now getting 5 hours screen time and it's working flawlessly.
I did a factory reset and a new battery.. plus I use package disabler not sure if that really helps. I'm not rooted. the update has been great.
recommendations hard reset and new battery

A new battery?! ?
Yeah, 4.5-5 hours of SoT is the average battery life on MM, unless your battery is too old I think.

My battery is one year old now and I am getting 5.30 hours of OST with marshmallow .. so I guess it's not so much about the battery
I had to change the battery as it was discharging too rapidly. easy solution. what would it cost to change battery if it was the note 5? I'm hoping the note 6 has a replaceable battery

There is no problems with battery life. And how could we possibly predict what marshmellow has in store for battery life for this device?

Ya its already good. I used a regular s6 and the plus manages the battery much better. Its 430 now and i have been unplugged since 530 this morning. Im at 67%
Thats with light use but the s6 prob would have been down to like 40 with the same amount of use.

To put it in perspective I took my note 4 with a brand new battery off charge at 9am its now 3 40 and I have 52 percent left and 2h25 SOT with very light usage, will I see better than this with the edge ?

I haven't had a phone with this good battery life in a year, except for the iPhone 6 plus which seem to have equally good battery life.
But yeah the standby time should be better on all phones with marshmallow.

Hey Folks,
It's been more than three years since the phone was released. Many would have replaced the battery similar to stock or higher capacities.
Let's share the battery life and usage of our phones. I have attached snapshots of my phone from GSAM battery monitor app. I have installed a 4400mAh Anker extended battery.
Please share yours. Cheers. :good:
Hi! Mi S3 has three years as well. You can see the date that it was built with the app Phone Info-Samsung- in the playstore. Mine it has a stock ROM, and with heavy usage (games, chrome and youtube) (didn't change the battery since got the phone), it gives 3h and 30 min screen on time. Very well to a phone that have three years. Greetings.
Stock battery 2 years plus
Offline Manga reading 5Hrs SOT
Online browsing 2~4hrs
Online streaming 2~4hrs
Gaming 2~3hrs
:C
3 1/2 years
Using Lollipop it drains in 4 hours of moderate using.
Using KitKat I can use the phone for 6 hours of moderate using.
I have been using my S3 since 1 year and 10 months and can go for 6-7 hrs with heavy usage
I bought my S3 in Sept 2013 so it has been close to 2yrs now and I have switched to Zero lemon which is 7000 maH monster..it lasts me for 3 days easily with super heavy usage...if I keep it in stand by it can last me for 20+ days without any issues...
I'm still using the stock battery. I've another stock battery as spare.
So far it working well with average of 7-8 hrs battery life with light usage.
Recently, I just use the Battery Repair app to repair some bad cells in the battery. Hopefully it will prolong the battery life a bit more.
Hi ******. Thats great timing so is yoir smartphone stable with this big monster 7000Mah . Can you guide me a bit so that i can buy one that i am sure about . I have galaxy s3 i9300 with 2 hours 3g use help me out

I changed recently to original Samsung's 3000mAh and would recommend it everyone who hesitate :good:
My S3 is now my second phone, so fairly light usage. Stock battery, 3 years 2 months old. Flashed Belokta Note 4 rom 5.1, Boeffla kernel 7.9. Greenify and Amplify. Able to achieve 2.5 days off the charger and 1 hour 15 mins SOT. Wi-Fi whenever possible. Not bad for a 3 year old battery and great work for the developers.

Wow, excellent score, seems like I need to try Boeffla
hello,
i ordered a moto x play two days ago and i will get my device today or tomorrow. Now i am not sure if i should upgrade to marshmallow. Regarding to some posts here the battery life seems to suffer from the update. Is this true? Do you have the same battery life with 6.0 as with 5.1.1 ? For me battery life is kind of crucial. I chose the moto because of the good battery.
I'd love to know your opinion.
Thanx in advance.
Battery life seemed a bit lower on 6.0 than on Lollipop for a few days. Now, it's stabilized, and I'd say it's almost as good

No the battery performance hasn't gone down but has instead remained same or been better now.

It's been great for me. 7-8 hrs sot with stock kernel and now on track to get 10 with Squid kernel.
I get 10+ hours SOT . With stock mm.. dual sim and mobile data.
I usually play around with the autostarts app and titanium backup. I guess, i can root my device and i will then be able to optimize the phone i like with these tools.
Thanx for your answers. I still would like to get some more votes.
regards.
I think the only difference MM can make will be due to optimizing certain apps. Its sucha shame that google play services cant be optimized. I am finding its better than LP.
Offtopic - I had a S5 (g900h) with LP 5.0.1 stock and samsung had this optimization option which lead to an awesome battery life. This is why I believe that can be the only thing which can make it better
It depends on your usecase. If you are constantly on the phone, they won't differ much. If your phone is screen-off most of the time, Marshmallows Doze mechanism can save you a ton of battery life (assumping you jumpstart it with Naptime or similar). It could possibly be matched or even overcome if you REALLY fine tune a lollipop setup with Amplify, but from a technical standpoint doze is far better, because the OS controls when the device wakes up, not the apps themselves. Also, the most recent (best?) kernels will only be for MM.
Battery drains during standby mode. Overnight battery drops upto 3-5 % is it normal? I am on 5.1.1

2-3-4% is expected for 10 hour . see if location and wifi are turned on in advanced setting. it depends on the apps you are running. post screenshot.

That's absolutely great.
It means if 4 percent decreases in 8 hours it's about 1 percent in 2 hours. Me too has same result although in between 8 hours I took a 3 minute call and my alarm rung.

Hi.
My battery life has been very crappy lately.
Ive rooted. Flashed Audax. Installed amplify and xposed and used the glassfish governor as well as naptime. The standby hours raised from 9h to 12h but sot is still the same. 1h 30 mins !!
All i use is whatsapp and facebook and gmail!!
Is there's any hope? I love my phone but the battery is really making me think of ditching it.
Me too i barely get 2 hours got only 3 in miui

I do not want to disappoint you but gsmarenas review of the nougat update for the s7 proved that the battery is worse thab marshmallow and the whole resolution thing didnt cut anything.
So...didn't like to resort to this but Greenify is really good on this phone.
I still get more than 3h SOT with at least 12hr stand by time.
My phone is 13 months old.
Could it just be you need a battery replacement?
Here's my battery life leaving charger off until 2% and this is what the iber driver app running 24 hours which is a battery drainer!! I can easily get a day without Uber on... And this is also 8 hours SOT never had that before!

Yeah I out of habit threw my phone on the charger on a ride to the store it raised it about 7% but the phone only tracks "time on battery" and it was only a 30 minute slow charge. It's still far and beyond any phone I've ever used

My battery life have been really good so far also. I switched to an iPhone last October when the not got recalled and was impressed with the battery life and this is pretty close to the what I was getting from the iPhone
I didn't even get that with my s7edge with bigger battery. Not sure how that's possible. I get that now with my Mate 9 on a good day, but that's a 4000 capacity battery.

It's the combination of the 10nm SoC with the 8 cores that does all the difference. Runs cooler and has 4 cores for both light and heavy task to distribute the load. That coupled with the software optimization makes it a battery sipper. If you think that's good wait until you see the pixel 2 with the SD 830. I'm sure it'll be phenomenal.
Quite the opposite experience for me with my S8+. Compared to my iPhone 7 Plus and my S7 Edge that I recently sold the battery is not good at all. I have had the phone for 3 days now and I am consistently ending my workday with less than 40% left on the battery (somewhere around 35%) with only 4.5h of SOT. I can see that there are processes that are draining the battery in the background, for example DeX which I had to force stop. Note that I am not using DeX and have never used it so I don't even know why the service would be running. My version is using the SD835 chip.
mine is amazing
this is my first full charge

TMobile American snap Drago.. pre update (I have bixby button remapped)
Seems pretty on par or a little lower than the S7 edge. I've reached 8+ hours of SOT and an average of over a day and 6-7 hrs of SOT. It's a US SD820 ATT.

With my.use being consistent across my last 3 Galaxy devices. Note 5 s7edge and note 7 I have never gotten anywhere near this... Best I had was 4.5 hours on my note... But the Uber driver app always just eats through my battery.

Full resolution for me in high performance mode. I don't do any of that battery saver crap. If I wanted to have reduced performance I would have not bought a $1000 phone. I only use auto brightness.

I am comparing it to my S7 Edge that was running the same Nougat OS and to my 7 Plus. Both achieve better battery life. I never went home with my S7 Edge with less than 50% battery. iPhone is generally around 65%.
