Unfortunately, especially after upgrading to Lollipop battery Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850F discharged very quickly and not know what to do :
I have:
1 ) disabled as much as possible ( when not in use ) and the BT GPS
2 ) tried to replace the original battery with a 2850mAh of ( so they say ) not original
3 ) tried to disable both S Voice that Google Now they say consume a lot
4 ) Reduced brightness and battery life activation screen in 15 sec .
The term does not arrive in the evening since it from the detachment at 8:30 in the morning, I get up at 17.30 scarce not use it to call , remaining in the wifi network but navigating virtually nothing .
I'm really confused and do not know what to do . If anyone has any advice and can help me or I know that sooner or later will change phone .
Thanks a lot

Ok, first you need to do a factory reset. Backup your data before doing it.

Try GREENIFY.
Root + Xposed Framework + Greenify + Amplify can help you save a lot of battery.
My phone is using original battery with 0.8%/h battery drain at night time with mobile data and wifi always on.

It's possible, you can install Xposed on stock Touchwiz ROM.

..yeah your battery's probably screwed. I'd suggest take a new one
3G can consume a lot of battery in low quality connections. Maybe it is your case.
Verify if it happens on a specific location or everywhere.
Also, configure network mode to WCDMA only. It avoids phone for checking which connection is better (3G or 2G). It drains battery faster,

How's handling the phone with one hand?
How does the factory reset work? You still go to recovery usual way -- Volume UP + Home + Power, or Volume UP + Home when it's re-starting? And then doing a factory reset from recovery? Is the recovery and download mode look all same on Galaxy S6 Edge, as they were on Galaxy S5. Please share a pic if you can. Thanks!

Thank you for your answer.
How about what you think of touchwiz? Is it still horrible or is Samsung finally understanding that people are not so much into useless gimmicks?
Which of the default stock apps can be removed and which can't?
Is the home button made of plastic or glass?

Hi My android os and android system has the same or even higher battery usage than screen, than something must be wrong. I'll try to give u guys as much info as I can. I included wakelock detecotr, gsm battery, stock battery monitor and betterbattery screenshots, also alarm dump. This info is from only 8 % of battery drain, and I had light set to 0%, and was on WiFi, when I'm using mobile data and little bit of higher brigtness it is much worse. I've done everything from this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Nothing helps. When using phone normally, browsing etc using mostly WiFi occasionally mobile data. And brigthness most of the time 0 to 7% and occasionaly 60 to 75 when outside. I have about 12 to 15 h with 3 to 3,5 SOT. I think I should squeeze little bit more, but I have no new ideas what I can do more, Can someone take a look on my info and maybe figure this out. Later I will post screenshot after more time on battery.

I am on official firmware update from OTA, if I flash the official firmware from sammobile, it's the same thing I doubt... I am in France, if I flash the firmware that come from other countries, I'm afraid it wouldn't run correctly and there's maybe some problems with the network.
Wi-fi location scanning
There are two possibilities for excessive battery consumption with wi-fi. If your phone is set to always scan, then this will still cause the battery to drain as the wi-fi is never really disabled.
Disable this function with 'Settings > Wi-fi > advanced > always keep wi-fi on > never' the advanced settings are under the little 3dot menu at the top right of the wi-fi settings screen.
The other option may be that Google's location services may be causing a drain by using wi-fi to geolocate you.
Try disabling location services for a day and see how it pans out for you.
If neither of these help then I'm all out.
Good luck

Is the battery thicker and do you need a different backcover to fit the battery?
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
The last 3 weeks we with @bonuzzz worked hard to make stable firmware for t820 and t825 tablets.
Finally, it's time for the first release.
Instructions
1. Install twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Work
Almost all working

Thank to my good friend @bonuzzz
Thanks to LineageOS team
Thank you so much
I hope the ROM is always better, as soon as I have some time I install it to report any bugs
Thank you very much!!!
I really dug the samsung apps for the s-pen. is there a way to install them after installing lineageOS? (sorry for the newbie-question)
Hi,
i've installed the ROM yesterday and i used it today in case of a working day.
I have noticed that he unfortunately does not switch to LTE - despite full receipt. The tablet uses at most HSDPA, which makes the ROM for me currently not really usable.
It is also a bit slower than the stock ROM, but tolerable - only the network connection is still a hindrance.
I bought the tab because I thought, as a flagship this device will surely get the lineage OS.
I am still very enthusiastic and really thankful that someone has made such a great ROM for this tablet- many many thanks to the devs!!!
regards
Ralf
Edit: after reinstalling this ROM is found the switch to change the preferred connection type to LTE. So i go on using it

For the 820 the GPS is not working.
Can we expect the same with this 825 version?
Thanks for your efforts!!
Ok so, I gave the rom a chance and to be honest it works quite well.
Kudos to Valera and Bonuzzz for the effort, this is looking very promising.
I don't use the S-Pen nor the phone-calling stuff so, my experience with this build doesn't include those two.
General usage feels snappy, I only had some trouble while playing video streams on the stock browser and firefox. The problem went away while using chrome.
Tried a couple of HDR 4K files on MX Player and they seemed to play nicely.
Played around with the settings, everything cool.
The only problem so far is a huge battery drain during normal usage.
Aside from that, this is an excellent beginning.
Considering this is just a 1st release, it's very stable.
If you need any kind of testing, I'm more than willing to help.

Thanks for the initial testing. I have not flashed this ROM yet. I'm still observing a bit before I do so.
I'm curious, how do you define normal usage? Also, are you able to quantify the huge battery drain?

Well, you should. At least it could give you a good idea of what to expect when the rom is ready.
I have never used lineage on a tablet so I wasn't sure what to expect.
For starters, normal use is just what you can imagine, youtube, chrome, mx player (hdr stuff), headphones, couple of silly games.
After checking how stable it was, tried Xposed -sucessfully- and every module worked fine (amplify, bootmanager, rootcloack, xnotify,youtube adaway). The drain is severe, you could literally notice the % going down ridiculously fast.
What's worst, my normal app usage and settings are designed to not duplicate what I can already do on my HTC 10.
So no GPS or Bluetooth, almost no applications doing sync stuff that I already have on my smartphone. (Gmail for e.g)
I always force wifi to sleep when display is off. Again, I don't need another device duplicating my smartphone.
LTE data is also off most of the time (and LTE works as expected per Speedtest -70 mbit-)
But again, settings are tweaked to maximize battery, while using it and while sleeping.
I have used BetterBatteryStats to take some measures, the drain is related to the core of the OS services.
A simple comparison with Stock. I just have started debloating touchwiz (very happy with the progress there too TBH), and barely scraching the surface of what can be done on stock, BBS is reporting 6.25 minutes per 1% of battery. Roughly 10 hours of battery of non stop use. After removing 85% of Samsung bloatware and its services, it's going to look even better. Samsung never ceases to amaze me with their never ending junk. So again, the rom is not ready for primetime. But that could change fast.
IMHO, you should install TWRP and do a backup of stock stuff and take a dive. Even if Lineage feels like android for smartphones, still works wonders. And you can go back to touchwiz in 3 minutes...
EDIT: Forgot to quantify the drain. The android energy forecast estimated 3-4 hours for a full charge. Closer to 3....
i wish there was developer who would give us debloated, tweaked stock rom .. i know this is not the right thread for making this post, but still

Wrong place to post as you already know, debloat the rom yourself.

Sorry Carlo, I was confused, mine is SM-T825N.
I got it wrong, when I took a look at your download mode pic it became clear.
I don't have the CROM service stuff.
Still, did you try to flash it with the FRP Lock off?

To disable FRP Lock, you have to enable OEM unlock in Developer options.
