Here are my results.

Pure Shamu 3.3

SENSEI Kernel R25 233-2649

Smartmax governor

FIOPS with 1024 reah-ahead

UV -60

Screen 25% brightness

Ambient and Adaptive displays OFF

5hr45min SOT with first 8 hours of charge on mobile data. Not too bad, i think.

Had all syncing on, Location set to battery saving

2 other apps with 2+ hrs of mobile radio activity.

1.5 hrs of Pandora on mobile data

Especially compared to when i got the phone, im becoming much more pleased with the battery life of thia device
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
its so funny that I'm still chasing that 9hrs sot that I put in here about a month ago. I had it two days straight, then I updated the kernel and ROM and never saw it again. sigh, my white whale
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
Not necessarily the amount of apps, but it does depend on what is going on in the background and the more apps you have the more likely it is something is staying awake without your knowing it.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Why is G Drive using so much battery? I get 2 hours SOT and still have 70-80% battery left.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
Wow 7hrs sot… is that with data lte on all the time? Or mostly wifi on

Via my NeXus™ 7FHD on XDA Premium app
[Nexus 6  General] Jayrod1980:
I'm pretty satisfied with the phone, I just wish the standby and drain were better. My nexus 5 and the moto x were better with standby. Everything about this phone is great, they just need to patch it to fix the drain.
[Nexus 6  General] StrizzMatik:
WiFi all day. I'm lucky if I get a bar or two of LTE where I am.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
For real? Totally the opposite for me, idle drain has been excellent here, basically uses no juice for me. So much better than my n5
[Nexus 6  General] jhk0215:
Yea my standby has been great. I left it unplugged while I went to sleep and lost only 5 percent during my 10 hours of sleep
[Nexus 6  General] Harkadenn:
I think its not normal.

My buddies who own this phone tell me that their phone can easily last about a day or almost 2 days with regular use. Mine doesn't. I just finished charging it full 2 hours ago and right now is at 84% with little use.

I think I am going to change it.

I believe my Galaxy S3 battery lasted more and I even thought its battery life was way shorter than other devices.

This is really pissing me off.
[Nexus 6  General] Jayrod1980:
It's pretty good right now but that's with putting location on battery saving and having WiFi turn off when sleeping. I didn't adjust, turn off or anything on the nexus 5 and it would sleep like a baby. I'm out in Korea getting LTE-A and have solid signal. It's clear from these posts that there's a bug with hangouts and other things that causes a sensor process to run constantly. Android OS will sometimes stay awake for 4 hours or more and kill my battery. With my settings right now however, I've been off plug since 3am yesterday and it's about 22 hours later and I'm over 3H sot and I still have 44% battery left. If I had left location on high accuracy, let Wi-Fi stay awake, and kept on NFC, It would probably have drained down to 15% right now. Good thing I don't need high accuracy default on location, as I can't read Hangul and Google Nav doesn't work here either.

The only thing I enjoy more on my iPhone 6 plus other than the camera is the standby battery life. Never had a problem with my last two android phones in that regard. Google needs another patch to Lollipop. Still miles better than iOS though.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Thank you shard111, solid results!

Thank you too jayrod!
[Nexus 6  General] 613BulletProof:
late response i know but yeah i DONT turn off auto sync. I constantly get emails from 2 different gmail accounts set up on my phone. i hit just over 6 hours yesterday as well, same settings, except i played some netflix.

pretty pleased so far with this rom / kernel and battery life. I manage to get AT LEAST 5 and a half hours everyday of screen time. Ok google is ON as well..
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
Sensor_Ind wakelocks seems to be solved by disabling adaptive display. Give it a shot. Not ambient display.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yes indeed, hasn't shown up in2 days for me with it off, shame though, I like how dim it got
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
Yes same here. Maybe using the Lux app will work? I've not given it a try yet.
[Nexus 6  General] UspCompact:
I've tried the lux and while it worked to dim the backlight below the phone's minimum brightness, it made the phone ridiculously hot. Disabled it and the heat went away.

Rooted, stock 5.0.1., twrp, no encryption.
[Nexus 6  General] robstunner:
This is frustrating.
[Nexus 6  General] erapmicks:
Go to developer options, untick NuPlayer then reboot. Profit
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
What exactly does this do please?
[Nexus 6  General] laureanop:
Gets rid of adspd wakelock if you have it
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Ahh okay yeah idk if I have it. Thanks

This is different than the other ind sensor thingy y'all have been having issues with, correct?
[Nexus 6  General] laureanop:
The Ind.sensor wakelock has been narrowed down to the following triggers: adaptive display, ambient display, hangouts. Members have had success taming this wakelock by toggling the first two off/on , uninstalling/ freezing hangouts or any combo of the above. Not everybody experiences this or the adspd issues
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Those of you having the hangout wakelock, is it caused by texting also or just by the hangout chat/video chat?
[Nexus 6  General] r0cafella:
Texting is enough to set it off.
[Nexus 6  General] nrjun:
This normal with location set to battery saving? Also i have auto backup on..only during device charging tho..what am i doing wrong?
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
I tend to get Google play services higher when I disable location, like as if it is still trying to call out but not getting a response. I have disabled the keep awake in app ops for it. This is really driving me nuts as it's hurting my standby drain
[Nexus 6  General] nrjun:
Ikr? But it was fine when I turned location off tho..but shouldn't the baterry saving location.. Be battery saving? :/
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Thanks for the explanation
[Nexus 6  General] umair shaikh:
Battery drops from 94% to 79% during night ??? What to do ??? Am very concerned abt my battery now.should i flash any kernel ??? Am using RR rom
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
I am very pleased with the battery on my Nexus 6.

For my specific setup and usage pattern, I got more than 35 hours usage with 5 - 5.5 screen on time.

40% adaptive brightness.

Facebook, Google+, WhatsApp, SMS, a bit of calls, and few other apps (Diaro, Calendar, Play Store, etc.). 3 Google accounts.

GMails are not synced, because I can simply refresh if I want to get the latest email.

Google+ is not synced, Facebook is not synced, with the same reason, hit the refresh, wait few seconds got all the latest :)

I only sync normal stuffs, contact, calendar, Keep, Drives, etc.

Nova launcher with dark material wallpaper, black app drawer background, dark icon label.

And still stock + encrypted, but unlocked. I don't see any problem with performance, at all.

It's more than 100% increase from my Nexus 5!
[Nexus 6  General] tonystarkd:
I think it is better also to specify how much percentage of the adaptive brightness.

Because you can set it to 100% or lower, like 30%.
[Nexus 6  General] pablohernancura:
Yes. I am pretty sure that google accounts syncs are the problem.

I am try everything (root, undecrypt, 3 kernels, undervolting, all setting tweaks, greenify, etc)

The ONLY thing boost me up 3,5 hs to 5,5 hs was turn off Google sync account.

I'm only sync inbox. [emoji16]
[Nexus 6  General] jackpollard:
Relax and work through finding out whats causing the drain. BetterBattery, Wakelock Detector are excellent tools. DisableService can shut down the processes when you find them. Greenify is always a great tool. Turn off location services, adaptive brightness, etc. Then give it a few days. Lean kernel has worked wonders for me, its a stable and supported kernel, I had similar issues and now I'm still like 50% at the end of my day, which is great.

Also, I refuse to cripple my phone for battery life, but the above process and kernel worked and I still have all my functionality turned on.
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
Mine is 40% adaptive brightness
[Nexus 6  General] erakjaswal:
Managed to get 2.5 hrs more...

Yes the battery drain issues are a big pain considering the fact that google has adopted this to be a standard for its nexus devices say nexus 5 or nexus 6. The recent 5.0.1 update did improve the battery time on nexus 5 but it adversely affected nexus 6 battery. even in standby its draining faster than usual, and while in use the obvious.. There are a lot of apps that allows you to stop and avoid background apps from starting over again and again but they require *root and i'm not doing it till more developers get their hands on N6. So i tried to resolve this issue for the time being as i feel bad when my wife comes back home with 30 % battery and me with 9% ( i actually ordered the nexus 6 for her but the greedy side :p :D of me saw the qHD display , and i did got my sim cut to micro and now can't use back in any :( ).

1)

Turned off the auto sync

for most of the accounts including google. ( Dont get email notis now but i manually check them )

2) Developer options > Apps > Dont keep activities ok and Background process limit = 2

3)

Installed an app Pixel Battery Saver

- It says it turns off half of the pixels ( Isn't the ambient display the same thing ?? So i did take a shot on this app for that,, also im doubtful whether it will have any adverse effect on the display hardware)

4) GPS = OFF always ( 1.5 HR of nav battery drained to 35 % ) Battery HOGGGGG...!!! >:(

5) Also i noticed that the as you keep on opening the apps and leave them the material design quick view which u get by touching that square the list just keeps on adding up.... it doesnt erase the old ones.... i mean it will be somewhere in the background adding up and consuming the memory in the bacground. So i keep on removing them time to time.

Well damn i wrote that much and damn am i doing that much to save my battery juice.... Google Plz have a look at this... what we all are suffering from.... we say we get mobility from these devices, but the truth is we do but at the cost of a constant fear of not being near a charging plug and in N6 case a turbo charger.... :crying:

Peace... X
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Which things did you remove from sync?
[Nexus 6  General] pablohernancura:
Almost everything from google. Only keep inbox, google Keep, contacts.

Facebook and the rest, like whatsapp, twitter are sync on.

I recommend you download Autosync 2. You can customize sync times.
[Nexus 6  General] erakjaswal:
Along with that ill recommend you to try Pixel Battery saver. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.poveu.pixelbatterysaver&hl=en . It says it turns off the pixels. Can you too try and tell the results.
[Nexus 6  General] pablohernancura:
Ok.

Wich one of all this help you more with battery life??

-kernel with UV

-autosync (reduce sync times)

-pixel battery saver

-greenify

-some ROM

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
Well, I was facing sensor_ind issue all of a sudden. I tried disabling hangouts, but didn't help.

I realized that I had enabled root companion for gsam battery monitor. I removed it, and now don't have sensor_ind.
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
lol wouldn't it be funny is the wake lock detectors you guys are using is causing the sensor_ind issue. chuckle worthy
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
random: I felt like turning on battery saver and taking off Wi-Fi/data, and as expected, 0% drain over a few hours in deep sleep.

it felt good to see, tonight I'll try alternating between leaving data/Wi-Fi on and battery saver to see which does more damage to deep sleep drain
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
It would honestly be hilarious lol
[Nexus 6  General] :
2014 and not getting great battery life? Should of got a 6 Plus or Z3 guys. No problem with those two so far. Was interested in this but cant be bothered to worry about battery life again on a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] pablohernancura:
Is 2014 and your z3 don't have lollipop int'l 2015 and your 6+ need jailbreak...
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
LOL this would be massively hilarious! All of those who were having sensor_ind please report back as whether you had this installed or not. I haven't installed it again since the last flash and I have not had the wakelock... Coincidence? I think maybe haha.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Getting my 64gb T-Mobile edition tomorrow

What do I have to look forward to coming from an m8 converted to gpe?
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
Had some time over Christmas to push my nexus 6, this was on WiFi and in an area with very poor mobile reception. Usage was downloading about 1.2gb of shows on iPlayer, watching a couple of them, Tapatalk, Facebook, no gaming. Currently on SlimLP with Leankernel 1.3, no over clocking or under volting.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I don't have gsam wakelock detector
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings over a phone? Need to grow up a little. Lollipop I have if you read up what Sony offer. Also the 6 Plus doesn't need a jailbreak it's perfect as it is and just works. From what I'm reading about the Nexus 6 it doesn't. I'm sure you'll have another immature response. Take it easy Mr keyboard warrior.
[Nexus 6  General] flyinj54:
It's a nexus! What more is there to say. The way Google intended it. Not to mention no limitations on what you can do with the device. Fastboot flash fastboot unlock. I came from my m8 myself great device but I'm extremely satisfied with my Nexus and happy I upgraded. it took me just a few hours to get used to the screen size but now I never would go back to the small five inch screen. I love the size of the Shamu lol

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

I'm loving my Nexus. No complaints whatsoever. No problems getting through a full day without a charger with plenty of battery left. Not to mention the turbocharger is just badass. I haven't used the Sony device since they've been limited in the States but I do hear they are nice and developer friendly. My brother-in-laws got the iPhone 6 and he loves it and it seems nice I'm just more of an Android guy myself
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
lol @ "it just works". it's 2014 and people are still using that line?

anyway I have no problem with your opinions, I just wonder why you're here. this isn't a forum of people saying they have bad battery life, they're trying to figure out how to get even more. just like any device, battery life varies. look at this g+ poll --> https://plus.google.com/107117139503551574382/posts/PPRQwh6wx2b

either way, the technical people in this forum enjoy looking for ways to get even more out of their preferred device. hopefully you find the one just right for you
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
furthermore, the purpose of this forum is to find ways to consistently get gaudy battery results like these. do you have any thing positive to offer us?
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
That's bloody impressive!! What are you running bro?

Do you guy's think double tap to wake would cause sensor_ind wakelock?
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
I shared it in this forum a couple weeks ago. easier to find my g+ post to reshare though. mentioned what I was using at the time in the comments

--> https://plus.google.com/107117139503551574382/posts/AYd3tASPWXo

but to be honest it was irrelevant. I was able to get these results for two days straight, then I flashed the update to the kernel and my max sot dropped to like 6 and a half lol. going back didn't help either. but reading this forum and more kernel tweaks, I'm definitely getting it back up there. the fight continues lol
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
worth a try since I use the hangouts dialer for all incoming and outgoing calls lol
[Nexus 6  General] IVIanuu:
Do you disable system apps or is it unnecessary?
[Nexus 6  General] rubik:
My improvement

I was having really ****ty battery like everyone else. Phone would be taken off the charger at 8am and would only last till 5-6pm at most before it would be completely dead. I then installed Greenify as suggested and hibernate all the social and apps/games that i don't need constant syncing. This significantly improved my battery life, as shown in the attachment.
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
me? I'm still not sure actually, I've gotten really good life without it. I'm using the disable services app now to test
[Nexus 6  General] szucsanyi:
The same thing happened to me. I also activated Gsam root and I had 100% awake (0% deep sleep) and the sensor_ind wakelock was on the first place.

Then I uninstalled it and now I have no sensor_ind wakelock and deep sleep is also fine.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Very telling info so far. Thanks for sharing
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Ambient display off, adaptive brightness off.

Sensor.ind still kicked it randomly, kept awake all night, and no I don't have gsam
[Nexus 6  General] Remoteconcern:
Sensor ind is so frustrating. Not really sure how to stop it. It's definitely worse with adaptive display but having the feature turned off is just annoying because the minimum brightness of manual mode is so much higher.
[Nexus 6  General] Fhris:
I can't post screencaps because XDA won't let me but, i got 3 days and 16 hours at 5% now.

With 4 hours 24 minutes screen on time.

Main user has been skype (Mobile radio active) 5:41 hours... (i think this is a bug?)

Adaptive brightness on around 35% mostly used indoors.

Ambient display on.

Very satisfied with my results and expect them to get a little better once my battery is settled since i'm only on 3rd charge.

I'm a lite user my main apps are Chrome, skype, facebook (messenger), and whatsapp.

I played Dumb ways to die 2 a few minutes for a few times which eats a bit harder in battery life.

I have greenify wich puts to sleep all my apps except for adblock plus , skype and whatsapp.

Google now is off, google location is off, gps hasn't been used this charge,

About 50% of the sync options is active in accounts/google

I have been for about 70% on wifi, and that saves a LOT because in my case the mobile radio 4g(LTE) sucks the battery dry in no time,

i think it's a bug. Sometimes i restart and it's gone for a while.

Another bug in my device was the experimental NuPlayer.

It was activated by default in developer settings, with that i couldn't even get 2 days!

My device has stock android is rooted and decrypted.

Hope it helps.

Battery life was one off my bigger concerns when purchasing this device but so far i am verrrrry satisfied.

Edit: Greenify is the only battery saver used. Also not the stock saver since i don't like the ugly orange bars.

I used GSAM for monitering.
[Nexus 6  General] CornelisZ:
Happy with battery life so far.

Brightness 35% adaptive brightness on; ambient display off

Am doing a lot of e-reading and the nexus 6 is an ideal phablet for that (white text on a black background obviously :))

Unfortunately I cannot link to screenshots yet, but my uptime was 1 day 16 hours with 5 hours 45 minutes screentime. 5% left.

Haven't had issues with the phone staying awake (yet). The phone is unlocked and not rooted. Just basic 5.0.1 version.
[Nexus 6  General] Xelphos:
Mainly Netflix and YouTube.

I don't really believe those people getting 8 hours of SoT are actually using their phone much, but rather just leaving the screen on while barely using it. But that is just the way I see it.
[Nexus 6  General] Ramone360:
First time getting over 5hrs and almost 6 hrs on screen time. 50% brightness ( no adaptive) with heavy usage. Pure shamu 3.5 + stock kernel (stock!)
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Have you tried a cycle with ambient display on and adaptive brightness off? That's how I have it and haven't had the wakelock at least for a few days in a row already.
[Nexus 6  General] Fhris:
Question: where do the wakelocks light and accelerometer come from?

In 3days 21 hours it was active for 4hours 30 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] ScumDroid:
Sup guys, I don't know if this is helpful or not, but i was getting the sensor_id wakelock and disabled hangouts with TiBU, that took care of it up until yesterday night. I was playing Mickeys Castle of illusion, and i wanted the navbar gone so i didn't get screen burn. I downloaded Immersive Full Screen Mode app from the playstore to force immersive. It is enabled via the accessibility settings on the device. This morning i woke up to sensor_id wakelock keeping the device awake 100%, 0 deep sleep. I uninstalled Immersive Full Screen Mode, rebooted the device and sensor_id was gone and phone was at 90% deep sleep within 10 minutes, not sure if the 2 are related. Hope this might lead to something. Stock ROM rooted, Lean Kernel 1.3.
[Nexus 6  General] blair287:
You got your wifi on all the time that doesnt help go to advanced in wifi then turn off allow google to use even when off improved my note 3 batter life on CM12 by double when not being used.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Sensor_ind has been a non factor for me since turning off adaptive display. I have ambient on. Still Google services was being really aggressive even when I wasn't using the phone. Looks like it was location history DUH. after turning it off I'm on my way to they best battery life I've had. I usually average 4-5. But I'm on pace for 6+hours today. I noticed after turning off location history, the power manager service wakelock is very low. It's usually top two with power manager service display.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I'm gonna try that combo now, having adaptive display off helps no end, sometimes I still get the wakelock though, will leave ambient on too now and see if it goes completely
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
me being one of those who got 8 hours, you're wrong. endless hangouts, g+ and XDA usage. and a whole heap of chrome when I got my best results

but anyway another suggestion for you guys that so far seems to make a difference for me, when charging overnight, use a non turbo charger. it seems to drain slower after a long slow charge. love for you guys to test and confirm

also don't clear apps from recents. test one full day of leaving all your most used apps there and not using the back button every time to exit. phone has a lot of RAM. enjoy it
[Nexus 6  General] oversleeper:
I'm not happy with the battery life... In 2 hours I just used 40% of battery, just messaging once in a while and playing candy crush for 15 minutes. Definitely not good for a 1 week old phone.
[Nexus 6  General] eliashadow:
Guys the fact is that we have nexus and we must all agree that out of box the battery sucks. For my opinion google/motorola have made a failed. A such big Hq screen needs bigger battery. Nexus have almost the same battery mAh with the other flagships and for example Mate 7 with 6" has 4100mAh battery with fhd screen. But no company wants to make the perfect phone unfortunately.

So, we can uncheck everything, uninstall lot of system apps,we can low the screen brightness etc but when the screen is on and (especially) the Google services are crazy, the battery will end quickly no matter.

And the truth is that the average of SoT is 4+ for most of the users.

I'm working in smartphones jobs and I have many friends and customers with N6 so I know what I'm saying.

Btw I'm using a custom rom near to stock and I can see better results in battery life (about 1 plus hour SoT), so anyone has a big problem with battery, he can try to play around customs cause that's one of the reasons we have nexus mates.
