I am using the phone since 2.5 years. Recently I have updated to 6.0 and the screen time I am getting is hardly 2.5 hours. Earlier I used to get atleast 3.5 hours. But the doze works perfectly fine, hardly 2-3% battery drain over 6-7 hours overnight. But when I start using the phone it starts draining rapidly. Does this means the battery is fine and replacement is not required. Some app might be causing the battery drain?
If your battery is faulty then you note huge battery drain overnight and abnormal behaviours (e.g. from 80% to 20% in 10 minutes and back to 78% after a reboot).

Thanks. That means my battery seems fine only. Will try a fresh install again.

Hello,
I am using XT-1032 for the last 20 days. Its running on Kitkat. I noticed last 3 days that the battery is draining fast. Previously after full charge I used to go to sleep and after 7 hours of sleep the battery remained 95%. But last 3 days the battery drops to 85% or 83% on idle. Is this normal or its draining too fast? please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Could be normal, could be not, it depends on your apps and wakelocks.
You can check in settings>battery if some app is using too much juice...
If you are rooted, you can install betterbatterystats to analyze your battery usage!

Have you used GPS at all. There is a bug which means 1.5% hr battery drain over and above normal after GPS is used. Intermittent problem though. Switch to battery saving location and reboot to fix it if that's your problem.
Most noticeable on airplane mode as usually hardly any drain happens until you hit this gps bug.
So I've had a S6 since about 2014/15, somewhere around there. I've had problems with battery for a long time, but now, my battery only lasts for about 5-6 hours of sleep, and maybe 45min of use. I factory reset my phone and my problem remains. I then downloaded accubattery and it says that my battery is 86% of stock capacity. Does anyone know what my problem is? Is the battery bad?

Sounds like you definitely need the battery replacing
You could try to calibrate the battery. Basicly tells the Phone when its properly charged and discharged.
Just Google Galaxy S6 battery calibration and the first answer is your manual.
Mine seems to be topping the list of battery drain
Further update ,is this normal phone idle useage
From the day one when I bought this phone, I had Battery drain and I've been using all tips and trick. mostly tweaking setting and surprisingly yesterday night I had 0% battery drain with turning off Wifi.

You have no cell signal?
Had cell signal all day
Don't get me wrong ,battery life is great so far today on 43% and had 3hrs 20 mins SOT,just strange to see phone idle at the top of the list
I'm having the same issue. Idle Phone drain definitely goes away when I turn on airplane mode but I haven't tried turning off WiFi yet. I transferred all of my settings and apps from a Pixel 2 XL that had no issues with power consumption.
99% after 8 hours idle overnight
stock ROM
unrooted
If I had to take a guess, some app is draining your battery.

I'm on stock 7.1 unrooted
Dispute this still getting great battery life with 5/6 hrs SOT
Is there any app that can help identify what is causing phone idle to drain the battery

Idle drain
A few days after upgrading to android 10, my battery life has literally been cut in half. What's weird is that the battery management in settings shows pretty normal drains, but when added up it's 43% drain but my battery is at like 20%. What could be causing this?
Edit: also worth noting that when I woke up this morning the phone felt hot to the touch, which it hadn't before

Mine was the same until a few reboots and seems fine now
Hi all,
My phone drained 14 percent battery yesterday while idle for 9 hours. The interesting thing is when i add the mAh usages that i see in battery and performance tab it only adds up to 6 percent battery usage. ( i calculated and confirmed with time that 40 mah is aproximately 1% battery)
Also this morning i am seeing an unusual drain as well while the screen is on, it drained 5% but it should have draned only 3% because it says it drained 138 mAh.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
This also happened 2 weeks ago and the only thing common both days were, i charged my phone slower (charged using usb on the car) instead of using fast charging.
I also leave the screen shots that shows the battery usage.
Put the phone into Airplane mode when idle: this may save some battery.

yes of course but the battery drain I explained sometimes happens I actually think its a battery indicator bug. Because it shouldn't be draining this much battery because it doesn't show any unusual drain on battery information screen contradicting the percentage lost (14% battery was drained but according to battery information screen it should be 6%)
