Same here. The N6 will get really dark, unlike the m8 I had. Great for nighttime.
[Nexus 6  General] ggmask:
Rofl no you don't, this phone is not capable of that kind of SOT without battery saver on full time (even then I doubt you could pull anything longer than 6). You are either misrepresenting your battery stats or are tracking them incorrectly.

Unless you're using your phone from 100% to 0% in one sitting (if that's what you meant), in which use case even the Nexus 4 could pull 6.5 hours of SOT... so it's a useless stat.
[Nexus 6  General] MultiKoopa:
Whoa. let's not get CRAZY now. That thing's battery was a piece of garbage from the get-go. :P
[Nexus 6  General] ggmask:
That wasn't an exaggeration, I had the N4 before I got the N6 and you're spot on: its battery life is abysmal. But if you charge the N4 to 100%, unplug it and immediately use it until the phone dies you could pull around 6-6.5 hours of SOT with a good kernel and ROM (I can't even remember what I was using... I think franco and mahdi at the time). It is absolutely not a real-world usage result, just a special result in a circumstance no one is ever really in.

But that's my point really, and the biggest problem with these battery threads: no one EVER reports their total uptime, they just claim to get ridiculous numbers like "6-9 hours SOT" without any supplemental data or proof. It's really dumb.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
I had uptime of 1.5 days with 6.5 hrs sot. Decent. No battery saver. My m8 would go 3 days with 7.5 sot, but that was with batt saver.
[Nexus 6  General] ggmask:
Case in point.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
great!

Excuse me? Have a look online, the 6+ is good to get 6 hours SOT. I measured it over the course of 1 day, creeping into day #2 a bit.

Have you ever lived and used a 6+ daily to get an idea of the battery? I'm not sure you have.

My Nexus 6 - in one continuous run - cannot get above 3 hours and 40 minutes of SOT running stock 5.1 and adaptive brightness with only WiFi on, zero calls, 10 text messages and no games or videos. Compared with my iPhone 6+, I get 6 hours SOT and even more if I run it continuously from 100% to 0.

There are phones out there who can get 6+ hours of SOT over two days, and even longer. The N6 is terrible compared to the 6+ in terms of battery life, from my experience with a 6+ and TWO N6 phones.
[Nexus 6  General] ggmask:
Hah! You are talking about the iPhone 6 Plus, not the Nexus 6, got it, I misread your post (this IS the Nexus 6 thread, after all). Apologies.

THAT'S more like it.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
No problem! 6+ is what I've been using, good for 6+ hours of battery life easily.

Maybe I should right '6 Plus' in future, reading through again it can be mixed up with SOT numbers when I write 6+.
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
I had a pretty good day yesterday. I guess you could call it an iPhone day. granted modified kernel and adaptive brightness.

Upon going to bed last night, set phone on charging pad and it would not kick in. Checked the status of my battery and it was showing 100%. Same upon waking. Wiped cache and dalvik, no change. Had to perform Factory reset. Running stock D build. Did not install or add anything, it just stopped showing any battery information. Will report back. T Mobile support, no help.

https://plus.google.com/+WarrenIsaac/posts/AYd3tASPWXo

this is the reason I know it can be done

tried to give as much detail as possible. and to be honest I can't even figure how I got it so high. I was able to repeat it a few times but there's been so many updates to kernels Roms and lollipop itself, that I usually max out at 5.5 mostly
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Can you tell me what are the changes you did to your phone? like settings etc.. I never get 3hr 40 min screen on time. I use greenify too.
[Nexus 6  General] bryanfritz1:
I picked up my nexus 6 last Friday, and coming from an HTC one max, I have to say I'm disappointed in battery life. Now granted its not bad but my max would go 4+ hours of SOT over a 16 hour day. I got 3:45 of SOT over a 17 hour day. I guess I was expecting that the sd805 would be more efficient and with the amoled panel it would be significantly better. Hopefully as I tweak with settings like adaptive brightness ( I don't like it), location settings, radios on and off ( I think the new LTE band may get better battery life than WiFi 5ghz), and notification settings, I can improve battery life to what this device should deliver.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Remember even though this is Amoled display it is a 2k resolution screen which is a real power drain but with all these ROMs and great kernel and your own tweaks you could get over that. I posted this in earlier threads.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
I run greenify and wakeloc detector. Greenify google playstore for sure. Was running conservative 300-2649, noop 2048, GPU 500. Adaptive brightness somewhat low. I think stock voltages that were on boot. I'm on something else now as volte would not work on it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Are you on Chroma 5.1 or 5.0.1? if you are on 5.1 how do you greenify play store? By doing so, you get your emails (gmail) regularly or you have to do it manually?

can you be more specific about conservative? I am week in this topic..

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

Thats amazing stats... can you share your setup.. I am getting approx half of your SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
If I am understanding as post correctly conservative means how the CPU is being throttled. when it is in conservative mode it kind of hesitates to increase the CPU unless it has continued demand. using this model and lowering the CPU max rate will help with battery life immensely. it's a matter of what you can live with.

Hey that setup was on Benzo ROM with the Zen kernel I was testing at that time no special tweak at all everything was default.

Stock 5.1 unrooted Moto bought on Verizon unfortunately.
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
I don't think Verizon has anything to do with the equation. I am on Verizon and sometimes get up to 7 hours. Facebook is obviously out of control and not hibernating. That for you are on FB a LOT. Using greenify and adding Facebook to the hibernation should help. You may also have an old version of Google Play services that does a lot of wake up requests. I would force the phone to the newest version if you're not there already. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/

[Nexus 6  General] dirtyjersey856:
No, paying for Verizon is the unfortunate thing.lol. I was using Greenify but since I still haven't rooted it kept waking my phone to hibernate my apps selected and would activate Google Now in my pocket. I haven't checked which PS I'm on since I just this past week updated to 5.1 so everything updated after setup. I think my battery isn't bad since updating.. it was on 5.0.1 though.

[Nexus 6  General] rehpot1:
Factory data reset and restore of all apps stopped the awake time issue.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
My battery life definitely feels like it has decreased noticeable since I updated to 5.1. The phone seems to born through its battery now, just about lasting a day, though sometimes it doesn't even manage that.

[Nexus 6  General] BennyJr:
The details you provided on your setup are astonishing.
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
As is the question asked... ;)
[Nexus 6  General] rrmzr1:
Sorry. All stock. No modifications.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Do you have any google sync off, or anything like that stuff.. or just defaults..

just installed the rom, and installed required APPs. I am asking this question because.. whatever changes I do, I am not getting more than 3.40 hours SOT. so just want to know how to get 6+ hours..
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I leave it at default and keep sync on at all times for everything. I keep location off and probably would only turn it on if I would need it for GPS purposes. I don't really game much at all my usage would be heavily on a lot of browsing from Facebook, Instagram, a bunch of tech sites that I have combined in Tapatalk including XDA, a lot of YouTube, some usage on either Netflix, XBMC now known as Kodi or showbox for show's and movie's, and sometimes streaming music from my mixtapez but all depends on the day if I'm at the gym.

I don't really play games much since it really drains the battery much more but if I do it will be mostly clash of clan and boom beach that's it and would end up with 4 hours of screen on time if I play a bit heavy.
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
Thanks for the details man. I never play games. only browsing.. some movie sites and facebook. I keep location off most of the time. but from last couple of days keeping device only. Just now installed Benzo Rom. will check how much battery life I will get with it... I will keep location off for the first test.. then may be change to device only.

once again.. thanks a lot man..
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Keep in mind that Signal (radio, 3g/lte/2g) quality/strength has a huge impact on battery life...
[Nexus 6  General] atrix4nag:
yeah.. I have 4 bars at most of the time.. I don't know how to measure the signal. Right now, my phone showing signal strength as -109 dBm 31 asu.. I hope that's a good signal.. I live in suburbs of Baltimore which has LTE service..
[Nexus 6  General] phyba:
Battery life continues to get better for me on 5.1 stock rooted and decrypted. This is with no WiFi, 4 hours and 33 minutes of SOT, 2 hours and 45 minutes of streaming music to my Bluetooth speaker and over an hour of phone calls. All on a crappy sprint network.
[Nexus 6  General] SomeArabDude:
I ALWAYS had horrible battery I have no idea why. I have wifi on at all times. No blutooth, gps, or any of that sort. I mostly play 1 game and if I watch 2 hours of netflix it mostly dies. My signal is horrible in my area so max signal I get is 1 bar or none. The MAX I have had is 3 hours SOT with this phone. I am Stock Rooted 5.1 LMY47M with franco kernel r25.
[Nexus 6  General] phyba:
Did you by chance ever run stock kernel? I was on Franco and my battery life wasn't that great and phone lagged like crazy
[Nexus 6  General] zer0xp:
Myself and a few others are still dealing with the battery drain caused by "mobile radio active" in every single app

SoT will average 2-3 hours on a good day because of it. Tried several roms, several kernels, all with the same results. Trying different modems now, and I'll report back.
[Nexus 6  General] SomeArabDude:
I actually downloaded stock franco as soon as I got the phone. Where can I get stock kernel?
[Nexus 6  General] MultiKoopa:
Really wish I could figure out these battery problems. :(
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
I thought it might be a good idea to come together and list issues we may have found.

I have to say that I love this phone.

Issues list:

1) Apps/widgets that need to access the secured/encrypted storage either crash or report that there is no sd-card, or the sd-card is unreadable.

2) The screen turn on sensor seems a little too sensitive. For instance riding in the car with the phone sitting on my leg, the screen would come on any time the road was bumpy or coming to a stop quickly.

As this will be a running list, please chip in. I am hoping we can track these as well as if fixes are released, or we decide to take them on and fix them ourselves.

I do not want any of the junk like have been in other threads about weight and size, etc. Please keep these to real issues with the phone or the software.
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
Well.... the app/widget issue is probably more of an issue with the app/widget itself requiring an update for better Lollipop compatibility.

As for the ambient display.... pretty sure they wanted it to be something that's convenient and easy to use. Not something that would require you to violently shake your phone to get it to turn on. I can pick it up off my desk without it turning on, then put it into my other hand, only letting it fall into my hand ever so slightly, and the ambient display turns on. Of course it's going to turn on if you're going down a bumpy road with it on your leg.

[Nexus 6  General] oldpreowner:
Are you charging the phone at the same time? If so unplug the phone from the charger and see if that solves the noise.
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
One thing I've noticed is that when wireless charging, when it hits 100%, it completely stops charging. You'd think this would be a good thing, but with my N5, it would drop to trickle-charge mode, but would at least keep the charging indicator active. Since the N6 stops charging completely, daydreams will stop functioning, and you'll go back to the home screen. Depending on the charge cycle, the phone may come awake or stay awake most of the night. in addition to making it worthless as a bedside clock, this also makes me concerned of burn-in. This is, after all, an AMOLED screen, which is prone to burn-in issues.
[Nexus 6  General] jonathan3579:
I will say that every now and again, my phone will make a static noise from the top speaker even though there's nothing audio playing. It did it significantly more before I installed the update and barely does it now.
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
That is odd, I have had no such issue and no noise anywhere with this phone.
[Nexus 6  General] jonathan3579:
It did it the most during setup when it was restoring my phone, then for a while before I installed the update, and barely now. I've only been using the phone about 12 hours now and I'm pulling it off it's first charge now. It may be a total non-issue but it's something I'm keeping my eyes and ears on.

This actually sounds like a hardware defect I would send back ASAP. Thank you all for posting your issues for those of us who are on the fence this helps what we maybe walking into when purchasing this device.

I have seen the restart issue once or twice and it seems like my GPS doesn't get a complete lock on me while using maps, it did at first and after 10 min or so it would no longer zoom in on you in google maps when it locked on your signal. Not sure if this is a google maps issue or a GPS issue though.
[Nexus 6  General] jonathan3579:
Well, I got mine from T-Mobile so I don't think it's just as easy as getting another one. I freaking love the phone though. My biggest and only real gripe is the button placement. I hit the volume rocker almost every time I try to do anything on it. Lol.

I have a strange issue on my device.

One day its notification diode become behave strangely. It was flashing green all the time, no matter if there is any notification or not.

Nowadays this led isn't working, even on charging. Sometimes it flashes green for a moment when the phone is charging.

Is there any fixes for this? Maybe this is a problem with quite old battery?

I tried factory reset and also changing ROM (from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1) but without any fixes.

My phone seems to be constantly awake, when I took a nap earlier the screen was off and nothing was on the entire time and the battery stats show it was awake the whole time.

I opened up Greenify and some system app called "SmartCardService" was running in the background. Anyone know what this is? I greenified it for now and it doesn't seem like it has affected anything, but the wakelocks have stopped I think.

Not used to the screen. Looks more yellow than usual, hopefully it's not defective or I'm just too used to ips screens as I believe the n6 has more warmer colors. Hopefully to be mitigated later on with color controls.

- I have the same issue with cloud print, and I am 100% sure it is just not ready for lollipop.

- I am looking into the ascending ringtone thing, as I also do not like that. We'll see what I can come up with.

- I have not had that issue even once with this phone. Keep us posted if it keeps up.

Maybe try a factory reset to see if something is just maybe off on a timeout setting or something weird like that.
[Nexus 6  General] EmperorX:
I posted the following in the Q&A and troubleshooting thread:

I've had a strange bug since I got the phone that I'm wondering if anyone else has seen (don't think it is hardware).

I can reproduce it every morning after I wake up. Conditions are as follows:

Phone is on the clock daydream while charging. I use Sleep As Android as my alarm. Every morning when my alarm is going off and I reach for my phone half of the screen is not working and or black.

I just had a recurrence of this in the xda app after I lost wifi connection and was exciting a thread (pressing the back button) during the handoff to LTE. Easy fix is to just hit the power button to turn the screen off then turn it back on. Works right away.

Anyone seen or read about anything similar?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
I haven't seen this since the galaxy nexus days. Try a factory reset, or maybe flash the images fresh.

If that does not fix it there is something wrong with the phone. It might be a sensor or something, if it is an issue with the phone.
