Just like the title says, how's everyone's battery life, all i can say is mine is meh, not as good as i thought it could be, it's about the same or less than my previous phone surprisingly.
20 hours total, 3:15 screen on time with 25% battery left. My Xperia Z1s would've have gotten around the same maybe 4 hours at 25%

I'm only on my 3rd day with the phone, but the battery life yesterday really shocked me. I came from a water-damaged Xperia Z3v (thanks Sony), and I could easily get 2 days of use out of it. This phone appears to have similar battery life, but I spent most of the day on voice calls and only using it occasionally. Not a ton of heavy browsing in an airport, for instance. I was at home on WiFi all day.

I've been getting 20+ hours with around 5hr SOT these days. Left with ~20% battery.

WAT, is this through data or wifi only or combo of both? I have data on 70% of the day from 7am to about 4-5pm and so i get home with about 55% at 5pm with 1 hour and 30 min of SOT then once i get to 4% (at like 8pm) on wifi my SOT is 3 hours and 50 minutes to a little over 4 hours :(
my phone must be defective

Impossssibruuuu, my mom has the z3v and we took it to the pool and used it for 1 hour under water (of course taking it out every 1-3 minutes then dipping it back in) her phone still works fine, but i do have a question, did some of your google apps not work through data? I might have to factory reset hers to fix it (i've tried everything such as resetting google play services/framework etc) also i find the s6 edge+ battery not that great as it is about the same or worse than my Xperia Z1s i had on tmobile. Actually, my Z1s easily made it to 4 hours where my Edge + struggles and through the same combo of lte/wifi what I said in the post earlier
edit: just noticed your phone doesn't get a horrible google play services drain, my edge + does it's like 1st or 2nd on the list to cell standby (going to test out advanced calling on mobile data to see if that helps)

Google Play wasn't working on my Edge+ out of the box, I had to clear its data and begin again, then it worked properly. Might try that for any Google apps she's having trouble with.

14 hours with 40% left. Been flinging things at chrome cast for about 2 hours then about 4 hours of music via Bluetooth. After a normal work day.

It ain't bad.

When i first got mine battery was incredible. It seems like clean master suite of apps makes the battery a little slower but i think it makes up for it by closing apps on background even after you close then out. My battery started dieing quick when i had all the clean master apps running. Cm locker, phone boost, and regular clean master. I Uninstalled cm locker and phone boost but by just leaving the original app i just click the one-click standby, and hibernate to kill background apps draining battery without having all of the CM apps running all the time draining my battery the most.

I get close to 8 hours before it gets 25% but heavy use like navigation and Bluetooth/YouTube streaming simultaneous drains a little faster.

Like the phone dieing quicker in general since i first got the phone last month but i think the quick charge has slowed down sometimes. Im at 28% right now and it says approximately 1hr 53 minutes. When i first got it out would charge like 50% in 20 minutes and I'm using original charger and cable that came with phone.

I've noticed my charging wire is defective. I'm using a micro USB cable I had lying around of course still with the adaptive fast charging and now it always says fast charging when I connect it. @ 1 hour and 30 minutes or 20 minutes

I left my phone unplugged connected to Foxfi. So from 930 pm to 300 am I was at 29% left. If it was my M7 doing the same thing it would of died in 2 hrs flat. So compared to my old phone my edge+ does better and that what I like to see. Hate getting s phone where my old one battery last longer than my new one.

Plus with fast charging it doesn't take long to charge these phones. I can be at 75% when I go to lunch and when I charge it the phone will have a full charge way before I go back. Where as my M7 would take 3 hrs.
