I have been trying different watch faces on my Gear S. I am still not sure how each one impacts overall battery life. Has anyone done some experiments to measure differences in battery life based on the type of watch face that is being used?
stock watch versus watcher...around 30% better for stock. stock..simple (black digital)...around 40%... my finding. i keep the black-gold analogic stock usually, and black digital (simple or with weather) when i want a battery stretch.
I was worried that the custom Watch Styler face I had made would take up battery more quickly, as it seemed to on the Gear 2, but it did not seem to affect it at all. First day I ended day at over 60% still.

Ive been using the colourful and somewhat "applesque" Curlball Infinity watch face for the last few days - including "always on" it doesn't seem to have impacted on battery life too much - still 59% maybe 9 hours since breakfast

Hello guys, I'm trying to figure our how much my battery can last on one charge, but I'm having a problem in the
Settings> battery,
Where it is supposed to show the usage.
Every time I charge the phone and plug it out, the graph doesn't reset back to 0 hours and just keeps on adding on the total time the phone is on. You can see in the graph the battery percentage keeps going up and down, I can't get it to reset on every time I unplug it from the charger, even by pressing refresh.
Is this a bug for me or is there a proper way to do it?

Hard to evaluate first part because only you know how intensive you use it. However, the bolded part concerns me. Could be a dud? Mine definitely gets warm especially here (check my location) but not hot by any means. Btw, do you have Infrared Thermometer by any chance?
Battery report only resets when your battery reach 90%+ and you unplug it
Hello, 3 days ago I've installed CM10.1 nightly build from 2013-07-25 on my friend's Galaxy S III (international), now his battery life is really bad and he's complaining on me, any way I can improve the battery life?
Here goes a screenshot (as you can see, he wasn't even using the phone when the battery just dropped 50%):

Cyanogen mod roms are known to drain battery much faster than touchwiz.so you cant really expect the battery life to be the same as on stock or stock based roms. you may improve the battery life by using an app called Greenify. it hibernates apps so that they will not run in the backround. this can help considerably. also make sure to turn off gps , bluetooth, wifi. and mobile data when not in use.
well first tell your "friend" that thats how things are in AOSPs. Secondly use differrent kernels and proper setting to get max battery (tutorials are available) plus greenify apps you do not use. And the usual killers as GPS/WiFi/NFC/3G use only when needed or turn them off..
Something is extremely wrong there. Get a normal usage BBS dump and post it here. Also take screenshots of the BBS pages.
Also post a screenshot of your battery stats page (one that shows which apps drain battery).
Hello , i'm on an investigation why did my phone died last night. Basically i left it on 33% and in the morning the phone was completely dead! Usually it never took more than 15% overnight. I was unable to determinate the problem via BBS because as you may know BBS doesn't really work on 4.4 Kitkat (even if set as system app). The only thing i can show you is the build-in battery monitor graph. See the red section - no screen times , no waking , no GPS , no Wi-Fi but the graph is still going down. I always keep an eye on my battery stats and overal phone health but this is the first time i'm experiencing such issue.

That graph is essentially useless/tells us nothing whatsoever. I'd be replacing the battery (might want to do a clean install of JB stock first to make sure it isn't a KK rom problem).

That graph is basically all i have without BBS.
Yes, I know that. And as I've said, it's useless. What exact information are you expecting anyone else to glean from it that you haven't already done yourself (We're not mystics) ? It's a simple/basic graph, it provides simple/basic information, which won't answer your questions/give you info to enable you to solve your problem.
Stock kernel?Any undervolting?Maybe it freezed and that drained your battery.
Hello guys, i recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge and I'm like at about 3rd charge. I've unplugged the charger at 100% (after all night charge), I got 95% left after 19min (on screen time) browsing the Internet on Wi-Fi. What to do?
That seems normal to me. The battery life on the S6E is pretty poor compared to other phones I've had. The Marshmallow update has made it a little better but it's still not amazing.
its not normal ,,, get rooted and save battery

I have had my S6E for about a week now and I've also noticed that the battery drops fast.
What benefits to battery life is root going to give me, I have no incentive to root anymore.
I've rooted every device I have owned and I come from Android 2.1, so i am seasoned in root and the benefits that it used to pose.
Get rooted and save battery? I am rooted and haven't yet found a battery saving con, I mean app, that actually does anything. Even Greenify was greatly disappointing.
Having come from an Xperia Z1 it was quite a shock to see how bad the battery on the S6E is. I used the Z1 in exactly the same way as the S6E but the Z1 battery would last around 2 days. My S6E needs charging twice a day, minimum! Sony's Stamina mode needs porting lol
Hello,
I am using Nexus 6P with the unrooted N6F26Q build of Pure Nexus ROM. I have always had decent battery performance of this phone with my general usage. Recently I have moved to a new geographic location and I see a rapid battery drain while the phone in a particular building. I do not have cell phone network here, so I have AirPlane mode turned on, but I use WiFi for internet connectivity. My observations are as follows:
1. During the day time, when I am in building A, there is no battery drain. I don't use my phone much and the battery level does not drop by much.
2. During evening and night time, I am in building B, which has a different WiFi, the battery immediately starts to deplete rapidly and in the morning I wake up with a dead phone.
3. Suspecting that the WiFi might be the cause, I tried to switch WiFi off at night, but I still found my phone to be dead in the morning.
I captured the bug report data and tried to analyze it with battery historian, but I don't have enough experience to point out the cause.
This is what the battery historian graph looks like.

Same graph from another bug report, when the WiFi was turned off during the night:
Can someone see something unusual in the graphs?
I can share the entire bug report via PM if someone wants to take a closer look.
Thank you.
