I'm on a US SM-G930T (SD820).
Usually when I leave my phone in my pocket battery goes down as if I'm using it, but it managed to pull through.

That's not good battery life at all, 14 hours TOTAL, not SoT
SoT was only 22% of that, so around 3 hours maybe
I think I have good battery life.
See pics.
always wifi on, bt on, location on and data on.

I have an S7 Unlocked US model. There's no 'carrier' bloatware thank god. But I am pretty sure Samsung makes up for it by adding their own. Before I ran three debloat scripts on this thing, there were about 325 apps installed on it. I would HATE to see the additional amount of crap a carrier would add to that.
So after flashing the three scripts, I got down to about 150 (include my apps probably about 165). That's beyond absurd and this type of 'bloat' should be illegal. Samsung, among the other manufacturers and carriers, are literally scamming everyone out of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by doing this. I have a Motorola Droid Razr M XT907 (Verizon) originally running KitKat. It's been rooted forever. I recently paid Sunshine to unlock the bootloader and I flashed Lineage 13 to it (Marshmallow). It's manufacturer date was 2014. Life span of 1 1/2 years max. I increased it by 5 more at least. If this thing can handle even Nougat (tried that too), then this S7 can run a nuclear generator, but won't because of the crap on it. Bottom line: If they ever say you need a new phone because it's slow, they're scamming you.
Here's my settlement after 24 hours of rooting, debloating, tweaking and optimizing my G930U
- Flashed fresh, stock firmware: Marshmallow 6.0.1, first release, G930UUEU4API3
- Was FINALLY able to gain and hold root by following the steps located in the first section of this thread.
- After that I installed an UPDATED version of FlashFire via ADB.
- I opened FlashFire. Until you disable KNOX, SuperSU will be VERY slow to prompt you with the pop-up to grant root access to FlashFire (maybe a minute or so). Once access is granted, you can debloat and disable KNOX. This is the only root required app I installed at this point.
- In section two of the same thread, I downloaded and added the second .zip file, S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip to internal storage (sdcard) and flashed it using FlashFire. I also downloaded this .zip, added it to internal storage and flashed it. I also went here and did the same with this .zip. (KNOX is disabled in the first flash so at this point SuperSU will function normally).
- IF YOU DO NOT DISABLE KNOX COMPLETELY YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!! Flash ALL 3 .zips to ensure KNOX is disabled!!
- I then disabled any other apps and or services I deemed fit and that suit my needs. If anyone wants me to I can compile a list of what I left installed.
- Installed Xposed following the 3rd step in the thread I linked twice already.
- Downloaded and installed HEBF - Battery Saver & Optimizer, selected a medium profile for Battery and medium for performance.
The difference is almost instant. On top of all the bloat, I can't believe how much battery this drains because of it.

Check the battery stats thread, 2 days with 3 hours SoT is easy, also depends what you were doing with your phone while the screen was on, if not much, like WhatsApp or something low powered, then you can get way more than that
atm Samsung have caused a battery drain bug with the last 2-3 updates, but before that I was averaging 5-6 hours SoT easily, and could easily get 2 days usage from one charge

With being on unlocked firmware, without the carrier bloat, There were 330+ samsung apps on this thing. I was lucky to get 5-6+ hours on a full charge and it would feel like it was going to melt while using it. I got it down to about 135-140 apps. if you include the ones I downloaded, 161 apps. Installed HEBF battery optimizer and it runs as smooth as possible. I probably could get as much of a charge out of it now. Prior to that? I don't see that being remotely possible. There were too many apps doing too many things at almost a constant level. So i find it very very hard to believe someone got 2 days on a full charge with 330+ apps running in the background. It just isn't possible.

Just because your phone was a lemon for battery life does not mean everyone elses is, go read the battery stats thread and see for yourself, most people get 5 hours+ SoT without resorting to debloating
5-6 hours on a full charge is diabolical, no-one in their right mind would accept that as normal, that's about the SoT you should be getting with the phone in constant use, not entire battery life
And next to none of those apps you removed use any power in the background, there were 2 that used about 10% too much battery for my liking, OM Customise and KNOX, I disabled them and easily got 5-6 hours SoT, at a push I could get more with lighter usage
So don't make statements like "It just isn't possible", you don't own everyone's phone, you can only speak from your own, it is entirely possible and is easily accomplished with a normal non-defective S7

I got a Nexus 4 yesterday, and so far it has been excellent. Really fast and has all the features I want. The battery life is pretty poor though. I am at 28% with a screen on time of only about 2 hours. The total time is about 8 hours. I haven't been using it a lot. The main thing consuming battery seems to be Nova Launcher for some reason. I have it on my Nexus 7 and it doesn't decrease battery life at all, but it seems to use a lot more on here. It was at 24% according to GSam Battery Monitor.
I just followed a bunch of instructions for increasing battery life from various websites so I will see how it goes. I now have all the Google syncing disabled, location services off and brightness on auto.
Is there anything I should be doing? Why is Nova Launcher's usage so high?
Thanks,
EDIT: Could it be the widgets I am using? I have two Gmail inbox widgets, the messaging widget and the circle battery widget.
Same here though I'm not sure its nova, my battery got as bad as yours when i rooted to stock.

it could, or any other apps you have working in the background. it can also be how you use the device. but before you assume anything about your battery life, give it 3-4 battery cycles before it normalizes.

Alright. I have minor OCD kind of thing so I always close the active apps through the task manager as soon as I exit them. I'll give it a few more days and then pursue the issue further.

im ocd about that too, lol. the back button to kill is one of my favorite custom rom features. also, autostarts and greenify are both great apps to make sure that you have mich less ctap opening in the background. anyways, im a heavy user normally, battery life on the nexus 4 id never call bad. usually i get 3.5-5.5 hours screen on time, depending on use. but then again, i use a custom kernel thats optimized for performance and battery. but, stock rom/kernel isnt bad on battery.
I too Force Close all the social networking apps before sleeping and turn wifi off. And i daily get around 4 hrs of OST. Will attach pics later to show. So to get 4 hrs OST you need really need to have a custom kernel. Just optimize your usage and you are fine with the stock kernel.
Phone is totally stock. Not rooted. And i got 6 pages on Apps installed.
I even used to clear RAM every now and then but I just stopped doing it as I couldn't find it doing anything better.
The battery life is much better now. Yesterday when I got back from school it was at 40% or so, and today it was at 68%.
Gets better after a few battery cycles. My battery life was average, so I rooted and with matr1x kernel it's snappier and better battery.

i'm stock and my battery life was shockingly bad on the default settings until yesterday when i tried some fixes and they have made things much better.
looking at my N4 right now, i'm still on 58% after 22 hours. that's after several voice calls, some browsing & reading emails, GPS navigation using Maps, a couple of skype video calls, wake-up alarms etc.
basic fixes as follows:
- screen brightness right down to maybe 10-15%
- data off when not being used, ditto location services
- NFC and BT off.
- i've left wifi on as it doesn't seem to take much battery if it's not being used.
that's all! after charging last night, i woke after 6 hours or so and was amazed to see it had dropped only 1-2%, so apparently nothing is waking it from sleep.
One thing that really improved my battery life (when I had a Nexus 4) and something I tell to anybody with poor battery life, is to go into maps, go to settings, location settings, and uncheck "report from this device". If you've got the app "wakelock detector" just watch the wakelocks from maps almost entirely disappear. It nearly doubled my battery life at the time.

Hey thx man that didn't work but it did start me down the path to fix my problem.
I found out it had something to do with my GPS options its in settings and location access WiFi and GPS location options i checked it off and now i am getting 1 hour screen on time for every %10 if you do the math i have about 8hours of screen on time! I also have setcpu app which is giving me about 48hours of standby time, i will upload some screens after a bit more testing.

My battery life is brill and i never turn owt off or force anything to close, it is only bad when i play a 3d game or something but what do you expect. over night it only drops about 1% every 4 hours which is a bit bonkers.
(screen on auto, fully stock with Nova and not rooted)

first day of full use in my nexus 4 I got 5 hours of screen on time. stock rom and kernel, just rooted. I think it's pretty decent.
just do what people say, disable location useless stuff and monitor your wake locks.

If you would like to risk such things as unlocking bootloader, rooting, installing custom ROM and kernel, then it'd be easier for you.
Personally, I've found codefireX ROM and faux123 kernel to be battery friendly and very responsive, but of course you've got to be a bit fixed on such things as playing with your devices and getting fun from it to do that

So I was posting some info in another thread but I figured I would make my own thread for it. It seems like the power consumption at idle might be the cause for the "not as good as expected" battery life. For example my G3 will sit off the charger for 4 hours without being used and still be at 100%, the Turbo loses 6% in that time. The G3 has a 3000mAH Battery and I could easily get 24h of off the charger time on the G3. My question is what is killing the battery on the Turbo??? Its kinda hard to look over the battery stats when there is no root. Anyone have any input?
I think it's because of the wifi. I too have experienced crazy idle drain compared to my G2 and it's really making me regret getting this phone. It seems like they just slapped the kitkat ROM together and didn't really care to test it very well because Lollipop is coming out so soon.
It's definitely draining at idle more than usual or should be, I agree. I don't think it is WiFi related though, or at least not enough to be the main problem. I could be wrong of course. I have also not experience any WiFi or Bluetooth issues whatsoever and I use a Moto 360 all day, every day.
I am currently on my 4th charge cycle since acquiring the 64GB BN model. It's been powered on for 7h 32m and I'm sitting at 78% with 1hr 18m SoT. That's with heavy usage and taking quite a bit of pictures & video during this mornings product demo presentations at work.
Hardly anything for me personally to complain about. I'm sure they will optimize it. I'm almost certain than Android L 5.0 will make this phone a true beast.
Time will tell.
are you leaving gps or high accuracy location settings on?
I have the same issue as the OP. My G3 lost very little battery life when idling. I've attempted shutting down email accounts, turning off location and selectively removing apps in hopes of determining the cause of the drain...without success. This could be a deal breaker if we don't get some type of root exploit soon.
Well this sucks. I was going to get the Turbo but now I'm going to wait and see what happens with this drain issue. Maybe 5.0 will fix it.
I have been using the same settings that I did on my G3, Auto brightness, Location OFF and Auto Sync. Glad I'm not the only one noticing it too, I think its all in the build of Kit Kat they put on this phone, hopefully L comes out soon.

How about you start by posting screenshots of your battery stats from System...Battery
I don't have any issues whatsoever.
Well once I figure out how to do that I will post it, but in the mean time what phone were you coming from? A few people have agreed in this post that the battery life is worse @ idle then the G3 so its not just me.

Well G3 could be out of box, not trying to argue wanted to understand what your problem was. If you press the graph you'll see more details on what is using batteries (awake vs screen on, cell signal etc) and more in Android System if you go into that screen.
Overall what your getting .. 1-2% is not a big deal to me and beauty of the massive battery is you don't have to worry about but if really wanted to you could improve by turning off stuff you don't need or even automating it.
FWIW I'm coming from a GS3 with a tiny battery but even that phone lasted 5 days idling with the right setting for my use case (cell radio off / WiFi on). With Turbo just disabled some apps I didn't need and don't even think about it any more. I do have complaints about the Turbo but battery is definitely not one of them.
I'm interested in this as well. I bought my turbo yesterday evening and it had a pretty good charge (>80%) out of the box. I played with it for much of the evening and copied ~8gb of data to the phone via wifi. When I went to bed battery was at 60%, when I woke up it was 46%. I noticed that my third biggest battery use is command center, so I disabled auto-location in that app. I'm hoping to have better results on my first full charge.
Yeah I agree, but its literally the same settings I ran of my G3. I think I'm just gonna return it between the weak wifi and cell signal, and the camera it's just not worth it if the battery life isn't better then my G3
I've been posting in the other battery life thread... but to summarize, I'm going to be doing some thorough testing over the next 24/48 hours (currently ongoing).
I have already noticed significant improvements in my battery life. Has mentioned in the other thread. I'll be making a detailed post on Friday evening with my results.
I may also, from time to time post some of my progress, as I already have an understanding as to one of the issues involved with the so called "idle drain" everyone is referring to, and it is NOT WiFi.
Keep your eyes on that thread here.
Thanks, I'm pretty good with understanding wake locks, I just don't know where to start without root since most the stats in BB require it. I'm intrested to see what you come up with. I'm gonna wait till Saturday anyway to see if I still want to trade this in for the nexus.

Well you are limited with what you can do but I already gave you a start in my post, maybe you missed it. The only insight you will have without root (for tools like Better Battery Stats) is looking into all the info you can get out of Settings..Battery. There you can see wake locks vs screen on time and other stats like cell signal / wifi status etc. Then you can also dive into your biggest usage, for you it looks like it is Android System. They will list system services that are classified here. For example, you'll see the moto features are part of this. If you don't want to dig you can wait for Andromjb's updates
Overall I wouldn't base your decision to return the Turbo based on the battery -- base it on your other problems it sounds like you're having with wifi signal etc. That sounds like reason enough for a return. If you're ok with the larger size of the Nexus 6 then to me it's a no brainer to go with that instead of Droid Turbo since they are almost identical in terms of hardware.
For those that are getting battery drain, did you disable all of the verizon apps? There are some 20+ apps that are constantly running in the background and will drain your battery(even after i did a factory reset, these apps were sending data despite me never having opened them). Disable those, restart, then see if things change over the next cycle. I got 2d9hr31m and 4hr23 min of SOT(minimal usage) and was at 13%; this was on the first charge.
Could this drain be due to some of the sensors used for notifications. Doesn't the turbo have the feature where you stick your hand over it and it shows the notifications? If this is the case, wouldn't those sensors have to stay on?
Yeah I have 27 apps disabled and it really didn't make a difference for me like it has in the past, their must be something killing the battery on this 30m of screen time and I'm at 79% shouldn't be happening.

Thats actually really interesting. I haven't been experiencing anything like that. Perhaps try doing a factory reset then disabling them again. That's the only thing I did differently. Perhaps it's just a bad device? I'm already at 2hrs screen time, heavy downloading(off line apps), and have been on battery for 1d8hr- still at 45%. Is there anything in the battery stats? Wake locks perhaps?

It seems i cannot post links so i have to found a workaround
4GB/32GB storage model here, all stock, no root or anything, best SOT time i got is 4hrs 26mins. Sometimes if i use 3g/4g data i cant even reach 3hrs.
Great phone but this battery drain is way too massive. Pretty much putting a dent in what is a great phone experiance value/performance wise.

I played some fallout shelter for maybe 30 min, and other than that, I just read stuff and looked at funny pictures at work. That little time I charged was me transferring some stuff from my PC to my phone.
5 hours and 18 minutes isn't too bad, although this sot seems to be an outlier for me, I usually get about 3-4 hours sot if I don't use my screen as much. It seems that the battery drains fast no matter what I do on it, whether it be using it or not. So if I use it as much as possible right after charging it, I get the best sot. I can't really get my phone to last longer than about 18-20 hours even if the screen doesn't come on.
I plan on experimenting with different ROMs and kernals to find the best battery life. The battery is definitely my biggest issue with this phone.
Wow, I'll do it too soon xD
The problem is pretty clear. It's the Android OS. This is a typical Lollipop issue which isn't fully solved on 5.1.
There are some posts on XDA which might help. Specially one restricting the Google Services via Privacy Gurad or XPrivacy. Can't test it for myself because still waiting for my ZF2. Did someone tried this?
(I'm in hurry and will post the links later)
I can sometimes get around 6 hours SOT
Prism Barebone & Project T
Underclock to 333mhz-1250mhz
Yankactive and sioplus 512kb
Greenify almost all apps, leaving essentials
Power Nap too with quite a number of essential apps whitelisted
On Wi-Fi (I didn't try on mobile data)
I call myself I moderate heavy user ?

It's a stupid app which kills all applications on background to give you an extra ram.

I'll install Titanium Backup to remove it. But how? Whats is the internal name of this app?
EDIT: Uninstalling Task Manager, Energy Saver and Autostart manager, in fact, the phone is in deep sleep for more time. (screenshot attached)

Thanks going to download this rom today.
Broke my own 'record'' today and reached nearly 5 hours. I will reach it if i dont charge it soon but i wanted to show the SOT at the same battery lvl as in my last post.
WiFi was on all day, chatting, some music and a few mins of gaming was today's session.

The only working solution for now: flash Lollipop. It's not perfect but it heats and drains battery much less than Marshmallow.
I'm creating this thread so that we can discuss battery life issues and look for a solution.
There is a popular thread on this topic but it is marked as solved, and while the original poster's issue has been solved there are many others that remain.
For some people the issue was solved when rootkernel was updated to fix some bug. But that was a long time ago, and some bugs are obviously present even in the latest kernels rooted with the latest rootkernel versions. It's still unclear if the issue is present on non-rooted kernels.
I will create a poll, please consider answering it to help clear the issue.
By the way, has anyone encountered any issues on 5.1, or is it just a Marshmallow issue?
Partial solution: I installed OM5Z kernel and it has significantly improved battery life on Marshmallow.
While it's still much worse than what you would expect from a Sony compact, it's not awful anymore. The phone can go a day (no heavy usage) without charging now.
Stock or Xpower 4 ,rooted or not dosnt metter - i have a drain every night(8-9 h of sleep) about 5-7% in airplane mode.Try BBS and WD now but seems phone sleep good.Think i lost about 15-20% at 24 hours
On Xpower 4 lite as is...with andro kernel v36 same issue.And i dont have any other soft. Goggle sync and other garbage is off.
Dont now where is may be problem.

Try Xpower3, it looks like X4 got more problem. I'm running v3.0 Full(stock kernel), when I set it to airplane mode over night only drain 1~2% everytime but I've installed greenify donated and used xposed amplify.
For anyone reading this thread, are there any other things people can note about their setup?
Country? Carrier?
If you are having issues, what apps do you use? Do you have a microSD card and if so, what brand/model?
If you are not having issues, same question about apps and microSD card.
I have seen on my phone the higher Android OS CPU usage which is of course the black hole of power drain for many people. I still need to do more scientific testing of usaging or avoiding apps to see if anything is triggering the drain.
T-Mobile US customer here, typically on Wifi at work/home also with T-Mobile cellspot for signal strengh. Standard apps for messaging and social media including Snapchat (bad app for power usage) but avoiding Facebook for now. Google Now Launcher.
Stock firmware, rooted stock kernel, don't have issues
1) Z5 was incredibly hot out of the box
2) Wiping the system, rooting the kernel etc. fixed this but gave me awful battery life
3) Installing the modded kernel then fixed the battery life (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/9-battery-drain-overnight-97-deep-sleep-t3382145)
I can stretch it to 3 days with light use, a day of heavy use can put me back 50-60%
I'm from the UK with the UK unbranded official ROM.

I'll suggest also try other usb cable and power adapter. If they start to have problem, the battery will give you a wrong full charged report.

I meant fake battery statistic .... If your cable or adapter starting to have problem, it told you 100% but actually only 50% so dropping real fast.

Ок i try.
I found software RealBattery and CaliBattery.Try this too.
I have also recently upgraded from Z3C to Z5C with stock Singapore Customized FW, but I live in France (ordered from eBay).
Weird thing is that during the day it loses may be 30-40% in 6 hours, but every evening after I come back from work, phone overheats with battery up to 50 degrees and drains 30% in 1 hour...
In stats, it shows Android OS using most of battery and keep awake being 80% of up time...
I had same issue on Z3C with last 6.0.1 MM.
During the night I usually lose 5-10%.
Any advice?

In other thread suggested to flash HK FW and reported to fix battery drain. Remember to wipe all data during flash and reset the phone.

The problem is that I have E5803, and not E5823...
Will the HK FW work on it? It's only for E5823 I think (according to Xperifirm)
Also, what exactly should I do - I should wipe everything when installing using Flashtool right?
Should I also do reset after installation?
Can I restore my backup or you would recommend to make a clean install of the apps as well?
I don't want to lose data of apps.

Before reflash or do someting try to use clean frimware without your usually apps.Do factory reset.Dont forget to make backup of your current state phone i f you need.
I think problem exactly in your apps.
I have issue with night drain and i try HK frimware on my 5823 and i dont feel any difference.

Okay, now that I have gathered some statistics I take back my words about significantly improved battery life. It's slightly improved and still awful.
I'm using stock fw, but have deleted about 60-70 apps I don't have any use for. I also use OM5Z kernel. I experience no drain what I know of, usually have about 3 days with normal use.
The only issue I experienced is that the phone totally crashed a couple of times. I can't wake it up at all, and it doesn't take any charge (LED doesn't lid up). I have to use the reset button to reboot it. But so far, it's a small issue

I just wanted to put this out there. I have O beta installed with latest update, no root, bootloader locked, DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn, greenify (whatever it can do without root and jumping through adb hoops), stock launcher and I have never ever ever had such a great standby battery life. In EX kernel managers battery monitor, I see < 1 % per hour screen off battery drain consistently where I have not been able to go below 2.2% with any, (I say any and I have tried all) rom+kernel combination on 7.1.x.
This is GREAT!! I have never been happier with any stock rom ever.
EDIT: I would like to add that I have LG Urbane watch connected with phone all the time so bluetooth is on all the time but I bluetooth scanning is disabled (in location improvement, wifi scanning is still on). Battery optimizations for android wear is disabled.

Is it possible you can take a screenshot of your battery stats from settings so some of us that like visuals can see? What is your screen on time like?
That's interesting, cause my battery life and performance have both dropped significantly for me on O compared to Nougat
It's worse on O, though pretty great for beta. I've got up to 5h of SOT.

Best ever is 7h on PN and Frank kernel.
Stock usually 5h so the O isn't too far off. Maybe very slightly for me. It can only improve from here I think.

7h is unheard of. were you on battery saver mode the entire time?
I can get over 6h on a fully stock pixel, locked bootloader and all. I would say the majority of my time is on wifi. O beta seems to work well but my understanding from a community post by Google, don't have the link anymore, is you need beta Google play services installed as well to get O's battery benefits. I can't say that it makes more of a difference for me in comparison to avoiding notorious apps which hinder performance. I had similar battery life on N.

fyi: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/6djbbf/for_those_on_o_beta_you_must_also_be_on_the_g/
My battery life on O was horrendous. We're talking night and day. I run stock with not more than 20 or so apps. Something is really really wrong with O. I've gone back and forth on the beta twice with the same results.
I use the beta ROM about one week and it is very very good , also battery very good

I'm getting really nice batterylife with 8.0, which is awesome. It is now more in line with my average battery life with other devices like the HTC 10 and such. This however is fine to me as long as it's not dying by 1-2PM for me haha

If you can, please gives us a little bit more about your setup meaning if you have root, kernel managers, aggressive doze app (greenify, naptime, etc), limiting background services etc

I am completely stock, just updated today. I turned off background operation using the battery manager built in to Android to limit apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Chrooma Keyboard, etc.
For my usage my phone wouldn't last very long. I would probably hit 50% with an hour of screen on time. Now I'm at an hour and 54 minutes with 54% left. I've been off the charger since around 11AM, and it's currently 4PM so I'm definitely gonna have to see where it goes from here. When I leave work the real concern is heat when playing music or podcasts over Bluetooth, for whatever reason my phone was getting really hot when I used Bluetooth so I'll see how that is when I leave work today.

"DNS66 app for adblocking and always on vpn"....slightly confused by this..did you mean that you get privacy features like other VPN providers? AFAIK as I know DNS66 is only a local VPN and does not provide security/privacy features
