I come from Note4, and before that HTC One M8, and compared to the different power save modes on those devices, my S6 Edge is really bad.
Sometimes the power saver mode even states a lower remaining time than without it. Ultra power saver mode extend it, but no where near as much as it did on the Note4.
Is this the case for the rest of you?
Thank you!

Yes, this is also the issues i want to ask about. Im using Galaxy S6 (Flat, not Edge) my batteries now on 51% it says if normal run out for 5 hours, when Power Saving it will run out for 5 hours (yes thats right, dont know where is the improvement), and if on ultra power saving will last for 11 hour...
I mean i saw many pictures of screenshots taken that the ultra power saving mode will take at least 24 hour if the battery is 10%, but why on my Galaxy S6 is very not significant amount added to my battery life? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Just curious, do the blue bars beneath the graph correlate with the time axis above it?
Would I be right in thinking that my battery life plummeted as soon as I turned off wifi?

Yes. Probably more likely to be related to screen on, and possibly mobile data. Depending on the brightness, it seems like 4-6 hours of screen on will eat the battery.
Yes it does correlate.
The thing is you just had WiFi on for some period, but you didn't do much in that specific time, it was just on. But just after you had turned it off some apps or processes kept running and you also used the device.
That graph looks pretty fine to me.

That's not true screen by itself will not eat battery so fast , review site did media playback test of SD material and battery lasted little over 9 hours.
Only combination of radio+CPU+display will get you 4 hour mark, that's worst case scenario.
Cool, thanks for the replies. Makes sense now
Hi im runnig stock and a few days ago i donwloaded the go launcher ex, and i have noticed a better battery life.

Funny, I always did get decent battery and never understood all the complaints. If you shut down 90% of the crap (BT, WiFi, GPS, News twice a day, weather twice a day.........) I could in theory leave the house and make it home.
My problems is I listen to radio at work!
Nice find, will give a try.
It looks like you did not use the phone much that day.
I can probably get two days or more from my Photon if I am not using it
Bu even when I am using it a lot, I get home at the end of a day (around 7:00 PM) with 60-70 percent battery life remaining. I think one of the keys is to used Sep CPU to low power when the screen is off.
good info i'll try
Hi everyone
i have a strange problem that happens often with my phone,
i noticed there are some certain apps or games cause my phone to consume power more that usual.
what happened was, i fully recharged my phone, then installed (Where's my water, the free version) from Android Market last night, and i played it for a while, then i went to sleep and the phone on the stand by mode.
when i woke up this morning and i found that my phone lost almost 40% of its charge over night.
the only solution to recover from that high power consumption is to restart the phone, but it is really annoying!
i took a snap shot to the power graph and i made little explanations on it.

any help would be really appreciated.
Sorry for bad English!
Download better battery stats from the market and it should tell you what was eating your battery. I'm guessing an app is keeping your phone awake. Check your uptime and awake time to see if it seems to close in numbers.
thanks for reply, but as you can see from that picture, the phone does not show awake condition while it consumes power.
anyways I'll try to install one of those battery monitor apps to identify what's wrong with the device.
thanks again
please help
I put the phone into flight mode over night and the drain was a bit less than when on. 15% in 8.5 hours, compared to the 25% with it on.
However, as you can see from the screen shots, something is still causing the phone is "wake up". I've turned off everything in the process of trying to find out what it is, but still cannot find out.
Can someone have a look at the shots and see if ye can pick out something.
I must say that the connectivity issue I'm having(keeps giving me a connected to wifi network notification every few mins) could be causing these wakelocks?? I don't know myself.
Anyways, I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to sort out the wakelocks.

s-voice has a wake up feature turned on by default
Continuously connecting to Wi-Fi is the power saving mode.
You can deactivate it by dialing *#0011#, menu, Wi-Fi.
The only way I found to allow the phone to truly sleep was not to have Wi-Fi on at all. Off when screen off also seems to work.

4.5hrs screen time looks pretty good to me. I'm lucky if I get 4hrs

Running stock Gingerbread ROM (PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip)
Phone is completely back to stock (S-ON, ***LOCKED*** bootloader, etc.)
Up since charged two days ago. Stock OEM battery, too. What do you guys think?
Where's the screen on time and what were you're usage habits? You gotta be a lot more specific than that.

Your screen was practically never on.

It doesen't matter what rom you use, aside from a slight battery savings that can be tweaked, your screen is the biggest battery hog by far. The best thing you can do is dim your screen, with it very dim I've had almost 5 hrs of on time for the screen, average around 2.5-3.
I can also reach 24hrs+ if I keep my screen on for 1 second! /s
The Moderating team is not really a fan of best rom threads because what may be a great rom for one person may not be the same for another because needs and usage will very. So I'm going to close this.
