yesterday back to LP, use time 20 h, battery level 68%, SOT 1.3h, 3g ~5h, wifi ~6h, screen brightness automatic (slider per center)........ not bad, with MM battery level with same usage was ~40% :)

Stock LP
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
Nice pal :)

Can you screenshot all the applications you have?

And also, is it rooted?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
not rooted. I don't know, why do not show viber, facebook and internet usage.

Nice mate.

I have almost the exact results here[emoji14]SOT 2 hours 4 min

Left = 57%
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
LP?

If tomorrow I'll have 48 h and 3h SOT - it would be amazing!
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
No I have MM

But yeah if you really do, that would actually be impressive and if I were you I would never update my phone haha

Will try LP later to do a comparison.

Did you disable the applications you don't use?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
yes, but I don't think this help for battery, maybe, only for RAM. And after LP flash you should install Package disabler and disable Update, because samsung automatic start download MM update :)

After three days phone will start optimize app's, maybe, it will be better for battery or not.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
up time 1d 19h 35 min, battery 19%, SOT 2h51min, stock LP, impressive after MM.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
That's great.

3 hours in two days (almost)

I flashed stock LP to do a comparison but found that MM has a better battery life.

for me MM max 1.5 day with 2h SOT. First release in March of MM was +- like LP, but later, after each update battery usage went worse and worse.

P.S. may record with LP was ~3d and 12h with ~3 hours SOT
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
So tell me about LP.

What have you done? Simply disabling the applications you don't want? What are they? Do you use any application that saves battery? (Root isn't necessary)

Well.. I'm running XtreStoLite 3.3.1 and Arter97's kernel, I tweaked it via L Speed to gain more battery life and improve the performance of it, but unfortunately, sometimes I get a "good" (not great and not bad) SOT and sometimes I get a "bad" one. We can't really do anything since it's something that Samsung has to deal with.. We just hope to receive an update soon fixing all the issues we're currently facing.

UPDATE:

Tried all the applications that "could" fix my battery life problem but couldn't find at first.. Then finally found L Speed that doubled my battery life (made it better) but not like how it's supposed to be. It's Samsung's fault.

The device is out since 2015 , about a year now. It received many updates and there is no "major" improvements in battery life , there is no solution in my opinion it's hardware...Battery capacity is small for that monster cpu and 2k screen.

it's not 100% true. Today first working day after downgrade to LP: up time 19h45min, all day 3G/Wifi on, BT on, ~1 hour of phone calls, a couple sms, a little bit skype, viber, email, web browsing - so, average phone usage. Now battery 65%, SOT 1h 4 min. I'll leave phone till tomorrow, I think will do 48 hours, it's not fantastic, but 48 hour with average usage will be ok for me. With MM battery level with same usage ~50%.

[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
I get on a "good" day 4 hours SOT and sometimes 4 hours and 30 mins it's not good but better than what I get on a bad day.

Bad day = almost 2 hours and 30 mins and sometimes hardly getting two hours lol

[Galaxy S6 General] Shamako:
I feel exactly the same way. Such an amazing device but the battery life during actual usage is extremely disappointing, even with tweaks like Greenify etc. It's gotten to the point where i'm actually considering swapping my father's Huawei P8 for it (a phone that has almost half the CPU/GPU power of the S6, worse camera, ugly UI and no fp sensor), just because the P8 actually consistently reaches 4hrs+ SOT. I'm hoping once CM is more stable, that battery life would be more consistent too.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
Indeed.

Lollipop doesn't run very well on my phone, I flashed stock LP to do a comparison between both, LP and MM.. But found out that MM is smoother and has better battery life. LP has some scrolling issues, lags a little, bad for multitasking (compared to MM) Will stick to XtreStoLite for now until a new build comes out with improved performance.

[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
we will see today, what battery level I'll have in evening, on morning was 62%

I can't understand, where you see lag in LP? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMOsu-mL4cE

I use Nova launcher in both systems.

For example:

Lags while using Facebook, when scrolling.

Your phone's battery life is greater than mine in same LP firmware/region, and also LP boosted your phone's performance as I understand. I don't know why, but the only thing I know is that MM on my phone performs better than how LP actually does. Will try to test LP later, again.

this video isn't mine. Just, I don't see any difference in performance between LP and MM, I just see better battery life. Checked faceebook, no difference to me :)

P.S now up time 1d13h30min, SOT 2h30min and 28% left.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
I know that it's not yours.

But that's weird, even though the LP you're currently running is the same I had.

Today is a good day, having a good battery life, 2 hours SOT and 61% left, medium usage.

I just checked, MM update got in the middle of March and in the end of March I wrote in this thread, what something wrong with battery in MM. But, maybe yes, May update is worse of all.

Very interesting thing, If I remember correctly, in MM Android OS usage always ~10-15%, in LP 4-5%.

Better battery life? Your battery life sucks... check mine at this time:
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
jocaboss, I don't compare your and mine, I compare mine MM vs mine LP! TheLegend975 compares his MM with his LP. My phone usage is different then yours, so, sometimes it's difficult to compare.
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
It's fair but in my records i never made more than 3.30h of SOT in LP and in MM is my minimum.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
we are different type users, I'm not SOT user(movies, web reading), I'm phone user (calls (2-3 hours per cycle), email, skype, viber), so for me 2-3h SOT is enough, but I want 48h battery life :) With MM, especially with May update, 24-30 hour max what I could do.
[Galaxy S6 General] hamica:
Whats better for battery life lollipop or mm ?

Btw. did someone try any good rom thats good with battery for s6 ?

I can't understand, why do not show Viber, Boom beach, web browser in app list
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Man look at my post a while back. 7h sot with 1 day and 4h usage or somthing like that. So for me it is great. And my phone is blazing fast as it should be a top smartphone
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
~3 h SOT and 280 mAh - brightness is very low. With middle brightness usage ~150 mAh / per hour. I do not say, what I did something WOW, I just compare my LP and MM on stock ROM.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
My brightness was always on auto my friend. If ur happy on lp stay on it..for me it is no go
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
we already discussed about yours "auto" :D

Aha.
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
Me neither. Normally my battery cycle is 2 days but on this 2 days my SOT minimum is 3:30/4h.

My media measured by gsam app is 1d+15h and 3:58h SOT.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Auto is very variable too. Depends a lot where you use normally the phone. If you use always indoor or in the car like me the brightness stays low and logically the consumption. If you use a lot outdoors with sun directly the consumption boost.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
custom ROM/kernel or stock?

i'm an android user since 4 years more or less, and reading some users saying that lollipop is better than MM on this s6 makes me O.O

personally, i think lollipop has been the worst version i've been on, but i respect other users's opinion.

however, yesterday i have flashed stock rom DPDP for my s6, just to see if i could get rid of brightness bug (no luck), and this is my battery (that has been better of every custom rom till now.. incredible)

Can anyone please tell me what's going on with this? When I'm not using the phone it's in my pocket on airplane mode. When I do use it, it drops very quickly. The Spotify is only ever local, saved music so never streaming over 4G so I don't think the whole problem is caused by that (I get battery like this without using Spotify).

I don't know why do not show all app, like viber, aquamail, boom beach, Facebook. Yes, these I not use a lot, but use. In graph seen big ussage (drop down) when I use a phone.

But yes, weekend, not so big ussage like working day, no so much calls and etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
Hi.

Good result, but apparently you're a light user (to me of course) because you don't use the battery-eaters applications such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and all those social apps, if you do and it doesn't show then I'd consider your SOT result a great one.
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
I really don't understand why people still use FB app when you can use browser e receive notifications from it.

Since my first android phone, i have never used it.

For whatsapp yes, i don't use it too much.

Viber never installed.

I meet people if i need to talk them xD
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
I really don't understand why people still use the browser to use Facebook, even though there is an application that was created to make using Facebook much easier and has better performance.

Ehh pal, that's how you get the most out of your phone, everyone has what makes him comfortable.[emoji14]
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
About every other app i don't say anything, but about FB i criticize everyone xD

It's the worst battery eater, ram eater. It's horrible for phone, and from browser (nowadays) you get same things as from app, but without all negative sides of the app.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zinux:
You're right but I didn't buy the S6 only to look at its design, call and message, I bought it for its amazing features, I'm getting a good SOT even with FB app installed and almost all social apps, anyway, saying again that everyone uses what makes him comfortable xD
[Galaxy S6 General] racingmatt1:
Except soon you won't be able to see/reply to messages from the browser (have to use messenger).
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
Yeah, horrible thing. However if you select desktop mode it still works.

Facebook and messenger are the only two apps i'll never use.

It is sufficient taking a look at reviews on playstore. Maybe 1 user on 50 is happy of those apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
Skype is big battery drainer in idlle mode too. with Viber I don't see big problems.

With Facebook app is faster to upload pictures and to check news. In my region it's come pre-installed.

Change you ROM to LP and you will forget about mystical drain. MM it very buggy at the moment but google do not try to fix it. In Q&A is thread, maybe there you will find temporary solution.
