Almost nobody has to go and do what you are doing to get good results with battery. I personally think that you have a broken phone and need to get a new one or try a different phone and see if that helps. Posted via the Android Central App

Considering that the S6 on auto brightness can push the screen upto 720 nits vs most phones of its category can only do 440ish, there is a huge difference in battery consumption with auto brightness turned on. Auto brightness by default has always been a bigger battery drain then manual for...

I played this game in the beginning and didn't have any issue. Maybe the latest patch ruined it? Posted via the Android Central App

Re: My own Galaxy S6 Battery Test 1) always connected. About 50% on wifi. 2) brightness is always on manual indoors, and mostly on auto if I go outside. About 75% I'm indoors. Brightness during manual/indoors is normally at 35%. 3) no, I don't use most social networking. Nobody cares that...

There are many reasons why poor battery life can happen when it comes to any phone. But you're right. Some carriers have destroyed battery life for their S6 such as T-Mobile and their wifi calling software. In your case, you may have had a broken phone and not even noticed. But what ever the...

You either got a broken phone or your service is terrible in your area (or your screen brightness is at max all day). I'm on AT&T as well. Your numbers are not normal. Posted via the Android Central App

I totally agree and understand your frustration about tweaking or turning off features that you'll never use to get better battery life. But the flip of this is to then not buy a phone with such features such as a phone like the nexus 6. But then, even with a phone that has limited or no extra...

That is "effort"? The simple fact that when on any phone service strength matters and will drain your battery fast when it's poor. The same can be said with apps that can constantly drain your battery (otherwise also known as rogue apps.) A simple check to see just how good your service is...
