So guys sorry if this post is "usual". But I bought the S5 for about 2-3 weeks now from second hand, also bought a brand new battery and I have remained on Alexander Devbase CPD7(MM 6.0.1) these days. My question is...how do people actually get 5-6h of sot on this phone? My best score was 3:46h of sot. Please give your app usages and tips. Oh and welcome me since I'm new to the s5 community Cheers.
Welcome lol
Nothing special, I just run a debloated stock ROM, 50% brightness is the only thing I change, WiFi is enabled 24/7
I was just showing my battery life with the new OTA 6.0.1 firmware earlier, over 4 hours with 50% battery left

All depends what you're doing on your phone though, if you're using that battery hog facebook app, or even have it installed, it's gonna drain your battery much quicker, or playing games etc
I use mine for WhatsApp, emails, texts and calls mainly, some browsing and easily get 6 hours SoT, today I was headed for 8 hours but forgot and plugged it in at 35%

Hello guys i have been facing absolutely horrible battery life on my s3 i9300 for the past 3 months or so....im currently running archidroid 2 which has absolutely amazing battery life as compared to the other roms that i have used and by that i mean almost all the popular roms that have been made for the s3 i9300 i have changed chargers....i just got a new battery about an hour ago and thats also not helping me at all i lose 2 percent in every 5 mins while doing light tasks like writing this thread and 2 percent in every 3 mins while playing games like clash of clans /fifa 14 ....one of my friends who has an s3 has abolutely amazing battery life he says he loses just 5 percent in one hour of fifa 14 i have disabled sync put my phone on 2g brightness on auto greenified almost all apps...pls help :'(
Yeah, those friends xD. On s3 you can play for about 3-4 hours depending on game. You must take care of screen on time. Look at it on yours friend phone Thats the real time of using your smartphone. Max screen on time that i had was about 5.5h but I was only reading a book. And the 3g browsing eats your battery like a boss I discharged my phone in 2h so thats normal.
Peace

Use BetterBatteryStats to have full control over it. Also, I don't know what apps you have running, but try to use Greenify.
You're running a custom rom, so the culprit can be the kernel too. Use an untouched stock kernel if you want or heavily tweak the custom one you're using.
We can't tell you more than this, because we don't know what you have installed, what you have running and how do you use it.
check out BetterBatteryStats, as already mentioned for the real battery killers.
put down the brightness to a low level
turn off your mobile internet in moments you dont really need it (i.e. during sports). just like you turn off wifi, when you leave your house
Is your phone 2 years old?
Buy a new battery.
try calibrate battery or boeffla kernel
Looks like your battery needs to be recalibrated.
Completely drained your battery & charge it for 8 hours without stopping during the night.
It happened to me too a few weeks ago when I bought a new battery.
Use BBS, greenify & tweaks your kernel settings will definitely help too.
Good luck
I still like the look of the S2
Replace your battery
Either get another Samsung battery - or go big and get ZeroLemon 7000mAh - worth every penny! and you get used to the size & weight pretty fast.
I was thinking of getting this phone mainly because of the better battery, but I couldn't find much information on how much it lasts (SOT/usage) compared to the other Moto G variants.
So, post your battery stats, please!

Got the XT1072 4 days ago, after the first charge i'm on 20% now , light usage, calls, sms, and some browsing, too lazy to up a screen now i'm alredy in bed.
ROM is cm12.1 btw. The Stock rom 5.0.2 was lucky enough to see 1 boot lol.
Nice phone, the only thing i miss is the physical home button to wake up the screen, now i have to reach the power button.
Here you go, this is my battery life on Mokee OS (Release Build)
Really really good battery life.
Stats which do not appear on screenshots :
- 25mn call
- 30-45mn music
- wifi on for 12-15y
- data on (4g/lte) for an hour I guess.
Deep sleep is amazing too
My motorola XT1072 battery averages 1d 16h 46m (9h 0m 60s active usage) on a single charge. Averages 5hr 55mins screen on time in a single charge since March
Do you not use Greenify and Deep Sleep Battery Saver? i'm a light user but get 7-8 days out of mine, 10texts and facebook and twitter for 20mins a day so very light user.
Used Greenify last night at 11.30pm and woke this morning to see the battery at 98% at 9.20am when I checked it, you wont see that on the standard lollipop
Just got the phone today with android 5.0.2 installed, the battery life is terrible, i lost 40% of battery in 2hours!! All i did was install essential apps and surf the net on wifi . Need advice on how to make it last longer, currently planning to root the phone anyway also how long does the battery last when playing emulator games.
Thanks
Give it a couple of days. It's completely normal to use a lot of battery when you are installing/syncing for the first time.
Mine has a very poor battery life now, which replacement battery would you please suggest?
Hi guys
I have just purchased a new LG g4 h815.
I am loving the speed, the looks and everything but I have an issue regarding battery life. I am getting a screen on time of around 2.5 hrs with moderate to heavy use, is it normal for LG g4 though to don't play any games or stuff . Previously I had used a Samsung Note 4 it had an amazing battery life, screen on time was around 3.5 to 4 hrs with moderate to heavy use.
Any suggestions to improve battery life I have turned off location services, auto sync and Bluetooth, screen brightness is @40 % but WIFI is turned on constantly
I have surfed a lots of sites and forums most of them are complaining about the battery life of this phone but still most of them are getting around 3 to 3.5 hrs of screen on time.

The only thing you can do is get back on lollipop. 6h SOT is pretty average score on lollipop

I have basically given up on this phone. Never get any updates (in Norway) and battery is very poor. The worst phone I ever had comparing battery. You should not have to turn off everything and tweak the phone and ask in forums to get good battery time. My father have a samsung brand and don't know **** about android or phones and have he's phone full of crap and never optimized it for anything and he STILL have great battery... Much better than mine. Weird right?
A thing I think, is that this phone struggle with WiFi. I have a lot of wifi disconnects and it gets very hot when it struggles with wifi. Sometimes when im at home I can have 60% left battery and not use it for a while and then suddenly have 40%...
I like this.

That graph is horrendous. You need to check if the phone is real.
Download 'Lg From' in playstore.
Because really, I've never seen a graph like that!

Man, i dont even know what are you talkin' about. I just showed that it can last long, not just the 3-4h SOT like a G2. Imperium Rom and Kernel, Greenify, 15% Brightness, Amplified all Facebook(not Messenger) and Google Wakelocks with 3600s. The phone is a 2 momths old H815.

I really have no idea.. If one could use phone like u did.

Having just gone though the same hassles, I found the only way to get good battery life is to get the latest version of Lollipop (V10F-TWN-XX for me), root and install Greenify to hibernate hungry apps like facebook etc. I find my battery life is now better than my old G2. I get about 3+ hours SOT and lots of standby time. (Its 10:20 am right now, usage on battery is 3h 35 mins, estimated time remaining is 155 hours, 3 % use in last 3h, 28m screen on time) Previously my battery would have been on 50-60% by mid day, now its in the 90s.
I was almost ready to ditch the phone and find something else, which would have been a shame as I like this phone.
What I tried and found along the way:
- Use the battery charger that came with the phone, the charger that came with my phone had a different plug so I used another brand. This was charging my battery too fast and causing it not to hold as much charge.
- I tried almost every Marshmallow stock rom I could find. Nothing seemed to be that great with the battery.
- I disabled wifi when not in use, location bluetooth etc...went back to almost no apps just to see what was causing poor battery, but determined it wasn't anything other than the system.
Anyway, thats what worked for me. Hope that helps.
Great battery life on Genisys for BL developed by Ignacio R. No root, bloatware blocked, Hibernation Manager on board. It's not heavy used, most browser on wifi/lte, g+, youtube.

could you post more specific settings for the modules you posted?
thanks
RR Nougat rom+Llama kernel+Greenify,auto brightness,slider on half,lowered screen resolution to 1080x1920,battery 1 year old
I am getting 3-3.5 hours sot i will change my loving g4 soon. Everything is stock rom MM. Too bad battery life for this beauty
Sorry for the little OT:
Someone can suggest me a MM rom with good battery life and minimal lg bloatware?
Is it Lineage pretty good too in comparison?
I'm now on H-Rom but actually sot time it's ****ty (even using titan kernel and disabled big cores)
Bought this branded exynos s7edge 1 month ago. I founded battery problem since day 1. First i noticed huge standby battery drain, something like 15-20% on 6hours. I have read all threads and post on every forum i found on internet and i tried everything.I made lot of wipe cache, factory reset. I disabled lot of function and bloatware with package disabler. I downloaded better battery stats and also wakelock detector lite.I tried lot of other things that now i can't remember. Now the situation has improved but i think there are other issues. The standby drain is 6-10% over night but whatever I do i can't get more than 4 hours sot. Both on 4g or wifi, gaming or web browsing i get the same amount of sot. And my smartphone is something like a piece of wood, no sync, no push emails, no notifications of 90%apps.
4 hrs sot on 4g is good, but on wifi i think is not. iwith the nexus 5 2300mah battery i could do 3hrs on wifi, 3,30 with low usage.
This s7edge costs 2x and got 50%more battery.
I'm starting to think about a hardware problem.
today i got 21hrs from charge, 4 hrs sot, 30min gaming, 20min instagram 15min whatsapp. no calls. 90% under wifi. spent the whole sot time changing settings,looking at photos and doing virtually nothing.
Unfortunately i can't upload bbs screens.
Did u try flashing other rom with Odin? A stock one offcourse
4hrs sot is completely normal on wifi/4g. Want more sot? Turn your brightness to 10%. There's no problem.
Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
