So I'm getting pretty bad battery life on my Spring Galaxy S6 Edge. I got the S6 last week and I can still return it to Sprint and get a different phone. (I'm looking at the G4 right now). I've been reading almost every battery thread on XDA and reddit and I just can't figure out how to get better battery life. I'm running the latest stock software. I am not rooted. I've already tried a factory reset and disabled all unnecessary apps.
Right to the point, I get around 2~2.5 SOT on my phone usually with only Wifi on, low brightness, and location set to battery saving. Now, I'm happy with how the phone drains when I'm actively using it. I got about 50 minutes SOT of reddit, instagram, facebook, etc and it drained about 15%.
What I'm not happy about is the idle battery drain/screen off drain. On multiple occasions, I charged my phone to 100% and let it sit over night. I would almost always wake up around 90 or 91% with around 8-10 hours of sleep. Other times, the battery just drains at a crazy 5%/hour. How do I minimize idle battery drain? It's driving me crazy. I don't think this is a problem with the S6 specifically, as I had this problem with my M8 running lollipop before.
I look at CPUspy and it looks like my phone is going to deep sleep around 60% of the time. I'm would like that number to be higher, but I'm entirely sure if 60% is good or not.
On GSam, I always notice that Android System and Kernel are top of the list. Not sure how to tame those. Other apps seem to be doing okay.
So I'm looking for tips and advice on how to make sure I'm getting the best idle drain without going into airplane mode. I know that if I get get idle drain down, then this phone or really any phone can last me all day and get 5-6 SOT. I also read somewhere that reflashing the firmware might help, but I'm trying to see all of my available options before I do so.
Thanks everyone!
EDIT: I'll also try to add screen shots after using it for a few hours!
