Hey all !
I am back to O+O since 1 month as I was able to find a bamboo version.
Previously, last year, I owned a normal O+O running CM11 and I was really happy with battery life. I was wable to go trough my working day and then get a drink in the evening and keep battery life until morning.
With the Bamboo one I have now, it is impossible. I am around 10% of battery life near midnight. The only differences I see are :
- Bamboo cover (I don't think it is impacting battery life)
- The phone is 1 year old, perhaps the other owner did something wrong with the phone and ruined the battery
- CM12
I think the answer is in the version of CM ... Can you confirm me that ? Do you know if I can downgrade from 12 to 11 ?
My phone is used at work, not too much, I shutdown useless services and connection as LTE, Bluetooth, NFC, Location, ...
So that's really annoying I am already lowering my usage of this fabulous phone to be able to reach a full battery day and it is getting me sad
Thanks in advance for your help and toughs and excuse my poor english

I'm guessing its going to be due to CM12 which has poorer battery life across different devices compared to previous life on Kitkat. You can go back to kitkat or run both via multrom which is what I do. You can compare both and I clearly see that kitkat standby time is far better with probably an extra hour or 2 screen on time. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not your going to need to, to flash back to previous android versions.

I had also the feeling the issue is caused by CM12 and Jelly bean.
thanks for your idea of multirom, I am going to have a look at that tonight !

Its definitely worth it, theres a guide to booting lollipop and kitkat roms alongside eachother in the thread below. Sounds tricky but once you get the right files together its fine.

MultiRom is installed and updated, I am now checking your loink to get the right version of KitKat rom and I'll install it.
I'll come back here with my impressions asap.
Thanks !
Mates, will you please point me to the guide about version numbers?
I have L29C185B190, is L29C185B320 newer version than myne?...
Is it worth to update?
I have EMUI 4.0, how would I update it to 4.1 ?
Sorry for these dumb quiestions, I just got new phone...
Thanks in advance!
320 is newer but its not without its bugs. If you have a stable experience on 190 I'd say hold off any upgrades, at least until we see what the final release of nougat looks like
Thank, bro.
What about EMUI update? Or it should be done with the whole image? Is there any guide to read?
I had Galaxy Note before, and a bit confused now...
I did mine with the full downloaded image, but if you have an ota available then you could just use that. At the time there was no ota for me

Hi tatuk,
Just bought huawei mate 8 and i found that the battery life is not as well as i'm expecting ( 14% after 20 hours with moderate use).
Can you please tell me about your battery life with this rom version ?
It will be useful,, thanks.

Sounds to me like a fairly typical usage scenario, but of course that's largely dependent on your usage habits, screen brightness, cellular signal quality, etc.
Depending on my usage I've observed anywhere between 6-36hrs between charges. Just today I got 15hrs (down to 35%) with only 4.5hrs screen on time
Good day.
I have been seeing in some post that after March (APC8) update, because of some mess in android, S7 began to use much more battery.
Did anyone compare it in real life?
Is it worth to downgrade?
If yes, what other function will be lost after the downgrade? (couldn't find any firmware version changelog)
Thank you.
hi, there is a noticable difference in battery life and SoT, I could hit around 6H SoT with my 900F (exynos) with mid/high usage running APC8, it was a very good built.
running BPJ5 atm and hitting around 3H SoT, sometimes little more or less so... yeah i guess its worth downgrading if you dont mind some minor updates and Samsung Cloud, I upgraded mine a few weeks ago, because of Samsung Cloud support and theres Android 7.0 behind corner so I would update anyway. cheers
im still wondering how could Samsung ruin the battery life so bad and not fix it for more than a half year
Im running BPJE latest update. Im on 5hr sot with 18hrs standby

Thank you for your reply.
From what i have read, it is android source code issue, not Samsung.
Maybe with 7.0 Nougat upgrade and it's enhanced Doze, could be back to the old battery life.

we will see. what is really intriguing is that some users are just fine with post-APC8 updates, like falcon here, i dont get it, really...
I have debloated my S7, no GPS, no heavy gaming.. i just dont get it..
I haven't tried BPJE yet, and I might after seeing this thread. I've tried BPJ1 and BPH6 and battery life was horrible - about 3hr SOT. Switched to APC8 and battery life doubled.
Update: I've now updated to BPJE, and the battery life is really good. Almost as good as APC8. Performance is better on BPJE so it's a good compromise between battery life and performance.
Is it just me or is battery life worse on nougat?
Did you do a factory reset after updating?
Back up your data and do it. Use the Recovery Mode (Phone off -> Hold power / Vol Up and Home Key) and wipe Cache/Factory Reset.
If possible install everything fresh and don't use backups (except for messages etc of course). Especially on an Exynos model of the S7 Nougat's battery life should roughly equal or be better than Marshmallows, Snapdragon also, but since i don`t live in the US, i can't verify, since the majority of my friends and myself use the Exynos version.
Also check your apps for wakelocks and the like. Disable/uninstall apps not needed (for example if you don`t use Samsung VR/Gear, deactivate it. It will help improving battery life).
Other than that, enjoy nougat
I did a fresh install and battery life is horrible.
I am facing this too on the exynos variant after updating to Nougat via OTA. BTW what does formatting have to do with fast discharge after update? I mean it shouldn't make any difference.
try changing mode
is it possible that you might be constantly in high performance mode?
as it increases screen resolution and backlight , might be the cause of battery drain.
I've gone up from 5 to 5.5 hours SOT on MM, to 6 to 6.5 SOT on N. Should definitely be better.
Make sure you turn off all the junk like smart stay and gesture sensor crap.
I feel nougat battery life is better either.

My battery life is a JOKE after the upgrade (via ODIN) to Nougat. I did flash HOME_CSC to keep all my data. I've disabled all the extra settings, knocked the resolution down to 1920x1080 and made sure it's on optimized performance. I've also put every non-essential app to sleep mode. I do use my phone more than average, but I haven't gotten a whole day's battery yet. It also is back to burning 5-10% overnight night on cell standby that it wasn't doing with 6.0.1!!
I love the look and feel, but this isn't worth it for me. I use TrueCaller, so I don't need the advanced call blocking. I use Nova Launcher, so there's that. I haven't found another major advantage yet to outweigh the bogus battery life.
I'm going to wipe the whole phone and restore only text messages and see how that goes this weekend. :crying:
try reseting all app permissions by going to :
settings> applications> click on the 3 dots on top right> click reset app preferences.
now restart ur fone and enjoy the awesomness of nougat !
*please not that this trick will only benefit people who are having high android os or system drain by default ( or since the install of nougat), which could be caused by nougat new permissions conflicting MM.
Battery life idle drain had increased for me in nougat. Now get 4.5 hrs earlier never got below 5hrs sot.

WOW I just can't believe how bad battery life is on Nougat. It has similar battery life with AOSP based ROMs that are early in their development. I was hoping that either the reports are not true but not only they are true but I wish I could show everybody how bad it is. I will flash Marshmallow back and stay there until this mess gets fixed. This is seriously scary, I can't believe they released the firmware at this state. Even more I hope they will eventually bother to fix it because something tells me they won't.
How bad it is for you? For me its bretty good. Today i put my phone to charge on 1% battery left. Before that i look battery usage. 49h online and 5h31min sot. I only use 4g not wifi

I have atleast 6-8% draw per hour with it being in my pocket without any radios on or doing anything at all. This is a disaster. I flashed back MM and Ithink I'm gonna stay here. TBH I didn't like the changes in Nougat. I thought I would but I didn't. There are alot of stuff that make no sense to me but having a terrible battery life on top of that it's a deal breaker.
EDIT: Oh did I mention that this draw is with PSM on? Without it it's even worse!
Also I feel that PSM on Nougat is inferior to MM. It makes no sense.
Even worse is UPSM, the MM equivalent was better.
Ugh, I just really wanted to like Nougat but I'm so dissapointed.
Hi, I have G930T US t mobile variant of gs7, t mobile is pushing update cant turn it off. Last time when i had PG1 update battery life was awesome! at least 2 days of normal usage, after PK1 update phone was getting hot and battery became lasting for only 1 day! It is loosing power when i am not touching the phone average 5 persent in standby. So i am hoping after nougat my 2 day happiness of battery life comes back.....
Back on MM and battery life is day and night difference. It can't be on my mind. Went for jogging for a bit over an hour with music playing and it just went 1% down.
G930T. Yesterday updated to Nougat, after PK1 Nougat defenately wins in battery life. Phone is not getting hot, stable battery. After update battery was 70% so i got 23 hours of normal usage calls texting facebook + AOD with 70% battery. Perfect!
I am terribly disappointed at nougat. The battery drain at MM was 1 procent during 5 hours (!!!) with some tweaks but nougat is totaly crap.
I have 2 procent every hour with nougat at standby and after I have deleted a lot of bloat.
But I have a problem. When I go back to marshmallow by flashing via ODIN I cannot hear sound during calls. Why?
Also having battery issues since the Android OS update. My battery usage indicates 'Android System: 21%' and 'Android OS: 15%' which seems abnormally high. Have tried the 'reset app permission' solution that has been suggested and see how it goes.
This is very disappointing as I just got my S7 and had been enjoying great battery life until the Android OS update. Is there a consensus on a solution/any indication from Samsung as to a fix?
Thanks.
If you have battery issues try to disable Chrome and use the Samsung browser or Opera Mini or pretty much any other browser. Chrome is a battery waster of gargantuan proportions under Nougat for me. Only using another browser wasn't enough for me, I had to disable it in the settings.
Thanks. Actually Chrome hasn't been giving me problems. It seems that the 'reset app permissions' trick worked (OS and System items in battery usage window are back down to 2-4% which is as it was).
Thanks for help.
I have run out of ideas. I have uninstalled apps, repaired the OS, done everything I can think of. The battery life of this phone is the worst I have ever experienced in a phone. I can barely get a day out of this phone (2hrs 30 SOT). I'm at my wit's end. Is it just my device or do others experience this. And does anyone have any idea what I can do?
Unfortunately Sony doesn't pack much into their batteries and software does take a toll. I had a Huawei P9 and P10 Plus and I would get a solid day of heavy use, with my XZ I can't make it to early evening with comparable usage. I prefer Sony handsets to all others, but I have to agree with you in that battery life is crap.

Yeah, but it wasn't always like this. I used the Z2 and it had great battery life and I also used a Z3 dual and it's battery life was even better. Compared to those 2, the XZ's battery life is shockingly bad. I used to get 6-7 hrs SOT on my Z3, 2 hrs is a struggle on this phone.
Check for phone idle battery drain it nukes my battery since 7.1

The phone idle battery drain has been high since 7.1 for me as well. I thought it was an app. But I uninstalled every app that might cause that, and yet...

Make sure you do a factory reset after the update.
You will thank me for it later.
Also if you want to seriously see major peeofmance and battery improvement, you need to root and installtlal duality dra4.
People are achieving 5-10hour sot with 24-48hours usage.
The experience in this rom is night and day compared to stock.
Stock ROM is complete turd.
I'm giving you this information from my first hand experience. You need this rom, else you will continue to be disappointed I know this.
Why do I know, well I've been with Sony for 5years and haven't rooted for the passed 2 years until now. It's a must to root this phone else it's merely mediocre.
However the choice is yours

+1 ...man this is all thru... i have same xperience with Sony devices...i had xperia z,z2,z5 and now xz and since z5 everything is going down...less battery life...same speakers since z2...very bad loudspeaker its so low that even a low budget phone beats it.. also OVERHEATING badlly...but the design of the phone is way better then any competition atleast for me...and also xz is very durbale phone it fellt 5 times already on concrete also 2 times fell directly on the screen and nothing is broken yet...screen has only 2 little scratches and of course all corners are beaten up a little bit hehehe over all very durable trust me...this new plastic that they use is so good...and at the end i really must say that rootin is a must for this phone cuz since i got it i had constant problems with stock rom, specialy with ram usage it gave me lags all the time but now i use custom rom and xz is flying like it should.

Install wakelock detector or betterbatterystats and check what's draining your battery. This phone should easily achieve 1 day battery life. I'm getting 3,5-4 of Ingress (AR game that uses GPS+Mobile Data+screen on - so it's hard to drain more)m and about 5sot with normal use
