How is the batter life for you guys? . I seem to be losing 60% in 6 hours with 30 mins Google navigation and some texting and browsing.

This is what I've been getting for battery life on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I've cut the bloat apps I don't want, almost all of my data connection was on wifi, web browsing, sending and checking emails, no gaming, had to turn it off twice (applying and reapplying a screen protector), used Bluetooth once for about an hour listening to music in the car, made a few calls and received a few calls. I turned battery saver on right around 85% battery life from 100%. The battery saver was custom and I left the screen resolution at 2k just only enabled limit performance and max brightness to 90%. Just over 9 hrs screen on time works for me.
Yeah mine hasn't been great. Think I'm gonna run it until Wednesday and if it's still not good I'm returning it and going back to my s7e in the meantime.
Mine has been doing very well, better than my note 4 did by a good percentage. The other day I tried to use Google maps for navigation but I was apparently in a dead area. Later that night I was checking battery stats and I saw that maps used 11% for a matter of minutes while the next non-system app was like 3%. There might be something wrong with the app on note 7 then maybe.
Mine has been really good. Usually when I leave work I'm at around 40% (on my S6 edge). Today I'm at 79% (on the Note 7).
So far, my best has been down to 14% in almost 16 hours, with about 5 hours of SoT.

Seriously, if you are getting 9 hours of screen on time, you have to have disabled so much of the functionality of the phone that I don't know why you would buy a Note. With every reviewer and average person getting 4.5-5.5 hours SOT, it just seems ridiculous..
I think it's satisfactory.
I find myself actually using it a lot more than the S7E AND the battery is better to boot.
Personally, if I couldn't use the Note 7 any more, I'd go back to using my iphone 6S+ before I'd use the S7E...
Or the Note 5 / 6S+.
From ergonomics, the S7E is just awful. It reminds me of using a Windows 8 PC for the first time! Mainly because of the horrible, horrible touch sensitivity of the screen and edge.
Perhaps the battery life is better because I've never charged wirelessly? I've heard that if you charge with the cord your battery life, particularly idle, is far better. I don't mind plugging in. USB-C connector is long overdue. No more fumbling in the dark trying to plug it in, scratching the bottom around the connector in the process!
The built in battery monitor is bad. I ran antutu benchmark once and it tonight it took up the equivalent of my whole battery. 5 minutes of app time and only 3% in real life. I have done a couple of full battery cycles to just make sure the software learns the top and bottom ends of my battery. Slowly figuring out what is killing battery and what not. If I have extra drain it's because something is glitching. I have been unplugged since 1 am last night. Still at 10% with almost 5 hours of screen on time.

I don't feel I disabled much of the phone, all I did was disable approximately 12 apps that I don't and or won't use, and at around 85% battery left, I turned on a custom mid power saving feature and used the phone a good amount over a 34+ hour span. This whole setup took me less than 15 minutes, so I'm not sure why you seem to have an issue with my choice in phone. It's not like I went in, rooted the thing and froze an incredible amount of apps, slapped in a custom kernel and messed with voltage and loaded some slim lightweight custom ROM. I simply used power saver and disabled some apps. This took no effort at all, simply sharing what I'd been getting, as others didn't seem to get as much out of their battery.
I got a note because I can pull serious hours SOT, multi task like a boss and enjoy multimedia on this gorgeous screen. I've had Notes since the Note 2.

I agree with the disappointing battery life. I had a galaxy 7 active and after a full day of work doing the same thing I had about 75% after my day ended ,with my note 7 I had about mid 60%. Keep in mind I dont use my phone except a little before work and on my breaks.i also turn my Data off when I'm not using my phone and yes all my bloatware is shut off. If we had root I'm sure I would be happy since I get a lot more out of my battery because of my root setup .

Im getting great battery life and i can usually find a place to plug in for a short time which refuels me quickly. I had to manually set a few apps to be quiet which is fine otherwise im happy so far.

What sort of battery life are you all seeing with this years note? come from the ipad 3 where i usually saw 10-11 hours screen time and 2-3d standby, today is the first time ive had it from 100% and i only lasted 6 hours screentime with 7 hours overall on time, i still havent run it down completely yet but surely i should be getting more than this?
Its such a shame because i love it so much, but i cant deal with this short battery life
It's much better than that. I found it better after a couple of charges. I rooted mine and deleted or froze b.oatware and I get 13 hours heavy use

I came from an ipad 3 as well and had the same problem until I disabled several apps, turned off GPS, etc and over the long weekend I was getting ~12 hours of web surfing.
I haven't rooted yet so that should be a number that can improve. I'm sorta trying to wait for a root that doesn't trip knox. I don't want a custom rom so no reason to install a bootloader and lose my warranty if I can be patient. Tried Cydia Impactor but I had already upgraded to MK1. I'm wondering if the shipping rom (P600XXUAMIE) might have the 4.3 vulnerabilities unpatched.

I thought it was more, but looking at the list.. go to settings, General, Application Manager, select the prinstalled apps you don't want running all the time and click Turn Off. I've turned off BlurbCheckout, Businessweek+, NYTimes, Polaris Office, Screen Saver and Twitter. I think more important was turning off GPS, Screen Rotation, Bluetooth, Reading Mode, Smart Stay, Smart Pause, Smart Scroll, Auto Brightness then adjusting the screen brightness to something a bit less retina searing than the default.

I've had mine since Saturday soooo, 5 days now. I get easily 10-11 hours of screen time. I loose about 1% per 8-9 hours in stand by and i loose about 9% per hour of video streaming from either my Netflix, HBO GO, or Slingbox account and that's with brightness about or just above 50%. I'm also NOT rooted yet. Totally stock with just certain apps turned off and i restrict a lot of the background data on individual apps that i don't need running background data
Have you guys try using this damn thing at 100% while indoors? It hurts the eyes with a white screen.

Hmm, I think I misspoke about the background data on this tablet. I do that religious with my phones (Bionic, GS4) but I went to look at what i did and there is no option to turn off background data. I would normally go to settings>data usage and tap whatever app and the check "restrict background data". I must have thought I did that on this tablet but obviously not.
i think the battery life is great on my tablet - i dont game with it - today it has been running for 13 hours 48 minutes with 5 hours and 48 minutes of screen on time and battery is at 52% - not rooted yet - i have everything i dont use turned off ( ie. smart stay/scroll, air view ) and running nova laucher prime and dont use power savings mode
Face it - it's nowhere near ipads. That's my biggest concern.
It lasts the day, charge it at night, what's the problem, as long as it lasts all day there's nothing to worry about

I dunno, doing pretty good over here. Rooted, but have no froze anything. Only rooted to get gameCIH installed screen is between 25% and 50% brightness depending on what im doing or where i am. I mostly just use it for playing a few games here and there, taking notes during lectures.. etc. This is about typical, sometimes I get a little less, screen brightness seems to play a huge role in battery drain (obviously) but ive never run it dead during the day.. ever. I start every day with 100% charge and dont usually plug it in till I go to bed. If I have a charger around and im not doing anything ill plug it in (I mean.. why not) but I don't ever have to "worry" about it going dead on me.
I'm currently on 9 hours of battery time, probably at least 4-5 hours of that is screen on time reading comics or doing sketchbook pro pictures.
Battery is on 46%.
So yeh, battery is fine. Brightness is about 30%.

Right... It's better then an IPad. I doubt the IPads beat 11-12 hours of screen time at roughly 50% brightness and an IPad has a smaller screen and less pixels to power.

Hi all, I just bought this tablet, I have not turn it on yet...
Do I have to charge the device fully before turning on like some cell phones are?! or I can just start using it right away?!
and what kind of battery it does?! how's the charging process?! should I wait for it to be fully discharged, and then charge it to 100 percent?! or should I keep it between 40 to 80 percent to save the battery life...

Dude, just turn it on and use it. The days of cycling a batter (let it drain and then charge to full) were over in the 90's with Ni-Cad batteries.. these do not develop a memory. From dead, the tab will take 5-6 hours to charge with supplied charger and in the wall. Using it while charging will still cause it to lose battery but a a much slower rate.
just fully charged it last night, play a bit, battery was at 90% when i went to bed, wifi was on, i even had the juice defender installed.
when i got up this morning (6 hr sleep), the battery has 50% left! when i check the battery usage, Cellular Network is the one used battery most, says 30%, then Phone idle came second with 25%. is that normal? ( I don't think so...) even the phone in idle mode it used that much battery? and even i don't have a SIM card in the phone, the Cellular Network still consuming battery?
Sounds like it was searching for the network all night. I would hope it'd be smart enough to just stop, but apparently not! I'm sure it'd sleep like a baby in airplane mode.

If the radio is on it'll consume power - and with no SIM card inserted, unless you enter airplane mode, it'll leave the radio on for emergency calls.
Might even consume MORE power in that configuration. I've noticed that Qualcomm devices often behave badly in terms of power consumption when they don't have a SIM.
Yep, way more. I work in AK and you often leave coverage, do so without going in to airplane and the battery will plummet as quickly as if you are on an active call because your phone is constantly searching for a network. Some phone will search for a while and then take a break and resume after a set interval. These are not as bad but you're still way ahead of the game going to airplane until you get in coverage.
Some people are not aware that you can go into airplane and then turn on WiFi after.
Anyone else have OppoKinectService.apk show up as a major contributor towards battery drain? When I look at my battery consumption history its always between 30%-40%. Does anyone know what that app does or controls?
Isn't that the service which controls the off screen gestures?

Not sure to be honest. I have all gestures turned off and yet I still have the drain. Only gesture I have enabled still is knock on/off. That can't account for that much drain. Unless they are still working out the kinks in color OS
You're either out our you're in because enabling one requires the phone to standby for a potential input every bit as much as enabling them all. You do benefit from killing the voice because the phone no longer has to keep a live mic going or use cycles trying to parse out whether you did or did not use the trigger phrase.

Yes, I posted on the Oppo Google+ community yesterday on this very thing. My battery life is atrocious! I even reloaded the phone after a few days (to rule out an app). I have tried everything under the sun to improve the battery performance, even turning the LTE off and going with Edge service - made very little difference. I love the hardware, but this is ridiculous. I understand each phone has its nuance, but there is a limit. Thankfully, Oppo included an extra battery. Perhaps with this freebie, they acknowledge battery drain? Thankful for the rapid charger too. I hope a firmware release is on the way that will address the battery drain issues.

At that point I still had the knock on/off gesture enabled. I just had other gestures off. After disabling the knock feature I noticed the OppoKinectService stopped appearing in my battery manager so I guess that solves that.

Strange you have the OppoKinectService listed in your battery stats, I have all the gestures on and never see that.
But I, and I think many others, aren't seeing anywhere near the screen battery time you're getting.

i normarlly have over 3hrs screen on time during my 1st week with 7a.
phone used time from 17~30 hrs depends on my usage. but generally i think the battery is very good.
and strangely enough, when i leave the phone idle (during my sleep) , it seems to drain faster than when i use the phone during the day? anyone else have the same experience?
Yes, the reports on poor standby are so ubiquitous that I'm pretty sure the rare few who are claiming otherwise don't know what they are talking about or are mistaken. It was mentioned in every single review that bothered to mention standby at all so you can figure you have a known issue(s) affecting all devices.
How is the battery? Should I buy this phone?
I usually get 17 to 18hrs, heavy usage but no game play
Battery life is very good with custom Rom, custom kernel, some disabled services...
I love battery life, I can easily get 2 days with a single charge, wifi or 3G all the time. No games though. What is more strange is that 3G doesnt drain my battery at all.

Most people get about 4-5 hours of SoT on a charge. I find I can only achieve this when I have the backlight set on a low setting. I usually have it somewhere between 0-30% and the phone can last me about 30 hours on a charge. I usually charge when I'm around 15-20% though so I could technically go to about 36 hours but I don't like waiting until I'm fully depleted to recharge. If you're a daily charger, the battery life on this phone will be completely fine for most days.
(The 4-5 hours of SoT is for when the battery gets completely depleted, not what I get around 20% battery left)
If you're planning to play games most of the time, than this is not the phone for you. Games just drain the battery, I don't think it will last for more than 2, maybe 3 hours while gaming. For everything else, battery is very good.

Battery gets winged about on this phone alot.
Myself i find it amazing - if im just using basic stuff on it every couple of hours i could easily get 3 days out of it, on standby it drains about 1% every 7 hours - that was after i used greenify.
Wifi and 3g just sitting on dont seem to affect it at all

With sync on, brightness on auto on around 50%, some gaming, mostly low usage you can get 24 hours of the thing.
The battery is not "excellent" but it's good enough.
The battery has always been really excellent for me. Most days, I can go without charge at least until 10:30 at night, and I am a very heavy user. I have gotten over 6.5 hrs on screen time on multiple occasions. That said, my brightness settings are usually quite low, 0-30% range, and the screen still consumes about 57% of my battery usage.
The best was 112 hours, but it was a week with a lot of stuff to do and little attention paid towards the phone...usually I get 3-4 days, so 70-90 hours with medium usage, wi-fi or data used during day and all communication turned of at night. I am very pleased of the battery life of G3
I'm mostly through the day in a 4g environment with 50-70% signal strength (unscientific on what the phone shows). guess that accounts to the battery life, most likely on 3g I would squeeze more out of it, but it's not all "dandy" and "overwhelming".

This was today, good, but low screen on time... I should reach the 24 h mark with that usage but if I would stress the thing more...
It depends on the service your getting. If I'm in a good service area it lasts forever. It's comparable to my m8 and m7 and Galaxy s3. Not much more or less.
If you do decide to buy this amazing piece of tech, download deep sleep battery saver. I noticed about a 20 percent increase in standby time.

How is the battery? Should I buy this phone?

I myself have the G2 and it's excellent from the specifications, everything amazing. It should even have better battery life than the G3 because of the resolution.
Anyhow I would say never LG again! The software is a mess. It's slow, laggy, bloated and has an awful design. Of course you can use Aosp roms but guess what? LG has closed sourced drivers so using an aosp rom will ruin your camera quality and battery life. It's really sad. Such an amazing phone, but ruined by the software

I ran the G3 port too, but the difference is marginal. And it's very slow, loading caller, contacts or settings shows that LG can make one of the fastest snapdragons as "fast" as the smartphones four years ago lol. I think in the end nexus devices are the best, as they have clean and updated firmware as well as tons of good and usable custom roms.

Hey everyone, I've noticed that the Asus Zenwatch has very quick battery drainage, for me at least. I don't have any apps installed on it, and the watch face I have isn't too intense. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody had some tips for me on how to conserve battery for the watch.
P.S. I have stay awake disabled, brightness all the way down, and some other common battery saving tips.
Give it a day or two. The first day the battery seems to drain quickly then you get decent battery life. I put my watch on at 7:30 am and now at 10 PM it is at 47% battery. I do nothing special in regards to battery saving besides setting the brightness to 1, as indoors all day i find that plenty bright.
I do regular stuff like check several messages and Google Now cards throughout the day., and control music for an hour or two.
I've had the watch for about a week now (got it as a gift for Christmas) and it still seems to drain quite quickly.
Know of any reason why this could be happening?
P.S. I have the watch on from about 6:30 A.M to about 3-4 P.M and it will have about 50-40% battery left.
It doesn't help you much, but I have found mine to have surprisingly good battery. I have had it about a week now and I generally take it offer the charger at 6:30am and put it back on the charger at 11:00pm with ~30% battery still left. I use it pretty often during the day and have the ambient mode on all day. The only real action I have taken with battery life in mind is that I do avoid the "bright" faces.
What doe the Android Wear app on your phone say is using the most battery on the watch? That is probably where I would start.

Has your watch updated to 5.0.1? Maybe that could be the problem. I don't have screen always on, mainly use it for notifications (I get maybe a couple of dozen per day), and mine uses less than 3% battery power per hour. I nearly always have at least 70% left at bedtime.
Yes, my watch is 5.0.1. I don't have the watch always on either, and I only use mine to check the time to be honest. Not really notifications too much.
Here is my Battery Status page. There isn't much that it can tell me, sadly.
Hmm. Which watchface? There clearly seems to be something wrong there.
I use a custom watch face created with Intellicom. The only moving thing on there is the digital numbers changing and battery percentage changing. It's also semi-dark.
I don't see anything online about Intellicom being particularly bad on battery. It definitely seems like you're losing battery about twice as fast as you should, though. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas at the moment. Here's my battery usage today so far:
Wow, that's crazy! Hopefully something will happen, or I find out if something is causing such a battery drain. Thanks for trying though!

Just curious, any progress or change on your problem?
It has gotten much better. It doesn't go down nearly as fast as it did. I don't know what it was, but yeah.
Hey, my watch has gotten worse with battery. Dramatically worse. I'm losing about 10 to 15 percent per hour even with notifications off. I do use always on but a few weeks ago was getting better life.
Would apps like instaweather drain even if they aren't the active watch face?

Well it depends, do you get notification and such on your watch throughout the day?
I get 3-6 notifications an hour I would guess.

I don't get notifications from the weather app, no.

Could you send a screenshot of your watch battery manager?
I think you're referring to this. I recharged to 100 about 6 hours ago and have barely used it since other than to check a few notifications. I run always on with a mostly black screen but have tried other screens to rule out that as the change. Brightness set at 3. But as I said, I was getting better life until a week or two ago.
Thx
I don't know if it's just me but has anyone elses note 10+ gone down by 50% in 2hrs. Ive noticed that it kinda looks like its draining battery fast and this was just after it has been setup

Drained a lot during setting up, but it's been fine since. If you keep having this problem, factory reset, and see if it still happens.

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home

Just to verify... you did a full reset, then tested without restoring any data or apps. In this case, I think you got a bad unit.

I guess I don't really sit for two hours on the home screen. In fact, in running Nova Launcher, so I never see the Samsung home screen. I'll load it up and see if I notice any problem.

I just did a quick test. Fully set up phone with my podcast player playing over Bluetooth, sitting on the Samsung home screen, I'm discharging roughly at 12% per hour.

Still, yours seems to be draining at twice the rate mine is, and I assume you aren't streaming over Bluetooth.

bluetooth is off and just sitting there on the home screen. ive also noticed that in games/other apps itll show i only have about 2hrs of gaming(from the game booster) despite being low performance intensive games and i understand partially as to why it would say that but seeing as how others can use their phone for a lot longer, sometimes up to a day but this does not seem good

I've been using this phone off and on for 14 hours today, with just a few minutes of charging here and there, and I'm at 33%. Excellent battery life. I don't game though, unless you count Words With Friends. [emoji1]

I've never experienced any better From a smart phone my fingers haven't left this phone alone ? first cycle was around 7 hours but I had 5g turned on so I turned that off as theres no 5g in my area and I get close to 9 hours sot

I've been about the same but it just feels like the phone isn't lasting as long as it should. I should still definitely go and see my local Samsung just in case. there's a likely chance they'll do what they did with my s8 and say there's nothing wrong with despite clear signs of needing a new battery.

not bad. wish i had the 5g model, wanted to get it but carrier didnt do it and i wasnt going to fork out 2k.
Battery life seems on par with my note 8. I don't have the 5g(no point as by time VZW gets to my area the note 12 will be out), I do have it set relatively bright, and at full Rez.. My Screen off time is extremely good compared to my note 8 went to bed with 95% and got up at 90%. My note 8 would often drop 30%

Yeah note 20 will be out by the time 5g hits my area
I received my note 10+ on 22nd August 2019 and i initially charged it full til 100% and started using it. However i noticed that the battery Is draining too fast. So far i have been using it for 4 days and i have the same issue. Even i did factory reset but still same issue.
So far I have recharged it for 4 to 5 cycles of full charge till 100%, and even my device is up to date with the latest software updates.
Kindly suggest and share your thoughts / comments.
Yup, I'm having quick battery drain myself as well. I hoping when getting this phone that battery life would not be a concern. Maybe Samsung can update it to help with the drain? Anyway.... it's a bit disappointing.

From what I've heard which may be wrong, I think upon opening you need to use it till death and then give a full charge. Positive it might be an actual problem now if more people are getting it.
