Is anyone else having issues with battery life? My wife reported that she was at 70% when she went to take a nap and when she woke up (around an hour later) it was at 30%. I don't have it with me so I can't look up battery stats but I know wifi was off. Even if GPS was still on, you'd think that 40% of a giant battery wouldn't go by in an hour.
I just want to see if its worth investigating as faulty hardware or if there is a software issue involved. She did have meebo running which is a battery drain but even on my captivate with trillian running I don't lose battery like that!
Mine has been absolutely disappointing to say the least. Seems to last less time than my N1.
MILES worse than my iPhone 4.
Is meebo a instant messaging app? A lot of them aren't coded very well and constantly use data therefore killing the battery terribly. I've had my phone on wifi all day since 8am and i'm still at 70%
2.2 isnt designed to take advantage of 2 cores. Therefore its probably horribly optimized. 2.3 if it gets around soon - should be far better.
My battery life is great here.... no complains havent charge my phone since last night at 6pm... i still have 40% left

so far my battery lasts about 20 hours.
I turn off blue-tooth
turn off GPS, wireless is only on when I am near wireless spots
Normal day yesturday:
60 minutes playing WSOP game
40 minutes cell calls
40 texts messages
30 emails
40 minutes playing with settings exploring the phone...
look at whats sucking up your battering in the battery manager, then take adequate measures to fix the battery hogs. My battery gives me more than a full day of play and talk
mine's been off a charger for about 8.5 hours, and it's down to 20%. But it has been streaming pandora continuously for about 6 of those hours, so i'd say i'm doing pretty good. Mix in an odd phone call, playing, downloading apps, setting stuff back up, etc, and i'm not at all unhappy with battery so far.

Stop spreading misinformation.
The kernel (which handles all low-level I/O on the device) is compiled for multiple cores (hence the SMP tag, which stands for symmetrical multiprocessing, under About Phone, under Kernel Version).
On top of that, the Android SDK supports threads, which is in turn supported by the kernel and therefore spread across cores.
I'm suspicious that Motorola is using a bugged battery level scheme or calibration. I ran the battery down from 100% to 5% yesterday. When I got the 5% alert, it was still going strong afterwards for 30 minutes of continual use (downloading apps over wifi and configuring them, browsing the web, etc) after. I eventually got too tired to keep going and see how much longer it'd last.
Does the atrix have better battery life then a captivate?
Of the charger at 7am, its now 2:42pm and im at 80%. I use the phone heavily but auto sync is off.

meebo is awful, awful, awful at battery drain. Utterly awful. It uses a fairly inefficient way of checking for new messages and it kills battery life. Do not use it.
My Atrix battery life has been great so far.

cool, thanks for the info! I've never used it before I just use trillian but its what she downloaded.
My battery life is impressive. Yesterday off of the charger at 10am and I didn't charge overnight. When I woke up today it was still at 40%. I did a ton of downloading apps, setup, playing games and web browsing including flash videos. I played a 14 track cd from it when I went to bed, but I had it in airplane mode while sleeping. I use the apps for FB and Twitter instead of having Motoblur do everything. My brightness is over 3/4 too so I'm not handicapping the device for battery.
Hmm interesting..i have been getting HORRIBLE battery life. Off charger at 7am, by 12 i was at 20%. Some background data but ive tried to limit all refreshing apps to once a hour.
ok I don't know how to check useage by app but...
under "battery manager" I can get to a screen that looks like my captivate battery useage screen.
unplugged at 70%, useage is as follows...
time since last unplugged:3h 27m
Display: 50% Time On: 30 mins
Phone Idle: 36% Time on: 2 hours 54 mins
Cell Standby: 16% Time on 3 hr 23mins
Currently sitting at 30%
I took mine off the charger at 7 this morning. After very heavy use, and auto sync with facebook and gmail on. I'm at 30%
By heavy use I mean downloading apps, emailing, texting, gtalk all day.
I would say it's pretty good. Much better then my nexus one.

i expected it to be very good, its huge! The whole reason i'm posting this is to see if there is something wrong with her battery. The screen is usually the biggest battery drain on my phone (samsung captivate) but hers was only on 20 mins.
From my battery manager:
1d 3h 26m 13s since unplugged
That is 27.5 hours, including a whole day of heavy use. I'm at 15% battery.
This phone kicks ass.
Just like the title says, I would like to know what is the average battery drain that you guys are getting on your S6 and S6E devices while leaving it on idle. My device is SM-920I and the battery drains about 0.7% on WiFi and 1.5% on 4G per hour. I understand that the mileage will vary depending on how many apps/radios you have installed/turned on, but would be interesting to know what everyone is getting as an average.
I'm running a fairly untouched version of clean rom. The only battery tweaking I'm done is having GPS only turn on for maps. About 1 to 2% an hour
Over night i am normally at 65%. When i wake up its at 64%..... all data,gps and sync are off. And on silent mode....
While phone in deep sleep, it drains 0% for 6H and 1% around 7-8H. All stock and no root.

The only way i can get this is to turn on Airplane mode. Otherwise it drains about 1% per hour.
Usually 5% overnight. 8 hours.
Everything on. Even gps

At best I get 0.6%/hr with WiFi turned off over night (about 7 hrs). With WiFi on and connected it's worse, 1.1%/hr drain. Weird to me that yours uses less battery on WiFi.
In either case, my 'held awake' time is between 35 minutes and 1 hour, again this is overnight.
I've done a lot of tests since getting the phone and this is consistent for me.

While on 3/4G, Google Services and Android Systems are draining more data than on WiFi which leads to higher battery usage on mine.
I get a drain of 7- 8% during my sleep with wifi 3g off and all multitasking off and greenify(root) on. please help me to reduce it. how to get my phone into deep sleep?

Get better battery starts and check the kernel and partial wakelocks to see what keeps it awake.
I have some atrocious battery drain. Right now im on XTreSoLite 2.0 Odex and uniKernel with pretty much every service disabled, greenified, app removed, etc thats possible and still get bad drain. Ive even gotten rid of the Google app in my quest to fix it. I have more battery and wakelock managing apps installed i do than everything else combined. Literally nothing i do seems to make it reasonable. Right now im draining at 7.9% an hour, I average 5 hours of SOT with 16 of standby. If I let my device idle I get 2 hours or so of SOT with standby of 18 hours. Overnight drain can be anywhere from 10% to 2% and I can't figure out what to do to fix it. And the worst part is, all my wakelocks aren't anything severe. The most severe one I have keeps my device awake for a total of 5 minutes at most over the 16 hour period.
Literally at my wits end.
I even tried to undervolt my processor but I can't find an app that actually works, most just revert what I set after a few minutes. ._.
Stock OS was terrible, my phone would die in literally four hours immediately after after factory reset and not signing into any accounts.

Maybe you have removed too much and some app is waiting for another which you have removed or greenified.
BTW a device draining in 4 hours probably means a defective battery, these things can be very dangerous! !!!!
1-4% based on what I have running when I go to bed. I leave everything on.

1-2% missing when i go to bed everythings on including wifi
I just have a night mode in Tasker. It drains around 1% over a night (8 hours) if bad cell, else less than 1%.
My night mode just toggle Bluetooth, data, wifi and GPS off and then on again at morning.
Yesterday had gone 25 hours without charging and still have 39% left but screen time of about 1.25 hours and most of the time on wifi. Talktime of about 1 hour. I haven't rooted or disabled any app and i find this is lot better idle drain than my nexus 5. But yeah i can only get around 4 hour SOT because i always use full brightness.
usually down bout 20%~ when i leave my phone for the night.
7% of battery overnight.
Wifi, 3G, google now and side clock on.
Is this normal?
Standby Cell=2% (5h on time)
Android OS =1% (13m cpu)
Standby Device = 1% (4m cpu, 28m active)
I too loose between 5-7% overnight (8 Hours). Although the battery life of Edge+ is pretty good while in use, I have noticed that standby of the device isn't as impressive as earlier Note variants (Yes, I'm comparing with Note series).
WiFi - ON
Auto Sync - ON
2-3 Apps with Notification ON
Samsung Pay on Screen Off - ON

Your CPU seems to be idle 95% of the time! I never checked mine but yes, mine drops that much too! I don't think that's a rare case with this phone!
Ok so it is good right?
Then why it drains so much overnight?
Depinding on my signal strenght ,i saw -10% overnight ,ok maybe i slept like 10 hrs insted of 7-8 but still . Battery info said that the juice went to Cell signal standby or something like that.

yep, same here... so maybe it depends on the strength and quality of cell signal..
will test in the next days...
I am sure it cannot be any samsung app/service as I have disable 200 of them with package disabler pro
also, location/3g/wifi/sync/googlenow always on is the same setup I had on OnePlus One, that was using barely .5% per hour
it also true that on the OnePlusOne I could also turn off the notification light during night, while with this I cannot so it could happen that the light keeps on flashing for 5 hours, draining battery
also, I have edge clock on at night, still some drining...
I thought the deep sleep or idle drain was caused by lollipop, no? I lose over 10% from a 7hr sleep, even if I turn the WiFi off. WiFi eats up a lot of my battery for some reason, and I know my connection was good too.

It's been 5 nights and I confirm it drains 1% per hour.
This is my usage really bad...
8% in 6h
Night clock on
Wi-Fi on
4G on
Sync on
I received 5 emails so notification light has been blinking for almost 5h
Don't understand, cos stats are not that bad...
Think yourself lucky. I'm losing 50% overnight.
Battery life impressive during the day though

I solved my problem: night watch...
With night watch on I lose 1% per hour at night, with night watch off I lose 2% in 6h
I was consistently losing 2%-3% per hour overnight. But once I found an overactive app (Plume) and changed from instant notifications to 30 minute polling, my battery life has drastically improved. I've also used Package Disabler to disable bloatware on my device.
The past couple days my battery has been around 97% - 98% when I wake up in the morning.
I left the device on 100% and go to sleep.
When I woke up I see 95% so I check the better battery stats and saw that the phone was in deep sleep all the time just minute and half was a wake.
It say the the mobile standby make it.
I think it too much if the device was sleeping
What do you think? I have a problem with my battery?
no, i guess not because i have arond 4 % loss over night in 8-9 hours. mobile signal strenght is also an issue if you have bad reception. but i guess the drain is normal. nothing to worry about. Are you stock or custom? I am on weta with naptime en greenify.
Unless it's a signal issue that does seem high. I get 1-2% over 6-7 hours over night. I'm not using anything like greenify or naptime either. I get that on Stock 7.0 and on Pure Nexus 7.

5% over a whole night and you think there is something wrong with your battery? Assuming that is 6-8 hours I'm not sure why you are worried. It is still on and, thus draining. So, if you let it for 24 hours 15% seems high to you?

No, it doesn't. Everyone has different setups, and <1% an hour is not high battery drain.

My thought exactly.
Sound just fine to me.
less than 1% an hour is a sound result.
I WOULD KILL for that kind of idle battery life. I HOPEFULLY get my 6p Thursday. I am on the S5 now running MM and sitting at my desk I get 5% or more per hour drain if I am lucky. right now, if I am not on it much, 10% per hour.

Hmm, doing nothing with phone it was 1% every 4 hours on stock. With PN7 its like 1% every 4 hours. This is with about 35 apps installed or no extra apps installed. So if you're seeing about 5% loss overnight for about 6-8 hours, it seems to me your phone isn't deep sleeping very well, cause that means there is a lot of stuff still working in the background. Like i said, unless there is poor signal.
Again this is based on what i see on stock and PN7.

After being on Android since Gingerbread and using Sammy and Nexus devices, while doze in MM and N has brought a lot of improvements in sleeping battery drain, I'd say that 2% over an entire night is unusually low.
Also, many folks do different things to their phones overnight. If you leave it 'on' but turn off your radios and turn on total silence as opposed to just letting it go to deep sleep but leaving everything 'on', you'll see significant differences in drain.
I'd still just look at 24 hours of no use, doze drainage and if you only got 15% drain that would translate to roughly 7 full days of standby. That's pretty good. In your scenario, 3-6% drain over 24 hours of standby/doze is pretty much unheard of. I'm not aware of any phones that typically give users 17-33 days of standby

I've been on android only and since the droid X days which was Froyo myself.
My phone is exactly the same overnight as during the day. I rarely ever use WiFi since I'm on TMobile. My phone has to be fully available to me since I'm an IT Admin and that means I'm on call site security reasons 24/7. To me getting 5% a night would be making me search through my phone to find three cause LoL
Im not too sure what setting i changed on mine but when i wake up after 7 hours i'm sitting at 99%
Hi,
So I had my phone on repair for the speaker. They repaired it and now it works. I got it back 4 days ago. And apparently (i dont know if this is important for battery) they installed a firmware for Poland on my phone, even though I am not from Poland, but anyways I have it set to my language and all is good.
The thing is, I am not sure how my battery is doing. I was right now on my phone searching for this on the internet (i was using the internet app) and it drained my phone from 53% to 44% in just maybe 15-20 minutes. Is that normal? I think that yesterday or the day before yesterday I had like 4 hours of SOT... When I am reading on the web people are averaging like 6 to even 8 hours. What is even more frustrating for me is that all of those people who get around 7 hours of SOT say that they are heavy users, playing games all day, snapchating, facebooking etc. and they have around 20-30% left by bedtime... Now comparing to my phone either they go to bed at 6 o'clock or my phone is bad. Because at 9 pm i have maybe like 10%. And moreso those people that report 7 hrs of SOT and are saying they are heavye users, they also say that they have Location, Data, Wifi, Sync, NFC, Bluetooth ALWAYS turned on. Me, never have Sync, NFC or Blutetooth on, because i dont need it. I only use Data, Wifi and Location, but i dont have them on all the time, I only turn them on when i need it. For example, if I have avaliable Wifi, I will connect to the wifi and my data wont be turned on. If i want to use google maps, i will turn on data and location, but once i arrive to where i need to, i will turn both off as i do not need them.
So tell me is something wrong with my battery? It is 3 pm now and i am already on 44%. I was home all day, so I did use the phone a bit more, always on Wifi, but i think i didnt use it that much. Could it be the new poland firmware? Cause i think they didnt change my battery in repair. Or is all normal? Or should i give it a few more days, since the phone was factory reset and maybe needs to learn my usage patterns? But shouldn't the phone learn that already? Its been 4 days...And how the heck do i get 7hrs of SOT and 25-30% of battery left when its 9 pm...?
Please please help me solve this.. Tell me nothing is wrong with my phone. I don't want to send it back for repair, because they already had my phone for almost 2 months and I just want to use it finnally as i really like it.
Thanks
Right now my stats are:
Battery at 38%
Total battery usage 6h 56min
Estimated usage time remaining 5hrs and 24 minutes (when i had about 70 % i think this number was 9 hrs)
Recent battery usage list:
the first item on the list is screen --> SOT=3h 40 min, it say next to it 43% and 781mAH.
second is System Android --> it says next to it 16% and then CPU total=1h 58min, CPU foreground 4 min, Stay awake=10min, Data received via WiFi= 1018, Data sent via WiFi=800 and Computed power usage= 297mAH
Then its the Internet app: 10%, CPU total 1h 8min, CPU foreground 12min, data received=76294, data sent=76198, and usage=183mAH
then it's android OS: 7%, CPU total= 51 min, stay awake= 29min, Data recieved= 9401, data sent=10892, usage=140mAH
And then i have boom beach game at 4% and cell stanby at 3% etc. but these are the top 4...
So how's it looking?
And please remember I had wifi on all the time today.. no data or location as i did not need it. and no sync, bluetooth or nfc as i never use those. Its 4 pm right now and jsut writing all this drained 3% from my phone, and if i start using it as a heavy user from this moment i dont think i'd have even 15% left by bedtime. But all the others are reporting of having all nfc, BT, wifi, data, sync turned on and playing games and watching youtube and using FB and snapchat and all these heavy stuff and still have 7hrs SOT and 25% left by bedtime... Oh and i do have FB and Messenger on my phone as well as instagram and snapchat. But i rarely use them. Only for checking our school group on fb, and instagram and snapchat i use even more rarely...
Post a screenshot of the battery usage page?
Here we go. And just before i saw your reply i was browsing again on the forums and my phone got a bit warm and dropped from like 25% to 17% in maybe 20 or 30 minutes of being on forums. And there i hear some people having a 5-10% drop when they watch a whole episode of a series on Netflix or some other video that is 1+ hours long. How?
Oh and ita 6:41 pm and im on 15%. If this was my bedtime it might have been okay but its not haha. And still people are saying they have 25% left by bedtime and here i am at 15% with only wifi on and nothinf else and its like that the whole day. I went to the shop today thats when i disabled wifi and truned on data. Thats all.
Downgraded a few weeks ago to March firmware. Battery life is great again. Had to downgrade because of the high Android System and OS which started occurring after the August patch and got worse with every new patch. Someone with the same problem?
Well i dont really know how to downgrade. And it would probably remove some features wouldnt it? Would you say my android system and os is high? Could it be better with the nougat update when it comes? Anything else that might help?
Right now i am on 8% and 5hrs 51min of SOT. Not even close to those 25% "before bedtime" and not evem close to 7hrs sot or 8 as some report.
And the cpu total of android system is 3hrs
Use ODIN to downgrade to March firmware.
When I used march firmware, Android System and OS were always below 10% - Less than 120mAh
Yes but i dont know how to use odin. I am not really that tech savy. And i heard something about voiding warranty if you fiddle with odin and doing things to your software.
And what do you think of my battery stats, sir? And do you think it might get better when nougat comes (do you think it will drop percentage of android os and system)?
Also how much should AOD and night watch drain your battery? I have aod always on and night clock from 1am to 5am. Today i slept from 1am to 9am and i think it went from 81% to 73%. How much is normal and is my normal?
And right now i have 55% battery and 2hr 45min SOT and the second on the battery usage list is android system at 20%. Everything looking good?
Try turning off Wifi and monitor. It is what causes my battery problem as of the moment and I am currently waiting for Nougat hoping it would fix this. If not, either we downgrade or go for a custom ROM.
SoT is a tough way to measure battery life unless under very closed conditions. The S7E is not a 7-8 hour phone unless you spend all your time in a dark cave with strong cell signal. It isn't usually the individual phones, but the usage and conditions that vary.

Hapibanana,what is monitor? And may i ask how much drain you get from aod and night clock overnight?
And I guess it totaly vary from time to time. Like right now i have 60% battery left, total time usage is only 4hrs 20 minutes and i have only 2hrs of SOT atm. Meaning that i dropped 32% in 4 hrs, of which 2hrs was screen on time. So this time i will probably only get 4hrs of sot in total. I doubt ill have 3hrs of sot by the time i reach 50%. Yet yestrday i had almost 6hrs SOT with 10% left.
I guess it depends on what you do with the phone. If you hardcore surf the web, click a lot of stuff play some games and click some more it drains more than if you just watch a youtube video where you dont click that much. Or i noticed that FB and snapchat take a lot of battery. And when i search forum and write stuff amd have multiple tabs open and change beetween them it also drains quite quickly. Like right now i was on the forums for about half an hour typing and doing some screenshots and editing them and posting them and my phone got pretty hot and it drained from around 71% to 60% which is something i guess. I use internet stock app from samsung btw.
And i also noticed that it drains from 100% to 90% very quickly then from 90% to 50% it drains a bit slower, than from 50% down even slower. I dont know the reason for this but i just noticed.
Just what i noticed.
And yeah i also hope nougat will fix some things and i hope it comes soon as i've read it is really beautiful. I waaaant it noooow
i consider myself a moderate to heavy user based on how i use my phone and up to the point before the phone update with the latest software update, i would try to kill my phone before going to bed after a full days use commencing at 7 am.
Since the January update i now i really noticed it today when my phone was fully charged at 5 am at which point i woke up 1 hr earlier than normal and use the phone for 1 hour and 35 minutes playing games. my phone was down to 5% by 10 am. this has only started happening since the last software update
I've stayed on march firmware since day 1 due to battery drain complaints on other versions. Never had a problem.
Downgrade would appear the only solution for you.

So from 100 to almost 0 in 4 hours Deathsyntch? Thats even worse than what i have. I guess it really is something up with software. I rellay dont want to downgrade as i dont want to mess something up.. Never done it and i am not that good with his stuff. So i just hope thag nougat will maks it better and i hope it comes soon.
I got same issue, seems like normal consumption.
I had a lot of battery drain after the last Google App update.
I disabled Google App and installed the 6.8.23.21 October 2016 version.
Now all ok and I have 6-7 SOT
If you go on google market and check all the comments on Google App you can see a lot of people complaining about battery drain!
