battery/heat output wtf over, signal sux - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

OK I know phones put out heat but not with the simplest of tasks. I mean this is ridiculous if I play a game on it it gets smoking hot. My wife's nexus 6 doesn't even get warm and my s 5 I traded in for this barely got warm even with heavy use. Now onto the battery omg it drains faster than a 454 wide open does anyone have any advice or work around that actual work to improve both of these issues I am rooted have greenify, and tibu with some bloat frozen but still no noticeable difference thanks in advance
Oh yeah did I mention that the signal sux ass I'm constantly loosing lte coverage and it takes forever to even load the playstore....

I can literally sit here on the lowest brightness, everything disabled and watch the battery percentage go down. On super light use (navigating settings etc) it's warm.
Tried stock... or on clean rom...same.

Just charged to full, did a factory reset..Started fresh no restore and it went from 100% to 94% in less than 8 minutes. Is this a joke? Lol yeah this one is going back! Oh and those 8 minutes we're very very light use..just navigating phone.

ugh
I've been up for 3 hrs and I'm down to 52% I am using my tether but that's it. Think I might take this back and try the edge or another s6...I heard lollipop 5.1 is suppose to fix these issues any buddy have an info what so ever on the problems causing this. I love the phone but something needs to happen here and fast

3 hours tethering and you only lost 48%? That's pretty good. Tethering uses your cell data (battery kilker) and constant WiFi (battery killer) while keeping the CPU out of deep sleep to process routing for the tethered devices.

Yeah I know it eats battery, I don't have Internet where I live so tether is all I get it blows I'm also comparing to my wife's nexus 6 and my s 5 which both never dropped at this rate.

I get as good battery life as my N6, which is not as much as I'd like, but it's good enough. It's 2 and I've only dropped my phone on wireless charging for a few mins, and it's at 74%.

24+ Hour Battery

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)
It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..
Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.

Question about battery performance from a prospective buyer

I have my finger hovered over the "Buy" button in Moto Maker but im a tad concerened about battery life. Most reviews say its OK but have also heard slightly worse. Im a relatively heavy user listening to podcasts via bluetooth incar and also the normal social network stuff along with connection to a Moto 360. I do however have easy access to an in car charger throughout the day should the phone need charging. Im just slightly concerned for when I have days out with no access to a charger.
How are Moto X owners on here finding battery life?
Hi man. I'm not a heavy user and I can do the whole day.
As you say, the heavy users are not very happy with the battery life and there is not yet clear if with Lollipop is better or not. What I have read almost in every post about this, is that people is suggesting to have the turbo charger with you all the time if you are a heavy user....
Anyways, I'm not a heavy user and I think is OK, but yep...is not fantastic.
There are way too many of these threads. The battery is NOT bad. If u manage ur device well there wont be any issues with battery. Also everyone will have different results based on how the phone is used.
I'm not as heavy a user as you are; the main things I do on my phone is surf G+, browse the internet (using Chrome), use Reddit News, use bluetooth to connect to my car and stream music (probably about 2-3 hours a day), and of course text (using Google's Messenger app and GroupMe). I also have Location services on High Accuracy, but use WiFi mostly. Typically, I get 4-5 hours of screen time. The best I've seen was a little over 6 hours of screen time over a ~14 hour time period.
Coming from a Nexus 5, I think the battery life is awesome (I got 4 hours max. on a good day). If you do pull the trigger, get the Turbo Charger, too. With that, unless you go a really long time without seeing a power outlet, I don't think you should have any real concerns regarding battery life.
I really think the battery is fine here is a screen shot of my battery usage. I have exchange and two gmail accounts. This is with an hour flight listening to music on Moto Buds and 2.5 screen on time.

Battery Life and Heat Issues

Got my Droid Turbo 3 days ago coming from an LG G2 and I really like it but the battery life is terrible with minimal usage and I can't even get phone to last for a day. It drops 5‰ per hour even if the screen is off and phone is in my pocket. When I do occasionally use the phone to check emails and browse the web on chrome, the entire phone gets very warm. So warm that its uncomfortable to hold it. During this time the battery really sarts to die. I am running unrooted factory KK 4.4.4 so does anyone think the problem will go away if I root it with one of the stripped down images? Or do I have a broken phone?
Fyi, the only apps that I've installed aside from preloaded apps are adobe, Microsoft outlook, greenify, waze, and a realcalc. Waze is never on unless in the car and plugged in. My G2 with all these apps and more and with double the usage lasted much much longer.
Please advise
Welcome! A couple things to keep in mind man: it can take a good week before battery life stabilizes on a new device. Waze has always been a ***** on battery in my experience. I personally disabled every sing app I don't use, which was quite a few of the pre installed. I keep my location set to battery saving mode unless using nav. I'm also one of the ones whose battery life got awesome after the 5.1 update. With all that said, I only lose 4% overnight, about 6-7 hours. Is your device not sleeping? Check the battery stats and see if something is keeping it awake. The stock one will give you general info but I use Gsam to keep a closer eye on things. Try removing Waze and see if that helps with the heat issue. Running GPS is the only time my phone even gets mildly warm.
No issues here. Got 8 hours screen on time just now

I am unrooted kit Kat. I usually see 1% drain per hour plus 10% per hour of screen on time. 24 hours after a full charge, with 4 hours screen on, I expect about to have used 24%+40%.
Maybe I just need to full reset. What about heat? Do these phones get hot during use?
I assume you've checked the pre-installed apps (Motorola and/or Verizon) and disabled any you don't need. I've found some of them eat the battery a bit (FYI I came from a LG G2 and am using a Moto Maxx).
Go to settings-apps-all. Disable the junk you don't use. Some of those apps are battery killers. I wouldn't go root till you figure out if you have a lemon.

Question Is my Battery drain fast

This my first charge of the phone ,on my hand yasterday,I think battery drain fast ,or should I wait for 3 full charge to judge it?

I think you're perfectly fine. Even better than me. I usually keep my 5G off - don't really need it most of the time and it drains the battery faster than 4G
Wanna trade?
But how long time should the battery stand screen on ,can it make screen on for 5 hr!?

What is the MiuiMix please!?
Put the refresh down to 60 or 90 , most apps I use don't support 120hz anyway.
I can even lower the resolution to FHD+ and it barely annoys me anymore
Especially if I know I want it to last the whole day
Changing from 5g to 4g helps a lot of if you're using it to navigate with Google maps, runs much cooler too

Something is wrong if you'd losing 70% that fast with everything turned down low, factory reset or new ROM probably best
This is a whine. Battery usage is different for every user. Depending on a variety of situations, like apps or features that autostart and/or run in the background, as well as refresh rate, how often you use the phone and type of usage, etc...

Question Motorola Edge 30 Ultra - awesome battery life!

I just want to say that the Motorola had an incredible battery life!
I am on my third day using this phone and i have about 50% left with almost 6 hours SOT! Coming from an iPhone 13 Pro Max, this is awesome battery life
P.S. ik What the spikes are in the graph, but i didnt charge the phone whatsoever!
What battery performance do you guys get?

As a Motorola users for a long time, this is pretty normal actually. Motorola phones have excellent battery life - way better than iPhones. Iphone users are just over exaggerating that they have good battery. Add to the fact that most of them haven't used a flagship Android device or if they once did, it would most likely be a Samsung.

Auto my dear. If you live with wifi and 4G on, you will never understand those numbers. Start with these first

This is from last night and this morning. Brightness is in between 10 - 30%.
Great
ok thank you
Hi, how much SOT Can do Moto on mobile data? Thanks for rep.
Bluetooth and 4g all the time
from what i see battery life is good on wifi, when using mobile data it's not so good anymore, someone uses two sim cards and only mobile data and could show their battery stats
I got additional 2 hours of battery life when I disabled 5G, excellent.
Personally my phone's battery is so bad. I mean it lasts long enough but it just suddenly turn off at 20 or 18 or so. Other times it acts normally. Sometimes when I charge it, the battery percentage would stay at 100 for hours, then it starts going down and at 40 the phone dies
8hs aprox
