You should be able to see in battery stats what is using the most battery
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
It's always android system, android os, screen and kernel

Just remembered, these apps I have disabled are a big battery drain, disable them if you don't use them
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
I have disabled almost all of them and some more but It has no impact for me.

I am now flashing the Xstrolite debloated rom and let settle the battery for some days and than I hope that I have such a awesome SOT as you :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] MaLiXs:
That pretty much the best stat I ever got on my s5!!

After looking at the AVG report http://now.avg.com/avg-android-app-performance-report-q4-2014-presskit/ I decided to uninstall the Facebook app and turn off the auto security policy updates and now I seem to get much better battery life.

E.g. Before my battery would drain nearly 10% in about 7hrs. Now it drains only around 3-4% overnight.

Sot I get around 4-5 hrs for nearly a day's worth of usage, browsing, listening to podcasts, email, Instagram, google plus etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ortori:
What do you guys think about my battery stats? The phone is new i boght it one mounth ago.
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
PIXEL BATTERY SAVER is all you need ... as we know that AMOLED screens sucks so much battery out of the phone ... just download the pixel battery saver and you will have a better onscreen time on your phone ... and it extend my onscreen time by 1+ hours ... download and use it and then post a screenshot here of your onscreen time ...

Lux is also a great option

How do you manage to get this, I am using a Exynos version and the best i got so far is 10 hours of usage with 3 hour of screen on time and 45 minutes of voice calls.

Do you think i shall ask for a replacement this is a stock rom and not rooted yet
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
this is my best battery yet

It's just two days old phone, what to do to improve the battery life
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
i got 4 hours 15 minutes max ... and 3hours 30 minutes minimum ... charge your phone to full until it's not show you in notification that battery is 100% charged ... and then restart your phone and post battery stats here then ... ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
Anything to disable to get more battery, also what is the standby time do you get ?

will do as you suggested .....
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
i think you need to update your phone ...

update is available ... you are on kitkat i think ... update it to lollipop and you will get better battery backup ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
Already updated the day i got it (Saturday 16th) so I dont have any idea of battery backup on kitkat

i am going to charge and reboot and use it and then will post the results.
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
okay .. post ASAP and my battery backup is not enough too for a whole day ... i want atleast 7 hours of onscreen time ... and i got only 4 hours .... so post your battery stats later and let me know that this problem only occured on my phone or yours too .... and tell me if you find any good solution to battery backup ... all the best ... may be my suggestion will work for you and you will get better battery backup ... [emoji106]

This is what I got today, please guys suggest what shall I do, I am thinking to return it and get a Xperia z3
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
i think 3G is the problem ...

Z3 is much better then this phone ...

my battery backup is with 2G on

try using pixel battery saver ... this app low some pixels but you will have a better battery backup ... just don't think and get Z3 or a snapdragion version of this phone ... exynos battery backup sucks ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
I think i would place an order for a Imported Galaxy S5 from ebay , but before that i am going to do a factory reset today and a fresh installation and see how it goes.

Hows your battery performance, please do share your SOT as well

Anyways Flip kart has approved for a refund but i asked them for sometime to test the phone properly.
[Galaxy S 5 General] amankmr03:
that's why i like flipkart and snapdeal ...

they refund your money quickly if someone don't like a product or there is any problem in it ...

i will post my stats later tommorow or in some hours ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
Sure, On Ebay only the dual Sim version is available , May be i will have to change the model and got for Xperia Z3 , I really liked this phone and wanted to use it.....

i tried many times to upload attachment but tapatalk force closes ... i don't know what is the problem with my phone ... i also want to change my phone because battery backup really sucks on samsung phones just because of AMOLED screens ... i don"t know when they will out the new update of the phone and resolve the battery issue of this phone ... never gonna buy samsung again ...

[Galaxy S 5 General] jneves141:
I'm on BOD3 with nearly 50 apps and my phone is getting no more than 2h SOT and is getting pretty hot in 2-3min. So what bloatware should i deactivate? I already disabled ChatON, Samsung Link and ANT but when i go check they are running... I only use S Health and TW (with weather widget). Also, is hard reset a soution?

Oh btw, none of those apps is draining according to GSam. The problematic ones could be Twitter or Snapchat. I don't use Facebook or Messenger.
[Galaxy S 5 General] htb2050:
How long have you had your phone for? Maybe your battery just got old of you did used to get better.

One other thing that you can do is that flash boa3 firmware that recently came out. I am getting much better battery life then any of other lollipop roms that I had earlier.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jneves141:
I have the phone since March...

What BOA3? Can you tell me the build?
[Galaxy S 5 General] htb2050:
I am on phone so can't link from the app but check in s5 original android development for "ALEXANDR" Rom.

Hey guys, how is your battery life when you listen music on Spotify or something like that?
[Galaxy S 5 General] egps2:
On my kitkat G900i I can get around 4-6 hours SOT but if stream spotify for 6+ hours I usually get around 2-3 hours SOT in a single charge. Definitely uses more battery than offline playback. I Think spotify not only has to download the music but also decrypt it, both of which would use extra cpu power.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mavambu:
Ah ? thank you for the information because I was wondering why the battery is draining fast while my screen is of and while my Spotify is in offline mode
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
For the model number G900H I am on stock lollipop Rom

Do you guys suggest to use any app to optimise standby battery drain as I loose about 20% battery while sleeping
[Galaxy S 5 General] cavags5:
20% ? ??

How its that possible. ?

Do you left wifi on?
[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
Yes my friend
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Even if you leave Wi-Fi on you shouldn't lose much. I lose 0.5% per hour at night

I think is too much 20% while you are sleeping.

I have data on all day and if i don't touch it maximum 2% h.

Try a hard reset.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
You either have something seriously wrong with your phone (e.g. Some bad app or something) or your connection to your Wifi and / or mobile tower is very weak forcing your mobile to work harder to keep a connection and thus use up more power.

[Galaxy S 5 General] sandeeppathak007:
seems to be back to normal today after about 10 hours of normal usage i still have 50% battery left
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
I just did a test over the past couple of days with an app called Line. I noticed that with the app installed the percentage of battery for Android system and Android OS was quite high and always more than the screen time. Even with fairly heavy usage 3-4hrs sot those 2 would still be above the screen time.

I have now uninstalled it and lo and behold those two use up less battery and my screen percentage even after like 30mins is at number 1 again on the battery list.

Now the funny thing is Line does not even show up or is the last item on the battery usage list.

My sort of question is, what are apps like these doing to cause those 2 to spike in battery usage and if apps can do this then this makes it hard for people to work out what is draining their battery.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Domstadt:
Can anyone tell me why I get so "bad" battery stats now?

I bought my galaxy s5 3 months ago and I got in the first weeks SOT of about 5-7 hours.

Right now I'm struggling to get 4h.. I'm mainly using it with WiFi (data turned off when I use WiFi and WiFi turned off when I'm using data).

All syncs are disabled, except googles contact data and stuff. Even the weather and email App I'm using I need to sync them manually.

I also disabled apps like hangouts, google play games/books/movies etc., stuff that I really don't need.

The display brightness is at about ~10% most of the time.

I even restored my phone a few days ago, but that has not changed much.

Can someone help me? There is no app that is draining my battery.

And I don't need to tell you, that when I'm using the phone with data (no LTE in my contract) the phone dies much faster and I won't get close to 4h SOT.

I don't know what's wrong.. In the beginning everything worked fine.

ROM: Stock Lollipop, non rooted (and I don't want to root it..)
[Galaxy S 5 General] -sandro-:
did it start with lollipop?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Domstadt:
When I first booted the phone, I updated it directly to Lollipop.
[Galaxy S 5 General] justyourimage:
It seems to me the high drain in Standby is related to WiFi (at least mine). I've noticed a high drain with WiFi active in several CM12.1 and even CM11 roms with BOD3 modems and above.

No matter if I disable always scanning and automatic frequency switching - only if I disable WiFi and am using 4G in Standby I get less (!) drain with a medicore connection to add to that(!).

The only Lollipop Rom that had it somewhat under control with BOE6 was Exodus resulting in just -0.7-0.9%/h without messing around. I'm currently testing older modems to see if there 's a better one for me. Maybe I should try my carrier specific one.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Domstadt:
Its completely opposite for me. WiFi drains much less than 3G for me.

(I'm using 3G, because my contract does not include LTE and my area isn't supported well for LTE)
[Galaxy S 5 General] justyourimage:
How much drain do you get with Wifi on?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Domstadt:
I don't know how to tell you this excactly, but when I'm using the phone in WiFi for 1h, I lose about ~4%.

When I din't use the phone, I lose ~0,5% per hour.

When I'm using it with mobile data it's much more and I get a worse SOT compered to WiFi. Even in standby.

Those aren't excactly my stats, I haven't messured it excactly. It's just my personal experience.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wasiq224:
I am having some serious battery drain with my Galaxy S5 G900F.

The problem only occurs when i am connected to mobile data. When i'm on wifi, I get about 5 hours screen on time. But when mobile data is running (like when i'm not home) my phone drains like 1-2% percent without the screen even being on! and it gets really really hot even if its just in my pocket! I can probably get about 1-2 hours screen on time with data enabled, which is really bad. I'm wondering if there is any known wakelock hat only runs with mobile data running...

I really need help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
I must say after using package disabler to disable a lot of bloatware and removing apps like, Facebook and Facebook messenger (and just use the Web versions and emails for notifications) my battery seems to be doing much better now especially for stand by time.

Now it only chews up around 0.5% per hour for stand by.
[Galaxy S 5 General] GienPL:

[Galaxy S 5 General] Rajaasim1980:
which give better battery life? stock 4.4.2 or lollipop 5.0? I am on stock 4.4.2 firmware and dont know whether upgrade to latest lollipop version will increase or decease screen on time of s5
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
Google won't fix it. The are done with lollipop releases and are now concentrating on releasing M. They don't care about the users.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I get roughly the same for SOT. In regards to stand by time I think KK os better.

Is there any other advantage of lollipop over KK? can we downgarde easily from lollipop to kit kat

Is batterylife on Stock TW Lollipop 5 better than on the latest CM12.1 nightlies? Im not so good at this stuff, but for some reason I feel like I have more battery since yesterday (completely back to stock via Odin) compared to when I was on CM12.1 with Amplify and that kinda stuff.

Could it just be CM12.1? And are other ROMs actually any better than stock for battery life? Because otherwise I'll just completely debloat stock... and also enjoy the feaugures of stock rom.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Have you tried running Power Nap and nothing else? No Greenify, Amplify, AppOpsXposed, etc. I got rid of everything except Power Nap with nothing but SuperSU whitelisted. I don't get push notifications from apps like FB and I don't use gps. However, I noticed my battery life seemed a little better running Power Nap without all of the other battery saving apps competing with each other.

On my SM-G906S the battery life sucks on everything lollipop, but I've found deodexed stock more battery friendly than the unofficial CM12.1 or Dokdo Project (also CM12.1 based) roms available for this variant. IMO debloated stock lollipop (or even KitKat) seems the way to go, since we probably won't see Android M (supposedly the lollipop cure) for the S5 anyway.
