Standby drain - Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy S7's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I lost 10% of battery the past two nights. I have the always on feature turned on tho.

The mine 0,5% a hour
Inviato dal mio SM-G930F utilizzando Tapatalk

I typically lose about 4-5% overnight. Not bad, but not as good as a Nexus

I have a massive batterydrain in standby when I am connected to WiFi. When I'm on mobile data I have no batterydrain at all in standby
I don't have a clue why it is like this

I lose 18% over 8 hours. Maybe I'll try turning wifi off tonight. That said, battery life overall seems really good. No problems whatsoever getting through a full day on one charge.

Go to WiFi > more > keep WiFi on during sleep > off
More than likely your WiFi is causing the drain by the always scanning feature turned on

Have that setting now but should not have to. On my S6 I have it allways on and there is no batterydrain problem.

with heavy use, 2 days battery life without charging. and also its charging is pretty fast too

I loose 1% over a 7h night on plane mode.

I bearly loose 1% per night (wifi on/always on display). Even in heavy use, the battery doesn't give up that easy...

What tweaks/optimizations do you have? Exynos version or SD820?
I have the SD820 with package disabler pro and greenify and I lose about 5% overnight...

Hey man,
I have the exynos version. Still on stock, i just used "package disabler pro" - as you do - to get rid of all the bloatwares and apps i don't use.
Oh, and i don't know if that's relevant, but i disabled the fast charge, in order not to preserve the - non switchable - battery, it still charges quite fast.
I've checked three times now, i was never below 99% when i woke up.
Hope it helps.

only lost 1% with Always on Display? That doesn't sound right
I lose about 2-3% over night without Always on Display

Yet this is. I just turn the phone back (with the screen hidden) so that the "always on" doesn't turn on.

I am having massive battery drain
My phone drops 20% in 2 hours on standby and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out why android os is taking 500mb of data a day

20% Over night absolutely not normal!
Have to recharge phone twice a day.
I am on stock and cannot apply root (this is company phone).
When I had Nexus 5, battery drain was not so horrible.

Here is a picture of my battery drain
From start I have WiFi on and then I turn WiFi off and the battery drain stops
Can't understand why WiFi is draining my battery like this ?

3% battery drain every 5 min. normal?

I know this is another battery topic, but specifically I am getting a drain of about 3% every 5 minutes while browsing the web on data. I am getting this drain at both 50% and 20% brightness. This drain seems high to me. I mean, during that 5 minutes, I am mostly just browsing one long page, so there is not much data activity going on in any case. Bluetooth, gps, and wifi are all off. I would like to hear other folks' experience.
Edit: my old hd2 with a small 1250 battery is running android and is only losing 1% every five minutes while doing the same thing!!
Possibly. Screen white or black factor. Type and speed of connection. Background processes. Battery temp. But that is a little higher.

If your on LTE that's your problem. Try to use wifi as much as possible.

Same for me. I'm not on LTE, I'm on 3g in Sweden. Just tried it myself and it drained 3% in 5 min of surfing with the stock browser.
And 2% more while writing this reply, that took 2 minutes.

I went out to do some Boxing Day shopping in the morning and used the phone quite a lot. Came back with 48% battery about 2 hours ago, haven't used the phone since and it still has 48% battery lol.

Your not supposed to use it, just keep it in your pocket.
Its probably down to bad battery calibration. This is a lot less to do with 'conditioning' the battery - which you don't need on Lithium based batteries - and more to do with Android understanding what level is 100%, 99%, 98% 50% and 0% etc.
Until you've been through a few real cycles from full to empty, the % is pretty inaccurate. Most people recharge at around 20 to 40% just because a charger is near by or its bed time, and that usually results in the levels being even more inaccurate at the higher end.
For example my battery will drop from 100% to 70% very quickly, the next 30% even slower and the last 40% seems to last forever :/
If you're rooted wipe your battery stats, do a full charge and let it drain to 0. The type of usage probably isn't that important, so play a game for 4 hours if you want . If you're not rooted, doing the same will still help make it more accurate, but of course previous usage will mess with those results.
---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
EDIT: In fact try this.. turn off the screen timeout temporarily, and leave it on the web page. Check the % every 5 minutes and keep a note of them. You should see that its not 3% over 5 minutes once you get past the first 10 to 20% of the battery.
Here is my overnight battery drain test. My phone was idle the whole time. Only on 2G mode and no wifi, no gps and no bluetooth.

Should have mentioned that its a GSM model.

Silly GSM users commenting on LTE device. tsk tsk... they just don't understand the immense power + battery drain of LTE.
LTE drains battery much much faster then GSM/3G. That's how it is on ALL LTE phones & the fact that the GN also has the biggest screen helps rape the battery. Sadly, what you are experiencing is normal for LTE. Im on my 2nd Nexus & calibrated both of the ones i had. Same exact issue as you and regardless of what apps/settings you adjust/disable, it's not going to help with battery much at all unless you turn off "mobile data"/LTE(or go into airplane mode).
When i have LTE on and am actually using the phone it seems like it's going through 1% battery every 1-2 minutes.... yet if i turn "mobile data" off it goes through 1% every 8 - 10 minutes instead. oh and all you weirdo "look how long my battery lasted NOT using my phone!" freaks... if i activate "airplane mode" & turn off the screen the battery will last 2 days. wee!!.. (why even have a phone lol)

I had both the LTE and GSM models. While both are terrible on battery, they lasted about the same. I did have the extended battery in the LTE, so I take that in consideration when saying they lasted about the same. No huge difference on the LTE.

I am stock rooted
This battery drain is so pathetic, please help me out on this one guys.
I charged to 100%, then played games for like 50 minutes, Plants Vs zombies for around 32 minutes and Kingdom rush for the remaining.
Charge became 84% , not sure if this one is to be expected.
But the main issue was the drain during screen off, i went to sleep when the charge was 84% and the device was screen off for almost 8 hours,
I woke up and checked, now its 66% ???? . really around 18% drain during a 8 hour screen off window
This is so lame, i checked the battery usage, nothing seems out of the ordinary, yes WIFI was On the whole time, is that the reason..
Does the notifications cause battery drain?, i had received some mails and t-mobile my account crap had sent some notification and LED was glowing all along.
i moved from note 1 only because of the stupid drain during screen off, its annoying , i know we can switch off WIFI, data, restart the device and use some app to reduce the drain, but i thought the battery will be good out of the box with Note 3, this feels the same like my note, no difference, something is messed up.
Any help is appreciated sorry for my bad English.
that idle drain seems very excessive. I lose like maybe 1% overnight. have you managed your accounts and only sync the necessary things? that could be a big drain.
Yes thats very excessive , thats why i am losing it, i did check for syncing, apparently nothing was running overnight.
Could be because i have only one point in the network signal? , not sure, i did check on the Cell standby it said "Time withou signal 0%"
i never had 1% drain overnight , would be nice if i can find out a way to make it work for me as well.
Call me strange, but if i am going to be sleeping, I plug it in. When I wake up even with just a nap the phone is fully charged.
i do too.. but i want to check the battery drain during sleep, often when traveling, i wont even use the phone but it would have drained , that's why i am checking how bad the drain is and the ways to fix it.
not sure you need these setting enable or not, but try uncheck all in Location Services under Setting.
Maybe you should start with basics and see what have you changed, since this drain begin?
For example I was trouble shooting WiFi calling and followed one of suggestions to shut down WiFi power save in service menu. It didn't work (updating router FW did the trick) and I forgot about it, but then I realized my phone was discharging 20% overnight (yeah, I charge when come home from work, by the time I go sleep phone is fully charged) and this was way too much. To make long story short, once I put WiFi save mode back on, I get 3% discharge overnight as it should be. The problem with such high discharge rate was that the phone barely lasted a day of light use and if I forgot to charge it night before it would be dead before morning. It also kills battery to have it fully charged daily, battery will lasts much longer if the charge is light (80% to 100% for example.)
Yup, i think it was this Wifi power save option in the service menu, i had switched this off and forgotten about it. thanks for reminding me .
i will check tonight as well.
Bad thing about this setting is, its very hard to pinpoint if you had forgotten about changing this setting, it wont show up in any of the battery usage app.
Go into wifi, hit menu and go into advanced settings. Uncheck wifi always scanning.

Those 2 games kill battery like a mutha, even if you kill the screen. I always use androids built in task killer by holding home button for a few seconds and killing battery hogging apps like those. If i do decide to end up installing those again and playing them i can expect shorter battery life for sure. Ever since i stopped gaming on my phone less and just game on my 360,ps3 and now wii u(kids got 1 for xmas,mario 3d world is addicting lol) ive seen huge boost in battery life and light to normal battery consumption on common sense settings for our phones.

Yeah idk I barely use my phone and still only get about 12 hours out of my phone. I think 4.3 just doesn't like our battery hopefully 4.4 is better.

First day? You might try a couple of charges before hiding it. It's not terrible. About 4 hours of screen on in 21 hours is not that bad for first charge.
I notice from the screenshot that your 4G reception is pretty poor (only 1 bar). The radio is by far, the biggest drainer of battery life. So that being considered, your battery life isn't bad.

It's going to be more efficient on Wifi. Low signal won't do much, but when it has to constantly search it drains fast.
Here's mine, had it since April 1st and the battery has been consistent.
Doesn't my held awake time seem high? It's higher then my screen on time all I did on the phone today was text, go on Facebook on and off and browse the Web a bit

I have the same problem with my New M8 which I just bought 2 weeks ago.
My situation is the fully charged battery will drain out 20% of power after 6hours sleep. I am pretty sure I turned off all apps before going to bed.

Battery savings can be had by making sure the display brightness is set to auto. Tbh your battery drain looks normal. There's loads of stuff going on the background when WiFi is on. You can cut some of it down by turning WiFi off when you don't need it and going to your account settings and unchecking some of the sync items you don't need.
I find the battery life suprisingly good considering how long I have the screen on sometimes. I've had full days out of it with constant use . Normal use I'll get 2 days easy.
Also I find this the best battery monitor app. The easy to read timeline graph shows exactly when and where the drain is. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...edium=organic&utm_term=battery+monitor+widget

Damaged battery?

Hi guys, I'm a happy Nexus 5X owner, except for one thing: battery autonomy.
I had a true hope that Nougat would change my perception, but I got no improvement at all. After that I tried ElementalX kernel running every profile, including the newest GlassFish 1.2 and HawkTail 1.2. I also use Greenify and don't have facebook app installed.
I unplug my phone everyday at 7:30 AM and it can't get past 2:00 PM. My use is *only* web browsing (chrome) and whatsapp. Nothing like youtube, netflix, gaming or listening to music. I get only 2h30 SOT.
I've been using this charger for about 4 months: http://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_350509.html
My question is: could my battery have been damaged?
Thanks!
Probably just the usual combination of Usage, Settings and Signal. We could only guess without some screenshots though, there's a battery life thread in General where you can post them and get advice.
The one thing I can suggest to evryeveryoneone is to use Developer Options > Running services and see which of your 3rd party apps are running 24/7 in the background. These are using your phones resources even if you never launch the app.
Nothing special is needed to get good battery life on this device, I typically see 5-6 hours SoT over 24-48 hours with stock 7.0. No root or loss of features.

I'm afraid of overheating because I sleep with the phone charging beside my bed.
Honestly, whats your brightness? Do you use bluetooth? Is NFC turned on? Location? Are you running 2G/3G or LTE? WIFI? Do you have wakelocks? I can make my nexus have 3 hours SoT ober a day also. But I can also make it have 5. Its all usage dude, unless you see a lot of heat, or drops of 5% over 5 mins, id say you battery is fine. Maybe its just the charger that doesnt fill it right? Why do you use that charger?

Thats actually normal considering you have auto brightness and half the time on 3g. However, your whatsapp usage is huge. Try running withouth it for a day. And do you really need location? How is your signal strength?

Auto brightness consumes that much power? What's your recommendation?

Hell yea. If you have it on 50% and use your phone anywhere outside or somwhere where the phone determines that you cant see it clearly, it will crank up the brightness, and that consumes a lot of battery. Try running it on 10-15% manual mode inside, and 20-25% outside or more if you really cant see, but keep the brightness mostly to 25%. The screen consumes a lot and plus 3g, no wonder you have such bad battery life :/ On 10% brightness, you can pull off 4 hours for sure. At least I can

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 3T's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think MM is good in general, but so far so good. I only lose 1 to 3% overnight.
I have plenty of battery drain overnight, mostly the Android system, Android OS and Google services.
I've had the phone for 2 days now and overnight battery drain is around 5%, but the real problem is that Android System takes up around 30% of my battery.
in 8h night (standby) i get 1-2% drain.
wifi, sync enabled.
if you get major drain, then its something on your setup causing it.
its always like that. (except something is broken on hardware side)
OxygenOS 3.5.1. - 1-2% battery drain;
OxygenOS 3.5.3. - 0% battery drain (in one scenario phone was left to [email protected]% (took off the charger and it drained 0% in 4 hour sleep period and in the other scenario the phone was left @53% to sleep and it drained 0% in 8 hour sleep period)

My experience is that the phone is better than average for sleep drain, just ~1-2 % with stock kernel. With Tyranus kernel v12 by @mdalexca, I'm not seeing any drain overnight at all. Battery life on medium usage looks to be a few days at least. (Yeah, I'm a light user aside from my first week with a new phone where I nearly wear it out ;)
Using Nova Launcher ...experiencing battery drain 3~4% overnight (5-7 hours) with WiFi off. But during the day, WiFi on, not even touching phone and it goes down 10% in an hour and a half. Battery reports Android System as the culprit. Any suggestions guys?

Turn off Android System.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I got pretty good standby last night. Some nights don't give me near as good standby, so it's quite inconsistent.

Hows your deep sleep, working ok? Even if it shows Android system, it could be some app which isnt working correctly.
I got someone here with one plus 3 non t version (I got t, same problem like you) and is just flashed Chinese version of one plus 3 on his phone and zero drain but bare in mind the Chinese version doesn't got Google services at all , no play store and stuff , is saying is got more juice now , but I am just thinking you will need to install Google services for YouTube and stuff . Hmmm just saying Google battery hog .
For now I am waiting for developers to receive their phone . I just can't wait for many custom ROMs
using stock Oxygen with BT/Wifi on, 2 push accounts with 4-5% drain overnight

How do I check the deep sleep? I just went back to the shop and idk what they did but they said they ran a software check(?) And asked me to try the phone again for a day. Surprisingly overnight with wifi off only went down 1℅ (but this was on oneplus launcher) but then during the day it drained as fast as previous. But now the batt reports show first Android OS, Cell standby and then Android system....

I'm not sure is it possible to check it without the root, but if you are rooted, then BetterBatteryStats is quite handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en

Yeah that apps requires root...thanks anyway
I have the MBA bug. I see a lot of people avoid it by staying on WiFi but I can't. Result is rapid battery drain.
I'm still getting reasonable battery though if I remember to toggle airplane mode. Device sleeps well enough. Almost perfect awake to screen on ratio.

I have plenty of battery drain overnight, mostly the Android system, Android OS and Google services.

Looks like OnePlus isn't bothered to fix this bug.

why don't you disable wifi/bt scanning and disable facebook/messenger notificationn?
oneplus is actually well optimized and drain is about 4% overnight

Wifi scanning and bluetooth is already disabled, and facebook isn't installed. This same issue exists in Oneplus 3 and Oneplus is not bothered to fix it.
