Battery life not all that bad

[Ken Allen3]

Well.. Second charge.. Mostly browsing.,twitter, WhatsApp, FB etc. Google now off, no power saving, auto brightness. Wifi mostly but some 4g. I'm happy enough with this.
What u guys think?

Yeah, ok so far for the first day I was in the car so I had access with the charger but tried to let it deplete. I was on a few phone calls, Facebook, play a game or two, watched some youtube, installing some apps, and just getting to know the phone. It last on screen for about 6 hours before it retired last night. Hopefully it will be better the next few charges. So far so good but the true test is when I go to a conference next week and won't have access to a charger as easily.

I like it...that looks outstanding! I'd be thrilled if I could get that! What carrier are you?

Good to be hearing from retail owners instead of reviewers with pre-release units.

I unplugged the phone this morning at 8am, it's now 4pm and I'm at 53% with a lot of usage during the day. I have to say I'm pretty impressed I've had the phone for two days though .. Remains to be seen how it will do in the future..

Same here I'm getting about 5hrs screen on time per charge after 4 days with the S6 edge.

Those look exactly like my past 2 Daily Stats, I'd be posting my daily Battery stats in the thread I created about Tips and Tricks, but besides the past 2 days with 5 hours and 10 minutes on Friday and 5.5 hours yesterday, today I unplugged it at 8:10am, now at 4:25pm I'm at 80%, with a lot of standby and just 1 hour and 7 minutes of SoT, more than 2 hours on just LTE and no Wifi (Past 2 days has been 80% Wifi on Friday and 100% yesterday) and connected to my Asus Zenwatch and Android Wear via Bluetooth.

Right around the same average of SoT I've been having for the past 2 days, it should be around 5.5 hours again today, very, very good for a phone with a 2600 mAh and a QHD screen.

I can't say I have any complaints about the battery life. I'd probably have to disagree with Phil about the M9 having better battery life. Maybe it's better than his T-Mobile S6, but I doubt it's better than what I'm getting.

My T-mobile version gets great battery life. I don't know what is going on with everyone else's.

With battery stats like these on AT&T, less than impressive M9 battery performance with a much larger battery, and hopefully, more powerful batteries getting smaller as well as chipsets and displays getting more energy efficient, it will mean an end to the swappable battery being excluded from flagship devices. This really shouldn't be such a prominent consideration in a purchase or pass decision.

Looks like the patch and switching off VoLTE helped out quite a bit. Glad TMO owners are getting battery stats like the rest of us.

Yeah, I was nervous because I switched from At&T. I have still been holding on to my ATT GS5 because I wasn't sure if I would be switching back, I was due for an upgrade anyway on the 12 month next program. But now I guess I can trade it in and get it paid off. But I guess T-Mobile must have updated the gold before it shipped, because mine didn't update when I turned it on. Is 5.0.2 the update because that's what i'm running?

Great battery life for me as well. I'm using Verizon with advanced calling.

Mines not good in my opinion. I'm on par for about 2.5 hours of SOT. Verizon phone BTW.

Not enough information to assess....

What kind of settings/brightness/processes running do you have to get that sort of battery life?

No power saving modes. Auto brightness. I've been on WiFi all day.

Do you have location services turned on?
What about VoLTE?

Others should think for themselves if removable batterys are important or not.

FTFY
