You are moving to the S7 just for battery life ? I mean yes i totally agree the S6 have average battery life but it last a full day , also it charges very quickly , put it on charge while you are having dinner and you will get another 40%
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
No, also for micro sd and ip68.. i need that things?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Ah good luck then ! ?
[Galaxy S6 General] ibblaw77:
Guys is it advisable to upgrade to 6.0 from 5.1.1? Is battery better?
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
With stock ROM (even rooted) you will never get good battery life. None of custom kernels solve battery life issues.

Good luck with S7.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I tried everything, all roms and kernels.. also use Synapse.. thank you!
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
I have already made that before...

Wi-Fi is very hungry here

Lol ?
[Galaxy S6 General] pokr777:
Also here
[Galaxy S6 General] archzz:
I had adaptive screen and medium brightness set on auto, but yeah, the battery drained faster below 50%. Got like 5 and a half hours SOT. Too bad i didnt take screenshots.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
also [MENTION=5431220]jocaboss[/MENTION]

Can you both show app sucker screenshots?

[MENTION=3803923]archzz[/MENTION]

I absolutely believe you. I got similar results (12hrs SOT in total).
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Full stock , airplane mode because i was sleeping and have bad reception in my room.
[Galaxy S6 General] itzik_man:
Be carful what you wish for....

The last reviews of the S7 Edge showed poor battery handling of this unit!

You mite be changing your S6 for the wrong reason....
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
With last updates? Can you give me the link please mate?
[Galaxy S6 General] itzik_man:
Link below

http://www.droid-life.com/2016/03/21/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-review/

Note: Google for more. Don't read Benchmark reviews, look for users reviews only!
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Only because you have snapdragon. , exynos is a bit better.

My s6 is gone and soon I will have my s7edge exynos .

I pretty sure battery is way better.

See this test.

https://youtu.be/hC75ixL_K-I
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Wow that's really impressive. Now i'm back to lollipop on XtreStoLite 2.4 battery is very good, more life than Marshmallow with Synapse, xposed, amplify prevent run and greenify.

I installed Lollipop today and in deep sleep (two hours) with sync on and wifi on it lost maybe 2%..

Way better..

I think cavags i'm gonna buy s7 edge (not only for the battery)

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

I read that and yeah, with Snapdragon many users archieve bad battery life.

Also depends a lot of usage, maybe he has a problem with his s7 edge..

But there are many users, Italian also, that said the battery life is very good.

:)
[Galaxy S6 General] itzik_man:
Good luck with your S7 Edge....

Your conclusion on the S7 battery usage is based on: 5 min Gaming, 5 Min Browsing and 5 Min YT? very funny!

Don't get me wrong, the S7 is a great phone over the S6, but I still think its weakest feature, is its battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
This was only a test from a user.

Can you do this test with the s6 stock.?

Get 7h every day?

Im sure you don't.

And s7 to s7 edge its a little difference. , and if you google for more tests you will find if it worth or not.

I spoke with some users of s6 that trade for the s7 edge and they said it rocks.

Soon mine arrive i will show the difference of my daily usage. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
I got s7 and believe me there there is not much difference. Maybe 30-45 mins SOT . I wish I didn't bother and stuck with s6. Paying over £500 for an extra 45 mins of SOT
[Galaxy S6 General] skivnit:
Lol what????it's double the sot on s7 edge compared to s6 edge I have both
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Seriously double. Your dreaming ha . You telling me you get 13-14 hrs SOT on s7. Well mine must be defective. The most i ever got was 7 hrs tops. Plus i got normal s7 not edge
[Galaxy S6 General] skivnit:
Yes you should get around min 7hrs dot what do u get on ur s6 edge?I can't get more than 4
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Selling s7 now. Thinking of lg g5
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
All S7/S7 edge owners were very happy about battery life , i see a lot of 7/8 hours SOT , but you know it depends on how you use the phone. I'm super happy with my S6 , yes battery is crap but come on it charges very fast , i dont mind charging it while having launch ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
The weak point of sot is you can trick it that easily:

I usually get 5 - 5.5hrs sot. Did a 2 hour anime marathon and look at the sot :D:p On the positive side, this compensated the sot I was expecting from the S6 back then when I bought it! BTW completely stock unrooted and with package disabler pro!
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Thats true...if your reading xda for example with a dark baground you can get 10h sot...but in a day to day usage with fb,yt and other things you will still get 4h sot...
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Which app you used to change the font please ? The apps i used to have no longer work with Marshmallow , thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] skivnit:
No you will not get 4h SOT the meaning I can get is 5hrs. The min I got was 5.5 hrs and that's with 4g only
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
I have problem with battery drain in marshallow, I don't know its started after first update to marshallow or from April update, but sometimes phone do not go to deep sleep. Battery status show what "android system" always keeps phone alive. Like example, yesterday at 10 PM I finish charge phone, today at 7 AM i got -15% per night (wifi OFF, BT-OFF, mobile data OFF). Drained battery "android system" ~78%, and show what all 9 ours the phone was alive. But I can't find what of "android system" drain, because there are many process. GSam monitor show what drained "android system" and "kernel". To fix this problem helps only reboot, but after some time this begins again. If everything ok, I get -1 %-2% drain per night. Wake lock detector do not show any anomaly. LP worked fine.

stock S6 without root, only some bloatware disabled with "package disabler pro".
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
I don't have the screenshot for that battery cycle. But i have all data from yesterday cycle. The WiFi shows big draining in gsam but in Android stats no, weird!
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
It's iFont https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont

You need to change in its settings from Auto mode to either Samsung mode or Install mode (Samsung, Sense..). But still not all fonts work!
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Okay thank you , because no font work for me...Will try again with this settings trick

Edit : still dont work :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
You'll need to install the font from the app itself. When you choose a font, click download and install. I think the recommended fonts work.. Mine is called Betsu from Vietnamese fonts something like that.. There's a font thread in the Themes & Apps section of the forum! Try there;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Will try again :(

Edit : Still not working , thank you marshmallow
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
any of you getting Whatsapp as the top battery hogger? for me its always whatsapp. dont know why.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jimios:
I have exactly the same problem (unrooted, stock S6), it definitely started with the April update, since the March update was rock solid. I didn't change any settings and I didn't install any new apps, it just started happening after the April update.

It happens when I fully charge the phone, after I remove the cable it basically never goes to deep sleep.

It's fixed with a reboot, but does anyone know of an actual solution? Aside from waiting on Samsung to fix...
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
Jimios, nice, maybe it's kernel failure. Let's wait samsung update.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Nope for me whatsapp consume almost nothing
[Galaxy S6 General] Luc989:
I solved this problem by first turning off wifi location, but it did not help, until I fully discharged battery so phone turned off, then after charge no more Android OS battery drain.

[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
are you on stock ROM? and what settings do you have for whatsapp's chat backup? i guess i have enabled backup to google drive, but thats only at 0300AM. so that shudnt be an issue right?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
I'm on full stock , backup to google drive is enabled and set to everyday , which mean it doesnt cause any issue.

Go to apps manager , force close it and clear cache , see if that helps
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
i will try that and see if it helps... :(
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
it can help. Maybe no need full recharge, just after disable reboot phone.

Yesterday I disabled facebook (which is preinstalled in my official ROM) and rebooted phone, till now no issues with battery drain from Android OS.
[Galaxy S6 General] ra9b:
Has anyone ever seen this service draining battery before? I didn't find anything on Google, but I was wondering if you guys have seen this.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Those are uninstalled apps i think
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
I have asked this question in another thread but didn't get answer. Since I have updated my phone to 6.0.1 my don't know how to sleep it keeps cpu at 400mhz. But once I reboot it problem is solved but until next time when I put it on charger, after I unplug it it loose deep sleep ability. Could someone help me?

Samsung support told me that they don't know about such bug/problem and I should hard reset my phone, but I don't wanna to lose all my data on it so please help or any solution?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
Read my yesterday's post and a couple messages up, i think we have the same problem
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
So you suggest me to discharge my phone to 0 and that problem will be solved?

Because I have already tryed to disable apps my WiFi location is off I have never turned it on, my security patch is from this month, I have even tryed to clean cache couple of times throughout Samsung recovery

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

I am actually pretty sure that we have the same problem, but I don't get why there so much people without this problem, or they do have this problem but didn't realised it yet
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
I bought from Playstore or Galaxy app
[Galaxy S6 General] vipanonymous:
what's wrong with System?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
drain isn't very big, maybe other peoples think what everything ok, but more and more peoples come here with same problem.

vipanonymous : we don't know yet

P.S. disable facebook do not help, at night drain started again. Now i disabled all locations and rebooted phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
what theme is it anyway? looks cool..
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
It's avenger theme black widow I guess
[Galaxy S6 General] ra9b:
that's strange, i didn't uninstall any apps that day...
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
Here I have rebooted phone with my charger plugged in, and then I have disconnected it. Now I am afraid to put my phone on charger again
[Galaxy S6 General] gelocatronico:
Hi, im tired of flashing differents roms, always 6.0.1 stock as i dont want to root (knox1)

anyone can help me what can i do? disabled step counter in s-health, additional sensor services and dont know... im thinking on sell it

rarely i view whatsapp, no videos browsing music NOTHING, rarely i get 1 full day over 30% batt.

cpuspy stays at 400mhz at least 10%
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
As you can see we all struggle with this problem. Only thing that we can do is waiting for someone to find i fix for this or for samsung o release official fix
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
is it region specific? i dont see it on my galaxy app. :crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
No. You only can install when your install/purchased the avenger theme series on April 2015. I guess all early S6 adopted can have this theme haha
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
Hey guys I hope that I have found solution for battery , just disable fast charging in option and reboot your phone. I hope that it would help, for now it's helped me :)
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
Ohh sad... :( looks nice though
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
This is what i get. Almost always Whatsapp ends up near top or top of the apps to drain battery.

I tried clearing cache and force stop etc..
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Do you use it all day ? And do you send pics + videos ?
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
I have set to recieve only pics on 4g. In wifi its all free to download anything. But at home when on wifi i dont see whatsapp at all in the list.

I dont greenify whatsapp. So its always on, but i dont use it all the time. mostly 10 to 15msgs in an hour during daytime on 4g.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
When you posted the battery stats screenies , how much was your SOT ? 1h30 - 2 hours ?
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
Yep it was 1hr 40mins..

And this s new screenshot with whatsapp on top
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
Do you have any problems with deep sleep and with discharging your battery when phone is not in use?
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
I get more than 70% deep sleep always. I dont get this issue on wifi. I only get it on 4g/3g... by the way, i have 4g signal at full tower always..
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
I don't get it, my phone discharge at night by 20% without any use, and I just can't get deep sleep on it, I am desperate
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
1h40 SOT , 4G enabled and 55% is good for the S6 , i get a little bit more because i use Wifi
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
I too think so. But my concern is why whatsapp tops the list always...
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Your battery life is good , so the only thing i can think about is that you are using it a lot ?

Do a test : In the next cycle of charge , dont use whatsapp at all , see if it still draining your battery
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
How is the new update to 200 megas .???

¿¿¿¿btu no get
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
I didn't got update yet.

Disable places do not help, disable fast charging mode too, still after some time starts battery drain from android os
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
What fw do you have now. ?

BTU. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] dsaklein:
I have even tried hard reset and reinstall android via Kies an SmartSwitch, and still after i unplug my charger deep sleep is gone. One solution is to reboot your device every time you unplug charger and wait for Samsung to release fix
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
France mate?
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
Is it true that disabling fast charge makes the battery last longer??? Note 4 users claim so... :|
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I use a normal charger 1.5V and in 2.30 hours it charge my S6. When i charged my phone with Fast Charge i didn't see a lot of difference in battery life.

Maybe 10 minutes plus in SOT with the normal cable 1.5V
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Yes , with fast charging the phone became so hot and that's pretty bad for the health of your battery.

To be honest there is almost no difference , i did a test charging my S6 with fast charge enabled and disabled , with fast charge on it charge in 1h10 , without it it take 10-15 min more , so i always disable it to take care of my battery.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

It has nothing to do with how much battery life will you get , it only affect how much your phone will take to charge , only.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

not sure how but i'm super happy. With heavy usage!
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Here is it guys , today i did the heaviest usage ever on my S6 since i got it 2 weeks ago.

I did my best to avoid any long standby time , brightness was high ( 75% ) , location on when needed , listening to music for more than 3hours , light gaming ( about 20 minutes ) , and i also used the camera and took about 15 pics , i think battery life is pretty good for that heavy day.
[Galaxy S6 General] KannonFodur:
how wrong are you. lol
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
OMG , powersaving mode on this phone is insane ! Can't believe this
[Galaxy S6 General] pappy_034:
How long could S6's battery last if the brightness is on 0-20%, sync off?

S6 and S6 edge have the same battery, and they have the same battery life?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Update :
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
Is Good The new update .what is ??

My fhone isperement new performance and Good battery in update 2 april
[Galaxy S6 General] Jimios:
It seems like I have fixed the battery drain problem mentioned a few pages back.

I let the phone drain to 0% so it shut off. Then I charged it to 100% and it goes to deep sleep normally again.

At least for now...
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
I can't really understand what you mean but my phone is running Marshmallow 6.0.1 , the phone is ultra smooth and blazing fast , best phone i ever had.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
What phone do do had before s6?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
My phones history :

- Galaxy Mini

- Xperia Arc S

-Galaxy S4

-LG G2

-Iphone 5

-Came back to the G2 lol

-Galaxy S5

-Galaxy A5 2016 ( my first and last midranger)

-Galaxy S6 now
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
What about the battery on A5?

All good phones.

I could say that i prefer my note 4 than the s6 for daily use ,

My daily apps s6 don't open faster.

Battery is way better.

Only miss s6 camera is much better that the note of course.

But soon i will have s7 edge lets see how behave the battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
I think it s not Worth upgrading to the s7 just for an extra 1h sot ..i get easily 4-5 h sot on my s6 edge
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Battery life on the A5 2016 is "Awesome" , i was always gettings 2 days of usage , yes 2 days , with more than 6h SOT including gaming , it was a beast.
[Galaxy S6 General] id.goPLAY:
I can confirm that, my wife have the Galaxy A6 (2016), too. SOT 6+ hours with "WiFI Always On".

But SOT on my Galaxy S6 is max. 3 - 3,5h. After Xperia Z2 (SOT: 5,5 - 6h) that's disappointing.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
I think it worth for the s7 edge

i only get s6 4h on 4G and 5h to 6h in wifi .

Note 4 5h 4G.

Hope s7 edge do 5h or 6h in 4G , i was reading s7 edge do easy 6h 4G.

For me is awesome.

Because i don't care about Wi-Fi. I can do 7h with note.

Wi-Fi im always at home can charge when i want.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Yep , but look at my last screenshots ,powersaving mode changes the game.

But i'm not really mad the S6 is a huge upgrade coming from the A5 , much much more smoother and blazing fast.

Also the S6 charges almost 2 times faster than my A5 , it took me 1h15 min sometimes even less , while the A5 was taking (almost) 2hours.
[Galaxy S6 General] id.goPLAY:
Yes, but battery saver mode will drop the performance and TouchWiz (Phone) will lag. :/
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
If you are just texting or watching videos only it's worth , but if you are multitasking and doing heavy stuff disable it.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
If are some doubts here is another test

https://youtu.be/XeVTqIhtJGs
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
Battery life is always subjective. I already have seen people with s7 making better and worst battery cycles than my s6.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Yea..i saw some with 4h sot on s7 edge and some with 8-9..but i can beat they have everything disabled and use a lot of black baground apps..i can achieve that with those settings..

i can give you an example...use xda app with black theme...i lose like 10 percent or less for 1h sot...so imagine how much sot could i get if i use a lot that app...that`s why some get more sot and some less..if i want i can get 8h sot or 9 with my s6 edge :D

Cell Standby

Guys, I'd appreciate as much help as you can provide me. Heres the deal:

As many of other S6 owners, I suffer from the "Cell Standby" battery draining issue.

My carrier (TIM-Brazil) does not provide Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, nor Advanced or HD Calling features. Still, I'm getting it to drain 25 to 30% of my daily battery use. I've searched for all over XDA, commonly read android forums but could not find a solution. Believe me, I have all battery-friendly settings turned on/off and my screen brightness won't pass 25%.

So far, I keep 3h SoT, from a total of 16h battery as a record.

I use the phone mostly for browsing social media and internet navigation.

PS: Stock software with some bloat disabled (Package Disabler). SM920I running 6.0.1 updated via OTA.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Anybody knows a solution to 'Android OS'? It's killing my battery.

In 46 minutes my phone goes from 100% to 79%.

Had the same problem with battery drain. Today i did a factory reset, hope this solved my problem. Will report in few days.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
I turned location from High to Battery Saver and battery drain gone, Android OS at bottom of list. Not what you need if you use the GPS a lot, but if you do not this is a good temporary fix.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jimios:
What has worked for me (posted it a few pages back):

Let the phone drain to 0% so it shuts itself down.

Plug in your charger and charge the phone normally to 100%.

Doing this has fixed the problem of 'Android OS' for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
changing location from High to Battery Saving fixed it for me
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
location do help (after half day drain begins again from Android OS). Just after after each charge I reboot phone, till next charge everything ok.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
I don't know why people need GPS high accuracy if don't use it unless we are driving with maps or find some location.

I have always off.

I have weather app that update to my city the weather, and some locations through Google web.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
I actually do require high accuracy GPS.

If it does help me, I'll hit the thanks button on the post of yours.

People have different ways of using the GPS on the their phones. I keep it on high accuracy for Anti-Theft tracking purposes and the fact that I use GPS tagging on my photos. I sometimes take photos in remote places.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Exactly , i use it only when needed.
[Galaxy S6 General] ProtoDeVNan0:
Battery life on s6 is really poor. I have to charge my phone 3-4 times a day. I've tried all configurations, options, kernels. And it still is bad.

Comparison:

Galaxy S6: 3-4 times a day.

Note 4: 1-2 times a day.

IPhone 6 Plus: 1-2 times a day.

Lumia 535: Once (barely 2 sometimes) a day.

Xperia M2: Once a day.

And if anyone is curious. I use my phone all the time. Maybe just 2-5 minute breaks. One thing that I like about S6. Is that it charges within 30-60 minutes on ultra power saving mode with some kernel tweaks. Without tweaks and the mode, it usually takes around 60-80 minutes.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Holy ****..what can You do on a phone for sooo long ? You only stop for 5 mins :o
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Note 4 : 1-2 times a day ? Do you live on your phone or what ? Discharging the Note 4 in 1 day is almost impossible even with heavy usage , that phone is beast in term of battery life.

For the S6 , i get between 4-5h SOT all day , pretty good imo.
