how old your phone? 24h usage with 1h SOT battery should be ~60% (I comparing with mine usage). I don't see drains, android os usage bigger, but phone goes to deep sleep.

just what sensors worked for 8h. I recommend to install wake lock detector, maybe one of sensors work. I had problem with BCM 4773 sensor

[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
oho, very low brightness, because consumption less than 100 mAh per hour
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Yea..playing pokemon go on very bright sunlight cuz it s summer u know :)) result in low brightness????????????

Now you gonna say how better is lp and stuff ???????????? dont bother pls
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
xa xa xa, MM has good thing, it's show consumption in mAh. if consumption lower than 100, thats mean low brightness. on second post you have more consumption. So, don't lie ;)

of course, you can talk, what this comfortable to you, I don't care, I just give info, what low brightness.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
That s auto indoor my friend. I bet you dont use full brightness indoors. I never unchecked auto since i ve got the phone also that s why i switched to dpca so my phone will go to 500 nits when i m outside that means full brightness woth adaptive mode on.

I dont to argue again with you..everyone uses his phone in different way.

If you want good battery life use some older mm firmwares they always had better battery life.

If ur on lp..idk ur out of luck

.

Stop hating on me cuz i get good sot lowl
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
why should I need older MM, if I can lower like you and make goid SOT :D auto you can lower too, I wrote about this earlier. this is electric, if you don't know it, better don't write, because phone show information ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Very electric :))). It wont lower the brightness as it lowers when you dont have it on. Even at minimum with auto you can still see the screen indoors. I dont use minimum my slider is half way so it fits perfectly for indoor.

Also read some posts on the s7 thread a lot of ppl get lower mah than sot there..it s called eficiency not electric hahahaha

Dont try to act smart cuz ur not.

And this is not best, I can make better, just no time to play.

actually, this test is bull****, I don't understand, why some plps, like Diaze, do test in strange usage conditions, but these conditions aren't "daily driver".

where I wrote what my battery good? :D S6 has middle battery. You forgot, what I wrote about screen consumption, when you bla bla, what this is normal usage, but, for normal peoples this isn't normal.

[Galaxy S6 General] Calnyx:
For those with high standby drain, if you've already taken the OTA [as I did] I'd highly recommend a factory reset. After doing one, the standby drain seems to have improved a lot on my end.

Android OS was a notable killer for me, which now after the reset is only at 1% of battery used after 19 hours. It would get as high as 17% before.

https://imgur.com/nGko7qS,wAcQuo8

Screenshots are post-factory reset. I don't have any from before, sorry.

Edit: Should also add, I'm rooted, no apps are currently disabled, was not in battery saver mode for the above screenshots, and do not have any battery saver apps installed [such as greenify]. Location disabled. SM-G920T model number. Wifi calling disabled, but it was before too. VoLTE was enabled since the reset. I'd turned it off when I first got the phone, forgot to second time around.

[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Guys, a request not to quote whole 2K screen shot images while replaying. :)

2nd, you can see what's draining his battery. It's Android OS and Facebook. Samsung can hardly do anything about this.

Android OS battery drain is a known issue with many Lollipop update. Check these and there are tons of more reports in Internet:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2mqnsz/50_lollipop_and_andriod_os_battery_drain_come/

http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/the-worst-bugs-in-android-5-0-lollipop-and-how-to-fix-t-1663090445

S5 is also suffering from this issue after Lollipop upgrade. For *some* factory reset helped. In KitKat I had an issue with Chrome in past and Android OS drain. It can be anything from some background sync operation, calender push, some play services, GPS issues etc.,

The SOC is extremely good when in heavier tasks, as shown by Geekbench battery tests. So, when the phone drains a relatively lot more battery in idle state, it shows that something out there is not allowing it to go to sleep state. Best would be to monitor when you go to sleep. Check what takes up most battery when you sleep, this will probably tell you what's causing the drain during idle state.
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
My S5's battery life noticeably improved after the lollipop update. With KitKat, I always had Android OS and Android System near the top in terms in terms of battery consumption and even with every setting and sync off, Android OS and System remained near the top.

Lollipop fixed this issue and improved battery life by quite a bit. Ever since the lollipop update on my S5, I have been averaging 5 to 6 hours screen on time with a mix of WiFi/LTE. Exclusive WiFi use leads to nearly 7 hours of screen on time, this was nearly a 20% increase over what I had achieved in KitKat.

Although I have read of many horror stories regarding Lollipop, my experience with lollipop on the S5 has been great, the Nexus 5 was a nightmare after the update and is sitting in a drawer because of it.

I believe the S6's issues aren't directly related to lollipop but a result of nagging bugs with other aspects of the os and drivers related to the nre hardware. There's no doubt in my mind Samsung will fix these issues very soon and the S6 will end up with impressive battery life.

I wouldn't be surprised if it achieves the same battery life as I get with my S5 now.
[Galaxy S6 General] userguy:
This looks much more promising! Seems like you should end up with almost 6 hours SOT.

please tell us where you really ended up.
[Galaxy S6 General] kojaraty:
Battery life is good for me. Auto Brightness. Gps off. "Ok google" detection is off. Wifi was off about 3 hours and on most of the time. I was mostly browsing, using tapatalk, google+, and watched couple of youtube videos.

And this results with the issue of cell standby as you can see in the screen shots.

It is way better than my Nexus 5.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
That is true, Lollipop batterylife is highly inconsistent. Some people got better (like you), whereas for others it was worse. It's safe to say Google didn't do a very good job in rolling out a stable version. Most of the 5.1/5.1.1 are likely to be bug fixes rather than feature enhancements.
[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
This is early, but look at the SHARP change in direction to the drain on the green part of graph. Turned off volte in phone settings, then did a reset. Before doing that cell standby was at the top, after it isn't in the list at all. Will report back.

[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
Anyone know if there is anyway to configure the device to not allow any apps to run in the background or use any data unless they are certain apps that the user selects to allow? Apps that are trying to run in the background and do things while the phone is trying to sleep absolutely ruin idle battery life. I know Sony's stamina mode allows that and greenify I think does as well but it needs root. Anyway to do it without root?

Last charge Android OS in battery stats drain less battery then usual, and battery is great. Over 3 and half hours of SOT and over 24h of standby, there is still 40% of juice.

Hi !

I own a S6 G920 too, I usually get 3, 3 and a half hours of SOT, and this with a black theme from the market. I observed something weird, sometimes when I unlock the phone, I have, lets say 78% battery, and after a few seconds it drops to 76%. This happens a few times during a full charge. It's this a sign of an battery failure waiting to happen or software could be the issue ? I have 6.0.1 , 1 June 2016 security update. i can't update to the latest version as I rooted the phone. Also mentioning that over night I get 4-5% battery drain, and i disabled all the application I don't use, set everything to be battery friendly after reading a lot of threads. Yet, on my old S5 with 6.0.1 I would get 5-6 SOT easily, very little optimization, plus, only 1% over night.

[Galaxy S6 General] theking_13:
I'm on a S6 Active, but I realize we all have pretty abysmal battery life.

I don't see how you guys are complacent with 3-4 hours of SOT, I used to get 5.5-6 back in the original HTC One X days, and about 4.5-5 if I left data on the whole time.

My LG G2 used to get a solid 8-9 hours too.

GSM Arena tested the normal S6 to last ~10 hours for web browsing, and ~12 for movies. The Active was tested for 16 and 18 respectively.

Last night, I played 2 of the Pokemon movies off YouTube, so around 2 hours of SOT + wifi and my battery lost 12%, which is almost spot on.

However, daily using my phone, such as texting, web browsing, viewing the forums, it seems to lose 1% every 6-8 minutes, which is obviously draining at an accelerated rate compared to video viewing.

What system service is responsible? I assume it's a Samsung service but I could be wrong.
