is there any way to make the screen more power-efficient or consume less battery? aside from running on the lowest functional brightness level (coz i'm on manual, and i have it around 10-40%)

pixel battery saver is not an option for me since it makes the device run less smooth. im already running on a lower resolution and lower dpi despite the lack of noticeable difference in my daily use. for the purpose of this question, let us just assume that all other factors like wifi, mobile data, background processes, wakelocks, deep sleep, black wallpaper and dark theme, and awake (screen off) are non-factors

with my use, i.e. moderate net browsing, moderate youtube, and light gaming, i can't seem to go beyond 4h SOT, although i got my deep sleep and/or doze working extremely well together with amplify, greenify, undervolting, and a couple more tweaks

i'm on tyrannus rom with arter kernel btw
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Just wait for n7 port. You can change the screen resolution to fhd or just hd. That will save some power

[MENTION=3862066]ultim[/MENTION] so where are your "screenshots" ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Mada88:
I like the camera too, I'm just worried about those 2% drops, It happens up to 5 times during a full charge, the symptoms are : I unlock the phone, I see 90% in the upper corner, and just a few seconds later it becomes 88%. So I'm loosing up to 10% without a reason. I'm wondering if this is a sign that the battery it's aging.
[Galaxy S6 General] ultim:
I've got a vinyl sticker on the back for better grip. About a mm thick
[Galaxy S6 General] Mada88:
I'm considering buying an S7 Edge Battery, remove the NFC and wireless charging for a perfect fit, and enjoy greater battery life, 3600mAh. The problem is I haven't found a good supplier close to me, yet. Only the S7 battery is available at the moment, 3000mAh.
[Galaxy S6 General] Darktitor:
Look on Ebay ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
I'm talking about battery stats screenshots to see the difference after you changed the battery lol. But the device looks beautiful.
[Galaxy S6 General] n3loki:
does changing the resolution really have any effect on battery life? because there were days where I was on 1080p and one day on 720p and there was no difference in battery life. the lower resolution helped gaming performance but aside from that, nothing else

I read somewhere that even in lower resolutions, our phones still power the same amount of pixels, which is why lower resolutions won't help

and all the other tweaks introduced in the n7 power saving mode are already achievable through some apps and some tweaking. i'm already underclocked and undervolted, with limited and controlled brightness, exclusively on wifi and rarely on mobile data, with nfc and other sensors off

btw, i tried pixel battery saver again on 1080p, and the higher the mesh, the smoother the scrolling. so scrolling lags only on the lowest mesh (22%, i think). but it made my battery life worse (from 17%/hr to 20%/hr, based on BBS; test was done by keeping screen on the entire time; and I was on 44% mesh)
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Well..i think it saves battery..that s why they implemented it. This weekend the n7 port will be released and i m gonna test it
[Galaxy S6 General] kokope28:
I finally managed to get over 5 SOT with lowering the screen resolution to FHD (with both WiFi and 4G using during the day). Other than that, I use Greenify + Amplify + L Speed. (I have a perfect deep sleep over night) Running XtreStoLite v3.3 + stock kernel.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Wow
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
I got my new s6 before 1 day and i get only 3 h of SoT so bad huh. Maybe i will need to flash the xtresolite rom or what to do guys.
[Galaxy S6 General] INinja_Grinding:
Does anyone know how much battery life on the phone s6, how much battery charge time?The battery is too small for this phone....I want to replace the battery with a new .... that will, of course, destroy the guarantee ....
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
After mm update, battery life of s6 is improved. It takes around 1 hr 10 min to charge phone. And you could get around 4 hrs sot. With rooting phone, installing custom rom with debloat you could expect 5hrs of sot.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
Why google play service take so much battery ?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
prove it. because, I don;t saw difference custom vs stock.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
I sold my s6, and bought note 5 few months ago, so I can't prove. My friend has s6 and after mm update he is happy. I said custom rom because they usually debloat it that's why you get better battery backup but it's not necessary. I use note 5 with official rom without debloat and i am satisfied.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Dont bother..he wont belive anything :))

Only hes usage is legit :))))
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
hi liar, how are you? :D
[Galaxy S6 General] zydthegiant:
WITH STOCK ROM STOCK KERNEL ..WITHOUT ROOT ...I GET 5 HOURS SOT OR UP :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Im gonna post some battery results on 3g only. Get ready ::))

I bet you will get some amazing explanations on how i cheataed my sot cuz i get better battery than ur **** optimied phone.

you are wrong again, a couple weeks ago i stopped interest your posts, comment, so you can post what ur want, I don't care

I caught you one time and thats enough to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
You caught me hahhaha that s some big words...keep beliveing what you want...you already demonstraded me how little you know about ur phone and phones in general.

You keep calling everyone who s getting a better sot than you a liar :))))

Everyone uses the phone in different ways..and everyone is free to post...so please stop embarassing yourself :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Well i am going to be harsh here, s6 has average battery backup. If people wants good battery backup then buy phone like s7 edge, no one has cheated you, what you see is what you get.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Maybe it will get a little bit better with the n7 port by bulldog...

It has the feature to change the screen resolution from qhd to fhd or just hd.

I really want to test that thing.

Also we are lucky we got fast charging..so the average battery life is np
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
where are I say to other user what he liar? Today, i asked to prove, what custom rom better than stock in battery life.

And I know enough, do not watch only you graphs but see all information what gives MM.

I can do without problems 5H sot, like you at "some conditions", with stock MM, so what a problem? Are you feeling hurt ? don't cry :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
You just proved my point :))

Now you say 5h is easy and in ur older post u saod that s achievable in some conditions .
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
yes, easy achievable in some conditions, whats wrong? Go outside at day time, do 2-3h phone calls and when try to do 5h SOT. Phone is for phone calls but not for watching black background :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Like this ?:)))

4h sot at 20...so i can say 5h sot at 1 percent

And this is 3g only

Imagine only wifi ^^

But you wont belive this one too hahaha

Now you gonna say that i dont speak enought on my phone :)))))) hah

How much must be normal sot on s6 4 h ?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
indoor yes, outdoor, if sunny day and you on automatic brightness when ~3h. and depends how much call you did, because phone calls use a lot battery
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Mm with powersaving is still faster than the s hit optimized lp

Laggy and no multitasking.

I use power saving only when i have a very busy day

Anyhow i stopped giving you explanations cuz ur brain dead .

could you make SOT test in ultra power saving mode and show us super batter live, BUT don't forget turn off it before screen shot :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
How can you compare lp to mm in terms of performance and muktitasking hahahahahah

Thanks a lot dude:)) it s like when you play videogames and they call you cheater bcuz ur good..but u know u didnt cheat

Feels very good my friend.

As i said..lp is marshmallow with powersaving mode on.

Even with power saving mode on mm has better ram management :)))

Bbye my friend ::::))))
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
I showed you video, forgot?

How you can talk about LP performance, if you bought phone with LP (if I remember good). What ram management? prove it!

Dude, you showed yesterday, what you cheating :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Man..everyone know that lp is **** in performance and ram manangement.

And how do i cheat?:)))) cuz i used power saving mode?:)))

Or maybe u dont know what cheat means..idk

When you will get 5h sot on 3g call me :)))) lp is **** optimized

And when you will achieve this in lp during night :))))))

Definetly my phone is way more optimized than yours

Now call me cheater again cuz i dont used my phone enought during sleep

Hahaha:))))))
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:

I use dpca rom xtresolite
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
Is it battery friendly and what bugs have ?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
this version 0-1% per 8 hours with everything off (except GSM). Install wakelock detector, charge to 100% and leave phone overnight. In morning check, what wake your phone. Maybe email synchronization or etc wake your phone every 10 minutes or something else.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
I need root to install wakelock detector i dont have.

no, no root, only adb command or chrome extension

[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
I hope the problem can be solve by me because i have like 2-3 day and afther i cant return phone if its somw big problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
marshallow have many drains, like google backup drain, bcm module drain and etc. If you return phone, service re-flash firmware and return you back. SO, you need to find out, what drain (do not let) sleep a phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
You mean if i return phone and buy new one can be the same i just need to find what cause ghe drain ?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
99% yes, because its operating system drain. And same drains you can find not only on s6 but on nexus, lg and other devices.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
Can i try with factory reset .?
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
you asked, I said what to do.......... but you want to do different. Yes you can, but why?
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:
Hey can i change my frimware i mean i'm now on Germany (Vodafon) but i live in Bulgaria and my mobile is on telenor carrier.
[Galaxy S6 General] jr866gooner:
Download smart swith on pc. Plug in phone and perform an emergency wipe and start afresh. Helped me out.

Just back up data first as that will go!

My husband and I both have S6 Actives. I can't speak for his battery life, but mine seems to be pretty good. I'll usually start the day fully charged, use my phone a lot at work to text my boss info and other things over a 12 hour period, and come home with it about 60-65% charged. Oh, and I'm currently running stock marshmallow, no root.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mercz23:

5h ..sot

Diaze, Diaze, you can't stop post bull**** :D Data only......but in battery saving :D

My old post #4498 5:3 SOT, 11% left, if I remember good, ~3G 50%, wifi~ 50%, NO POWER SAVING, 48H up time, outside usage and etc........ stock, no root.

For S6 at the moment best battery friendly android version is 5.1.1!!!!! aleluja
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
well if you can stand the lag of lollipop and **** ram management good for you :)))

i didnt buy the s6 to use with lollipop and get the experience of an s3 lol

the battery last longer on lollipop cuz it kills the app in baground very fast:)) cuz it doesnt have any ram management

also it s very slugish while scrolling on fb or any website not compared to mm.

as i said lollipop is marshmallow with power saving mode on :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Hey that's my line :D

I came to that theory coz most of the time I get the same sot as lollipop in Marshmallow with power saving on, but the scrolling in MM with power saving on is still more acceptable than lollipop no ps!

[Galaxy S6 General] n3loki:
If we let the rom stand on its own, I'd have to say tyrannusrom, because of the included hacker kernel which has a lot of customizable features via synapse, which is also pre-included.

However, without tweaking hacker kernel, xtrestolite 3.3.1 > tyrannusrom

What in god's name is wrong with Google Play Services 9.6? It is just cratering my battery life on my S6! Reverting to stock and updating to 9.4 only works for a while as 9.6 gets auto pushed and then Android OS usage goes through the roof. It appears that the system is never allowed to doze. In 8 hours overnight of no usage, I get ~26% battery loss with Google Play Services 9.6! Under the previous version 9.4 would normally be in the ~7% range. Something is clearly broken with the latest Play Services update that keeps the phone wide awake.
