Why are Samsung batteries so shit, I don't use it and the battery dies so quickly through the day. When it's close to 15% it just dies and goes to 0% WTFFF
Do you have a magnetic phone case?
Are you leaving all your antennae on all the time? Is Google fetching email/whatever every 5 seconds?

How do I check
Its a Samsung galaxy alpha btw
I was having this problem on my note 4 until a few weeks ago then I got an update and it lasts like it normally should now
>Disable all useless apps
>Make sure your sync times aren't more frequent than they need to be
>Only turn location on when you need it (are you really using Google Maps more than once or twice a day?)
>Don't use the Facebook or Messenger apps
>Screen brightness on auto
>Turn off 'wifi always scanning' in settings
>Use Tasker to auto turn off Wifi when disconnected for X minutes
But yeah, to be honest, I still ended up rooting. Now I get 5+ hours SOT with greenify, amplify, advanced root-only Tasker functions etc

hello autistic NEET, how's the weather tdoay

It's easier to leave it on GPS only.

See all those lines and blips where the phone is awake but the screen isn't on? Some shit is draining your battery. I bet you're the same type of retard that complains Windows is running slow but never bothers to check task manager/services. Learn what's running on your own hardware.

I have a 3 year old nexus 10 and that happens with me, but the battery die at 41%.
I read somewhere that you can recalibrate the battery by using it until it dies and then charging it until it's complete. Doing that a few times should do the job.
In my case, that didn't work, i think it's because the battery is simply old.
>>53775176
Official battery or OEM piece of shit you got off eBay/Amazon for $5?
>>53778928
This.
Use GPS only. It is passive and consumes shit all power, less than wifi.
>>53775176
I got an S6 and I get between 5 and 6 hours of screen on time. Maybe you just got bad luck.
>>53779344
It's the battery the phone came with, I use the default charger.
>>53778979
I've tried multiple decharge to 0 and recharge cycles
>>53778955
Don't assume random shit, i may not be a tech genius but give me some credit I'm no autismobot. It's always the same default apps using battery according to my phone. YouTube isnt usually on there tho

S3 was just a godly phone that seems likes its gonna outlive phones coming out in 10 years
>>53780069
Greenify it you big dummy head.

S7 fixed some batt life issues. I seriously tried to deplete the S7 battery to store it, and it lasted 15+ hours running Ass Creed Pirates, rendering the ocean.
I wish I was making this up.

Can't say I honestly agree with that, largely because any app that is using your Wifi/mobile data will also be keeping your device awake.
While those connections can stay active by the communication chips themselves without OS staying awake to facilitate them, any OS or app usage of them requires waking the device, just like GPS.
You can have location/GPS turned on but it won't actively maintain your position unless you have an application doing so, so it won't keep your device awake.

uninstall that fucking facebook app and youre good to go. damn wakelocks, learn how to interpret them.
>>53775176
Time to buy another battery, luckily that one has easy removeable ones
I like how this thread has managed to survive longer than a Samsung battery.
>>53783495
But my Samsung battery lasts more than two days and this has only been up 10 hours.

I've deleted the Facebook app, how bad is the messenger app?
>>53778856
Same on mine. This only stand by time, of course it goes down as I use the phone more and more.
>>53775176
Tfw redmi 3. 15 hour screen on time browsing the web.
Based chinks.
>mobile phone battery issues
Should have bought an iPhone. My 6S Plus has never gone below 50% after an average day.
