Hello guys,
I have a problem with my new Galaxy S7. The battery is draining way too fast.. I'm constantly getting around 2 hours of SOT a day and the battery lasts about 12 hours... I'm desperate... I have tried everything from turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, uninstalling apps to even factory resetting the phone. The problem is still there.. Please help me
BTW, my battery level is dropping 1% every 2-3 minutes

So after resetting it and without installing any app you still have 4-5% battery drain per hour on standby ?

No, I have 1% drain every 2 minutes when using the phone on light tasks( Internet, messaging, Facebook and email). Little to no battery drain is visible when not using the phone. But I can'tell get more than two hours of SOT on a full charge

I'll suggest you do something that worked for me, charge your phone to 100% and then restart it. Idk if it will work for you but tell me if you see any difference.

Facebook app is draining battery like that for me at the moment.
Uninstalled Facebook and it's still there... Nothing funky in battery stats apart from high usage on Android System
Update: just done another factory reset, the problem still persists

That's weird, try disabling everything you don't need like Bluetooth, NFC if you haven't already. Turn screen brightness lower, disable fast charging and "nearby device scanning", optimize the apps in settings/battery. Then do a restart and see if it makes any difference.
Hi mate,
I was in the same boat on Monday with a faulty device that overheating and kept freezing.
What I found was I had a weird bug, and 'Mediaserver' was constantly the biggest battery drain.
So saying that, when you go to your battery stats, what is your phone telling you is the main culprit?
Try this: charge your device to 100% restart it and then unplug the charger.

Hello,
The main battery consumer when looking at the battery stats is Android System.
Take a look at this
After a couple days of owning the S7, I checked battery usage of apps
OM Customise = 10%
KNOX = 10%
I've installed Package Disabler Pro, and disabled both the above, charging the phone now and will see if it makes any difference
If the above is true, that should give me 20% back by the end of the day

I am curious what others are seeing in terms of deep sleep percentage and as a direct consequence battery drain? I have no 3rd party apps installed yet on my phone and have Google set to sync only Inbox, Pics, Chrome, Contacts, and Calendar. I also have most of my apps set to close with screen off. I only keep Inbox, Hangouts, and Nova Launcher running. With these settings I get a deep sleep % of about 85%. Whats really perplexing the awake time (with screen off) is over 3 hours over a 48 hour period which results in about 1.5% battery drain per hour. I know from previous experience with Android that this is mainly due to power wakelock which is essentially apps syncing. However, with all my other phones I usually get about 95-97% deep sleep at idle and a battery drain of about 0.3-0.5% per hour.
So my question...what are you getting in terms of deep sleep percentage at idle and battery drain rate per hour?
i noticed the same on my mate 9 after latest firmware update after few days but havent figure out what is causing it yet

This is overnight time so there is no wifi and network data. I have root and debloat all huawei apps. Currently there are about 100 apps on my phone and there is no app managing battery except the stock huawei one. You can go back a few pages to see what I use in my normal days. Currently I start to play a new game with my friend, it's called Valkyrie Connect and with this phone I can handle it for about 6-7hrs of playing game at 40% brightness with 15% battery left. Let it settle for a few day then see if it helps.
Hi All,
Is anyone getting really bad standby drain on the Exynos version? Soon as I take the phone off 100% charge within minutes of checking it again it falls down to 98% with nothing running or in the background. Last night while I slept for 8 hours it lost 11% which 0 apps running in the background. Please let me know cheers.

Hi I've had the same experience with the note 10+ s20 ultra and now note 20 ultra, at work today on lte connection I got 2.5 hours sot over 12 hours at the end of which my battery was empty. This might improve when the software learns my usage patterns but I found there's nothing you can do about the standby drain, the only 2 brands in my experience with good standby battery life are Huawei and apple.

Yeah I had the exact same issue with my note 10 plus even with learning usage which I sent back. Just come from the Huawei Mate 20X which had the best battery life to this. Hopefully it may improve otherwise I can't see myself keeping it.
I had the P30 Pro and the battery life was far better than this. Let's hope it improves over the next few days.
Just installed the new update which may help.
4h normal use (about 1h screen on), the battery dropped from 90% to 50%
The standby drain is really bad. Really hope after few days of usage it can improve tremendously
4% overnight only.
Yesterday, 6 hours SOT. 7am to 10pm. 120hz. Typically getting 5 to 6 hours SOT.
Did any of you tried putting apps to sleep apps in settings? I did that on my note 10 plus and I think it matters.

Exynos. Quite normal to get anywhere between 5 to 6.6 hours SOT. With 120hz and everything on.
Do you guys disable any bloatware apps? Either via adb or package disabler. There are some apps that run like Samsung push service, smart things, etc.

Not interested in doing anything like that, so no.
7 hours sleep time. Battery discharged only 3 percent.
Before sleep it was 81%. Morning woke up to 78%. Exynos version.

Turn off auto brightness and turn off adaptive power saving.
I had battery drain since Galaxy S4, S6 Edge Plus, S9, S20 Ultra and Now Note 20 Ultra. Same story every year about battery drain.

How does Auto Brightness affect the standby battery drain? I am curious.
When you go out doors day time or sunshine your screen automatically goes full brightness so it will drain battery quickly. Keep your screen brightness low or medium
Now I'm past the first week or so I'm having no battery issues. Happy as usual with my next Note!
I get around 3% battery drain in around 7 hours overnight, but then at work I might not use it for an hour and its drained 3 or 4 %. Maybe alot to do with signal.
I had this phone for about a week now. Got used to all the features. Did all the things needed to calm the draining issue. But no budge. I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

And do you think that doing a hard reset and setting it up as new can improve the battery?
I lost 5 or 6% overnight, and after last week's update that's been reduced to 3%
I have poor reception at work and even there I have way less drain now, so I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like some app(s) that are draining too much battery imo.
Would probably help if y'all uploaded screenshots of your battery graph. i'm getting 9.5 hours SOT at FHD resolution with Power set to Optimized. I also use the Samsung Browser and not the Battery Hog Google Chrome Browser.

You should check which apps comsume battery too much, then decide what to do next.
When i first started i weren't happy at all with the battery drain. It barely used to last with 5hrs or so of screen on time! (Light usage too)
After the first 4 days it got better. I used an app called Alliance Shield X, which i believe helped me a lot. Now I'm happy with my battery drain.
Edit: Also the Galaxy Max Hz App.

Alliance Shield X helps to disable packages, create firewall, adblock, etc...
Galaxy Max Hz allows you to adjust screen refresh rates (highs and lows), and a few other settings like lowest hz on screen off/Aod refresh rate
Instander is just some 3rd party Instagram with additional features, lol. I don't use it a lot so i can't say for certain, but looking at the stats, it seems to be a decent drain

Hi. What kind of battery consumption do you have overnight?
On custom Roms plus like Battery Guru - anywhere around .3%-.5% idling. But even on like Beta + battery guru it's about .5-.8%. Straight beta with no root etc - about 1 - 1.5% - so android has it locked in pretty good imo.

Is that per hour, or total?
I saw this thread last night before bed and decided to check for myself. Phone was 63% @ 10:30 and 59% @ 7:30, so 4% for ~ 9 hours of standby (about 0.45% / hour).
Probably not the typical user, I have zero social media installed and get few texts overnight. I had only one this morning, spam about my Amazon account being locked (yeah, right). The only app that always runs in the background is an email program that checks two POP3 accounts every 15 minutes.
Stock, rooted, running Lawnchair 12 launcher.

Yeah - per hour. Some of that doesn't really translate because you use lawnchair and I might not, you might root and I may not etc etc.
The real comparison is from stock to roms etc.

Which is why I mentioned the things I thought relevant to create potential differences. There are probably more, but I would imagine they have diminishing impact on battery drain.
Normal drain on any build should be ~0.4-0.6%/hr. AOD will bump that to ~1-1.5%/hr. Anything more than that and you have something going on with an app, setting, or something else.
At my place, the consumption is 4% from 11 pm to 6 am. Is it possible to go lower? My Nord 2 used 2% max for the same amount of time. Often it was 1%.

When I get super low readings - sometimes like 2% drain over 10 hours...I tend to think it's more of an estimate that's skewed. I don't think in reality I'm ever really getting it that low.
The above averages are about right.
Maybe we need a 'rooted w/ batt tweaks' thread too...be interesting to see how much can be shaved off with various settings 'tactics'.
In Nord 2 in OxygenOs there is an option to additionally reduce the phone's activity during sleep. The phone then does not respond as often to notification detection. Maybe that's where the 2% results come from.
I get about .3-.5%/hour overnight on @stebomurkn420's crDroid.
3-5% per hour?

Turn off cell data always active. If the screen is off it should sleep regardless of the signal.
There's a ton of apps that help with battery life and I like battery guru personally...but honestly, I tried just keeping my phone in battery saver mode and didn't see a difference in performance. I don't use it for gaming etc. so I'm pretty low tech...but just that was pretty killer if I remember.

So then when would my notifications come through? Only if I wake the phone, or does it still check for notifications every 5-10-whatever minutes?

That will be app specific. If you live on low signal cellular only (ie no WiFi) then just expect bad battery with this phone. The modem in these is inexcusably bad.
