Just wondering how much battery life you guys are getting on average.
Please post battery life, screen on time, kernel, and ROM.
I charge my phone every night so my total time is usually 13-14 hours
Getting about 3.5 hours screen time with about 15% left (will post screenshots tomorrow, I've been flashing a couple new kernels and roms so my battery life is terrible today XD)
My best results have been on franco r93 and unofficial PUB build 5
There's already a thread about this.
Find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992627
I'm getting barely more than 3 hours SOT despite making every suggested change I can find. I'm starting to think the battery is faulty, but the voltage on a full charge according to GSam Battery Monitor is the stated 4.35 volts (4.32 in one of the screenshots I have) so I'm not sure.
Current setup: Seraph's CM13.0 build with Boeffla kernel. Using the zzmoove governor and I limited the touch boost to 900Mhz (also tried disabling it to little effect). Greenify set to auto hibernate most apps.
I've seen people state they get 5-6 hours SOT, so I'm frustrated I'm not even close. Seraph's build made the phone perform more like I'd hoped when I first bought it, but the battery life is a nightmare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what is normal, but my battery life is more or less similar. I'm on OOS 2.2.1.
Use Exodus, Halogen, Oxydium, or Hydrogen OS. Try CM Roms after they merge OOS3 sources.
You should get 4-6 hrs sot on single sim LTE over 24hrs, or 3-4hrs SOT on dual sim over 24 hrs, as per my experiences.

Thanks - I was thinking about Hydrogen OS so I guess that's the next attempt!
Hello XDA members. I've been struggling to get a good battery life. My aim is atleast a day of usage along with a minimum of 4 hours SoT. Currently on XtreStoLite 3.3.1 Rom with Arter Kernel (SM-G920I).
If you search for a thread called 'Galaxy S6 battery is insane', you will notice some tips, and the op is mentioning getting 8 hours of SoT.

Idk how is this possible, implying that it generally is. I'm on my own self heavily debloated stock (basically as light as XtreSto but the base is the latest one) with arter kernel 21.0 (best release imho) and I get 3.5hrs SoT average. I use Greenify and got rid of ****ty apps long time ago - talking mainly about Facebook.
The thing is that nobody even posted a screenshot of this ridiculous SoT score so I can hardly believe it.
That's there. However, I could see 2 screenshots of 8 hours and 10 hours of SoT. Might be a screenshot from some other phone
man 8h sot or 10 h sot is impossible. And dont trust all you see in the battery threads.
This phone is capable of maximum 6h 30 sot on wifi with light usage..i mean reddit ,xda
4h sot with heavy usage.
And 3h on 3g
Dont expect any more.

It's just impossible imho with qHD and 2600 mAH battery combined
Okay. Another suggestion.
I'm on XtreStoLite 3.3.1 Rom. Using stock kernel, Greenify, DisableService to increase battery life. Any other suggestions? (If any app, please give detailed settings ). Thanks
I had 7.5h SoT on 5.1.1 full stock without much tweaking, so this is completely real. However this is 2g+wifi. On 3g and lte I can hardly get 3h on any ROM
How the F can you achieve 4h+ on Samsung S6??? I'm new to S6, tried atleast 5 ROMs and 2 kernels (arter and nogeek) and by any chance I didn't get more than 3h SOT ...
Interactive (Max. battery)(underclocked)(undervolted) + noop i/o + HEBF app = 4h sot on 3g. 6,5h sot Wi-Fi for me.
@edit
Ahh i forgot.. +GovTuner
Okay. And any kernel suggestions?
On G920T i'm using firestorm for better performance. Twisted/arter for better battery life. I think it's possible to get 7h+ sot on wifi.

Yup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/orig-development/firestorm-kernel-v1-t3431114
Thanks for this thread. Went with xStreSoLite and arter 21 kernel and so far it's looking really good. Atleast 4h+ SOT looking to be.
Well. I'm finally back to everything stock. Just have the EZ Disabler app.
How's Arter 22 vs 21 vs Hacker Kernel ?
Combination of WiFi on(75%) and off(25%).
I think you can tweak and flash all you want. The main reason for drain on the phone is the brightness. So just turn it down as low as you can (I am on auto and about 1/3 of the brightness slider). Like this I get around 4 hrs of SOT, depending on where I am (autobrightness). If I start turning the brightness up, it just sucks up my battery in no time. So I think all this flashing and especially undervolting and underclocking your chip don't do much except maybe slow your phone down and make it instable. And all the time you spent on the tweaking process, you might as well have used otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I also used to do it, just because I could and because I liked it, but looking and it now, it just wasn't worth the time. Just close your background apps from time to time, disable and uninstall those you don't need, use an appropriate network speed (you probably don't always need LTE) and turn down the brightness.

^ Basically this
I currently use my phone heavily with Xtrestolite 3.3.1 (Android 6.1) with the following:
Kernel: Arter97 kernel(interactive)
Google: MicroG to replace Google Play crap
Apps: Amplify / AppopsXposed / Greenify / Titanium Backup
With most crap uninstalled/frozen SOT-times vary heavily depending on brightness and use, for example I use Snapchat and Instagram a lot so I need to SEE what happens on the screen without putting effort in it which in some occasions forces me to tune up brightness.
Most likely if I were to use 5.x Android instead of 6.x it would decrease overall battery use but my phone is currently running smooth so I don't want to go through the hassle to get that working.
I don't see why you all are not getting good battery life. This phone has awesome battery life.

My screen on time is a little over 2 hours.. some people brag about 4 hour + sot. How is this accomplished? Also post your sot.
Running OnePlus one Resurrection remix 7.1.1 with stock kernel. Similar sot on cm13.

Thread closed. There is a thread for battery life here: One Plus One ALL about battery thread.How's your battery life?
Guys what is the average SOT we can get out of a 4100 mah battery phone like our own redmi 3s ??
I am currently on RR N unofficial by woivod and getting a SOT of about 8 hours on average but i have seen people getting 10-12 hours SOT too, how can i increase it??
what do you think?
I think 15 hrs max
But sd is powercinsuming soc
Flash xiaomi.eu developer miui 8 and keep battery saver always on.You will get maximum sot.

Go, flash the Nitrogen OS. (Oreo 8.1.0)

Then follow these instructions by me-

I got 16 hrs+ SOT! Don't believe me? See that SS on the second thread. The ROM is just awesome. When combine with these settings you get insane battery life and SOT!

Based on your review, I did flash NOS 8.1. The backup is good so far.
