I am really excited for upgrading my x play to marshmallow 6.0 from lollipop but after using it a while i am facing very less battery backup on marshmallow as compared to lollipop I merely get 3 hours of Screen On time and the battery last for 15-16 hours on normal usage.Is anyone else facing this problem !!
if you are rooted , try amplify and greenify, it helps a lot. you could also try to edit doze settings to make the device sleep faster than google intended.
mine Sot was reduced after MM, so i started tweaking doze and installed Greenify+Amlipfy. Now i get approx 50min-1hr SOT per 10%. i am not a heavy user, i do lots of browsing and whatsapp on data and i get around 6 hours SOT from 100-40%..never have drained the whole battery ..i guess it'll go beyond 10hour.[as battery saver kicks in at 15%].

Let the phone go through a few charging and discharging cycles to let phone stabilise.

disable auto sync from accounts settings and locations....limit background data for Google play services..see if it helps. don't root now first try the existing optimizations.

if you need good battery then you have to cut down core functions according to your use.
I need the phone for whatapp and browsing so I turned off pretty much everything else like app auto-update I don't need Google to search every 30min if a new version is available, turned off NFC when I am not using.
@Himalaya saxena are you on stock rom or which one ? Check battery usage in System / Battery menu and report it. If you want people trying to help you please be more accurate and provide some detailed information and evidence.

NFC only uses little power. I keep it on all the time and still manage to get 6-7 hours SOT for every full charge
bluetooth is using extremely small amount of battery, too
it has LE profiles, so no need to turn it off, if someone is wondering about that
It seems there are quite few people with battery issues around... My phone lasts around 16hrs too, with everything pretty much turned off and very moderate use. No games, no videos, no music, no Facebook, no IMs. Just some Chrome, phone calls etc. My 2 year old Nexus 5 would last just as much, which is kinda laughable, given battery, SoC and age difference...

by going into
settings > battery and then clicking the three dots on top right > battery optimisation
Check that are apps getting optimised.
Also one more thing, By going to
Security > apps with usage access (at bottom) > Turn off the usage access of the apps there (would be play store and play services)
Do click the three dots on top right and touch the show system and another app named "motocareint" would show up. Turn it's usage access off also.
After doing all this, charge your device to 100 percent and then use normally till it hits 10 percent. Then share your battery stats.

Here's another issue: Roughly one hour after unplugging, used it at home, within WiFi range. Only Chrome and Tapatalk, 45mins SOT. 9% battery missing, but only 3% showing up here.
Edit: With time, the gap between actual battery status, and per-app usage stats gets bigger and bigger. Here's @ 70%, with app usage only giving 19% altogether.

I was also using that battery saver but later found out that the battery saver itself was succking too much ram and battery. You better use only greenify and app cache cleaner. The battery drains a lot by using battery saver but after uninstalling it, I can feel the difference.
Actually, I mainly use that app to quit all the apps running in the background. Check its widget. You can place it on your homescreen and with one touch, all apps are closed

Yeah I am also talking about it. That widget itself sucks too much battery and drains battery. It takes almost 20 MB of ram even when we are not using it.
Yeah it does use a lot of RAM but it does more good than bad. I hope they release a more optimized version, that would be very good.
do try Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru (available on Play Store), seems to do the trick for me. This combined with STAMINA mode that Sony offers, I can sail through the day easily with enough battery left in the end.
I don't know why everyone complains so much about battery life. I get about 3-4 days out of a charge with medium usage. WTF is wrong with me?

I don't use a software that promises battery save, only the tools provided by Sony in power management.
Also, brightness is at 0% or at the worst auto-mode. I switched off all the bloatware by Sony + Google Chrome.
And last but not least, I do full charges and un-charges.

I didn't say I discharge it completely. In the previous screens, I was just outside the house, so I couldn't charge it at all.
Usually I do the charges below 10-15% depending on where I am.
But, yeah, Li-Ion batteries should be fully discharged at least once every 30 charges (give or take), based on what I have read here or in other forums.
Hi!
The past days, I also have the same problem as you guys have..But then, after I did this, my battery does not drain that much..
After 20hrs on Stamina Mode, about 2-3hrs 1-2hrs of gaming, 2-3hrs 1-2hrs of 3G surfing, and downloaded from google play about 150MB, i still have about 58% of battery life on my XL..i know that does not count that much, but it was really a lot compare to the recent days i am using it..
I don't have any installed apps to kill recent apps..i just swipe out the application on the App button( the one on the right side of the home button with two rectangle) and that's it! I even keep the running applications on the application setting to run on its own.. :victory:

battery life is not dependent on what you flash. there is no such thing as a magic pill to flash to automatically give you good battery life. battery life is dependent on how you personally use your phone, how you personally set up your phone, what apps you chose to install, and very much depending on the quality of your phone/data connection.
...you bought and manually installed a new battery on your recently bought N5 before finding out what apps were causing the drain? Yikes. But yeah try better battery stats or wakelock detector to see what apps are draining it.
Mine's been off the charger for 29 hours so far and I still have 37% left. Depends how you use it. A good signal helps.

your battery life seems pretty average, not bad and not great. youll get about 3.5 hours screen on time total. sure, you can play with your settings/set up some to try to get it a little better. but, depending on your data/phone connection(quality of), you might not get much better(or you can get it much better).
You can also try going into your location settings and ticking the "Battery saving" mode.
I can confirm that data/phone connection quality has a huge impact.
At work my office is on the second of five floors with its windows faced to a very narrow court. So there is almost no connection and often the phone is switching between 2G, 3G and 4G all the time. If additionally the screen is on very often (due to messages, mails, etc.) the battery usually doesn't last longer than 5 to 6 hours.

K...just for one day do the following. ....start at 100 percent too.
Turn off location services. Turn off Google now. In the Google settings app, go into android device manager and uncheck both items. Turn off sync. Uninstall or freeze Facebook app and fitness app your screen shot listed. Freeze Google plus as well, if you're rooted. If not....sign out of it, or turn its sync off at least. Use browser for Facebook and google plus for the day.
Don't play ANY games.
Also, see how your signal strength is. If you are losing signal completely ....that will destroy your battery.
Do these things and see how your battery is. If its much better, then you can try turning things back on....one thing per day. And when your battery gets bad again....you know its the last thing you turned on.
See how it goes.

I have no idea why google thought it was a good idea to make battery stats less accessible in kitkat and above, so it's hard to find what causes it. It's probably easiest to factory reset and start clean and then start adding a few apps at a time, to see if you have one misbehaving one
Thanks. I am able to see the apps and utilization using gsam battery app, but unable to look at which android system apps are draining/running, as per the picture.

The problem is that when app X hold a wakelock it doesn't show up under app X but under Android System!
I agree, battery life in general is a huge step back from the S5.

Factory reset then do these two. Also, disable T-Mobile bloat then use Greenify or Shut App.
I can get about a day and a half or two days battery with very minimal use. Don't expect to get more than 4 hours screen on time with this phone. Average is probably around 3.5-4.5 hours but you SHOULD get at least a full day's use with it.
Wifi calling pretty important for some of us
Hi guys I'm using s6 for few days ...battery drains too quickly. ..pls help me need help ...after one call or one song battery drains 2-3% ...I'm too upset pls temme what to do ...would be great if ul help
Hello xda community
Just bought this phone few days ago(brand new) and I'm experiencing bad battery life(at least for me).
So, I installed those apps: Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Sofascore, Deezer, Uber and of course GSam Battery. These are apps that i've always used and never had problems with them in a term of battery life.
First major problem is idle. So, what the hell, first night went to sleep with 100%, woke up 7 hours later with 80%, so I went into settings and disabled wifi always on and the other night it was better but still bad, went to sleep with 100 and woke up with 87%...
Second problem is SOT, I've been using phone for messaging mostly, some browsing and taking pictures and that's it, only on WIFI and NO GAMING at all and right now I have freaking 3 hours SOT and only 26% of juice left which is awful for me. I used to have that SOT with Galaxy S6 and that phone is known to have very very VERY bad battery life..Forget to mention: loacation off, data off, bluetooth off
Do you have some advice? What can be so power-thirsty on my device?
I will post screenshots with all my instaled apps and all the battery stats
.
In other terms this phone is a beast even in 2017. Performance is even better that on my dad's S7, camera is really good, I kinda like EMUI but battery is really starting to be a porblem for me so please help me if you can. Thank you very much.

Install BetterBatteryStats to know more what's eating your battery.
Update after 20 days of usage:
Most awsome thing is idle.. i turn on airplane mode when i go to sleep, wifi is on(but set to never stay active), and after 8 hours of sleepong, literally 0% of juice is used. Amazing. And through the day, when I have data turned on, i check my phone 2 hours later and maybe 1-2% is used :good:
SOT is always different, depends a lot(A LOT) on usage, from 2,5 (data on, bluetooth for headphones, camera,maybe location turned on sometimes etc) to 5 hours (wifi only, bluetooth location and data turned off). I think battery life is okay, what makes it great is that 20-30 minutes is enough to charge a lot of juice with quick charging

Sorry my post is confusing..
So, average 4 hours, but if I tend to use a phone heavily than not more than 2.5-3 hours. When I say heavily than I mean data on all the time, brightness above 60%, some bluetooth connection, lots of social media and browsing the internet.
When I'm at home, wifi on and data off, brightness 30% cca, I can get around 5 hours max.
Is that okay considering your sot?
The first sets of SoTs you posted are unusual. The last seems more on point, but a little low.
I average around 4-6 hours SoT which is average for the device except if you really crack down on all battery consuming apps and services.
4-5 hours for me consists of maybe 2 hours on mob.data and the rest on wifi, location on and a few minutes of gaming/maps/camera.(Brightness on auto, so pretty high most of the time)
If factory reset didn't help, you might want to try to manually update your system either via OTA or through some of the methods found in guides.
Generally I'd say something isn't quite right.
Though you might want to add your model number emui version

This one is a little older but i remember trying to simulate heavy use with this one, mob. data is on when wifi is off, it just doesn't show because of the skin.
I also have one with 6h and 17% left with mostly wifi so that's that

So here is my classic day. Awful battery life today..
At least in my opinion.
Unplugged at 10 AM, data on and wifi off, used basic apps like Whatsapp Instagram Chrome.. listening music with blietooth headphones for one hour apx. (Deezer-but offline!). Didn't really use my phone a lot today.
7 PM only 2 hours SOT with 35% juice left.. like I said, barely 2,5 hours of SOT I can get with data on..
I uploaded screenshots of my battery life, my EMUI version and all my apps installed.
Can someone figure out why my battery lofe is so awful..
Can't install betterbatterystats cause I don't wanna root my phone yet.

So here is my classic day. Awful battery life today..
At least in my opinion.
Unplugged at 10 AM, data on and wifi off, used basic apps like Whatsapp Instagram Chrome.. listening music with blietooth headphones for one hour apx. (Deezer-but offline!). Didn't really use my phone a lot today.
7 PM only 2 hours SOT with 35% juice left.. like I said, barely 2,5 hours of SOT I can get with data on..
I uploaded screenshots of my battery life, my EMUI version and all my apps installed.
Can someone figure out why my battery lofe is so awful..
Can't install betterbatterystats cause I don't wanna root my phone yet.
Thanks for advices.

There is none bro...
So I've been using the Rog 5 for a week or so. I've noticed that ANDROID SYSTEM has a massive battery drain.
No matter which apps I use, wether it's YouTube, Chrome, WhatsApp or any gaming app, Android System always had a massive battery drain. This can't be normal can it?
I installed Better Battery Stats & Gsam Battery Monitor and found that Android System has got many Wakelocks too. I've attached screenshots for this, if anyone could help resolve these Wakelocks that would be amazing. Also if anyone could help to lower the Android System battery drain please.
On the better battery stats you will notice over 500 Wakelocks in 9 Hours ! Over 3 days that number is over 2000 Wakelocks
On my first full charge i have 6hrs screen on time and 40% left still cycling the battery for maximum performance. It would be interesting to see what apps can be disabled safely and any other battery saving tips people have here.

Although that's decent battery life, it CAN and SHOULD be better. I'm using greenify too btw
Not many with the phone yet lol lets wait and see i got almost 9hrs screen on time first charge.
I tested by watching youtube videos with bluetooth connected sometimes and this was my screen on time
i had 8.30h of screen time with the huawei p30 pro 4200mah battery, a little disappointing for a 6000mah battery

That's not bad bud, although android system is definitely draining battery judging by many screenshots

Only 8 hours???? I got 11 hours with mixed usage, mainly on WiFi, over 2 days, with 9% left. No Bluetooth usage tho. Your battery is concerning

That's a good result for the p30. I get around 10 hours on my p40 pro plus. The rog 5 has issues

Dont know whether this is happening only for me. I also tried manual battery calibration by draining the battery and charging till 100 after that i even deleted batterystats.bin file manually. Still 8 or 9 hours max.
Should i change to any other modes in specific? Like i am currently in dynamic mode. Should i tweak into advanced and reduce anything? Or you guys are having a sot of 11 hours in dynamic mode only?

Where's this battery.bin file ? From YouTube you should get way more SOT. Look on gsmarena, YouTube test is north of 13 hours
I use dynamic, auto Refresh rate, GPS, Bluetooth, auto brightness all OFF unless I need them. I use durable mode from 20%
Battery stats.bin file will be in root/system folder.

How do I access the root folder?
Also in location settings make sure you have WiFi scannibg off (it will say 'search for WiFi networks, even when WiFi is turned off') you'll find that in location menu. And if you go to developer options you'll come across something which says "Mobile data always active" turn that off too as it wastes battery for no reason.
Last but not least, go to Zentalk forum, Google it, it's Asus help forum and create a thread on there explaining you have high battery drain from Android System. They will fix it if we all report it
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my my phone. With Root explorer or any other explorer with root permission you can access the folder.
I will disable that mobile data in developer options.
Thank you
I fully charged to 100% left overnight unplugged network standby took 2.5% and Android system was 0.2% and lost all together a total of 3% battery overnight. I think it needs to sleep better than that.
I updated to latest ww global firmware but mine is tincent version if i factory reset will it still stay on ww firmware? i think i need to do a reset. Also how do you do a hard reset via recovery on this is it safe?

It should lose 0% overnight. Android system is the culprit. No you won't lose WW after hard reset and regarding factory reset, I did it through settings as don't know how to enter recovery
Well unless someone reports it they wont fix it so best people report in as stated above ASAP.

I've already done it. I urge everyone else here too, go to Zentalk and create a thread about rog 5 battery drain and any other tissues you might have. I've mentioned battery life, volte not working and I've asked for a option for 90hz refresh rate.
