Having been really impressive so far, my battery life appears to have dropped drastically over the last couple of weeks. Previously my battery would comfortably last the whole day, I could leave the house at the start of the day at about 60% and be confident it would easily last the whole day, now I leave the house on 100% and I'm down to about 20% by the time I'm home from work. In particular, whenever I'm down to 14% my phone seems to drop pretty much instantly to 8% .
I can't think of anything I'm doing differently, only thing that comes to mind is I updated my phone via my computer a few weeks ago but no idea if that's connected to the problem. I installed GSAM for a week ago and haven't really been able to pinpoint where all my battery is going, my phone has continued to show a lot less battery capacity than before and also seems to be taking longer than usual to charge.
As expected Screen and App Usage are the main drain on the battery both tend to be somewhere in the 40%-55% region. The only thing which surprised me is that Facebook (which I don't excessively use) is pretty much always at the top of my app usage, often at about 20%-30% of the app usage. So I can uninstall and reinstall this as it may be partly to blame but it doesn't really account for why my battery is dying so much quicker than before. I could also dim the screen a bit to help but I kind of don't feel like I should have to as I've never changed it the whole time I've had the phone so it shouldn't be a cause of why my battery has suddenly got worse.
Any ideas?
I think you have to perform hard reset for your Z3 (maybe some app "eat" your battery), or boot your device in a safe mode and try to recognize what application make battery so quick discharge. Try to use stamina mode.
Did you often charge your phone? After hard reset I recommend you train your battery couple times (3-4 times), for this you should discharge your phone to 1-2% and charge it up to 100% without disconnecting. I hope it will help you in your trouble.
How much screen on time do you get?
I recommend Better Battery Stats to see what's causing your drain(maybe you can attach some screenshots). And yeah FB drains a lot.
Unfortunately I am a new user of this forum and can't post outside links but if you will enter this "These apps are draining most of your data and battery life" words into the google search you will get very interesting article about battery usage of facebook and another very famous apps.

I'm currently having the exact problem. Without making any special changes. My battery has gone from the announced 2 day levels to just surging away in the background.
Here's some pics. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7QU-WxZhNG0SnZ3ZDV6eVM3WFk&usp=sharing
First is from 26th of February (Named 0226). This was the only picture I had from an earlier date. The rest is from today.

"I can't think of anything I'm doing differently, only thing that comes to mind is I updated my phone via my computer a few weeks ago but no idea if that's connected to the problem."
You know, with my old Xperia Z was the same think after update with computer and after I had performed hard reset everything has been ok with the battery. So If you will not try - you will not know. But be careful all what you will do is on you own risk.
I think it has to do with the latest google app update. My battery life has gone down hill this past week after that.
Same here mate!

Phew! Thought it was just me who had the problem. I thought it might be some apps I recently installed. I tried uninstalling them but the battery life seemed to have gone down regardless. Its not the same as it was about 2 months ago. I used to easily end the day with over 45-50% but now i need to recharge it around 9pm when its at 10-15%. It could be the new updates that are rolling in for the various apps i already had installed will install battery stats and wait for a better picture.

Does anyone of you use Spotify? It seems to be the culprit for me. Today I have 0,7%/h drain instead of 3-4% compared to yesturday. Haven't started it at all. Seems to be the problem. It was also updated this week in the possible range for when I noticed the problem
So I'm getting pretty bad battery life on my Spring Galaxy S6 Edge. I got the S6 last week and I can still return it to Sprint and get a different phone. (I'm looking at the G4 right now). I've been reading almost every battery thread on XDA and reddit and I just can't figure out how to get better battery life. I'm running the latest stock software. I am not rooted. I've already tried a factory reset and disabled all unnecessary apps.
Right to the point, I get around 2~2.5 SOT on my phone usually with only Wifi on, low brightness, and location set to battery saving. Now, I'm happy with how the phone drains when I'm actively using it. I got about 50 minutes SOT of reddit, instagram, facebook, etc and it drained about 15%.
What I'm not happy about is the idle battery drain/screen off drain. On multiple occasions, I charged my phone to 100% and let it sit over night. I would almost always wake up around 90 or 91% with around 8-10 hours of sleep. Other times, the battery just drains at a crazy 5%/hour. How do I minimize idle battery drain? It's driving me crazy. I don't think this is a problem with the S6 specifically, as I had this problem with my M8 running lollipop before.
I look at CPUspy and it looks like my phone is going to deep sleep around 60% of the time. I'm would like that number to be higher, but I'm entirely sure if 60% is good or not.
On GSam, I always notice that Android System and Kernel are top of the list. Not sure how to tame those. Other apps seem to be doing okay.
So I'm looking for tips and advice on how to make sure I'm getting the best idle drain without going into airplane mode. I know that if I get get idle drain down, then this phone or really any phone can last me all day and get 5-6 SOT. I also read somewhere that reflashing the firmware might help, but I'm trying to see all of my available options before I do so.
Thanks everyone!
EDIT: I'll also try to add screen shots after using it for a few hours!
You may have a defective battery. Return your S6 back to Samsung for warranty replacement.

Disable Location service when you don't need it, it drained lots of battery and install the above ver of Google Services will help battery. A new battery will take at least two weeks to completely optimize the battery.

Sorry, I don't buy that it takes two weeks to fully optimize the battery. I'm not going to take the chance and wait it up and hope it gets better when I can go back to the store and get a new phone.
Hi everyone , I'm new in the community but I already found that this is one of the best phone forums online , normally you come here for help because you have a problem right ? But today I'm just here to give an advice, I notice that many people complain about the battery life on their new phones , I had the same issue with my note 5 , I saw a video on YouTube and the phone showed an estimation of battery usage of 18hours while mine only showed 9 , I immediately thought that my phone was broken or something until a month later I realized that I was getting more than 20 hours of battery usage , when we use a phone for the first 3-5 days ( specially android) we can't expect it to be fully optimized because it's still learning your behavior and phone usage, just by installing a new app your making your phone to "learn to do something new" when I got my s7 edge I didn't expected to have great battery life , I was constantly installing and removing apps , flashing Roms and trying themes and etc. Now after a month later I use my phone on a pretty standard routine , I used package disabled but it only made my phone laggy and slower , so I decided to use my phone on the stock way , I running all stock , ( only disabled the apps that come with the phone that I don't use like power point , Samsung gear and health...) and after I did this I noticed a huge bump on battery life , I went from 12 hour of usage and 4:30-5hours of SOT to 30hours of usage and 8hours of SOT
After installing a custom/stock rom make sure to drain the battery completely just once to calibrate it !
I can never get more than 6 hrs sot.. Gonna follow your tips and write back in a week or so. Thanks for sharing!

Feel free to use package disabler, it was a lifesaver to me with my note 5 but not on the s7 , but other users report that has been really helpful other thing you could try even that the impact will be minimal is using a dark theme ,
Also don't update to the newer firmware if on Exynos. Seems to hit battery life by 25% or more as android system goes from around 5% to 15-20% battery usage.

with newer firmware you mean the may update?
with me it was the other thing around, in the beginning it was quite good but now, its worse. is it because of the bright sunlight or the phone getting hot because it was around 30 degrees almost?
you see...screen on time about 2 hours
most active battery drainer, android itself
Only way for me to get 4 hrs of sot i have to plug in to charge and disconnect before i get to 90 cause then it seems to thing its fully charged and battery meter resets (on battery).

The thing is, I have disabled half of the system already, but it just feels like it's doing even worse than before so I'm leaning back on running stock again.
Yes original firmware much better battery than the update

It didn't work either to me , this is what I think , it may sound stupid but it could be the true cause , I think when you use an app like package disabler to disable things on your phone and then you accidentally touch to open the app or setting disabled the phone will think "what's going on here" why is this disabled? And it maybe tries to access/ open the package again and again causing it to actually drain battery !, You could a cache wipe , it worked for me , I follow all guides to extend battery life using package disabler, custom rom , flashing zips to delete bloatware but none of them worked for me , instead I went all stock ,and after installing the stock rom I did a factory reset and them the cache wipe, it worked flawless to me , the phone now works like a charm , no overheating (maybe I don't feel it because I got a case ) but the point is try to find your own solution , every s7 edge it's unic, maybe a simple reebok on your phone could resolve all of your problems , and a very important thing !!!!! If you flash a rom /kernel make sure you let your battery drain completely just once to calibrate it!
I wiped nothing, stock rom latest APD1 , aod off now but on sometimes , location on, sync on 3 emails, disabled a few things with ez package disabler. Browsed the net for all the time the screen was on, WiFi on while screen of and on for atleast 2 hrs while using line messenger and used Spotify for around 30 to 40 mins. This is sot and battery usage.
I don't know how u manage to get such bad battery life, swear u guys r fu#*ING about with sh%t too much, let it settle.

Great battery life , you can easily achieve 3 days of battery life and 8-9 hours of SOT I guess which is great for you , just consider yourself in the 5% of people that own a phone with no battery issues , I'm happy with my 8hours of SOT and I could achieve 3days like you just by using WiFi, I use LTE because it's faster were I live but remember that there are people so disappointed with their phones because they want to get the most out of their phones and just can't, may I ask if you are amazed with your battery life or do you own other device that beats the s7 on battery ?
I am amazed, it's as good as, if not better than my previous phone the z3, which was running a custom rom and kernel.
I do consider myself lucky to have the phone run so well right out the box.
Also when I said alot r fu#&ng around with their device, I meant roughly the same as you, I didn't mean to imply their problems r not actually there. I meant as u had said, changing roms, removing apps for new, disabling apps, not letting anything settle, wont give good results in battery life.

Holy smoke, 5+ hrs sot in half of battery. I've been trying to get more than 6 hrs for like a month now with different roms and optimizations, not even close..
I hate to be the voice of cynicism, but we do need to stop this stuff somewhere. The original post is utter nonsense. The suggestion that phones 'learn' your behaviour just simply isn’t how kernels work. There's a very small degree of 'learning' but power management is a very reactive process based on exactly what's happening. The only thing new apps change is what processes are running, and the kernel will instantly scale to do what it 'thinks' is right. Some managers will observe processes for a bit longer and react based on that - but we're talking hours at most, NOT days.
The only credit I'd give to this idea (which seems to be all over XDA for some reason) is that the first few days people use their new shiny phone a lot more than usual, and probably also more than they’d think. They also become far more aware of battery life and will even turn on the screen just to check battery life, which will obviously accumulate batery drain - so the bit about using your phone more is certainly true. But anything about Android being some sort of AI Neural Network app learning extraveganza that learns what you do over several days is (for the most (significant) part) wrong.
Think this is just descending into another battery thread and we have one here already

Has anyone noticed their battery getting incredibly worse over time? I bought my S7 on release (non edge). And since then, I've noticed that it doesn't last no where near as long. Today, for example I started my day at 7:00am when the battery was 100%. As of 30 minutes ago, the battery reached critically low (5%). From 7am all I did was watch a few videos, facebook, snapchat and then play music. But all the above for not too long.
I've also noticed that once the phone hits the 15% battery (I know due to the notification), that within minutes the battery can be done to 10% or so, without touching it.
I'm more so tempted just to take it back, unless there's an easy fix OR it's a known issue with the current version.
Thanks!

I've definitely noticed this since rooting. Maybe it has something to do with that? Like a ROM you flashed or what not? I'd like some suggestions here as well.

I haven't rooted the S7, it was the first phone that I've left stock from opening.
What does the battery stats say is using the most mAh?
Facebook app is a known battery hog
Obviously over time, you'll install different things, and slowly the phone will start using more and more power running background apps
A backup and Factory reset will show if there is a hardware / battery issue, or if it's purely from stuff you've installed over time
Also clearing the caches from recovery could help
yeah ive noticed this too. My usage habits havent changed but my battery life is almost half of what it was when i just got the phone.

Cache has been cleared from recovery, and I don't generally install many apps so since I've bought the phone the apps have stayed the same.
Android system is always on top. Unless of course I spend hours on Facebook.
Might have to factory reset. I've used my phone with the same apps and time since I've bought it, and I'm finding I'm charging it 3x as much.
I think it's a root issue - deep sleep.
After S6 Edge Plus, when you root a samsung phone, it won't go in deep sleep. I believe there's a fix for that.
Have you checked the battery usage stats? It gives you the breakdown on what apps are eating up the battery.
I have had my S7 for about a month and battery is about the same.
Just to update this thread for those that may have a similar issue...the other day I couldn't live with the battery life the way it was. The phone used 50% in several hours where I barely used it.
Decided to completely re-flash with stock (was stock before) as opposed to simply wiping all data. A week in, and the phone's battery life is back to the way it was. I went to bed when it was on 100% (as a test) and woke up 7 hours later with the phone on 94%, with wifi, location and bluetooth on.
Not sure what had caused it to use so much battery previously, but it's back to what it should be and that's all that matters.
hi with my s7 exynos i do 3h screen. i think there is a problem. i bought my s7 one week ago. can anyone help me?
Rooting and installing custom kernels when done right should greatly increase the battery life of your device. This is a well known guide here on XDA for improving battery life for our devices.
That being said, Lithium Ion Batteries hold less charge the more cycles they are put through, its a given fact but as you said your device is relatively new and therefore should not be experiencing this kind of problem. The way I see this is there are 3 possibilities which may be causing the said problem...
1) You have rooted the device and done some modification/s. ( which you haven't done )
2) Your battery is being drained by a service ( Like Oculus or VR ) in fact a number of reddit users complained their S7 was overheating and battery was draining really fast for some reason. Check This page out, It might help you.
3) Battery Defect, you must've gotten a "bad" model, if you haven't tripped KNOX you could try bringing your phone to Samsung and see if they would fix or replace it.
Good luck
I think this has to due to them samsung updates. As far as i know samsung been always doing things like this where they made the OS slow as hell after a while so you gonna get a upgrade sooner but a battery should last 2 years minimal without degrading.

i get like 5 hours screen on time and bout 1 day standby time but i have most bloatware disabled with the package disabler. But if i was you i would contact samsung.
This happens with Samsung updates on every Galaxy phone. It's like a curse. It's unavoidable.

May i ask if the people with these problems use the fast charge? I hearing many bad things bout this so i switched it off and must say the normal charge isn't that slow and if it can keep the battery good for longer then we all should use this.
I turned fast charge off about a week after I got the phone, was making the phone and charger pretty hot for the sake of about 5-10 mins quicker charge
Pointless really, unless you are desperate, only have a few mins spare and need as much power as possible in that short time, and if that's the case, enable it for that one time
Restrict background data on all but the most important apps (phone, text, email), dave power all but the most important apps. Battery life is fine

Hi peeps did some googling and didnt really come up with any result about drain on making phonecalls.
have the s7edge exynos , have since the 1ste day it came out and have it arround 10 months , bought 2 of em , 1 for my wife and 1 for me.
in november and december last we had 2 minor updates but since then i m having real battery drain on making calls.
To know i do call an average of 6 to 7 hours a day but noticing a average drain of 10 to 12 % per hour wich i didnt had before the update, or all other samsung devices i ever had (note 2 and 3, s4, s3 etc)
useally i would loose only 20 to 30% on those 6 to 7 hours.
Further info is i mostly call with a bleutooth earpiece that mostly last for about 5 to 6h , is the bleutooth that is killing my battery ? who knows , but when i look battery stats it says "phonecalls" and on a day like that it says average of 75% battery usage :s , since i my wife has the same s7 edge, same updates etc, and it seemed that she has greater battery life, since her phone always lasted longer than mine, we switched phone for a day , to come to conclussion that it did just the same as mine , maybe a bit better then mine , her phone sat arround 65 to 70% drain on calling for the same amount of time. that could be justified since she doesnt use her phone as intensive as i do.
Dont know what those update were about since i dont follow tech and stuff as much as i used to do , have even derooted all my devices , specially as for the use of paying apps like paypal , mobile banking etc.
could be that those minor updates have do with kernel or stuff , that affect batterly life on calling ? it isnt the 1ste time that sammy brings an update that messes up our phone , like wifi and so on draining out batteries.
So by these are there ppl out there that are having the same drainage as both my s7edges do. looking for the ppl that cmakes calls for 6 to 8h a day
thnx
ps: excuse me if similar tread already excsists than mod you can remove this one
Yes ! You are not allone ...
maybe most people use their device for messaging or gaming ...
I have no idea what that could be ... I have a G935F which I have buyed 2 weeks ago ...
Even in the first calls I noticed that unusual battery drain in calls ...
8-10% per hour and the signal was good...
My device is still stock without root or any other modifications ...

just tested today and posted screenshot with an samsung advisor i think on the samsung page on fb and will post here asswel you will see i have 9h of use of wich i called 7.5h and nothing else , in the past i have rooted all my devices but not the s7edge because of all the mobile paying apps that sometimes dont work because of root and you can see in my stats that calls go for 79% batrery drainage and after 9h i m left with 39% batterly life, imagine if i owuld still play some video clip , play a few games and use mobile data than my handset would flat in 9h or less
ive reverted to an earlier fw from august 2016. will see tommorrow what battery stats will do
I flashed a few custom roms the last days an the problem seems gone ...
also android system seems fixed ...
yesterday i had a call for 1 hour and 12 min and only lost 4 %.
For my experience i dont have any problems with dead phones in the past , so i dont need warranty...
and for most software problems this forum helped me out ...
