[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
It won't actually get that with real usage though, I have an m8 for example and it shows at 7 hours 12

I get around 4 hours SOT

I'm not saying the n6 is bad at all, just saying don't expect 7 hours 53 with real usage

Oh and just for comparison, data is from phone arena with the same test

Nexus 5 - 4 :50

Lg g2 - 6:48

Oneplus - 8:05

IPhone 6+ - 6:32
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
Yes I get it that everybody's usage is different.

I personally average 5+ hours of SOT on my nexus 5, so the phonearena web script may be similar to my typical usage.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yea its all Individual really, anyways here's the results from phonearena with some of the latest smartphones, all using the same test

Nexus 5 - 4h :50m

Lg g2 - 6h :48m

Oneplus - 8h :05m

IPhone 6+ - 6h :32m

Note 4 - 8h :43m

Nexus 6 -7h: 53m
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Better then g2 and similar to OnePlus. I'm happy with that
[Nexus 6  General] Chad_Petree:
With nexus devices I usually divide their estimated in two, the nexus has an estimated of 4 :50 and I get 2:30 :crying:-2:40 of screen time, so for me this nexus would be around 4 hours of screen time which is not too shabby but with the Xperia Z3 I would get 4:45- 4.50 of screen time , that's impressive :cowboy:
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
I got around 4 hours on screen time with my Nexus 5 but right now I am getting over 10 hours on screen time easily everyday with my iPhone 6+ so I don't use the tech sites results to be very accurate. I also don't play games tho and have wifi on 90% of the time...
[Nexus 6  General] Orvils:
Looks awesome! If it will last at least the same as my LG G2 I will be happy with that.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
This is good news but I'm still optimistic for even better real world performance than on the Nexus 5 because of the better radios. I'm in a crappy signal area most of the day. This test doesn't seem to take that into account.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
Is the 6+ battery life really that good? It's been praised by many sites as having phenomenal battery life but I haven't spoken to anyone who owns one to see if those claims are truly justified.

How are you guaging your screen on time on the 6+? The Usage section?
[Nexus 6  General] Hardcore73:
Yes through the usage section which is the time phone is on since last charge and the on screen time. I have had my Bluetooth on all day (streamed hour workout to beats wireless for an hour and had Pebble watch on all day). I have had phone on 8 hours with 4.5 hours on screen and battery is still at 50%. I use my phone all day to watch YouTube and Netflix etc.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
How are you judging the iPhone seen on time? If you're doing it by that " usage" stat , that isn't just SOT, it includes when the device is awake, I.e syncing, music, basically anything
[Nexus 6  General] JamesRC:
Marques Brownlee posted 4 hours SoT at 100% manual brightness (with 20% battery remaining).

That's a very good result - projected 5 hours for the whole battery...

[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
I wouldn't expect battery life to get much better unless there is a shift in tech. The problem is this is a 90+ post thread of people that think that 4 hours of screen time is normal daily usage. That's like 1/4 of your conscious life staring at a 6" screen. The other 99.999% of humanity doesn't do that. They left battery life issues back in 2011. This is not really an area where the manufacturers compete anymore...every phone produced is good enough, so they move to things like screen resolution, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Wow, 5hrs SOT at Max brightness is insane!!!

He also stated it beats the G3, Note 4 for his usage & is about the same as the Droid Turbo.

Wahhay!
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Exactly. You couldn't have said it better. Same goes with benchmarks. I care if I can make a call at the end of the day versus making a screenshot and showing it off to a forum. There are days that I get home with my n5 and have 40% left and other tines its dead. Like a said earlier battery life is very verybsibjective and these battery threads should probably start going away.
[Nexus 6  General] ck.chunkeat:
From what I know, IOS doesn't show on screen time. Instead, it shows usage time. Therefore, there isn't really a way to compare the battery life between the 2 ecosystem.
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
Now that is the very definition of irony! LOL!
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
Where was it mentioned 100% manual brightness?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:

[Nexus 6  General] litrekid:
At max brightness thats pretty impressive. Definitely excited for this. I was worried it might be worse then my g3 but sounds promising for sure.
[Nexus 6  General] zevim2005:
So do i,had a nexus 4 and 5,with the N4 i got max 3 hr SOT,and with the N5 i got max 4 hr SOT,now with an iphone6+ i get 7-8 SOT with HEAVY use everyday....
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
I have the iPhone 6 plus, have had it for about a month now. I average around 4-5 hours screen on time. I just use it for reddit, twitter, google+, youtube, texting, calling, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
That seems awfully low especially considering the praise it has received in reviews. Even in comparison tests, they say the 6 Plus easily outlasts the Note 4 and other devices.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
How you guys measuring the SOT for the iPhone 6?
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
There is technically no way to measure screen on time with iOS devices. All you get is "usage" data which incorporates screen on time and background processes.

The only way to really compare Android and iOS devices is to use both devices with equal usage patterns and compare battery life at the end of the day. It's highly unscientific but it can give you a general idea.
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
Yea, I am not happy with it. That's why I'm selling it and getting the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr_Chukes:
Did you get a preorder in?
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
I sure did, you?
[Nexus 6  General] zevim2005:
I recommend you to do a restore and start the iphone as new or call apple support, they will run a diagnostic that should solve your problem! i see in forums people average is 16hrs standby and 10-11 usage time!
[Nexus 6  General] johnkingx:
battery life all the same

the battery life for a nexus 6 and note 4 are the same
[Nexus 6  General] Mr_Chukes:
Yup I got the 32 blue. I wanted the 64 but saw the 32 pop up in the playstore and thought I couldn't let it pass me by.
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
I got the 32 Cloud White. Exactly what I wanted :D
[Nexus 6  General] Ulver:
That's pretty good considering the max brightness and the size/resolution of the N6. I was really expecting much less. It's definitely not Z3 battery good. Hell, even my Xiaomi Mi4 gets about 3 hours SOT at 50%, but it has a 3080mah battery. The only thing now really keeping me from getting the phone is Google's take on ambient display. It's true it could get modded in the future, but I'm looking at what I get out of the box.

Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
Sorry but I call bs on g3 getting that kind of time. Mine barely makes it 3 hours of screen time before it's under 20%
[Nexus 6  General] litrekid:
Best i have seen on my g3 is about 4-5 hours but I do seem to have varying results some days. My brightness is always set at 66 and never on wifi. 6 hours would have to be with 20% brightness and on wifi if i had to guess. if my six will do better then that I will be extremely happy.
[Nexus 6  General] INCREMENTAL:
I had a G3 before I let my GF have it and I would get between 5 and 6hrs of SOT but that was with brightness set down low.
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
I use Lux Dash to control brightness. I couldn't use my G3 on low brightness anyway as it's already on the lower end if you ask me.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
Yeah that's the only thing that made a major difference on my nexus 5...I used veils auto brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] mbonus:
I'm guessing we need some optimizations with lollipop. The battery results from the full reviews are terrible.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
"some" of the full reviews yea..... but others say it has excellent battery life ( including the Verge ) , so basically we don't have a clue where we stand right now
[Nexus 6  General] mbonus:
One of the few review sites I used to trust point to it being pretty disturbing: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8687/the-nexus-6-review/2

However, I can't help but think that if Brian Klug, who used to work there was doing the review, would have found out definitively why it was so bad before publishing the review. I really thought it would be at least in the same league of the Note4.
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
I tend to take review as a grain of salt. For example, 6.5 hours on wifi browsing on S4 from anandtech? I would be happy if my S4 can last 4-5 hours on stock (non-stop browsing of course)

edit: These review site should do like multiple battery test, because different environment affect the test result
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
The reason these tests are done is to be able to accurately guage and compare the battery life between devices. That's why there are strict conditions in place in order to ensure each battery test is identical.

To put it simply, the conditions utilized in these tests are not conditions your device would be exposed too if used in the "real world". That's why you're not getting the same battery life as shown by Annandtechs testing.

Essentialy, the only use of these tests is to let you compare battery life between devices, these tests are not designed to tell you what kind of battery life you should be getting in day to day use.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
My theory on the Anandtech review is that the N6 is getting killed because of their standard 200 nit screen brightness requirement. If the display is just dimmer than others then this setting will cause the battery life to be horrible. According to the article, the display has the second to worst of other current phones at 258 nits. That is pathetic seemingly -- BUT the N5 I use now has a really bright display which I never have on over 50% brightness any way. I'd say 99% of the time it's at around 25% brightness which is probably 100 - 150 nits.

So for actual people using adaptive brightness in generally indoor settings, the battery life should be good. Like reported by MKBHD.

So what brightness do you guys use? Is 258 nits max unforgivably bad or will it be not noticeable?
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
It really depends on where you plan on using your smartphone the most. Someone who is indoors for most of the day will probably be fine with it.

Other people who want to use their smartphones outdoors will unfortunately be greeted by a black screen every time they turn on the Nexus 6 in sunlight. In this regard a max brightness of less than 300 nits is pathetically low and is in my opinion a major deal killer.

I owned the Galaxy Nexus which had horrible brightness and I got sick of having to look for shade in order to use my phone. The worst part is when you get a phone call but you can't see who is calling you and you have to end up blindly swiping while you attempt to answer the call.

The S5 was a godsend to me in this regard, the phone is able to ramp up the brightness to fairly high levels and in turn it makes outdoor usability a thousand times better.

I don't know about others but I do not want to go back to a screen with low brightness, it just ruins the experience for me.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
If it was LCD I would agree with you. However amoled has come a long way since the Galaxy Nexus... Unlike LCD, newer amoled panels have different reflective characteristics in direct light. So far the reviews I've read have rated the outdoor view ability from good to excellent.

Although admittedly it doesn't have the brightness boost that the s5 and note 4 have.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
There was a lot of hype about ART and Project Volta. Yet all the reviews say the battery life is pretty average, certainly nothing better than current phones running KitKat.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
I can get 5 hours SOT with my G3, but I usually average 4.5.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I noted in another thread that luminance in nits by itself tells only part of the story. For example, e-ink devices have very low luminance but are extremely easy to read in bright light.
[Nexus 6  General] heorung:
The 2K display kill the N6 battery life. If it has only 1080p display , it will have a very good battery life
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Wish the reviews would say who used ambient display and who didn't. I bet that's a battery killer.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
The point of ambient display is to save battery life. It only lights a few pixels at a time.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
The S4 had very low reflectance on the screen but it also didn't have very high brightness and as such preformed poorly in outdoor conditions.

There is only so much that can be done by an anti-reflective coating/display.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Nexus 6 spec page already states that having ambient display actually decreases standby time so I don't believe it's a battery saving feature. It just does it in a way that's not as impact-ful on the battery if it the notifications pulsed in full color.
[Nexus 6  General] fegone:
That's strange, some site say that the battery is impressive, some say it's average, some say it's okay. Can't wait to try by myself.
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
Guys I don't think there is any method scientific or otherwise to test battery life on Android phones. In my experience every phone handles power differently because of differences in the Base OS version and apps installed on the phone. I have used about 50 different phones in the past 5 years (all android) I can say it's really down to not just the screen on time but a combination of screen, OS and the apps installed on your phone.

Just taking one phone as an example ( and I have done this on many phones with similar results), the Samsung galaxy s4 when it came out had a decent battery life which deteriorated after a few months of use because of my insatiable appetite to try out new apps. Even removing the apps, constant restarting or killing process had no effect on battery life. It would last a day in the first couple of months and go down to 6 hours a day at worst point. After a factory reset battery levels would come back to an acceptable state.

In a nutshell it's really what YOU do with your phone which has a direct impact on battery life. Having said that if the nexus 6 has bad battery life to start with, it will only get worse once you start installing apps that have rogue processes eating up the memory and battery leaks. Remember, there is no governance on how to build your app for Android unlike apple, you can release just about anything in any state to the play store. Most likely it's bad untested apps that follow no set build guidelines that kill your battery.

Any new app installed on your phone will leave a footprint even after you remove it. You can directly compare this to the Windows OS registry entries which requires a constant cleanup.

Apart from software all sorts of hardware inconsistencies play a part in this. One screen manufacturer may churn out hungry screens that affect battery life while others not so much. Phone manufacturers tend to use multiple suppliers for their internals in different production batches.

It's all a big mess. I don't think there is any definitive way to measure battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
Even worse we've yet to see what kind of CPU binning has taken place with the nexus 6. My nexus 4 was binned really high and could take a lot of overclock plus massive undervolt and be completely stable. My nexus 5 was the opposite...any undervolt and it would freeze or reboot. This type of thing can make a substantial difference in battery life.

The other latest thing is the encryption-gate stuff...slow app load and boot times. I imagine turning that off (which is evidently trivial) should help battery a bit as well.

All that said, I'm still optimistic. Battery can be significantly tuned by using a reasonable screen brightness, killing wake locks, etc. Signal affects it quite a bit and I'm hoping moto radios will rescue that. A few minor ROM customizations to bring back dark or black screens on system menus will top it off.

[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
He used near max brightness at all times and has so many notifications coming through . MKBHD is NOT your averge guy usage.

For example, he got about 4 hours 30 mins on the One Plus One, and some people get 6-7 hours on that device.
[Nexus 6  General] zevim2005:
ok,didnt know that but steel 3,5....
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
Just to close out this thread, here are my impressions after nearly two weeks.

In the first couple of days my battery life was pretty bad but it settled in (no idea what that means since my usage didn't really change that much) and now I get 5 - 6.5 SOT per day. I don't play games, usage is mostly web and some videos mostly on wifi. I was really impressed with the screen on time while driving with navigation and music streaming. I was doing that for about an hour and the battery only went down about 25%.

So my bottom line is that it's quite a bit better than the nexus 5 (4 hours SOT best case).

I've seen that too. Check that 1) you have ADB drivers installed 2) you have root 3) you have usb debugging on

Hello,

I have issues with running EasyMagic TWRP on my MT6589 device. I have edited scatter to increase recovery size to 7mb as explained in this thread, and was able to successfully finish tool run and install recovery.

However, recovery does not show up! Just blank screen (with screen highlight, i.e. it tries to run).

[MENTION=4478781]yuweng[/MENTION], thanks for this tool.

I've partially successfully installed twrp 2.8.1.0 on a mtk5689 device using the installer. I've searched for solutions for problems, but could not find it. Hope you can help.

Successful:

- twrp is fully controllable and functions (i.e., wipe and backup)

Problems:

- Resolution 1280x800 is not carried out well. The message displays 1200x800 and although a recovery.img is created, the res folder is there but not complete (i.e. images are missing). Other resolutions are successfully rendered, including 800x1280 which I use at the moment)

- Landscape mode is not working. All landscape resolutions are placed in portrait mode (from the top), so that only horizontally a part is visible and a black part in the bottom is visible.

- The touch driver is forced in landscape mode. (So, the ui is forced in portrait and the touch layer is forced in landscape)

Solutions?

- Maybe the ui can be flipped (-)90 degrees instead of or in addition to the already possible 180 degrees? I believe this is handled in libminuitwrp.so, however, it's a boolean so I'm not sure if 90 degrees is possible anyway?

- Creating a custom xml, however the landscape touch layout would make for very broad and low buttons, pretty awkward sight probably.

- Make the touch driver rotate 90 degrees (but only while in recovery).

- Make the ui turn 90 degrees somehow with the display driver (but only while in recovery).

Are any of these solutions, or maybe a better you know of, possible and could you mention how to implement one of those (the best)?
