Screen on time

XDA_RealLifeReview · Mar 7, 2016

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Got the same variant and was pretty impressed. Yesterday I had it 20 hours running until 2 percent. Sounds not much but I had 7 hours screen on time. Think this is pretty good imo.

This sounds not normal. It seems you got some apps running in the background and eating your battery. What apps are on your list at the top in settings?

No LTE? Are you in bad signal area? Weak signal is killer of batteries.

I don't find LTE is needed but I'm in a pretty good signal area most times.
You think I should go to a Samsung service center ?

nrfitchett4 · Mar 14, 2016

I doubt a different device will be any different. Unless the phone is acting up, chances are it's an app or setting causing the trouble. Screen brightness, under location settings, make sure scan BTW and WiFi are turned off, those have been big ones for me in the past. Right now I'm testing adguard which runs VPN on your phone to block ads and it's hitting my battery pretty hard, but with fast charging and big battery, I'm living with it for now.

Also, you might want to set data settings to default and let the phone pick the strongest signal.

Do a factory reset and clear cache from recovery a couple of times, i would recommend a reflash. I'm a sec at best buy.

Temped to return it..

I've a UK version and I've been not really happy with battery life.
First thing, I disables AOD,but that didn't change anything.
I did a factory reset and I did set it up as fresh new without any App and/or Account.
So the phone has Wifi+LTE on and after 21h18m I've 36% left with 1h25m SoT done with Web Browsing.
The settings are standard, no sync, no AOD, Edge night mode.
Should I return the phone?

Thanks for advice

very impressed with the battery life, took it off charge yesterday around 9pm, been on all day on 4g, great 7 hours screen on time , this with auto brightness, 4 emails syncing
