Ok. So this makes no sense to me now. I disabled Google now, and had my weather app only update during specific times, and a lost almost double than what I lost yesterday. Today I'll disable location, and see how that goes.

 

[faniebraai]

Google Play services is the one that went up, so let me see...

 

[faniebraai]

^ that's almost no difference, compared to some of the stuff we saw yesterday

Nice one Michelle! How do you get that slooooow battery drain at night? Everybody else's graphs remain fairly consistent, but yours has a big reduction at night.

Ultra Power Saving is my guess... i have been using that at night with the A5. Costs me 1%.

A bit better this morning, only 15% drain.



Wifi, Data & Location on & Smart Network Switch off.
Improvement due to disabling Huawei HiLink app.

What can I try next?

I'm at a loss.

Yesterday I lost about 14% with everything ON. I turn off frequent weather updates, and Google Now. And then I lost 24% what.the.actual.fsck.

I'm turning off location today, and see what a difference that makes. And then I'll turn off bluetooth.

My bluetooth is always off and my weather app updates every 3 hours. Changing weather app to update every 6 hours. Lets see if that makes a difference.

So yesterday I disabled smart network switch and my phone only lost 6% overnight. Down from around 25%

Thanks for the help guys

I have also disabled the smart network switch, battery usage went from 30% to 4% overnight.

Thanks for the help.

Damn, that's good.

Noticed that Power saving mode was not enabled last night. Will that make a difference as well?

My battery usage overnight is also pretty good without changing anything.

OT - Does anyone else's Tapatalk crash when trying to attach a picture to a new post?

Yes it will make a difference, I did not use the power saving mode overnight and my location was switched off and my wifi was on.

Yes, same here.

Uninstalled Tapatalk, and re-installed from Play Store. The app has completely changed, so not sure why it didn't update the installed version.
I am loving the new layout, and now I can attach pictures.

Everyone enjoying their s6 and found any tips to save battery yet?

 

[rph72]

Same here.

@faniedry and anyone else with Google Play Services wakelocks:

NB: if you dont have root this wont help you at all.

Install Disable Service and App Ops from PlayStore.

Open Disable Service go to System Apps and scroll down to Google Play Services and open.
Untick ConfigFetchService and UserPresenceService. Some people also untick SysytemUpdateService but i dont.

Now go open up App Ops and install and reboot.
After reboot open App Ops and find Google Play Services.
Open Google Play Services and turn off Location at the top and Keep Awake at the bottom.
Reboot phone.

Google play services should now be incheck and not drain battery like before.


Im on night shift this week so I have been using my phone alot while at work.
