I converted back to Android from a 6+. Bought my Nexus on Swappa with marshmallow already on it. Had it since Saturday and today was the first day really tested the battery. About 14 hours up time with almost 4 hours screen on (that's a lot of screen time for me on 14 hours). I've had probably ten plus different Android phones and besides the original Moto G, this device has given me best battery life.

I still have my 6+ around and will keep it, but glad to be back.
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
This ?
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
No,, i mean scanning under location on M. Like pics attatched here
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
Only shows the other section now, everything else says file cannot be read or no stats yet.
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
You are using build 2.1.0.0? I actually got mine from his XDA thread but it had mentioned the same build was on the Play Store, All features are working here for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
Ok my wifi scanning was on under there! Off now. Thanks alot hopefully it helps!
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
Should be, since i experienced the same thing before. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
Just uninstalled and reinstalled cause it was locking up...

I'm on 2.0.0.0

Only thing that works since I'm not rooted get is Other and CPU States.

Can we "one click" root yet?
[Nexus 6  General] swidnik0:
I can`t find it. Can You give me a full path? Thank You.
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
This is on M. Go to settings -> locations. And see the screenshot. On L its inside wireless settings.
[Nexus 6  General] swidnik0:
It's strange. I don't have this option. I`m on Android M
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
that's weird is it on the wireless settings?
[Nexus 6  General] swidnik0:
No there is not.
[Nexus 6  General] Zalbuckus:
Same here. I'm on PureNexus rom and i can't find scanning setting anywhere. The battery on idle gets SIGNIFICANTLY better when i turn wifi off.
[Nexus 6  General] swidnik0:
So it must be Pure Nexus rom issue. I'm also usng this rom.
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
that's probably it, since I use xtrasmooth and the option is there
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
I didn't find it on PN M either. I'm now testing Despairs UberMallow and don't see the setting anywhere. :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
well its suppose to be under the locations settings. Since xtrasmooth is based on stock ROM I'm pretty sure that's the default location.
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Do you have TWRP recovery? If so, just install the latest SuperSU.zip from there and then you are rooted. Super easy. :)

For a one click solution, Wugs Toolkit is usually great to use as well.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
I was running JDX for a while, before official sources came out and the wifi scanning was located in location as shown in the above picture. Currently running PureNex marshmallow and you guys are correct, the feature is not in location settings, what I did was shut wifi off and go into the wifi settings and click on the blue hyperlink that shows up. It takes you to these settings

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] swidnik0:
Thank you. You Are right.
[Nexus 6  General] JacobManning17:
That's really impressive. Can you tell me what features you have one? Active display, adaptive brightness, wifi, LTE, bluetooth, etc
[Nexus 6  General] solid009:
Does your settings menu have a search function? (Magnifying glass in top right corner) That's the only way I was able to find the scanning settings, by searching "scanning"
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Getting excellent idle time on M. I never saw 0.4% per hour battery drain on any phone till now. You can see it in my BBS dump(15_0638....)

But once I start using the phone battery drain increases. I am not getting any good SOT like 4+ hours.

Right now, since boot : 15h 33m

SOT: 1h 45m

Battery % lost: 35%.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Still on Lollipop. My personal SlimLP builds and blu_spark kernel. Both on stock settings so haven't undervolted, underclocked or anything else than the settings the rom + kernel come with. Can't complain.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
These are my updated stats at the end of the day. I got around 3h 21m SOT, where as others claiming 5+ hours SOT. where I am going wrong? Is whatsapp is the culprit? I use facebook but I greenify it. Many people claiming 5+ SOT without any mods.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
what am I doing wrong not to get bbs working?
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
FB is just evil on many fronts, not just for battery. lol

Have you tried the Assertive display flash? It should help you.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Are you rooted? Make sure you are using the latest version and you may want to install it as a system app.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
I'm rooted, latest version and installed as system app...
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Well, did a factory reset (feels nice to start fresh) and well...I must say doze is working and working well
[Nexus 6  General] sherbibv:
To be honesc.. Doze is sh*t.

Even on LP i got overnight drains from 5 to 10 % for no aparent reason(with all apps closet and on airplane mode). And stand by tine is really bad. On my nexus 5 if i left it idle for 8h, I would lose 1 maybe 2 %
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
I didnt see much battery improvement without FB. But i uninstalled it, let me see how it works. I already have the Assertive display flash. Let me see todays stats without facebook.
[Nexus 6  General] miguelito18:
[MENTION=1055764]imex99[/MENTION] after you've installed bbs as a system app you have to install it again.
[Nexus 6  General] tr3mm0r:
I see no difference with doze. 8 hours of usage during night shift at work was making phone barely have any battery in lollipop. See no difference in marshmallow
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
I encourage you all to try the Doze app and ShutApp combo from the Play Store. I'm on M and they are working fine and the battery life has been amazing. I'm right at 7 hours of SoT right now and previously I only had seen around 5 hours.

If you have Xposed then PowerNap is great app to run.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
Can you link them?
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
xposed is not working on M right.. any settings how to use these apps?
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Doze and ShutApp

As for PowerNap, there is a thread on XDA somewhere for it. It's in alpha stages but worked well for me on L ROMs.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Xposed isnt on M yet but he's working on it. As for the app settings, they are very basic and straight forward. Just read the intro about them on the Play Store. I'm not even sure Doze has any settings to really change much. :D
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Thanks for the information.

What are the apps should I activate in Doze? BBS, google play services needs to be in active list?

Also, whats apps should be in whitelist in ShutApp? These apps are straight forward, but I want to know, which apps must be in whitelist, so that phone will work without any problem
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
I forgot Doze had a whitelist but it appears I have whitelisted Greenify, all phone apps (5), Textra SMS and ShutApp. You likely will want to include whatever email app you are using as well. i can't speak to any of the Google services really since I'm usually not syncing them all the time.

As for ShutApp, looks like all I whitelisted was Greenify, Nova, Textra and my WeatherBug App. I'm guessing Doze is automatically whitelisted since I dont see it as an option to whitelist and these 2 apps are written by the same person. ShutApp only allows user apps to be whitelisted since it only closes user apps and doesn't touch system type apps.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Along with them, I kept BBS also in whitelisted apps. Thanks for the information.
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Oddly enough I didn't have to whitelist BBS or Gsam. They are still keeping stats properly. And you are welcome. Be curious what sort of savings you see.
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Well I just set a record for my SoT using Cataclysm's MM ROM and Elite kernel with the blu_active governor. Until now, best I had ever seen was around 5 hours with light usage on LP ROMs. Today I've got over 7 hours and I'm elated :D This was only my first full run on this ROM and kernel so I'll be curious as to how it does the next couple of days.

Screenshots attached using BBS and GSam Battery Monitor. I'm underclocked to a max of 1956Mhz and undervolted -70 globally. GPU forced 2D rendering with a max of 389Mhz clock. BFQ scheduler for I/O is being used.

3rd party software used is Greenify (donate), Doze from Playstore, ShutApp and lastly I'm using the nice Google Services drain script. Not sure how it affects battery but I've also got L Speed script installed and currently using its defaults. Hopefully this might help someone.

Edit- Note the very poor signal I have in this area. It drains battery badly.
[Nexus 6  General] kazryv:
I get 3-4 hours with stock of screen on time, with franco I was getting 4-6 hours but varies due to network issues. On marshmallow now so will have to see where battery goes from here.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Hmmm, that's weird, mine barely drains at all during that kind of standby, but again, I did do a factory reset and changed a lot as far as battery life (coming off many dirty flashes)
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Same here. I routinely seen less than 1% drain per hour on LP ROMs and the same on MM ROMs.
[Nexus 6  General] fedef12evo:
Cataclysm rom and assertive display, using intelliplug
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
What's assertive display and intelliplug?
[Nexus 6  General] fedef12evo:
assertive display is a features of xperia phone that i ported with a flashable zip,search my thread, intelliplug is faux hotplug
[Nexus 6  General] Ulver:
6.0, bone stock. Not too shabby!
[Nexus 6  General] sherbibv:
Well that's weird, because I didn't flash ROMS on my phone. Before stock MM, I had stock LP. I Let the phone drain to 0 and charge it up to 100%, and that night (with the help of the app Doze) I only lost 2 %. That's pretty good. Liss see tomorrow night how it handles.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
6.0 turned my Nexus 6 into a battery BEAST. I took it off the charger about 11 hours ago and I still have 22% left with 6½ hours of SOT. Details:

- Stock rooted MRA58K

- Blu_Spark r41

- Kernel tweaks include: 4 cores on at all times (screen on), 2 cores on with screen off, max screen off frequency of 1036GHz, undervolted by 50mv, vibration turned up to 100% (comes with it set to 60%)

- Google Now on

- Location set to battery saving

- Location reporting on

- WiFi used when I was a home (turned it off when I left the house)

- No Bluetooth

- No frozen/deleted apps

- Brightness set to 50% with adaptive display

- Active display (or whatever it's called) on

- All sounds/vibrations on

- Fit tracking my steps

- Push notifications/vibrations on for all apps

- Mixed use included ~30 minutes of Google Play music, lots of web browsing with Chrome, Google+, Gmail, some Facebook, Snapchat, hours of reading XDA with Tapatalk, and I watched a movie

I could easily get another 60-90 minutes of SOT, but it's bed time now.
[Nexus 6  General] YankInDaSouth:
[MENTION=5788953]Face_Plant[/MENTION] what app are you using to set kernel values when screen is on/off?
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Have you turned on wifi scanning? Check it under locations (in the overflow menu).
[Nexus 6  General] wazza1991:
No its off. That's one of the first things I switch off. But even if it would have been turned on it shouldn't have consumed 51% of my battery on stand by. Such things shouldn't happen especially when 6.0 mainly focuses on performance improvements and stability. Luckily that day I didn't have to get up early. I always depend on my phone for alarms.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Kernel Auditor. It's only possible if your kernel supports it.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
[MENTION=5788953]Face_Plant[/MENTION] :good: Nice stats! You always post screens with really good stats! I was getting good stats on the previews, but not so much on the official builds at the moment. Are there any other tweaks you make anywhere that would help? I can only seem to achieve decent batter with turning off so much stuff, and Im kinda tired of that. I like google now, but it seems to kill my battery with location on. If I don't use google now, then to me there really is no need to keep location on 24/7 and only use it when using Nav. I thought I remembered you posting in the battery tweaks thread about assertive display? Are you currently using this while you use adaptive display? Force GPU Rendering....anything else? Im going to run things as close as I can get to what you mentioned above and see how things go for me. I believe my signal may be better as it doesn't really have any yellow or red it in ever.....on ATT with the preview 3 radio

Thanks very much:good:
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
I'm not using the assertive display or the hardware rendering anymore. What condition is your battery in? Do you use fast charging at all? I found out the hard way on my Note 4 that fast charging is death for your battery. I have never used it on my Nexus 6 and only change it with a 750mah charger from my Droid X to preserve the battery.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
I use the turbo from time to time and a wireless charger sometimes too. My battery shouldn't be that bad yet, I think I purchased the phone mid to end of july. I tried those tweaks on preview3, but not on the official

Thank you for the reply
[Nexus 6  General] tengtengvn:
Can you explain the issue you had with QC 2.0? I've been through 3 phones with QC & never have any problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
After using fast charging on my Note 4 every day for a months the battery life began to suck. I used to get 5½ hours of SOT at first, then that dropped to 5, then 4, and so on until I was getting less than 2 hours if SOT because the battery was badly degraded. I got a new battery and it was good as new again. After that I only used chargers with an output less than 1 amp on my phones and haven't had any issues with battery degradation.
[Nexus 6  General] tengtengvn:
My wife and I both have the Note 4 since it launched. I did some testing when I got it and I found no different in battery usage between QC 2.0 and 1/2A chargers. I have replaced all my wall, auto and battery pack chargers with the QC 2.0 chargers. Because it charges so fast, I run the battery down to 15%-20% before I plug it in.

My Note 4 still has great battery life when I traded it for the Nexus 6 last week. My wife's Note 4 still has excellent battery life after 1 year.
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Fast charging isn't the issue, leaving the phone on the charger is... Never leave the phone overnight (charged) on any charger (maybe qi is okay, it has other things built in to keep from breaking the battery).. Lithium batteries are not happy with constantly being charged... Can "plate" them. (check the battery university site, don't have the link very handy atm)
[Nexus 6  General] tengtengvn:
I don't thing that's the case with modern battery. The battery does trickle charge after it's full. Battery is good only for a number of cycles.. By unpluging the charger everytime after it's full, you are wasting the battery cycle.
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
It doesn't "trickle charge", but it does keep topping off the battery (99%-100%-99%-100%) which is bad for the battery.
[Nexus 6  General] tengtengvn:
I've corrected my post earlier. "The battery

does

trickle charge after it's full."

What you are describing is trickle charging and from what I've read, it's better than running your battery down & add more cycle.
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Not with a lithium based battery.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_charge_when_to_charge_table

Lithium batteries are not trickle/topping charge friendly..

[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
Probably the best battery life I've gotten on any android phone.

I'm on Marshmallow stock. No root.
[Nexus 6  General] equi:
And data always on?? Or what?
[Nexus 6  General] tkso:
Which CPU governor are you running? I have it set to blu_active and I only seem to get 5 hrs SOT. And I followed the kernel tweaks you mentioned.
[Nexus 6  General] SpeedFire-:
My Nexus 6's battery life is always around 3,5 hours of screen time. It does not depend on the firmware too much (now I'm on Marshmallow). My screen brightness is set to auto and to the middle level. All services are on, no specific restrictions are set.

I'm really surprized that someone have 5+ hours SOT. How do you reach this?
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Pure nexus Rom with hellscore.. Off the charger since 11am. 80% WiFi and 20% 3G
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
I had LTE on, but I was connected to WiFi for the majority of the day.

I'm using blu_active. What are you doing with your phone during the day? Hours of music streaming? Playing games? How's your reception? Is it poor? All of these things will drain your battery very quickly and result in less SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Impressive

I am on chroma 6.0 with despair kernel.

Less SOT but its almost 1 and half day still 50% left. I have to see how much SOT I can get if I use the phone continuously.
[Nexus 6  General] grandmasboy:
I get roughly a bit over 9, rooted and -50 under volt, as well as underclocked thanks to LeanKernel. HUGE difference over my 6 ish before I did any of that.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

WOW now that is impressive.
[Nexus 6  General] tkso:
Hours streaming with Spotify, a bit over 1 hr games, some YouTube, browsing on chrome... I've attached my CPU voltage setting for the kernel.. Is this what you have too?
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
2 days 5 hours with 3 hours SOT.

This is the best I ever seen on any phone
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
Nice!:good:
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
I got this battery using some of your suggestions. Thanks alot
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
I'll be testing the phone later today to see how it does with Google maps and being on the road. Sitting at 82 percent now with 1 hour 13 minutes screen on time since 1 am. Should be interesting
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
Thanks! Good to hear you are pleased with the results! May I ask what radio you are running right now? I see you are from Maryland on ATT and I live in Lancaster, PA on ATT

My dbm in about phone/sim status or whatever is "sporadic" on 24R which is the radio Ive more or less always ran, so Im used to what dbm I should have at my desk at work. I used to always be around 84, now its like 105 :(

Thanks again:good:
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
My radio is 27R
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
This is what I have for voltages (currently undervolted by 50mv). They will vary from phone to phone based on your CPU bin number (mine is a 6).

Undervolting doesn't do much, if anything, for battery life. You might get 2-3 minutes of extra SOT, but that's it. Undervolting helps more with heat reduction.
[Nexus 6  General] tkso:
So made minor adjustments in kernels auditor and really pleased with the results.. Just over 7 hours SOT. Cellular Data on, mostly WiFi connection, heaps of audio stream with Spotify, loads of web browsing, 2 hours of Bluetooth, a bit of gaming.. Gonna try to undervolt some more and monitor battery..
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
That is freaking amazing!! From what I'm seeing everyone is getting at least over 24 hours of use with over 3 or 4 hours of screen time. Coming from a galaxy s5 this is amazing
[Nexus 6  General] Locklear308:
You must share the magic.
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Got this battery stat after unplugging the phone at around 11am, from 11am to 5pm 3g and the wifi till I plugged it in at 8am. So 21 hours off charger with 4.5 hours of sot.
[Nexus 6  General] tkso:
Android M Rooted running blu_spark kernel. CPU governor is blu_active. 2 cores minimum on at all times. Adaptive brightness and ambient display are on, screen brightness @ 50%. Tap2wake on. I've also got greenify running. Location mode off (unless in car). Wifi and cellular data on, WiFi scanning off.
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
Off charger since 11 hours, 5 hours of 3G and 6 hours of WiFi. Facebook, whatsapp, telegram, Google +, Instagram reddit, 9gag and real racing 3 was used during this period. Pretty amazed by battery life on M.

Purenexus Rom with hellscore b9.. Lowest frequency set to 94mhz and highest to 2.6mhz. Rest all stock hellscore settings.
[Nexus 6  General] lexus91:
This probably my best battery performance so far in nexus 6. use it mostly for ebooks, browsing, and chats (LINE). using Xtrasmooth ROM with Elemental X Kernel.

I turned mobile at home because the reception is really bad at my house. Using data for approximately 50% of the phone's uptime. wifi always on.
[Nexus 6  General] nodnarb91:
Nice stats!

How are you getting your navigation bar to change, every layer I apply that includes a different nav bar doesn't get applied, it just keeps the stock one.
[Nexus 6  General] ronakchavan:
It depends on the layer, some have built it with the system ui and some have it separate. I'm using my own layer.
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
Ignore the charge obviously but here are my stats. Started charging when it got to 5 percent. So basically a full 24 hours with 5 hours 42 minutes of screen on time.

Stock marshmallow no root.
[Nexus 6  General] pyromaniac1:
Google play services high up on app list

I've just been using Chrome to browse. But my Google play services battery usage has shot up in that time.

Any idea how I can reduce this?
[Nexus 6  General] terry_mccann:
Hmmm, asking myself what am I doing wrong? Doze is fine overnight, but ScreenOnTime never exceeds 3 hrs....once the display is lit you can see battery percentage dwindle....

Display is usually set to medium brightness and autobrightness tested both on and off.

Using stock with clean flash of Marshmallow....
[Nexus 6  General] MysticKing32:
Try changing from medium brightness to about 25 percent. I usually go to the lowest brightness indoors. And I wouldn't use auto brightness. Its never given me good results
[Nexus 6  General] snoprosledneck88:
How are you guys getting 5,6, and even close to 7 hours of screen on time? I have a nexus 6 on 6.0 w/ Elementalx kernel and the battery life is really good compared to what i use to get but i would say 3.5 SOT would be about normal. I cant believe there would be anyway to nearly double that. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 6  General] Locklear308:
Interesting. Does this have any effect on performance? (Lag and such?) Blu_Spark eh? I've been using franco for a long time now...maybe it's time to switch for a while? I does Kernel Auditor only work with that kernel? I've used it before but settings never stuck lol

Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
[Nexus 6  General] BLACKSTEG:
I expected more from 3220 mAh...

i wonder how much the Snapdragon 810 will affect the nexus 6P
[Nexus 6  General] terry_mccann:
Thats what I ask myself...cant excess 3 hrs at all.
[Nexus 6  General] snoprosledneck88:
Expected more what?
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
I started getting 4+ hours after removing facebook and using some tweeks like kernel tweeks and script to remove google services.
[Nexus 6  General] Locklear308:
Well well well, I am very please so far! This is up there with the once god like OnePlus One battery life, when it first came out.

I am finally happy to have a device that can survive my usage! Woohoo! Usage has been 30 minutes of listening to music (Flac 24 bit 192khz), 1 hour of youtube on wifi, 30 minutes of youtube on LTE, some LTE surfing, 30 minutes roughly of wifi web browsing.

I hope to be able to keep this up!
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
whats your set up??

im a bit ok with my battery stats for couple of days now but im definetly more pleased with the battery life ny oneplus one has been giving me previously
