My battery - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this is my battery as of now. When I clicked on apps, it showed android system as using the most battery. Should it be like this?

The reason I ask is because I'm getting pretty bad battery usage. Do these screen shots mean I'm getting regular battery usage?

That looks normal as you've not had your screen on very long for a 6 hour period.

But at the end of the day I had ALMOST 2 hours of screen usage. Doesn't thatseem odd? Yea, my phone technically was on for over 14 hours, but the battery should last longer shouldn't it?

You should probably post this in the Battery thread.

[Q] Heavy Battery Drain Issue

Hello,
Since last week I have been noticing that the battery drains pretty fast. I'm running on Mokee RC3 with JbX .7b(26/7). I find the same issue on liquid smooth too.
Not running any applications. All are hibernated using greenify. The phone runs on ktonservative itself. Most of the time the screen was off say more off. I'm attaching the screenshots of the battery stats and so on. Tried clearing the battery cache and so on but didnt work. WIFI off, 3G off, GPS off
I know that there are many posts on battery drain around, I tried searching and didnt find a similar issue and I've got this feeling that its my battery dying.
Kindly help me.
Edit: Mods, Please move it to Q& A. It was an accident putting it in General
That's a lot of screen time.. that's nearly 3h of screen time rite?

The screen was off for d entire time. technically this was during night while I was sleeping. screen was off. screen time out is set to 30 Sec
That's a huge drain.. but your screen seems like the one dominating the chart.. wakelock maybe?

In batterystats under partial wake lock, all I see dominating is AudioOut_2 (15.7%)
most of the user apps are hibernated using greenify. Likewise No Viber installed.

Your screen was 71% of the overall battery usage. Are you sure the screen was off the whole time? I see in your first screenshot that the screen was on almost half of the time (the blue line under the graph at the top). If this was indeed while you were sleeping then I would say that you have an app that not only wakes the phone but also turns on the screen.

Hey guys,
thanks for your replies.. I was soo irritated with this drain. some issues with the battery stats too i guess.. coz when I get into bmm and choose system 4, its showed 99% charge always and for the remaining roms, it displayed it right.
Due to impatience, I deleted all those *.img's and created new ones..installed mokee on a different system . Now i guess its fine.

I've noticed that sometimes BMM will show 99% battery regardless of what the actual battery percentage is. I've never thought much of it, and I have learned to not rely on it to give a correct reading in regards to the battery. I strongly suspect that was the culprit with your issue then, just a matter of an incorrect battery reading.

Hi,
A good practice would be to wipe the battery stats when you install a new ROM.

Well the screenshot tells us nothing. You'd have to give us all the battery screen shots. But from what I can see, 14 minutes on battery, a lot of screen use and some gaming... 3% isn't bad at all. You can't really judge anything on 15 minutes though.

While the N5 is one seriously amazing device, one thing it is not known for is having great battery life. You'll get used to it.

I already know that about the N5 battery, but i think it's particular problem with my phone.
You're still not showing all the screen shots. Your battery is fine. Look at the screen usage % of the other screen shot. Much less than yours
Here's the deal, if you use the screen, your battery goes down. Nothing new here.

Only 2 things affect screen battery use.
1) the amount of time you use the screen
2) the brightness of the screen.
So turn it down or turn it off.
Playing games will drop your battery fast. No way around it. ?

You can see they didn't play a game in their screen shot, where as you spent some time playing clash of clans. Gaming will always drain your battery quickly and this is not a unique behavior with the Nexus 5.
Also the higher frames per second your phone can achieve the quicker your battery will drain. This makes an interesting situation as once your phone gets hot and throttles down it will actually last longer as the frames get lower. If you were to limit the FPS or CPU clock speed you could actually game for longer.
Usage, Settings, and Signal determine battery life. This would be an example of how different usage will obtain different battery life.
so i perfer to have a battary case, this phone battary so tinty
Yeah i got that, thanks a lot guys!

Two things..

Quick Battery Drain/Death

Hello all,
I am having issues of late with battery "drain" for lack of better terms. I have attached a battery log I installed after the 3rd time this happened.
The battery is going from a large amount (most times) to dead in the space of minutes.
Wednesday 9/20 - somewhere around 8:15 it was at 50%.
At 8:50 the phone died.
9/20 again 10:25 pm - 13 %.... at 10:30 the phone was dead (no use)
9/21 around 5 pm it was 60% ten minutes later dead.
It did it again tonight. After the 9/21 discharge I installed a battery logger to see what was going on.
At 9:55:34 it was 47% at 9:55:50 (less then 20 MILLIseconds later) it was at 14%....
I have had battery drain before with programs and services in use, but nothing like this. I don't understand it... this is different. This seems to be something else. Nothing has changed. No new installs. Nothing seems to be using the battery more often. And even if it did, from 47 to 14? That's drastic.
Any ideas? From what I've searched I'm not seeing this type of drain. Just usuage drain.

What more needs expanding about that post? Your battery is at the end of it's life, it's done, get a new one
Don't be stupid, dude. That's impossible, because the S7 has more or less 1 year of life. But that's strange to see a decrease of 40% in 10 minutes.
Probably the battery is defective, not exhausted.

I've had the phone since April 2016 so it could be reaching its life (which would be annoying since they do 2 year leases. Lol)

But our battery lasts many year, depends on your use. If you Quick Charge 2-3 times a day, it's normal.

Sometimes more. And about 75 percent is quick. The other is wireless, but slow non samsung wireless charger.
I kind of figured it was a battery corruption or doa issue. But wanted a second opinion before I turned it in adapter. don't want to get dinged for it.
A nicer responce at first would have been nice tho. Thank you to Syntex for your responses. They are turly appricated.

Defective / exhausted = End of Life
Both mean the same thing, OP needs a new battery, fairly obvious

Probably you don't catcg the problem. He could have a free battery from Samsung If it'll be defective.

Makes no difference where he gets a new battery from, the fact of the matter is the battery is EOL, Dead, get over it

So your average is 7 hours 3 mins. Highest you have got is 11 hours? We need to see 17 hours. Because what your saying is predicted 17 hours...
