Hi,
About three months ago, i updated my SM-G900H Galaxy S5 from kitkat to Lollipop.
after this upgrade my phone battery drains faster than before.
secondly, whenever i see 70% of RAM remains in use.
even after killing all app processes i get only 300-350mb of free ram.
When i try to upload pics on facebook through fb app most of the time phone gets held and after sometime it asks to wait or close the process.
before this update i was getting 6 hours of active 3G use.
but now i am getting 5 hours of 3G internet useage.
What should i do?
my phone is not rooted.
i am thinking to go back to kitkat.
please give your opinion or solution if possible.
Thanks,
Factory reset
how much ram lollipop uses by default?
or how much ram should be free on fresh lollipop install after clearing cache and factory reset?
I have between 400-700MB free
it means lollipop uses more than 1GB Ram?
So I just got the update notification on my 4G Tab S2 region code XID (Indonesia). F/W is on SamMobile as well, and would have installed it if my battery wasn't running low. Will report back soon!
so far it is exactly what I expected - GS7 software on a tablet. Great battery and none of the performance issues the first gen Tab S had when first receiving Lollipop.

Actually, battery life became worse on this update. I lose 1% of battery life in under 3 minutes without doing anything, my tab was just idle in the home screen.

That's fairly standard I'd say.

But that didn't happen when I was still running Lollipop :/
I've noticed the battery drain too. It's not way worse, but it is slightly quicker at getting rid of charge. Has anyone noticed any other genuine changes? Apart from the lighter colour to the drop-down menu it seems basically identical.

Battery definitely drains faster in this update. It would take me 7-10mins for me to lose 1% of battery life in Lollipop. But now it would take me 3-5mins to lose 1% of battery life. I'm considering right now to go back to Lollipop to be honest, I can't stand this battery performance.
Other changes I've seen was the boot, it uses the S7 boot animation and there wasn't a boot startup sound.
Are many still waiting for the update?
Is everyone experiencing the rapid batter drain.
No update here.

Charging time estimate seems to be gone from notif dropdown (no charging notif at all) and lock screen (just says charging, no more x hours x minutes until full)
Marshmallow works fine. The battery issues were and will always be there for first few days till the firmware settles in.
One problem i faced was not audio output on one of my bose earphones. I still get the output on an older pair. The new ones work fine with every other device including a note 5. Just not this tab. Any suggestions to make it work ?
Are there many of you still without MM?
More than a week and still nothing.
Is it simple to install from Sam Mobile?
Getting frustrated with Samsung.

Hopefully the battery issues are just temporary just like what you said, I am getting tired of this battery drain. This never existed in Lollipop.
About your earphones, maybe the Tab doesn't recognize it?
I guess I'll wait. Lollipop is not so bad....

The main reason why I stayed on lollipop with my tab s2 and Glad i turned automatic updates off....I learned my lesson when I put marshmallow on my galaxy s6 edge plus and the battery life was terrible....
Is there adaptable storage on mm?

Still waiting
I upgraded from nexus 7 to the T715Y galaxy tab s2 8". Solid device, battery performance less than optimal, software updates non existant. The nexus still gets monthly security patching and got the android 6 OTA update in short order. Now 18 July and despite indonesia, panama, phillipines and other neighbours in asia having this update, still no word from Samsung. Tried Kies, side sync and OTA update button mashing... nothing.
In fact Kies said there was an update, which i installed, wiping my tablet to get .. you guessed it, the same darn version i had. 5.0.2. Would recommend the tablet if not for the lack of security and software updates.
Still waiting in Australia
Edit: finally got it about a week ago
Hey guys,
Long time Android user/rooter, just moved from the note 5 to the S7 edge.
Picked up a new S7 edge from Swappa and I'm seeing very high cpu usage (constant 20-25%) from system_server on firmware Pd2 with a fresh reset.
Any suggestions to get this down to acceptable levels?
I'm not rooted yet, but may root soon, I am on totalwireless so I doubt I receive any system updates from them.
I am so happy you just posted this because I'm having the exact same issue I already tried reflashing it....
Are you also having issues with your cell phone service sticking??? I lose service and I have to make a phone call to reconnect
Before the Oreo update (Nougat), my phone's battery goes from 100% to 90% in under an hour of Mobile Data while Playing Music on my headphones. After the update I noticed that my phone drains from full to 90% in under 30 minutes while Mobile Data is ON. Can this be an issue from the Oreo update? Are there anyone having the same issues?
Same here
Xiaomi released the last stable beta as public release. Battery drains will fix with the upcoming updates... No worries...
ive still the same error on current stock rom with feb. sec. patch.
any ideas? maybe a hardware issue?
After the update I am seeing battery also getting charged something slower than earlier. I am with February update but this is not the OS update but a security update. But I have noticed show charging then January update. Seems strange to me.
I have, since i bought It in february, and even more now, a huge battery drain. I attach the screenshots to give more datas to anyone can help me.
I already performed hard reset After march update with no improvement.
Thanks for the help.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge got the Oreo update lately and the battery was just draining like crazy. On top of that, charging it seemed to take up to 10 hours and draining it less than 1.
Never had an issue until update. Fresh installed using Odin (direct 8.0 AP). Still draining like a wild fire burns.
Are there ANY solutions to fix this? I'm not sure what more info to provide so ask away and I shall answer you. I know it's a short question.
