I'm having problems with my battery life and I'm not sure how to fix it. It was at 100% when I unplugged it at 1am and I went back to sleep without using my phone at all. Woke up at 9:30 am and my phone was at 53%.

The battery life of my galaxy S6 Edge + is horrible compared to any other phone that I've e ever had. But I did read the reviews before I bought it and bought it anyways. With the color so vivid and awesome, what could you expect though. I'll take a sucky battery in order to have an awesome phone. Love my phone. Just gotta remember to being the charger or battery pack.

Hey guys. There are a lot of different thoughts on this battery life. Pls check into the package disabler app combined with other tweaks. There have been a lot of thoughts on this. There is a whole article about the first 10% of battery decreasing quickly. My battery has its best success after I'm down under 80%.. keep in mind all devices are different. But after some things I have been doing with tweaks I have seen some ok results. Over 5 hours on screen time. Face it you will not be able to do much until root is achieved. Just have to be patient.

Just picked up one of these puppies yesterday, I am not real excited about the battery life. My first 100% charge dropped 3% within 5 minutes , I got 3 hours of screen on time. I optimize my devices for best performance, by disabling and uninstalling any bloat, unused apps, and I run real lean on apps. I'm coming from an LG g3, which is so far, does much better in this department

Ok, after several charge cycles, I get 5 hours of screen on time while streaming spotify from bluetooth on Wi-Fi all day, I also use "ok Google" from any screen , which is used to be a battery hog, Unless they fix that. 15-20 hours total on battery. I can definitely live with that, especially with how quickly this thing charges. It does definitely dream from the top much quicker, I went from 100% to 99% just by turning it on lol

Wow really? How long have you had it? Maybe bc I keep my screen brightness down so low. I'm coming from a g3 , so 10% brightness on this phone is about 50% on g3, and that's what I was used to. So I keep my screen way down.

Hm that's most likely my issue. I keep it on auto brightness! I'm used to auto adjusting screen settings, compared to my Z1s, this phone doesn't keep it at the minimum brightness that's perfect for conditions like my z1s did. So basically this phone is probably running at a little higher than it could be to save battery life. Though even on low brightness, my battery life is still about the same, had phone since September

Yeah i think so, that's not bad but not that great, compared to what other users are "supposedly" getting at like 5+, I get around the same sot as you. Disappointing when you think about the price point of this device. Phone should've just been thicker to get rid of camera hump (my biggest fear when the phone has no case) and increase battery size.
