How??? My maximum sot is at 9 hr, though.

A lot of useless apps disabled (and removed with adb shell)
No sh*tty Swiftkey keyboard (i use the Sony)
Disabled a lot of background data and activity of apps that I don't need real time sync (games, social apps, store apps, tools)
It's not a magical stuff but makes difference.

Could easily reach 10-11h on the last 15%

Just got 10h yesterday.

seriously this phone have amazing battery life, i got sot 7-8h very easy and still remaining 15%

Not that lucky
I have not had the same luck as you guys. Seems my phone gets really hot and battery life has not been the optimal experience for me. :crying:

I get around 6 SOT. Reasonably happy with that, especially compared to the XZ, which is what I was using before the XZ2.

Here are my stats. Are these normal?

Your phone on idle consumption is too high in my opinion.

Any ideas of why this may be? I don't play any games, but I do have a bunch of social media apps along with IFTTT, and Google Play Music.

and still on 21% ?

something is draining your battery, take an hour and go through all the apps and disable/uninstall those you don't need or use
Turn off background data etc again for all the apps that don't need it
Check permissions of your apps be smart about what they allow
Fitness apps might be running stuff you don't even know about
Your phone running hot would suggest to me that you have a rogue app that is very active in the background doing stuff you are not aware of - possibly malware

My battery is getting worst now and I just got sot 5hours
Anyone every try to replace the battery here ?

Running siyah kernel with cricklerom
Fantastic
show me your screen on time pls. i can do that with stock battery too with low use. 37% doesnt look like you touched your phone much..
that's pretty bad. I can go as long as 3 days with stock battery
That is indeed easily done with a stock battery and stock Samsung or CM7 rom and with moderate use.
Would help if you actually used your phone, anyone can get double that on standby on a normal battery
Besides, shouldn't this topic been placed in the Accessories sub-forums?
blimey and i thought that was good. Onoly get aboout 24hrs with the stock battery....ok i'll crawl back into my hole....

You don't have to do that but people here are much more interested in how much life you get with heavy (screen on) usage, me included. How much was it, if you dont mind me asking?
im not a heavey user, but with medium useage, 15+ downloads, surfing the net on and off through out the day, emails through out the day, f/b updating and numerous texting and a few calls.....i suppose for my normal use on stock battery i got just over 24hrs use so the extra 300Mah is more than welcome. Plus i can slip the original stock battery in my pocket when i go out just incase i need extra umph. Oh well im happy with it...please move to accessories if i have posted in wrong forum..infact MODS if you want to delete this thread then please be my guest....
OK... realistically though, screen on time is the real indicator, along with usage patterns (were you web browsing, gaming? what games? how bright was the screen etc). Screen on time can be found out by Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display = Time on (just in case you weren't aware).
How much did the battery cost?
Oh... and what theme are you using (I'm liking those icons at the top).
besides the screen on time you should also consider the data volume transfered via radio, that kills my battery even faster than the screen although i'm living in a big city with solid coverage...
There is already a big thread on the OEM 2000mah battery.

[Q] Insane battery drain?

Hello there!
I recently switched from a Neo (with 4.0.2.A.0.62) to an Arc S with the exact same firmware. Both had about the same amount of apps installed.
I am very unhappy with the battery drain on my Arc S. It is ENORMOUS compared to my Neo... Even with heavy use and a lot of music listening my battery would easily last a day. With my Arc S the battery drains extremely fast, even while just listening to music.
Do these amounts look normal to you guys? This is just while listening to music directly after a reboot, WiFi disabled, HSPA only (full sync).
At the time of the screenshots it was at 56%.

Looks to me like you are in a Realy bad signal area. that wont be helping.
Iridaki has made a tutorial to find out what is using battery. and to diagnose apps that are causing drain ect.
get it here.
also in future Q's go in Q&A not general (Who would have known )

WCDMA + Data enabled + Listening to music + Weak signal = Battery drain
Are you completely stock?

Well yes and no. Low signal has a huge affect especially with data. As the phone had to try so hard to maintain the link.
There are SO many factors to take in
Be sure to read iridaki's guide to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary is draining your batt.
I am runing a heavily modified stock. All my own mods using our TEAM sources ECT.

Very high android system battery drain

Hi, I have my s7 edge for 3 months and my battery life is less and less big. My android system is taking a lot of the battery life but I let you see that in the screenshots.

I looked for the solution and I saw that some of the users of s7 edge reset their phone and the issue was gone bit it didn't work for me.
Thank you in advance.
This topic has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/how-experiencing-android-battery-drain-t3327730
There has not been a clear solution that works for everyone. 18% seems to be normal for most. I am usually around that and can get above 5 hrs of SOT with 24 hours total. I would focus on other ways to improve battery life. There is other app or process that is causing your problems. For example, it looks like Good Lock is using a lot of battery in the screen shot you posted. When I used it, it only used about 2-3% battery. The location specific settings in that app can drain a lot of battery. I would also try and see if something is keeping your phone awake. There probably is something and that is what is most likely draining your battery.
First thing would be turn off google back-up if you have not. That was a major source of wakelocks for me. Also try a battery monitor like GSAM or Better battery Stats to get a better picture of what is going on.

Thank you for your help, I will try your solution. If the issue persists I will go to my carreer to see what they will they about that.
As already posted there is a thread for this here

Terrible Battery Life on Comparison to Others. Suggestions?.

WTF is going on with my battery? I have the S7 Flat snapdragon version (G930v) running the G930u software unrooted which removes all carrier bloat. Screen brightness is set to a little past half way. I have all setting provided by stock software optimized for maximum battery life other than running AOD. I am running a black Wallpaper/Lockscreen/ and an All black theme from the Theme Engine.. I Repeat, I have all stock firmware options Optimized for battery. Every single one. Wth hell is going on here. My battery time is looking Rediculous in comparison. Someone help me out here.

I feel asleep around 3am I guess with 89% and woke up just now close to 11. Heres battery over that 8hr period. 5% during that time. Standby drain is not bad it seems. But only 10hrs on 100% is crazy low compared to what some of you guys are getting.
End of Trial:
What can I do to get this increased.?
4.5 Hr of SOT is very Good. I am on the U firmware also and get 3 SOT. When you make comparisons, compare to SD Soc not the Samsung Exnos. You can download Gsam Battery and give it more permissions thru ADB and monitor. I noticed my proximity sensor (2) are giving high wakelocks.
The SD vs Exnos makes that much of a difference? I'm seeing people get 5.5-6.5screen on time in the main s7 thread. Granted not many relay the information as to weather they have SD/Exnoys or Flat/Edge.
4.5 hours when compared to 6 average over there, eh to me that's on the low end. I'd be losing my mind if I was only getting 3SoT.
I miss removable battery functionality.
Do you guys leave your screens on 24/7 or something? I use my phone quite a bit, but get 24 hours to a charge.
Is this ok?
At this brightness level plus I have turned off buttons backlight.

Can anyone post some SOT pictures? I am curious about it as I want to get this phone but I want it to have at least around same battery life as my note 5 pro.
Are these values normal?
