You are definitely getting solid battery performance out of your S6! Agreed, Lollipop fixes will make your S6 a true superstar!
I just wish everyone was, but that's to be expected. Definitely just not the S6. Look through the forums. Lots of Lollipop complaints. It's been good for me though. Not perfect, but good.

I average this on both wifi and cell interchanging. Phone is set up like any other Android I've ever had. I don't let apps run rogue. Outside of the lollipop issue, I believe a lot of people's issues are user error. Android can multitask, unlike ios; but you can't let apps run rogue. Make sure they are closed when not in use.

This is very good. Glad I'm not the only one getting good battery life. Highest I've seen is 5 hours 45 minutes sot on mine.

That's quite impressive. I can't say, I'm not a little bit jealous of those SOT times.

I was able to get over 5hr 30 min SoT yesterday.
Ultimately it's up to you to make that happen.
I'll give some examples of how i have done it:
- Turned Enhanced LTE mode off (Keeps cell standby at bay)
- I keep wifi and bluetooth on at all times with the smart network switch enabled
- GPS off
- Brightness around 35%
- Blacked out everything (Except notification drawer: Using Nova Prime and stealth icon pack to truly make that happen)
- Nothing syncs automatically without my intervention
- I don't have Facebook and Messenger enabled along with a lot of other bloat (I created a shortcut to Facebook via chrome which does wonders for battery and is honestly a better way to use it)
- I don't close out apps unless necessary in the multitasking tray

All I've done is turned VoLTE off and cleared my cache partition a couple days ago. Clearing the cache made a big difference. I run Google Now launcher and use auto-brightness. On ATT.

Interesting. I keep my display on auto. My voice over lte is on(Verizon). Auto sync is on. Like you, I don't use the Facebook app and go to the browser instead. I've had problems with there app on every device. I consider it a rogue app. Using stock launcher. My average is between 4.5 to 5+hours sot. With 5:45 or so being the highest. Auto sync on or off hasn't seemed to make much difference, probably because of my settings in Google accounts which will let you choose what you want to update. Apparently hd voice on after clearing cache is a fix for cell standby on Verizon.

Its interesting how close our devices manage with just some simple user intervention...

Like I mentioned earlier. Outside of Lollipop issues I believe some of it is user error. That's the culprit of being able to customize, which I love. Did you see a big difference in battery going from the stock launcher to nova?

Give me a few more days and ill report back on that. I've only used it for a couple of days (Stealth and Nova Prime combo) and just from that alone, I've seen improvements from the battery.
I tried to black out as much as possible since of the SAMOLED display. Nova allowed to me to black out the app drawer and folders where the stealth icon pack blacked out the icons. I also make sure apps that support a 'night' mode have it enabled.
I will post screen shots for those who wish to see the setup
Interesting. I can't wait to see the results. I don't usually stay on the stock launcher, but this one has been toned down enough to the point that I enjoy it. If it'll boost up the battery life even more though I'm going to change it.

I think it'd be more helpful if people also included what they're running. a lot of SOT depends on how you're using your phone. 6+ hours is definitely impressive, for any phone, but if it's not with normal use, it doesn't really mean anything.

I can tell you what i have been using day in and day out:
Words with Friends (Sporadic here and there but there nonetheless)
Youtube (quite a lot lately: Used it for an hour or so last night)
Rocket player (Music listening usually for up to an hour or so)
Textra-- Texting which is again sporadic here and there
Chrome with a few tabs open
Next time I will screen grab it.
What do you consider normal? The screen should be the highest.
