[Q] Battery went from 93% to 21% in just over an hour

I was getting for work this morning and my battery started at like 93%, and when I got to work, I noticed it was at 21%. What could have happened? I'm using my OEM battery and charger. I didn't do anything differently with it today than normal.

Seems like one of the app is trying to use wifi with GPS or possible it failed to switch to 4g. I would manually disable wifi and GPS, then recharge the phone and see if the issue went away. If it is then the next step is to identify the root cause.

I noticed that your battery levels off. Does it actually die within say 4 hours, or can you go the whole day? I had an issue where mine would level off round 20% and I could go on for a few hours longer.... ended up reflashing my ROM, clearing caches to fix it.

Sounds like mine on another kernel I had. Thing would literally die within hours. Do you have wifi and gps on at all times?

It had Wifi on always, and GPS some of the time.
Doesn't matter much now though; I got a new phone. That was the only time it happened though. Very odd.

It is known culprit of battery drainer, I guess you have to live with it until you buy another device with a bigger battery

I tried a lot of ROM, but none have a battery life equivalent to 12.1 CM CAF (perhaps due to the kernel caf)

gap between frame and body of my galaxy s6 at the lower right corner

Hi, I noticed that there's a gap between frame and body of my galaxy s6 at the lower right corner, it's about one millimeter or maybe less, is it normal or not ?

Hmm.. maybe it's just effect from the glass. When i look at mine on an angle looks like there is small gap, fut from another angle looks just perfectly fine.

Then go ask for refund or new device. It's not normal to have gap.

There should be no gaps between the frame and screen.. You should return it to place of purchase or warranty claim it they Samsung.

The gap is subtle, It's only visible under light ... I took it to warranty and they didn't accept to swap it, I still think that it's normal ...

Maybe you should remove your phone case and look again?
Seems to me the gap you speak of is between the phone case and the screen, not between the frame and the screen...

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.

My T-Mobe. Purchased Mirror Grey GM1915 does not have the IMEI number on the back of it.

I can confirm my mirror gray TMobile variant has it on the back as well. I just put a skin on it so it is not visible.

Yes, but I removed that when I got mine. The sticker is a white sticker that comes off easily enough. The sticker is not meant to be left on the device.

That was my thought as well. What is pictured does not look removable, which is not how mine came.

Kind of odd that some have and some don't. I always thought that it was not good to share that number
