Hello, I would like to buy the samsung galaxy a5 2017 because I read online that the battery life is quite high, only that all the reviews I read refer to the smartphone with android marshmallow so i would like to know if the autonomy of the battery is always the same with the update to nougat , thanks.

That is an average since 1st November using GSM battery monitor. Usage varies, but I use the device as usual (SMS, email, browsing, etc) and also some heavy gaming and YouTube viewing. Today, I've done those things plus approximately 6 hours using GPS with High Accuracy.
Please note: I am NOT an advocate of SOT and regard it as a fairly contentious measure of a device's battery consumption. Each device's SOT varies significantly between users and usage. The above SOT that I have shared with you is simply a guide.
Personally, I have noticed with each device I have owned that battery consumption improves with each Android release. My last three devices have been testament to that (Sony Xperia SP - KK, L, M; Moto X Play - L, M, N; Galaxy A5 2017 - M, N).
I hope the above helps.

ok thank you so much for your help and explanation, however on average it is a smartphone that has a little more autonomy than its direct competitors also with nougat
Inviato dal mio LG-H815 utilizzando Tapatalk
I have 30% left on battry on my A7 and it'h 6h screen on time its exelent
Remarq im on android nougat
my SOT after the nougat update is worse than on MM. Now I have around 3h SOT from around 5h SOT before the update
My battery averages 6-8 hrs SOT since I've bought my a5 2017.

I have decided to buy a new Desire phone.I read on many forums that battery backup on Desire is very very bad.I need this phone for gaming atleast 1 hour a day.Whether there are any tricks to increase the battery or the battery backup has no problem?
Desire's battery consumption isn't so good, but to play 1 hour a day, is ok even with stock roms.

What is the standby time if i give a full charge?
If you're not using it could be around 5 days.
With moderate use 2 days.
Heavy usage 24h.
Sent with smoke signals.
I think with heavy usage phone working 24 hours is not too bad.Tell me what will be the battery life with the following usage:
1.5 hours gaming,1 hour browsing,1 hour music,45 minutes running apps and always running a live wallpaper.
Probably around 24-36 hours.
Is a bit impossibile to know how your battery will "live" with this usage, because not all apps have the same battery drain... so, we can only imagine...
Live wallpapers use a lot of battery, wi-fi drain is more than 2g/3g network drain... i think that using MIUI or AOSP rom, with this usage, you can stay 24h without recharge... with stock roms 12-16 hours maximum...
Sorry if my english isn't perfect

Agree, around 36 hours.
And also,Can it run latest games without any lag?I need a phone with this budget.I selected Motorola Defy and this one.Which is better?
both are good devices...

But select anyone from those two.
From these two Desire, but in this price range there is also Samsung Galaxy S which is slightly better from hardware point of view but i would get Desire anyways.
Galaxy S's price is higher in our country.120$ more than these phones.I need a good phone in 340$-360$ price range.And what about HTC Google Nexus One and Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro?
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
7 hours with 15% left
6 hours with 12% left. 4G connection all the time
S7 Edge

not sure how to check.. but i'm on Tmobile preorder unit.
screen was 3rd down the list after Android System and OS
90% on wifi. No game play, and watched a movie on netflix on wifi.
the battery page has got to be a reporting bug as I can't see how Android system can take up that much battery.

T-mobile is always Snapdragon version.
You can use this app to get system info: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64&hl=en
Got it today. Set all my settings, downloaded GB of stuff, few restarts, half an hour Asphalt 8, 4G/ WLAN, automatic brightness, no batterysaver active
I think this is really nice
Antutu i've testet was at 129k points
Nice to, but would be better soon

Is this stock, right out of the box? Or have you debloated the ROM using package disabler or whatever it's called?

I've ran package disabler pro and disabled ALL but two or three bloatware apps.
My new S7 had a reasonable day I guess. Not too impressive but ok.
5Hr SOT fully drained.
A bit of GearVR and a bit of nav via google maps and the rest browsing.
I thought it might be better but im glad its not worse.
Happy enough.
4+ sot with auto brightness. About 1.5 hrs of deezer and 1hr of hearthstone.
Rest is twitch and a bit of browsing.
Also 1hr+ calls
I heard that Exynos has better scores on running browsers.
So the Snapdragon may not last as long as Exynos when browsing? Did I interpret it.correctly?
I use my phone very heavy on web browsing and I am on Verizon network using S6 currently. The rooted S5 runs smoother than unrooted S6 and lasts longer.

Maybe but dipends on the usage.
As the Note 4 with the Exynos a lot of people got very good battery life, even little bit more than snapdragon
Please tell me which rom is overall gud for oneplus 3. Checking all the rom ia not possible for me it takes lot of time and i m really disappointed form oxygen os 4.0.3 it drain lots of battery please suggest me a rom with good battery life and performance i dont care much about customization
Iam afraid there is really nothing that can help you (or others like me..). I have tried allot of ROMS and they all result in somewhat the same result.
1 charge 1 day (or almost 1 day) Does not matter if i use custom kernel battery improvement tools or "special" tips and tricks at the end of the afternoon iam still running low. I know i use my phone ALLOT and i use allot of connectivity (WIFI, 3/4G, BT) that is properly the issue, but still its sad that the only thing that might help is buying the oneplus3T.

If you want to stick to MM then go for Sultan's CM & if you want to upgrade to N then go for Resurrection Remix. Both ROM's stock kernels have new good battery life but in the camera part they are out numbered. Sultanxda has done best job by optimising the inbuilt camera app at par with stock OOS & also he gives security patch updates too as soon as they are released.
Resurrection Remix on other hand works great with Android N but has buggy camera due to buggy camera on LOS & we know that till now OnePlus has not released blobs so can't do anything.
All this is my personal preference. You can try out both our any other ROM's from development section like Cypheros or AOSP extended which are AOSP & LOS based or for for Freedom OS or Experience ROM which are OOS based.
I have around 7h SOT with latest freedomOS and bluspark kernel. In my eyes thats pretty good and carries me easily through the day. And light use even 2 days.
If you have any heavy battery drain you should search for the reason. Check wakelocks and logcat too find out whats wrong.

Try VertexOS.. You wont feel a stutter and I'm not joking.. Als it scales way more efficient because of EAS. It delivers a near stock experience

Well it has EAS.. Which means that the CPU can be really tamed.. Battery depends on standby but in my usage pattern I can easily get 4 hours SOT. I get an average drain of 13% per hour.

Witch ROMS is better for battery life? Stock Nougat or custom Oreo?
any one ?

LineageOs 14.1 official is best rom for battery life. Better than stock and almost 1 hour more SOT then custom oreo.
Oreo all the way definitely bootleggers 14 hours sot
I am on cardinal asop+magisk+magma kernel..deep sleep is working..but facing huge battery drain issue in idle condition...1% battery drain for about 1 hr approx. Is it normal ? Is there any solution guys ?
*Which
I'm on ViperOS Nougat, Magma kernel V6, Greenify,Amplify. I have a lot of apps, so a lot of battery drain in idle. 0,5-0.9% per Hour. Light Usage: 6Hours SOT- 2-3Days Usage;
Heavy Usage 10-14-Hours of SOT
It really depends of how you use your phone, bluetooth,wifi,mobile data, gps, etc. And on how many apps you have so.
I can fairly say that people with a lot of apps, even get 13 Hours of SOT. Depending on your apps that will vary, being higher or lower than that.
Stock Rom battery Life was better though for me, but the cons where delayed messages and a lot of bugs.
So using a Custom Rom really is better. And personally Nougat is my favorite.
Am I the only one who feel that scurity patches after August patch compromised performane and battery life?
And if so, is it normal to get back to august patch with locked bootloader and no root?
I used before to have more than 10 hrs SOT and now it's just 8 hours
November Firmware.
Yes i can confirm that the November patch definitely compromised the battery life. Im getting like 1+ hour less SoT after the patch... SoT is different for everyone depending on what your usage is cannot compare SoTs between 2 people...
Personally I don't see any changes in terms of battery life. Three days usage and approximately 9-10h SoT is what I usually get since I bought the device in September.
better check the cpu usage time between each frequency
maybe they did something to the kernel

Perfectly fine on my side. I think only the Mi A2 nonlite has/had CPU frequency problems.

It's "calculated" by your usage since the last charge. This calculation is rather imprecise, just ignore it.
I think I have to do hard reset but will wait to know what is the difference in the 2nd November security patch that I delivered yesterday xD
