Guys I am having some issues with the bateery. First of all doze is not working ( there is 3-4% battery drain overnight as opposed to 1% I had before) and second there is some calibration problem with the battery ( sometimes it takes a jump of 2% directly)
SOT is fine as I get nearly 5 hours
These problems started happening after I played around with N preview for a little while and then reverted back to MHC19I completely stock ( N preview had bad battery life + many bugs)
Any help would be great
3%-4% drain is nothing to really worry about, it's when it above 10% then something to look at.

I recently flashed to JM5 + Lagfix 2.3, installed a few apps and played around with the phone until it dropped to 15% battery.. charged it to 100% and went out while i was on the way to my destination i was just exploring around the UI getting to know andriod a little better and I noticed my battery % was dropping like 1% per 1min.. I have the mod for battery indicator with %. my total unplugged time was 2hrs+ my battery was down to 64%. Looking at the battery usage its saying that 75% of it was taken by the display and the run timer was 38mins.. i have the brightness level at 1/4 of the way and it seems to drain unreasonably fast.. all other process was at 2-3% usage only. This never happened when I got the phone for the first 3 days ( came with DXJG4 )
Wifi/bt/gps/autosync/bgdata are all off, using 2G network also and power saving for the display is also off.
Is my battery flakey or just the OS giving me the wrong information ?
Ok so i wiped my internal SD card and reflashed JM5 + repartition again and after booting my battery when to 68% from 53%..
EDIT:
Rebooted the phone and im now getting 56% LOL!
There's a thread about resetting your battery threshold in the development section. Try that.
previously when i reboot my phone, it'll fly from ~20% to ~50% lol. it's just some calibrating issue i think. i drained it to ~5% then charged it up until it NOTIFIES me that it's fully charged(ignore the battery meter / %), wait for the popup thing specifically.
works fine for me.
Hi guys, this is not another rant post about battery life, but i'm starting to become really
frustrating with it, i tried almost all the solutions provided here on the forum but i can't
simply get the **** out of it. This is my story:
I bought the phone as used around 1 month ago (the guy who sold me the phone used it for around 1
month as well). I was quite satisfied about the device, but i noticed almost immediately the damn
poor battery life. With stock battery, my stats are (this is an average of the last 3 times i
used it):
Average duration: 27 hours
Average display usage: 2.5 hours
Average display %: around 45%
Average standby: Cell 30%, phone 15-16, other apps and android core 1-2
This with the following configuration:
3g off
gps off
background data off
bluetooth off
display brightness set to the minimum
no background applications or live wallpapers
No animations
No vibration feedback
No sounds
No widgets
Removed 5 touchwiz panels out of 7
Wi fi on (actually i noticed some small improvements by leaving it off)
The strange thing is, i noticed that the phone drains a LOT of battery while in standby. During
the night (7-8 hrs standby) my phone can drains up to 20% of the battery life. I read on the
forum that a lot of you guys have a battery drain overnight of around 2-3% which is 10 times
lower than mine.
So i thought about 2 possible causes:
1) Software related(processes or applications running in background)
2) Hardware related (battery ****ed up by the previous owner; phone not going in standby correctly)
Regarding the problem 1) i tried almost every solution provided here on the forum. Updated to new roms (JM5 and JM8) installed ultraslim roms, installed battery saving applications and task killers, performed some exotic "fixes" (removed battery stats file, tried to completely drain the battery following some procedures explained here on the forum). Nothing helped. To check case 2) i bought a cameronsino extended battery. Well with this battery i have exactly twice the duration of the stock battery. Last night i charged it to full before going to bed. This morning, when i woke up, the phone drained 10% (!) of the battery in 8 hours. So the stock battery is not the problem. What should i think then? that My phone is ****ed up? is There no chance to obtain a decent battery life? How is possible that a lot of guys have almost twice my battery life with stock battery?
I guess your phone may not be going into the sleep mode correctly ... try using system panel (from the market) and figure out which rogue app is causing the problem. Mine usually drains 4-5% at night.. (jm8 stock + voodoo)...
Since last couple of days I am facing a strange issue ...
Usually while I sleep I am used to checking how much battery is still there ...e.g if the battery is say 95% full at night the next day it becomes at the most 93% (phone in the idle state) !!!
Now comes my problem , since a couple of days i have noticed that the battery is going down by about 7 to 8% in idle state , then i checked the battery consumption in the phone settings & to my surprise I saw "Android OS" taking 56% of battery in idle state & that means something is continuosly running in the background eating up my precious battery...What the hell can it be ??
I have not installed any indifferent app recently ...
I recently bought this phone and I have noticed that the battery is draining fast. The battery level dropped by almost 10% in 15-20 mins while I was just doing normal texting. I have used the phone in safe mode as well and in standby mode the phone just lasted for 24 hrs as opposed to 3 days of standby time as claimed by Samsung. So I was just wondering if there is an issue with my battery or with the phone or if this is normal in S6 edge plus?
Stats according to GSAM Battery Monitor,
Used 85% in 20 hr 10 min
phone - 0%
Screen - 2 hr 47 mins - 25%
Phone radio - 20 hr - 6%
Wifi Active - 20 hr - 3%
Held awake - 7 hr - 1%
App usage - 64% (With Android OS - 24% and Kernel - 10%)
I have already tried restarting the device and the problem still exists and always keep location off. And in terms of data I keep my wifi on and the apps that I use r only 3-4 like facebook, whatsapp, instagram. The main source of battery drainage is android system and screen. I was wondering is it possible that there is a problem with my battery/hardware and I should get it replaced? or it just could be a bug in the system that can go away after the marshmallow update? Coz originally I thought that there is a problem with my battery but now it seems like it could be an Android OS bug.
Had similar issue.
I had similar issue,
Looks like Samsung software's were using lot of RAM and battery.
Disabled most of the apps which I don't use and also the Microsoft stuff.
NFC off. Smart stay off,
Now battery backup is good.
I think everyone is having the same issue with the battery. If the marshmallow update doesn't fix all the issues I'm having I'm jumping ship. I'm at 77% with 58 m on screen time

Yes. I guess u r right, a lot people r complaining about the battery issues. For me i just used my phone for 45 mins with the same screen time and got down to 79% from 100%.
But its surprising to see how some people r getting tremendous battery performance with the screen time of almost 6 hrs in one full charge. Which makes me feel is there a problem with my phone hardware or its just an android system bug.
I have the same problems and I did a lot of testing. I am only getting as much as 10h of TOTAL battery time (I am not talking about SOT). Get it out of the charge at 7~8AM and have to charge it 5PM. I did a post about it here.
My battery is draining like crazy when IAM not using my phone iam losing like 5% an hour. every morning i found my phone switched off even though I have 50% battery left while I go to sleep here's the strange part it works completely normal if I continuously used my phone for 2 to 3 hrs straight
And what do you expect now from us? I mean you didn't share any screenshots of the battery usage, history etc...
