A Typical Day of Real Life Use.

[PAC757]

Here are a few screen shots of a typical workday, real life use. This is a very good performing phone all around. The battery on this phone is really good.

I don't use my phone that hard since I'm sitting in front of a PC all day at work. I get about 3-3.5 days on a full charge.

My standby time is pretty bad. I usually got 15 hours with 3-4 hours screen on time.
I left the phone off charger overnight and it dropped 9% in 6 hours.
I have already disabled bloatware and my wifi and location is all off.
I do leave Bluetooth and google now on since I connect it to moto360.
Thus I don't see it goes for over 2 days even with very light usage...Can you share your settings?

Power saving mode on will help and it does not hurt performance at all.

It seems like everyone is reporting great battery life.
For me it is very mediocre. I usually got around 4 hours screen on time in 15 hours.
I have disabled all the bloatware, location history off, wifi scan off, NFC off, bluetooth on, one gmail and one email sync. Also using Greenify to kill apps when locking the screen.
None of them seems help the battery life especially when it's in standby.
It holds up pretty well when I am actually using it.
Here is the screenshots:

Imo you don't need to have app killers/task managers anymore... why don't you try a couple days without it and see any changes if any

I did try not using Greenify for one day and it doesn't seems have any affect.
After all, Greenify shouldn't make the battery life worse.

Android wear cost most of the battery list

It seems to me this phone has the battery life the S6 should have had in the first place. I have the s6 and my main gripe with it is the battery. This is going to be somewhat remedied this week with the arrival of a battery charger case. I hope these phones sell big even if I don't get the benefit of using one. Maybe Samsung might get the message that people want the bigger battery

Mine is amazing using a few tips from s6 edge forum and disabling every att app plus more that I never use. Some people didn't believe my battery stats so I used gsam one time to prove even though is a strain on your battery.

From the looks of this GSam is reporting only 1 hour of activity on the phone but the screen was on 13 hours. Do you have no timeout set on the screen so it sits on but at a low brightness? This would make a lot more sense since 13-15 hours is not a normal SoT.

SoT with the phone just sitting there doing nothing is one thing but .. for real world battery use most are using the phone while the screen is on (such as watching movies, facebook, texting, etc.)
