Galaxy S6 Battery Life Issue - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
When I first bought the Galaxy S6 I was so happy that I got a phone that will make me live my life, a phone that combines performance and battery together. I rooted my phone and flashed uncountable ROMS several times and also flashed kernels to get great performance and battery.. but it didn't work, I also used Greenify and Synapse. I disabled many apps I don't need, uninstalled a lot with no luck.
I can't even get 3 hours SOT... seen a lot of people with atleast 4 hours SOT.
So my question is, how to get the most out of my "beloved phone"?
Thanks..
EDIT: I had stock ROM and stock kernel running and disabled all the apps I don't use for like two weeks but the battery was worst than custom ROMS and kernels.

Is the phone constantly warm? What it shows on battery info about consumption?

It's warm but when on medium or heavy usage it becomes hot from the sides and a little bit the screen.

Lower brightness, start dark movie and you will make 4h SOT. In normal use with medium brightness you don't get 4H SOT.
S6 battery isn't excellent, just good (middle).
Before s6 I had mexus 4, battery life with my usage the same, one day without problems, second day 50/50.

Over the night is stills decreasing (and how much) or when you're not using it it's ok?

When I don't use it the battery decreases from 100 to 90 and sometimes to 80.

Put it in safe mode then tonight and check in the morning if any difference. If better then it's a 3rd party app. If it's the same then I'll go for a factory reset (with original firmwar) just to see if any differences

I solved it by tweaking it via Synapse, I applied a profile that contains amazing performance and battery life.

Horrible Battery even with Seidio Ext. Battery *ROOTED*

I know this is one of those things that everyone seems to complain about, but there is definitely something going on here. I have Seidios 3200 MAH extended battery for my ROOTED bolt, yet my friend running the same ROM as me is getting almost double the battery life with a stock battery. I know the first thing to check is if any apps are killing my battery, which I have checked through thoroughly with no luck. I have tried uninstalling these apps with no luck on better battery life. If it helps I'll post the apps I have
- Beautiful Widgets
- Brilliant Quotes Free
- Days left widget
- Draw Something Free
- Engadget
- Facebook
- iHeart Radio
- Instagram
- Twitter
- Yahoo Mail
- Ringdroid
- Root Explorer
- WeatherBug
- XDA
- Zedge
This of course doesnt include the stock apps on the ROM.
Currently running the Plan 9 ROM, if anybody has any tips for getting the battery up to par I would be very grateful!
EDIT: Forgot to mention how long my battery is lasting me. I'm getting about 8 hours before she is sucked dry
Plan 9? For the Thunderbolt?

Actually it's called "Plan .9" Its only been out for a few days and it's a very very minimal sense ROM. It's missing alot of the sense features as to make the battery better, some people are getting up to 3 days while on it. And the developer is very responsive so far with adding sense widgets and squashing bugs. here is the link...

Yea the Chinese are getting into making bogus crap and selling it in bulk to people on eBay and other places. My stepdad bought a bunch of bnib usb flash drives on eBay claiming to be 200gb and none of them worked. They were some of the best fakes I have ever seen. They were in packing identical to the actual product.

I bought my battery directly from Seidio, don't think its a Chinese scam. But Something is definitely eating my battery, although the battery usage is showing my display as the main culprit.

You're showing 5 hours and you are only at 56%. That would mean you have around 5 more hours. It looks like you made some serious phone calls which would eat up a lot of battery too. I don't know if you use auto brightness but it can help if you disable it and set it at the lowest possible setting you can stand. Another thing you might look into is the Facebook app. It was causing a wake lock on my phone so I removed it and that helped me a lot.

If its a sense rom, try imo 5.2 kernel for sense. Use setcpu for a screen off profile of 245/386. If its desensed alot, you can probably get away with underclocking it to 768. Brightness is huge batt hog, set as low as possible. I have as few things syncing as possible also. Interesting looking rom, i will try it out with my stock battery and let you know.

Ok, its loaded. Fastest booting rom ive had. I did try ziggys 11:05 kernel first, did not overclock, but did set screen off profile. This thing flys, and i havent played much with it yet. Ill let u know more tomorrow.

the best battery life ive ever gotten was from the full blown MR4 rom with the stock MR4 kernel and the MR4 radio
people say that the MR4 Kernel slows the bandwidth down somehow and maybe it does but its awesome on battery life
Thats the thing, I only spent about 15 minutes total throughout the day on the phone so it seems like its eating much more battery than usual. Maybe I'll try a new kernel and see how that pans out.

do you have a link for the imo 5.2 kernel?
Edit: Nevermind I found it -- http://rootzwiki.com/topic/603-kernel-gb-sense-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-620-5612/ . Trying out the settings you reccomended now, I'll get back with the results after a charge up!
Im at 40% after 9 hours, 56% display, 17% phone calls, other assorted. Stock battery. All in all, id say not to bad.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
wonder why mine is that much less... who knows anymore haha
Id guess its your widgets, im completly stock besides ziggys kernel. Tomorrow ill try the imo kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I'd try to turn off widgets, but also turn off all background running apps.
Seal is a good program to keep apps from turning on imo. I use it to limit usage - on most Roms I get almost 30 hrs of battery life. (Extended battery).
Good trick - overnight I use Airplane Mode and my battery drops at most 5% for 10 hrs.

Battery life after root

So I rooted and have synergy 1.7 flashed and I notice battery life is not even close to as good as stock. Watching the battery bar drop reminds me of my galaxy nexus. Is it the Rom or what?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
it's not the rom. I've been unplugged for 6.5 hours, with pod casts playing constantly some texts and internet and have 86% left. Try wiping all data, cache, dalvik and put it through a full battery cycle, let it die and charge it 100%, it will get better
Yeah I wiped cache and data slowed way down all better now

Yeah I've been wondering about battery life after installing a custom rom. I had a nexus as well before an using roms just killed my battery. Only time I got decent battery life was on stock roms. I've been hesitant on flashing a custom rom for this reason.

In my opinion bars from right chart are not corresponding to % used on a left side.
For example Screen On reflects that it was On almost all the time but Screen % is only 27.
Plus not sure why do you have black gap in a middle of a graph.
I tried cleanRom and my battery life is normal again. The black gap is hotboot under the restart menu

Synergy 1.7 has been known to have battery issues. Its being looked into
Ok so yesterday I was getting great battery life flash new version of clean Rom this morning it's not as good and there where no performance tweaks to the new version. It seems that first battery cycle after flashing new Rom is always lower. Is that normal?

You are using the hell out of it and on 4G, that is normal.
I had wacky battery life on CM10 until I charged it, powered it off, and removed the battery for 10 secs, then inserted and booted up.
Something about calibration?

I am on v1.7 and the thing that helped me get more battery life out of this version of the ROM was to turn off Google NOW. I did this by hitting the mic in the google search bar, go into Setting and turn off google now. Incidentally the voice search functionality still works; when I try something like "What year was Albert Einstein born?", the robotic voice gives me the right answer. lol. Right now I don't have a need for the cards.
I loved Synergy, but the battery ran out much quicker than I would want it to. CleanROM was the best ICS rom for me, battery wise. I'm currently on the official CM10 nightlies and I get decent battery out of it as well.
it's because of spywares exist in custom kernel wich run background all time and use data without permission
If you use your phone on nonstop it drains quickly. I would live to tweak my phone to try to get over 5 hours screen on time. 3.5 hours and higher is good from my experience.
Battery
Mine is about the same, Stock and Rooted. Running great though and more smoothly than Stock on Clean Rom 1.3

Dude go to some research. You have no idea what you are talking about. The Kernals are stripped down for performance and exclude the "spywares" go use your internets to research before you start making these claims.

Post Your Battery Usage here

Hey Guys! Post your Battery usage here! Lets see some stats... Specify if you have SM-900 or 9005 also. If it's first cycle, say so too...
Cheers!
- SM-900 (Exynos)
- Phone is Rooted
- Greenified all apps except WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Twitter
- I got my 2 emails syncing automatically
- And of course the above apps running in background the entire time!
- Disabled many bloat, including Maps (I almost never use it)
- Google Now also turned off. Brightness set to Auto '0'
Here are my own stats!

It shouldn't matter too much, li-ion or li-poly batteries don't have a memory, or shouldn't... I usually run it dead then charge to 100% the first few times ( no top offs) of course with my iPhone that's like 2 or 3 hrs

G Flex 2 battery life discussion

Lets talk about battery life.
I for one am getting terrible battery life. I use the at&t variant 100% stock and unrooted, I get maybe 8 hours of use with 2 hours of screen on time if I'm lucky. I only have a few apps like Facebook , clash of clans, imdb and a weather app that has sync turned off. Maybe someone can provide some suggestions for me to try and track down my issue.

I do not have this phone myself, but I am thinking of buying it. Your best bet would be to root and debloat any unnecessary ATT software. I had the first flex and ATT had so many preinstalled apps. Second, would be to use a cpu control and change the frequencies or the governer. These are probably your only options until At&t decides to release 5.1

Jeez,thats terrible! I have EU H955 version, 5.1.1, and i am always getting around 4h SOT. Never below 3,5 hrs, sometimes 4,5.
At first time battery life was extremely bad. What I did: I rooted, debloated using Titanium, then Greenify in root mode. There is one process named LG MLT that drains battery quickly, you should hibernate that one specially. Now phone runs cool and battery last much longer.
I noticed a big change when i changed the way the phone uses positioning service to only use gps instead of also using wifi and celluar network.
I'm getting around 3 hours screen on time, and even managed to play a little hearthstone (this game drains battery like hell)
All of this with the new 5.1 update
Wanna like this phone, but battery is concerning. My huawei mate 7 would still have 60% around this time Of day. I'm at 38% now with still 2 hours to go...

What about SoT? I can buy G3 32gb for 330e or this for 365e, but I read a lot about bad battery life, even worts that G3, and a lot of other bugs and heat problems, are they fixed with 5.1 and is battery better with 5.1, some ss? Thanks, anyone can answer.
The battery life on mine was a little better b4 the update. I used to get almost 2 full days with light to moderate use. I posted screenshots a while ago somewhere here. It's slightly worse after I updated to 5.1.1 but still can get a whole 24 - 30 hrs no problem. I'm on Sprint though.
Yah i just upgraded to 5.1.1 (available since yesterday for me) and the battery life is way better. I do to have auto-sync turned off though. Been using for 12 hours so far and still at 70% 1.5 SOT so far played a game as well.

Just disabled mlt. Hopefully that helps with battery life.
I am getting 2 days of use, with probable only like 3 hours of SOT. For me, more than acceptable, but I have noticed, BT kills this thing. If I stream in the car, forget it, it won't last half a day. Even when idle, if BT is on it's a drain.
I can't find it, where's it located

Saw where Samsung sized the 1080p 60fps stutter

Patch didn't fix the 60fps stutter.

I assume this too will break tethering. I still haven't updated from the original software.

Same, can someone check if APNs are editable?
They are definitely greyed out.
Anybody have a change log for this update. This phone still is a piece of ****. Battery life still sucks with this update. I took it off the wireless charger and checked my emails for less than 2 minutes and battery dropped 2% on a fully charged battery. My phone is still very slow and laggy and it locks up as well lots of the time. I dont play games on it and I dont watch movies or stream to my phone or from my phone. This has to be the worst phone I have ever had...........

sounds like your phone. ends a reset or needs to be replaced. I don't have any of those issues. my battery drops to 98% quickly if I take it off the charger in the morning after being on all night. if I charge to 100 and take it off once it tells me it's full, it doesn't drop that 2% so quick which leads me to believe the battery trickle charges once it hits full. my phone doesn't lag either and I average about 6 hours screen on time everyday.

I don't have any of those issues. This is by far one of if not the best Android phones I've ever owned. And I've had hundreds of them. Sounds like you can't handle the power of this device. Maybe try an iPhone? Lol jk

For me, it's very similar or a bit better than PE1.

It is not just their phone, mine is doing exactly the same thing. It will NOT charge to 100% and only gets to 97% then actually discharges while on the charger. This is coupled along with being overall a laggy experience with frequent lockups and app crashing. This is worse that the S6 and that phone was terrible as well.
