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.

thanks for the tweak will report it back
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.

Hello guys,
I have a problem with my new Galaxy S7. The battery is draining way too fast.. I'm constantly getting around 2 hours of SOT a day and the battery lasts about 12 hours... I'm desperate... I have tried everything from turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, uninstalling apps to even factory resetting the phone. The problem is still there.. Please help me
BTW, my battery level is dropping 1% every 2-3 minutes

So after resetting it and without installing any app you still have 4-5% battery drain per hour on standby ?

No, I have 1% drain every 2 minutes when using the phone on light tasks( Internet, messaging, Facebook and email). Little to no battery drain is visible when not using the phone. But I can'tell get more than two hours of SOT on a full charge

I'll suggest you do something that worked for me, charge your phone to 100% and then restart it. Idk if it will work for you but tell me if you see any difference.

Facebook app is draining battery like that for me at the moment.
Uninstalled Facebook and it's still there... Nothing funky in battery stats apart from high usage on Android System
Update: just done another factory reset, the problem still persists

That's weird, try disabling everything you don't need like Bluetooth, NFC if you haven't already. Turn screen brightness lower, disable fast charging and "nearby device scanning", optimize the apps in settings/battery. Then do a restart and see if it makes any difference.
Hi mate,
I was in the same boat on Monday with a faulty device that overheating and kept freezing.
What I found was I had a weird bug, and 'Mediaserver' was constantly the biggest battery drain.
So saying that, when you go to your battery stats, what is your phone telling you is the main culprit?
Try this: charge your device to 100% restart it and then unplug the charger.

Hello,
The main battery consumer when looking at the battery stats is Android System.
Take a look at this
After a couple days of owning the S7, I checked battery usage of apps
OM Customise = 10%
KNOX = 10%
I've installed Package Disabler Pro, and disabled both the above, charging the phone now and will see if it makes any difference
If the above is true, that should give me 20% back by the end of the day

About 30 mins
I'm seeing about 15-20% battery drain overnight, something which I have not seen since the pre-Marshmallow days. Is anyone having issues with battery drain overnight?
Nope, no issues with mine. Do you have a lot of protected apps?
may be using background data like whatsapp/facebook
No issues here - normally i charge overnight, the one night, i didn't, it lost almost nothing (at most 3%, i'm not sure...)
There's an app that runs in the background
I only have a handful of protected apps, and even for those I made them subject to optimization (Doze). It's very strange, but since I'm the only one that seems to have the issue I'll have to do some more digging. Thanks everyone!
I have the same problem. Battery drain the night. I sleep 6 hours and lost 20%. I instaled xposed, greenify and amplify but it was ineficient.
Have you K9 mail installed ? I had this issue using it, after uninstall, issue solved.
I have the battery draining issue under the night.
15-20% no whatsapp/facebook neither k9 mail installed.
Have turn off wifi and mobile data will see tomorrow if it improves.
Really big difference 4% under night with wifi and mobile data off. Have to find with app is eating the battery.
Probably,lot of protected apps...
Hi There, we recommend you check to see if any unused apps are still open on the device and to close out of them before going to sleep. You can also try turning off WiFi and Bluetooth if they are not being used while you are asleep. Another recommendation is to clear all your caches. These steps should help save on any unnecessary battery drainage. Thank you for your question! (NS)

Yes, since they can stay on background, unlike unprotected apps which get shutdown by EMUI when they are inactive for a while
i thinks its mainly beacuse of more cpu cores online while the device is in idle state.

Or maybe becasue some apps wake the cpu constantly so cpu (sleep)downtime is low.

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?
Sorry for my English.

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.

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.

To all suffering from the same, just change the battery and it will be fixed. The battery won't last for over a year if it's been through excessive and rough usage. So change it and enjoy it as good as new.

The App I Use Is Not In Play Store Anymore, But There Is Another App Called "Service Disabler", But I Warn You, Back Up Device, But Mainly App Data Is The Only Thing You Need To Back Up In Case Bootloop.
Do Not Disable "Power Genius" It Helps Close Background Prcesses
DO NOT DISABLE "com.huawei.securitymgr" OR ELSE YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP
DO NOT DISABLE "Fused Location" OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP
You Can Disable "imonitor" And Other Services To Save Battery
I Think Thats All Garenteed You Could Save Battery
Actually, the best way to check your device battery is by using an app from Play Store, 'AccuBattery'. After a couple of charging and discharging cycles, it will tell you your battery's current capacity. Mine went down to 1300 mAH only. Replaced the battery and now the capacity is correctly reported as 2973 mAH (pretty close to 3000 mAH).
