I realize OP was vague, but I just encountered the same thing myself today. Haven't changed usage patterns or added any new apps lately other than switching from BlueMail to Outlook.

Keep us updated. Any reason why you went full factory reset instead of say, cache wipe? Posted via the Android Central App

I didn't expect much from this update, but there has been a massive improvement in performance for me. Recently, I noticed that my phone was starting to bog down and get really slow when performing routine actions. I was entertaining the idea of a factory reset. After update, it's like the...

As new phone season arrives, I've been thinking about whether to hold on to my S6 or "upgrade" incrementally to the S7, G5, or maybe the new Nexus. All things considered, I realized that I am still quite happy with my S6, none of the new features of any of the new flagships this year make me...

Re: My own Galaxy S6 Battery Test I'm so jelly. 6h41m on, 1h41m SOT. Posted via the Android Central App

TWC isn't on my top battery offenders, but it is my top 3 data usage apps-- even with background data manually restricted. As someone with a 2gb/mo. plan, this is like almost 10% of my data. Uncool. Posted via the Android Central App

Day 2 with exchanged S6, still doing better than before. First time making it through a full workday. Wifi enabled. SOT just under 2h. Posted via the Android Central App

So yea i think in my OP I misreported my SOT. Took screenshots for my cycle today which is representative of my average phone use. Pretty far from 3-4 hrs SOT. Edit: I turned off VoLTE today, where previously I had it on due to a suggested fix to cell standby in another thread.

So if SOT = the value from Samsung, im actually getting closer to just 2h.

Wow that's really interesting about the restore. I did do a backup restore, but it was through a third party app (Easy Backup), which was mostly contacts and sms msg history. Not sure if that would have such an adverse effect.

What is the difference between the stats reported from the "screen" option from battery settings and the GSAM app's "<time> active" Reading? I'm at 31% with 2h23ms from screen, while GSAM says 3h55m.

Thanks for the responses so far guys. As far as my activity during SOT, it's almost all just browsing the web, social media and music. Standby is low bc I turned on VoLTE. Donno why ESPN usage is so high, I hadn't even opened the app since installing it.

Some screenshots. Top is wifi off, bottom two accurately reflect my 10 day average so far.

Verizon GS6 here. I've read many of the battery discussions already, tried most of the suggested courses of action and am still getting very subpar battery life. Getting to 20% after 7-8 hours from full charge with about 3-4 hrs SOT. Can't even make it through a full workday on a charge...
