Nice work. The power profile seems to be quite reliable... :)

Btw. is there a way to bypass SafetyNet check? It was not obvious to me from the thread.

I tried to use MagiskHide, SafetyPatch and simply modifying /system/build.prop, but all of them resulted in stucking at boot animation...

constantly overheating occurs, up to about 60-70 degrees
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] szazs89:
Have you tried to detect which app causes overheating? (either in Battery settings - Detecting draining apps, or using an app like AccuBattery)

I have only detected CM browser that causes extra heat and drained battery more intensively than I "expected"...

Btw. I use battery with power saver profile.

First of all thanks for porting LineageOS to the galaxy s6 (SM-G920F). I recently moved from latest Dutch Vodafone stock ROM to your "LineageOS-9-zero-common-2019-10-14_2027". Everything seems to work like a charm, but sometimes battery drains for no reason. Overnight the battery drain can be as low as <5% but last night it was as high as 40% over 1 night. When looking at battery manager there is no app that is causing this problem, so seems to be something else wrong.

The phone contains only the OS + google apps nano + a few kids games (it my daughters' phone). It has no SIM (wifi only) and I already switched the power profile to "efficient", disables GPS, etc

Any clue what is going on and how to fix?

In the "Resurrection Remix 7.0.2" thread I found that disabling "double tap to wake" could help. I tried it and battery drain problem seems to be solved now...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] saschad:
I had the same issue and can confirm I was able to fix it by applying the steps you mentioned there. If I was to guess what it was, then it would be not installing the TWRP app.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I had that during the first two days after installation, too. 100% battery would last only for 12 hours of mainly stand-by and only email-checking every now and then. Furthermore, the cause of the high energy consumption wasn't visible in Android's energy log. (e.g. battery was down to 50%, but the battery usage percentiles of the different apps/processes would only add up to 15%). Over night, the phone battery died completely then.

Since yesterday, battery usage is more or less back to how it was with Android 7.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Meth0d:
I am not sure if this is supposed to work on LOS or not but i end up with a bootloop if i try to enable device encryption. Only way to fix this is to wipe / reformat from TWRP.

Is there a way to have encryption working, would be really nice as this is a prerequise for AFW.

Horrible audio quality from speaker, and bluetooth calls

Hello, I've got lineage os 16 on my g920f (s6) and everything has been working the way it's supposed to, but, I've noticed that the quality of the audio coming from the speaker is pretty bad (specifically with YouTube), and the mic quality is bad too (WhatsApp in my experience), also calls on discord sound horrible (me and the person I'm talking to). The strange thing is I haven't had this problem in my stock samaung rom, up untill I installed lineage os 16. If there is a fix to this problem , it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.:)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zefiro_1980:
Thanks mog_wai,

with your advice I solved the problem of the battery that is quickly discharged. In addition, to increase efficiency I use the Greenify + Donation package app (by Oasis Feng) with administrator rights (root). Last thing, I also replaced the battery with a Polarcell for SM-G920F (Wannsee Electronic) and now I can get to the evening with 20-30% of the remaining battery!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Kenjicharlie:
It's actually I really good option, gaming performance is amazing, and it's really snappy, add to that the lightning fast boot speed(15 sec), the only problem it has is the terrible 32 kbps like sound quality from the speakers and the mic (only in apps such as yt whatsapp ....), And Bluetooth call quality is horrific (in discord particularly). Apart from that it's a really good ROM , and the camera app sucks (get footej (no 60 fps :( ). And please. Let me know if you've tried Resurrection remix,and inform me if it has some of these issues, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !!!

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zefiro_1980:
Hi, version 3.1 is too old for LAOS 16.0. You have to install the exact one, I think the error 7 is due to this. If your phone is a SM-G920F the latest exact version 3.1.1-0

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

If you read a few posts back you will see that this problem exists. Alternatively you could try the Resurrection Remix (RR-P-v7.0.0) which is similar but perhaps does not present these problems, it is a ROM to try.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Bored644633ff:

You can try to disable "double tap to wake" in the administrator options. Personally I also changed the battery and use the Greenify App + Donation Package (Oasis Feng) to keep the battery under control. Try also to see in battery management if you have processes that eat a lot of energy.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] zogoibi:
...and not a single comment on battery-drain issue by dev... :confused:

I have two Samsung devices: A3 and S6. On both I've tried LOS ports, and on both I've given up because of the same issue: huge for-no-reason battery drains. (On both forums, too, oddly enough, OP's seem to not care about it -- or at least they don't reply to battery-related comments, so I'm afraid we, users, are on our own.)

On my A3, long ago I somehow managed to get rid of this issue, which was also present in RR port, by (if I'm not misremembering) flashing the latest modem. On the S6, however, that seems to make no difference.

I find this issue to be a nightmare and a deal-braker, as I can't do with a device that, more often than not, depletes the battery overnight even on airplane mode; but I'm totally at a loss about what can be the culprit: as some of you have reported here, the battery stats seem to show quite reasonable consumption, yet the graphic evidences a steady and real drain. Besides, as far as I've searched, this seems to be a problem common to many LOS ports to several Samsung devices.

Another fact that adds to my bewilderment, is that some users report their battery life to be ok for them. :confused: Is this because they, for whatever reason (perhaps related to their personal phone-charging habits), manage to live happily along with the battery drain?, or is it because they're really not experiencing this problem? But then, if this is the case, what are they doing fine that me (and others) are doing wrong?

Just my thoughts on this show stopper bug. I know they may not be too useful, but I couldn't refrain from sharing them with you.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zefiro_1980:
As I wrote above your post the problem exists but, with the tricks I wrote, charging it in the evening then the phone spends the night with a consumption of 10% and I arrive anyway in the next evening that I have 10-20% of my battery left. You can't have everything in life. After all we are using a very up-to-date ROM on an obsolete phone ... you have to find the right compromises. However, I also think that the ROM would have to be improved in this sense.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] nezlek:
Similar Experiences

The S6 has NEVER been known as a battery friendly device. The stock battery is too small in terms of capacity, an S7 Edge battery stuffed into the case (it sort-of fits) provides some improvement but (personally) not enough to justify having a not quite correctly assembled phone, and most kernels / ROMs really don't provide adequate support for the hack, IMHO. An interesting phrase you used: "obsolete phone." It's only obsolete when it can no longer do what YOU want it to do, and THIS ROM pretty much makes the S6 as up-to-date as most alternatives. It isn't perfect, but neither was the stock ROM it came with. ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zefiro_1980:
My latest phones were S3>S4 mini>S4>S5>S6, none new, all bought used, all with LineageOS and I've always been overjoyed!

For me S6 is obsolete because is not supported by official updates but...I love obsolete smartphone, I buy only obsolete smartphone ;)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mog_wai:
Same problem here. After the last update (2019-11-23) the powerdrain is huge. After a full charge the phone is completely empty after 24h standby (so NO USAGE at all, all apps closed, WIFI only (no sim)). I didn't have this big of a problem with the previous version. What happened? And more importantly: what to do, because this way the device is not usable.

Battery usage doesn't show any offenders...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] DoughMucker:
I *had* huge battery drain issues after first flashing the November 23 release of the rom with OpenGapps. I now have normal battery behaviour after wiping and flashing with MindTheGapps.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mog_wai:
Interesting development: yesterday the battery was completely empty and made the phone shutdown. After fully charging I powered on again yesterday evening and surprise surprise this morning only 4% battery drain :). I don't know what happened, but seems to work now!

build instructions

Hi [MENTION=7673911]enesuzun2002[/MENTION]

Thanks for this ROM.

I need to completely disable SElinux.

Can you provide build instructions adapted from Build for zeroltexx to properly import your repos and build? Or otherwise provide a ROM zip with SElinux completely disabled? (not just permissive)

It's a pain to build the boot image from kernel zImage without Lineage platform tools.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sthones:
IMHO this is the biggest issue of that ROM, as I can't fully rely on the notification LED.

my assumption is, that the issue is caused by loading to 100% and leaving it on the charger for a longer time. and the other situation causing it seems to be when the charge goes below 15% and the low battery warning starts to notify, then also after a while the LED stops working.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] saschad:
Following up on the hint you were referring to, I turned location into "energy-saving" mode (so GPS off). That seemed to help a bit, but sometimes the battery still drains out very fast for no apparent reason, sometimes it's lasting really long time. For example last night, before I went to bed, battery was down to 50% after a full day of use (not too much, only a bit of email, messaging, weather app plus some random apps). Then in the morning, after not using the phone for around 7 hours, it was a bit warm when I first grabbed the phone, battery down to 8% with "Sleep mode" being the thing which consumed the most energy during the past 18 hours. And you could see the battery curve being relatively stable in the beginning and then during the last few hours, there was a big change and it went down fast. The 8% left were prognosed to last for another 20mins when I checked.

So, unfortunately, I still don't have a solution to these funky behavior...any ideas from anyone? Thanks!

Hello derverOR, if you read a few posts back I had given my own solution. I play half an hour/an hour a day, a bit of social etcetera and the charge lasts me a day.

However, you definitely need a bit of cunning during the day. The Galaxy S6 is not actively supported. When there is luck, there is an update every one or two months. You have to succeed with what you have available right now.

It's not a real fix but only advices. At first, disable "Double tape to wake" in the display options could help.
