Hello,
I am currently on stock Oreo with April 2018 update. Battery life is 3hr to 4hr screen on time (that would take it to around 10-20%). Has anyone decided to downgrade? If yes, did battery life improve?
Thanks

It might be my imagination but I swear my battery life has gotten worse since my I did the last OTA update. Has anybody noticed any difference in better or worse battery life since the last update?

It actually seems better to me. I am not heavy user but before it would be pretty much empty at the end of the day. Now it hovers around %40 mark.
are you having any problems with charging the battery?
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.
Hi guys thinking of getting this device for someone , wanna know that how is battery doing now after nougat update?
For me it's worse every app that I download that I also have on marshmallow drain's battery More
The battery life on Nougat is bad. I really hope Samsung can sort it out, because I like Nougat and don't want to have to stay on Marshmallow.
So I just reset from the new beta 3 9.0 due to terrible battery life. I also have heard 5.1.9 has terrible battery life as well. Should I just stay at 5.1.6 for now?

No. It does not have terrible battery life. A few people are having issues and blaming the update. Battery life is a userspace issue.
If you're concerned, do a full wipe and update, and you should be fine.
Hey,
I get second hand g930fd few weeks ago. I expected a better battery performance but it's horrible. I replaced the battery with an original one and again no improvement.
Can You suggest a solution?
I can't believe, that the 3000mah can't survive all day on average to high usage.
Currently on rooted Oreo stock rom.
Thanks in advance,

Gaming eats battery very quick
Not gaining at all. I am making around 2.5-3 hrs. SOT with one discharge.

Same here. Latest Oreo firmware and terrible battery life (it was the same before with marshmallow). I noticed that Android system is above screen in battery usage. That's not good. Something on Android is draining the battery. No idea what. I have a g930a running a g930u ROM for xaa (no company).

Have you tried re-aligning the dylithium matrix in the warp core?
I jest. But seriously every update adds more bloatware and system demands on the battery. Samsung is nudging you toward its latest phone the Sammy 10 but since there's no real need for us to pay a Kings ransom for their latest flagship every 12 months they need to up the game a little and this is how they do it.
They don't want customers holding onto old phones, no they want you to be impressed with a new camera or button or super-duper screen or something as equally unimpressive.
Custom ROM is they way to go and drastic de-bloats of stock firmware. Be ruthless, if you don't use it, get rid or disable.
Tried a full stock firmware flash with Odin? Assuming selling it second hand all they did was factory reset via settings or recovery, which isn't as clean as a full odin flash.
So any suggestion? Did the batterystat reset, let's see if it's work.
Probably downgrade to Android 7?
