New Battery Life Discussion - Galaxy S6 General

I know there are many like this. But some have very basic methods, that may or may not work. Since most/all threads are currently inactive, I thought of creating a new one. MOD: YOU CAN DELETE THIS THREAD IF YOU WISH
So let's start giving this 2 year old phone, a battery life. Every post claiming with tips/tricks should also provide a screenshot of their Screen On Time, and Time on Battery (since unplugged/ full charge)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...crypted-galaxy-s6-battery-life-t3120047/page2
The above is a link to an xda thread, where a person claimed to have some improvements in battery life due to encryption.

There is no tricks or adjustments. there is no way we are in the hands of Samsung for some we expect updates

In my case, I use arter97 kernel, underclock CPU to 1200/1600 (default 1500/2100), I read ebook over 7 hours a day, the battery can last one day with wifi always on

Rom ? Any screenshot?

I think that I may have worse battery life than MM, also for some reasons the estimated battery life is stuck at learning device patterns. Any thoughts?

Stock battery? Stock ROM? Which kind of use? WiFi, 4g, Bluetooth, GPS on?
Could You use accubattery and check atual battery capacity (use 7d)?

I've realised that most roms just have false claims of giving better battery life. Nothing works.

I've got s7 edge battery in g920f. Can't get 2h SOT
How is Your stats guys. I think that Android N drain my battery even more that 6 did.

I have s7 edge in my s6 flat with NNE 3.0 rom battery 6h SOT from 95% to 7% and all things activated wifi,gps,Aod,screen brightness 75%....

Wow. That is unreal. How long does it take you to calibrate battery? Do You think Its roms fault that drain my battery so quick? I have a android wear watch connected at all times

you guys posting these kind of results and I'm sitting here with my 1 y o s6 barely getting 2 hours of sot. tried different roms but now i never get more that 2.5-3h

I dont use bt and for calibration let the battery discharge to 0 and get the phone shutdown and full charge the battery.
Do this for 3 or 4 cycles and that all i do.

You're using HSDPA, which uses a LOT more power than WiFi. Screen brightness, animations, screen on time, signal strength, Overclocking & undervolting all affect your battery life.
Brightness at 30-40% is a good compromise,
Using WiFi rather than HSDPA/3G is also a good thing to do,
Using only some animations helps battery life,
Varying signal strength (e.g. if your phone is constantly searching and going up or down can put strain on the battery,
Overclocking can put a huge amount of stress on the battery as it has to provide the CPU with more power than normal (likewise underclocking uses less CPU power and can help you save battery),
Using different schedulers e.g. BFS will affect battery life too.
Finally, just using the Sense UI can have an adverse impact on your battery.
Also please post your battery use as that'd help identify your power hungry applications

I think it's not battery/rom problem but kernel problem. Very similar issues were reported in Infinity thread. Sometimes battery percentage falls/going up suddenly. I've noticed this problem too.
it seems wifi's the culprit (many say that), try switching it off and checking battery life

But the battery neither drains the way it says or charges on itself. If you let that cycle continue you'll see. After the second time "charging itself" it has around 20-30% battery left and stays that way until it turns itself off if lower than 1%
That of course might not be, if your phone drains 50%+ within 2 hours

Can't complain about battery life neither.

Throw Out Your Z5 Marshmallow SoT Screenshot

Hi all,
Lemme give you some of my information about my Z5 before we throw our SoT screenshot.
I bought it on UK amazon last October and it was international version. I checked it on Xperifirm and it said mine was taiwan version.
I was having battery drain problem and was guessing the problem was because different region might cause battery drain problem due to mobile data support. So I flashed it on US version and wanted to compare the battery life before and after update.
Due to new user policy I am not allowed to post the link to my SoT image, so i might just let you guys throw out screenshots. But for me I got 3h 43m screen on time when the battery is 16%. I unplugged the charge at 10am in the morning and record it at 1 am next day.
So here it is guys. If you updated your Z5 to 6.0 would you mind throwing out your SoT screenshot and give a comment about how you think about the battery performance for marshmallow so far.
Have a nice day!
You can't post a link to an image?

Can someone help me figure outwhy my phone is constantly awake? looks like I should be getting at least an hour more screen time. Only have a few basic apps- Facebook, messenger, inbox, snapchat. seems like my android os is constantly downloading over WiFi? 53,000+ packets received via android OS - anyone else have this?
Pretty sure Facebook and Snapchat are huge drainers.

I updated recently so haven't had the chance to check battery time yet, but back on 5.x I noticed a huge difference when I uninstalled the Facebook app. I replaced it with just the mobile version since its nearly just as good anyways.
I don't use snapchat, but Facebook is on mine with emails constantly using data. Mostly on WiFi except about an hour a day.
Yesterday was a day for testing and making sure it all work. Wasn't a normal day, but you should be getting a little more. If you have just updated leave it a few days. Could be just setting up.

i bought the galaxy s7 edge yesterday in b&h (new york) and im not living in new york
(So there is no one I can turn to him)
i bought the galaxy s7 edge because the 3600 Mah battery (before the galaxy i had iphone 5s)
After about an hour and a quarter had been 83 %
10 hours and the phone turn to 0%
Is there anything I can do ?? Facebook has been deleted and is still the same
Edit: maybe its because the sd card?
you can try and do a factory reset. My edge had average battery life when I first got it. Did a factory reset and battery life has improved dramatically.

First off, give it a few days to adapt. From the little information you provided, I can see that there are no apps that are optimised. The software will automatically optimise and will save power on apps that aren't used in three days.
Secondly, we need more information. Please post what apps are draining what percentage of the battery, whether or not you have the Exynos version or the Snapdragon version, and so forth.
From the battery menu, click on battery usage and scroll down to see what apps are draining your battery

As said, wait a few days. Battery use will get better.
It's also dependent on many things. Brightness setting, cell reception, apps installed, app use etc etc...

As other have stated, give it a few days to adapt. Right now you're installing apps, they're filling up cache.. Well everything gets settled. You're probably also just unlocking it, just for unlocking like everybody else when they get a new phone. Over 2 weeks your battery life should increase dramatically if you don't factory reset, as everything needs to settle again then.

My battery is dismal on 8.0. Can anyone help?

Now. This is bad.

Ugh. I need some assistance. I've done all I can to maximize battery life, but my phone is just not going to cooperate. According to battery apps my battery is healthy, but you have got to be kidding me. Look at this. It's quite terrible.
Is that like 1 hour into a new rom or something...looks like you have no battery stats to go by. Plus if your stock 8.0 stand by is horrible... Flash a custom kernel and underclock the large cores...that has really changed my battery life.

It is just a few hours after turning on my device. I will record my battery percentage throughout the day and repost a new image. It's pretty dreadful

Check your battery capacity with a program like Accubattery like everybody else does. Have you not read the 25 or so other battery threads here on the exact same topic? Step #1. Test your battery!
Gsam battery can offer some good battery stats as well. You will want to enable ADB on your 6P and then you can enable more stats in Gsam. ( google Gsam enable more stats)
What helped my battery life was turning off bluetooth scanning ( search bluetooth scanning in settings). Gsam was showing a bluetooth wakelock using a lot of battery.

I probably should have stated that I have done this and attempted to root and use gsam and the like to disable wakelocks, and mess around with alarms and services. No increase of screen-on time.
I put in a new battery and with stock 8.0 it was about 2.5 sot. Got rid of stock kernel and started tweaking some things and get like 4 sot. I don't really trust the battery apps. They have done nothing for me

PS. Any suggestions for a custom kernal?
I'm stock 8.0 ATM using ElementalX
I underclocked the big cores to 1500 /small leave stock at 1500
Leave off all the gestures to wake
Also turn off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
I turn off location until I need it and keep brightness at 50%
If that doesn't help u prbly should replace ur battery
I bought a new back when I did my battery... it was pretty easy.
About 40 $ total..that's battery and back with new glass and bottom trim
If you do it urself just use suction to separate the body from the screen and watch out for the display ribbon under the center of the battery

Alright, thank you so much! I will be trying both of these.

Is this good battery life?

This is with a custom rom, after this first test, I turned off wifi scanning.
and put battery saving from 15 % to turn on at 25%, also, I set the screen to use half the pixels while on battery saving, I'm hoping to reach around 5 hours SoT with around 24 hours of standby.
Should be doable?

Yeah, about normal SoT, but it depends on what apps you use, what number of them are running in the background etc. To me both of OP and Nikola_zr are pretty much standard SoT and overall battery life.
I was able to get this out of it, I'm quite happy.
As you can see I'm a heavy youtube user, I watch videos while I'm answering messages, or surfing Facebook.

To be fair the app itself isn't really much of an impact, but the screen being on during that app. YouTube won't actually use much because we have a dedicated video decoder hardware.
You would find that 90%+ of that YouTube usage is screen on time while YT was in foreground.

If you're in oreo, this battery life is pretty normal. Why? There's only 4h on screen time, whereas Android oreo has (in this moment) the more enhanced deep sleep, being off-screen almost doesn't take battery life. This is why you got 23h withou charging.
Check out what I think a good battery life is like:

Agreed. Facebook app is a huge baterry drainer (trust me, I had a Zenfone 5, I NEEDED TO BACKUP BATTERY lol). So, since Zenfone I found out that stock Facebook app eat a bunch of battery (even if backgrounding), I started to use Web version and now FBLite wich does pretty much the same as the stock FB app, but almost without draining battery.
Tip: use FBlite and be happy

FB uses a lot on low RAM devices I've found, but on Mi A1 it doesn't seem like too much. If you turn off all notifications and video autoplay, anyway.
I've tried all the alternative FB clients and they're pretty crap compared to official app. None of them remember the news feed position you're at if you go in to comment on something, for example. It always reloads.
