Thank you, I will definately give this a try tonight. Lost 40% tonight in standby. The battery drain is driving me crazy

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] gottahavit:
yeah it's kind of random, to me it definitely seem related to leaving apps open when you turn off the tablet. I've seen the drain with and without the keyboard attached, in and out of dex mode. Some morning I lose 3% overnight, some mornings it's more like 20%
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] YoungStarDC:
Going to try this as well. Mine has been dropping up to 60 percent overnight which is absolutely ridiculous. Even with airplane mode on and bloatware disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] MrMolok:
I am having the same issues with my Tab S6 Lte.

Huge drain during the night. Battery settings correct with all battery savings on. Most often I even enable flight mode to save power.

When checking what have caused the battery drain, and I put all those percentages together I don't get a number that is nowhere near the actual battery drain.

So something is clearly wrong and some process is draining the battery that doesn't show up in the list of apps battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] snowblind2142:
Thought it was just me!

This is very interesting.

My wife got hers about 2 weeks before mine arrived.

She's an English teacher and uses it anything from 8 to ten hours a day. High brightness, keyboard case attached.

She gets around 3 days usage before she needs to charge. (Primarily uses Dex)

Set mine up, and I'm charging every night! Stand by drain is shocking compared to my S10+

I'm going to wipe it and slowly check battery differences with any change I make (app installed, setting changed, environment changed)

See if I can isolate what's causing it.

It used to be pretty decent here but lately I've been having some insane battery drain issues. It started when I switched to the book cover, so I'd say GiantAxe is right on the mark, shame on you samsung..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Ace42:
Idle drain is all good here, nothing out of the ordinary.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] J∆Y:
Idle battery drain is really getting on my nerves!

Initially the I didn't really notice the overnight battery drain, as I'm never used to looking at the battery of my devices every morning. But one day, a drop of 50% did strike me and since then I'm just developing kinda OCD over this issue :D. It's pretty random too, 2 to 5% an hour. I've tried restricting background use for most of the apps and it still persists. Nowadays, its like I pick the tablet only to check the battery percentage and nothing else! Very frustrating.

I'll keep experimenting like all others and post if I find a culprit.

I hope we'll be able to close this thread with a solution!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] YoSoyCarlosG:
Same here... Was great for the first 3 weeks, even with book cover. Then since Wednesday last week it went crazy and battery dies, no use at all, after two days stored in my backpack during the weekend. I hope this is a software issue that can be fixed via an OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Extreemator:
That's because you don't read posts. Itnwas due to always on wifi (as a univeral problem) , if to lerlt it turn off then loss was minimal.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] howie411:
Dude, I was just replying to the other guy letting him know I also had the issue. Also I shouldn't have to turn off WIFI for my tablet to last more then 2 days. Either way I got rid of it and got a different one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Paul_Deemer:
I leave my wifi on all the time and after charging tablet full it was sitting on desk all day not being used and still was at 100% when I picked it up an hour ago. But I use it for Movies and Surfing the web only. So No Facebook or Email installed which I keep soley on my phone. I'm starting to wonder if those of you having the drain problems also have the official keyboard also? Could that be the problem? I have the official Samsung Book Cover Case without keyboard and battery life is just as good as my Tab S4 was. I use the Logitech illuminated K810 Bluetooth keyboard and the MX anywhere S2 Bluetooth mouse.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] johnny tsunami:
I was going to start a new thread till I found this one, and this was what I was going to post:

I have a tmo lte galaxy tab s6 not rooted, and last night I left the tablet at 78% after i pulled it off the charger, it was about 10:30 pm. This morning at 9:55 am I went to use the tablet and it has 18% battery left on it. It does not do this that often but every now and again I will get an insane battery drop like this overnight or in about 10 to 12 hours. Usually I do not charge it at all during the week because it holds a charge well. Has anyone had this issue that they were able to fix? I checked my bat stats and it has screen fro 4 hours and 25 min, and 24% of the consumption. It has a Samsung smart cover that I use on it. But if the bat stats are right, is it saying that the screen was on last night for four and a half hours? My cell standby is the next biggest at 19%, then device idle at 10%.

It seems that the common factor here is the smart cover, or KB case. I am curious to see if i but another case type that isn't a "smart cover" will get rid of the issue. Before this battery drain, the last time I charged my tabelt was sunday night, and I used it mon tues weds and the battery only dropped to about 70 %. I charged it for a bit last night to see if I could get it to replicate the issue, and thinking back, I did leave the cover closed during and after the charge. I hope they fix this issue as I like the book cover but hate when I need to use the tablet and the battery is dead/near dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] johnny tsunami:
So If anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore I think this flip book case thing is most likely the culprit. After charging the device I have been opening and closing the case and it seems to keep my battery life good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] ben cole:
Thanks Johnny. For the first time my S6 LTE had insane battery drop last night.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] ben cole:
Last night I charged the device with the flip case open and used it briefly before putting it away.

Finished charging on 81% and it was still there this morning. Will continue to observe this behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] shinigami777:
Hi, i have the same problem. Normally During the day standby drain is great 0,2-0,5%/h but when I left tablet in my book cover case closed for charging over night (I have setup my charger to turn off after 2h) I have huge battery drain till morning 30-40% over 6-8h ? it started after update to Android 10, I hoped they fix this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] kbboykin:
I haven't seen this on mine. USA Wifi w/Android 10
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] shinigami777:
If anyone were wondering if the problem is caused only by the original Samsung case, unfortunately I checked the Ztotop book cover that night and the same problem appeared. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] shinigami777:
Last night I tested this solution. I connected the tablet to charge for the night. Tablet in an original closed book cover. Charger set to auto turn off at 24:00. And I schedule the automatic restart at 24:05. Thanks to that I had 100% battery in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] androidfanforever:
My new tab standby drain overnight(10hrs) is nearly 0%, which is incredible on a snapdragon. While on my Exynos s10 it's like 1% per hour, I tried disabled most of the bloat apps as well. Why is the Exynos so bad, does anyone know why? Kernel maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] caraconejo:
If I am going to leave the Tab S6 on standby for a long period, what I do is deactivate all the sensors, placing the direct shortcut on the taskbar, it is activated from the developer settings, and this achieves a significant improvement in autonomy with a just click

Very timely thread. I've been wondering about battery. This is my first device (out of 6) that I even paid attention to battery drain.

Overnight unplugged not a problem. During the day, with admittedly heavy usage, the drain seems a lot more than what I'm used to with previous devices. I've run Better Battery Stats for several days and there is no specific app nor process that I can identify as the culprit.

I'll be watching this thread to see what develops.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] nicholb:
Coming from a Tab S3 I'm getting much better battery life. I use to have to charge the S3 at least once during the day and sometimes again in the evening. The S6 is making it all day on a single charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Shocky2:
I've just come from a Pixel C and the battery life is very impressive, yes I know the Pixel C is from 2015 so the battery life has degraded somewhat but still, it's a lot better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Paulototo:
Battery Life is average compared to my Ipad Air 2019 consumes 1 percent for every 5 minute Video compared to 8 minute in ipad Air !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Shocky2:
Don't care, the iPad could be 1% an hour and I still wouldn't be interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] chrism_scotland:
Personally I'm finding the battery on my LTE model to be very good - I used it on Sunday to watch sports pretty much non-stop for about 7-8 hours and still had 45% of battery life left - impressed me considering that was 7-8 hours running off LTE/4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Shocky2:
I'm getting over 8 hours screen on time between charges which is excellent considering the size of the battery. I don't leave it on overnight though as I really don't see the point.

My old PIxel C with a larger (degraded) battery was only getting around 4-5 hours before I sold it, Tegra X1 was never the most effiecent SoC though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] zetsumeikuro:
I'm still on the Pixel C running 10.0 but was thinking about making the jump since the CPU is really starting to show it's age but GPU performance is still excellent. How satisfied are you with the switch?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Shocky2:
Performance wise I have no complaints, most apps run great but compatibility is an issue, the Pixel C might actually be more compatible which is highly strange. The tab 6 is new but SD855 is not.

Battery life is much better of course, the device itself is much thinner, smaller bezels, much better audio quality, the speakers on the Pixel C were awful.

I'm satisfied but I will be getting a replacement, uneven black levels, general issue with oled displays sadly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] zetsumeikuro:
Thanks for the information I appreciate it! Hopefully, you have better oled panel lottery this time around. I'll probably end up picking one up with the keyboard attachment.

Hi, all.

I'm trying to use an external phone as modem to connect to internet. I've done it presiously with my old htc (S200), but now I'm unable to configure in some way the command that Polaris has to send to the modem. The command is +CGDCONT=1,"IP", and in my S200 also there was an option to configure the speed to connect to the modem, the parity, stop bit,

HW flow control, etc...

This option doesn't appear in Polaris. Do you know of some way to perform this configuration?.

Thanks in advance,

lince.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] camoway:
So far I am underwhelmed by the tablets lies about turning off adaptive display. shine your camera flash light at the tab camera and it will get brighter even if you turned OFF adaptive display this is also true under MAX brightness. So the only way to get full brightness is shining a light at the camera array. Lol what a joke. Scrolling at 30-40 fps is also dumb. SAME 855 in my 90hz one plus 7pro and Its scrolls at 90fps. Don't try and say well the tab s6 has a bigger screen. Pixel density is almost the same. So no it must be the screen itself being subpar "more specifically the hardware driving the panel itself". What a disaster... I waited 6 months for this thing to come out and they ruined their own tablet to save what 20bucks in display hardware. WTF Samsung. Hdr content is lacking in any meaningful way. Side by side with my tab s1 1440p looks the same!!!! Oh man.. I hope all this can be fixed by the brilliant amazing people that here. "Most likely yes they can and they will" but I expected more from samsung out of the $700 box. A whole lot more. so now I have to wait a couple months till the kernels and roms are available. Sighs Haha the marketing people must be running samsung. I wanted this to show me the 400nits of hdr goodness.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Reuben_skelz92:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] corwin_amber:
Actually I also find that it is too dim, even on max brightness. I upgraded from the Tab S4, which was also too dim, but it is brighter than the Tab S6 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Makasouls:
I rate it 10 out of 10.

I have both the s6 and s4. The s6 is definitely the brighter of the 2. The s6 is so bright no one in my family can look at it with out it hurting their eyes, but I use vivid with cool, and red, green turned all the way down. I'm typing this to u in direct sunlight with snow all over so even brighter and its in night mode and I can see everything fine. It is way brighter than my old s9 and razer phone 2. Also this generation has done was better on white screens, the s4 and s9 both have a very visible green to pink tinted parts of the screen depending how your holding it. This doesn't seem to have any of that, and I've had my hands on 3 samsung s6 tabs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] abs0lut3z33r0:
Is there a workaround to put it into full brightness mode via software. I bought this tablet mainly for showing pics to client and the brightness limitation is a big issue
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] corb06:
Simply the best!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] Azra4:
You just pull down the quick settings, and slide brightness to the max. Also disable the blue light filter (also from quick settings).

You can also go into settings/display and change the screen mode from natural to vivid - it'll make pictures appear to be brighter by artificially boosting colors. It looks great, but it's not color correct (if that's a concern for you). I'm sure there are photographers and graphic artists out there who have a heart attack at the mere mention of the vivid mode, but to each their own. Personally, I like it.

Some gallery apps (I use Simple Gallery Pro) have the option to automatically turn brightness to 100% when displaying a picture. That should solve your problem nicely.

Coming from Tab S 8.4 and also OnePlus 7T, I'm dissapointed with the Color mode options - there are only 2: Natural and Vivid. I'm missing the Amoled Photo and Amoled Video from older Samsung devices, which were ideal "middleground" between color accuracy and saturation. No idea why Samsung removed them... Natural mode is accurate but too flat for my liking and the Vivid is saturated as hell. I'm used to Amoled photo on my old Tab S and also DCI-P3 on OnePlus 7T, but here I can't find anything that would please my eyes, I'm regularly switching between Natural and Vivid and it drives me crazy...

I think Samsung should include more customization options in the future updates, although I'm aware that most probably they don't care. That's a shame really, because this screen is so nice.

I'm wondering what mode do you guys are using on your Tab S6...

I have had the tablet for a day but wifi randomly stops working. This has happened 3 times today. I have to disconnect and reconnect. It appears to only be the tablet and none of my other devices. Anyone having the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Real Life Review] SO333:
Same here, sometimes Wifi completely crashes and I cannot turn it back on. The slider moves to enabled, but then switches directly back to disabled. Happens mostly after some time of not using the device, so I suspect some power saving features are misconfigured by Samsung.

WiFi Issues

I have to agree with [MENTION=3542414]TheCrowing[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1147228]SO333[/MENTION] . I am having issues with the wifi randomly dropping completely or saying its connected but passing no traffic. My Note10+ right next to it continues along without issues as do other items in the house including a 2nd tab s6 that my SO uses. Then this morning I ran into the issue where the wifi wasnt working so i toggled it off and it would not come back until i restarted the tablet. The indicator would move to enabled and then quickly back to disabled. Now that it was rebooted it reconnected to wifi and is working again for the time being but not confident I'll be keeping this if this issue is going to be ongoing.
