Finally an amazing battery life

Super important EDIT : For this charge I left my phone charging beyond the 100% as I had forgotten to take it with me when I left home in the morning. Maybe this has helped as others have suggested earlier.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Marne Jr:
+1 (me too)

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

You are under average...

Everybody should have 24h stand by + 4 hours screen on wifi mobile data and wifi always on.

If you don't get it find my post some pages ago with tips to achieve it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cruzaders:
Still 16% left

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
disable also Samsung Push Services.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mjs2011:
Any harm in disabling this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
no harm, just better standby time. just try it
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
Some good result but on wifi only ;_;
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] snir6590:
How do you guys are getting such an amazing SOT ? (6-7hrs) I'm barely can reach the 3.5h.. please help me..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elpindian:
Same here I've had the phone since day 1 (although this is my 3rd Edge due to Rotategate) and the max SOT I've gotten is just under 4 hours... I average 10-12 hours battery life and I keep sync off. The only thing I can think of is the poor reception I get nearly everywhere I am due to Sprint sucking in my area... Any tips? I disabled Samsung Push Services, Google+, Facebook, Messenger, Lookout, and S Voice.

Thanks for any tips!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
I'd 2-4hrs SOT in the begining, but I think this drainage was because the poor signal coverage + gaming (even if it's a lil!), I've really poor radio coverage in my room, it bounce from non to one bar only! so I put it on airpalne mode and use wifi calling instead, so that's why I'm getting 6-7hrs, also I have greenyfy but I put it on manual and I keep forgetting to hipernate all the time so I think in my case it's useless and do nothing, other than that everything is on: Facebook & Fb chatt, WhatsApp, Skype, Swiftkey it seems it take some resources since I text a lot, Twitter, Instagram, Podcket Cast, 2 emails on push notification and ofc my main account with sync on. I must mention that I disabled all the bloatwear including knox & Sam push services, since I rooted my device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skivnit:
Yes poor signal will kill your battery, we just started getting 4g in my country, the signal is very weak, my battery was dying fast and cell standby along android os were the main cause

Any thoughts on how to limit Google Play Services?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jason-tech-uk:
Uninstall your Google Play Service updates and then re install them. Mine was doing the same thing and that totally stopped it.

Hope this works for you!!

Dissable location history
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dimkit:
I have tried this but still the Google services is first to the battery drain
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] waldof:
I don't understand now under battery settings I can see that I have approximately 10 apps what have used battery and total of consumption is around 30%, but however I only have 10% battery left.

Should it be like that or is it a bug?

SOT Is only 1.5h.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
That's because apps that usually used only 1% or less are ignored on the stats, you can use something like GSAM Battery saver to see the whole list, your SOT is really unacceptable, I mean I get about 5hrs, and on average it should be 4hrs, there's probably something wrong with your device
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
Well I tell you how. Some of them are rooted + greenify 99% of the apps. Some of them are switching the network to 2g then disables the the data and using only wifi and some of them are putting the phone on airplane mode when playing games or watching movies. This is how they get those results. For normal people 3--4+ hours of SOT is excellent... And low screen brightness

*** i tested the SOT time on my phone and I started twitchtv when I had 74% batt and around 1 hour SOT to see how long it will last, guess what when the phone was at 5% batt I was having 6.10 min of SOT!!! this amoled screen is very efficient when watching movies / streams. The test was made with 4g on wifi on and no tweaks besides disabled apps from touchwiz. Auto screen brightness with lux
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] waldof:
Thank you guys, got my problem solved, went over all howtos and now at the end of the day (day is not over jet) I have at 80% battery left, its says 1.2%/h consumption per hour.

I have location turned on and 4G turned all the time and everything works perfectly.

For me cache cleaning helped.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
Did anyone tried to put the screen mood on different moods and compare the consumption while fixing the other things?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
What's your SOT ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
Yes big difference.

I'm using adapt display.

Have to download An app called more shortcuts . Then goggle adapt display s6 edge and configure it
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
Yeah, I was using the adaptive mode, then I switched to cinema, so I got like 5.5 hrs SOT compared to almost 6.5-7 hrs on adaptive... so not that bad. In general I like popped up and over saturated colours.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] snir6590:
Guys do you also have this problme ? My % dropps very fast from 5 to 0 and when im connecting the phone for wven 5 secs it jumps to 5.. why is that?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
Happened to me too, but on 2% then 3% if not I'm mistaken, so I emptied my battery till my phone died then I put it on download mode till it died again, recharged it while it's off after that, I switched it on and used it till it dropped to 98%, recharged it again and I made it sits a while on the charger, not only I solved this problem, but now I've very good battery life also! :o :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Poetique:
First of all, you generally shouldn't let your device hit 0. You also shouldn't let it go below 5%.

With that out of the way, every device I've personally owned to date has some "irregularities" once the battery is that low. I imagine it's pretty hard to get proper battery readings at that point given that the device itself is only just barely keeping itself powered.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] anonymousss:
Data usage in settings and disable google services
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] waldof:
Sorry i cannot answer to that, because I'm usually charging my phone overnight(when its on around 50-60%).

Approximately it should be around 4-6 hours.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dimkit:
Also i have huge battery drain from google services and i am trying to find a sollution with no luck yet.

If you find any fix please inform us
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 2dorr:
With Adapt selected, I had better battery today.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
Best SOT I have ever managed to get

Impressed with the battery life after rooting and applying some tweaks, greenify, AppOps Xposed, uninstalled a lot of bloatware. Used Opera Mini instead of Chrome and it seems to be saving a lot of battery and data, my usage during this time was browsing the Internet mostly XDA and applying tweaks, as well as Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp and also Facebook but only via Opera Mini for Facebook as the FB app consumes a lot of battery. Watched some YouTube videos not for a very long time though. Used WIFI most of the time, Location set to WiFi and Mobile Networks, Sync always ON, syncing 1 Gmail account, Turned on Power Saving when I got to 20% battery.

Brightness(Manual) on low, low at the point where I can see things clearly

Applied the RAM management fix also and Battery Life still superb
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skivnit:
Appsops xposed.? Does that work on Edge?

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
Yeap, AppOps became independent on Xposed a while back just that you won't be able to get those extra hacks that you get with Xposed framework installed, but you'll be able to control permissions of every app provided you are rooted as it can only control the permissions if it's installed as a system app
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Shadyfurball:
Holy moly! 9.5 hours SOT!?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
Yeap I was surprised when I realised that at 89% of battery my SOT was 1hr, so I thought that means that by the time I get to 0% I should be close to 10hrs of SOT
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DATRUTH141:
Not trying to brag cuz I had some trouble with this. I originally a s6 edge with the Sony camera sensor. Was averaging about 12 hours on cellular with approx 2 hrs screen and phone going completely dead. Due to a bad pixel had yo get a replacement device. This one uses the Samsung isocell. 1 the screen color is much better, and on top of that, I'm getting 19 hours on lte with approx 2 hrs screen on time and still have 8-10 percent left. So happy my first device went bad, lol.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] those that are saying ADAPTIVE Display gives more SOT!

Well not for me, I use BASIC and with ADAPT Display I dropped from ~5 SOT to 2.30 MIn SOT.!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sameelster:
I don't know if I have been lucky or what but since day one I've had brilliant battery life on my S6 edge. Never less than 5 hours and it's usually around 5 hours 45 minutes.

This is with Adaptive display, Wifi always on and GPS/Location/Google Now off.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tjeeeeee:
Sprint user here and taking advice from what I've seen about WiFi scanning and such battery has increased some. Still behind on software compared to other carriers but running sacs rom with hybridmax is doing quite well, better than previous days. Mind you I put airplane mode when I go to bed since I hate being interrupted during my sleep and I don't like do not disturb (just a personal preference)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] farooknaji:
Excessive data usage by 'System' under Phone Radio

My battery life is quite inconsistent. Some days it lasts a about 12-14 hours of normal usage, and others it will manage half that with similar usage. I noticed the other morning that my battery was dropping drastically, and checked the battery stats and noticed a huge amount of data being consumed by 'System' under Phone Radio in the battery stats. I cleared my cache from recovery but then I noticed this happen again a few days later, after I restarted my phone the data usage and battery drain stabilised.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what may be the cause?

Screenshot of battery stats attached.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChromJ:
Not superior

More like acceptable
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] robikonobi:
Don't disable background data usage for google services. It messes up theGPS for some reason. My GPS was slow and having a hard time locking when i disables background data usage for google services. Turning it back on fixed it immediately.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] farooknaji:
I tried this, and I couldn't say 100% but I think disabling background data for Google Play Services also messed up my Whatsapp push notifications. I frequently failed to receive new Whatsapp message notifications until I opened the app and then saw a number of new messages. I re-enabled background data for Google Play Services and this seemed to fix the issue. There could have been some other cause though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] solidsnake:
I had a problem of huge battery drain on standby. A factory reset did wonders for me all battery problems seem to have disappeared.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alend_Ft:
Ultra Power Saving Mode only lasts 24h??!

So I just got my S6 Edge yesterday , and I wanted to try Ultra power saving mode and usage time remaining was only 23 hours at 99%.

I don't think this is normal :confused: while on their ad they claimed to last one day at 10 percent, also at 99% galaxy note 4 or S5 would last at least 10 hours, any body else having this problem?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] solidsnake:
I would suggest a factory reset

It solved my battery problems
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
I don't think that's an issue but something that has to do with the ROM, the Power Saving and Ultra Power Saving features base their estimates on your usage, so if you have been using your phone a lot and getting like 14hrs of battry, it will estimate that on UPSM you'll get 24hrs but if you've been getting 2 days battery life it will estimate a higher number, this has happened to me, it used to say 86hrs when I used to get 2 days of battery life which was due to light usage but now that I use it a lot and get like 14hrs if battery usage it tells me that on UPSM it will be about 24hrs
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ksekhar:
My best battery life so far!

3hrs 45 mins SOT and yet 5% remaining

14hrs 28 mins usage time and 48 mins more remaining

BT on all the time

Syncs 4 email accounts, all social accounts you can think of

Syncs with android wear (Moto 360)

Google photos app on

Location on battery saving

Using SimplKernel latest version!

For some reason I'm unable to upload screenshots :(

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] levon9:
Yes, I am too.

A new S6 (non-edge, 32GB TMO with the software update) right now Cell standby 19%, Screen 2% ...

I am not using WiFi calling, but using my home's WiFi for surfing/etc.

:(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
Go into wifi settings, tap the top right menu button, turn off always scanning for wifi, then turn off WiFi and wifi xalling, reboot your phone, charge it up, and see if you still experience the issue. I'm trying this now
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dimkit:
I would like to suggest in order this thread to be useful , that the people who bought the phone must be more specific . A sot does not say anything if you do not give some important information

1. Screen brightness (the most important).

2. Data on/off

3.Wi-Fi

4.GPS
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] levon9:
I'm trying this, thanks for the suggestion.

But how do I get the battery stats to reset? -- Ah ... never mind, once I disconnected the charging cord ... :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] i7icegy:
You need to turn off WIFI completely if you want to avoid the cell standby issue. It's a lollipop bug with tmobile variant, maybe all variant.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pure+:
Hopefully just TMo since the other carriers don't have wifi calling. But I guess we'll find out in a week.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] varunkumars:
No kidding seriously. What is your Android version.? What carrier?

I hope AT&T version has the same ability.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rjayflo:
I'm on the recent update from Tmobile. To me, that's kind of "light" usage since I'm studying for a state board exam. I turned off VoLTE and WiFi calling, FB and Instagram aren't being used. My screen brightness is 50%. I'm currently on my 2nd battery cycle, so we'll see how it goes
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hazy4days:
This is my battery life gps wifi data on. Screen brightness at 100%
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] russianzilla:
If that's seriously on T-Mo with wi-fi turned on, then I'm super jealous. Do you also have location services enabled?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rjayflo:

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dk206:
Hi Guys I have been using mine for the past few days- see screens got of firmware and battery life below
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] luisrcastillo:
Do you have an edge or regular S6? I noticed that the model number is different. Also, did you apply T-Mobile's latest OTA? I see the date on your kernel being March 1st where in mine it was March 27. I have a feeling the OTA has something to do with the drain issues
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hazy4days:
it was around 3 hrs on time for the screen. The picture attached my screen as almost 9 hrs. data wifi gps on and 100 % screen brightness.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Millz120:
I turned off my data before taking the picture. Rocking power saver mode all day though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 2dorr:
I have better battery after 5.1.1 but I use the battery power optimization. The stand-by is incredible and also the screen on consumption. I had Note 4 before and even the battery is smaller, the processor is more optimized. Somehow I get a little under Note 4 with the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mosesbd:
i followed this guide (partially 75%) and i get 5 SOT when huge standby time. really made me love this phone alas ...!

thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] prking07:
Your welcome!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxaarraa:
Some good tips there, thanks for sharing. I had implemented most of it. I am not rooted and don't intend to root, so skipped over some of your tips.

With 5.1.1 and it's own "greenify" features under battery settings, I am noticing a remarkable improvement since before 5.1.1. Very happy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ruben_2s:
So I have updated to 5.1.1 and still my battery life is very bad... I'm noticing a very high screen energy consumption. I am only able to get 8 hours of battery with 4 hours of SOT. (I have uni kernel installed)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mosesbd:
for me what helped alot is to turn Off all the gestures and motions in settings, and i was good to go ...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] prking07:
Thanks and hoping to get 5.1.1 soon to test. Seems a good route samsung took with the battery settings in 5.1.1. Ive said it once and i will say it again, best battery saver implemented hands down is the Sony Stamina mode. Other manufacturers should jump on something like that. Greenify is also my app of choice for battery saving.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Millz120:
Turning off Google Now cards helps a lot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elpindian:
and how do you do that?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Millz120:
Long Press the home button to open up Google Now. From the left edge swipe towards the right. A menu should come up. It might take a few swipes. In that menu go to ettings then turn off everything in voice and now cards. Make sure in voice settings you go through "ok google" settings and turn everything off.

Why this saves battery is because your microphone is always on as well as the cards which use a bunch of wifi, gps and other junk. Goodluck let me know how that goes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxaarraa:
I have to say this again because I am so impressed by it. But the "battery optimization" settings in 5.1.1 (under battery settings) that mimic greenify are doing an awesome job. I have ALL apps except inbox, messenger and google now (I am a fan of google now) frozen after 10 minutes of use, and I am getting oustanding standby.

VERY happy with 5.1.1. so far.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elpindian:
Thanks! Trying it out, let's see how much better life I get out of it.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

I don't see this option in my variant :(

Maybe Sprint left it out of the update? This sounds like something I'd use the hell out of but leave it to a US carrier to make their phones worse for consumers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tjeeeeee:
Yeah sprint seemed to have left that one out :/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cvtrial:
I've recently tried to turn off the radios not in use, turn off Wi-Fi Smart network switch, and turn Wi-Fi off during sleep. In addition have I turned off Google Now (both voice and cards), TouchWiz (atm using Nova), and several of the other tips to improve battery-life.

BUT: Is the only solution to the bad battery-life to turn off everything that is fun? What's then the point of having them? :p

BTW: The battery life seems to be a lot better with all the fun stuff turned off and deactivated. ...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] theo80:
You dont have to turn everything off just the ones that you dont use. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Apoxx:
Getting 4 hours of SoT at most. Not bad but not too good neither. But I'm ok with the batterylife.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
Most important question...how do you get an awesome battery life?

Mine is really lousy...max 2 SOT time and a lot of wakelocks as far as i can tell considering I don't have root.

I've disable as many Samsung preinstalled apps as I could without root.

There's a really big issue with WiFi when connecting to specific networks that just keep your WiFi connection running all the time and drain your battery.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Perhaps a set of things you did that made the battery last longer than it originally did.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] MarcSinger:
Just got this phone three days back. I'm not a heavy user - I don't game - but battery life, so far, has been fine with me. I wouldn't rate it highly, and I agree, it could've been better, but at the current state, it does get me through the day. Well enough, I'd say, for the average user.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
Am from South Africa. Got the S6 edge on launch.

5.0.2 battery was bad.

Just flashed official 5.1.1 uk/Ireland.

Seems a bit faster. More stable but not that much improved over battery .
