How do you fix Galaxy S6 battery life problems? Here are our top power-saving tips!
With a brilliant display, powerful processor and plenty of software features, you may find yourself draining down the relatively small batteries on the or a bit faster than other phones, but that doesn't mean the phone's battery life is completely out of your control.
With just a handful of tips — some specific to the GS6 series, others you can use on any Android phone — you'll be able to make the most of the sealed-in battery on the Galaxy S6, and we're going to tell you all about them.
Keep an eye out for rogue or often-refreshing apps
We're often quick to jump on a phone when the battery life isn't up to our personal standards, but sometimes you can't point the finger at the phone itself. It's far less likely each day as apps are designed to behave on our phones properly, but every once and a while you can still come across an app that uses up more than its fair share of your power. If you're curious as to what's taking up your battery, wait until the end of a full charge — say, when you hit 10 percent — and then head into the battery settings and tap "Battery usage."
You'll see if any particular app has been using a lot of battery, and if something's way off the charts you can consider tweaking its settings or uninstalling it completely. If you're interested in more granular information you can try a third-party monitoring app (folks seem to like ) to get a more precise reading. Just know that the information can sometimes be confusing and inconclusive — apps are going to use some power no matter what, so don't go overboard with monitoring and analyzing.
