Is Samsung going to fix the OS battery drain that plagues the S7e? If not, it a deal breaker for me. I gave up the S7e for moto z force and the battery last at least 30% longer. Both phones have very similar size battery at 3600mAh & 3500mAh respectively.

not all s7e have the battery drain issue, if you have tried a full factory reset and tested the phone without installing extra apps and its still got battery drain then get a refund I guess. got heaps of apps on mine, like tasker and macrodroid and I don't really have any battery issues.
just my 2cents.

If that is true, they should have put a 20,000 mah battery in it before they sealed it up. 4.5 hours is going to hurt. Are they going to start selling a real backpack full of fuel cells?

One youtuber said about 4 hrs.
It's running MM and will have the same battery drain bug that every other device running MM has.
Hopefully N fixes it.
It's really a shame it didn't come with N.

If battery life is such a big concern, don't forget Samsung is going to offer a 3100mah wireless charging "backpack" http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-note/galaxy-note7/accessories/.
How can you only get 4h or SOT when the battery is basically the same size as the S7e and the display is hardly any larger? I've got the S7e and it has the most amazing battery life of any phone I've ever used. I'm holding out on getting the Note 7 until there is some more data on just how long the battery last. If it really is 4h, then I'll give it a miss.
When I find the link I'll edit my post but someone has claimed, and been showing 5.5+ hours of SoT with everything running (BT, AOD, tons of apps in the background, etc.).
I wouldn't be too worried, it has a fairly large batt, and I doubt it's going to run a much shorter duration than the s7e, it simply wouldn't make sense.

Probably a good idea to wait for N 7.0. Then maybe the MM battery drain bug won't be an issue.

The snapdragon Note 7 seems like it'll get 4-5 hours without tweaks, which is ok
Battery drain is definitely not fixed.

Let's see a screenshot first.
I believe that some people don't have it for whatever reason (don't change a thing or you might find out what everyone is complaining about) but you're a tiny percent compared to those that do.
3500mah should easily get 7 if it weren't for the MM drain bug.
S6 with 2550 is easy 5 on LP. Barely 4 on MM.

I don't think so. Could you let us have a look at your app drawer/syncing settings page so we can see what's running?
I feel like that is pretty average battery cunsumption for people. There are some who simply cant optimize in any way and they get **** battery life, something like 5-6 hours total screen on time before the tablet dies. Then there are some of us (like me) who get anywhere between 11-15 hours of screen on time in a single charge with our usage style.

11-15 HOURS? I haven't heard of that before anywhere on these forums. Can you post a screenshot?
I've been happy with my 6 hours of screen on time at mid-brightness on the stock ROM. I'd be willing to do quite a bit to get THAT level of battery.

Brightness level has the most to do with it, then it also depends if you leave wifi on all the time, and how intensive your apps are. You will never get 11 hours + with brightness at mid
And this one is from another user who posted it a few days ago:

Not even into "low battery" state yet too. He could ahve easily gotten 13+ hours of screen on time in that charge had he kept going.
I was looking around spare battery for my new Note 3 and found some of the same size as original. I had one of those mpj batteries for my previous S3. It probably exaggerate their specs, but still managed to squeeze several hundred more mah and worked good even five months later. Much better than my OEM one out of amazon. Thought it was still worth a roll of the dice to go back to a replacement battery from them. Just received mine yesterday, didn’t measure how much longer but I assume it lasts me 1-2 hrs more before it died.
Edit: I think the battery is still be good condition.
Cheers
ive actually ordered one of these with the added NFC, i hope it goes well. will post here specs also.

It probably adds 10% amount of the new stock battery, but still think it is a good replacement:cyclops:impressive for 20 bucks.

That sounds not bad
After a night of full charge, i took it off and battery drained 4% in 2 mins 30 seconds. Only had wifi of and did not do anything heavy other than check email. Not good! ill see how i go through out the day,.
Im hoping this will be sorted after a few recharge cycles etc..but i may have to have the stock battery as a backup!
My sister ordered one and it arrived few days ago. Screen on 38% and at 10 hrs she was still at 70% left.
If anyone has this battery or any extended battery please download gsam in the market it will give you the exact voltage of your battery for example see picture. . This is my stock Battery it's low because my phone currently needs a charge but I would imagine that of someone had an extended battery that was fully charge it would give you the accurate mah so we can see what batteries are legit on ebay and amazon and share with our fellow xda users

What what I recall, with smartphone batteries, the first 15% will always discharge faster. remember, percentage isn't rate.

hey guys, im running v5 of twisted rom by @The Sickness. It is a flawless rom, but I was wondering how come my battery life is getting drained so fast.
Its just how it is Looks like u got many hours from that full charge though.
Lollipop drains no one has gotten to the bottom if it .
Make sure your phone is going ino deep sleep use CPU spy app.
Try to disable Volte under phone/settings
Best option to me is buy extra battery or a battery case .
Or Go back to kitkat O.S .

I've been on twisted v5 I got two anker batteries off amazon for 28$ did a full charge made sure some settings were off
Made sure phone goes into deep sleep .
I got 9 hrs deep sleep phone went 100% to 96% drain just over night while I was asleep. I have 20hrs left before 0%
I'd suggest getting anker.
Try to adjust settings disable any built in apps unneeded.
It has to do with settings and a good battery and calibrating it.

I beg to differ. My S5 on4.4.2 lasts over a day for me with moderate use. And I had installed the custom ROM on this around Aug/Sep last year.
What kind of battery life are you guys getting? Total and screen on time.
I was thinking of getting this phone for my wife, who could care less about root, but I heard the Snapdragon version has pretty poor battery life compared to exynos. That could be a deal-breaker.

I'm a fairly heavy user of my phone. Using it has a hotspot for work, email, listening to music, watching YouTube, etc etc. I unplug my phone at 6AM when I leave the house. Usually, by 1-2 PM, I am down to around 30-35%. I don't really manage my apps, but I do occasionally go to the recent apps and clear them out.
I owe a note 3 with a 9600mAh battery that lasts up to three days. I bought the S7 Edge thinking it would last at least one day. Well...it doesn't. Best I get is 9 hrs. So by 5:00 pm I have to charge phone. Which led me to my decision to return phone. A phone that doesn't last a day is not ok. Hope the note 6 has better battery life.

Wow, big difference vs. what those with Exynos are saying. I'm seeing up to 2 days and 7 hrs screen on time for the Exynos S7 edge...
I use mine with LTE and GPS always on, I'm getting 14 hours with about 6 hours screen time.
Optimized will last much longer, but I don't like being limited on the features just to save battery if it already lasts a day.

I'm saying those with Exynos are reporting incredible battery life. I doubt the Exynos version works for Sprint without some major tweaking, and even then maybe not ever.
It's sad that the Snapdragon battery life is so much worse

SD820 with Android System/OS as highest battery drain
So, in the main S7 forum, it was discovered that the Snapdragon S7 versions (such as Sprint's) have the highest battery usage coming from Android System/OS, whereas for the Exynos S7 version, it's Screen. This leads directly to the Exynos having MUCH better battery life than the Snapdragon.
Either it's a bug in the software used on Snapdragon S7's (hopefully), or its the inherent inefficiency of the Snapdragon chip. Any which way, some people are tweeting Samsung USA to put pressure on them to look into this issue. We should all put pressure on Samsung to fix this. Hopefully it is a software issue that is easily corrected and which will lead to much better battery life for the Snapdragon S7's.
Battery life since update?
Any improvement in battery life after the Sprint update? What kind of stats (on-battery and screen-on times) are you guys getting after the update?
Some people are reporting much worse battery life. Mine seems to be about the same (very good) as it was before.
I had a severe CPU drain issue once after the update. I had a theme loaded during the update and at one point the phone lagged so badly it took almost a minute just to swap between apps. (I don't keep more than 5 apps running at a time - usually Twitch, CoC, and Facebook). Never had issues before the update, but it's only happened once so far.
Battery life seems unchanged. I don't use haptic feedback ever (not a fan) and keep screen brightness limited to what I feel is necessary (usually between 25-30% brightness) for the day.
I keep GPS turned off and am on LTE for 8-10 hours a day and listen to Twitch (audio only majority) for 6-8 of those hours.
In the end, my S7 lasts from 6am to 3pm on a single charge with Twitch streaming on LTE with about 20% screen on during that time. While at home on WiFi, I can easily get 2 days out of a single charge with casual use (personal choice).
Sent from my SM-G930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hmm, some people are reporting remarkably better battery life with the latest T-mobile update. Hopefully Sprint will get the same update soon
Rooted mine and battery life is crappy, though it wasn't great before either I think it's about the same or probably even a little bit worse on stock but maybe it's just me. I get like a little over 2 hours screen on time with 9% left on mostly wifi so I know for a fact that something is wrong. Standby time is also awful.
Android kernel and os draining more battery than my screen lol definitely should not be happening.

So, I had fantastic battery life on MM. After N, it has not been great. A lot of people report the same. I also talked to people that went back to M, but didn't see the benefits return.
What I'm thinking is that our batteries are quickly degrading at this point (if you've had it since launch or not long after). A couple months ago I ran Accubattery and it reported that my battery health was at 89%. I ran it just recent and now my battery is at 81% it's designed capacity.
Is it possible for a battery to degrade that quickly? Is this to be expected? I'm debating whether or not I should get my battery replaced or hold off and buy the OP5 when it comes out. Anyway, I love this phone.
Im experiencing the same problem as many users have it too .Accubattery reported that i have 56% of battery life , I don't know if it's accurate or not(don't forget accubattery measures battery life from software input through comparisons)...but in real life.. we really have a bad battery-life problem. technically, im convinced that it is a hardware issue( due to faulty battery or fast degradation...), because many Nexus 6p users have replaced the battery and it worked as it should.., but on the other hand, it is really weired that this issue has existed after nougat update! Moreover, some pixel users reported the same problem( different phone generation, different core hardware, different manufacturer, same software developer )and it was fixed by google in 7.1.2 as i read recently. I'm really confused ?

Can't speak for others, but from personal experience, the 6Ps that I have seen behave just like other phones. Unfortunately every phone manufacturer may have their issues, I have seen countless battery issues on other phones, including early shutdowns that has even plagued iOS devices.
It's a good thing that manufacturers offer warranty. Lemon law should also apply in those unrepairable situations.

It is definitely a much bigger issue on this phone... It is very common, while other phones may have issues, all do to some degree no doubt, it is a huge problem with the 6p and is happening to a very large number of people.

For a reason that pixel xl didn't convince me. With all the advantages of pixel xl( SD 821..outstanding battery life, superb camera performance) i felt it as an incremental upgrade!!! So paying worth of 700$ is unjustifiable, thus i took a decision even to go for OnePlus one 5 or to go for pixel xl 2
Another thing That flashing ROMs and adding mods are waaay easier than pixel phones.. its really pain in the neck if u did something wrong??.. This is my personal opinion.

Can't speak for others, but from personal experience, the 6Ps that I have seen behave just like other phones. Unfortunately every phone manufacturer may have their issues, I have seen countless battery issues on other phones, including early shutdowns that has even plagued iOS devices.
It's a good thing that manufacturers offer warranty. Lemon law should also apply in those unrepairable situations.

Google sent out an internal memo to all support staff instructing them to accept returns after the warranty was over because of the battery problem. Its a know defect and something that is far more widespread than it happening to the odd phone.

That's great news! That means that nobody will have issues anymore.

I'm assuming that this is only if you bought it on Play Store, right? I bought at BB. Anyone have any luck getting returns from non-Play Store purchases?

For a reason that pixel xl didn't convince me. With all the advantages of pixel xl( SD 821..outstanding battery life, superb camera performance) i felt it as an incremental upgrade!!! So paying worth of 700$ is unjustifiable, thus i took a decision even to go for OnePlus one 5 or to go for pixel xl 2
Another thing That flashing ROMs and adding mods are waaay easier than pixel phones.. its really pain in the neck if u did something wrong??.. This is my personal opinion.

I'm really considering getting the one plus 5. Pixel looks amazing but I can't justify the price tag
The Huawei battery that comes with the 6P is really bad considering many of them (like the one I had before I did the replacement) lose more than 50% battery capacity in less than 2 years and stop reporting precisely the % from 100% to 1% causing instants shutdowns.
I highly recommend you to replace your battery with a non Huawei battery like the X-Longer. It's as good as the stock battery when the phone is brand new. Now I honestly can't tell if this battery will lose less than 10% in 2 years (regular good batteries) or more than 10% in 2 years (Nexus 6P stock battery, at least many of them)

Did you do the replacement yourself or have someone else do it? How painful was the process?

I did it myself. I've equipped before doing it.
- Cameron sino battery
- heat gun
- precision knife and one poker card
- and some generic repair tools.
The glass is not the worst part. It just requires patience I feel that I can remove the glass many times without an issue.
Now in my case...the removal of the cover was the most difficult part...
It's painful but I had a unusable brick before...(2 hours SoT and shutdown at 20%. Now I have a usable phone...4:30 SoT and shutdown at 1%. So I don't care if I estetically damaged a bit the corner).

I've had my 6P since the first month they shipped for Google Sept/Oct 2015. I had decent battery life until recently. Never experienced shutdowns or anything weird. I've been rooted since day one but running stock. Was on 7.0 until finally flashing April 7.1.2 the other day.
Installed Accubattery and health is at 60%. Since april update battery seems to drain far more rapidly. Usage is mainly web surfing via wifi.
Guess I need to find best available replacement battery soon. Is it ok to buy battery in advance and lying around for a few months before installing?
For best battery health what are do's and don'ts.
At home I often just left it plugged in while in use and or charged to 100% then again when down to ~30%. I'd leave it plugged in overnight. Is using fast charger all the time not good?
