{GUIDE} Tips that helped me improve my S7 Edge battery life (Verizon)

[desireaftergod]

Has anyone run into an issue (with Package Disabler Pro) where you attempt to import an xml file, but nothing happens? If you have run into this, and you have a solution to this issue, I would really like to know...Thanks

I only disabled a few things and now when I reboot my phone, right after the screen loads, I get "all apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or not installed". Is this normal? What is triggering it?

Happened to me when I disabled Flipboard Briefing using package disabler

GUYS, INSTALL THE FORCEDOZE APP, IT'S MAD! There are my stats disabling all the bloatware, except Galaxy apps, S health, and some others.

List please, and is that through packagedisabler or regular app manager?

I used the list provided by the op.

I was able to save some more juice. Anybody else encrypting the external SD card? I'm not sure if it was something with the latest update but I have had poor battery life recently. Noticed my SD card encryption would give me an encrypted notification throughout the day even if I hadn't rebooted recently. Disabled encryption on that and now my phone is sleeping like a baby again.

Well, I followed the OP and disabled all that stuff, then noticed a lot of functionality that I like about this Samsung compared to my Nexus 6P was turned off. So, I reverted back to stock and disabled maybe 1/4 of the services listed in the OP and I'm fully content. Don't have any before and after battery stats yet, but if it's any better then that's a win for me.

Are you rooted, or did you do the non-root workaround?

It was done non rooted before root existed for us here.

Here are few of my stats after disabling what the op suggested. I'm quite pleased.

Thanks for sharing your results!

I have officially flashed the U firmware and rooted, so experimentation on my end in regards to using package disablers is no longer.

But it's good to see the people are still getting great results from the original experimentation and group effort of everyone who has contributed to this thread.

It was a lot of work trying to fix battery life on a locked down phone, but we succeeded!

Well you see I installed forcedoze and still lost about 50% overnight...

Doze mode appears to not work on any firmware due to the kernel

I saw some of you or one of you have bluetooth off. Bluetooth will drain the Battery even more.

OK so when I get to a computer I'll post this link into the main guide but apparently a user on the Verizon s7 side came up with a zip that fixes doze issues along with a ton of other crap. Like literally a ton. Take a look at his thread and make sure to thank him for his work.<br />

FYI, I have just noticed, that if you disable Settings Receiver then notification reminder (from Accessibility menu) stops working.

Also, if you disable something(s) that the OP disabled, it seems like you won't get and OTA Update. So I enabled all again, cleared data, restrict background data and disabled the apps I didn't plan to use.
