Galaxy S6 Battery Life Thread

[Liquid_Chaos87]

So from what I'm seeing above, it's not a good idea to do a factory reset? Because I'm getting frustrated. I unplug my phone at 3:30 am. I turn off wi-fi and GPS (Bluetooth I can't because of my smartwatch). And by the time I go on break at 7:00, I'm already down to 68%. I have the GSam battery monitor and look at the battery usage and the OS is using the most. The 3rd party apps are all usually under 2% of usage. By the time I go on lunch at 12:00, it will be around 40% and I have to plug it into a battery charging case. But I work in a lab, I'm not even using it while I'm working. So having to charge it from minimal usage is very irritating. I've tried Doze, but that doesn't seem to be working either.

Just try one day without Bluetooth to see if it makes a sufficient difference.

Re: Android System draining battery.

Ever since the last update that added app optimization on 5.1.1 I've seen a great improvement overall. I can get 3 SoT and over 24 hours off the charger

Re: Android System draining battery.

When At&t pushed out 5.1.1 finally battery life took a huge ****. Pushing to get much over 2.5H SOT. They finally pushed a small update and battery life is back.

I started to avg 4.5h SOT with 16+ off charger and be sitting on 15~20°

Are you using any launchers such as KK Launcher, any customization at all? Or just using Builtin Launcher TouchWiz?
