Last night I was streaming movies using showbox and mx player. Nothing disabled and noticed how good my battery was. 6 hours SOT with 35 percent left over.

A part of most tests performed on the S6 for battery endurance are done by streaming a video with a set amount of brightness (probably on the lower end). On most tests, the S6 gets 10+ hours of battery. Sounds fair that after 6 hours of streaming videos you can still get a decent percentage of battery remaining. While watching videos, the processor sits on the lowest (or lower) frequency of its set, so it consumes less power than when browsing (multiple touch inputs and load from the browser) or doing other activities. Getting 4+ hours of SOT on daily use usually requires excelent signal strength, disabling location and other -sometimes- useful services and limiting apps than sync constantly.
I have a new s6 being shipped to me this week but I'm hesitant to swap bcuz the new one might not have as good battery. Got a couple scratches on the aluminum on this one when I was drunk... Even though the case hides it it bugs me knowing they are there.

Hi,
can somebody give me advice? I have quite big stanby drain. As you can see cell stanby and phone idle are high (around 12%). I lost about 10% of battery at night for 6 hours with wifi and data off..I am using latest radio and latest insertcoin rom. Thanks in advance.

Check the running apps in task manager at night before you go to sleep. There may be a game or an app which takes a large amount of RAM and battery power.
Losing 10% overnight is about what I have always seen with my phone..

I killed all tasks just to be safe..didnt help. I got about 180mA when idling which looks bit much. On my old Desire it was 3-5mA when sitting overnight..
There are plenty of threads on battery issues and how to minimize battery loss ... but otherwise one just have to live with the fact that batteries have not improved that much over the years as we would have liked to see.
So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.

Anyone have any tips on what I can disable on a stock non rooted device to get my Android System battery usage down? It's always on top and is usually in excess of 25%. As it stands I can't even get a day out of this thing with only 1.5 hrs of screen on time.
Maybe the battery is bad, phone is only a couple weeks old.
Oh and I should mention that there's no wakelocks or anything strange, it appears it's a legitimate battery drain. My screen brightness is low as well and today I never woke it up outside, just inside abient light. WiFi is off as well.

A thread all by myself, cool.
Today my battery has been unbelievable, only dropped 28% in 12 with plenty of use. I don't know what to think.
Same issue here.
I've had the phone for 5 days now.
First 3 were a blast with over 5 hours SOT.
I am now getting little over 2 hours SOT thanks to Android System.
Lonely threads come with expensive devices. No support, No Roms, No Development.
Anyhow, For your issue, Try minimizing the permissions of builtin apps. Disable autorun, and use greenify.
It appears that the S7 has the same problem that my S6 had. The bluetooth just being enabled kills the battery. I have a seperate work phone so my personal S7 spends all day collecting dust on my desk while I am working. I noticed the battery seemed to be dropping rapidly even when I am not using the phone. I did an experiment today. I was at 100% battery and I did not touch my phone for 4 hours with the bluetooth enabled. The battery fell 13%. I then disabled bluetooth and didn't touch the phone for 4 more hours. This time the battery only fell 3%! My S6's bluetooth did the same thing. The S6 did not have this issue when it was new but started eating battery after an update about 6 months ago. My wife's S6 has the same issue. Is anyone else seeing your battery drop quickly with bluetooth enabled?
The change in discharge rate is very apparent in the chart:

yeah, i posted a thread about this same exact thing. I use Bluetooth daily with my Moto 360 except on weekends, and this weekend my battery life was so much better than during the week

Try going into your Location settings, then the Improve accuracy section and turn off Bluetooth scanning. There's some Bluetooth background scanning on by default even if you turn off Bluetooth.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This is my usage today.. I'm on 50% brightness and Wifi from 8am-5pm and then LTE till just now... Mostly reading Reddit today and had about 40 mins or seeing videos and YouTube.. Really not impressed and lost on what to do to improve battery life..

How else is everyone else getting on with their sot?
Horrible. Switched back to mate 20 pro
Mine was having a maximum screen on time of 5 hrs and 30 mins on FHD+ display resolution. With the recent update, the battery life is improved to 7 and half hrs S.O.T with QHD+ display resolution. I'm quite satisfied now!
Love my SOT.. Best ever.. Everything to the max
I get 11 jours SoT on average. I bought my phone in Seoul, with 4500mAh battery capacity.
I have 11 SoT usually, very happy with performance. The negative point is the actual capacity is 4300mAh rather than the advertised 4500mAh
one ui 2.0 screen on time menu sucks though
