Resetting affect battery? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does factory resetting a few times affect battery?
Does software reinstalls affect battery?

If you update your S6 with OTA and the update is large( from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 for example) battery drain quicker.
I installed android 6.0 OTA on my S6 and battery give me 3.15 SOT with a good wipe 4.30 SOT.
So yes

I've just reset mine a lot of times as i have issues with the battery, and it sometimes gets worse after a reflash. Just wondering if it affects it in a bad way?

I've just reset the phone, so I have no screenshots to show at the moment. I'm just leaving it idling, and seeing how much a 1% lasts with no apps, and Google and that disabled. I will post that in a bit

Screen-on time with CM10

Hey guys,
Was wondering if you could share some screen-on time screenshots of your One X on CM10. I have one coming in the mail and am getting a little anxious regarding the battery life.
Would prefer screenshots of normal use please!
Thanks in advance

With the stock ROM I was only getting 8-10 hours of battery life.
I switched to CM 10 and ever since my battery life has gotten MUCH better. On average now I can get 16+ hours out of my phone.

Thanks for the reply guys, could you click on the screen (in that screenshot you posted) to show me the screen-on times?
all these screen shots are useless. I can get 3 days idling.
This was my best screen on time over last weekend.

No, I have only been running CM10 for less than a week.
The big difference for that day was that I wasn't using Play Music to stream for an hour or more a day, and I have cut out almost all background syncs - only fb and K9 mail with one Gmail account.
Normally I get a little over 2:00 screen on time. That was just a good day.

[Q] Battery discharging by 2%

I don't know if it is a problem with my battery, or my phone, or even the ROM but whenever my phone is discharging it discharges by 2%. I just changed the battery to an Anker 1900mAh battery (brand new from Amazon). I've been using AlbinoMan887's ROM and I have done everything from discharging the battery and recharging it, wiping it full and even reseating the battery. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

This is almost normal usage. This shouldn't be normal on a brand new battery! (Sorry that one of the screenshots was in Spanish. Let my parents borrow my phone.)

I'm going to try out some other ROMs, good looking out. My stock battery is shot. It does the exact same thing. That's why I thought I needed a new battery.

The option does seem to be missing from the Wallpaper menu. I just set one that I downloaded from the Play Store though and it works fine. Just have to open the app after you download it and set it from there.
I couldn't wait lol, my phone is so much snappier now ??

Do u have any kind of Bluetooth problems after u reboot the phone. ?
Installed Nougat 7.0 with Odin after download through SAMFIRM. No problem whatsoever encountered yet, everything works flawlessly. Phone seems little faster. After 4 hours of use also battery use seems little better compared to MM.

No, everything's working fine. I didn't fresh install. But I did have some battery issues. Device idle and cell stand by are the main battery drainer.

Maybe you already know, but I wanted to mention in case you didn't. After months of looking into cell standby battery drain, the ONLY way I can minimize it down to basically nothing is to be in airplane mode and using wifi/wifi calling. Sad to see that cell standby drain is still an issue with 7.0 though.
Thanks for the info, I've tried mostly everything but I still couldn't fix the issue.... As of right now I'm on 25% with device idle by being 8% drained about 225 mAh and cell standby being 5% drained 149 mAh.
It might be that I didn't do a fresh install... Since I haven't heard anyone having issues with battery. So I might factory reset in a bit.
