Terrible battery life.

[ZombieDawgg]

Hi,

I have a note 7 and for the past couple days the battery has been abysmal. Averaging 3 hours of screen on time. Also, the phone constantly gets hot (especially outside) that it has to lower maximum brightness to keep the device from overheating. With the phone on standby, overnight with always on display OFF, I will drain 10% of the battery.

Do any other note 7 users get this? I even drained 5% typing this post.

I dont have this problem. Battery life is pretty solid for me. Getting more on screen time then my iphone 6s plus!

Same here, I'm at less than 2 hours SOT and at 32% left. That and keyboard lag issues have me kind of unimpressed so far. At least I have a 14 day return policy. I'll have to see how it lasts during this work week.

Sounds like faulty units. I'm at 6 and a half hours of screen on time and 35% battery life remaining, on a snapdragon model. No battery saving features active, WiFi, location services, Bluetooth, AOD, everything on. Even watched a movie at 100% brightness to see how it'd affect the battery life. Phone stayed pretty cool although out.

That's the opposite for me. My 6S Plus gets >5 hours of SOT, the note gets 3< hours.

Sounds like I've got a defective unit. Congrats Samsung Quality Control.

I get around 5h sot time but i also have bluetooth on and a few other things. I'm pretty happy

Right now I am at 5h 46m SOT and have 16% battery left. Not fantastic like the moto z force, but much better than my S7e I dumped after a couple weeks because of the horrible android OS battery drain.

I was seeing this the first couple of days I had the phone. All of a sudden my phone is not getting hot and battery seems to be lasting much longer. ... ??????

Here's my battery life. I've had the phone since Thursday. It's close to what I got on my iPhone 6 Plus. This was with light gaming, Facebook, texting, Facebook Messenger, Reddit and Tapatalk. Not bad if you ask me. My brightness is on auto, I do use the iris scanner and the screen is in cinema mode.

PS: I'm on AT&T with the SD820.

Replace it sounds like a dud. I get 5 6 hours sot. I went 20 hours 30 minutes from a 100percent charge at 1am to having 23 percent left at 9pm. 5 hour sot. Another poster says he got 8 hours sot. By using the medium power save mode.

100 to 23% in 20hrs while the phone was into deep sleep? that sounds like a faulty unit

I get 10pc per hour. V similar to note 5. Not great but i am a heavy user running BT for my LG smartwatch and wifi all day as cell signal is poor at my office.

I actually have had much better battery life than my S7E. Its odd but I think the slight revision of Touch wiz fixed some things. I also put Facebook and Messenger to sleep because they are the absolute worst at battery consumption.
Its worth stating that in week one, the phone is still cache prioritizing, cleaning up its IOPS etc. Not worth measuring for a while. But I am skeptical because My S7E was great for a while too. Its the sammy curse. Eventually you just have to factory reset to get your phone back.

Sounds like you need to reset your phone and start again

I'm not having this issue at all. I navigated for 2+ hours with the screen at full brightness and didn't burn up that much battery. I wasn't tracking it but if things dont get better for you, I'd say try swapping it out for a new one. You might have a physical issue with your battery.

I am on the same boat. Seeing like 7% per hour. Averaging about 4.48 min of SOT
