Speak for yourself. Many of us have terrible battery drain. Especially in standby mode.

I would like to see it becomes more stabilizing while in stand by mode for snapdragon version.

My battery life is amazing

Can you let us know if it fixes the "Android System" issue w/it taking up the majority of battery drainage?

No, it hasn't. It even introduced a new battery hog. See my thread I started in this forum.

Crazy how some peeps battery life sucks and some it's great. I've owned pretty much every higher end phone but a Nexus. S7 Edge battery life is the best I've had. Will only get better after a few weeks when I put it down. :laugh:

Agreed. Mine is draining faster today than yesterday.

I got an update today for my AT&T version also. G935AUCS2APC2 is the latest. Android version didn't change, still 6.01

seems like they changed the security settings, now everytime I lock the screen with nova double tap, I need to use the pin my fingerprints wont open it.

I'm still on the old update apparently for AT&T. Even shows me this message when checking for updates.

Additional 2 factor authorization has been enabled since the original firmware. It's nothing new but is very annoying.

My battery has been amazing. On standby I'll keep it unchanged overnight at 100 and when I wake up its around 80-90 not bad for 8 hours stand alone

Wow! I could get used to this!
That is meaningless without posting your screen on time and usage. I can get 4 days on my phone if I only use it as a phone with a few calls.
i tend to agree with cm7's battery life is fantastic

4 days? ok...don't believe that.
I'm just using my phone as I always do, steam some music, make some calls, text a bit.. etc.
I was kidding about it recharging itself......but that's what the battery level indicator says it does.
If I could find my 60 dollar extended battery........I bet this thing would last forever.

Yup. Posted a thread about it a few months ago. It was over a 3 day weekend and on wifi. There were screen shots in that thread too. That is why without screen on times the percentages are meaningless. I only made a couple of short calls. And this was on leaked GB.

The thread I posted actually had more usage and I was at 37 hours with 17% left when I plugged it in. I didn't post the 4 day test when I didn't really use the phone at all.

30% of total time.....?? isn't that how you could figure it out. Anyway, total screen on time was 1.45 hours. I have it set to go off at 10 seconds of no use.
Meh. The only thing that matters is the screen on time, show me with 3+ hours then they will count.

No that is 30% of total usage not of total time. They all add up to 100%. As said 1.45 hours is typical with 50% left. But maybe that is a lot better for you than your previous ROM.

Reason for this is un-calibration. If you use something that's battery hogging and once your done using that app it eventually goes up some, kind of a like a battery's temp. once you get it hot because of whatever activity the phone is processing, once you cool off and stop doing that it goes down in temp.

I found major drain when I froze DRM and Google Talk and had AdFree installed. Defrosted them both and removed AdFree. I've had great battery life again ever since...without calibration nonsense.
I think the system expects these apps and keeps trying to use them. Kind of like the Task Killer Circle of Death. I don't know why AdFree was a problem.

I maxxed out at ~74hours of standby time before, on 3g the whole time & stock battery (from Sept 2010). This was on my current setup.
Legendary v4.0.1 & provided Samurai kernel.
However, my phone hasn't hit that mark again. Mostly b/c of data hungry apps.

I was in front of a computer working for many of those hours. When I wasn't working, I was sleeping.
I think I only had 3 texts and 1 voicemail the whole time (rare). When I hit 36hours I decided to just ride it out and see how long it can go.
The screen on time was like ~25mins and TWS was ~ 3%. The phone basically sat on a desk/nightstand the entire time since I was in front of a computer most of the time. Not the best example normal usage vs battery life, but it hit the 74hour mark.

How do you get your Android OS to be so low. My note is always around 25% to 30%. Do you think I have something running that's draining my battery? I do know that I'm not getting anywhere near the battery life you guys are saying you are getting.

he could have disabled all animations, force-closed processes, etc.
I have bluetooth running eight hours a day, streaming music for four to five of those to it, at least three to four hours of reading massive PDFs (textbooks), ppts, and word documents, WIFI on whenever available, etc.
I've gotten 10-13 hours without too many issues. The 10 was with a LOT of screen time, wifi or data running always, and bluetooth running always.
It also depends how you charge your battery. I make sure to fully charge my battery, and then run it into the GROUND (eg note powers off completely) before I plug it back in. Every time. You get maximum capacity that way, there's a name for this, but I can't remember what.
Anyway, battery 101. Kill processes, disable unneccesary services, use WIFI when you have it, disable everything you don't need, disable sync if you want/need to, disable gps, animations, and especially use minimal screentime. I don't see why the note wouldn't pull at least 36 hours if it was left in airplane mode the whole time.
Actually I was just watching movies and listening through bluetooth, thats why I don't have other processes eating my battery but I didn't do anything special..just straight 6 hours of watching movies using mobo player..
But I noticed that using mobile data to surf the net would drain my battery faster, so try to use wifi whenever available..
Everything about my setup is stock, only de-odexed to manually install my language..
Also noticed that when my phone left idleing, there will be Android OS drain in my battery usage, wigh "suspend" and "events0" showing in BetterBatteryStats but I still didn't figure out how to solve that..

i had my first unusual battery drain last night, woke up with 74% left after 7hrs of sleep. today it's back to normal, 88% left after 11hrs of standby only (very light to no use of the phone), does it seem like i should still root and flash the fix?

Open up your battery usage and see how much of it (%) is being taken up by "Cell Standby". Mine is usually the highest on the list
So is this a fix that will actually give me more battery life or just fix the display of it?

This doesn't fix the problem that some AT&T users are having with poor battery life in areas with bad LTE reception. In those cases, Cell Standby is actually draining their batteries. It isn't just a reporting error. If your battery stays warm even when you aren't using your phone and have all your apps closed, this isn't going to help you.
If I have no Lte just hspa+ would that drain my battery? Like, is my phone constantly searching for lte? I heard to make a custom apn for just hspa + but Idk how or if it will help. I'm AT&T and am having poor battery life

After MF9 update my battery drains fast, what gives?

Before the update my battery life was ok, now it drains so fast im not sure what the update did but they need to fix this problem. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Check what is using a big part of your battery in the settings. Chances are that Google Services is near the top of the list. If so, delete your Google acct and then sign back in. This cured the problem for me....now, Google services settles near the bottom of the list. After doing this my battery life is much better but still a bit below battery life of MDL.
Very very vague.

Well, when it comes to these kind of things the OP has no idea what is causing the issue and apparently has done nothing different because if he did and saw a difference he would have either said what he did or reverted back to before he did whatever he did end up doing so actually it was quite clear. Something is happening as far as battery issues for him versus MDL and from what Igot from OP he has done nothing to it or done nothing different than his previously decent battery setup. Just saying.

My phone was at 100% this morning when i left for work at 7AM, i played a few races on FF6 and listened to music for a while. I am at work and it is now 8:47 and my battery is at 60% I went to the battery section and it says my screen uses 50% but i have the auto screen brighness on and the power saver mode on also. Before the update i would be at around 80% with the same use. I dont have Google Now enabled.

So, in just under 2 hours, your battery drained 40%, with about 30 minutes of on-screen time. That by itself seems to be higher than expected drain for the battery. But you indicated a few races on FF6, and listening to music (I'm not sure what FF6 is, but if it is CPU intensive, maybe that contributed to the drain).
Did you have kernel or partial wakelocks from GPS or something else? How much was your sleep time? (I think you need betterbatterystats to check that, unless you have another similar app that will give you that detail).

Also, did you guys dirty flash or did you do a full wipe when going from mdl to mf9? I think it's always a good idea to do full wipes before a flash especially after a big update.

...and just the same that you expect others to not assume they changed something - you also can't just assume that because they didn't say anything that it means he DID change anything either.
By the looks of the subsequent and actually HELPFUL posts after yours, there's enough useful information to give them some traction on a resolution. Especially for those that apparently fit the under the original assumption that they didn't change anything with the update.

@saintholigan. So you're saying if I had battery drain and needed some.help I would make a thread and just say. My battery life sucks, what's wrong? You would all automatically assume I didn't change anything.
@OP
I would suggest to go to a stock rooted ROM and flash a different kernel other than stock MF9, then google search "better battery stats XDA". There should be a link to XDA that has a free version. Make one or two full discharges with that app and it will tell you if there is any wakelocks or apps that might be draining your battery.

My phone was at 100% this morning when i left for work at 7AM, i played a few races on FF6 and listened to music for a while. I am at work and it is now 8:47 and my battery is at 60% I went to the battery section and it says my screen uses 50% but i have the auto screen brighness on and the power saver mode on also. Before the update i would be at around 80% with the same use. I dont have Google Now enabled.

Also you want to disable power saver. From my understanding it doesn't actually save you that much battery and slows down your phone.

"Battery Usage"- strange thing...

Hi guys,
weird thing happened (at least weird for me ) today. It's probably some software issue, nothing serious I hope, but i'd rather confront it with my knowledgeable friends here
So here's the sequence of events... Yesterday i fully charged my s7 edge, powered it on, played with it for an hour or so (which left me with 94% of battery life) and then powered it off completely. I woke up this morning, switched it on and under Settings/Battery/Battery Usage I noticed that the screen showing the stats "reset" itself. What I mean by that is it shows no battery usage from last night. Obviously that happens when you power it on (starting a new cycle) after you charged your phone, which in my case was last night...
Any idea what could cause that? Have any of you had ever similar issue?
Thanks in advance for your insight guys!
You played for an hour and your battery dropped only 6%? How ??

"Played with" as in light using ( bit of browsing + Youtubing ) NOT like played a game for an hour mate! . Plus screen wasn't continuously on for an hour.
Thats normal. If the battery is above 90% and you restart your phone, it will reset the stats
So let me get this straight. You browsed the Internet and You Tube for an entire hour and only managed to use 6% of battery?

It's really beside the point but I'm gonna straighten this out for you my friend... YES to "You browsed the Internet and You Tube " NO to " for an entire hour ". WITHIN that hour I did some browsing+youtubing but don't know what my stats were during that hour . I definately WAS NOT continuously using it for an entire hour

i dont know really, but my OPO did that too, if it restarts before it hits 89%, it would reset the stats, beyond that everything is fine

It seems you're right. I've found a couple of posts on Reddit and Androidcentral saying exactly the same thing. Hmm...I never realized that. THANK YOU mate[emoji4]

Sorry to bring up an old post, but do you know if this same behavior is tied to plugging the phone into a computer? I have noticed a couple of times recently that my battery stats reset after plugging into my computer to get a couple of pictures off. Both times I was above 90%. This also happens in GSAM.
