Battery life very poor in nougat - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

battery life is very poor in the latest nougat update.. when the screen is on my battery percentage fell form 60% to 50% in just fifteen minutes... all i was doing was chatting and listening to some songs.... is it just me or the battery life is really this poor?
any way around?

factory reset your device. should sort it

Having the same problem. Latest XEF.
Factory restore did nothing to help.

Try German dbt firmware, users have reported good battery life on this version of firmware

At least I have pretty good results with nougat m .imgur. com/M5NpRFB m .imgur. com/ra2NRrE (delete space)

your phones battery drops very slowly when it's ideal...
mine falls like 1% every 15 mins when it's not in use... don't ask me what happens overnight..it's like 12-15%.

Im using 4.3 and battery is good,
airplane mode uses a max of 1% overnight , have just put it on charge after 1 day 17 hours of mixed use on wifi and 3G and the screen time was just over 9 hours. appears to be getting better all the time.

I can assure you, kitkat doesn't affect your battery consumption. There must be something else wrong, that you are suffering from battery drain.

Is Honor 8 nougat beta stable for daily use ?

Does it have a lot of bugs? How is the battery and etc?
For me, the battery life is crap, apart from that I'd say it's stable enough.

On marshmallow i get like 5 hours.

Had 5-6 on Marshmallow, on the Beta the battery is draining like crazy, usually have to charge twice a day with light usage. Factory reset didn't do nothing, same apps as before. Might do another factory reset or go back to Marshmallow after the holidays.

It depends on number of apps you install , number of apps running in background . Time u keep you data connection open . all above will drain it battery faster so use minimal except basic apps

Figured all that already...always close all apps when the screen is off, never connect to wifi or data while the screen is off, smart power plan, reduce resolution, disable bloatware i don't use etc..... for sure i can have my phone without charging for 3 days but what is the point is my screen on time is 4hrs or maybe less in Nougat is even worse imo.... Even after emptying the battery charge to 100% and recalibrating twice
Also something irrelevant i noticed after downgrading back using another region update.app is that the theme store have more themes now that before they weren't there

No power plans on Nougat. It's something like this, for performance you dont need to do anything.
The batttery saver is in Phone Manager, then you have the option to lower the resolution which i dont think it works because nothing changing when i turn it on and the Ultra saver.
I noticed more standby battery drain in EMUI5.0 (B320) than EMUI4.1. I believe Android OS uses more power than before (I don't remember how much it uses in 4.1, but it uses a lot in 5.0).

the smart power plan is missing though!!! which i find it important cause sometimes you don't need neither perfomance nor battery save

Changing the resolution won't change anything in view . but look here , in order to display a video with 1080p resolution you are using much CPU power where as when u watching the same video at 480p resolution , it requires much juice . only thing u miss is display quality which is negligible.
Wow battery drain is epic i turn everything off and went to sleep with 60% and i wake up with my phone dead..

Battery drain

Hello,
I don't know what can I do. I must charge the battery 2 times a day. With custom ROM and Kernel ,also in stock unrooted and with locked bootloader. It's not normal, I think. Has anyone the same Problem? Maybe the battery is damaged. What do you think?
I think it's damaged .The second charge today.
Mine is very similar. I think our batteries are gone. I am about to do a factory reset and reinstall my ROM to see if it makes any difference to battery load.

Did you try to go back to Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware .264? Works miracles for me... as I have >6h SoT (screen-on-time) on Lollipop, but <4h SoT on Marshmallow
/PS: In my use case anyway, yours might vary, yet I believe you'll see a longer lasting battery
Same problem for me until yesterday. After repair with Sony Bridge for Mac and installing only important apps it is ok.
I can not add screenshots. BetterBatteryStats says 2,8%/h. 73% Deep Sleep. Usage: 1d 5h 12 min. Now 15 % Battery remaining.

It seems that your phone is very activ in background. After resetting my phone the battery life is very good. I disable many background activities and install only important apps.
What is the name of your app in the screenshot?

I start from beginning and the what happens.
First try to see what apps run in the background, maybe there are some services draining your battery. Is Mobile Radio Active draining the battery? If not than 100% that your battery needs to be replaced.
Try Nova Battery Tester (look for apk) set to long test and see what capacity it measures.

thinking to switch from MM to LL also...there is noticable battery in favor LL.except that no difference between this to.... what version of LL rom do you use?
it seems after reset and deploat alot of Stuff from MM ROM the Battery lifetime is better.
Also tried the new Android 7.1.1 AOSP ROM, perfect the Lifetime. But the Camera is really bad.

Last version .264, here's my pre-rooted one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-xperia-z3-23-4-1-264-customized-t3259252

[Q] what can I do to improve my battery life? it sucks...

phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??
phone idle 4:11 hours
screen time 1:50 hours
36minutes of sniper 3d
7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)
I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!
phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)
not good at all, what could be the problem??
I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo, not even on 4k mod, 1080 as it was, brightness is always on 50%
what else can I do here?
I have constantly 8hr 30 min on wifi, 9 hr on non wifi, and 6-6.5 hrs on 4g+ using .75 debloated rom from the roms section I made myself

Mine with 4g always up to +6 hours screen on time if you use a debloated rom (remove extra apps=less app in background) phone idle not gonna drain your batter like that for me 6 hours of phone idle just use 3 persent with 4g on.

a havey debloated rom or stock rom with snappatch i mean,a normal stock with all apps are pre-installed size is 2.5gb and turbo debloated rom is just 1gb. This is rule less app in background =more battery.

I hear you but im talking about people who are using stock,
some people claim they get 6hrs+ of screen time and complain about it (which means they are used to even more!) and i still didnt even get to 3hrs screen time and im already 29%
my screen time is 2:56 sitting on 29%
this is not normal what so ever even concidering it being a stock rom.
any suggestions?

Sounds more laughable, maybe your battery is uncallibrated, or get damaged, charge your phone to 100% and update your rom to. 179 and format factory the phone, if this isn't fix your problem maybe your battery health isn't good, or you can unlock your phone and flash a custom rom.

I am now rooted but remained unrooted stock for months and had excellent battery. My AccuBattery stats (a good app you might want to install to tell you what's using your battery) have been similar before and after rooting and customizing. Avg battery use is less than 8% drain screen on and about 1.5% drain when off, or estimates of well over 12h screen on for a full charge cycle. Best battery I've ever had with an Android phone (notwithstanding other issues with this phone that I don't like).
However, if you're using a lot of the Sony bloatware like AVG, that's probably your first clue. Unless you really need a feature one of the apps provides, I'd stay away from them like the plague. You can still disable many of them without rooting, totally depends. Go to Apps, and show system and then see which ones you can disable, or at least force stop (which will likely start again on the next boot).
Also, battery calibration was debunked as pure myth by Google Android engineers themselves ages ago. It simply doesn't make a difference.
I was reading that it might also be your SD card?? I deleted Android apps from SD card right now and currently testing.

It just means that out of all the battery that was used up to that point 88% of the used miliamps went to the screen, which makes perfect sense since it's the heaviest battery user out of all the hardware bar the CPU.
You wouldn't want Android System to be using 88%, wouldn't you?

Ahh, yesterday It wasnt available for me yet. Today i could update It. For sure, they have changed the way the % of battery use is calculated.
Yes, less battery drain and I've noticed that the phone seems to be faster and smoother.
