That's what they said about KitKat, yet it introduced the Android OS, Android Kernel and Mediaserver battery drains... And the new SD permissions that is a nightmare for anyone without Root.... And a bootloader that made it impossible to roll back.
That's what they said about the S3 update last year that caused te device to freeze over 50 times a day (the SDSfix caused it).
That's what they said about several updates that were recalled because of fatal errors...
So pardon our reluctance to trust in that principle.

Strange: I've NO battery-drains at all, even with Gear 2 connected and 25 notifications active! My battery-usage is between 0,5-1,5%/hr!
SD-permissions is NOT the fault of Samsung: you'll have to blame Google about that!
Developers of apps were in-time informed about this change, but if they don't update their apps!

That wasn't the point. They were introduced with the updates, regardless of who caused them.
I don't have the drain issues either, but there are more than enough people here who do to warrant it an issue. Idle mine drains 1% in 10 hours. (Also, what is the point of 25 notifications? You can't see past 8 without scrolling a massive way down... And they don't fit in the small bar, either... )
I know it was Google's doing. I have about 35 posts telling people exactly that. I never said it was Samsung's fault.
Most app devs are simply too lazy. (Particularly the ones in this country.. Have you seen the RTLnieuws app? Good grief... And the Skyradio app is a direct iOS port that can't even run in the background..) Take OfficeSuite. one of the largest, most popular and most expensive Office apps... And still no updates permission. They're blatantly ignoring it!

US- Gear update out!

So I just got an update on my Gear S2, SM-R720. I believe this is the one that brings features from the S3?

Not for me yet.

Just a heads up. My battery life tanked after the update regardless of what I did. What fixed it was recharging a couple times. For some reason that worked.

No, it's really crazy that the $300 version of the Gear S2 still does not have automatic sleep tracking. I wish I could just flash it to the generic Samsung 3g firmware and be done with T-Mobile, but it doesn't seem to be a possibility (I started a thread here, but no responses so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-3g-t-mobile-version-flash-to-t3518844 ).
I'd also complain to T-Mobile directly, maybe if enough of us complain, they'll do something about it.

Hi rogerperk,
I have same Gear S2 732 in same firmware as you (in France), and for me too, battery drain is present
Sure, not as much as you, but now, I've got a "low battery alert 15%" at 23h00 when, before, I get to bed at 00h30 with 35-40% battery left ! For sure, there is something that change (same watchface as before) !
Sadly, 2 charging (and even more than 10 actually) dont change anything for me
Best regards

Not good. I recharged mine a couple times and did a factory reset and that seemed to do it. I'm actually getting far better battery life now. Over 24 hours and I'm only at 77%! I hope that keeps up! I cut out alot of stuff I don't use like NFC and constant wifi and heartrate checks. That sort of stuff.

Step counting on auto, how to turn off?

I was hiking the slot canyon in Anza yesterday and when I finally got back to a restaurant, I realized the phone , which I'd never enabled anything in particular on, had counted all my steps and several other things.
Does anyone know how to disable step counting on emui 5? I've done all the obvious things, like "disable step counting". Thanks. I don't care how many steps I've taken, only that I arrived.
Also: I meant to mention this but forgot. The camera works great for me, but that isn't good enough for the Honor 8. After I've taken some pictures, about 3 hours later, it always pops up a notification that says "I've finished enhancing your picture of _____" . What if I don't want an enhanced picture? Is there a way to turn off all this irritating crap? Thanks again.

If you are referring to the step count being displayed on the lock screen then you disable it through the screen lock settings. Otherwise, I believe it's in the Health App itself.
Not sure about the photo enhancing. Never seen that one before.

What app do tell you about step counting.
Plus, clear data and cache of the camera app and see if the pop-up is still present

I didn't even know that the Honor 8 had a built in step counter app in it's software.

The only fitness app I can find is called "google fit". I've disabled it. However, the steps are still there after disabling them on the lock screen & disabling the fit app, so I think it may be a bug or else there is another counter that just keep going. It's not that bad and it doesn't eat up any noticeable energy.

I just realized I had an app called "Health" and disabled it, and now it is gone from the lock screen. The lock screen setup doesn't work for turning off steps (or not showing them). The app was located in the /system/app folder as hw-health-midware.apk

Probably doesn't matter what my frd-l04 came with that I bought from newegg that I use on ATT. It matters more that I updated to Nougat and that's the beta which had the health app in it. On marshmallow, I never had the step counter or the health app.

Could you let me know the full build number of the firmware on the phone?
From settings -> about phone
For example, maybe it's MHA-L29CXXXBXXX
I was on vacation in America a week ago with a T-Mobile SIM, with the Mate 9 branded to Asia C636 and Europe C432, but neither did VoLTE, so I guess it's a unique feature of the American firmware.
If you're interested in helping to bring the American model's firmware to other people and helping out the community, please get in touch with me by PM, as there are many tests I want to run with your model.

That function edge lighting was a mess since my note 9 days. Seems like not much has changed.

Lol, that's reassuring. A long history of fail.
I just looked over my settings and it should be active.
Damned if I see it anymore (it works for a couple days once, long, long ago).
I reset it to factory load, the only possible option left; no power management is active.
I'll double check my blocked apks just for amusement.
Guess I'll wait and see if this takes:laugh:

That function has always been a major fail. So much so that I have it off ( phone wise ) .
Opposite of the OOS 11 , the horizon light works everytime for notifications

Bah-ha-ha-ha... it never uses any battery (yes, well) so I completely forgot it was enabled.
Guess it could be one of the mystery apks under Android Services sucking battery though.
Thanks for reminding to pull it's plug!

Major culling via adb or ccsw is a must when buying into one ui ecosystem.

Zippo raid it be for sure.
I have something like 86 blocked apks now. All but 6 or so of those are never needed. Lol, less run time, less trouble.
Sometimes with new apps I'll block them until I sort them out or throw them out.

I remember them breaking it with one of the major S9 updates, I think Oreo? It worked fine for me before that, never since
Seems to work with OneUI 3.0 beta now

As usual.
They like to finish off an OS (and phone) at the end. The lame duck phenomenon
