Ummm your complaining about a day worth of battery lol? I'm confused... Unless your on screen time is horrible, I'm very confused here about you complaining about 1 day of use.....

[Galaxy S 5 General] ratboy90:
Have 1:45 of screen time. Seeing as how so many people are getting 6+ I think it's quite bad.
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
OK yes that's bad. Woulda been nice if you said that in your post or provided a screen shot of the on screen time as well.

It appears that your standby time is really poor.

Have you tried disabling bluetooth, wifi and mobile data when not in use?

This was mine from yesterday.

I'm impressed by the 22 hours, not so much by the Android system. Unfortunately, this is all I could get from bbs without root.

That first wakelock is certainly an app doing something in the background

I use agenda widget and I had turned on the wake lock since the widget wasn't updating properly. I turned it off last night and it updated just fine today, so I'm curious to see if that was the cause.

If that's not the cause, how would I tell what app it is without root? I made sure Twitter and Facebook aren't syncing, that's always the first thing I check.

Have posted some new photos now. Take a look. I charged it yesterday evening and didn't use it the whole night. I think I have quite a lot of wakelocks popping up.

Have not done that. I have bluetooth running for my pebble and I never really thought of turning off wifi and mobile data. Is that what everybody else is doing?

EDIT: Ran wakelock detector for windows and posted a screenshot
[Galaxy S 5 General] ireknole:
I'm no expert, and actually need battery advice as well, but doesn't tuning off all connectivity defeat the purpose of having a smart phone? I keep my bluetooth, wifi and mobile data on at all times. I'm sure if you turned off wifi and mobile data you would get more battery life, but that just seems silly to me.

The real question is how much battery does bluetooth and wifi use when toggled on, but not in use.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Stiflerlv:
Ok, I just got most AWSOME battery life ever!

Screen brightness on auto and -5 modifider.

Using Wifi whenever at home/work and GPS is on all the time.

Used Mobile network while driving (around 1.5h total with waze).

Some gaming.

I was in pretty "dark places" all time, so screen was on low brightness.

NFC, most of gestures (except take screenshot) are off.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
For my xperia z at least, turning off mobile data reduces the android is battery usage.

Just need adb drivers installed and enable usb debugging. Then plug in your phone and run the program
[Galaxy S 5 General] doronbh:
My feedback is kinda useless now since I have had the phone for only 3 days, so no full discharge cycles yet..

However - I had the LG G2 before and that was the best phone I hade in terms of batt life.

This is nowhere near....

Turning off any of the connectivity radios is not an option since it makes zero sense on a smartphone. .

Has anyone identified a specific app that drains the battery in particular?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] pezlomd:
That is incredible.. Are you on full stock?

All stock with auto brightness here,

After first full discharge and full recharge

Screentime - 5h 7m with 1% left

After 2md full discharge and full recharge

Screentime - 6h 3mins with 7% left

Would be awesome to get to around 7 hours of screen-ontime and almost 2 day low usage.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wtzky:
I'm getting significant battery life increase after turning wifi from always on to just when charging when screen is off and by using setcpu to underclock while screen is off. Now getting only 1% battery decrease every 2 hours with screen off. Screen on I get 5.5 hours but I don't turn brightness down or underclock etc which is just fine with me :)

Played a round of golf using golfshot gps and only lost 6% battery. On my iPhone 4s I would lose 65% lol

It think it takes about an hour to fully charge with the USB 3.0. It's crazy fast.

Speaking of that, does it hurt the phone/battery to keep the phone plugged in after it's done charging? I always worry about that, but I charge my phone overnight and I'm not going to wake up to unplug it.

Try scrolling through your applications and just disable the touchwiz bloat you never use.

I know this isn't a solution, it is more of a workaround, but currently it is all we can do because Touchwiz is filled with bloat.

Guys, found apps which drain my battery, but how can I block some wakelocks? Greenifying the apps doesnt work that well, they're still waking up my phone during the deep sleep. Find out that the most battery-drain apps for me are "Samsung Push Service", "Google+", "Facebook", "Foursquare" and "WhatsApp". Almost all of them, except the WhatsApp are greenifyed, but still they work background. I'm on the latest Omega rom. When I just flashed, I had an amazing battery life, but since a few days it started all over again, like it was with the stock rom.

[Galaxy S 5 General] nudawa:
I dont know if my battery is good or not. But here it is.

I set brightness to default auto. most of the time I uses the fone in well-lit area like beside the windows.

No power saving settings. Wifi and 3G was on all of the time. Location is off.

Mostly I do is toying around the device, browsing web, facebook, 9gag and very light gaming.

I unpluged the fone at 6am and now it is 6pm. This is the second day I got this fone so I guess it will take a few more charges to judge.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
in the settings menu there should be one where you can see system applications and user applications.

scroll through the system app list and disable the troublesome apps
[Galaxy S 5 General] mrtiko:

battery stats

This is my battery life after removing the at&t crap.

No power saving, wifi off(always on LTE), NFC off. Smart stay is on, GPS on, Toolbox and multi window on. Brightness set to auto.

Watched two hours of Netflix, watched a movie from the browser (LTE). Played a game every so often. Sent about 15 emails, 30 texts. Browsed the Web for a while. Updated a few apps. Downloaded a few files from FTP. This is a little over a week of owning the phone. Returned my first S5 because of battery issues. I've learned I get better life if I charge using the USB to the computer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nudawa:
That is a very good battery life. Although charging thru usb ports can take decades.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nash718:
battery

Yes, it does take a long time. I switch around between the wall charger and USB. If you're going to sleep the USB charger is the better choice over night. It chargers the phone slow and won't have the phone fully charged after an hour. Once the phone is fully charged it just continues to top the battery off. All night. which Is very bad for the battery. Also, with fast charging comes heat which is also not good. This will cause the battery performance to decrease.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nudawa:
I asked Samsung (And Apple for my iPad mini 2) about this myself and they said that the chip which controlling the charging process is integrated into the battery itself, no matter what you use to charge your phone the battery will automatically refuses 90% of the current goes into the battery and only leave enough current to trickle charge which will do no harm to the battery at all.

Althought, using the USB port to charge your phone will significally reduce the heat during the charging process which is a good thing for the battery and helps prolong the battery life.

Plus, avoid using your phone when charging cause it will produce a lot of heat to stress the battery out.

Finally, completely deplete your battery (<5% left) before charging will reduce the battery life a lot since ion-lithium battery is completely different from old Mr.Nickel that we used to have to use them up before charging.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ireknole:
OK this is the worst battery life I've gotten on this phone:

Anyone know what that "event" wakelock is? That's a new one that I have seen before.

No but it depends on what caused the wakelocks and not always that is a reason for battery drain. Was that all on WiFi? Cause I get the same screentime with my S4.

I consider myself a pretty heavy user.

I had my brightness at about 45-50

I used the following apps all day

Facebook, youtube, instagram, chrome, made about 30 mins of phone calls and took a couple pics.

I also installed about 10 apps and played around with launcher fof about 1hr lol.

Don't do that too often, mostly just the weekends, during weekdays and working it's nearly impossible to be 4+ hours on phone, but on Weekends is another story. I do everything from Reading my tons of emails, browsing all my Websites, Forums and other, plus read my Google Magazines, Flipboard, see Youtube Videos, Stream with my Chromecast using Youtube, Netflix, Vevo and others and the rest of time if any ti still set my phone here and there still trying to leave it exactly as I want, still doing that after 1 month with it, but must be honest, with the latest addition of C Locker I think I'm almost done.

Completely Stock not even Root. I posted here and in other forums some Tips and Tricks on how to achieve what I'm getting, and seeing the few responses I got, it seems that people didn't even pay attention to it, so I can't do anything more about it.

Heavy usage. Here's the stats:

- Stock ROM

- Rooted

- No special applications that take advantage of root priviledge (i.e. Greenify)

- 57% of the battery life was run at 100% maximum brightness

- About 50% maximum brightness ran for 15% of the battery

- 10% ish was run on auto-brightness

- The last 10% of the phone's battery was put into gray scale from power saving mode to really maximize the remaining juice of the battery

As far as usage:

- Majority of the time was spent browsing the web on websites with predominately white backgrounds

- Was utilizing websites and applications that actively required a GPS feature to be enabled

- Did some light gaming, (maybe like 30 minutes or so)

- Did almost 20 minutes of YouTube with the screen brightness dimmed

- Was using the phone as an MP3 player for a good portion of the duration

- Had been in an active phone call for about 28 minutes

- Took a few pictures with the camera outdoors

All in all, I'm satisfied with the endurance rate of the phone. I probably could have been more conservative with my usage of the phone to extend battery life; but I like to amp up the brightness to the maximum extent the majority, or all of the time; to really enjoy the beauty that is the display.
