Yes note 4 is very good battery.

Im at home all day almost 50% 4h sot.

S6 not even close to that.

Even if i do 8h sot with the note in one day my eyes will explode.

Don't need to charge the note 4.
[Galaxy S6 General] archzz:
I am wondering is it ok if Android OS is keeping phone awake for like 1,5hrs over a period of 12hrs or so? Thats what i'm getting on every day on average since MM update.
[Galaxy S6 General] ProtoDeVNan0:
Well. I did a full ODIN reflash + battery reset. Now it magically lasts for nearly whole day. Also for now I have stock kernel. It seems really fast and responsive + battery life is sweeeet for now :)
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
Note 4 has 27% bigger battery, bigger screen...... But about 50% better battery lifetime, strange. S6 hardware use more power?

Guy's try to disable backup in settings, look like this stop battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 General] Edge330:
I dont know how, I dont play games, I use phone normally, whatsapp, facebook, phine calls, camera, chrome, sudoku.

Stock software, non rooted, disabled bloatware with package disabler pro.

30h standby time.
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
Best .

Firmware please
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
What the hell ? Is this an S6 ? This is impossible. Last time i had this battery life was when i had the A5 2016 and the LG G2.

Also where is the graph ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Edge330:
I'm going to sleep, 2nd day without charging, last time I had same situation was with siemens c60 9 years ago.

Wifi and data on all the time, brightness auto 50%.

[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Do you believe in miracles friend, no i don't.

That could be not from a s6.

Could other phone with marshmallow.

Its not the first time people like to trolling others in the threads.

And one thing for s6 users try,

Test your brightness and see when the mAh is the same or lower than the sot the brightness is Always on minimum.

Try it.
[Galaxy S6 General] gmajnkek:
Damn the problem is still there... How to solve this battery drain issue?!

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

I supose that your s6 is rooted and your using a custom kernel and rom? Which one?
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
Base please ?? .btu .xef .xeo .poland???
[Galaxy S6 General] Edge330:
Really don't know, I have S6 for 1 month so I didn't inform too much myself about S6 software, also didn't root because of knox. Phone is bought in Croatia (EU), T-mobile.

Guys, I dont have any interest to lie about battery life, also I'm too old for this types of jokes. It's weekend, so most of my time I was in house connected to wifi, when I'm home I use 2G network because in my area I have weak 3G and 4G signal, maybe 1 or 2 bars.

I noticed that standby drain is really low, overnight battery stays at same % or drops for one %. I'm also suprised about this result, especially because battery is only 2550 mAh, but before S6 I had G3 with 3000 mAh and battery wasn't so good.

Sometimes battery is worser, sometimes better, it's depends on usage, but in general battery is OK.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
No i'm on full stock. The only trick i did is that power saving mode was on while gaming only.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
with several tweaks! Arter kernel 14 beta 5, Synapse with background apps moved to A53 to have much better battery life, 1080p, amplify and greenify :)
[Galaxy S6 General] HowJesNo:
can u show screenshot of this in bold. 1% standby drain overnight?? i take if of charger at around 10PM get up at 6:30AM to go to work and it drains in averega 1% per hour of standby, so 8-10 percent overnight standby with do not disturbed ON.

what firmware u got??
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Standby time depends on the apps you have running in the background and also the signal. Signal have a "HUGE" impact in your battery life , for example in my room i have very bad signal ( 1-2 bars max ) , and i always lose between 4% to 10% overnight , same case when i had the A5 2016 , Galaxy S5...etc. I turn airplane mode om and the drain is gone , i lose 0% to 1%.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
0% lost
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Yeah powersaving mode increase battery life so much , i remember having more than 5h SOT with 25% left ( or more i think )
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Yea i get very good so? with power saving mode on..like the s7 :)) and with the removed Grey status bar from the new roms i can use it without problems..also with the newest releases from arter you can use the power saving mode without noticing any slow down or lags.
[Galaxy S6 General] vipanonymous:

Guys, what's the best ROM, kernel, settings combo for battery life without huge performance impact right now? I'm using stock rom with stock kernel (S3DPB1 France XEF) and the last few days I can see greater battery consumption than with first version of 6.0.1 (while still using the same apps)...
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Xtrestolite v3.3 arter kernerl v14 beta 5
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Arter is bad for battery life

Use stock,spacex or mystery If i want good battery life
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
Hi, my battery normally is good but sometimes wifi in gsam shows a over battery consumption. When this happens i can't go over 4h sot, but when don't i can do this:

XEF stock, some bloat disabled, auto brightness 30%, wifi and sync, shutapp and doze
[Galaxy S6 General] vipanonymous:
What are you talking about? I've attached the screencaps :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Amazing battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] st0j:
Please help, I recently flashed 6.0.1 on my G920W8 S6 and the battery life is awful, Android system stay awake is a huge drain stays on for hours, ~90% of what the phone has been off charger. How do I fix this?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Factory reset
[Galaxy S6 General] st0j:
Performed one when I updated, should I do it again? I was thinking of trying to download a different carries 6.0.1 and flashing it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Dont flash carrier specific firmware , look for a clean firmware without all those bloat apps
[Galaxy S6 General] st0j:
All the Canadian ones I think are similar, I download from sammobile and I'm not rooted. Where could I get this 6.0.1 version without any bloat to download.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Look for them in sammobile , you are not obliged to use Canadians firmwares only , you may try for example Italy , France , Germany ..etc.

Well before you download read the firmware info , it shouldnt have "Orange" , "Vodafone" , "Movistar" or any carrier name.
[Galaxy S6 General] adrimarti15:
Be careful with the rom you choose to flash, your s6 variant may not be compatible with the non carrier rom, since it is different than g920F
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Doesnt he have the G920F ? ?
[Galaxy S6 General] adrimarti15:
I read he has G920W8 buddy!!
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Yes you are right !

Be carful while choosing the firmware ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Xtrsolite 3.3 and stock kernel
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Im glad i leave s6 , today first day with s7-edge im testing first charge. And im impressed with the battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
6h so? is enought for me. I ll upgrade maybe to the s8 :))
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Like i said for me wifi doesn't matter.

I need battery in 4G and outside , whre i live there is sun all the year and driving need more brightness sometimes.

I could say for my first 10% in 4G it last twice more than S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Well You will get 1h more sot on 4g with the s7..or maybe i m wrong..i m getting 4h-4and a half h on 4g

Post some ss on 4g on ur s7 so we can compare them..maybe i will get the s7 edge too
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
No but i have the s7 edge.

Of course S6 to S7 maybe doesn't worth it.

But to the edge i think so.

Let's see.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
SOT 2:10

A little bit wifi, 4G, ~10h BT, nothing special, but when phone goes to deep sleep, then everything ok. Just need to wait fix for good deep sleep
[Galaxy S6 General] gmajnkek:
Which one do you have on your s6?
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
I have a spanish firmware
[Galaxy S6 General] gmajnkek:
i supose Vodafone? Damn i really dont know how some of the 6.x ver. have no deep sleep.
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
Movistar , but they are great as you can uninstall their 5-6 bloat apps , yes you can uninstall them not just disable them.

I have no complains , it's a beast.
[Galaxy S6 General] kashifyy:
Stock 6.01 with bloat disabled. Power save turned off. Wifi off at night only

Facebook, whatsapp instagram, twitter, photos, 8 ball, boom beach etc

In my opinion disabling Fast charging gives slightly more SOT

I tested with installing greenify and pixel filter but it gave 1 hour less SOT. Now i don't have any power saving app installed.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
I can't understand battery saver apps too, like greenify, they killing app and you need more time and resources to start it again. And s6 has integrated battery saver app in settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jetbo4:
Battery Life

This is with T-mobile and a Pebble Connected, no location, power saver all day. Let me know if you want any more information
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
I didn't use any WiFi today and cell standby only used 2% of the battery this time. Overall battery life was better than previous days however I noticed that the google app (google now) and google services were still eating up 20% together. I experimented with turning off location and sync and did notice that the rate of battery discharge was much better but I'll need to experiment more to confirm.

I do think there is something unusual with the amount of power that the google stuff is eating up. It is probably something that will get fixed. I think with the cell standby issue and this google thing resolved, this phone should have fairly solid battery life.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

I'm getting exactly the same issue. I got around the cell standby issue but google stuff is eating up the battery too.
[Galaxy S6 General] chobits:
so what's your average Screen on Time?

with or without wifi connection?

i'm expecting to see more than 5 hours on this device
[Galaxy S6 General] Jetbo4:
I had 2 hours if you look two post up with wifi. I work in a fortified building with strong wifi and weak cell signal so that's wifi calling mostly all day.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
After going through all these data, I think there is something which is eating a lot of battery standby. However while during actually using the device, the device uses very less power, which is good. Once the standby issue (could be related to core Android, not something related to hardware) is resolved, overall batterylife should be good-very good level.
[Galaxy S6 General] akong702:
Seems to be the case for us early adopters :) hopefully updates will roll out and fix these bugs.
[Galaxy S6 General] jbdan:
5.1 was/is quite a large bug/memory fix release. 5.1 should give a nice battery boost. I think the battery life is good on the GS6 just not stellar, but didn't expect it to be better than it is.
[Galaxy S6 General] wund3rground:
Just got mine today, battery seems to pretty good so far,then again I'm coming from a Nexus 5 so...
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
5.1 won't improve battery life on the S6 as much as it improved battery on the Nexus 5/6. The Nexus devices had processor related fixes included in 5.1 that led to the increases in battery life. I believe it was something to do with hot plugging, the S6 doesn't have any issues related to this, thus no efficiency gains besides the usual bug fixes.

This was discussed earlier on in this thread.

seriously ?? 2 hours sot i all you can get?

that bad?

that's worse than nexus 5 with 3 hours sot average
[Galaxy S6 General] Jetbo4:
I mean I posted 4 screen shots showing haha. 30+ % cell stand by. I got the phone on tuesday so this is the second full day, very light usage and power saver on the whole time.
[Galaxy S6 General] poczynek:
Ha the usual squillion page battery thread where some people get great battery and some people don't. Looking forward to the next 50 pages.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jetbo4:
I mean it is a Battery Life Discussion thread :P. I feel the best way to do that is give the most complete information you can. A lot of people rely on this information to get a phone. While it may be a T-Mobile issue with the cell stand by, I can not in good consciousness recommend this phone due to the battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] poczynek:
Like every other battery thread since the dawn of time, it all depends on so many individual factors that your configuration will never replicate someone else's.
[Galaxy S6 General] chobits:
oh lol

i almost decided not to get the phone
[Galaxy S6 General] akong702:
Here's mine after a full day of use. Lots of reddit, xda, Bluetooth streaming music, some YouTube, instagram, Facebook, messenger, 30 min phone call, and texting, and Web browsing. Not great but will surely get better once bugs has been squashed, especially the cell standby.
[Galaxy S6 General] chobits:
as i subscribe to this thread, i can conclude that the average SOT is around 4 hours

Some can get only 3 hours, and some can get more than 5 hours SOT

it can be good (with screen Quad HD res) and it can be bad (only that much SOT) but less worse with the quick charge technology
[Galaxy S6 General] DrAkO82:
How quick charge technology will affect battery life ?

Got damn, ordered a 64GB S6 Edge but i'm a bit afraid with this SOT average, especially coming from a 6+. I got 8-9 hours SOT with the 6+ and 36-40hours in Standby.

I know i will not doing the same with the S6 but 5 hours SOT is a minimum and a day of battery in Standby.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
They really help.they help deep sleep and also the battery..imagine If facebook will stat running în baground for some several hours...it will drain all uour battery
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Well just leave s6 and s7 edge and i can say now it really worth the upgrade the battery rocks.

I can't discharge in one day with my usage.

ROM Lollipop stock with root

Hi all,

I got some issues with my SGE6's battery... :crying: Since about two weeks, i gotta charge it twice a day (mid-day, and before sleeping). I don't use is very much, because I'm at work, and i don't send very much messages these pasts days. I installed Amplify et greenify, but it doesn't seem to change anything. Sometimes I turn on deep battery saver too, but it doesn't save my battery well...

Here are a few screenshots of my battery stats, and there are things I don't understand.

Can someone could help me ?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
I don't see a reason to pay for S7 Edge upgrade to get less (without rooting) that I can get for free with rooted S6 Edge. Will wait for S8 Edge.

Just root your phone and see how greenify works. I am getting much better SOT that you do ( you can search my previous posts) with greenify. If device is not rooted what is the point if app has no way to control battery usage?

If your phone is rooted then there is an issue with your config. In my case greenify takes 0.1-0.5% of battery use after 9hrs and still 100% (that is also posted somewhere here) with 4G.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
if everything ok, facebook do not work all time in background. How I wrote, you can "optimize" facebook in phone settings, if you worry about deep sleep.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
It s not the same..and trust me it eat a lot of battery

Also there is a big difference between grenify without Root and with Root + xposer (boost mode) also în combination of amplify it s best i get very good battery

An upgrade for me to the s7 edge it s not Worth
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
The way i upgrade it always worth it.

And i dont need to root this phone.

Because my next is note 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
don't talk about root, because, if phone rooted better custom rom and kernel and forget about greenify. Greenify is lag for phone, I used it on my n4 (rooted), I don't want watch back :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Lag?:)) You dont know what are You talking about.

You get lag bcuz of the apps running în baground and all the bloatware You get by using a non rooted phone :)
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
Greenify is good for apps that you use once a day, not for apps you frequently use, because this makes your cpu working more. Instead, if the app is already in background (it is sufficient also only in cache, it doesn't need to be running), your cpu works less, 'cause it hasn't to wake your app every time.

Maybe it could be good for some games, for example. You play it 2 or 3 times in a day, and it'snot a great job for our cpu, but an app as facebook (i personally hate it, and i do not see the meaning of using it, now that default browser gives you notifies of facebook) is frequently used during the day, so you do this:

Wake-use, wake -use, wake -use all time xD
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
You are right mate.
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Facebook it s not a heavy app so your cpu isnt jumping at max clocks for it..so it s far better to launch it over and over than having it constantly syncing and sucking battery în the baground. Also messenger the same...those 2 are the worst apps for a phone..they are always syncing and staying în the baground. I had this problem on ios too..
[Galaxy S6 General] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=4573143]erghetto[/MENTION] is right , greenify is a must for apps you use rarely , 1-2 times a week , so they are always sleeping and doesnt slow down the phone. But if you hibernate an app you use everyday like whatsapp or facebook , you will drain your battery faster because cpu will make more effort to open close open close ...etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
Read what other guys wrote after your post. Lag is when you scrolling from one app to other app, which are greenify'ed.

I wrote, what i had rooted n4 with greenify, so I know how greenify works.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
shrug,

his (paulyz's) point was that greenify drains battery. Well it does not if properly used. No point of using greenify if device is not rooted. There are other ways of system optimization although not so efficient.

I am not sure what are you discussing? That is the whole point of greenify: keep unused apps in check so there is more room (battery) for the apps that are used frequently. For frequently used apps there are other ways to keep them in order.

what is your argument? My point was that I can get for free what you will pay for (if you don't plan to root S7 Edge).
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
You have said my same thing, have you read it? O.o
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
I don't have this kind of lag when switching apps after lollipop and I use greenify which is a must for good battery life! So you mean you prefer apps in the background to prevent that "lag"...Then why complain of poor battery life.

I agree with [MENTION=4681098]Diaze[/MENTION]. Greenify works great for me as without it, the numerous games and apps in the background create lag!
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
s6, automatic optimize app (after 3 days of non use) or can optimize immediately when you leave app (you need to change in settings), so why to use greenify? :)

I can't understand, how you don't see, what greenify'ed app opens longer..............
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
No, services/wakelocks are not affected otherwise you would not get messages or mail. For example my email app is closed and will not run unless I start it. I am getting notifications that email arrived (means that services work) and then I start email app to read/write the email app is too small to have any significant effect on battery drain when often run/closed. So keep it closed until used has more beneficial effect on battery drain than just let it run.

This is not a theory this is how I am getting 7-8hrs SOT with daily use.

I hope that we are not talking about full blown photoshop? Apps for android are quite small. I don't see any lag when opening (closed) apps.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

No, not the same: why are you guys talking about cpu when apps are so small and loaded fast? I doubt that "overused" cpu kills battery. I don't see this.
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
Same here.

Disabling wifi during standby makes it not drain during stand by. But Android system still drains when using phone and wifi is on.

I've tried all kinds of things. Many clean installs of different roms. Different settings. Can't figure it out.
[Galaxy S6 General] fabulous69:
dude... please ok you can optimize this battery life. BUT 7h TO 8h?

stop lying. Or you are just turning screen on with zero brightness and not using it as a smartphone...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] Artemon9:

Since the 6.0.1 update, Android System eats 44% of battery, and SOT is less, than 2 hours. :(

[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Guys this is my opinion ,

I have few Samsung some root other dont.

My s6 that i had stock and 4h 4G 5 to 6h wifi.

My Note 4 give me 5h 4G it's good for a day.

But with s7 edge i could say , with same settings., that last always twice as s6.

I can't discharge in one day.

I get home half a hour ago and 52% now.

I think this phone no need any root.

I get always almost 5h in 4G until 50%.

Isn't good.?

No need to struggle.

Dude, don't care what you think. Stop calling me liar I don't know you:

7hr of SOT that is 7hrs of playing video.

same thing.
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
This is not absolutely a common usage, so it doesn't give any useful information about how can last this battery with a typical daily usage.

[MENTION=6684540]cavags5[/MENTION]

S7 is a different phone. New soc, new everything.

It looks like same phone as s6, but it doesn't.

Larger battery, a new soc which is surely more optimized than the one of s6 (well, it's normal.. technology goes on year after year), maybe also a better software. We only look at the esthetics of touchwiz, but i'm sure the one of s7 has a better optimization (otherwise why devs should do porting of s7 for s6 if it is the same thing?)

So, let's talk only of this phone. Making comparison with s7 doesn't help us to improve this one
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
This is heavy use more than facebook/mail/web.

On the other hand it is ridiculous to tell someone what is typical use and what is not. Whatever I would set up it may be different from what you imagine as typical use. Just get similar SOT in similar conditions then we can talk what is "typical".

What is true though is that I did not lie.
