[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] spiderlily:
Phone is stock and unrooted; Canadian G928W8 on Bell.

Wifi: always on

LTE: sometimes I turn it off in a bad reception area.

Brightness: auto

Gesture Wake Up: enabled (I prefer this over edge swipe)

GPS: enabled on demand

Sync: always on; 2 email accounts: 1 gmail and 1 hotmail

Bluetooth: enabled on demand (connect to my Bluetooth earphones when I listen to music)

I disable bloats with Package Disabler Pro (carrier bloats and apps that I don't use) and block ads with Adguard.

As for launcher, I tried Nova, Smart Launcher, Zeam, and Nokia Z Launcher. No significant difference in battery life.

Yesterday, I went back to Touchwiz with s voice voice wake up always on, replaced built in edge functions (edge people and edge apps) with "Apps Bar+", and the rest of the settings and activities remain the same.

My phone has 4% left now and I have 1 hour less SOT at 7 hours (1 day 2h 52m 7s on battery). Not sure if it's touchwiz or S voice or the Apps Bar+ draining more battery though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Aquarianperry:
Here's how my average battery life has been going, so far it's phenomenal to get such life out of such a thin phone, imagine if Samsung would have went all out and made it a little bit thicker with a 3000mAh+ battery!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ashunkid:
So this are my resultes i did a skype call.. played a little and etc
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] hondabomdc5:
I don't understand how everyone gets such great battery life. I have the edge plus on Verizon and I have disabled all bloat apps, gps is on power saving, auto brightness, WiFi most of the time, I'm a pretty light to moderate user and I get like 3 hours screen on time and then my phone is almost dead.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] sigma24:
Does anyone have Idea about Fast Wireless Charger for S6 Edge Plus? IS there any problem of Over Heating?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Dvanzutphenkann:
I get an average of 5 and half hours screen on also usually on full brightness so this battery life is legit
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ashunkid:
That's estrange buddy. It is pretty good to me. Lets see after some charges.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] cdb323:
I have had mine for 6 days and it keeps getting better. Yesterday was 4.5 hours of screen time. 17 hrs on the battery and it was at 3% when I put it on the charger.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] sand1303:
Nuff said
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] zat0x:
The battery seems very lasting while using it but what i noticed is very high battery drain on idle. Not sure what is going on. Im rocking a international version 928F, so wifi calling is not the problems because my carrier doesn't support it. It seems the radio is draining the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] underthesea:
question

Guys who are getting amazing battery life. Are you running 5.1.1? I disabled everything and running power saving mode to get 3 hours of screen time
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Dvanzutphenkann:
Yeah I've noticed it drains more than usual at night when I'm sleeping. As for day use I can get 5 and half hours screen on time with full brightness. I can get close to 8 hours on auto brightness tho. No power savings needed
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Drizzy xS:
How the hell are you getting this I went out today for around 2 hours auto half brightness I have 1.3 hours screen time and I'm down to 65% and that is with a lot of stuff disabled with package disabler Pro
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Dvanzutphenkann:
I can only guess that it's because I was indoors all day Saturday so the auto brightness kept my screen low and my signal looked like this all day no fluctuation
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sergieo:
Disappointing to say the least. Screen about 25% with most toggles turned off except WiFi and can barely manage 3 hours of sot. Will be returning and going back to my regular galaxy s6 edge. T-Mobile network btw if that matters.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Skitstep:
I've flashed the arter97 kernel and my battery life has improved by quite a bit. Very impressed with the battery's performance for how much of a powerhouse this phone is.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stesteste:
my battery is getting better after several charges
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] littledeer:
There is significant improvement (overall performance) after installing the new G928FXXU3CQBB firmware (Android 7.0) on my S6 Edge+ (SM-G928F) and most important is: there is an improvement in a battery life (of course, after turning off some unnecessary apps and adjustment of some standard settings). After one fast charging sesion i'm able to use a phone cca. 57 hours. And, there is no phone heating.

(Just for comparison: I have tried (a very short time) Huawei Mate 9 working on a Nougat and I was terrified by phone heating during the execution of common actions. Guess... about a battery life ! Sad.)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] salmanshah:
You are right, there is improvement in battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] FrodoDE:
Since Android 7 .0 Battery Life is like another phone i think in the prvious version was bugged and caused battery drain. Even when the screen was off the battery drain as hell now nearly nothing
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] IAli91:
This is why I'm dying to get Nougat on my phone but I'm still waiting :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] saken.sf:
I have a personal experience on this subject to share, and let me first say that I really did not believe it would work, it was a last hope kind of stupid try, but it worked.

I had my battery last about 8h, in my day that means that at noon it was already less than 30% most of the times so I was really annoyed, then I installed a battery calibration app, used it a couple of times and it started going for about 17h. So this is not a little improvement, it doubled my battery time.

I really don't believe this kind of app, I'm still a bit suspicious, could it be that something on the OS is actually messing up the battery data (I have stock rom) and this app is correcting it? Its really weird.

If you're curious (or desperate like me), it's this one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
Figured out the two apps responsible for battery drain in the S6+

They are the:

- device maintenance

- native email

When you factory reset, it is better that you NEVER engage either from the start.

You can use either Gmail or download Outlook, and Avast.

For the first time started getting far more regular standby drainage, losing just about 6% overnight.

Whilst it's in use, the phone still runs through battery through.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
After so long with this phone I got it.

Don't turn on 'enhanced phone/messaging' or the built in anti-virus in Device Maintenance and this Device has battery life to last a full day.

With those two on, (either one) a whole series of links are made by a core system process that integrates across the board and cannot be switched off unless you factory reset.

This process needs several things running in the background ALL the time so suddenly, phone idle and Cell Standby and Android OS start reading high percentage.

P.S. Heh. I see I came to that already! It's just that the phone prompts so often to enhance your services and protect your phone that somewhere along the line, in a fit of weakness, I do.

Then it's back to the drawing board, going through apps one by one until finally, a reset and - without these working, the phone is a gem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Dvanzutphenkann:
Yesterday on full brightness no power savings mode!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] andythilo:
Pretty happy with mine tbh. I'm sure it'll get better still. Only had it since Sat.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] alex_mx:
After only 4 days of usage I'm very happy with the results, and I guess it will only get better with time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] MeBerg:
Sick...!

I can't understand how many of you can have up to 7 hours of screen time!! I got maximum 3,10. Normal i have 2,5 and it's like 12 %..

wtf

- Norway
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] alex_mx:
I don't know man, maybe you need a few cycles for stabilization, or maybe you have a defective unit, or a problem with apps, I'm not sure. Today is my 4th cycle and this is my usage so far.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] MeBerg:
hmmm. Haven't found any app problems, and I have removed some bloatware with package diasbler pro. Any tips?

I'll send you picture on pm. Not allowed to post here with under 10 posts total.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] FreshCall:
The battery is loss after 2 days from medium usage
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Chileno4Live:
So I used this guide from the Note 5 to remove 150+ bloatware apps with Package Disabler Pro. The guide provided an easy to use XML file which already does all the work for you. I will report back how my battery life is doing. Before, I had around 5 hours SOT with around 12 hours of total use. I noticed battery drain in standby, which is why I am trying to remove the bloatware in case that was what was causing the drainage. I also disabled the Touchwiz Launcher because I use Nova.

Link to guide: http://xdaforums.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] spiderlily:
Agreed! That is indeed a good guide. That's how I got my close to 8 hours screen on time without using power saving mode.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] alex_mx:
Well without any modification, I've reached 6 hours of SOT and at the end it shut down with 6:23 hours unfortunately I didn't got the capture, but pretty happy with the battery utilization.

I'm using G928GUBU1AOH5 unbranded ROM.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Chileno4Live:
Did you use the basic or extreme xml file? I used the basic one... I wonder if that's enough.

My phone S6 EDGE 5.02

My phone S6 EDGE 5.02 already ROOT, and full battery, then standby 8 hours didn't move over , just one night power consumption 69%, it's too exaggeration.:crying::crying:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] mattan1999:
I'm still on my first charging cycle, but the battery life seems to be absolutely amazing even though it's only 3000 mAh :D

Here's my battery life
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] spiderlily:
Either basic or extreme will do. I tried both and I didn't see any significant differences. I went a bit crazy with the disabler in the beginning and I noticed some stuttering/lagging here and there. My current config is a lot more relaxed.

I have attached my XML for you to see. Since mine is the Canadian variant, some bloatware would not apply to you.

Edit:

Can't upload XML so I changed the suffix to txt.

My phone galaxy S6 eage full battery, then standby only 6 hours awesome！

anormal phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] cepheid46e2:
I was getting about 4-5 w/ Att variant. Getting 9-10h SOT with g928i (no power saving mode). It's just ridiculous how much of a difference the lack of bloatware makes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] LaosPerson:
WHAT DA DAMN HELL i have the same one and im gonna assume you're on verizon because of the lte icon, how'd you flipping manage that? i only get around 4 ish not even close to 5 :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] maverick101:
5½ hrs sot
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] steelersmb:
I have never understood how people are getting this type of SOT with these phones. I came from the Edge to the Edge+ and battery life is just as bad. I have done everything and there isn't any one program that stands out as eating my battery. I use greenify and have disabled a ton of apps but I am lucky to get 2-2.5 hours of SOT during the day. I am constantly having to keep the phone on the charger every chance I get.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mrlovkim:
When turning location, Bluetooth, NYC etc off till I need them helps so much, having this two weeks I am happy with the battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] steelersmb:
Yeah, but the purpose of the phone is to use the functionality of it and battery life should be better. I have an android watch so I leave BT on all the time. I may as well get a flip phone if I am going to turn everything off.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mrlovkim:
I just keep things turned off till I need them, rarely use Bluetooth, and location is easily turned off and on if taking pics with location tags but if using fitness apps then location stays on.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] cepheid46e2:
I keep NFC, BT and GPS on and still get an easy 7-8 SOT. Perhaps disabling the bloatware would be helpful. I know there was a huge difference between the international variant I own and the ATT version I test drove.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Chileno4Live:
Disabling the bloatware has helped improving the standby time of my s6 edge plus.

Here is my 2nd day with the phone. I spent a good bit of time on calls today, but not a lot browsing. I used the charger it came with out of the box, but used a regular qi charger last night.

Okay so something randomly starts killing my phone battery after a few days and I need you guys help working it out right this is my phone after yesterday basically I updated to the latest 04 firmware in the UK through odin because ee wouldn't give me it. Now what I've noticed is the battery here is absolutely amazing as the days go on the battery gets progressively worse and worse and I don't know why or what it is this is after a factory install where it automatically installed all my apps from before I've only logged into my account from Twitter and tapatalk and relay though not snap chat what do you guys think could be causing this battery issue and stopping me getting this battery all the time

Screen on is 3 hours BTW with auto brightness on about 70
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] mjs2011:
For me. The standby stain is ridiculous. I went to bed at 11pm last night with 76% left. Forgot to charge it and write up with 38%. On WiFi too. When I looked at stats it pretty much said that it was Android OS and Android System. Never had this kind of issue on iOS.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] jah2110:
First charge, rooted, arter kernel, manual brigth 30%, greenify And tweaks in build.prop.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] EpicDom:
I think it generally comes down to usage. I thought there was something wrong with my phone because me and my boyfriend got this phone days apart. This is what he's getting and I don't know HOW. He is quite strict with what apps are running on his phone and mostly uses the browser instead. I got roughly 11 hours from heavy usage as I use quite intensive apps and I played a few games. I can't show you screen time currently as I've just fully charged my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] burn0u7:
The S6 Edge Plus 64gb version sucks for battery life. no matter if you shut everything off or not. even the S6 sucks too that way.

i picked up a battery case from amazon for 30ish bucks. should be here oct 5. friend of mine has just an S6 edge and he has one of those cases and he now gets really nice battery life.

get the case here
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] niko2931:
I have the 32 gb version, and I have excellent battery life!

I'm comming from the Nexus 6, and this phone is so much better!

The best thing I've done for my phone is uninstalling Facebook, and just use it in the chrome browser on my phone ;)

F.ex. im at 50% right now with 3h 12min of Screen on time :p
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] tim.taylor.564:
My last charge got me a fraction under 5 hours screen on time with practicly everything on and the screen at a decent brightness. I have no issues with battery life at all. More than happy ✌

Yea and my time was with at least an hour of gameplay (Fallout shelter) ;)

I've got G928i

I get on average 4hrs SOT, max of 5hrs. (on WIFI not 3/4G)

I use package disabler pro, 40% screen, battery saving mode

I cant get anywhere near 10 hours, or even 6 hours without using all the tricks.

What gives
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] sartan:
Which services you have disabled?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Soulblinded:
What the hell are you guys doing, just keeping the homescreen one ? Because with my usage constantly switching apps i get a max of 4 hours SOT with auto brightness. Or you probabbly keep it at minimum brightness?? Or disabled all the major functionality and keep it as a brick ? Seriously is my phone bad, or you just dont use yours as its meant to be used ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] niko2931:

I play games, hear music, watch youtube videos, browse the web, and so on..

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] andywright1982:
Mine is the same. With 4g and bluetooth on constantly connected to my sony smartwatch 3, I get around 4hrs SOT which I am happy with as thats about 1.5 days usage for me. Im sure I could extend it further but that would then take away a lot of the functionality
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SiMpLy NoiR:
Same here. I used package disabler pro to disable all the stuff either I don't use at all or so rarely I can easily just enable the service/app to use it before disabling it again, that and along with some setting changes keeps my phone running long. I use my phone primarily for iHeartRadio/Pandora, texting/Line/WhatsApp messengers, web browsing like Facebook (forget that power-sucking app) and Youtube, some live Snapchat every once in awhile, two email accts, and gaming (mainly Clash of Clans and Game of War). Depending on my game usage I can get on average 6-8 hrs SOT which suits me just fine and I could probably get more if I don't play games.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kebong:
Five percent batter drain in less than ten minutes! I only have WiFi on. How is this even happening like wtf? Can anyone please advise me what to do because this is just ridiculous. Previous charge cycle, I only had around 2.5 hours of SOT and I fully drained my batter to 0 after only eight frigging hours!

I don't wanna have to return this phone :crying:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] steelersmb:
I'll be honest with you, that's about all I get with this phone as well, about 2.5 - 3 hours. I don't know how other people do it but I have disabled everything and nothing seems to work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Soulblinded:
I am getting a HUGE battery drain while on standby, apparently it is MOBILE RADIO that remains Active in all apps that use internet. On chrome I had 4 hours mobile radio on , while I left my phone aside. This is huge, what can I do about it ? I read its lollipop bug, but what the hell. I cant get 10 hours usage time, with only 2 hours SOT.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] gb155:
3-4 hours SOT is my average toom I just dont get how people are getting 7+ hrs?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kebong:
can you please please please tell me just HOW THE HELL you manage to get that? i can barely get to 10 hours of use with less than 3 hours of SOT. IM SUPER CLOSE TO RETURNING THIS PHONE AND JUST GETTING A NOTE 5

Same here. Ive got more battery life out of this phone vs any other samsung ive owned even after extensive rom mods for battery life.
