Just thought you may want to know.
it would be nice if you could share the changes log.
Changelog is just a security patch November.
Now, what worries me is the battery performance on standby is terrible on 198, nothing like 197... WTH? Anyone else with this issue?
I upgraded at 9am yesterday and haven't had any issues. My phone was charged to 100% at midnight and is now at 94 percent.

Initially I thought the battery performance had diminished. But perhaps the placebo effect from the expectations of a software upgrade are unreasonable/unrealistic. Particularly after the stupidly stupendous battery performance of the 197...hey its only been 12 hours post install. So we'll see...

anyone else having terrible battery life since the 4.4.2 update?
I can't believe how fast my battery drains now with average use. I used to get through the day and would usually be at about 70% left when I plug in at midnight. It's 4pm now and I'm already at 52%.
I've really noticed over the last 4 or 5 days after doing the OTA update on the 22nd.
I am connected to wifi all day, bluetooth is on, gps off. reallly only used for a few short phone calls, some texting and bluetooth streaming on my commute. This is the same usage and settings as was before the update with excellent battery life.
Looked around but couldn't see anything about this... am I alone here.
thanks!
I'm also noticing what I think is bad battery life. But I just got the phone and updated to KitKat before I even played around so I have nothing to compare to.
But I'm getting close to what appears to 12 hours on moderate use. This is my first full day with the phone so I'll know more in a couple days.

Has anybody found a solution for this battery drain? Im at 59% with 2hrs sot . My nexus 4 battery is better than this.

So far my average is around 2.5 hrs screen time at the 50% mark.
Today it was at 3 hrs screen time at 50% (14 hours total). This is my first day being rooted also. I've only had the phone for 8 days now however, not sure if it's normal or not. Coming from my gs4 it's a ton better!

Yup same here. I fixed my deep sleep issue with root, and greenify virtually everything, but screen on kills my battery pretty fast. Getting about what you guys are as well.

Apparently there is a new update that is available to international users that fixed the issues reported. Bluetooth always running, knock code, and decreased battery
Started using my Asus Zen watch 2 days ago. I have noticed a significant battery drain since. Before I would only lose 1 to 2% overnight. Now its 13 to 15%. My wakelocks are the same as prior to using the watch. Anyone have an idea where else I may look.

That's because it's communicating with another device via BT all the time. There's not much you can do other than unpairing the watch.

Thanks Timmaaa, I thought that might be true im just disappointed its that much. I was getting 2 days on with 5 hrs sot before now its been knocked down to 1 day and about 3.5 sot. I guess thats the price for having these extra gadgets
I just received the request to update.
Does anybody know what it is about? Did you try it yet?
I looked here and it is not there: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30276
This is a 47Mb patch, did anybody see it before?
yeah, I got update last night.. its G930TUVS4BQE1 now. I am on ATT Carrier and using TMO rom currently cuz i hate ATT rom.... update size was 45ish MB. i was not pay attention on it.
Got the update, it mainly updates security patch level to the May 2017 edition. I have not seen or noticed any other change so far.
I have noticed a huge increase in battery life.
Same daily usage. Off the charger for 10 hours 21 minutes. exactly 2 hours SOT. 55% battery remaining.
Before the update, I would be down to 30% already!!!.
anybody else try this update how battery life for the rest of you
I think I'm doing better on battery life too. No hard numbers but just seems better.
Does anyone know where to get the firmware for this version? Somehow my phone became rooted and I'd like to reset it to stock. I have Odin but I'm having issues getting the blasted firmware. Thanks
My pixel 2's battery is getting drained rapidly after the Feb update, I tried resetting the phone and booting into Safe mode but those doesn't seem to work. After checking online, I found that several Pixel 2 users are reporting the same and even Google is investigating and trying to fix the battery drain issue..
Since the march update is released, Does anyone find the issue solved???
Just installed the update last night, have not messed with the phone since then. I was having issues with the Feb update as well. So far, with minimal use this morning, it is looking good.
I feel for you lot who had battery drain after the last update. My phone battery life literally has got better this last month. This was yesterday...
Mine started drinking from 100,% to zero overnight after the Feb update.
I've completely installed March's update only installing a few apps per day to make sure it's not a rouge app.
All good so far. Only losing 3% overnight (8 hours)

That's still a lot. I'm leaving WiFi on and it's only draining 1%. Maybe a full reset might help. But yeah, going slow on app installation is better for now.
Have just installed the march update. So far 15% drain with an hour and 15 minutes SOT. Definitely better than Feb, but not as good as Jan

I've not seen it < 2% since the Nexus 4 so i'm relatively happy with 3% in 8 hours.
I always say if I can get through the day from charge to charge then I'm happy.
If i travel and i'm using it more then I have a power bank.
The full discharge overnight was concerning but if I install the rest of my apps and its still at 3% then i'm going to stop messing with it and forget about it.
working much better
Has anyone been able to remedy battery drain after March and June OTA updates? Any method to revert back to earlier firmware, I tried and got slapped with "binary 10 > 8 error." Has anyone had success with FDR? Safemode has no effect so far.
Admittedly I was a sleep at the wheel with this issue I allowed OTA update to G90UUESACSF1. After update, my battery life is about half. Can watch it drop while browsing. Been up for about an hour now and down 13% from a full charge under minor use. To boot, all of the progs listed "battery use" don't account for 30% of total use so far. Ahhh, good ole planned obsolescence.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing I could think of is re seating the battery.
But you would have to take apart the phone to do that

I repair these S7's daily, and it's not necessarily the firmware update but the age of the battery causing the quicker drain. Since they are about 4 years old now, the chemicals inside the cells has started to deteriorate, therefore the only solution is to replace it with a good quality battery (not a cheap $5 Ebay bootleg ones, but a $20 original!)
