Hi,

Thank You for fast answer but i think you get me wrong..

I have working charging port i need battery connector for motherboard this one cannot be repaired

this is baked and begins to crumble :( i can replace it by myself its easy for me but need to know if there is differences between 6s and 6s edge i see pictures in google and some sites and they look the same but price differences make me doubt for example s6 connector is 1.7 $ and s6 edge is 10+ $ :( and i may need more than one :( and for s6 edge i find only in UK 3hrs of research nothing for this in the net.

P/S they are same for s6 and s6 edge and quality is same

My battery life is horrible on 5.1. Android OS is draining my battery. Stock on EE network. I've cleared the cache but to no avail.Any ideas?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Larsbjoernar:
Are you using Google Fit skanj? I've just deleted mine, and seems to get more easy through a day on one single charge now than before.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Urban Designs:
Use only the S6 edge connector, is it really worth the risk?

Also, how have you managed to break that already?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I'm not mate. I used to get really good battery life before.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] zakvoline:
I believe they are same quality but some ppl sell it much more expensive the real cost for part like this is not more than 0.05 $ just looking for someone who can confirm this and to confirm both devices have same connectors

I didn't break it :) salt water did and tanks good this connector is **** cuz if it was good now this motherboard will be much more damage.. i never swim with my phones :) but some ppl do :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Urban Designs:
Believe me, there's a reason why it's more expensive. Wholesalers/retailers wouldn't avoid listing one connector that can fit both phones, it's a selling point.

Best of luck to you

Poor

Mine was getting 3 hr and a half top.. also had these reception problems, so i got rid of it infortunately ?? i loved the device but was unlucky..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
chill man, 3.5hours of SOT is great.

Don't look at others SOT times because they;re going to extremes to get those values, including putting the phone in airplane mode when playing games, airplane mode with wifi on when browsing .. etc
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
except that most of the other phones these days get more than 5 hours of SOT. And 3,5 compared to 5 hours is a huge difference for busy people.

I like edge also but I am pretty sure that I will change to Motorola Style. Just want to see the reviews for the camera and battery life first.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
please name 1 phone without tweaks that gets 5+ SOT. (keep in mind the size difference)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
Xperia Z3 easily past 5. Usually more than 6. No-root or anything else. Just straight out of package.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
yea, but Z3 is huge compared to S6 Edge so it's not a fair comparison.

I tell you anoter phone, Mate 7, but also huge so please dude, stop complaining, buy whatever phone it fits you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
Z3 is pretty much same size as edge? not much difference. I know it since I have both.

Z3 compact is actually much smaller and it has even better battery than Z3 full size.

And isn't this forum about telling experiences and not just thinking that all is good and dandy while it is a fact that S6 edge would be a fantastic phone if they put in a bigger battery (and optimized their software)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
dude!!! u can't win this argument, please stop it.

1st of all Z3 is bigger with lower specs than S6e.

2nd of all Z3c is smaller indeed but even with lower specs than the S6e.

You can't compare these phones and period.

I bet you're one of these guys that is never satisfied.

The S6 Edge even right now is the highest spec'd phone outhere and will be until next year.

Ofc is the screen resolution is lower and the cpu is lower + having stamina mode activated you get insanely amount of SOT, why didn't you bought the Z3 in the first place? just to complain now?

and yes, it is bigger the Z3.

I suggest you wait for the Z5.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
I didn't realize that we are arguing here? I thought we are having conversation about S6 edge battery life here. And it is bad.

And yes I did buy Z3 first. I liked S6 edge design and camera so also got that one.

And yes I am considering also Z5 or then I will go for Moto X Style.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
we are not arguing :)

cheers
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] zakvoline:
replace battery with 3800 or 3250mah i think i saw somewhere :) aftermarket ofc
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skarpass:
happy
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxaarraa:
I am very surprised people are still complaining about battery life on the S6 Edge. I thought 5.1.1 fixed all that, and definitely COF8.

I have had outstanding battery life as I posted the details of earlier in this thread. I eventually had to send that phone in for warranty exchange as the home button was sticking. The replacement they sent me is even better!

I am on tmobile, 5.1.1 + COF8, unrooted and follow most of the settings/tweaks in the link below, but leave BT and google now always on with high accuracy location mode. At the end of a 12 hour work day, I have 70% or greater battery left.

ehh what are you going to do? Phones now in days are better but very battery life. I remember when i had a blackberry it use to last me days before charging.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] osmosizzz:
I see you have the 925F. Which version of the edge do you have?"thags some pretty good usage actually. As for me, I think strongly think the bad battery life is due to software optimization. More updates will likely Come soon. I'm having simple issues like snapchat videos clipping and snapchat is a very popular app. But now just waiting for custom roms to aid with battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pure+:
Word going around Twitter is that wifi calling is the main reason for the high cellular standby. Disable and should be significantly better.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChristianBale:
Doesn't make a difference for me. It's either all WiFi off or nothing. Just turning off WiFi calling still causes significant Cell Standby battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pure+:
Well regardless hopefully now that it's a known issue they will push an update to fix before the new week is over. Will be interesting to see if other carriers have that issue since TMO is the only carrier that does wifi calling.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] akong702:
Can confirm, had WiFi turned off yesterday and cell standby didn't even pop up. Still average battery life though. Google services and Android systems still took 1 and 2 as main culprit of battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] luisrcastillo:
I agree. I turned it off as well and the cell standby drain is no more. Somewhat annoying but manageable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
Interesting, like you mentioned, it's not popping up in drain anymore, but the battery life seems to be the same, just with different main battery exhausters...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] i7icegy:
So I've had wifi on all day today and no cell standby - no WiFi calling. Will update later with pictures. I messed with a few settings not sure if that helped.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] haqone:
Here is what I got on LTE, no WiFi, WiFi calling off. Few YouTube videos and mostly texts and Web browsing.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] i7icegy:
Lol no.. lots of reddit, youtube kids, youtube, ballstreams, web browsing, some plex, and random stuff. Lollipop kind of strange, doesn't capture all that info. Funny thing is, I didn't even use CNN! So I went into data usage and disabled the background data for CNN.

Ok, so I deleted some apps and the phones battery was good, but now it sucks. I still haven't returned my iPhone 6 to t mobile but I'm thinking of switching back. I need the phone to last me a whole day. The iPhone 6 would be at 40-50% when I would get home with moderate use, now, it's around 15%...I can't deal with that. On standby it's just terrible, the iPhone wouldn't even go down 1% in standby, this thing just went down from 90% to 73% in 4hrs! Smh.. I don't feel like I should be changing settings to make the phone last a day, it should be like that by default. All I'm thinking of right now is getting rid of this S6 and going back to iPhone 6.

S6 Edge Battery Life according to GSMArena.. seems great to me
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] i7icegy:
Here are my settings:

+ Turn off VoLTe

+ Turn off WiFi calling

+ Turn off edge features except Edge people(found the existing features to be gimmicky. Who has time to wipe your fingers across the edge of your screen just to check notifications. Leaving it on leaves the digitalizer on always.

+ disabled background data usage on apps like cnn. It used up 3% of my battery when I didn't even open it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Krokogator:
Guys you cannot mention Z3 or M8 because (as Mr. Avatar says) they aren't S6 or S6 edge neither! xDDD

Damn so funny. But seriously, Z3 is the perfect example. You can compare theese two devices. You say, Z3 has lower specs, so newer phones should last less than previous models coz of "better specs"? I HOPE NOT, seriously.

Newer technology should improve battery life (newer technology process 28nm vs 14nm) .
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Drewxke:
I just updated to 5.1 yesterday on the S6 Edge. Fully charged I unplugged soon as the update completed. I then factory reset and started playing clash of clans, watching youtube videos, sending messages, taking pictures , i recorded a video, did a little web browsing and was on social sites posting pictures and updating statuses between instagram, facebook and Google +. I did not charge my battery when I went to sleep and im still using the phone now. The current battery level is %53. The battery has been going for 15h 34m 49s. The phone says I still have approximately 5h 46m left.

I can attest that this phone has better battery life than my Nexus 5 and my LG G2. My wife has the LG G4 and im pretty positive she has better battery life than my S6 but I knew that when I purchased the phones. =P

Any way I just wanted to post my feedback. LATER!!

Quick Question: Where can I check for SOT since last charge??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Li4m79:
my battery is well bad at the minute... i do have a lot syncing though and regular email checkups (pop3s) which i need for work.. but for example, today,

9.00am take my phone off charge battery 100%

facebook and game for about 20mins

10.40am I get the bus to work and listen to music for 20mins

11.00am get to work, put phone down, maybe check emails but not a lot.

by 12.30pm i notice my battery is at 58%

:( really love my phone but the battery is nothing compared to my old S4....

Running full stock at the moment ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
Screen on time will be in Smart manager under battery use you should see "screen" listed as one of things using battery .

Has anyone here owned a nexus 4 before the s6 edge? How's the battery life in comparison?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
Well since Nexus 4 is just horrible with its batterylife I am sure that you will be happily surprised with S6 edge. But Nexus 4 is probably one of the only phones in the world able to give you a happy surprise on this section.

Also camera will be so huge jump that you will be smiling.

Hi guys. Bought my 128gb g925i version a week ago. I was getting around 4 hours SoT with very light usage when my phone was on 5.1.1 stock.

After flashing custom Rom and kernel today i tested my battery by playing a lot and got almost 4 hours SoT. Should i be happy or HD games don't consume battery as much as i expected? Here is my setup:

Latest XtreStoLite Deodexed with some Samsung apps installed using Aroma add-on package.

UniKernel v8 battery friendly profile.

Location is GPS only.

Auto sync is on.

Full brightness when i was playing and Auto brightness/set on center of the slider/ for the rest of usage.

Used facebook from Chrome.

Played Asphalt 8 about an hour and Walking dead over 2 hours with full brightness.

Data was on all the time.

No xposed, just hibernated user apps using Greenify free.

One thing that i don't understand is I used Chrome for only 23 minutes yet it says Chrome used 36% of my battery. Can someone explain it to me?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonas_lobo:
I simply was using the most of it, playing games, videos, used a LOT of flipboard (watching youtube videos, instagram, and facebook by there. The version is the one instaled only by playstore, not the native one in samsung ) texting and things like that for 6 hours in a row xD

This phone has a powerfull baterry as you can see, but for some reason in standby it will consume more battery than most in my opinion (ex. my Lg g2, the g4 uses also more battery in standby)

Maybe because of processor and ram idk

Even so in a normal day i have praticly 4h30, 5h a day screen on. All stock, not even rooted

Glad if i could help you

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tallazzPilipino:
I know my my N5 has a larger capacity battery, but it's tremendously better than my S6e even with its stock ROM (the Note). my S6e with a debloated custom ROM gets about 6 hrs with frequent usage. that's just browsing and messaging on top of having a bunch of apps disabled and using CM to block other active apps from running in the background (no syncing) till I open them, and having Power Saving on full-time and sometimes being in greyscale. and I'm pretty consistent with only charging the battery once I'm below 10% regardless of the time of day.

now, even with a 3700 mAh battery case on my S6e, I get about 8-10 hrs total including the internal battery (because I can't run both sdcard and external battery at the same time). my N5d can do just as well if not better. at least in both their current state and condition.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxaarraa:
What is your point? That your Note with its larger battery has better battery life? That would be pretty obvious.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tallazzPilipino:
idk if my N5 has a better battery life. i'm hoping at least 2 years.

even if two smart devices have the same battery capacity, that doesn't mean they will automatically perform equally.

i said i know it has a larger capacity battery. but it's only 400 mAh larger in capacity, yet has a tremendously longer runtime. even with the addition of a 3700 mAh capacity battery for my S6e (2600 + 3700 = 6300), it doesn't last much longer relative to my N5's battery runtime. now wait for it.. factor in all the power savings i'm applying towards my S6e (with battery case), and my stock N5 still seems to have a pretty impressive battery runtime. that's the point. if it hasn't clicked in yet, my N5 just seems to have a better runtime per mA.

eat a Snickers or something.
