We're on a forum which the goal is to share our experience, exchange about tips & tricks, no ?

I don't get 5hrs SOT even so.... then it's important for people who can't get a good daily house (4-6 hours SOD) to know what's exactly blocked / authorized / configured !

Generally, people in xda just put their printscreen & are proud to claim "I get X SOT" but never explain in details their configuration....

Brezzo is on XtreStoLite Rom, Arter97 kernel, xposed (amplify, greenify). I'm curious to know what's precisely authorized in greenify & what's exactly blocked in Amplify (Then, I will compare with my configuration & exchange my results on this thread).
[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
I agree with the first point that we're here to exchange tips and tricks to get that optimal SOT.

I just dislike people who put their SS on this thread proclaiming "Yay I got X SOT!" and did it mainly for showing off. So what if you got that SOT? Are you going to get a prize for that?

As for my 5hrs SOT, I achieved it on unrooted stock ROM, using manual hibernation from Greenify, clearing recent apps, clearing RAM using Smart Manager and reducing screen brightness whenever possible. Setting your wallpaper to a black background will also help with battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] marios_ch:
Smart manager is an app?

Any details?

Thx
[Galaxy S6 General] vagelis74:
Smart manager is the official samsung clean manager,you can find this app in the stock widgets.

I agree with you ! :)

As I had a big problem with the battery drain, today I've decided today to upgrade my device to Xtrestrolite V2.3 + Arter kernel V5.0 Beta. I'm using manual hibernation from greenify and reducing screen brithness with lux (as usual). My wallpaper is set with a black background also (I used to...).

Now, I'm doing an excel sheet with the name & duration of wakelocks, alarms & service blocked with. Amplify. If I'm achieving my goal (around 5hrs SOT), I will share my sheet here. But for the moment, I'm still testing & I'm really not sure about my amplify settings....

Then, I find interesting & helpful for the community that brezzo (& others people) shares their settings (specially Amplify & Greenify)...
[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
It's not a useful app to help with RAM management IMO, but the only reason I use it is because I'm not rooted. If I was rooted that app would be uninstalled.

I used Greenify on my previous phone with donation apk and I used tricks like the black background and brightness. I won't count it as SOT but it managed 0% battery drop for 8 hours straight.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
No Offence mate and correct me if i am wrong. Doesnt the battery app show not charging when the device is plugged in. Obviously i know that the phone is charged at 100% and maybe its maintained over 8+ hours. Not Sure

I am on G9200 HK model which has no Xda rom at all and have to live on Chinese rom and i never have got 3-4 SOT on stock. In fact on Stock it was worse. Currently i am on a paid rom and usually will get 3-4 hours in 8-9 hours usage. So i also find this thread interesting to know what other users are doing. I am also using combination of Greenify + Amplify + Power nap.
[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
It's the other way round. It will show not charging when it's not plugged in. It was 8 hours since I removed it from the charger and I left it alone for 8 hours when I got that result (I was sleeping). Obviously it's not considered SOT since the screen was never on from the start. You can try it on your phone and see if "not charging" appears when you plug it in. Another sign it was not plugged in was the "on battery" timing on the graph. If it was plugged in it would show "charging".
[Galaxy S6 General] rinderkappajoe:
Hey Guss, what Do You think are These normal battery stats? I used my Phone a Lot yesterday but i am not too satisfied with this. I really try to Do a Lot to save my battery. I am on Stock and use greenify. My brightness is at approx 30% and I am in WiFi the whole day and I use LTE. When in WiFi i turn off my mobile Data.

I also use s-health for counting my steps, Do You think this costs a Lot of battery? I dont want to turn everything off.... Thats not what a i Need a Smartphone for.... Turning all the Features off.

I use the settings to turn the WiFi off When in standby.... But everytime i wake my Phone froh standby it is still or allready connected to WiFi.... Shouldnt i get a notification... "now connected to WiFi XY"?

Today i used my Phone for 1h49min and I am allready to 89%.....it feels not that good.... SOT 40min....:rolleyes:

Can i get a big improvement with Rooting the Phone? I am not that pro wo could Do all this stuff easily so i would prefer to Stay on Stock first..... But if i Can improve my battery life a Lot i would go for it.

I am thankful for any Kind of help.

Regards Philipp

Deep sleep seems to work normally.
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
5 Hours 38 minutes is a pretty good result for stock... When I was on stock I would only get 4 hours SoT. I now vary between 5-8 hours SoT (with root + kernel/rom change), so your results are not bad at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] rinderkappajoe:
Yes but i saw also 5+hours SOT and total battery life 24hours. When i dont Use my Phone that much i get total battery life of Approx. 14 hours with 2.5SOT. Something just doesnt Seem right in my opinion. Maybe i just have to watch it a Bit.

When my Phone was New, not long ago the battery life was like 24 hours but now i get 16 hours maximum even when i am not using it much

Enclosed my stats for the Moment.

Btw what is the difference between Android OS and Android System?

Is the percentage of both normal?
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
Again, I'm not entirely sure what you are saying here.. Your last screenshot there shows 1 hour 45 minutes of SoT with 71% charge remaining? That would end up being about 35 mins of SoT per 10% battery, or over 5 hours of SoT in a whole charge. The screen will drain most of your battery. when you use it.

If you want to try and save some juice, try the app Package Disabler. It will let you disable some stock software you might not use. There are threads around about how to do that.
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
I followed this guide, mostly: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588

There are different services/wakelocks available too for our samsungs to disable in amplify. It will vary even by phone. I don't have that many disabled, really, just go through each "safe to disable" one, see what it does (they usually give a short description of what is safe to disable and why), and then look for other "unknown" safe to remove ones, google their names, see what others are saying. That's what I did. Some notable ones were RILJ0, NetworkStats, *net_scheduler*, wake:com.google.android.gms/.config.ConfigFetchService.

The times that I allow them varies by each one, I usually allow wakelocks between every 5 and 10 minutes. If the 0.0% idle guide said longer, I set it to longer. Attached is screenshot of my limited wakelocks and overall stats.

My greenify settings are basically stock, I just chose some apps that I don't use much or need running in the background, nothing special.
[Galaxy S6 General] albert000:
Thank you !

I've also followed this guide that you mentioned. My battery drain is much better.

Could you please also share what alarm's you've blocked ?

I'm doing an excel sheet that I will share with the community. (alarms blocked with duration, wakelocks blocked with duration, service blocks)

Do you use power nap ? Which app is authorized ?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
I tested package disable pro in stock and doesn't notice any difference. Still get around 4.3h daily.

[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
I have virtually no alarms blocked, as you can see in my stats screenshot. Only 2 blocked: com.android.internal.telephony.data-stall 600 seconds, com.google.android.gms/.lockbox.LockboxAlarmReceiver 1200 seconds

I do not use power nap.
[Galaxy S6 General] dzontra83:
I have a problem with battery drain on my g920f. I am on engineering bootloader (5.0.2), on COH2 baseband, back-to-n0tr3 rom, with 5.0 beta 1 artur kernel. I charged my phone to 100% last night, after 8 hours of cell standby my high usage wakelocks were:

1. radio-interface about 40 minutes

2. lli_pm_wlock about 30minutes

3. umts_ipc0 about 20 minutes

4. bcm4773_wake_lok about 15 minutes

Before this rom and kernel i was on XtreStoLite 2.3 with unikernel v8-2, and had exactly the same problem.... I kepp my phone beside the window during the night, according to better battery stats i have moderate signal 2h20 minutes over 12h of usage, i am on 2g, with wifi connected. Can someone help me to solve this problem, maybe flashing different baseband (combination of engineering bootloader/5.1.1 baseband is causing problems), or something else... Tnx in advance
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucky8890:
I've also got similar problem, arter97 kernel 5.0 b1 and back-to-not3 V6. Dropped 26% in 8 hours, no wakelocks in BBS.
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
Try using GSAM Battery Monitor, I've found it gives better details for wakelocks, more specific info in "Apps usage".

[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
Get GSam Battery Monitor (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm). Monitor what apps and etc. are using your battery over a normal usage cycle. Tap the "App usage" button to get a breakdown as to what is using it, and then look into limiting those apps once you identify them.

Someone is using the built-in "Greenify"? I'd like to use it but I cannot see all the apps I have, only the most recent
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
Try pressing "show more apps" right at the bottom of the add apps page. I don't think every single app is displayed as some can't be greenified.
[Galaxy S6 General] lucianus_luciferus:
have you guys noticed that gsam is reporting wrong times?

or at least for me it does. most of the time it reports the wrong sot.

like yesterday it was showing 38min sot when it was well over 2 hours.

also it is showing battery temp 40000 degrees lol
[Galaxy S6 General] Robi959:
Yeah man i agree with that, gsam is reading wrong infos
[Galaxy S6 General] frezd91:
I don't have any "show more apps" :/
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
GSam can get reset by reboots and other events and then will report different times than the system battery info. Keep that in mind, also make sure you look at "Statistics since x hrs x min" because that will be how long those stats are for :)
[Galaxy S6 General] jetbruceli:
So even though my battery is still atleast healthy according to the battery test, which gave me over 7 hours sot using Geekbench 3, I still decided something had to be done so that I could use my phone and have extra juice without having to buy one of those battery cases. SO with my otterbox case, I attached velcro strips so that when I need to recharge it on the go, I can add the external battery to the back till its charged and then just remove it.

Any hints for me?

I have now tried many ROM´s and the battery life is still bad. I waited a few cycles but nothing changed.

My current configuration.

Tyranus ROM

Adam Kernel

Amplify

WLAN 2h

SOT 2h 15m

Bluetooth 15m

Gaming 3m light gaming

Screen Brightness at lowest Auto.

The phone is since 9 hours on and got 30% left.

Thats not normal or?

Battery life is not noticible better with XtreSto Lite

There isnt anything unusual in wakelock detector or Settings.

13% WhatsApp

10% Screen

9% Android

8% Facebook

5% Messenger

4% Google App

3% Android System

3% Google Services

2% Standby

I can use my old note 3 for 2 days without Problems and with s6 its hard to reach 1 day.
[Galaxy S6 General] Noxxxious:
XtreStoLite has a good idle battery drain. I would also switch kernel to arter 4.3 or vindicator for a better battery. And follow these two guides:

1. Idle Battery Drain on Stock ROM

2. Extreme battery life thread

This is very good standby, not even S5 or Note 4 does this while my time when im sleep.

I was wondering whether to go for the M9/G4 or S6, so i decided to check upon XDA to see in which forum there are fewer complains.. Well, 270+ pages of battery related issues are more then enough for me. Coming from the Galaxy S2 where i had to apply numerous third party fixes and the battery life still sucks. I cannot tolerate such ignorance from Samsung.. so i will go with a different vendor this time. "Well played" Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
My battery life is pretty good currently. I'm on the 8.1 version of Google Play Services, and I get about 2.5 to 3 hrs screen-on time, with battery lasting about 13 to 14 hours - so definitely gets me through a full work/school day. I am fully stock. But the reports of 7+ hours screen on time just seem rather unbelievable...

M sure you wouldve read all the battery life related threads..they have so many packages/ processess related to google services disabled. With Stock & no root i am getting on an avg 3.5 - 4 hrs of SOT. The max ive got is 5hrs of SOT incidentally it was today. Screenshot attached.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
I see you have 4G always on.

4G drain a lot the battery and if you have hot weather its worst. But i see you are always with the screen on.

And battery doesn't make miracles.

You have to disable everything you don't need.

And more apps you install more battery drain.

People bother too much with sot.

I could make 1h sot if i make my phone as a hot-spot its a example.

Forget greennify and all that bull****.

Disable what you don't need.

I make 4h sot in 4G during the day.

See other posts i put here.

4g vs what though? I disable lte to try to improve battery. So 4g drains more battery than LTE?

Kukuthejak. What did you disable? When I first got the phone even on stock and no root I couldn't get past 1.5 hr screen on time.
[Galaxy S6 General] kukuthejak:
I use Package disabler Pro - Mainly to disable samsung bloatware. Keep NFC off. Location services i use as and when i need it. Post the latest update on G902I, Standby time has improved for me. i keep wi-fi & bluetooh on at all times. Brightness level around 30-40%. I avg around 3.5 hrs of SOT, which is good enough to get me thru the day. quick charging helps.
[Galaxy S6 General] piotrus22:
I have it set to auto brightness. Could that be the culprit? I use titanium backup. That will do the same thing that package disabled does right?

And when had s5 i flash other and get much hotter and stay with original my country.

I have all the updates now to s6. Now only waiting for M or maybe arrive note 5 to Europe and definitely i will buy it.

People stop install apps don't need.

I think the 3 4 things that drain more battery is Samsung push service, i only enable to back up data to Samsung.

Than disable again.

2- the stock weather drain a lot.

4 - Google app, if you don't use Google now disable.

And 4G and low signal. Thats what i know.

4. Disabled all haptic feedback.

5. Using Weyzo theme (all black)

6. 1 pixel black wallpaper

7. Disable LED

8. Use Tasker for sync every 3 hours. You can select 4, 5 or whatever.

9. Power Savings Mode ON all the time. Yeap, sacrifices have to be made.
