Of course and actually I think it charges somehow faster with the option unticked! As if you preferred the slow charging! By the way, does the Vodafone UK one have lots of bloatware? Does anyone know?
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
No problems with fast charge here. Did you make the wipes after MM?
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
For me all normal.. try a wipe cache
[Galaxy S6 General] msohail_7:
Its normal and dont face any issues. Im on XEF 6.0.1 Dual sim varient.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Iy seems i manage to fix the standby and with the wifi always on.

Disable the smart manager , and reboot after and it will disappear from main menu.

But improve a lot as you can see.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Here it the main menu

No app manager.
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
Did you disabled it at 1900? What is your standby drain per hour?
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Cavaga I did your same thing and tomorrow i will give you my feedback.

Space X kernel installed yesterday afternoon.. first cycle, i also have xposed with greenify and amplify installed. It was a lot of time that i didn't use Xposed.

For now it saves a lot of battery.

Before yesterday i reached 3.40 hours of SOT so pretty happy!
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Sorry i arrived now at 2% ahah
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
But you are rooted , you must have better sot.

Or doesn't worth to root the phone.

Try stock M XEF.

4h with only wifi i think is not much.

At least 5h.

I want to get today 6h.

Its the only day im at home.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
4h right now.
[Galaxy S6 General] AB__CD:
Does this work on non-rooted Lollipop (as in does it save battery)?
[Galaxy S6 General] toto_vanir:
How did you disabled it? Package disabler?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Yes i forgot to mention that. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Here my best.

Web Facebook and videos on web.

With 10 15 % brightness.
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
This means smart manager is the culprit for high standby drain. I will test this and encourage others to also test this interesting find.
[Galaxy S6 General] Phascinate:
Well... I love this phone a lot. Display is like nothing I've ever seen before! Just one problem. It gets HOT! My HTC One M8 never got this hot. The heat seems to gather around the camera and power button area (literally that whole side gets burning hot). As a result, the battery tanks. Getting 3.5 hrs max screen on time with horrible screen off time. About 3-5% drainage per hour screen off. I've checked battery stats. Nothing looks overly odd (aside from cell standby).

And get this: I'm not doing anything intensive whatsoever. Just browsing Reddit. Location is off, I'm on WiFi, and I'm not playing any games.

It's like owning a burning hot Nexus 4 again. Especially with the glass back.

EDIT: Battery life is now great! Must have been first day battery stats blues. Still gets a bit hot though.
[Galaxy S6 General] akong702:
Yeah, I agree, screening on auto, and just browsing reddit, drained 7% in 10 minutes... I thinks something is wrong with my fingerprint scanner, I put my finger on top and won't unlock, I have to click then it will work. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
Is that not how the fingerprint scanner is suppose to work? Mine is operating the same way. If my screen is off and place my finger on the home button, it does nothing. I have to power the screen on using either the power button or the home button in order to get it to register and unlock.

-Matt
[Galaxy S6 General] akong702:
Nope, before I updated and installed all my apps, just a light touch would work. Now I have to click and then the scanner would work. This is my battery so far, after having a full charge.
[Galaxy S6 General] PlatinumNick:
Screen on time?
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
About 1 hour 50 minutes.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lockeskidney:
That explains it!!!!

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
Hmm, so I noticed that my led flash on the back is always very dimly lit even when I'm not using it. I can see some very slight light from it if I'm in a very dark place. Anyone else has this?
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Has no one ever owned a android phone before lol. Not saying its going to be better..but ever single android phone I've owned takes a week or so to settle in. Just saying...
[Galaxy S6 General] robertkoa:
Well you know heat is a good indication of wasted energy.

Since you can' t remove the Battery - what is the equivalent of a hard reboot NOT a factory reset ?

Do that.

Check to see what running Apps are on.

Sync is off, location is off..no rogue Apps checking in continually ?

That light is an odd thing- some Reviewers

said Camera is always running in background- probably not true but check that...

My Alpha was warm today, never does that usually cool so I pulled Battery for 3 minutes- cool again ...

What's the equivalent of that when you have fixed battery ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
I did my best, but honestly I'm just not a heavy user. Hell I might not even qualify as a medium user lol. Some stats for the following pics:

Off the charger at 5:39am this morning.

Completely on Tmobile network with pretty good coverage, no Wifi.

Brightness set to auto.

1 email account set to push.

Location on, set to GPS only

Edit: Woah, sorry for the huge pics. Dunno how to resize :(.
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
Nearly 3.5 hours of SoT and you're still at 42%?

See, this is what I really wanted to see out of this device.

This really has me curious about that "cell standby" bug people are having, as that seems to be the only real battery murderer on the device at the moment.
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
Yea, but again you gotta consider some things:

1) People who stream like 1 or 2 hours of video (wifi or not) likely won't get this kind of battery life. I spent probably 15 mins max on Youtube today.

2) My Tmobile service was great all day. In fact, when I was in a hospital today for an open house, I did a speed test and pulled 28megs down and 10 megs up. That says a lot about my coverage given all the electrical interference you'd normally get in a place such as a hospital.

3) I took a total of 3 pictures today (on all auto settings).

4) The majority of my day consisted of about 75 text messages, 15 mins of youtube, 20 mins of phone calls, 3 photos, and browsing a bit of the web and checking the news via BBC app. That's it.

Your mileage may vary, for better or for worse.

-Matt
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
I am not sure if the BBcodes work now. Maybe just resize the image before posting.

The Google service is still sucking alot of battery. I think this will going to reduce the standby. I suppose Samsung couldn't do much on this, most of the blame for standby battery drain lies with Google. Is your location service on?
[Galaxy S6 General] lopri:
Has anyone tried Geekbench battery test? The S6/Edge rocks that test for whatever reason. Strange thing is that it actually lasts as long as the numbers indicates (usually 7+ hours) while majority of S800/S801 class phones craps out around 4 hours.

I wonder what exactly that test tries to measure/simulate.
[Galaxy S6 General] Roflwafflez:
Forgot to bullet point that. I set location services on, but only to GPS (assuming that's the lowest power setting).

-Matt
[Galaxy S6 General] arayoflight:
Geekbench battery test measures the number of computations( integer/FP) your phone does before it dies. It basically measures the efficiency of the SoC as the more efficient the SoC, higher the score. However, the time tells how much your phone can last while doing compute heavy tasks and the score tells how many computations it did. A faster SoC can have higher score despite lower time.

Hope this helped :)

[MENTION=4951767]Roflwafflez[/MENTION]

Are you using Greenify.

Whata bout whats-app ,Facebook , messenger ,, those data apps constantly running in background.
[Galaxy S6 General] ChristianBale:
Alright I've been able to fix my cell standby issue. It's caused by having WiFi on. Simply turn WiFi off and you won't have any issues with Cell Standby. Hopefully a fix is on the way.
[Galaxy S6 General] kojaraty:
Do you mean turning off wifi calling or wifi?
[Galaxy S6 General] 85Christian85:
Doze is active for me but the drain is real :D

Somebody can tell me how that's possible?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Forget the doze or optimization doesn't work on M.

I already test everything.

Even if you optimaze everything,or turn it off apps are always open and running.

But after remove smart manager.

The phone works better.

For now. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Kookaburra88:
And how did you do that?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Package disabler.

And i forget to mention the nova launcher its good on 5.1.1.

But in M you can keep touchwiz is faster and no lags.

And consumption is the same.
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
Here is my last battery life. No smart manager disabled. A little gaming, YouTube, soccer stream and browsing.
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
Confirmed at least for me, diabling smart manager removed the unexplained standby drain I was having. Tried everything else before but nothing seemed to work on MM (XEF)
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I will install XEF M

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Bro i noticed how amplify and greenify helps my battery life.

This morning i don't know how but Xposed wasn't activated.

So i reboot and then i arrived at 54 with 1.50 hours of SOT!

Disable Smart Manager helps a lot too thanks man
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Battery is not bad but i can't do that straight line you have there.

Good work.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Maybe you are right or not.

Package disabler helps to remove a lot of things in the background.

In M don't have dont have a deepsleep good , maybe need a updated and will be.

But in my note 4 i have package disabler too and in 4G or wifi deepsleep is good.

Could be a lot of things.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Really amazed with battery today in 4G make half that i did yesterday in wifi.

Its missing the good deepsleep.

I just remove package disabler just to see, and of course last 17% vanish.

Smart manager is up battery dies

Or could be a bug in M.
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
Have you tried using Wakelock detector and see what is keeping the phone awake? It should work on unrooted phones via adb commands, even if it doesn't last; in my case the app works while the cable is still connected to the PC and a few minutes after I disconnect it, enough for troubleshooting.
[Galaxy S6 General] iPap:
I did it. It seems like it's not working. Maybe it's the charger or the cable, but what a coincidence to break when I installed the XEF 6.0.1. No sign of "fast charging" on the screen either...

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

3 times!
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
I'm on the XEF firmware on a romanian network here. The battery drain with wifi on is huge and I have no idea what to do to it anymore. I factory wiped for several times, and tried to use the phone without installing any apps, by just letting it connected to the wifi, it had the same behaviour. I disabled almost all the bloatware apps through package disabler, including smart manager. I still faced a 16% battery drain over 9 hours, when I was sleeping (intentionally left wifi on). With wifi off, I get like 1% drain during 8 hours, sometimes even 0%.

Gsam shows that the phone is kept awake for like 10 minutes for every hour, but I can't seem to be able to give the statistics to wakelock detector, the phone doesn't just recognize the adb command (the pc does), and without that, wakelock detector doesn't work. Did anyone manage to get wakelock detector working in MM without root?

I was having no such problems before, on 5.1.1. I'm really getting tired of Samsung's software, after waiting for 4+ months, I'm left with this buggy OS for which it'll take forever to get updates to have its bugs fixed.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
im on XEF and I loose 2% over 8h with wifi on and all apps open in background, the problem prob lies with you and not the SW.
[Galaxy S6 General] 85Christian85:
I got the same problem with XEF. Huge drain in standby over night.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
It cannot lie with me since I wiped the phone, logged in on my google and on my samsung accounts, connected to the wifi, and then I've let it sit. It was doing the exact same thing. I might try wiping everything out again, connecting to the wifi without logging in anywhere and see if it does the same. But it's starting to get stupid at this point..

I am aware it might also be my wifi. Though, since it only started after the update and since it seems to be doing the same on other networks as well (didn't get the chance to test this extensively), I doubt that.

And it seems like there other people complaining about the same thing, so it can't just be us not knowing to use our phones :).
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Well. Since I don't have the issue and I did a dirty flash OTA without anything else just cleared cache afterwards and many others don't suffer this issue it's obvious that it's not a bug since this will affect everybody if it was true. I'm not saying you don't know how to use your phone but I'm sure this issue is only local. Ever been rooted? Many have had problems with WiFi drain when going from rooted lollipop to MM. I'm on KNOX 0x0 so I'm good.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
Nope, never rooted. 0x0 KNOX as well, that's the only reason for which I'm running the official firmware.

I'm now wiping everything and starting fresh without any Google or Samsung accounts logged in. I'll let you know of my findings. Do you have that "keep wifi on during sleep" set on "always"?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
yes. always on.

Here is a pic from my overnight sleep with Wifi on and apps open.

edit* If this does not work for you this time around either, try doing the full clear/initilizing from Smart switch. how do you flash the MM update? through Odin? try flashing lollipop XEF and then press the update button instead.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
That's very good.

You say you have everything stock with nothing disabled.

Stock clock weather and everything.?

I think could be the batteries too.

They have a life time.

Im saying this because i following the note 4 post and a few guys change the battery and last longer.

But im trying new thing, with M we can see what apps consume the battery. I will check and disable only the ones don't need and consume battery one by one.

Until it brick ??
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
That's definitely very good.

I flashed the XEF 5.1.1 (was on some Portuguese version before), then factory reset through phone settings, then I received the OTA to MM. Did a factory reset again right after the update. And all the factory resets were through the settings. This time I wiped it all through recovery, and I'm waiting for a few hours to see how it goes.

Well, the battery stats from settings say "Android OS" is the culprit. That's definitely not very helpful, since there are a lot of packages in there, many modified by Samsung. I doubt it's the battery, my phone is around 6-7 months old and the standby time, though not great, was pretty good on Lollipop. I think I was draining about 1% every 2 hours or so with all apps open and everything synced, whereas MM drains like 2% every hour at least.

Just to be clear, my problem is when the phone is connected to the wifi. Is that also your case?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
no I just don`t use a debloater app :) I disabled: weather deamon, S health and other stuff I dont use that the SW allow me to. my battery is 1year old so I put this in to consideration also, on a normal day I get approx 4.5-5h SOT.. thats more than enough for me.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

you say your drain is from "Android OS"? the Wifi power drain has it own text in the stats that say "WIFI"..I remember when this problem you are having happned to me, the problem was the debloater app I was using(prob deactivated something that it wasen`t supposed to).. if you are using a debloater you should take a look there first and then maybe activate all the apps and clear cache and see if it makes any differance.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
When i turn wifi on, Android OS keeps draining my battery. If I turn it off, it stops. It must be some package from Android OS doing stuff while it's connected to wifi. Do you have that battery optimisation thing on in settings? People keep saying that it doesn't work and causes drain.. I'm not sure if it does, apps do get notifications with it on but they come through GCM, I believe that will wake the apps even if the optimiser closes them.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Doze is 100% working for me. Getting no notification from the ones I put in heavy doze.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Android OS is a package with apps and a lot of bloatware.

And if you disable bloatware reduce Android OS.

But we need to know what we can disabled.

I already disabled one and get stuck in boot.?

Hard reset, and im on again. ?

Lets try again.

Doze close all the apps in the background if is always optimising.

If you don't open they will stay close.

And on M don't work.

If we see.in developer options we can see all the apps running in the background.

The phone works much better with optimization off.

Facebook runs good and if you don't open it won't drain.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
doze optimizes apps automaticly after 3 days(if you set it at that) if you don`t open/use them. Doze is not like the one Sammy had in lollipop where it kills the app all togther but instead let it wake shorter times instead of always awake..there is a difference. you can`t doze system apps because the system needs them active.. if you kill your apps with "always optimize" you might as well delete them from your phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
Ok, mine's doing the exact same thing without having anything installed. Since it wasn't doing it at all in Lollipop and it's doing it in MM (even after full wipe), there must be something in the software causing it and there's something triggering it only for some of us when connecting to wifi. Can you provide me and [MENTION=6684540]cavags5[/MENTION] with a screenshot of what you have disabled at present? It could be really helpful.

I'm pretty sure that what you said is not Doze, that's still Samsung's tool. As far as I know, there's no control over doze and it does its thing automatically, what you are setting there is not Doze (do you have a source which proves I'm wrong?).

And there's 2 lists of apps/packages which I find stupidly confusing:

-where you see your battery stats (don't tap on "usage"), there's the app power saving. If you tap on details, you can disable or enable apps.

-if you tap on "usage", then on "more" on the top right, then "optimize battery usage", you get all the packages. All of them are set to optimize except Play Services and Samsung Push Service.

What do you have enabled/disabled on these both?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Here are my settings. It's in swedish but you probably get the point :) you can also set doze to not let the apps leave you a notification and viceversa but I do belive doze is implemented in to Sammy sw since its working for me. I've never had this stand-by times with lollipop.

Edit. Looked at the "all programs" under more and all except Play Services are ticked in.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
This is only a example one of bloatware consuming battery.

If disable it a lot it must be a difference. 2% since full charge.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
I'm pretty sure at this point that it's being caused a combination of the SW + my wifi. I was connected for over one hour today on a different wifi network, on my older Linksys which is like 13+ years old and still working fine. I had 0% drain during that time. Came home, the drain came back.

I also changed the wifi settings to keep the wifi on only when charging, but it's been connected to the wifi for over 40 minutes (I can see that on my router) and I haven't touched the phone for this whole time . I can see information being sent to and from device through my router, and I sniffed my wifi network and it indeed keeps talking to my router.

So I believe it is this combination which isn't working well. I wouldn't blame my router too much since a Galaxy S3 mini is connected on the exact same wifi and so far, it doesn't seem to be draining as much (and it has a much smaller battery to begin with). For reference, I've got a TP-Link Archer c2.

I will keep testing and let everyone know.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Well my friends, one more try.

This time i search all the apps that consume battery and with package disabler , disabled all that i trust and Google it if it safe.

And reboot a few times to see if dont stuck in boot.

Here are some of the package disabler.

Lets see . tomorrow.
[Galaxy S6 General] 85Christian85:
With WLAN off the drain is at least the half.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
my tip to you is not to use package disabler, that was the one and only thing that drained my battery, just disable the ones that the system lets you.
[Galaxy S6 General] Koostis:
I don't really understand what's going on with my S6 at the moment. The battery life is as consistent as the clouds in the sky during a windy day. A week ago I used to get around 4+ hrs SoT and 1 day+ usage. Now I hardly manage to get through the day with less than 3 hrs SoT(same stock rom, same apps). Standby time is amazing, i get 1-2% down overnight. However when using the phone, everytime I look up at the battery status, it's showing less. For example, yesterday I played zynga poker for an hour and the battery went from 96% to 31%. While typing this post I lost 5% of the battery. The screen is shown as the #1 consumer but it used 200mAh and the battery is at 30%.
[Galaxy S6 General] lorin_93:
I decided yesterday evening to go back to Lollipop. I just couldn't stand the drain while "sleeping" on wifi on MM. I believe there is no simple/obvious fix for the drainage some of us are experiencing, it must be something deeper in the software which we definitely can't mess with unless we get root. There are some choices: downgrade, change the router, change the settings on the computers which are on the network, wait for an update (at which Samsung is catastrophically bad) etc. This is for a different phone but I believe the issue might be quite similar to the one we are talking about: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/getting-rid-wlanrxwake-wakelocks-t2519294/post47279988#post47279988 .

The phone had the wifi turned on for 8 hours overnight and I saw a 5% decrease in battery (Lollipop). This is way better than the 13-15% I would see on MM during the same amount of time. I'll stay on Lollipop for now.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Yesterday night charge 100 and put airplane mode.

Runs better last time.

Remove airplane mode and its not bad.lets see the rest of the day.

Well johanbiff without package disabler the battery last way less.

I try a lot of times.

Post your sot one day with only 4G and another day with only wifi and we will see. ✌
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
Surely your phone is plugged in to charge at night? Why would you worry about 12% drain overnight?

Personally I think it's got to be the apps people use, as mine hardly drains at all in an 8 hour period with Wifi on.

I'm getting 6 hours SOT and more on MM and the phone is lasting a full day with that.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Here is last night.
