S6 Edge+ Overheating? (And battery issue) - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, on my s6 edge+ the temperature stated by HW Monitor says 55C (131F) , and sometimes rises to 70C (158F) then drops back to 55C (131F) or 45C (113F). I got it from Dubai and I am using it in the UK. It is the G928C model. Is this normal/is anyone else having this issue? Should I try factory resetting it and erasing all data?
Also the second problem is that I feel the battery runs out quick! Does anyone else feel like this? It only lasts about 14-15 hours from full 100% charge to empty battery. And I'm only using apps such as youtube, instagram, messenger, facebook.

Never had heating issues even after intensive gaming. However, if you're using apps like youtube or gaming during charging, I'm sure the temperature would considerably go up . Also, apps like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are actually pretty heavy. They stream a lot of data over the network and would definitely affect your battery life.
Try turning on the Power Saving mode, I'm sure that would help a lot. In my phone (AT&T), I get 6 hours of screen on time and upto 24 hrs of usage (withing 6 hrs screen on) very easily even with wifi & data turned ON all the time.

Hi, sometimes the phone is a bit unresponsive as well. For example, when turning it on after locking it, there is a long delay and then when i click the lock button again the screen flashes because the lock button has been clicked twice (wake then lock)

This is the time when you should rush back to your retailer and get it exchanged!
"Edge+ and lag associated together" isn't something I have seen on my handset yet, no matter what application I have used even with the Battery Saving mode turned on.

I can't exactly do that. I got it from Dubai. The lag isn't when using the phone. It was just unlocking it but it seems fine now.

Good if its fine now. Otherwise, you can always try a factory reset. I hope it works fine... :good:

[Q] High CPU Load and Lag

Hi all,
recently I bought a i9505 (with Snapdragon 600), it was a Vodafone branded version so, just the time to come back at home and I flashed with ODIN latest Italian version on sammobile (I9505XXUAMDM_I9505ITVAMDB_I9505XXUAMDM_HOME.tar) and rooted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar .
The problem is about the micro lag that plagues this phone .. so I checked in developer side of the phone the CPU load and I found a very very high load, a lot of time it's more than 100.

The phone is almost empty, just facebook, whatsapp and other 3 apps. How is possible all this CPU load and this microlag ?
Maybe stock rom bugged ?
Can someone check if his S4 has same loads ?
Thank you all!
The CPU load on my phone while going through settings, checking notification center and just looking at the home screen is low. I didn't see it go over 35%. Is your list always that long? Mine is usually about the length that it is in the screenshot attached but does go beyond half the screen for a second or two sometimes.

On first, thanks for your reply.
About your 35%, this is not a percentual, it's a time of CPU, is a bit more complex, you can find a explanation here.
Yes, my list is more long then a page some times..
My old GNexus hardly went beyond 2, or 3 values.. Maybe Samsung ROM are very heavy, but this is so high..
About battery, is normal mine consumption (in attachment) ? Because high CPU consumption may reduce highly battery duration.
Let me know.
Thank you

Ye, rebooting, the high cpu load reduces (to 2 or 3) and after some moments (10-15min) turn back to 50/60..
Is I9505XXUAME2 from Austria ?
My I9505XXUAMDM (latest of Italy) is a bit more older then yours.. maybe I should try it..

I'm sorry, you are right.
I made some screenshot of today, I charged at 100% the phone yesterday night and this morning (in air plane mode) it lost 6%, my old GNexus after 9 hours of air plane hardly lost 1%..
As you can see after this reboot the media scanner disappear..
Maybe I blocked some apps too much?
Was looking through the pictures you posted. It actually seems pretty normal. One thing about the google play services is that people have reported that it was eating CPU time. The reason behind is the added google sync services. To reduce the usage, go to your google account on your phone and uncheck useless stuff like "movies, books" etc.
It doesn't matter if you block too many apps.
Also, one last thing. The standby time varies from phone to phone. Gnex and sgs4 are inherently different phones. 6% overnight is rather acceptable.
P.s.if you find this of help, I recently added the donate button. I wouldn't mind a beer or two

N910F, "Android OS" battery drain - can't determine the cause

This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.
Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.
As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).
Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.
Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I have the same issue. Tried greenifying everything. No dice. I reboot, phone fine, then stays away. I will say that my battery life is good though, but this riddle is driving me nuts
Here is my issue, look at away bar.

Me too - 910F - im on Lollipop, but struggling to make it through a day at the moment.
Checking my Battery Graph is the same Story - my phone seems to be Awake constantly.
Seems Android System is using it....
Anyone have any ideas?
I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.
TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.
I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.
Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...
Can't root Verizon unfortunately
Hmm. Try this. Unchecked under advanced wifi, the option to let Google and apps use wifi, even when wifi off. Since then, 12 hours, I have had normal sleep. Did reboot after Unchecked. . Premature to say I fixed it, but so far so good.
Update. Since unchecking that wifi option, phone sleeping normally still.
Update #2- after 36 hours. It's back! Awake constantly. Unreal

I get through entire day... About 3.5 screen hours on. At 7pm I'm at 20% typically. Maybe that's bad?

I'm usually around 40%. but maybe our app-age is different.
I've updated the Google Play Services to the new version 7.0.87 and this issue seems to have gone.

When phone is in Doze mode should i be seeing any wakelocks in the battery graph?

Hello i have posted this over on Reddit but thought that i may get more info on the problem on this site.
Sorry for the long post.
I am trying to find out what is causing my battery to drain 10-15% over night.
i have tried a factory reset 3 times and nothing has fixed it but 3 hours ago i done one again for the 4th time and so far it is still at 100% and i haven't hardly touched the phone so i am not sure if the reset has finally worked ( this time i did uninstall whatsapp too)
My question is, in this 3 hours of hardly touching the phone it is still at 100% but it is still showing being awake quite a few times in the battery graph and i was wondering if that means it hasn't entered doze because it still shows wakelocks? i hope this makes sense

People on reddit think it may be a wifi wakelock issue and have told me to try it on 4g to see if i still get any wakelocks which i will try for the next few hours.
Also after doing a factory reset does the phone need a few days or cycles to get the battery to working properly?
I should also note that for the past 3 or so days i have been trying different tests in the night when i am sleeping to see if it is an app causing the battery problem. I only have 3 3rd party apps on my phone which are reddit relay, whatsapp and tapatalk.
1. The first night when i noticed the drain and all 3 were on the phone it dropped about 10-15%.
2. The second night i only had the apps that came with the phone (they all updated first but no apps were opened like chrome so i dont know if they were set up and i was signed in) and it dropped 2%
3. the third night i removed tapatalk and kept relay and whatsapp and it dropped 10%
4. Today 3 hours ago i have removed whatsapp and the battery stayed at 100% for just over 3 hours until i picked it up and started using reddit and chrome so it seemed to not drain as fast but i still have all those wake locks.
Do you guys think it is the wifi wakelock problem or maybe an app? if it is the wifi problem will a new phone fix it as reboots and restarts with this phone doesn't seem to or if i get a new phone will it happen to that one and its actually a problem with my wifi?
Again sorry for the very long post, i am just looking to see if i can get to the bottom of this before my 15 days are up to get a refund from google.
Sorry to hear about the battery issues. Lots of complaints since the update from 6 to 6.01.
I think you have until January 22nd to return the phone, if you purchased it recently from the Google store.

Not sure if you are rooted or not, but if you are then I highly suggest downloading the Wakelock Detector app. If you are not rooted then I suggest rooting because it is the fastest way to get down to the root cause of the problem (pun intended). It will show you each process/app that wakes the phone from most to least.
Without downloading that you will just be playing a guessing game of uninstalling 1 app at a time, which could take forever. So save yourself the trouble and download Wakelock Detector. I think it is pretty safe to say most of the wake locks are from apps, so please do not return the phone because of that. I do not think a hardware issue could affect software wakelocks, and if it was a stock software bug, most or all people would be experiencing it. Good luck, feel free to report back to let us know what you found with it if you do root and download it.

Finow X3+ Battery Life help

I got my new Finow X3+ watch this past week and although I'm really impressed with the look, speed and overall capability of the device, all of that means squat when it can't make it past 8 or 9 hours on a good day with very limited use (basically only checking the time and notifications with only BT tether and cell on, no WIFI).
Not sure if it was bad OTAs that I installed when I got it or what's going on but I think it has something to do with phone not sleeping..If anyone can give tips to save battery that you've found for unrooted x3+ please let me know.
Also does anyone know of a way to disable the pedometer hardware as I'm pretty sure that's the a big issue. Thanks guys
The cell network is the batt hogger. What do you expect from that tiny batt? Because Watch standby is perfect.

It's true, since turning off cell service I can usually get almost a full day (7am-10pm) just using it as a companion watch with m2d but it's disappointing not being able to use it the way I thought I could.
But how are you getting 3.5 days on one charge? I don't think mine goes into full deep sleep possibly because pedometer always logging info? Please let me know if you know how to disable the pedometer constantly running since I'd rather use it and the Heart monitor on an "as needed" basis. Any help is appreciated.
You have installed this update?
Yea I did...should I not have installed it?
I read that drains the battery, you've seen any change?

Yea I turned off the ios push notification like you're showing in your pic, was taking about 10% battery in mine too. It didn't have any effect on notifications from phone to watch cause I don't use iPhone. Saved good amount in battery too.
So you know how I can disable pedometer if that's possible?
But as ios notifications is disabled?

I force closed ios notifications from the running apps list but for some reason it still takes some battery. Anyway I solved my issue: I did factory reset and then downloaded a phone booster app someone recommended on the Google group page.
Went from ~8-10 hours light use to about a day and half on one charge with moderate use. If anyone has battery life issues for seemingly no reason then try this. Thanks for your help mad.

Huge battery consumption, help needed

Hi all,
I am very satisfied with my device except for the battery life. I always had like 3-4 hours SOT. I was not happy but it was OK.
Lately I started charging the device every day after work (I would come home with dead phone after only 8-9 hours of it being unplugged).
So I thought the battery is defective, I must change it... and I did change it yesterday. The thing is that even the new battery behaves almost the same. It approved somewhat and now I will return home with 10% battery instead of dead phone 1 hour ago. But still the battery is terrible...
Can anyone help me, share some advice on how to improve it? I have disabled many software (even facebook), disabled location... did everything I could think of.
I am thinking some app is drawing the juice but cannot put my finger on any of them.
Some screenshots are attached that might help with your tips/advices.
Thanks!

Are you rooted? On nougat? If so get background restrictor APK here on XDA and kill background apps and tasks so they can't run if you do not open them. Lower screen brightness. Install kernel auditor and shut off cores 4 and 8.

uninstall chrome. Then try accubattery (better bcause after android 7, they join all in android system to mask each app consumption. If after this you still can't find out where's the problem, start the phone in "safe mode". Even the consumption is better in this mode you must do a full wipe in recovery mode (vol up+power+home) and after this, reinstall one app each time and see after reinstall the second one and so on until you find out in which app is draining the battery
If you want you can starting by disabling background data in settings but I think isn't the clearer way to find out
This is going to surprise you.
I've had this phone for years and I've tried everything - and the BEST result is when you DON'T DO ANYTHING except disable Facebook and Instagram, and any Google Apps you don't use.
Do not tamper with anything else.
I figure that Samsung tunes this phone so tightly that if you leave it alone it operates as it should.
Anytime I disabled anything else, battery life suddenly and drastically reduced.
The phones runtime software kicks in and if you have disabled something it checks routinely, it will keep the phone awake constantly looking for a ping back from that process.
I just went through the whole process again meticulously, App by App.
Also DO NOT enhanced messaging OR the device antivirus. If you have, you must reset and then train yourself not to engage these too regardless of how hard The phone tries to persuade you!
Then - the battery life becomes like a normal phone which means you'll still need to charge everyday but it will take you through a full heavy day... And this is fantastic!
Honestly try it and you'll see what I mean. The S6 edge plus is so finely tuned, anything you block will start a feedback loop.
I had similiar problems , the way i fixed it, i disabled/uninstalled all samsung applications what i dont use, i disabled/uninstalled all google applications what i dont use. Cold weather (like -20C) will affect the battery life too.
Disable / uninstall apps you dont need. That helped me a lot and got even more battery life while at stock nougat rom with all updates installed.
try wiping cache from recovery and reboot your phone.
I hope this helps you
