Well you do have a lot of things going on there. It is difficult to

judge a battery drain based on this setup. To see how energy efficient

is your configuration you would have to charge your phone, close all

apps and restart the device. Monitor battery for a few hours (leave it

with wifi or 3G/4G on overnight) see what is battery drain. What I am

getting is 1% in 12hrs (more or less) so I can say that background

device battery drain is negligible. Now whatever app you would add it

will usually drain battery but this would be your conscious choice

something you would expect because nothing is free.

However I would think that 2hrs of SOT is not much.

After a rather frustrating weekend of testing I can conclude Marshmallow is CRAP with regards to battery life. This is probably going to be my last android phone because I don't see the retards from Google taking the OS the right path AT ALL.

After they messed up Lollipop big time they tried a patchwork with Marshmallow but things are so fundamentally wrong that not even Doze can help.

I'm looking at my Z3C running Kitkat (which I will NEVER update) sleeping like a champ when not in use. You shouldn't need Doze if you correctly manage your apps and phone settings (which I do).

First of all there seems to be no way of limiting wakelocks. Phone off the charger not being touched. You check it

1h later, 98% with 16sec of SOT and 11 min of wakelocks. In GSam app sucker the top 2 (by a huge margin) are Android OS and Android Kernel (because they really suck). This is MM for you, basically a version of Lollipop without (that much) radio drain but with a whole set of problems, problems that people were not noticing before just because of the radio drain. Rather ironic...

I don't know how you guys manage your wakelocks but having bundled 3/4 of everything the phone can do under "Android OS" was a really retarded idea.

And the messed up stuff is actually happening somewhere inside the core processes because disabling ALL bloat with Package Disabler Pro makes no difference. Clearing the cache and resetting to factory settings - no help. Frequent restarts - useless.

Don't get me wrong, I still get between 4 and 5,5h (?) of SOT with everything on, but this **** is not reliable at all. And worst of all, it's pretty obvious that 7 or maybe 8h of SOT would be achievable even on this "small" battery if we wouldn't have these wakelocks. (I got close to 10h of SOT during 24h with the Z3C but on Wi-Fi and with light usage).

Sorry to hear that. If this is stock then there is not much you can do.

If this is custom ROM, then there are ways to solve your battery problems.

Unfortunately my access from computer to xda forums from my computer is blocked and from phone it is difficult (for me) to write fast/attach pictures.

Put a 2k display also on z3c and then we can talk about battery life.

You can't compare 2 phones absolutely different.

Users really don't understand and realize how much heavy is our display on battery and then they complain about bad battery life.

Samsung system is heavier than any other (imho, but i think all could agree with me), althoug it's very usefull and (since LL and MM) with a beautiful interface.

You can't have all these functions with a light system.

All this is bad for battery life, but we know before bying this phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
Yep, this is stock...

Well it makes no sense to bring up display size and resolution to the discussion when talking about STAND BY TIME, now does it? It seems like you kind of missed the point on why MM sucks. Hint: it has nothing to do with display technology.

For the brief moments when I have no wakelocks I'm getting a preview of what the S6 could be with a proper OS. And it's something like 30% better at least.

How does this help and in what context? Well it's easy. It tells you that if things go on like this we will need to have real bricks as phones just to achieve a 2 day battery life. And all this is because Google does a worse and worse job optimizing the OS.

I don't know about you but I feel it's a shame (from a technological point of view) and a disgrace (from a client point of view) to waste up battery life with software which is worse than before (!).

That's an approach I won't financially encourage anymore.

I don't have this problem.

Other day i was impressed that after having fully charged phone, it has kept 100%for more than 2-3 hours of standy-by. (In 4g)

After having upgraded to MM have you done a factory reset?
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
And to go even more to the point, take the S7. What did Samsung do in response to feedback about the crappy battery life on Lollipop (totally Google's fault)? Well they made the S7 thicker in order to add a 3000 mAh battery.

Now ignoring the subjective hype reviews suffer from when they talk about night and day differences compared to S6, if you take gsmarena's battery chart (a very good COMPARISON tool) you notice that a 17,6% capacity increase leads to ONLY a 9,5% battery life increase. And that is with newer, more efficient components.

We're basically paying the manufacturers to throw in more and more tech so that Google can take a dump on.

Unfortunately, you can control wakelocks only when using rooted device. As you pointed out switching to S7 will not solve battery problems. Getting 1%/2-3hrs on 4G is not much assuming changing signal conditions.
[Galaxy S6 General] erghetto:
He complains about standy by battery drain.

I misunderstood this initially, so i talked about screen.

I don't give much attention to this, so i can't say if it really drains so much on stand by.

I use phone very often during day, especially in this perdiod (i haven't wifi at home, so i'm always in 4g) and it lasts all day.

Moreover, having fast charge i don't care so much, 'cause it takes few minutes for charging also only a bit

I usually do 4 hours screen, these days always 1h of browser (always 4g), a bit of music, youtube and things like that.

I got his point, but actually i'm not able to say if he is right or not.

It was rhe first post i talked about SOT
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
Do you always have flat stand-by times? I mean horizontal lines either in the system battery graph or in GSam? Are you on stock firmware?

I don't get the same level of wakelocks all the time. Sometimes is less, sometimes more and rarely almost no wakelocks (0% of total drain).

Like I said, without excessive wakelocks, there's no reason the S6 could not achieve at least 6h of SOT with light usage and everything on (sync, location, mixed Wi-Fi/ 4G+). The problem is that when these wakelocks appear (and they do appear) you have no way of identifying which Android OS generates the wakelocks and why.

Here is my last 2 days of battery. I had a lot to do and i can't use the phone as much. But i used for mostly watch football streaming in 4g in 1xbet app and a little Spotify paired with Bluetooth to my car. A bit of sms and browsing e about 30min of calling. I noticed after a installed shuttapp+doze my standby battery is great. As you can see in two nights (straight lines almost in the graphic) only dropped 1% each night and after 2 days reached 3h sot with essentially 4g streaming.

Got doze and shutapp running now. Still getting less than 3 hours sot, max. Is it maybe an account syncing too much? I have my google gmail, microsoft exchange email for school, imap3 for hotmail, (thru gmail app). Samsung account not syncing at all.

All galaxy apps disabled and i have restricted background data for google play services.

Location is off when I'm not working or at school or out somewhere with friends.

Charging now but I will post screens later of battery stats from settings and gsam stats.
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
I'm pretty sure Doze / Shutapp / Greenify don't do anything if you already manage your apps. They don't touch the system processes and THERE is where you have your problems.

There are a ton of things to disable which are not easily accessible and that might use battery even if you don't use them, like for example Nearby search (Other connection settings) or Samsung's mobile tracking which uses Google's mobile tracking - talking about redundancy (Samsung account settings). Or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth scanning under Wi-Fi settings.

What I would recommend is installing a monitoring app like System Tuner Pro, then recording and analyzing logs is order to spot the processes generating wakelocks. Then, based on that, either disabling some processes (if you can) or just learn to live with it.

[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
and

that is why you need amplify - to control wakelocks and alarms

the only syncing I disabled is google play

everything else is on (wifi and 4G interchangeable).

Of course you can't control is signal strength. The rest is up to you (but it may require rooting).

If system is not rooted it is impossible to achieve more control over software running on the phone.

Hi friends .

Posible fix and solution battery life .

battery drain

Some users have reported that Google Play Services drains their Galaxy S6 battery quite a lot. Lucky for us, there is a very strange but effective fix for this problem.

Go to Settings > Data Usage

Scroll down to see the list of apps

Press on Google Play Store

Switch Toggle to Restrict background data

Repeat step 3 and 4 for Google Play Services

Hard-restart your Galaxy S (not to be confused with hard-reset) by holding the volume-down and power buttons and release once the device turns itself off

Re-enable background data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services.

Test

Happy
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Fix for deep sleep by me: install xposed with amplify greenify and other things that you want for your device.

Than install deep sleep battery saver and choose AGRESSIVE.

10 seconds after you turn off the screen wifi or 3g/4g will turn off.

When you unlock the screen the will re enable.

It is so comfort to have more juice

Do you guys feel that the battery life was better on 6.0.1 before the security patch update? 14-15 mb in size if I remember good.

Hello, I'm new to the world of SGS6 and wish I'd read this thread before going out and getting one a few days ago! I can't believe there is a built in system to detect modifications in order to void the warranty, it's pure scum.

So, is there a way at all to make the battery decent without blowing the Knox fuse or should I just forget it and flash a custom ROM? I have no idea about the reliability of these phones, so I'm not entirely sure if I should care about my warranty.
[Galaxy S6 General] lazydesi:
First time I got 5+ SoT after Start using MM
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
There are reasons that make KNOX useful (e.g. corporate environment), however if you do not care about Samsung Pay (I don't - android is way too insecure to give my card) then just kill KNOX/install custom ROM. Of course you will loose Samsung warranty too. This would be the other reason to keep KNOX intact.

If you browse this topic you will notice that without custom ROM your options are limited. With default ROM users are constantly fiddling with different parameters finding more or less possible cures for battery drain as you could notice reading this thread.

On the other hand after switching to custom ROM (XtreStoLite Beta 3 + default kernel) I am getting stable 100+ min of video plus total of 7hrs SOT (with 2-3hrs of wireless music) from single charge (up to 12hrs SOT with light use). I did set up all stuff only once and don't meddle with my phone anymore, just use it. The only thing that I am planning is update to XtreStoLite 3.x final once it settles.

This is your decision, you can definitely improve battery life on stock ROM.

good luck

[Galaxy S6 General] Callumpy:
Thank you very much for your response! I was thinking about pay services and the affect Knox tripping would have on them, I aassume the phone is considered insecure when tripped.

At the moment I have disabled all sorts of 'battery wasting' features and apps, making it feel pointless having a smartphone. Im very tempted to flash a custom ROM to return functionality and hopefully increase battery performance.

Just upgraded from S6 to S7 exynos. Simply wow, Samsung has done magic with the battery. 6-7 hours sot with stock everything is a piece of cake.
