I've just jumped ship to the LG G4 after I was getting annoyed with my s6 battery. I hated the fact that for it to be vaguely good, you had to disable pretty much everything!
I've just been doing a little tweaking on my new G4 and I let it sit with all my normal apps installed to test standby. I just got to 8 hours 44minutes before the battery dropped to 99%. ( I was playing with it since the 8 1/2 hour mark).
How? I installed Greenify and Amplify.
ROM: S3V3N's rom v 6.0
Greenified:
Facebook ( Wake up path cut off)
Facebook messenger ( wake up path cut off)
My EE
One drive
Onenote
Facebook is known to be a big drain, but I use it and don't like to fully disable it. With these settings I still get Facebook notifications!
I still receive gmail etc too. It all seems to work as it should, but doesn't drain for no reason!
The typical LG (G3/G4) slow-drop-from-100-percent "issue".
G4 has it (using a proper setup), G3 has it. It says *nothing* :good:
Case in point, very old G3 pic (8 months ago or so):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k6aanjf6bgcpygj/BFE6123FCFDA_LG G3_2_PORTRAIT.png?dl=0
Once the battery drops to 99, the "real" drain starts
Ahaaa thats not how it works. Keep using the phone till you get to 10% and then compare to the s6. You will notice s6 has better battery life.

I've never understood why people try to get every possible second out of the battery. They disable half the functions of the phone just to get a better battery graph. I prefer to enable everything and use the phone as it was designed for. Otherwise, you may as well just buy a basic Nokia.

Great job. I like to keep most features on but I don't want to be a data generator for Google.
I also limit RILJ and WiFiOffdelayifNotUsed in Amplify
Greenify: nope.
Amplify: nope.
Amazing (meaningless) 100%-99% drain? Of course.
Having a flat line for 8 hours when battery for example is at 25%, okay, yes then I'll be amazed. But from 100 to 99? Nope. Typical LG issue.
Im at 88% after 47 minutes screen time and 20hours 15 mins on battery. With only 2 bars of mobile signal.
Id say that's pretty damn good considering i haven't had to disable any features on the phone!
My S6 was nowhere near as good.
Post using Gsam at the end of the battery cycle, say 10%. with the app sucker list.

Just installed Gsam, checked after half hour and guess what..
Top of app sucker list.
1)Android system : 10%
2) GSam battery monitor: 8.1%
So looks like Gsam will screw up my test as its now causing drain :/

The irony
The old eternal question about battery.....? Guys you bought the phone to be as it is. You can take spare battery or charger with you. Unless you go to hike mount Everest. Even then you have solution.
But one i am agreed is that we shouldn't be Googles data provider.

I don't know why gsam is even in that list. anyone know ?
But let it run down to 10% and post the summary.

Could be a while before im at 10%!
Gsam says it was plugged in 11hours ago. It wasnt! That was when gsam was installed
And before anyone says 'you havent used your phone' that is the point of this test!
You cant expect a phone to last long when you're using it if it doesnt last long when you're not using it!
i get amazing battery life just by disabling Google location services and Google Now... ever since i did that, my battery life rivals my old iPhone 6 Plus in stand-by mode, i usually get a 3-5% battery drain while asleep at night (7-8 hours)

Averages per complete charge.... Screen on is just over 3hr. Nothing special. Battery can last for a week if you never turn the screen on.

stats at 10% otherwise it means squat.
so you know what we want to see.
1. gsam summary page, along with the app lists ( this means 2 screen grabs)
2. stock battery usage with the graph page (this has apps listed as batery consumers)
3. click the graph and post that too (this has no apps instead it has lines at the bottom showing when gps, wifi, cell, awake and charging bar charts)
total 4 screen grabs.

how long is long for you ? in terms of sot and run time.
And what do you consider acceptable in terms of sot/run time ?

On my s6 the phone never lasted more than 2 days and i was lucky to get 3 hours screen time.
Most i ever had on the s6 was 4 hours with lower brightness than i have on the G4.
I don't need gsam or any other app to show me the g4 is lasting longer.

I'd say that your test is completely pointless. You're just testing the battery consumption of a brick in your pocket!
How realistic is it to carry around a smartphone that you don't use at all for >2 days.
In my view it's just a big waste of time what you're doing there...

Not really, because before the tweaks, the standby drain was much bigger.
Lower standby drain = more screen time, so now I know it drains less in standby I should get better battery life in ' normal' usage and more screen time.
A pointless test is person X saying " My battery life is awful" and not stating which apps they have installed and what their mobile signal is like.
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.

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...

Excellent!! Do u think it will last 5 1/2 to 6 hours with 3g on throughout the day? I'll be running social media apps, heavy browsing all the day, maybe an hour of YouTube and occasional gaming.
I'd returned moto g turbo becuz it failed to go through the day with such usage. Do u think moto g4 will be a different case in terms of battery?

With WiFi on most of the time and with normal useage I got close to 6 and half hours of SOT..So with 3g on throughout the day you should get atleat 4 and half to five hours of ..as 3g always takes out more battery life than WiFi.. (Even 10-15 min of continuous gaming will drain battery quite quickly.. If you are a gamer don't buy this device.. But for the price and the promise to get quick updates this phone is the best in the market..)
Kinda heavy use! Always on wifi, with an hour of gaming in it! I am satisfied with it by far.
Again normal use with no gaming, WiFi on throughout and poor cellular network signal...

I got a 5.5 hours SOT with fully connected to Wifi or 3G mobile data(Wifi if home else 3G). Additionally, I also had voice call worth an hour. I havn't tried with gaming. I am no gamer. But it lasts for close to 2 days with one charge.

Yeah..Stand by time is not very impressive but decent enough.. Yesterday I did use it constantly without much standby time and I am very happy with it.. Browsing (most of the time), Tweeting, 30 minutes video , 2 hrs of 3G use, even played piano tiles 2 for 10 odd min even though I am not a gamer at all.[emoji2]

Great!! Battery life just get's more and more impressive after every charge..(Latest result was after my 3rd charge)..The only problem is it gets quite a bit warm even after using cam for 5-10 mins..Hopefully Moto will fix the heating problem in the next few updates..Other than that for 15k price range..I think this device is the best in the market only for the promise of fast updates and stock android..

No..It turns on only after Battery is at 5%..
I have GSam installed on almost four handsets. One Plus2, One Plus3, Moto X play, and Moto G 4.
On all these noticed that the Battery Charge as well as Discharge graph has stopped showing 29% and 58% reading.
Yes, this issue is there in ALL THE FOUR Handsets.
It's showing as if the battery missed or jumped both during charging as well as in usage...I have tried installing the app after uninstalling it but no use.
Can anyone suggest anything?
