So I followed someones list of disabled packages in this thread and it removed the 'edge swipe' for apps/contacts. I actually like the swipe for apps feature. Does anyone know which package this is so I can enable it again?

FIXED: Disabling it just turned it off in settings. Did not actually remove the setting.

I'm using Edge + (rooted) for about a month and it can last 4-8h SOT. Usually around 6-7h with mostly wifi, closer to 4h when using mobile data.

Battery life plus fast charging and fast wireless charging has been an overall great experience for me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
battery is good if your a light or medium user.

medium user gets 1 day and half.

for very heavy user not very good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] aniobash:
So what battery is good for "heavy" user? Car's battery?

C'mon dudes. 1.5 hours fast charge and you are back in the game :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
for heavy user take the USB cable with you and your plug. or wireless charger with you to your office.

get car charger,. you can also get case with charger built in.

or exchange it for galaxy S7 edge+ plus when it comes out in March or April 2016

How can I get rid of the Android System battery drain ?

Tried everything. Disabled every app, GPS, nfc, sync, rooted, used package disabler pro, used amplify and limited every serious wake lock, service or alarm. I can't get rid of the drain.

There are 3 services on top - Connectivity, bcm77 or something like that and a 3rd one, but I don't remember its name.

Tried 3 different firmwares with Odin, wiped cache, factory reset, nothing works.

The network signal is great. Had a s6 before and didn't have any issues.

If I charge it and use it immediately, I get 6h of sot with no problems. If I leave it on standby (no internet) it just keeps on draining.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] neflictus:
It just doesn't go to deep sleep.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
Lollipop was the worst Android version for battery life for me. The best was in KitKat and that was in my previous Nexus device. Lollipop just drains battery by staying there. Do not blame Samsung for your android system battery drain. I used every battery tracking app and never got any rogue app to blame for except from Android itself and Screen. I hope Marshmallow will improve the standby battery drain and I'm not talking about Doze since it's kicking in only when you leave your phone on table for a long period aka during sleep.

Is battery score of 5128 good enough?

Hello,

I've bought s6 Edge+ 3 days before and I'm concerned about the battery life. I've not got the nano sim yet so I'm just using apps like facebook, twitter, linkedin, youtube, opened few pages in chrome, brightness is 50-60% with auto brightness. Wifi-on, night clock-on, nfc-on before but I switched it off. It's running latest android 5.1.1

Anyway, I searched and came to know about Geekbench 3 to test battery test and it scored 5128, with runtime as 08:32:50 to go from 100% to 1%. (image is attached.) [IMG="Battery score - Geekbench 3"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8JWtC9MH-NNYWxHUTVCeVdRcVU[/IMG]

The battery info from my settings looks like this: [IMG="Better Info from Settings"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8JWtC9MH-NNSFRsLTVFWFlEc0E[/IMG]

For some reason, the images in my google drive are not visible.

Current edge+ users, please share if this is a expected battery life for this handset or is this a faulty piece. This is my first samsung device coming from iPhone world. Is there any other app or settings I should use/apply to test battery life before the cooling off period goes away?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Hawkery:
Bought the edge+ today and had 5h30mins SOT

Not bad at all.

Will be looking to improve this!

I never had a phone before with such a long screen-on time. You should install the arter97 kernel to get a greater battery life!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] findinghomer:
I am getting 5 hours SOT. I stream Spotify through bluetooth while on Wi-Fi all day at work. I use "ok Google" hotword detection from any screen. I use the browser, and text heavily, keep my screen dimmed to roughly 10%. I also optimize my phone, by disabling any apps that i deem bloat. The battery drops from 100 rather quickly, but the bottom half of the charge seems to be much better. I went from 100% to 99% just from turning the phone on lol. Definitely a respectable battery, and with quick charge, it's great
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] StealthNet:
Hi there,

I really need some help... after 2 months testing I have to say that I am getting horrible batt life. I am trying to pinpoint the exact cause, without success. I am thinking I have a faulty unit but my phone is already rooted, so no warranty for me.

I am getting 10 to 12h of TOTAL batt time.

After lots of testing and using lots of different tools, it seems that something inside the android system is actually eating up the battery and keeping the phone from entering deep sleep.

I have a Microsoft Band and it might seem at first that the Microsoft Health + band (BTLE) is responsible for the batt drain, but I already tested 48h without using it / uninstalling the app. The results were 5% better (got 12h of total batt time, from the average of 10~11h).

Currently, I am using SkyHigh´s kernel with Power Aware Scheduling, HMP LITTLE packing and PEWQ enabled, but the results are basically the same.

Tested arter97´s kernel, same results on avg.

Also tried undervolting but got a bit unstable. Returned to defaults. Already set the minimum freqs fro BIG to 500 MHz and 200 MHz for LITTLE.

I also disabled a lot of services to try to squeeze a bit more batt. What is worse, my xperia Z3 with the SAME apps and connected to the Microsoft Band does 20h total batt time easily.

I even tried using Amplify. I am also using greenify.

You may find screenshots attached along with a list of disabled apps.

So, here is a couple of questions:

What is the best tool to try to pinpoint the cause of this batt drain, even considering system services / apps? Already used 3C Toolbox, BetterStats, Wakelock detector and GSAM, but they don´t seem to agree, nor give my insights about system components;

Are there any valid procedures to try to reset or calibrate the battery?

Using the *#0228# / Quick Start will do me any good? What is the proper way of using it? Read somewhere that you have to wait for low batt (less than 20%), issue the command and wait for the batt to drain completely and then recharging from 0% with the phone off...

Any further tips / suggestions that might help me? Any insights?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] a10ciod:
I totally agree. A cross comparison between my wife's iPhone plus and my s6.....she dominates in battery life. I'm noticing a lot of bloatware on the s6. Microsoft cloud services are always running even if you haven't opted in. It is quite annoying. Rooting your device and deleting a lot of the extra garbage may be a solution to the s6 poor battery performance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ozyk100:
I bought the phone a week ago and I flipped out because of battery life, I even had worse problems than you! First 3 days I thought that I have a faulty device as I was having 30% battery drop in 7h of phone just sitting on the table.... I used Odin and flashed 2 different firmwares, rooted the phone, debloated it, installed arter97 kernel, Skyhigh kernel but nothing helped UNTIL I installed dr. Ketans O2 rom with arter97 kernel... Now I have 6-8h of SOT! I believe that something just clicked in its place with the process of flashing! Do your self a favor and do what I did, I'm pretty sure it will help you, you even got the option for light or stock rom!

I really hope you will take my advice!

I hope I helped!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Joao Oliveira:
try not installing any antivirus, guard crap and monitors you are running on top bar. probably that crap ruining your battery life... monitors on and android are all battery hoggers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Aiosin:
My Edge+ has a really bad battery drain of 5%-8% per hour, just letting it idle on the table. I get about 10,5h to 11h TOTAL battery time with a SOT of 1,5h to 2h. And that's only surfing the web with Chrome, no games or movies. (I'll upload screens as soon as i find out HOW to upload them to XDA...)

As mentioned in many posts of this thread, i disabled nearly anything able to drain battery: Samsung bloatware, GPS, background syncing, BT, 4G. I reset to factory settings twice without any change. The drain of screen on is only a little bit higher then screen off.

I'll probably send it back and get a new one, hoping that i just got a bad phone. Rooting is not an option for me yet, as i don't want to void the warranty this early :(

I'm also having the same problem... usually android system is second, with almost the same use as the screen. Is that normal?

Disabled apps, staying on 3g only, synchro is off, trying to save as much as I can... and I get about 2.5h of procesor use during the whole day. Is it really only lollipop fault?

OK so I kept track of my whole day yesterday:

* Began fully charged at 5:30 Tues morn when I awoke after charging all night (I only use wireless chargers).

* Kept GPS, Bth and everything else on all day - 30 sec timeout on screen.

* Screen set to BASIC in resolution - not AMOLED.

* 1.5 hrs playing Wordament, Words by Post and Blackjack.

* Phone calls totaling about 30 minutes (I use Hangouts for calls).

* Streamed Google Play Music for a total of about an hour while driving around xmas shopping.

* Woke up the screen to check notifications and texting about 4-6 times an hour.

* The phone was on standby from about 11pm to 5:30 when I woke up - at 11%.

Definitely not as good as my LG G3 but acceptable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] nichi4ov:
I had the same issues regarding the battery drain of 5%-6% per hour, just letting it stand-by mode no data connection , no wi-fi, no GPS, no bluetooth. Been having the phone for about 5 weeks,i have noticed this only 3 days ago, because i was charging over the night, but now my battery drain of 1% per hour in stand-by mode. I must mention that I tried 2 [OFFICIAL] Stock Firmware:

G928FXXU2AOL2_G928FITV2AOL2_ITV and G928FXXU2AOKB_G928FNEE2AOK1_NEE and had the same issue regarding battery. The NEE(Nordic countries) Stock Firmware i flashed it because i used it on my Galaxy s4 few months ago and i managed to use phone without charging for 40 hours.

So thinks i do solve issue:

- Installed arter97 kernel for Galaxy S6 edge Plus; this didn't solved my problems entirely;(i dont think it's

necessary to do this because you'll void your warranty)

- Watched 2 videos about how to increase battery life, on youtube : - Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Battery Tips & Tricks!

- Samsung Galaxy S6 + S6 Edge Tutorial - How to Increase Battery Life!

- and did all thinks i was showned in videos;

I'll come back later with some screens and more info.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
Some recommend to set Location on GPS only and some to WiFi/Network only. Which is supposed to help more for battery? Isn't it the wifi/network one as the GPS chip consumes more? I can't have more than 4 1/2 hours no matter what. I never play games and it's always on wifi and Auto Brithness (I set it way lower than 50% that was on default.) Lollipop seems pretty inconsistent with battery. Some days I get 5h some others 3h with same usage. (PS phone is mostly indoors and brightness is never higher than 30%). The battery stats never helped me understand what's happening. Android System is always on 2nd place with Screen at 1st place. and Android OS at 3rd place.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] DPLOY:
If you followed all the other settings recommended and only get 5hrs you have an app draining in the background - I would reset to factory and install apps one at a time until the culprit reveals itself. I had one day where I forgot uTorrent was running and drained my batt in 3 hrs.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dashrink:
Well it's little tricky to determine the actual cause of the drainage. Do you have gmail and exchange syncing? Do you use Google now? Camera syncing? Is location history on or off? There are more factors to consider than those listed here...

What about wifi settings? Is the smart network switching enabled or?

Hope you fix these issues buddy, so you can enjoy this sexy phone a bit longer ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
Location history is off, Google Now off, wifi scanning always off, Gmail sync is on (1 account only) no other email apps, all apps with auto refresh and notifications are disablesld, I refresh them manually when I open them, no photo auto backup of any kind , The only chat app I have is Hangouts and Facebook messenger, I have less than 45 apps installed in total, display mode is on adaptive , brightness slider is set around 20% with Auto. I disabled many apps that came preinstalled. I don't think there is anything else I can do. Battery stats are not so helpful.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dashrink:
Damn. You sound like an experienced user. Don't know how much I can do to help. If I had made the same adjustments as you, I would be getting even more out of the battery. The only thing i can think of is the strength of the mobile signal in the area where you live. Your phone wil constantly switch if the signal is weak. Have you tried disabling the LTE? Just for testing purposes. ..

I have Google now ON, Gmail and exchange syncing.. even auto backup of images and video to onedrive....

How long have you had the device?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
Yes I tried to disable 4G and set it to 2G/3G with no difference at all. I follow the forums and websites and always trying tweaks here and there. Never saw anything weird on battery stats since I got the phone. I mean no regular app in the top lost of battery usage. I even tried a battery tracking app GSam or smth. I know I can flash some kernel but I don't want any kind of mod at the moment. I stopped flashing my phones and mod them like I did when I was younger with my GNex and Nexus 4. Now I just want a stock phone that just works. This phone is amazing. The only thing that I would change on it isnto replace the glass's back with that wonderful aluminum we have at the sides which feels erotic when I touch it and the battery life which is average for a phablet and price. Now I I uninstalled some apps that I rarely use but it will take some days to see if anything improved. The signal seems quite good with 3 bars to 4 bars. I even disabled the edge features. Maybe it's just Lollipop that is bad with the battery. I wait for the Marshmallow and maybe things so better. It looks promising from what I read from the Beta.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dashrink:
Well I'm on Lollipop too, and I have amazing battery life. There must be something else. Here is the list of stock apps I have disabled. Maybe this can help...

Hy Friends,

Does anyone use the 3c toolbox or battery monitor widget app from 3c?

I have some strange battery measurements on my s6 edge+.

The measured mah is between 2500 and 2800. But i never reach the 3000mah what the battery should have.

On all my other devices (Note4, S4, Note pro 12.2) the measured mah is what it should be.

I tried different settings but the results are the same..

Can someone try this on your s6 edge+ too?

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] StealthNet:
After almost having a heart attack trying to make this phone batt last more than 10h total, I think I have finally nailed it. I would like to leave my comments here for the reference.

I came from a stock G928GUBU2AOJ4/G928GZTO2AOJ4 (ZTO) Baseband G928GUBU2AOJ3.

Simply put, something inside that stock firmware was keeping it from entering deep sleep. I was getting 10% of deep sleep on average, even leaving the phone resting on a table. It was always warm.

First I rooted and spent weeks trying to pinpoint the cause. Was not able to, not a 100% sure.

After using Skyhigh and arter97 kernels and the stock AOJ4 ROM, I was getting the same batt life on avg (10h of TOTAL batt time).

Used lots of tools (cpu spy, wakelock detector, 3c toolbox, better battery stats, gsam) and most of them were pointing to system wakelocks. Android System, Android OS, Google Services and mediaserver were responsible for the batt draining and most of the wakelocks.

That was when I decided to flash another ROM.

After reading about my options, decided to flash Audax.

After some hours of use, the first thing I´ve noticed was the fact that the phone was cooler.

Then I tested with arter97 and skyhigh kernels and got almost the same results on average, but waaaay better than stock (above 17hs of batt life for both, slightly more batt drain with arter97´s, but I think that is because there are many more options to tweak with skyhigh).

Imho, there is a bug in some stock ROMS that keep the phone from entering deep sleep. Maybe I am wrong but I don´t think that´s kernel related because the problem only disappeared when I flashed a custom ROM. Maybe the combination of them.
