My S6 has the worst battery life of all my phones. I am at 23% with 9:30 hours since full charge and 1:50 of screen on time. Does that sound normal for this phone? Also the touch ID has not worked since day one. I've had it 6 days.
Thanks
 
Try rescanning it, hold the same part of your finger down for at least 3 times then move it around to other area's of your finger.
If it's still not working then I would advise you to take it in the get a replacement before your 14 days are up
 
Without knowing the specific usage, it is hard to tell. Take screen shots of the battery stats.

Sounds like you'll be getting around 3 hours screen time by the time the phone is dead. That's about what I get but I may get a little more some days.

Though my fingerprint scanner works without too many issues. Maybe reset the prints and re-enter them.
 
Yeah, I've redone the prints multiple times. I've even entered the same finger print 3 times hoping it would take. Now I deleted them all and don't use it. Maybe I should exchange it.
 
I've taken screen shots. Can't seem to figure out how to post them :(


You have to be on the full webpage and not the mobile version to attach attachments.
But I would recommend going ahead and exchanging it so your 14 days before expires because then you'll have to go through the warranty department after 14 days.
 
The Tapatalk app also allows attachments

Ended up returning it before the 14 days was up. I wasn't happy with the battery life. Back to using my 6 plus.
 
I don't believe the "on screen" percentage in the battery app is accurate.
But the battery isn't horrible, and is definitely manageable, especially when you can gain 50% of your battery back in less then 30 minutes.
