Furthering on from my pictures here is my usage on gsam. I can't get through 2.5hrs screen on and 11hrs without battery dieng in me.

You have something keeping your phone awake that's why, go to that section of gsam.

I'd put my phone on charge before I could look.. Ill monitor it though thanks.

Is anyone using any different alarm clock? Not finding the default one pleasurable or customisable at all

Timely is absolutely brilliant.

Just noticed my phone is still on 5.0.2 and says its up to date, i thought there was a later version out?

I bought my S6 off ebay and it's unlocked but it's a European sim phone only.. Maybe that's why.

Gave the phone abit of a hammering this morning and having to charge after 6 hours of it being unplugged is a joke and made my S5 look awesome. Not sure what to do.. As for the held awake I can't click that to see what hwt it is.

install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

it will tell you the country code your phone is set too

look for "Active CSC Code"

let us know what it is

@Quinnaay I notice the huge drain from your phone radio which might mean you are in a very weak signal area, an app is using your radio a lot or you have a broken radio/antenna, obviously somethings not right.

S6 is now down to £420 on amazon UK.

I have full signal. However ive practically been using the Internet in the whole screen on time (3hrs) is that what it could be.. The phone being held awake I can't check and I noticed the radio also but not sure how I can fix it.

I bought my phone from a german store on ebay (a highly rated one). It was brand new. For some reason, I kinda blame the battery woes I'm having on the fact that it was from germany. I don't know whether there is some modem incompatibility or something. Anyway, it's probably just me being crazy, but thought I'd let you know anyway.

Just received an OTA update to 5.1.1 for my sim free S6 (XXU)

 

[welshdragon]

Me too!!! YAY

Could it be that Google has finally acknowledged the bug of mobile active radio..https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=2556

 

[Quinnaay]

Not sure I'm going to be lasting with this.. Another 7.5hrs and I'm at 4%battery.. Not acceptable.

Return it for another? Maybe it's faulty.

Bought from EBay unfortunately. I genuinely don't think it's faulty it's literally perfect aside from the battery life.. It had never been used either. Seems I'm not the only one with rubbish battery life either.
