RE: Samsung S7 $179.50 shipped! - Steemhunt - 143
Yeah if I'm out and about and need to conserve I have turned off wifi and data before. That does help a good amount I think. Normally I need the data connection though.
Yeah, in de car I'm using Waze, or a stream some youtube videos all the time. But I'm using 4G for that.
Do you have it plugged into the car charger when you do that? That would drain my battery pretty quick unless you are doing short 10 minute rides. I generally prefer the car stereo because I like local radio dj's even though they can be super annoying especially in the morning. I do not like talk radio in the morning. lol
Sometimes. But I can do that for hours without plugging it in. Also when I use wifi at home and watch youtube, it's goes for many hours. I never have to charge it during the day.
Sounds like yours might perform better than mine for some reason. I might have more apps draining the battery or something or maybe my battery is not as good but I normally can make it through the whole day. Do you have location turned on?
Yeah maybe. You can check on your phone what has been consuming your battery. Also, I know that the US version uses another CPU/GPU than the European version.
Interesting. It sounds like the international version might be better. If the USA version is overclocked then that would probably drain the battery more.
The USA version does run down the battery faster! :(

Congrats on having the better S7. lol
Does yours always stay cool? Mine got a tiny bit warm today when I was playing the WSP game.
I wish I would have known about this when I bout my S7. Maybe I could have gotten the better international version.
Under heavy usage I can feel that the temp is a bit higher. But it's not really warm.
How much longer are you going to keep your phone? ;) lol I'm glad my phone is still pretty good but I think I did get gyped a little bit.
