All 4 devices have varying uses and utilization, but 3 of the 4 are connected to wifi almost 100% of the time when used.

#What is draining my samsung s7 battery code#

Although the issue remains regardless of device physicality, my zip code is 14618 for the sake of discussion/troubleshooting. Please Verizon, let me know what can be done to resolve this issue. I have so much more to type, but no time right now. Before this issue, I could go all day and still have 40%+ left on my battery, now I end up with less than 15% in 8 hours with almost no usage. Total usage per the battery monitor is 14% between the various systems which means the phone cannot account for 7% of usage. None show abnormal battery utilization, or rogue apps (remember, all 4 of these devices have different apps running including my test S7E that has every app possible disabled, including system apps).Īlso, the battery utilization never matches the usage, for instance, my phone was just fully charged, screen on time (SOT) is 13 minutes and I have 79% left on my battery.

I have tried factory data resets, debloating the preinstalled software, and used the battery saver settings (lowered resolution down to HD, 'Optimized' phone in device manager, changed 'Performance Mode').Īll 4 of these devices are in perfect working order with healthy batteries, never rooted or modded, never opened or tampered with, and have the latest and official Verizon (forced I might add) software update Build # R16NW.G935VVRS8CRK2 (for the Edge phones). Let me start by stating that this trouble did not exist on the first iteration of Verizon's Oreo (Android 8.0) update, but has been broken, fixed, and then broken again during subsequent updates.

Maybe it wasn't the update, maybe it needed a fresh start after the update, but the factory reset fixed it.Ĭan anyone telle what 10368 app is? I was looking under the battery options and see it there right under Android system using the most battery.I have 3 Verizon Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935V, my wife and I each daily use ours and I have a 3rd device for testing purposes) and 1 Verizon S7 (SM-G930V, my mom's) that are all suffering from severe battery drain and performance issues. Can't say how relieved I am given the price of these things.

(facebook, snapchat, gmail, map my run, fitbit, google calendar, messenger, etc.)Īfter I reset the phone and reinstalled everything, without doing any tweaks my battery life went through the roof.

I then tried all the tweaks, shutting off blue tooth, shutting off background data on my apps, setting the screen on manual to 30%, clearing the cache, deleting unused apps, setting the screen timeout to 30 sec, shutting off gps, rebooted, powered down, etc. I had tried all the other suggestions prior to the factory reset.īasically, I got the phone, did the update, put all my apps on it and it drained the battery in no time. I reinstalled all my apps after the factory reset and then the battery lasted many, many hours longer than before and the phone never got hot. You are right that it didn't ask to update the software again. Maybe I put the cart before the horse and it isn't the software, but factory resetting the phone fixed whatever was wrong. I will not be updating my system software until there is an acknowledged fix for this (or I have no choice) My estimated battery life is 35 more hours on top of the 19 hours it's been running off the same charge. Since I factory reset it, my S7 has been running for almost 19 hours with moderate usage and my battery is at 70%.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since I went back to the out of the box software, my phone has been running with all options turned on and nothing optimized. I RELUCTANTLY took advice from a someone (wish I could thank them) somewhere on the 100 threads I read and factory reset the phone which I did NOT want to do. If you are trying to tweak your S7 to be the most battery efficient ever, then those things will work. I had updated the software the day I got it and my S7 was always hot and would not last for 6 hours even when I did nothing with it.Įveryone is talking about managing apps, and wifi connections, and clearing the ram and rebooting and on and on and on.

Especially after reading all the rave reviews about the battery life. I have been trolling the web for DAYS to find out what was wrong with my S7 that I got 5 days ago. THE PROBLEM IS THE RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE!!!!!

There is a huge battery drain problem on Galaxy S7's.
