If Android System wasn't such a Abuses will lead to ban, we would easily get better battery life.
I've tried everything possible, Greenify, power saving, uninstall some apps, location off, but Android System will always drain your battery.

Exactly, i was using iPhone 6, before buying S7, and it had no such problems, i was expecting s7 to atleast hit 5 hours on screen on time. You tell.me.is it Ok? Or should i expect more screen.time? [MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION]

To be honest, for a flat S7, yours isn't that bad, it could certainly be higher, but that would require Android System to stop draining unnecessary power.

5 hours is possible depending on your usage.

I have a verizon GS7 flat, running latest official and unrooted nougat firmware. Is this normal? (On 30~40% brightness, data off, wifi on)

1) Signal strength
2) Location can't be turned off on the US variants
3) Try flashing the G930U Nougat ROM and see how it is then.
4) I guess it can be considered a bit below average but that's obviously because the battery obviously isn't holding a 3000 mAh charge anymore.

What do you mean by battery not holding the charge anymore? 🤔

Over time, batteries do deteriorate, a brand new S7 would hold 3000 mAh, but a one that's been used will be around 2700-2800 and possibly lower if you use fast charging very often.

My OnePlus 3 that's fairly old only holds a 2540 mAh charge rather than the full 3000 it held when it was new.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
