New S7 high battery drainage (Pictures inside) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello,
My used S7 came in yesterday from Amazon and everything has been fine except the battery. The battery drains very quick. Earlier today the battery went from 100 to 80% in around 20 minutes and the phone was hot just on the home screen and browsing the internet..
The phone came with G930U software and I flashed it back to G930R4 which is what the phone is originally, then I flashed it back to G930U XAA because Oreo came out for it earlier today.
I disabled Always on Display, device scanning, etc. I even ran ADB and removed Gear Vr and bloatware apps.
Here's some screenshots:

I don't know why the Screen is using so much battery. Any help will be appreciated!

look at your SOT (Screen On Time) and also i used no auto brightness and set it up eith 0% brightness + lowerung resolution (720p instead of QHD) and using app callef Pixel Battery Saver to turn off some extra pixel. and don"t forget to make it black.

How can you solve it?
Don't let your battery get below 10%?
The system is designed so that when the battery gets too low it turns off a lot of stuff so that the device will last for longer to do what it was actually made for - be a phone.

Indeed often the cpu is slowed down to which would cause lag.
But yes the best thing to stop it would be to keep your phone charged

Phone is hot and battery draining

My LG G3 has been working fine since the day I got the phone. Was also rooted on day one. I have done absolutely nothing to it besides rooting it. I woke up this morning and unplugged from the charger. After an hour of absolutely 0 use, the battery went down to 80%. It is now down to 35% after a few hours and the phone remains hot. Any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this? I have also posted a screenshot of betterbatterystats,
EDIT: I did go into WIFI settings and changed Keep WiFI on when screen is off to NO this morning. I have since changed it back to YES and the overheating problem has gone away. Anyone had this problem before?

How long have you had the phone? You may want to restore (unroot) and return the phone for a new one.

Wifi/Android System/ Android OS problems.

Hi, I need help on this. It has been days since my battery has gone haywire and I don't know what happened. I just saw that my WIFI isn't turning off even though i toggled itoff in settings/quick settings. I thought maybe a simple reboot may fix it but no. I came from CO12 to Exodus to Bliss but all have the same problems. Wifi isn't turning off! All my settings are stock. Kernels are stock also. I'm getting an average battery life of 3 1/2 hrs SOT which is awful for my usage. Also AndroidSystem and OS is killing my battery but I disabled Google PlayServices which should help. My only concern is the Wifi not turning off. Pls help thanks

Hi.
I use this app wich does only cut on and off the network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en
(you can also apply a screen filter to help stop battery drain)
But I doubt its your only problem... I tested with and without the app, and the difference is almost not visible. Also, my wifi (when app off) is in third place on battery usage, and I have at least a good 5-6 SOT..

Some people say that it is a common bug in Android 5.0. Can anyone confirm?

The known bug with wifi is not battery drain but the difficulty to connect, to link the network.

And how many screen on ? (most important) 4h for me
Screen on 2 hours in the morning and 3/4 after, MM is great with the battery, but i miss root access
i got between 2 and 4 hours depending on signal strength... for me there is no improvement in MM to LP.. but i think there can be if we could only limit the screentouch boost and/or the max frequencies of booth clusters

Check out which apps are draining the most battery. Then select them to sleep via Greenify. Whenever you put your phone on standby, select the Greenify button shortcut instead of double tapping your screen to turn off. And use a normal charger instead of the fast charger that comes in the box, whenever possible. Only use your fast charger when urgency occurs.

Under 2 hours battery life on S7 Edge

I have had this problem for quite some time... however I always thought it was completely normal until... I noticed it is not. I read many reviews about this phone found that I should be getting around 5 to 6 hours which seems amazing but completely out of reach. I switched from an old iPhone 6 which made this seem like much better battery life. I used to get a bit more battery life but now not anymore. I am rooted and have tried many methods but all have failed. I am running a close to stock ROM called 'The Galaxy Project' which I like having. I have wanted to post this for quite some time. I charge my phone overnight and need it for the whole day, however it dies at half of the day. I have:
- Always on display off
- Screen res on 720P
- Bluetooth off when I don't need it
- Easy turn on is off
- Mtweaks is set to be a balanced power consumption
- Greenify is running on many apps
- Battery health is approx 84% which is said to be 'good'.
Sometimes I manage around 2 hours and 30 mins but this hasn't been happening very often recently.
Feel free to ask any questions... I have read many forums and none have seemed to help!! I really want to fix this problem.
