Re: S6 battery draining after 5.1.1 update

If your battery drain is 2-3% per hour when not in airplane mode, then you have no problem since that is normal.

bro teach me how to do the cache partion erase

Just Google samsung s6 wipe cache

First power off your phone completely by holding the power button then selecting Power Off. Once off, press power, volume up, and home all together, not sequentially. Release the buttons when you see the Recovery Booting text. Then use volume down/up keys to select Wipe Cache Partition, then press the power button briefly to select it. In a few seconds it finishes and goes back to the menu. Select Reboot System Now, and briefly press power to select. The reboot may take awhile as it needs to recompile all of the apps.

This is how I do it, do not release any of the buttons.

Power off

Press and hold home, then press and hold volume up, then press and hold power. Then it will boot into recovery.

You are holding all 3 buttons down at the same time.

Re: My own Galaxy S6 Battery Test

Mine runs about 4-5 hours SOT but depends on my day and what's used, especially if I have to use GPS navigation

And the Note 5 thread should work for the S6 battery also.

Re: S6 battery draining after 5.1.1 update

Stop with these updates . The battery is draining to much from these updates.

Re: S6 battery draining after 5.1.1 update

Do you think it could be a Verizon problem? My phone used to last all day but now it's almost dead by lunch. It's weird but it only does it on the wifi at work, not at home. But at work I also have normal phone service but at home I only have one bar. I've wiped the cache and deleted all unnecessary apps. I've also disabled everything I can. Usually after a battery drain the cell radio will say it has used 20-25% of the battery. Maybe if I didn't use wifi at work? I haven't tried airplane mode at work yet.

Re: S6 battery draining after 5.1.1 update

This exact thing happened to me. It was great before the update and it's driving me insane. I already tried clearing cache and still nothing. I have Verizon if that matters... Cell Standby and Android Services show as the biggest drains.

Try spending the day without wifi turned on while you are at work. See if that helps you any.

What is your actual signal strength? Not how many bars but actual xxdB signal strength.

Re: S6 battery draining after 5.1.1 update

I found that bluetooth after the update is the culprit. Used to leave it on all the time but after 5.1.1 it drains the battery whether connected or not. Now I just turn on when getting in my car or to connect to a device and battery life is much better. No other changes.

Disabling this significantly increased my battery life.
Hoping it would work for others too.
