Parallax is only possible when TouchWiz is your default launcher.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rapier:
That was what I wanted to say also. It's a Launcher functionality not ROM's one. I don't use TW, I use Nova and there is called "wallpaper scrolling".

On mine the problem is with battery consumption when i am not using the device (standby).

It seems i get really good screen on battery life (at least for an android phone!).

Got 3h of actual usage (browsing most of the time, no gaming) with 50% of battery remaining. Wifi was on all the time.

Some facts:

- The screen brightness it's at about 20-30% (i'm using auto brightness).

- device is not rooted

- using google launcher, google keyword and android material theme

- google now, google location history disabled but still preety bad standby battery life. top consumers were android system and google play services

- location is enabled (mostly for smart lock with trusted locations)

- i keep wifi always on, and it's on wifi most of the time (work, home)

- using 3g/hspda. I don't use lte because the signal it's worse

Android OS keeps my phone awake

Hello, I got a major problem with Android OS keeping my phone awake, I have tried everything from resseting the device and applying some tweaks but still no luck
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] CandyAndy:
Well good luck. I had exactly the same. After factory reset I got excellent battery life. But it got back to horrible after a while. I got so tired of this that I ordered nexus 6p and hope that bigger battery and less bloat will do it for me

I've tried everything with my S6 Edge. Standby is insanely bad still regardless how many factory resets or updates or disabled packages etc.

Took my iPhone 6S off the charger today same time as my S6Edge and haven't used the S6 Edge and the battery on the Edge is 92%

While the iPhone is at 97% and that's with usage.

As much as I'm not an IOS fan can Sammy please just sort this damn standby drain out.

Seriously the edge is so brilliant just need to sort out the standby drain
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
Yes, the standby drain is stupid, I mean mine drains 8% per night so this translated to ~1% hour in standby not touching the phone at all.

It's retarded.

So what I do now is to disable the Location over night to reduce the drain tonight I will also disable WIFI overnight to see if there is an improvement.

What I saw is that the WIFI activated drains ~7mah and the location around ~5mah so if you disable both you should have a standby drain of ~0.2%/h which is the greatest thing you can have on a Sammy phone, these are no Sony phones which are excellent in battery management.

try and let me know.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
Have done the same hey...

But the most annoying thing is the standby drain during the day while just leaving it and doing work...

That's the problem ...

Phone can be just left without anything on besides wifi and set to sync only email every 1 hour and tapatalk notifications.

4G is off

Nova launcher is installed

Bluetooth off

Location off

Brightness is on 20% manual

Set a dark theme with black wallpaper

I don't have Facebook or Instagram

Package Disabler pro is installed and all bloat ware is disabled.

I'm not even using the phone much hey.

Keeps draining [emoji58]
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
well, try first to clean the cache from the boot menu if that's not working then factory reset...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cavags5:
I don't know how is the edge, but the S6 have a good standby time.

If i leave charge before sleep with 100% could wake up with same 100 or 99.

Usually 100 to 99 after remove charger last 6 to 7h.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
6 to 7 hours use is not good at all man

unless that's screen on time you're talking about
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] vjeta:
Same here but with the s6 edge, stand by is awesome, 1% in 7 or 8 h. SOT in my case also awesome, between 5.5 and 6.5 h with 4G and easily 1h more with wifi, amazing!!

I have screen brightness on 45 - 50%, location disabled.

Also have some bloatware disabled but not much, I have whatsapp, 1 gmail account, 1 linkedin account, 1 twitter account, wallapop, samsung account,... all of these with sync on! Best phone I've ever seen in this aspect.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
Done all of the above countless times.

Works for a while then goes back to the same issue.

sorry to hear that !

I think everything will get sorted out once Android Marshmallow gets released on it. So will just wait and see for now

I am thinking the same, google ****ed us all with 5.0 and 5.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Harshaanl:
I don't think it's Google hey

I believe it's Samsung and their optimizations .

Also blame apps that we use for not ironing out bugs etc .

So varies user by user depending on their apps
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
well on Samsung it has always been the same ... I had to root every phone in order to make it work as it should. This one I didn't root because I want to sell it soon :))
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
You so lucky, I used to get very good battery life hey, but after the recent update, nothing has been going well for me, Android OS keeps draining the battery, keeps my phone awake apparently, so overnight with Wifi On and Location On, I lose about 8%, usually it would be one, when i was still on 5.0.2... may I ask which firmware are you currently on? I have G925FXXU3QOJ5
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] vjeta:
Latest XXU3COI9 from PHE
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
S6 battery life is dismal I ended buying a adaptive fast car and spare charger for work.

Smaller battery just to copy the iPhone - wrong move.

After months living with the S6 edge it's clear it needs a case and they are all plastic.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
I see that's an older build, just updated to the latest one OJ5 (build date: 02.10.15) will be testing overnight to see if it gets better or not
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gc180:
Since I was stuck at home for the past few days, I decided to do an experiment.

I have an S6 Edge for a over a week now. Coming from the ordinary S6.

Here is my battery life test. I do not use the Facebook app. Only Whatsapp, Gmail sync and BBM.

No Wifi, only 4G.

Brightness: auto at lowest level (more than sufficient for daily use)

COH5 South Africa firmware, stock, not rooted.

All pics stored on photobucket, hopefully everyone can see them.

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Here's the next one. This time I set the brightness to manual at the lowest level and power saving mode on. Phone was a little slow in power saving mode obviously.

My S6 couldn't match the my S6 Edge screen on time. I was lucky to get around 3.5 to 4 hours SOT.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] vjeta:
This was from previous version XX2CO2.

All sync on for whatsapp, twitter, linked in, gmail, one drive & samsung account.

Wifi on, 4g off, no power saving and screen brightness manual at 50% more or less. Amazing!

And now with latest XX3COI9 it's even better, more or less 1h SOT for every 15% decrease in battery with 4g!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Skhulile:
Look at how crappy mine is

You guys are really like look at mine, with the latest South African ROM OJ5.

With WIFI ON and Connected, Location ON, Mobile Data OFF, through the night without me even touching it, my battery dropped with 11% in 4hrs and as you can see android OS and Systen are sucking it badly, i have tried everything from disabling apps , factory reset etc. Now im thinking of enabling every app on Package Disabler to see if its something i disabled that's causing this huge drain. But if anyone anyone can help I would would be really happy
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] vjeta:
Amazing!!!!!!

EDIT: disconnected yesterday evening from the charger, used phone for an hour with wifi (sync on), disconnect wifi and 4g and go to sleep at 23:00. The screenshots are from this morning at 7:00 when I woke up. 0% lost in 8h sleep time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avatar_ro:
that's really nice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sahirhussain:
cant replicate it on some days

this is after turning brightness down to 25% with mobile data on-wifi off when sleep, gps on, sync everything on and no facebook app! i think more than 5 hours of screen on time is very good for this phone.

The Galaxy S6 Edge is also wireless charging enabled, and it's compatible with most wireless charging pads and mats currently on the market, which makes it easier to refuel.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] n4naveen:
very good battery life

Surprised to see what removing Facebook and Messenger app does to battery life.

Previously used to get about 4:30 hr of SOT.

Now these are the new results , everything stock and did mostly browsing in chrome , briefing app , some photos and music, very few calls.. brightness set at 15% automatic. Never in power saving mode. Mostly on WiFi and sometimes on H+. Almost forgot to mention , I'm using Note 2 's charger which is relatively slow takes 2 hr to charge fully but never heats up during the charge. So , I thought it should be easy on battery.

Loving this device right from day 1. My only problem is , while typing with single hand, the edge screen kinda touches with the skin of the palm and giving me a lot of mistouches which is very annoying with wrong typing. Please someone give me a solution for this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Lmello:
i think this is a problem of all.. try tu use a cover that make thickness between the bord of the phone and the skin of the palm.

Just got my S6 Edge 2 days ago, coming from the champion in battery life, Sony Z3 Compact. First full day with the phone I got...

- 4:30h SOT

- 1:30h of phone calls

- 16:30h of Bluetooth (on all day)

- 3G on all day

- Maybe 5/6 hours of wi-fi

- Side screen on

- Locations off

It is not too bad is it?

I don't ever turn off my mobile data, even with the mobile data turned on if I use the wi-fi on top of that will it use more or less battery compared to using 3G only?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Goku80:
That's quite good. I turn off data when am at home and just use WiFi. Now when am out and about then I use my data. If you use both I say it will use more battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ranop11:
Usually get 2 days battery life with 4-5 SOT ALWAYS!! It lasts me better then Note 4, this is a ****ing beast phone, i don't know how can people say it has bad battery life, if i use it hardcore then i get 1 day battery with 6 sot, so i am very happy ^^

Fast Charging capability is Great

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S6 G925F , and been using for about a week, I upgraded the set from my Samsung Galaxy S3, what I have noticed battery wise is normal internet phone calls , etc, the battery lasts a good 12 hours, if you do videos and music and games, will drain the battery more, and will probably give you 6 to 8 hours a day, but what I really love is the fast charging capability, you leave it plugged in for 1 hour, and u get 50% charge 2 hours 100%, if not less time, the old S3 would take ages to charge.

But what you can do is buy an external battery pack, and solves the can't find the socket problem, easy

I'm having big issues with my phone dying at night, having really big battery drain. Can anyone help? See pics. I keep everything on (data, wifi, location, except blue tooth). I'm also having issues losing my wifi connection at night.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] XQC:
After for using it half a year I am absolutely not impressed - but I'm coming from the Z3 Compact, which is hard to beat.

I've tested many roms but regardless what I do the battery dies after 10hrs or 2hrs SOT. Especially when I am using the phone I can watch the battery percentages melting.

Only thing that's keeping me for now is the superb camera quality. Wouldn't be the Z5C be so bad in that area, I would probably go back to Sony.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Goku80:
Have you disabled any bloatware or it could be you have an app that is running in the background that gives you the drain.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] devis:
I find the battery life OK in my G925F. Been using it since Thursday and I have had fairly heavy use. For what it is, i think this is working OK. And I'm always near a charger as well, office car or home so not much of an issue. I will give it a proper test during the weekend.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] SleepyBlueCat:
quite good

i come from asus zenfone 5 and i seriously never wanna go back. first I've panicked about the "little" battery but with a few modifications (nfc turned of, scanning not available when wifi off...) battery life is doing great! lasts at least a full day with LTE always on not even uses 1% when I'm sleeping! zenfone would be almost dead if i didn't plug it in at night...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lakigucci:
Battery life is doing okay so far. Have offcourse disabled all apps I do not use. And toggle wifi/4g as needed. Location always off unless needed.

Less SOT

Hi people.. I haver a great question... In myopinion my cellphone have very little bit of SOT.. 2h30...3h MAX.

Can u say some tricks ?? For more time of SOT ?? I have always 4G On... 1h/1h30 Time calls... bluetooth of and wifi Sometimes on but major of time 4g only...

Help me :/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cavags5:
You say always on since when,

With use or leave it on all day for when you need or to see notifications.

Sot is very relative.

If for example you get a lot Spotify and calls your sot will decrease i little.

I have 920f and im finishing some tests and will post everything here and the other post for the 920f the battery is the same.

Because i have most of the days the same use i can test everything.

And i think i try everything.

In stock of course.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lukilug:
I think the battery life really got better since the 5.1.1 update.

When using Spotify + Facebook + Youtube and more relatively often the battery lasts about 13 hours.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dimkit:
I had problem with battery life too. And the problem was inbox by Google. By the time I uninstall inbox and went back to stock Gmail application. My battery life normalised again. I gain about 50 minutes more SOT by just uninstalling the inbox app.

I think this is possibly the best we can get out of a charge with stock rom, no root, etc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pratz852:
That's without wifi?!

Could you share your settings?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mariodiniz21:
For more than a month I researched every site and video to maximize the battery and tested alot, I don't even know everything I already did.

Yes, no wi-fi, 3G on all the time, some phone calls and bluetooth on some hours as you can see. Screen light auto-on at 50% to 70%.

The most important thing if you think you have battery drain is to uninstall updates on Google Play Services and update it again from the Play Store. Also some apps will always update on the background, so for Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, etc. restrict the Mobile Data, strangely you will still receive push notifications anyway so it's a win-win situation because it won't keep the radio on all the time but will work anyways. Just don't do this with Whatsapp and Viber because you won't get push notifications.

These two things are the most important, but there are always alot of small things that you can do, if you want to ask it is ok. Ah, I don't use power saving mode, it doesn't save much battery and the phone gets awful.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pratz852:
Hmm. I did all that. But I'm getting the mobile data radio bug...

I don't know if it's just a wrong reporting issue or really draining the battery.

I could get those stats maybe on wifi,but not on 3g.

I tried all the other things you did as well.. thanks for your input
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mariodiniz21:
Everyone has the mobile radio bug on stock rom that is why you have to restrict background data usage on the apps that are using the most battery, in my case it was facebook messenger, chrome and skype with around 4 or 5 hours of active mobile radio every day with almost no usage. Fortunately I restricted the data in all and they work perfectly, minus whatsapp and since I use it alot I prefer to have the radio on 5 hours a day but get the push notifications. You can buy disabler pro and disable some bloatware and don't sync google stuff, it won't do a big difference but everything helps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rapier:
If by "mobile data bug" you mean having cell signal showing up on top of the battery drain apps list, just disable IMS Service, IMS Settings and ImsLogger+ via Package Disabler Pro and bug will be gone (you can just disable first one but all three are related)

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] d@rkl0rd:
The longest battery life I had with s6 edge, wifi on and connected all the time, 1 hour of browsing, 6 hours of video playback
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Neur0Nerd:
What is this bug you are talking about ? I have done some tests with my phone and I can disable everything, the battery drains super fast (and it's not calibrated well, the last 10% go way fast). So when I activate Airplane mode and have Wifi and Sync on, the battery doesn't drain fast so I assume the battery drain is related to a wrong way of sim network reception. Is that what you are talking about ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tenxo:
I think it's volte more than Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi calling causing the problem. I have had it off and no cell standby drain, still not get stroller battery life though, as I'm not getting good sleep yet. S6 non edge.

Whatever you've done... Does that mean that the camera now loads much slower on the double tap of the home button? And why does it come up as cell standby?

No way I'm giving up that camera launch speed.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
I'm becoming more and more impressed with the phone as time goes on. It's beating my previous QHD phones - Nexus 6 and Note 4. Samsung has really knocked the ball out of the park on the phone. Anyone on the fence about battery life shouldn't be. The only thing I've done to improve it is keep WiFi off. I have VoLTE, auto brightness, GPS, etc all turned on. Keep in mind that is when my phone died so I just freshly booted it back up after charging.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] russianzilla:
I have to agree with your assessment. I thought it was Wi-Fi at first too, but just to check I turned off VoLTE, turned on Wi-Fi, charged it to 100% and then left it on battery overnight to measure standby. It lost about 10% over the course of seven hours, and even then according to battery stats cell standby was only 1% of the usage. I still agree with some others though, even when cell standby stops being an issue, something else steps in to claim the spot. Right now it seems like Google Services is the main culprit, though I have no idea why. It might be Google Now and its location requests, but I really don't want to disable it because I'm getting tired of disabling features I use just to save some battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
With turning off Wi-Fi... Do you need to reboot the phone afterwards like some people are mentioning? Or am I correct in saying that is not the cause of the random cell standby drain, and you're just turning it off to save extra battery?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
Yep, I've gotta reboot or get massive cell standby drain. I don't get the drain unless I turn on WiFi. I've not owned a phone (until now) that I kept WiFi off to save battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] levon9:
that sounds like a bug I hope they can fix via a patch. If there's no WiFi available and it keeps searching, that's one thing, but if it's draining with local WiFi available that's another. Plus one of the reasons I switched to TMO is their WiFi calling, so I sure hope this gets fixed.
