Thank you for answer i am attaching gsam results. Please tell me what is the problem
[Galaxy S6 General] jj9922:
have you done a factory reset and wiped the cache partition ?
[Galaxy S6 General] gomek111222:
yes i did many time. battery is terrible. in one hour it consums 5 percent:( it is so sad.
[Galaxy S6 General] gr4v1ty:
Disable location reporting from Google?
[Galaxy S6 General] gomek111222:
How can i do that
[Galaxy S6 General] gr4v1ty:
Google settings and in Location history I believe. Look it up on Google if not

Hi,

since OTA to 5.1.1 I'm going crazy on what is happening to my battery. This is happening ONLY at work and before update, I haven't had that issue. Here's the GSAM screenshot:

The thing is.. when I am at home.. the stuff works pretty good. I'm going nuts about the issue... :(
[Galaxy S6 General] aerox11:
Hey guys

What is wrong with my phone? I have only a SOT of 2 hours?!?! That is not acceptable

I came from z3 and i wish i could have at least 4 hours.....

can you help me to find what is wrong?

Thank you
[Galaxy S6 General] arayoflight:
Firstly, get your GSAM WiFi right. Follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61533329&postcount=2132

First few cycles have a crazy drain. It will settle down and get better over multiple recharges. Use WiFi as much as possible and mobile data less.

Some people also suggested that using a slow charger helps. Though it didn't help on mine. It won't hurt to try it out though. Also, you can turn off Google location reporting, always on WiFi scanning( this should be turned off on every phone) and some of the bloat.

If nothing helps, do a cache wipe from recovery.

I'm using this phone from 10th April and the worst SoT I've ever gotten is 5 hour 20 min. The battery life is good. It just needs a little tweaking and monitoring. Hope this helped.
[Galaxy S6 General] aerox11:
SOT of 5 hours wouzld be insance actually....

I used package disabler and removed many other apps.

Google location and Wifi scanning is already off

i will do the GSAM WiFi now.

Nooby question but how do i cache wipe from recovery? :P
[Galaxy S6 General] ra9b:
Turn your phone off. Then, hold the power, home and volume up buttons till you get to a black screen with red text. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the option of "wipe cache partition." and then press the power button. Then, select the reboot now option, and you should be set.
[Galaxy S6 General] aerox11:
Thanks!

All data will be erased i guess right? I will have a very clean samsung s6 then?
[Galaxy S6 General] ra9b:
No this is only for the cache partition. People do this sometimes to improve battery and performance. If you want to factory reset your galaxy s6, then there's an option of doing that from your settings. Go to "backup and reset" and chose 'factory data reset." Make sure to make a backup of photos/texts/videos/music/etc because that will all be gone.
[Galaxy S6 General] aerox11:
Do you not think in my case a full factory reset is the best option? Sothat i have a clean phone again.

I have just some pictures not much can safe them immediately
[Galaxy S6 General] ra9b:
I just edited the post you quoted, so reread it. It's worth a shot! If you're Tech savvy, I would suggest you Odin back to stock. They have many guides all over the Internet about how to Odin back to stock for any Samsung device. Just be sure you chose the right file. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM is always a good idea, but you will have to be careful and read before you do anything. People who flash a ROM called "XtreStoLight" get great battery life, but it's not available for every version of the s6.
[Galaxy S6 General] aerox11:
unfortunately i am not a tech pro so i did the cache wipe and will see how it goes. When it doesnt going to be better i will do factory reset.

What if this methods dont lead to an increase in battery life? Send back the smartphone to samsung? Or what else can i do?
[Galaxy S6 General] ammadb:
I am really sick of my battery life. my phone drains even on standby. over night it consumes 6-8% without wifi or 3g and all multitasking apps closed. with wifi it consumes 25%

any help? atleast to save battery in standby?
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
if you are rooted use wakelok detetor (the urrent beta) else do a fatory reset

[Galaxy S6 General] greglord:

[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
Want to save battery? Very simple:

- Turn off your phone when you're sleeping. If you use it as an alarm or need to be contactable 24/7, turn off Wi-Fi and Mobile Data.

- Clear all background running apps.

- Use Greenify. Google it if you don't know what it is.

- Set screen brightness level to minimum. If you off the lights when you sleep the screen should be bright enough to be seen in the dark.
[Galaxy S6 General] ammadb:
Everything done. Still i get almost 7 8% fall over night
[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
Are you rooted? You can do more things if you're rooted.
[Galaxy S6 General] ammadb:
Yes i am
[Galaxy S6 General] dt33:
S6 standby time can be great too. Mine S6 standby time is 1%/7H, when the phone goes into deep sleep. Non root, all stock with TW and no tweaks.

Same here. I've even used Root Browser to remove even more apps in my rom (XTreSo 2.0) in an attempt to fix it. No real battery eating wakelocks, no apps running. Just drain.
[Galaxy S6 General] popthosegaskets:
I am also getting about 1% battery drop over 5-6hrs on my S6 on standby with Wi-Fi/Data off. Everything stock TW, nothing modded, no root. In fact, my old China brand phone could stay at 100% for 8 hours straight without consuming battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
I lost 4% over 9 hours idle last night.

Wifi etc still turned on.

Stock 5.0.2 rooted with pingpong and most samsung crap deleted.

Not using greenify or anything like that.

Not too shabby.
[Galaxy S6 General] neflictus:
Man, i don't understand this. I get 6 hours of SOT every 24 hours. I do not understand how people here get 2 or 3h of SOT.

Disable Google now, samsung push, gps, bluetooth when you are not using them. I use tasker to sync every 6h a day.

From LG H815
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
No wakelocks? Your device is awake for 2 hrs in 7hrs total. That is way too much in my opinion. Usually my s6 is awake for 30 min in 12 hrs.
[Galaxy S6 General] Fille84:
Samsung Push? And that is? And how do i disable that?
[Galaxy S6 General] usmanqadeer:
de bloating needs s6 to be rooted.and with latest OS update rooting is not possible.

Battery drains fasts even after disabling google+ and other software.

It's possible, just not without tripping knox. Some of the custom roms are rooted + debloated.

Hi , friends

In posting here and need some help and advice.

I bought note 4 a week ago and its great phone. ,

And my wife has a doubt, note 4 or s6 , how is the battery life ? Does a day with 4G on?

Leave charger in the morning until night. ?

Thanks in advance.

I would hold off rooting, if you still have 0x0 Knox counter until it becomes clear what effect it had in Samsung pay. M promisses much better control over what runs in the background the greenify dev hashas said, even without root.
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Not correct, debloater on pc and package disabler pro on play shop can both disable apps including built in ones without root
[Galaxy S6 General] :
No its correct. Read what he wrote. He said root is not possible right now and I said it is. I never talked about if debloat was possible or not.
[Galaxy S6 General] greglord:
Well I just found the reason for my battery drain at my work. After disabling all possible crapware, uninstalling apps and what not... the drain was still there.. once again, only at my workplace. Data was disabled there and only wifi enabled. Today, I've tried disabling wifi and turning mobile data on. Guess what. Drain went away o_O

How can this be? Only on specific location? Seriously? Wifi connection where router is 2 meters away from me? Seriously?
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
I have the same issue at my university. Their wifi network utilizes some crazy form of WiFi security that my causes my battery life to plummet when I'm using their wifi network. I would use mobile data but the signal is horrible up there so I just stick it out with WiFi.
[Galaxy S6 General] bighleo114312:
Me too im getting a lost of 1% every 15 min. In stand by. I was starting to think that i needed a new battery. Dont know much about this. Its the first time a have trouble with batteries.

[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
There are a few things to check, in no particular order:

- what apps are running in background? Whatsapp and others communicate continuously, so if you have many there you have the culprit;

- what do battery statistics tell about the apps that are using most battery?

- how many accounts do you have set up in your phone? Usually each account have his own sync options so removing or disabling automatic sync can improve battery a lot your battery experience

- last but not least, many people suggested to use Package Disabler Pro to disable a lot of unwanted / unnecessary apps, even system ones, *without root* and with good improvements.
[Galaxy S6 General] serd:
I have a 20 day old galaxy s6 duos. It was bough new off ebay. I was functioning properly and when on holiday I dropped it onto a tiled concrete floor from a height of 2-3 feet.

Since then the battery has been draining abnormally. I am not sure if the fall had anything to do with it or something else has happened.

I have disabled apps still no joy. Then ran the phone in safe mode with no improvement. Then did a reset using software with no improvement. Then wiped cache but still no joy.

Then wiped cache and hardware reset. Finally disabled all apps and forced stopped a few more. Put the phone in airplane mode but despite that the phone is drains 10 %per hour with the phone not being used. It is running updated 5.1.1 software

I cant understand how dropping the phone can cause the battery to malfunction or something else has happened . Any ideas or suggestions ? Or something else I should be trying.

I wish it was easy to change the battery but that is not the case . I just wanted to see if anyone else has suggestions before I go down the route of replacing the battery.

Many thanks in advance.

2 full days, 44h, 4,5 SOT, Screen auto on middle, wifi, data, messaging, browsing, youtube.. :) feels solid. XtreSoLite 2,1 with unistock kernel
[Galaxy S6 General] revolutionarysoul:
can you provide screen shots?
[Galaxy S6 General] Duzzy5:
no, because i joined xda to lie. wanted to calibrate battery and used my sammy to death, thats what i got, did not take screenshots, i charge it daily.
[Galaxy S6 General] revolutionarysoul:
I literally lol at the response. But alright, nonetheless that is amazing man.
[Galaxy S6 General] Duzzy5:
Next time will consider taking screenshots. also planning to charge to 100% before going to bed, and check drain %/h over night.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
You can laugh all you want to. He used his phone mainly as a dumb phone, but I can hear you have never been on XtreStoLite. The bloatware is whats killing the standby time of this phone. Less standby time drain equals more SOT.

I get 5-6 hours on daily basis on mobile data and 6-8 hours on Wifi. If I use my phone as a dumb phone lowest brightness with pixel filter (for black pixels... Amoled you know) 10 hours is definitely doable. I also disabled some services in Google Play Services, as the reason it drain so much on mobile data is because it's constantly getting your location, which I deactivated + a few more tweaks.

Today I got 4.5 hours on almost full brightness all day (was out in the sun) with mobile data.

Yesterday i flashed unikernel v4 0002 and did factory reset. Now i feel battery is normal. Well think is normal because since i bought it had this issue. I disconnected my s6 at 11pm yesterday and it has been 24hrs and still have 40% of battery. Just lost 5% in 9hrs in deep sleep.

Battery.

Hi.

I am using XtreStoLite Deod mod v2.1.

If i am literately using my phone every second battery last me from 06:00am to 18:00pm.

If I am more conservative lets say not playing games all the time from 06:00am to 23:00pm.

And then if i only whatsapp then last me 2 days, 41 hours to be presise before i need to charge.

O and i have no battery drain if i leave it overnight without charging.

Using greenify and wakelock detector.
[Galaxy S6 General] Duzzy5:
Charged to 100 and left over night with wifi/data/location off, also second screen shot after day at work, with very minimal use. Tonight will let it stand-by with wifi/location/data on again from 100%
[Galaxy S6 General] marios_ch:
3 hours screen time at 49%, really good.
[Galaxy S6 General] jetbruceli:
The Battery on this phone changes depending on more than just what your using. I dont think Samsung cares about the power user versus the typical social user. Honestly though, if they dont give the Note 5 a removable battery, I am selling the s6 for the note 4.

My battery on the s6 sometimes is done by Noon. With 2 hours screen time. If they had the older version of Power save mode I would use it but they also screwed that up too.

Hi everyone

Yesterday I installed UniKernel + Xtrestolite deodexed on my G920F after hearing the combination give great battery life as well as performance. I read somewhere that another user, using the same combination, left his phone over night and dropped by only 1%. I, however, tried this, and dropped 12% when I woke up 8 hours later.

I have created an imgur album (http://imgur.com/a/fBz0a) with screenshots of certain battery apps. These are mostly pointing to Google as the suspects. I don't know how I'd deal with that as I'm not sure that I'd like to sacrifice the app's functionality.

Also I have the logs or whatever from BetterBatteryStats, if you think they'd give more info then let me know and I can upload them.

Thanks!

What will this do? Will I lose any functionality of the app?
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:
Is there a way to monitor what app is causing battery drain. It only started 3-4 days back and i am guessing its cause of an app update. All it says is Android system and today when i checked after 7 hours since fully charged something has caused more than 4 hours of wakelock. All it said was Android System and my location notification is always on when it didn't use to before.

anyone have an idea about these top 2 wake locks?
[Galaxy S6 General] andreip90:
I'm beginning to get used with 3h screen on time with daily charging.. I've tried xtresolite , different kernels, location off but in the end there aren't big difference. The biggest difference that I am using the best smartphone making it the best smartphone like '13 . So I'll charge half 30 mins in the middle of the day to be sure that I am not running out of battery and that's all. And the best advice : avoid watching every time screen time. Be happy with your s6 because it's great excepting the battery (my last phone was an iPhone 6,and it's better overall). It doesn't exist the perfect smartphone.

Exactly! I use a 1amp charger and right now I have 2hr58min SOT with 48% left.
[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
I really have no effing clue what happened.

I got a repacement, which was still on 5.0.2 so I thought this time I'll root it and see if I get a better battery life.

Just 2 days ago I was getting 7h of total runtime and 2-3h of SOT even though greenify was installed etc. I was having terrible standby time.

And then yesterday suddenly I was surprised that my battery percentage just wasn't going down. I thought the phone was indicating a wrong number and my phone would just die at 25%. But it didn't, kept on going.

Right now I've got an hour SOT and running since 2h20 min and I'm still at 88%

Whatever happened, I hope it stays this way....

I just hate how I have to worry some rogue app will eat battery while my phone should be idle.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommyhj:
I used to have google play services eat 15-20 % of my battery. Re-installing helped.

I uninstalled google play services updates and waited for the prompt to update it again (had to disable device administrator in lockscreen and security settings). After it updated play services again, and rebooted, play services is gone from the battery stats and I enjoy reasonable ost and standby.

how i check if i have a faulty phone (battery terrible)?, because me and my cousin bought same S6 , but he has 64 Gb and me 32 Gb , but his S6 battery stays longer ,

we had same 71% battery but his S6 estimated usage time remaining is much hours than mine (also Power saving mode & Ultra power saving mode) and today i was using only chrome in phone and was 4% drop in 10 mins of one tab open in chrome and nothing in background.

edit : so 14m 34s and 5% off from battery,

is this normal guys ? :confused:

[Galaxy S6 General] skridovaste:
People who get crazy 4/5/6 hour battery life, do you use lowest brightness? Today I got 3.5 hours SOT with 50% auto-brightness. Running Xtrestolite with Unikernel v6. I am really struggling to see why my battery life is so bad in comparison to everyone else.
[Galaxy S6 General] andreip90:
No, that's the actual battery life of the phone.. I got it also like that and maximum 4h if 2 hours of them are with low brightness. I don't care anymore about the screen time. When it's under 30% , I charge it .

If you use it like a normal smartphone, 3h -3h30min screen time with decent brightness in a day . I prefer to enjoy the amazing screen and camera , rather than doing all day saving battery tips.

Stop looking at kernel wakelocks. You can't do anything to them.

Just because you can't get above that with normal usage doesn't mean others can't. I have always used my phone the same way and I get around 4-6 hours SOT on mobile data.

Auto brightness on lowest, mobile data on, gps on, Bluetooth on connected to Smartwatch and Opera mini for browsing. Works flawlessly. My phone is at 78% after a day of use. The standby time is great on this phone, just not stock.

Greenify, disable service, check my battery guide. Some bugs on the phone drain the battery, black theme and stop using battery killer apps like Facebook and use tinfoil instead.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
78% after a day of use with 4g on all day

Sorry but i don't believe that.

When do you leave charger and what you call a day use?

Sent from my SM-N910F
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I said mobile data, not 4g. I mainly use 3g/3g+ because the coverage for 4g in my area is **** and no need to have 1/5 bars in strength all the time.

I leave my charger around 8am and I day use is the phone being in my pocket besides when answering a call, listening to music or receiving a message.

But really, it doesn't matter if you believe it. I still have the same battery stats whether you believe it or not.

There are people achieving 10 hours SOT, there is also someone a few pages back in this thread that unplugged at 8am and had 92% left at 16pm with like 25 minutes sot. Just because you use your phone with Snapchat, Spotify, Facebook and Messenger on full brightness with everything running syncing in the background doesn't mean everyone else do the same.

I have less than 1% of wakelocks. My phone is in deep-sleep 99%+ of the time and I receive most notifications through my smartwatch, so no need to turn the screen on.

Yes, stock rom sucks. XtreStoLite + Greenify + Disable Service + Black Theme + Black keyboard + Black background + black icons + Black browser, with white text + Pixel filter (to save your eyes anyways in low light conditions, as the screen is too bright). turn off a few bugs in a few features when drain your battery even when not used, **** auto brightness, keep it as low as possible. Auto brightness is way too bright for my taste anyways. Get tasker, to turn GPS on/off when needed, not needed, get tasker to sync every x hour, turn Wifi off when not in use (tasker again), set GPS on GPS only so Google Services can't drain your battery like mad (It only drain 0.2% of my battery now).

If people can achieve 5 hours sot on stock, you can almost double that if doing the above.

install wakelock detector and see what's keeping your phone awake. There is a new version which allows you to install it as a system app, it might work and you seem to be rooted. I haven't tested it though.

I do. I really get no extra drain from it. In fact in nearly 12 hours the Google app has used only 1% of my battery and that's because I was using voice commands earlier this morning.
[Galaxy S6 General] andreip90:
Please read more carefully what I said. I said that It doesn't make sense to use your phone with low brightness and use it just in a economic way. I use it in the way is it is designed to be used. If you are happy with you're phone like that , that's great. You can get 6h screen time with many stuffs disabled and low brightness. Good to you ..bad for me .
