a little bit or the motion sensors are tripped, Doze does not work. It still needs some work.

ahh maybe I'm moving and touching it then. ok so doze is absolutely useless to me. I checked at the end of the day, and not one time throughout the day was it active.

check it out, my phone dozed for the first time in it's life.....and that's only bc it was completely still and not even being moved for a long time in my desk at work. well, atleast i now know doze is working....hilarious though 5% of my battery was used when display was on, and 20% was used when off lmao...wtf!

You can turn Doze off if you think it is causing issues... Go into battery under settings, then hit "more" at the top then "optimize battery usage"
That will allow you to disable it completely or just for individual apps.

Whoops looks like I somehow flipped the switch off. Thanks for mentioning that.

Looks like your screen ate a big chunk of that. Maybe you had an application running that disabled dimming/auto lock? Or maybe you have autolock disabled?

No, it was valid screen usage. But I normally pull between 3-4 hours of screen on --- this is 30 minutes and the phone is dead. xD

No one else will have a clue as to what happened either unless you give more information than that screenshot .
ROM? Min/Max frequencies? Governor? Did the phone feel extremely hot during those 38 minutes? Did you try a reboot? What happened after you recharged it? Same or better battery life?
I didn't even know it was possible to eat through the entire battery in under an hour. Seems like it might be a messed up battery and/or battery calibration thing. If you want more information than in that screenshot, you can try installing BetterBatteryStats

I'm thinking it was just a fluke... I woke up, did some browsing, ran a timer (hence the screen-on time), got in the car to go to work and "14% remaining" popped up. I rebooted a few times to see if it was just reporting incorrectly --- but it had actually drained.
Typically I pull ~13 hours, ~3 of screen-on, and ~7 of Pandora. I'm more than satisfied with battery.... normally. It seems to have gone back to around that level after a recharge, but I'll know for sure tomorrow.
Battery was fine today. Sitting at 23 hours on ~130% battery (some slight charging halfway through), 20% remaining, 3.5 hours of screen, and 7 hours of Pandora.
I guess my phone had a case of the Mondays.... on a Tuesday.
Most likely had something go wrong with the battery stats.
I had it happen before. I knew my device was around 30 percent battery life. I hooked up to the charger and in less than 5 minutes it said 100 percent. So it would charge further.
Drained the battery fully and quickly of course like the op and fully charged. Haven't had it happen again though.
The battery reporting on the nexus is pretty bad

Crazy wakelocks: please help

I'm noticing some incredibly high kernel wakelocks on my Note 4, which aren't present on my Note 2 (which rules out something on my network causing the problem ).
It's anyone having these? Any idea how the heck I'm suppose to get these lower? Wlan_wake in particular is firing off several dozen wakelocks per second.

get an app called Amplify, aka LiOn Tamer, aka as far as i know dev could be changing the name of the app again as we speak. The regular version is usually good enough, although the donate version takes care of most of the other wakelocks...assuming you are rooted and have xposed installed, if not, good luck.
This app is probably one of the best apps to control wakelocks, the battery life increase is also considerable.
As of now I got 4h34 screen on time in 19h47 of battery life and have 37% left. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't working tomorrow and needed a full charge in the morning I could hit 6.5h of screen on time and an extra 7h battery life before I reach 0%. Stats that are not possible without this app

I've got Amplify, but it's not showing any wakelocks that would be close to those listed (in # of triggers). I am experimenting with a completely isolated wifi AP - so there's no way that devices on my network are pinging my phone. So far, wlan_wake and KeyEvents are still highish ,but there are some strange ones named "Event"followed by a number DASH number... I have no clue what the hell those are

I am using Greenify - are you saying I should disable? These particular wakelocks have only come up in the past few days (maybe after the most recent firmware update) and I've been using Greenify since I got the phone, weeks ago.

dont disable it, just make sure you update the app list on it. I also got a N4 on launch day and the update was there out of the box, i dont have such issues though. I'm pretty sure an app is causing this, just gotta know which one. It could be almost any app, check your per app battery usage and see if an app is draining abnormally your battery.
You haven't mentioned this anywhere, but is this affecting battery life?

I've been getting poor screen on time, but these wakeups seen abnormally high (half MILLION triggers in less than 24 hours???).
I'm going to look at packets on my network to see if any are pinging my device for no good reason.

LOL Oh. Yeah your right. Didn't realize that. I have wireless chargers everywhere "even made one that was non-slip for my truck" must have put it on one sometime and forgot. Sorry bout that guys. Didn't mean to post a false reading LOL But still I've seen pretty close to those numbers several times without charging.. Depends on what I've been doing of course.
Btw That was an old screenshot I just had in my gallery from not long after I got the phone.
Ive gotten 34 hours out of it so far im really impressed
I have the moto Maxx, Mexican firmware. I´m from Argentina.
Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!
Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much
I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.

I disable data and auto sync. I've done this for every phone I've ever owned. Not to preserve battery life, but I have no need to have it on 24/7. I turn it on when I need it.

Good lock battery drain

Has anyone noticed increased battery drain since activatinh good lock? Ive been using it today and it seems like my battery is draining faster. Thanks
No.

Yes.. a bit battery drainer and makes my device a bit warmer mostbof the time
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
There is slight drain, but it's nothing really noticeable.. at least not on the latest version of good lock. I had about 2hr 35min SoT at 54% today with good lock running the entire time.. To put it into perspective, I had about 3 hours of SoT with the normal system UI with 49% left.
Either way, the battery trade off is well worth having a vanilla android UI but with all of Samsung's lovely customisations.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
To be honest, I have not noticed a battery drain at all.
Even if there is, it should be very minuscule that you would hardly notice
Yes, due to always request location on each wake...
yea its a bit of a drain....i mean..i like it so much it doesn't bother me lol as much as if it was just a ****ty touchwiz alternative lol.... but maybe as it progresses it will get better on battery...the last update from the 5th shows some improvement ...so over time we should it better with more stabiltiy.

Yes. I can't find it now but somewhere Samsung wrote that they fixed the location requirement. I haven't verified that, however. I had another issue that forced me to uninstall it.

The latest version of Good Lock does not constantly prompt location, which is why I installed it and ran it for a bit. The first version did, and that's why I uninstalled it. But since I've decided to root and use Xposed modules, I'm back at the normal system UI.
What issue caused you to uninstall it? I'm rather curious.
any possible way to show icon labels for wifi bluetooth,location ect... in the pull down menue
Seems to consistently take about 4% off my battery. Haven't decided if that's enough to really care. Really like the lock screen.
It took over 15% of my battery (no location enabled, just "everywhere"). It was next under the screen in battery stats. Needless to say I uninstalled it because of that only. Otherwise I kind of liked it except for the multitasking.

I've seen a little bit of battery drain but I get an entire day out of my phone so I'm not worried about it. Never as much as you say though. Maybe uninstall and reinstall it. I love the new UI. Also HUGE update came out today
I think that the battery usage is dependent on the number of routines that you run. I personally just set up the default routine to my liking and don't have any others set up and Goodlock typically stays under 5% usage.

Battery drain with light use on S7 Edge... Is this normal?

Hi everybody. I recently purchased a S7 Edge, coming from an OPO. I wanted a top range smartphone and I choose it because of the enthusiastic reviews I had read on the Internet, especially about camera and battery. While I've been very happy about camera, it's absolutely not the same about battery.
The phone doesn't last more than 12-15 hrs of light use (no games, no 'heavy' apps, no Bluetooth, screen brightness at about 30%, most of background backup disabled). This morning, after a full-night charge, it dropped from 100% to 99% just in a minute of Twitter browsing.
I checked in the stats and apparently there is no app draining the battery; yesterday the top energy consumption came from the screen.
In addition, it gets easily warm on the screen and on the back (not hot), and I'd like to know if it is normal. I'm using it without any case, just as I did with my OPO, but the latter has always been cold, even during heavy use.
I'm posting some screenshots about the battery stats in my Settings

Need more than 10 minutes of battery stats to make any judgement. I suggest you post the stats from 100% until ca. 10%, with your normal usage.
It will give a better overview. Other monitoring apps will give much more detail, but start with this.
Are you rooted?

Do use the Samsung and Microsoft app? What country are you in someone from your area might be able to shed light on warranty situation after tripping Knox.
If tripping the Knox flag has no effect on your warranty (like here in NZ). You could look at installing a ROM.
