Voice calls uses a lot of battery

My phone is SM-G900H (Exynos Variant)
Today I made a 1hour call over Bluetooth headset and I noticed that this took more battery than the whole things including the screen during the day.
Why is voice call could even possibly eat up battery like that?

3 hour 22 min screen on time at 43% battery - you are getting way better battery life many users. Doesn't seem to be any battery issues with your phone.

The only battery related disadvantage of the G900H, the modem seems to use more power compared to the Qualcomm version.
As the above post mentioned, your battery life is still good, mostly thanks to the A7 cores that use less power in the lighter tasks.

Battery Life on Verizon

So my s5 is at 75% with just 40 minutes of screen on time, so by this math it'll be about 2.5 hours screen time when it dies on it's twelfth hour. It seems to me like the battery should be better. Is this similar to what others are getting. Usually android proces/system aren't at the top but they are here.

lol mine is at 3hrs at 50% so my math says that i will prob get 7hrs screen on time...
my recommendation would be that you check on what apps you are installing and see the phone settings screen brightness,etc

I don't have hardly anything installed, besides if it was some app I'm pretty sure it would show up on the battery stats, that's why I'm confused.

Battery life between xt1032 & xt1038

Hello everyone, so I had some problems with my Xt1032 and took it back to Argos...they offered to replace and I asked if I could change it for the 4G model since its the same price. They accepted. But the thing is my battery is better on my XT1039 than my 1032 was...which is odd.
I haven't even conditioned the battery yet and I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time with battery life lasting between a day and a day and a half.
My most recent battery life is shown below

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it would be interesting to see..
Also I am using the XDA app which I find horrible. Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place.

There is a thread dedicated to that already...

Oh and the search feature on the mobile app is terrible. Gonna install Tapatalk later...

There are multiple threads with varying opinions on the subject. I suggest you try it for yourself seeing as your device is able to install marshmallow. If you don't like it, you can always revert back and wait for better updates etc.

What is your set up

This is always my secret to extra long battery life. Purchase it from the Play Store
Android (5.1.1) doesn't need loads and loads of CPU power to function buttery smooth.
Lower the CPU clock speed, that way you'll be using less CPU power which will in turn save you battery life.
