I've noticed the cell standby issue too. I set my phone to Airplane Mode last night while I slept and the battery barely drained at all. I read somewhere about how Samsung wasn't using the Qualcomm LTE modems in the galaxy s6 and wondered if there may have been compatibility issue here in the United States. I put this post in a different discussion:

I lost 20% battery last night. I rooted and uninstalled most of the apps that I found useless, including the Amazon app. :(

So far battery is pretty bad on otherwise an awesome phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
The problem is Wi-Fi. I really don't know how many more times this needs to be mentioned. You will not see any major cell standby if you leave Wi-Fi off. I keep VoLTE, Bluetooth, GPS, and everything on and am currently seeing about 5 hours SOT over the course of about 20 hours. You people need to stop overanalyzing things. I haven't disabled any of the apps and I'm getting this. As mentioned above, there's no point in owning this device if you're just gonna cripple it's abilities.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
I understand what you're saying and agree... But wifi is one of the main abilities!! Haha. Especially for people who live in areas where there is no 3G/4G
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ForgottenGuardian:
With wifi off my battery is still terrible. It fixed the cell standby problem, but the phone still struggles to make it through a full day.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jonathan3579:
That's true but people need to let their voices be heard by both Samsung and T-Mobile that something is wrong with the phone. I wish we had an easier way of getting this out there other than this thread.

In your case, you very well might just have a bum battery. My phone doesn't struggle at all to make it through a full day. I can't kill this thing fast if I tried.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] levon9:
Agreed .. I have good reception with TMO everywhere, but my office in the basement doesn't get any cell reception, but has wifi and one of the main reasons for switching to TMO was to be able to use wifi calling. In my few days, turning on wifi sucks the battery life out. Leaving it off (and not being able to use wifi calling, or my free data at home via my own ISP) gives me good battery life.

There better be a software fix in the works - wifi calling is one of the major points TMO pushes, so I believe it's in their own interest to fix this, sooner than later.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Is this issue just affecting T-mobile variants of the phone then? Or is it too early to tell as others haven't been delivered / tested well enough yet?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] levon9:
I think TMO was the first to release/ship the phones, but I read today that others have started too. It'll be interesting to see if they report the same problems.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Yeah I think some people in USA have been receiving AT&T devices today
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] aaronc_98:
Battery is killing me

I cant seem to make it past 4 pm. The usual culprits here- android system, Google Play services. SOT less than 2 hours. They gotta fix this ASAP or TMO is getting a return in 16 days. I have tried what has been suggested in the thread to date but same results...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
The problem is wifi partially, but even without wifi i was having massive drain, where android OS or google services simply replaced the cell standby for the same amount of bad battery.

Caught amazon crashing twice and constantly reopening. i think the Amazon app that is bundled in with the phone doesn't work well. force closing it constantly has made a BIG battery difference for me so far.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tomwestley402:
I found this post in another discussion. I followed the directions on it and the " total connection time" portion froze just like it suggested. whether or not this will affect the battery life... it's too early to tell. I'll have to wait until I charge it fully again and look at it from there.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
at school right now so cant try this, but if anyone has the time to try this, try it: Keep wifi calling off, turn ON wifi, disable AMAZON and most built in apps that can be disabled (whatsapp, facebook, etc.) and see if the drain remains?

I have personally verified AMAZON causing issues where it is reopening randomly, crashing randomly, and sucking out battery (The last part only shown in Greenify, NOT in usual battery stats or in GSAM, those only show it as Google Services or Android OS)

Try it out, maybe our real issue is in some bundled apps that arent behaving.

EDIT: I also tried turning off and on VOLTE, no difference at all other than degraded call quality and less 4G LTE connectivity time, but battery remained exactly the same. for now, killing Amazon and keeping wifi and wifi calling off seems to be working.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Blanko6:
This damn t-mobile phone just don't sleep. I remember using this app a few years ago and decided to try it and it seems it never goes into deep sleep. I have every feature off , no WiFi , and been getting no more then 2 hours on. I love the phone but can't deal with this battery life, most likely will return it for the M9 before the 16 days are up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] callen2011:
So I rooted my device, hten followed a guide, that Instructed me to replace two files in the system/framework folder, services.jar and services.odex, i backed them up, but like a fool i backed them up in the same folder, which i can't access, I can restore from CWM and i was actually hoping someone had a system recovery that i could borrow, since i can't seem to figure out how to change the files back within my cwm backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] koivth:
Okay, slow down. You can fix this. There are only a few steps:

1. Download the stock odexed rom. You can find it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712466565

2. Extract the stock rom.

3. Navigate to the system/framework folder

4. Copy services.jar and services.odex to your phone (download folder or anywhere on your sdcard is fine)

5. Since you are rooted, you can use a root file explorer to copy those files to your system/framework folder on your phone. Locate the two files you copied from the stock odex rom on your computer. Paste these into system framework, and overwrite the two existing files (you can use ES file manager or other root browser to accomplish this)

That's it! There are many other ways to do this, but this is probably the simplest.

I'd just flash a custom rom with hotspot though

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] GldRush98:
I agree there.

Hands down the best IM program for WM.

I've been using the latest version on WM6 and it works great.

My only complaint is that on reboot some times it's today plugin won't load. This isn't WM6 though because it happened on my WM5 device too.

It seems to do it a lot less often in this new version though.

Very good app.

I believe it's the standard OzIM program, but if I'm not mistaking, I think it uses SMS instead of internet to send/recieve messages.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] marscandybars:
Does it need internet?

So, if OZ Messenger uses text messaging, do you still need to be subscribed to an internet plan? Cuz doesn't the program still connect to go online first (wap.voicestream.com thru your connection settings)

I spoke to a t-mobile rep, and they said they "think" you need the internet plan for it to work. But if thats the case, you have to pay for an internet plan AND a text messaging plan? Catch 22 if you ask me. But its hard to really trust their word, cuz their representative are all mindless idiots, im so sick of dealing with them.

But if indeed it uses the internet plan to go online first, then you might as well buy IM+ as it is 10x better and instant messages come in real time.

Please advise :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ANTC:
you don't need a data plan but you will need your connections setup because of the texting..Which is VERY slow

Just get IM+ if you want pay for it or just find the crack..Just not on this forum.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] WDS Josh:
it won't work for me on my MDA. but i only have the t-mobileweb plan with the proxy and not the total internet plan. IM+ also won't work either...well AOL will because I can specify for it to work on port 25 but everything else won't work because the ports are blocked with the proxy.

[X 2014 General] gabo_e30:
With all the hype I thought I would start a discussion comparing the two phones and discussing is it a worthy enough upgrade.

From what I've tag the camera is pretty amazing, battery life meh, and glad on both sides (don't know how it'll hold up)...

What do you guys think? Would you give up the Moto features, vanilla android and fast updates? (and a design that doesn't look like an iPhone - for the normal 6-)
[X 2014 General] RyanTX:
The capacitive buttons and the home button are enough to turn me off. I've never liked them. It's almost bad enough in my mind that even if the thing could solve global warming I wouldn't buy it because of the buttons.
[X 2014 General] chrisrozon:
Assuming the longer term reviews come in supporting the initial impressions, I'm ditching for an S6 as soon as the "on contract" deals start showing up. I've got kids, I'm sick of the MX camera blowing 4 our of every 5 pictures I try to take.
[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
I'm running the 5.1 soak test and the camera is leaps&bounds better than 5.0
[X 2014 General] rogeriorp:
It is a unfair comparison, different generations. Both phones look great, both are lightning fast as reports claim and each have their own advantage (hardware agaisn't user experience).
[X 2014 General] Wutang200:
I absolutely hate Samsung phones! They don't even get considered when I'm in the market for a new phone as I prefer the clean vanilla look and feel so normally only look at Nexus type devices. Some of my reason are below:

-Horrible Touchwiz interface

-Poorly developed interface means lots of lag

-Crap build quality

-Very bad depreciation (I guarantee Samsung will release a new more powerful version of the S6 in 6 months after this becomes available)

-Copycats (the S6 looks almost the same as the iPhone 6 from the bottom!!!)

Not sure what people see in Samsung phones!
[X 2014 General] Rogoshin:
If I had the money I would switch. The Moto has horrible haptic feedback, and I have to reboot often. Hope the update makes it better.
[X 2014 General] gammite:
who leaves haptic feedback on. really? lol.....
[X 2014 General] Paddington:
I don't necessarily hate TouchWiz, but I prefer the Nexus/Moto X experience to it for sure. I run mostly Google apps, so I just feel the residual effects of TouchWiz (dialer, settings, etc.).

I do hate the lag. I also hate the 200 apps that Samsung and AT&T piled into my GS5. A Pure Edition Moto X has made me so much happier. I've been a Nexus guy in the past, but the Nexus 6 was just too big, plus I am starting to love the Moto X features, especially double twist for camera. I heavily disliked the Moto X 2013--the 2nd gen is a major improvement.

I disagree with the depreciation comment to an extent. Sure, if you buy it brand new, it may depreciate a tad, but I bought a GS5 for $250 with an Otterbox in November and sold it last week without the Otterbox for $275. I cleared about $12 after Swappa and PayPal fees (the guy picked it up, no shipping). So I actually made a few bucks to use the phone for a few months.

I completely disagree that the GS6 looks anything like the iPhone 6, especially the GS6 Edge.

The Samsung devices appeal to a lot of people. XDA users are by far the minority of Android users. My mother still loves her GS3 and is super excited about upgrading to a GS6 Edge. My sister loved her GS3 and loves her GS5. I actually bought my girlfriend a GS4 as a present on the day it came out because I thought that more appropriate for her than my Nexus devices I had at the time. We are currently discussing whether or not she would like to upgrade to the GS6 Edge in a couple of months.

I agree with this. It is a little unfair to compare the GS6 with Moto X 2014. It is much more fair to compare the Moto X 2014 to the GS5, as that is considered the same generation. You also have to consider that Moto X 2014 intentionally sacrifices top of the line hardware for other gimmicks, such as Moto maker and lower prices.

I hate the physical button with two capacitive buttons. I jumped to Galaxy Nexus years ago because I was so tired of capacitive buttons, and the physical button is significantly worse. I just came from a GS5, and it drove my crazy. I only had it because my firm made me. As soon as they gave me permission to choose my own phone, I went to Moto X.

No offense to Rogoshin, but I agree. Haptic feedback is terrible in itself. It isn't the Moto X, it is the haptic feedback in general. Just turn it off.
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
I had a chance to play with the GS6 at Best Buy the other day:

Pros:

-Improved construction. This doesn't mean much since Samsung was catching up to basically every one else. In-hand feel is not as good as the X. It's still a flat slab, it doesn't contour to your hand.

-Fast switching between apps. The NAND on this thing is insanely quick.

-Better camera (for some). If you look at most of the picture comparison tests done between multiple phones, you really have to scrutinize to see the majority of differences. If your camera phone pictures are crap, you mostly don't know what you're doing. That's not to say that there isn't a difference, but to the average consumer I'd argue they'd be hard pressed to find huge differences.

-Screen calibration is instantly noticeable, and it's BRIGHT for an AMOLED.

-Touch screen response time is fast. I forgot the name of the term.

Cons:

-It's long. Wasted space up top and down at the bottom.

-It still has touchwiz. Even if it's been simplified, the theme is still more or less teenage mutant ninja turtles once you pull down the quick tiles.

-Chrome is choppier/jankier on it than on our X. The Exynos XXXX that they're using still doesn't provide for a fast enough experience on chrome relative to our older SOC and lower 1080p resolution. Hopefully moto sticks with 1080p, the new SOCs aren't up to par yet.

-Speaker is meh. The front-facing one on the X is still better.

-You can't wave at it to wake it up. To me, any phone that you still have to pick up and press the power button to see what's going on feels so 2012.

-Come Android 5.2, everyone's going to ***** and moan about having to wait for it to be updated.

All in all, it's decent, but it's still just another phone. It doesn't add anything new to the experience.

To me it's X > S6 > M9
[X 2014 General] Paddington:
To address the bolded points, I could not take a picture for crap with the GS5. Everyone complains about the Moto X camera, but my pictures are much better. The pictures I took on the GS5 always looked skewed and weird. Depending on the angle I held the phone at, I could add or subtract 40 pounds to myself with the front-facing camera. My girlfriend loves the camera on her GS4, and the GS5 got good reviews on its camera, so I think I am just terrible at taking smartphone pictures. The Moto X's camera is so simple that my pictures end up coming out better on it despite it getting generally negative reviews when compared to other flagships.

As to the 5.2 comment, that is a major drawing point to these pure(r) Android devices for me. The AT&T GS5 has still not been upgraded to 5.0, despite the Nexus devices getting 5.1 and Moto X 2014 being right behind them. I know Verizon pushed the update out for their GS5 a month ago, but that's still way too late for someone used to the Nexus world.

I know I am discussing the GS5 here, not the GS6, but I think these comments are universally applicable.
[X 2014 General] gabo_e30:
I enjoy my Moto x a lot. Love the Moto actions, the feel in the hand and the Moto voice.

Today I started having problems with the X. It restarts randomly (maybe bc new update of greenify) and battery just took a dump after one said restart. (gonna check battery calibration)

The camera is another area of concern... I have problems taking macro photos...

But overall the x is a great phone... Don't know if it'll be justified to move to the s6.

It is a great phone though... Need to see it in person
[X 2014 General] chrisrozon:
The problem with the Moto X isnt taking normal pictures, its low light and fast moving subjects that completely screw it up. All the initial reports so far are that the gs 6 have solve those problems and offers an iPhone like quality camera
[X 2014 General] Rogoshin:
I don't know about your arguments, because I know alot of people that use haptic feedback. And only on one previous phone did I have to shut it off. I to like the the interface of the Moto x, but mine lacks, but not often. I also like the build quality. But if I had the money I would still switch. But it would probably be back to the xperia z3 compact.
[X 2014 General] FurryMurry:
I decided to swap my Moto X '14 for a S6. I haven't touched a galaxy phone since the S2 and I swore to never touch one again. But the S6 convinced me to try it one more time. I actually don't mind the new touchwiz (liking the material design look) and with root I'll just uninstall some of the pre-installed applications. The phone itself looks great and is better looking than the X, the hardware seems like a big improvement. It does have some nice features the X hasn't. I really dig the fingerprint sensor. The only thing that's bothering me is the software updates. It will probably take a lot more time than the Moto X. Although that's taking some time as well compared to the Nexus 5 that I had before. I just decided that I don't the mind waiting and having the Moto X a few months, it seems a bit boring or something like that.
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
Before the Moto X I had a Galaxy S3 and a S4. Even though they're pretty good phones, once I installed the Google Play Edition ROM on the S4 and got used to the vanilla Android feel, I realized how much I hated the crappy Touchwiz, the idea of going back to it sickens me, not to mention that their phones are usually very overpriced (at least here in Brazil). Samsung never again (well, never say never)!
[X 2014 General] gabo_e30:
I agree. Its a very attractive phone. Gonna go to the verizon store to play with it tomorrow, I think they have it on display. We'll see
[X 2014 General] iFalcon:
I love the Moto X 2014, but have the 'phone swapping technology disease...LOL' that mainly have on XDA.

However, one of the things keeping me on the Moto X is how stellar the reception is with the phone. It's a rock star pulling and holding a solid signal in my work place. Very few have come close to it.

[X 2014 General] gabo_e30:
wow what a difference in low light.... not so much in bright sunlight. i guess the f/1.9 aperture makes a difference when compared to the f/2.25 of the X
[X 2014 General] Solutions Etcetera:
While f/1.9 does let in more light, in reality it is less than a single full stop. Software is responsible for most of the difference you see. Samsung decided to really sweat the details in this regard (much like Apple), and it is so far the only Android phone to do so. While the Sony and LG have decent cameras for Android, this one completely resets the bar.

If indoor snapshots are important to you, this is the only Android that will make you happy at this point in time. It's a shame it took Samsung to do this, and Google and other OEMs are so lazy/apathetic.
[X 2014 General] scottricketts:
The camera is just no contest. As much as the X's camera is just average, the gestures and actions are what keep me on this phone. I'll hold off judgement on a replacement until the 2015 X is released this fall.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
Why do I suspect that Apple and Samsung have more engineers working on camera software then Motorola has in the entire phone engineering department.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Apple and Samsung would have more engineers because...money. Motorola does not have nearly as much money to hire engineers to focus on the camera. Now that Motorola is with Lenovo, I hope things do change in terms of camera development since Lenovo has the cash. There needs to be more OEMs competing in the camera area

I was always jealous of Samsung's camera quality, and now the s6 reignites it. But I want to be on the latest Android version asap, so it's a sacrifice I have to make...
