S6 Battery Life - TERRIBLE! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

I've been using the TMO S6 for a couple weeks and my battery life is terrible.
I have used greenery to hibernate everything I can, but as you can see in the attached picture the Android system is running overtime. I am lucky if I get 4 hrs of battery time. I also have the screen brightness set to less than 50%.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I simply can not get good battery life with this phone!

I've been a 32GB unlocked HTC One owner since day one. Battery life for me has been very mediocre, barely enough to make it through a work day with light to moderate usage. For some reason this phone drains so much on standby it's ridiculous. Last week I finally gave in and decided to root. I've found that standby still sucks but the screen uses less power so I can get more screen on time on average. I'm running InsertCoin with ElementalX kernel and for every hour of standby I lose ~3+ percent of battery! I'm not even using the phone! I have EVERY APP on my phone Greenified, Google Search, Gmail, and Play Music uninstalled, I have the phone undervolted and monitor everything with Wakelock Detector and GSAM. Nothing looks weird to me but for some reason my standby still sucks. I've literally crippled my phone and have all location services turned off and I still can't get good standby time. My iPhone 5 could last forever on standby, literally 3-5 hours without losing a single percent. I've been using Android for years and the only phone that got GOOD battery life was the Note 2. At this point I'm considering going back to it because I'm sick of micromanaging my phone and still not getting good results.
Is anyone else having similar issues? There are some people here getting 6+ hours on screen time with ridiculous numbers like 38 hours without a charge. I can't get anywhere near that even with the screen on the dimmest settings. I don't understand how there's so much variation in battery life. I don't play any games or watch movies on the phone, just simple social networking and music for 30 minutes a day.

The HTC one isn't the best phone when it comes to standby time but still,I find battery life to be pretty good, super easy to get through a work day. Maybe you have an app that is running in the background and draining your battery. Install betterbatterystats and try monitoring your apps. That's all I can think of. Also take a look at the battery stats thread and see if folks can help you there.

As you are well aware, there can be a myriad of causes. I just want to recount one example where I made a settings adjustment which cut my battery life by over half. I doubt very much this is the reason for your poor battery life but perhaps others may benefit.
About a month ago I purchased a brand new router. Being a tinkerer, I was fiddling with this and that on the router trying to optimize everything. I also played with the phone and amongst various settings I decided to turn on "best wifi performance". The One has the warning about "may consume more power", but I did not think much about it as I knew I had very good battery life and believed that a bit more power would probably not change matters that much.
Later on in the evening I saw that my battery life was horrendous and I started scratching my head as to why it had gone to hell in a hand basket. Finally, I recalled that I had adjusted "best wifi performance" and did a search on this and found a thread on another forum.
I turned it off, recharged my phone and followed battery life keenly. 24 hours later, I could see that my battery life had returned to normal (normal being between 4-6 hours of screen on time over the duration of a full charge).
Interested if the mods will lock this thread in that they may feel that this should fall under the battery stats thread.

Wow thanks. I was starting to wonder what crazy app I downloaded. Forgot I was messing with settings. Lo and behold that option was checked. I didn't have it checked when ibfirst got this phone and had awesome batt life.

Battery life of the One is pretty good for most people but there are some issues for some of us and lately some apps have updated and introduced even more bugs causing drain, I'll list some of the causes I found:
-msm_hsic_host wakelock bug on kernels pre- android 4.2.2
-location bug in google play store 4.1.6, fixed in 4.1.10
-whatsapp post juli 1st update (and the one before)
-htc usage reporting (on by default on s-off devices)
-reporting location setting on (in maps)
-some sim cards might not work to well which cause more frequents wake up (eg. in the netherlands vodafone sim cards with a serial number starting with 7 )
to properly debug you need wakelock detector and better battery stats (free here for xda users, search for it)
Edit:Just got an update for Whatsapp (and Facebook and Skype all at once), let's hope it fixes the battery drain.....

Maybe undervolted too much.

I was just thinking of the good battery performance I've been getting from the handset so far funnily enough.
I think it's been very good after only a couple of days with it.
Been using it moderately to heavy and it's held up pretty well. Over 13 hours now. Maybe it's certain apps u are using that's giving u problems with high drainage.

Although I have pretty good battery life when screen on (~5-6 hours), I have noticed the same drain as you when phone is in standby. The only huge wakelock that I have found is called 10113, AudioOut_4 or system*wakelock* mediaserver. I know that this process is for audio output but its draining like 20% of my battery when standby I was wondering if you have noticed this same wakelock on your phone?

I got mine FIXED !
I was having similiar problem with my HTC One tends to overheat a lot resulting in poor battery life. I tried every known tricks to get better battery life still no hope. Went to HTC Care in my area and told about the issue they immediately took it for repair (the phone was only one week old). After like waiting three days I got my phone and back there was a paper which describes about the repair Its said in the problem description "Display Abnormally and Battery Calibration issue" I dont know what they meant with display abnormally they really got fixed my battery life. Before I used to get 6 to 7 hours of battery life now I m averaging a day or two with moderate to light use. I m satisfied ! :good:

I think you misunderstand what overheat means. The HTC One does NOT overheat. You feel the heat more cos of it's metal body, which is releasing the heat through the metal surface. It's directing heat AWAY from the internals, unlike the S4 which uses the same chip and keeps all the heat inside cos plastic is a terrible heat transfer medium.

Also be sure to not use screen lock sounds or input sounds... the lock sound is the worst. I think it causes a wakelock bug that has been on Android since 4.0

Pixel Battery Saver

Has anyone tried the app Pixel Battery Saver?
It turns off some of the pixels on amoled screens. You can set how many with 7 different options for low to high.
It could be a great way to make the battery last longer when you know you will be away from a charger for a long time or to have on permanently.
The trade off is that the quality of the image is grainier.

I just installed it. I'm at 34% and using my phone heavy right now. Let's see what happens.

With Pixel Battery Saver running on high with the screen on always, I got about 2 hours of use until the battery hit 3%.

I started at 30%. It's not bad, just not worth it. I'm getting great battery life on L anyways.

I just use it for dimming my screen at night. Works great!

great for low battery situations
despise using android L with great batt management i have to admit based on my observations some good results using the app being triggered above 30% it shows much less consumption on display within battery stats

Battery Life

So I've been pretty unimpressed by battery life so far. Barely getting 3.5 hours
Anyone else getting better?

Gonna need more info than that. You talking screen on time? or total? under what settings? full screen brightness?

Yeah screen on time with auto screen brightness. Pretty much on LTE all day. Only disabled bloat apps.

Full day with it, unplugged at 3am and at 8:38pm cst, I am still at 48%. Now I don't use facebook or Tweeter so that helps my battery life. Wifi at work weak and slow so I am on LTE most of the time.

Same here. Only around 4 hrs with regular use. This device needs root.

Easily getting through a day with the phone. Most of the bloat disabled, moderate usage, Bluetooth/NFC/Wi-Fi always on, though mostly on LTE. I certainly don't expect this thing to last like my Note 4, but I'm pleased with the battery life. I get home with time to spare, and plug it in every night like any other phone, so its all good.

Root doesn't mean better battery life. My nexus 5 had about the same battery and got about the same battery life as my s6. And that's rooted, stock, slimrom, and cataclysm. My G3 has about 500 more mAh than the s6 and I get about 5 hours of screen time. Stock battery was better than cyanogen battery.
It's not 2012 anymore. Root is almost obsolete. It's good for app removal, rooted app functionality, and customization. Even if underclocked and undervolted it doesn't change dramatically. If u want a better battery, buy a phone with a bigger battery. MOST people don't look at their phone for 25% of their awake hours (if avg sleep is 8 hrs.) The s6 will give u 3.5-4hrs of screen time on 14-15 hours of use. That is plenty for MOST users

We badly need root. Rooting my phone has always improved the battery life and performance of your phone.

Battery life today was better I think. Screen-on time didn't even show up in the battery usage list, so i'm not sure how much it used. 20.5hrs since unplugging with 14% left.
This will definitely be a phone I'll have to get rid of after a year. With constant charging and a sealed battery, this device really doesn't have a long life. That's my main concern.

Someone in another thread turned off Enhanced LTE (Voice over LTE) under network settings and saw a much better battery life (or lack of drain).

I am experiencing insane WiFi battery drain. I am foregoing the use of WiFi in the mean time. Seems to help.

I updated mine plus turned off Wi-Fi and the hotspots setting in advanced Wi-Fi and battery life has improved. I still see screen as being one of the lowest factors for battery consumption. Our gs6 must have a very battery efficient display. Android os is now my top battery drain. I'm hoping an update to android 5.1 improves the system battery usage. I know it did on my nexus 6.

I was getting horrible battery life like you because of cell standby but I disabled enhanced lte and did a cache delete in recovery and now I'm getting almost 5.5 hours of screen on time with brightness set at 25%-50% on WiFi/lte. If you want I have screenshot.

I can vouch for this myself. I was getting pretty bad drain to the point where I was about to return the phone.
The cache wipe seemed to work wonders. Along with deleting and reinstalling google play services (I searched google play services in chrome, clicked the link and jninstalled reinstalled uodates , then did cache wipe)

S6 Active battery life comparison

Picked up a new S6 Active which, while having a 40% larger battery, Samsung lists as only having a 10-20% better battery life (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G890AZWAATT vs http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920AZDAATT). Having a g920f (international s6) handy, and wanting to do a real-world comparison, I immediately disabled the AT&T bloat, and set up both devices exactly the same (except for the S6 having root) including all the same applications, 3 different Exchange accounts, and Tasker running the same profiles. I tried using the devices exactly the same - one on top of the other on a table, doing all the same tasks. Primarily checking email, surfing the web, and watching YouTube, here's what I found:
After 24 hours of use, and 4.5 hours of SOT, the S6 was down to 4% battery. The Active, on the other hand, was still at 24%. The estimates in the Battery settings shows the S6 having another hour remaining, while the Active was predicting another 5.5 hours of use. Both phones did well, but the Active does appear to be holding out only about 15% longer (just like the Samsung website predicted).
So where is the rest of that extra battery going? The internals are supposed to be the same. Same software. With the 40% improvement in battery capacity, I was expecting the Active to show similar improvements in battery life, but it did not. Maybe it has to do with the phone not being conditioned by having been through several charge cycles (keep in mind this was straight out of the box after first full charge). Or maybe the AT&T firmware has more crap running in the background (which we might be able to eventually disable once we have root).
Anyways, I'm not here to recommend one over the other as they both have their pros and cons, but merely to share my findings...

Unfortunately I don't have a S6 to compare my Active to. I am very happy with the Active battery performance so far. I'm coming up on 2 days on a single charge under normal use conditions with 40% battery remaining. I'm still on my initial first full charge of the battery as well. I'm sure GSMArena will have battery numbers up as well. For me, I held off getting the standard S6 hoping the Active had a larger and removable battery. At least it is bigger and I'm happy with my purchase.

Thats pretty good actually.. I got an att s6 and i can barely make it to 3 hours SOT thats with greenify and root! (maybe because you got the international s6 thats why the battery life is better-no att bloat)
Now I'm seriously thinking of exchanging my s6 for the active...

Im sure the active will get better with a few charging cycles. And ppl are reporting more than a day of battery life with ease so thats a pretty big difference

That's pretty good! My S6 usually drops to 55-60% after 4 hours of podcasts and light web browsing. I don't mind though because I always charge the phone on my lunch break anyway. Though the longer battery life would be great if I am away from any power source. Hmmm, I'm starting to consider the Active.

Generally after a typical days use, my S6 would be around 20-30%. My active is around 50-60%.

It's way more than 10-20%. I've had them both and both set up exactly the same. I'd say it's at least 50% more battery life for me with the active.

There's a guy on Android Central that got 10hr SOT; pretty amazing.:good:

Almost hit the two day mark today.

At 3 days 10 hours, with 24% left. I consider myself a "light user". Occasional phone calls, text messages, check facebook a few times a day, youtube here or there, etc. I have NFC and GPS off. Bluetooth always on and WiFi set to turn off (use most data) when not in use. Disabled all the ATT/Microsoft apps except I left Milk Audio enabled. Also changed some sync settings and only sync Google App data, Mail, and Contacts. Not running any battery management apps.
ETA: I just installed greenify to hibernate Facebook and Messenger.

That's amazing. Anything else you can think of, let us know. I have done most of that. A lot of my battery drainage seems to come from MightyText; but I use its services and I am not sure how to make it better. Getting two days battery life is pretty sweet though, so I am not complaining much.

I haven't played with the standard S6, but this is my battery on it's first charge. Disabled about 32 apps that I deemed bloatware.
LTE 100% of the time. No WiFi.

Wow!

[Q] Replacement Battery?

Anyone know about replacing S6 Edge batteries? I feel like my battery dies too quick even debloated and maybe changing it would be a good idea? I can't find any good ones on Amazon.

It is not your battery. it is the phone. My battery average is 2 to 3 hours screen on a full charged. On a good day, like when I set the phone to 0 brightness instead of of auto, it last over 4 hours.
Needless to say, this is my last Samsung.

Check out some of the battery apps like gsam or betterbatterystats. Try to identify what is keeping wakelocks, etc. My battery can easily last 4 hr of screen on time. But others, when the something is keeping it awake, it'll only get around 3 tops. Not sure what version you're on, but there were bugs with the 'enhanced 4g' stuff turned on that were draining battery. Google search if you need more info. There is lots of good info out there.

I would send it to Samsung for the battery replacement. Battery is pretty difficult to replace on this phone without damaging it.
Hoping after the 6.0.1 update, SOT will improve. I'm getting between 3 to 4 hrs of SOT on autobrightnes with everything on - GPS, WiFi, data, bluetooth, NFC.
