For all you Samsung Galaxy Tab A owners.I got a surprise last night with getting the 7.1.1 update. Was not expecting that since I had gotten a new operating system shortly after the original purchase. So be on the look out if you have the Tab A.
Update
I have 7.0 and just looked and I do not have an offer to update. Maybe later.

Tab E also updated.
I never get lost, but I do explore new territory every now and then.

No update for me.

Battery life
Have seen a big advantage from 6.1.1 to 7.1.1 in battery life.

Not yet for me. Would love me some Nougat, though!

Me too.

My Tab E updated on 10-10, and I seen one of the updates had to do with the battery. I really did not see any big improvement until I ran the battery down low (maybe 10%) and then recharged to about 95%. Now I'm seeing at least double the battery time with about the same daily usage.
One other thing I noticed is that unless I use the "original" AC charger and cable that came with the device I get a warning message about slow charging. I do not see that warning if I plug into the car charger. I know the original charger is a higher output rating than the one I use somewhere else, but it still takes hours longer to charge on the non-original so I try not to have to use it.
I never get lost, but I do explore new territory every now and then.

That is interesting. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E. I checked and it has 6.0.1. and states it is up to date! It is time to find out how to update this.
Updates depend on your

After the update I went to the battery settings now called Device Maintenance and found my power saving mode was off. Found 2 settings, the mid customized and the max. Selected the mid.The max will put if up to 13 hrs. Have not tried that setting yet.

A little different on the Tab E.
Mid is 41 hr 2 min
Max is 126 hr 21 min
Have not tried either setting. Still set to off. But I'm getting such a marked increase now, I may just leave it for later.
But I did use the App Power Monitor to optimize the "sleeping apps" which I think is making a big difference in battery life.

I see it now. Was looking for a separate app.
