Is this a good battery life?
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
I think it's the GPS. I turned off GPS (wifi and mobile networks only) and battery life is much better. Right now I have 2h 10m at 48%. Google App and Google Play Services is also using less battery

Hi All,

I've read last pages od this thread and followed some suggestions (like disable as many apps I can) but I still have huge battery drain.. :mad::mad:

I cannot add pictures anyway I'm with 58% battery left after 12h of use(better unuse), but only 33 mins of SOT (for a consumpion of 2%) and with top rate consuption app android OS 7% (active for 1h and 18mins only 3kb sent and received) and google services with 5%

I've disabled Google app.

I'm on stok ROM. basebuild 2COH2

Could someone help me to improve my battery life and get rif of offline consumption.

Thanks

[Galaxy S6 General] wy2sl0:
I use tasker profiles to airplane mode my phone at night because I leave it on as my alarm.

Data isn't left on all day while at work (9 hours), it just periodically comes on, unless I open an app that needs internet then it will come on.

While at home (the other 10-15 hours) Wifi is left on outside my hours of sleep, 11pm-6am.

I am just running that light ROM with the stock kernel I believe? Nothing else tweaked.

That is reading a lot of reddit in white as well. If I could find a way to use the black reddit interface I am sure I could have gone 6 hours.

After a couple of battery cycles I'm starting to see some pretty good battery life.

5.5 hours of SOT.
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Android virgin lol!

Disable most of the pink colored packages, but avoid com.xxx.xxxx packages like com.android.wallpapercropper as like its name suggests, you'll not be able to crop wallpapers! Disable com.facebook if u don't use and things you don't use like s voice, beacon manager. Don't disable Smart manager as you won't be able to see battery in settings! Other pink colored ones are pretty safe to disable. U can even disable Samsung keyboard if u using another keyboard!

Tips for battery life

After a month of use, I usually get over 5:30 SOT with a full charge, disconnecting it at 5:50 Am and plugging it at 10pm. For every user having issues with their battery life, I'll leave some key tips that may be helpful

· Deactivate vibrations, specially vibration when softkeys are tapped, this drains battery a lot

· Disable all bloatware, even if then don't appear in the battery consumption (include google and samsung apps)

· Keep your sync off unless you need it

· Activate GPS, wifi, bluetooth only when needed

· Display on auto and on the middle, Screen drains most battery, so this is very important.

I do use my s6 a lot all day, whatsapp, line, hangouts, instagram, twitter. I do use a mail client for my emails
[Galaxy S6 General] Aircondition:
5 hours screen on time and 10.5 hours standby on WiFi. I had brightness at manual 40-50% all time. Since I started using Amplify and limited all Google services wakelocks battery life has improved significantly. I'm running XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3 with UniKernel v8-0002 COH9 stock. Standby time could have been much longer, with all wakelocks and alarms disabled battery consumption is almost zero when idle. I would get more screen on time or standby by having brightness on auto.
[Galaxy S6 General] rinderkappajoe:
Should i Use alternative apps instead of Stock apps like Samsung Music and Samsung Browser/Chrome Browser?

I allready disabled Samsung planner and Use jorte calendar now.

I also kicked s-health for walkroid.

At the moment i still use Samsung Music, Memo, and both Stock Browsers.

Facebook, YouTube (Both deleted) and Gmail (deactivated) is linked to my homescreen via Browser.

Any other recommendations?
[Galaxy S6 General] nizmoboy98:
This is my battery life . I'm on 5.1.1 and on WiFi all the time when I'm at home. Stock rom and not rooted . Just disabled a lot of crap
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
S Health is not a battery eater. U can use it as it's pretty much the best health app out there!

Chrome running in the background eats a little battery. Chrome is disabled for me and I use Chrome Beta (prefer it to normal chrome) instead which I can Greenify safely.

Best advice is use a dark theme like Weyo from Hiten Soni in Samsung theme store!
[Galaxy S6 General] Aircondition:
Brightness on 0% auto I assume.
[Galaxy S6 General] rinderkappajoe:
Thanks. I really liked s-health and will enable it again.

My theme and my chromecast weatherclock is as Black as possible! :)

I dont like Chrome at the moment.... Scrolling through the xda forum is laggy, dont know why this Problem occurs in chrome..... I use Stock Browsers and everything is nice and smooth, the only thing i hate is that i cant open tabs in Background but thats too offtopic now :)

Getting very bad battery life, had phone a week and yesterday I reflashed the OS. Android OS is 2hr keep awake. 40% battery with 1hr screen on time. Did a geek bench test from 100% and it lasted 7 hours screen time on 5% brightness. Is there an issue with the hardware?

By the way I am fully stock, no root, I've fully used the 'App Optimisation' and I'm a firm believer and user of Package Disabler Pro
[Galaxy S6 General] SilentEYE:
Yes, theoretically! [emoji3]
[Galaxy S6 General] oliver005:
Sorry but that's a BS. CPU + gpu uses the most battery. If you turn brightness to max, put a white wallpaper and just do nothing else, you'll get around 5 to 6 hours of screen time. If you'll run some benchmark at the background with the screen turned off , you'll barely hit 3 hours of usage mark with almost 0 SOT. Screen is NOT the biggest drainer.
[Galaxy S6 General] tmac31:
ofc gpu cpu can drain more. but screen is constant if you arent playing games your cpu or gpu just go higher clocks for few secs. in daily usage display drains alot for example putting phone in power saving makes no difference for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] kendall1004:
Time to spread some love here.

Check out my battery life with (for me) normal usage:

screenshot

XtreStoLite 2.3 deodexed /w modified UniKernel, deepsleepfix installed, mostly using dark themes

"Normal usage" for me is making calls, taking pics or a vid sometimes; check emails, listen to mp3s or play a game of pinball.

Phone is offline most of the time, i only enable data connection when i browse reddit from time to time or use it as a SatNav.

Above screencap also included downloading several hundred MB of mp3s from Amazon via WLAN and playing around with Tasker/Utter/Open Signal for hours; so it should be a pretty good summary of my actions.

TL;DR: stock battery life may be ****e, but can be improved greatly with lots of tweaks.

Issue when screen is on

My S6 has terrible battery. Left it overnight and it drained 8% with no apps installed. Every time I touch the screen all 4 cpu cores go up to 1.3GHz according to System Manager. I did a factory reinstall last night using SmartSwitch - would it have been better if I used Odin?

Bettery is a lot better on WiFi - but on 3G at college, it drains a lot in my pocket

Also, I do not know why Android OS is still high.

I do not know if I have a bad unit or it is just a software issue - it is only 2 weeks old. Please help me, here is some screenshots.

What exactly would I disable with that app that I couldn't disable without it? I'm on Verizon. If this has been discussed before apologies....
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Most other system apps that u couldn't disable like beacon manager, allshare, diagmoagent, email, gear...

Grab an apk first to try and if you're satisfied, make sure u buy it in Play Store! That's what I did :)

What's up with disabling Knox?

Why is it not sleeping? Just the battery keeps going down

You should be getting around 30 minutes more sot. It should also make the phone respond and launch apps faster and give you a more fluid experience. For me, my S6 is more smooth with no hiccups!

The preinstalled battery eaters are on! They are running in background. FB, Instagram...This is what I hate about Samsung. Why do they preinstall FB, WhatsApp, Instagram, Skype, MS for me? Greenify free version can't hibernate those. U must get the premium of Greenify to hibernate those or disable them and use alternatives or use FB on your browser instead.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamesskinner97:
I downloaded Facebook and that, Android OS is like 1 hour stay awake. The battery is okay when at home on WIFI, it's just 3G
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Samsung forced the developer to remove option to disable Knox! This app won't erase data of any apps. No worries.

Can't put links to download apk illegally on xda since it's indeed not a good thing. But for sake of trying before purchasing, put the word 'mirror' and apk.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Find what other processes are on when u enter Android os option. Turn mobile data off when you're not using. Disable most of Gapps as well! Android OS is always on since it's the operating system of the phone

[Galaxy S6 General] pdxrealtor:
What does disabling Knox do for me?

I finally worked through the disable list last night and got almost 7 hours of auto bright screen on time. I was kind of pissed, the pink disable list renders exchange accounts useless, amongst a couple other useful apps and services.

Anyways. Seems to be a good find indeed. Today Will be the first real test.

On a side note, I discovered Peel remote. How F-ing cool is that? I'm ecstatic!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] pdxrealtor:
All of a sudden I'm getting cell standby info on the battery use screen. I never noticed it before. Has it always been there and I just didn't pay enough attention or could it have just shown up after disabling all the apps.?
[Galaxy S6 General] pdxrealtor:
After some more reading it seems as though it's likely I was not seeing cell standby previously.

I do recall only seeing three items noted under battery use, adguard always being one of the top two. But I can't remember for the life of me what the other app or process was.

I've reverted back to previous settings to see

Remember guys, we still suffer from the mobile active radio bug. I leave everything on, on my S6 (G-now, OK Google, High Accuracy Location, Location History, NFC, and Bluetooth) and on WiFi my standby drain ain't to bad. But on 4G LTE the mobile radio is constantly kept awake draining battery like crazy. Google has still not fixed this even in marshmallow from what I've heard. That's why our battery life sucks away from home.

There is an Xposed modul what fixes the problem, its calles MobileActiveRadioFix :)

[Galaxy S6 General] pdxrealtor:
I'm getting well over 24 hours of mixed use after fine tuning the package disabler program.

Today I'm at 42% battery left - 19 H 12M since charged - with 34 minutes of phone use, blue tooth connection all day (part of the day on head piece and watch), and SOT of 2 hours. Not a lot of use, but I'm still capable of close to 6 hours SOT in a 12 hour period.

A couple of things -

Cell standby is now always at the top of the list. It NEVER used to be in the list at all. I actually went back to OEM just so I could verify this, as I was questioning it a few posts back.

Adguard used to always be the top one or two in the list of three. It's now nowhere in a list of five or six. I'm wondering if there's less ads due to less bloatware running in the background. There must be a reason it's not clocking time any longer.

Cell standby has actually gone into what seems like some sort of sleep mode. This is indicated by the messages + program (a Verizon app) notifying me it is running off wi-fi.

I now have Android OS, Android System, Google Services also constantly in the list of battery eaters. Those never, ever, used to show up in the past.

BT, WIFI, OK Google, exact location, etc is all on always. I didn't buy the phone to not use it... :p :good:

Its because you have 7h and still have 11% with 11% you could do more 30 40 minutes, why don't you post with 1%.?

Until 1% how much you do, 7.3h 7.4h?
