Poor Galaxy S6 battery life and weird battery stats, what could be wrong?

Poor galaxy s6 battery life and weird battery stats

I'm averaging around 2-3 hours of screen time right now. My biggest question is that in the battery tab of the phone, the percentages aren't adding up.

Hi!
The percentages shown in the battery stats are usually an estimate of battery used until that point. For instance, if your battery level is at 40% and the stats are showing display using 20% it means that 20% of the 60% of power consumed was used by the display.

As for the poor battery life there are unfortunately TONS of threads on AC about the poor s6/s6 edge battery. Some of them have some useful tips on ways to extend battery life. Maybe browse through them and see if you can glean any info?

Also, check out this AC article on how to squeeze the most juice out of your s6.
