do you have bbs or wakelock detector data?

coz i'm on google play services 9.6.83 and I don't experience the same drain you do. maybe i have amplify to thank for that.

wakelock detector tells me that for 16h and 8m, android system has had 149 cpu wakelocks (is this high?) but only for 3m 17s while google services had 5 cpu wakelocks for 0.4s only

for wakeup triggers, android system had 33 wakeups while google services had 22. (is this high?)

phone was mostly asleep since I was busy most of the day and I went to sleep right after. BBS showed 24% battery loss with 46 mins SOT over the same period. mainly just browsed the net (using wifi), listened to music, watched youtube
[Galaxy S6 General] Nedrozak:
My average SOT is around 3h 30m. This is as far as it gets.
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
I can do 6hrs SOT on LP easily.

MM is a b but can still manage 5-6. Really depends on the ROM, what you have enabled, apps, etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] corb06:
Is it worht having the battery replaced now that its been 18 months since i bought the S6?

How is degradation of the battery? My phone is usually dead within 10 hours off the charger, normal use max auto brightness. Usually get about 1-2 hours screen time during those 10 hours.

Don't think that u need battery replacement. Share your battery stats in detail.

This is expected battery backup from S6. You can do few tricks like turning off sync, lower brightness, greenify could help a lot.

I don't think u need battery replacement, even bad network can drain lot of battery.

U can try different custom ROMs too. Good luck.

Right after screen he has youtube, this means that most time has been spent watching video, and everyone knows that only watching video, lets you do many SOT hours.

Without a screen of all apps used, those are useless and proves nothing.

You know why yt was second? Cuz i dont get the android os drain like everyone else :).

I watched yt in the morning for 1h and 20 mins so not all the sot was yt.

If all the sot was from yt then it should be first or at least the same percentage as screen

Anyone else get battery drops when it's low? Mine seems to get to ~15% and then can drop to about 5% suddenly, then when I plug it in it can jump from 10-20% almost instantly. I've tried letting in run fully flat then fully charge it but that doesn't seem to fix it :(

guys, who look to Diaze screen shots, you see what screen consumption only about 100 mah per hour? now check yours. when you will to this, you will do big sot too. that's mean low brightness (low power ussage).
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
If it goes down very fast at 15 to 0 you should recalibrate the battery..discharge it to 0 and when you plug it in you will se very fast 5 or 7 percent..discharge it again to 0 untill it charges 1 by 1 percent..thats how i fixed mine

And as always you know better my usage :)) :))

good day. which roms have support for synapse? i have a 920fd, running marshmallow 6.0.1 and im on tyrannus rom v28.1 (the one with synapse built in) right now with hacker kernel v15. i came from xtrestolite 3.3.1 with arterkernel 22.0 which had synapse working fine but for the life of me i can't get synapse to start working again after flashing alexisrom 7.1.1 and going back to xtrestolite. synapse keeps saying boot settings canceled even with stability check ticked off. same with alexisrom, where i had the same problem with synapse, i.e. boot settings canceled all the time

i hope i don't get dismissed for being off topic since the primary concern of this query is battery life

[Galaxy S6 General] Mada88:
This is kind of a late reply, yet I am experiencing similar problems. It's about one and a half years old. At first I would get some random 2% drops during a full charge, then, at 5% it would drop to 1%, and now, from 13% it drops to 1. Since it was recharged at least once a day, now it has over 550 recharge cycles. So, I just bought a new battery and I'll be installing it this days, hopefully without breaking anything. I was considering buying an S7 or S7 Edge battery, remove NFC and wireless charging to be able to install it, but after reading a few comments, the fact that it will be stuck a really long time at 1% while discharging and 99% while charging, made me keep it stock. The last thing I might do, revert to 5.1.1 as the battery life is way better. Maybe 7.0 will be better too, but it'll be late March next year until it is released. On my old S5, the update from 5.0 to 6.0.1 got me great battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] n3loki:
hi. im on arter kernel 22.0 right now on my 920fd. im trying to find the lowest undervolt i can achieve. my problem is even with lspeed, kernel auditor, and govtuner disabled/frozen, my cpu rarely runs at the lowest frequencies, i.e. 800 mhz for a57 and 400 for mhz for a53

right now, im testing my undervolt by making the subject frequency both the maximum and minimum frequency of my cpu. like for 800 mhz, i set 800 mhz as the maximum and minimum frequency

my question is, will this method give me accurate and conclusive results as to the stability of my undervolt? are there any defects in this method of testing stability?
[Galaxy S6 General] jr866gooner:
Something odd happened for me this morning... woke up to a dead phone!

As I do every night I placed my phone upon the wireless charger and it started charging. I make sure the little charging ripple effect shows and the screen switches off so all was good.

I awoke to my daughter crying to get up so I do as per normal to then click the home button to check the time only to find nothing is happening...

I get downstairs and power up the phone, it gets to the splash screen and shuts down immediately. I plug it in to find it was completely flat... no reason for it whatsoever! This happen to anyone else?

Settings, data usage, more, restrict background data
[Galaxy S6 General] Calnyx:
https://imgur.com/5BQ2SqI,65bj5nS#0

Followup, also forgot to say I've had wifi on the entire time. The reset definitely seems to have fixed the massive idle drain, you can see the two plateaus there where the phone wasn't in use [because I was sleeping]. Before I was losing 15-20% overnight.

I'd have gotten a little more screen on time if I hadn't rebooted the phone 5 or 6 times [for unrelated reasons, was just messing with settings and stuff]. The reboots took a couple percent each time.

I feel there could be improvements made with future updates to that 36% cell standby drain pictured. But still got decent battery life anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] KarlDag:
Thanks for the report, but hard to judge those numbers. Try doing a full charge between tests please ; 1day 17 hours is downright impossible.

Edit I'm sorry looked again and seems like you started the night full... Don't understand the "time since last charge"... I see you didn't charge through the day.
[Galaxy S6 General] paranoid2007:
This is an interesting battery test from a well known german review site:

http://www.inside-handy.de/news/35053-akku-test-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-aller-guten-dinge-sind-drei

It states that the battery was horrible until after a few recharge cycles. After that it was on par with other premium handsets.
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
Thanks, but doesn't this block all background data? Is there a way to apply some kind of filter to only allow some apps to use background data?
[Galaxy S6 General] Calnyx:
It is accurate, 1 day 17 hours since I charged it. That charge was to 100%, and I've been letting it go down as it does since. Granted 16 hours of this was my sleeping, so the phone was not being used at all during that time. And I've only got just under 5 hours SoT, which was largely web browsing and messaging, a bit of multi tasking between other apps.

I don't know why that is downright impossible.

In the data usage, if you select an app shown on that screen, there is the option to restrict it's background data only. You'd have to do it one by one though.
[Galaxy S6 General] KarlDag:
Well I said it was impossible because it's FAR from what the others reported... You did say Wi-Fi calling and location disabled that surely helped.

Did you turn Wi-Fi off completely, or just Wi-Fi calling?

Thanks a lot, very encouraging
[Galaxy S6 General] Calnyx:
Just wifi calling, wifi itself was on and connected for all but 2-3 hours of that, at most.

And like I said, my battery was much worse before the factory reset.

[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
I have a feeling they ran their tests on one of the devices and just claim it is the same result for both devices.

In reality, what are the odds two regular Galaxy S6's receive the exact same results in a battery run down test let alone an S6 and S6 Edge which have differing battery capacities.

It just seems a little fishy to me and frankly lazy on their part.
[Galaxy S6 General] KarlDag:
Your feeling >> their word and reputation, of course, so let's call them lazy.
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
Just because you have a reputation doesn't mean you don't get lazy.

The review posted by GSMArena for the Galaxy S6 was arguably one of their worst reviews ever. I appreciate the reviews they do write and value what they have to say but I wasn't alone in thinking that their review for the Galaxy S6 was lacking in more than a few areas.

If one of the three tests they preformed produced an identical result, I would call it a coincidence, but three tests giving three identical results on two devices which have a few differences including a difference in battery capacity is fishy no matter which way you put it.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Power consumption, courtesy notebookcheck.net
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
These are not my results but a couple users on reddit posted their battery stats and they show fairly good battery longevity with the S6.

And one more.
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
It definitely seems like the battery life gets better after a few cycles, like most other phones do when they're brand new. Obviously not new info in any way, but just something to keep in mind when massive amounts of day 1 battery life posts pop up on/after the 10th.

Ampere draw

Can someone install Ampere and let me know what the current draw during idle screen on is and recharge current rate. For comparision, my Nexus 5 draws 190-230 mA with the screen on and charges at 450-510 mA. I suspect the charge will be higher, though I am curious what the current draw is with the screen on.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 General] n3loki:
hi. I wanna share with you guys my undervolted frequencies using arterkernel 22.0. after 2 days of usage, so far everything seems stable, i.e. no freezes or random reboots. this is as low as I could get it without errors, but adjusted by two clicks up for regular clock speeds and three to four clicks for higher speeds and overclock speeds for stability. since I don't have demanding apps/games, if you guys get errors then just adjust the frequencies by one or two clicks. you can use this as a baseline. I tested this with multitasking, deep sleep then wake up, benchmarks (geekbench) and the stabilitytest app (which only works for a53 cores)

(decimal numbers omitted in my notes, nevertheless, you get the frequency referred to)

I get about 3 hours which is about what I got with my lg g4. However I got 6-7 hours sot with my moto x 2014 which I thought was amazing.

I bought the s6 used a year and half old though and it's possible the battery hasn't held up as well as my moto x did.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:

[Galaxy S6 General] Williknot:
I need tô increase my battery life too...
[Galaxy S6 General] wyldkat:
Later tonight I will, since today the same happened.

Yours is average, I wouldn't mind :)

EDIT: Today

The battery is new (was replaced under warranty), but this was also happening with the previous one. I also changed to TPH rom and hard reset... everything sticks the same... I used to get around 3h30 / 4h SOT with the same setup.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
It's for everyone who is using S6.

If people are getting 3 hrs of sot with normal usage it's good, 2500mah battery doesn't give any more than that.

I know some people may get around 4hrs of sot, but you have to do lot of tricks for that.

It depends on many factors, 1st one is ur mobile network, if your network is poor then whatever you do, you will never get good backup.

Don't keep wifi on all the time when your not using it.

Use power saving mode, it saves lot of power.

Install greenify and amplify if rooted, will make huge difference.

Don't install rubbish apps from playstore.

And final, if you really wanted good batter backup you made mistake buying S6.

Don't want to upset but it's the reality.

Enjoy power of S6 awesome camera and other features. Why care how much sot ur getting? Just keep fast charger with you, whenever ur low just give 15 mins of charge and ur good to go.

Enjoy everyone.
[Galaxy S6 General] 350Rocket:
My old Moto x 2014 has a 2300mah battery and regularly gets me 5.5-6 hours screen on time in a 20 hour cycle. 7 hours was my record when I used it a whole bunch one night.

The s6 gets 3 hours give or take with the same usage. I'm guessing the 801 processor and 1080p screen on the Moto x must be a lot more efficient.

Either way I get through the day with the s6, because I'm not a heavy user. Most of my use is in the evening when I'm home.

I prefer not to run the battery too low on this one though because it's going to be a lot harder to replace if it craps out. I had the Moto x apart to replace the LCD and the battery is pretty easy to get at.

Also I won't use fast charge. It may be convenient, but likely at the cost of your batteries life expectancy.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Yes, this S6 processor is kinda power hungry and that awesome 2k screen hogs lot of battery too.

I am using note 5 and its been more than year I am using fast charge and I don't notice that it affected the battery. I have used previous devices with fast charge and with 2+ years of usage i didn't notice any problems. And if we need to replace the battery after 2n half + years I guess it's worth. But most people don't use same device more than 2-3 years.

I'm planning to replace my S6 battery with a new one hoping that will get a better battery life. My phone is about a year and 8 months old. Does anyone have experience with better battery life after replacing a new one? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Usually battery dont wear out that soon, their performance will reduce by 20-40% depends how you have used.

Can you tell us how much sot youre getting? If you are getting more than or around 3hrs of sot and 8+ hrs of backup then your battery is fine. Good luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] 350Rocket:
Mine is a year and a half old and I got it a couple months ago. I don't know what the battery life was like when it was newer but it's getting over 3 hours sot, so I guess it's still okay.
[Galaxy S6 General] crixley:
Reading this thread makes me realize how lucky I am. I get 5 hours + SOT every time.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
That's pretty much the case with my S6. It ain't luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] 350Rocket:
I've been able to get over 5 hours once but it was when I used it as a speedometer for a 2 hour round trip in my car (instead of using my old phone for that). Black background and app is really easy on battery.

[Galaxy S6 General] hare89:
I am usually around 2.30 - 3 hrs of SoT and still dobt get it how somebody gets 5hrs...

My biggest problem is my cell reception is preety low at job so it drains battery very fast...
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Cell network is always the main culprit. On my note 5 I get average 4 hrs of sot. I play clash of clans all the times. But I've got sot of 7 hrs too few times when I played very little games and mostly videos. We need 4000 mah batteries nowdays for great backup.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
So guys if your battery is bad you can buy a s7 one.

For 20 euros i buy the 3000 mAh battery of the s7 and smaller than S6 ones.

The difficult part is put the battery into the s6 i took one hour to make this change but with a Youtube video is a lot easier.

It's not so difficult but you have to have patience and a lot of attention to do it.

So when you put the s7/s7 edge (S7 EDGE FITS PERFECTLY IN OUR S6) battery in S6 you have to turn off the phone charge it until 100% then reboot it and in dialer write *#0228# and click on QUICK START.

DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE UNTIL HE RESTART THE DISPLAY.

Then you can use your phone normally.

DO THIS PROCEDURE FOR ALMOST 3 TIMES. SO USE YOUR PHONE FROM 100% TO 0% AND THEN CHARGE THE PHONE (TUNED OFF) REBOOT IT AND IN DIALER WRITE *#0228# AND THEN CLICK ON QUICK START.

Battery will last the same as 2550 mAh for two days then it will increase..

Don't be afraid if the fisrt two days battery stay one hour on 1% ahah it's normal.

I did from 100% to 2% 4.41 hours with all stock, with 4g/3g and wifi.. for one hour used whatsapp in 4g sending/ downloading photos and videos, a lot of music and Youtube and it lasted for almost 16 hours.

If want to save money do this and you won't change the phone for others two years maybe..

Feel free to ask everythig.
