Galaxy S6 Edge+ Battery Drains In Sleep Mode

Battery drain
Hi there,
im a proud owner of beautiful edge+ with a massive problem.
My battery goes bye bye in sleep hours 40 to 50%. I sleep 7 hours, my phone is at 75%..when i woke up, it was at 20%... the only thing i have on is the edge timer..power saving on and the not disturb on as well during sleep.
Im a recent guy on android..any help would be appreciated...i really don´t know how or what is draining the battery. It´s stock with google now launcher..pretty basic...
Another thing...why can´t i unnistall the messenger app (fb?)
Thanks in advance.
I also have a standby time drainage on my edge+. I would like to know how to prevent this. I've used package disabled but in the end, it didn't do much for my battery Drain.

If you are not rooted use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
You can disable whatever you want.
Try to isolate the offending app or service.

Yes, the S6 Edge+ battery definitely drains fast in standby. I have the VZW variant. With my previous phones (Note 2, 3 and 4), the battery would drain about 1% per hour during standby while I was sleeping (w/ Wi-Fi on). My S6 Edge+ seems to drain at a rate of 5% per hour with Wi-Fi on. With Wi-Fi off, then the rate drops to 2%-3% per hour.
I'm amazed/jealous at my wife's iPhone 6 Plus. It literally has no standby battery drain. Go to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 6am...battery still at 100%.
I'm getting about 3.5 - 4 hours of SOT. Overall, my battery life is slightly worse compared to my Note 4. But I still really like the phone.
Not at All..
I also Owned this beautiful device..
5d+ standby and 1 hour Sot and 37% remaining
Not bad near me..

Hey. I recomend u arter97 kernel. It saves battery in deep sleep(7 hours screen off and drained %4 only). I think its better than stock kernel's..
I have battery drain only 5% with wi-fi off. If wi-fi is on than 20% drainage.

It's strange. With my Note 2-4, I had less battery battery drain with wi-fi on.
My egde+ runs about 1% each hour in standby with wifi on.
My phone is just out of the box no other apps installed.
I had the same problem, I installed JuiceDefender, it reduces the battery drainage.
I'm getting no drainage during sleep mode

Poor batter life

I changed from Note 3 to s 6 edge plus recently
The battery drops 5% per hour overnight when not in use. If I go to bed with less than 40% battery at night I am sure to wake up with my phone switched off in the morning.
When in use with screen on, the battery drips one percent every two minutes. This is the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. I was a long loyal customer of samsung and this is my last samsung phone ever.
Extremely disappointed
Please post your battery stats ? so we can have a better understanding of your problem. I suggest you install 'Doze' which should stop unnecessary apps from connecting to the internet and causing your phone to awake from deep sleep.
Dear Akbar 11
Heres the battery stats....is it normal?
I had the same issue, and as far as I managed to find out, it is a bug in Samsung's kernel. Flashing Arter97 kernel solved the issue for, but do post battery stats from SmartManager. If it says 'Android' or 'Android OS', then you have the same problem many of us do.
I don't think it's a kernel problem. My android OS is very low 4%. Like zoolok said post your battery stats from settings, battery, battery usage
I have the same problem. Battery was great before I flash custom rom. After going back to stock I have big battery draining. I must stay on custom rom. With Audax rom and Skyhigh kernel i have great battery life.
You have either messed up something big or you have an app in the background that is eating up your battery like no tomorrow.
And the reason i say that is because i recently got this battery life on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
And this was taken 2 days ago.
Here i use the CRISSCROSS ROM, AudaxPro Kernel, Greeinify and Samsung's own 'Appoptimizing' feature (same as Doze in Android 6.0).
So my battery life is pretty awesome.
i have problem whit battery lose 25% when i sleep
This is a usual day with s6 edge plus
Any help?

i have this problem battery ... if u fixed it tell me how?
Well I was expecting Google Play Services to be eating your battery (which is quite common) but it looks like your Andriod OS is eating the most battery. I would uninstall Facebook and use the web version it always helps with the ram and battery furthermore, turn off location if you are not using it and check accounts which are being synced. These are the only tips I can give you as I have never seen Android OS drain so much battery.
Since a few days Google Play Store is eating up my battery: I go to sleep with 100% batt and wake up with 50%, if I check batt stats on top I have play store at 45%, with 5h active a d 2h of CPU.
Follows Android system at 5%.
Going crazy why...

You've charged your phone 4 times during that day. I can't see what's the interesting part here.

Galaxy S5 G900T Battery drain when screen is on.

I have received a Galaxy S5, the G900T version - T-Mobile USA.
At first I thought the battery was gone.
After 7 hours (overnight) it didn't lose even 1 percent. Standby time is great. There are no issues.
But when the screen is on, the battery drains very fast. I get max. 3h 45. minutes of SOT.
I also have a G900F and I manage to get 6 or 7 hours of SOT, using the same apps, in the same manner.
Any thoughts?
Switch batteries between the two S5's and see if the G900F still has the same good battery life
Switched the batteries. It's the same result. The European version gets great screen on time. The American one drains like crazy when the screen is on.
The G900t (American) is rooted and debloated. So that's funny.
What's also curious is that the standby time on G900T is great.
I have never seen anything like this - great standby and drainage only when the screen is on.

Yeap. It's the first thing I did. Anyway, the phone is for my son.
The standby is great, so he'll have to charge it more often. Almost 4h of SOT isn't all that bad.
Thanks.
Well you've got youtube set as the top battery draining app, so yea playing youtube is going to reduce SoT considerably, video and games will eat the battery
Works fine on the European version using youtube. I get at least 1h and 15 min vs 45.

I have G900T and its battery drain pattern is similar.

Does marshmallow firmware solve the cell standby battery drain?

Hi all
currently still using lollipop and wondering if its worth instally marshmallow. is the battery life better and have less battery drain then on lollipop?
Thanks
DOSE does help to extend the battery life of the Note 4, when it's not being used and is still powered on.
Forgjve me for asking but are you joking or do you mean that the cell standby usage drops with marshmallow compared to lollipop? Im looking for any possible ways to get thjs reduced. My cell standby percentage is almost 30 and 40%
Hello: In my particular case, before in 5.1 i have 1% per hour of battery drain, now with Marshmallow i have 3 % EVEN with Doze per hour, so in my case make worse my cell phone and with more lag.
So in my case again. I don't recommend you upgrade your phone.
But Cell Standby with Lollipop is terrible....its using so much battery!
Does marshmallow help to get rid of cell standby?
Anyone?
after last update i have heavy cell standy usage. I want to sell my note 4 and go for s7 edge

Standby Battery Drain

I've had the phone just a week and if I am using heavy then the battery is pretty good, lasts 4 hours plus. Better than my G5.
However, if I am barely using and only sending the occasional WhatsApp and not much else, then the battery doesn't seem to last as long, for example it drained to 50% today with very little use, only 1 hour of SOT. Wifi and location were on, but Bluetooth off.
I've taken some screenshots of battery stars with gSam. Could someone help me decipher what is causing the drain? Or if this is normal behaviour?
Everyone is saying that this phone has amazing standby battery life because of 7.0, Doze, etc. So I am confused!

Looks like you have something running in The background keeping it from falling into deep sleep which is why. Unfortunately I suck @ troubleshooting these kinds of scenarios. My guess would be a Google service of some type. My brother had a problem with Gmail one time that was draining his battery while the phone was in sleep
