Wow, that is horrible. Have you considered trying to exchange it? Cuz that is unusually bad.

Those are tough to choose between. If it were me, I'd eliminate the note right off the bat. I HATE touch wiz and the TONS and TONS of bloatware Sammy puts in their phone. As for choosing between iOS and nexus, there is one simple question: do you like to tinker with your device? Cuz if u do, then DEFINITELY go with nexus. If you just want a GREAT device that doesn't do much customization at all, then go iOS. Only exception is if you get an iPhone on iOS 8.1. It's jailbreakable on 8.1 and that will let you tinker some--still though, not go the degree of the nexus--not even close, actually.

Actually a friend of mine bought to me and brought it with him to my country, it's near impossible for me to return that phone back to google :)
[Nexus 6  General] pathtologos:
I feel for you... That sucks. There has to be something wrong with your device. A new kernel was uploaded (lean kernel) on the original development thread. Maybe give it a shot and see if it helps. Good luck!

I disabled all Systemupdate services and now my phone can at least go into sleep mode. Left it home today and it only lost 3% in 12 hours on standby.
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
You guys with horrible battery life need to do a wipe and not restore all your apps. Leave it bare minimum, and see what you get. There's probably an issue with something you're installing.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Still pulling about 4.5hrs SOT even with that nasty sensor_Ind wake lock. It comes up after awhile and I have to reboot. If I can figure that one out I know I'll get much better battery life.

I played spider man unlimited for about 15 minutes but it doesn't show up on the list.

I have adaptive display turned on at about 40% with all location turned on and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.
[Nexus 6  General] stigui:
battery screens

My battery life has been great on tmobile, screen at 50% at all times, location on, wifi always on, google now on, sync off, always scanning and nfc off.
[Nexus 6  General] stigui:
That was also with zero games, and just Facebook through browser with other web browsing, Instagram, twitter, Tapatalk, and zero books read! Stock, not rooted(waiting for Franco), all factory updated 5.0

Anyone getting 5+ hours of sot on Verizon? I get 3 or maybe 4. But less on my work days where coverage is bad.

How do you disable the system update services?
[Nexus 6  General] rustid:
I just set up my phone today. I used it way more than I have ever used a phone. I was at pretty decent brightness, but have horrible cell reception where I am at. I am on Verizon. I am super pleased overall with the battery though. I downloaded a bunch of stuff, used the screen way more than I ever have, and never felt like my battery was running low. A+++ would use again tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
Well, I am rooted and I use the DisableService app from the Play Store.

Under the System Tab, scroll down to Google Services Framework and disable SystemUpdateService.

That was the wakelock that was keeping my phone awake 100% of the time.

[Nexus 6  General] Roundabouts:
Strangely enough, when I looked at SystemUpdateService, it was already off with me doing anything.
[Nexus 6  General] JOHNGAETANO:
Day two and I'm down to 62% already after 3 hours unplugged. I'm concerned as coning from iPhone 6 plus and M8 I haven't had this quick of drain. Hopefully things stabilize in 4 or 5 days.

Update on My Battery Life

Well, guys here is another post on my Battery life, and it is awesome now.

As you can see I did not have the screen on for 6 hours of SOT last evening, but with 2.25 hours of SOT I still have well over 1 day of life left and I am nearly 24 hours off the charger (2.5 more hours till I hit 24 hours off the charger).

Here is what I did once more:

Get the following apps from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en

Now go into greenify and use the wizard, and add those that you see to greenify to have them managed. I had to disable my preferred mail app because I would get mail but the notifications were not coming in, but you can play with it for what works for you.

Now open wakelock detector and see what if anything is keeping your phone awake. Then go into the Disable service app and find those services, most likely in the system tab at the top. My big one was the google fit app/service. I found that in the system tab in the Disable service app then touched that one, and unchecked everything there.

This was all I needed to do, to get my battery to where it is, before this I would barely make it through the night (I usually charge first thing every morning while I shower), but today is the first time in a long time I have not had to run to put my phone on the charger.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
does it really charge in 15mins? it comes with the turbo charger?
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
No, it does not fully charge in 15 min.

You will get 25% additional charge in 15 min. up until you get to around 85% charge. Then it goes into the "normal" charge speed, from the "turbo" charge speed which gets you that 25% increase in 15 min. It does this to not overcharge or damage the battery.

A full charge takes about 50 min. for me, from 10% or less battery left.

Yes the Nexus 6 comes with the "turbo" charger.

Do you use hangouts for text or chat?

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

do you use hangouts for text or messaging?
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Yes and no, it depends on what I am doing. I have a way to switch my SMS/MMS app on the fly.

Why?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Earlier I prefaced my wakelock issues with a kernel wakelock called sensor_Ind. I believe it's related to Google hangouts. The wake lock only kicks off when I start hangouts. I'm using the default messaging app at the moment and haven't had this wake lock all day so far. I'm trying to see if those with great battery life are using hangouts at all. Only one other person in the thread has gotten the same wake lock as me but they haven't confirmed if they are using hangouts or messaging.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
I use hangouts exclusively. I haven't installed anything yet like gsam. I have used CPU spy though to watch deep sleep and it sleeps fine so far
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
hangouts for SMS AND messaging or for SMS only?
[Nexus 6  General] Flyview:
I am seeing this sensor_ind wakelock on my Nexus 5 running Lollipop (stock kernel, rooted) as well! What is this? It's actually keeping my phone awake for long periods of time sometimes.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Hangouts for all texting, sms and data texts aka hangouts
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Just take a look at what I posted earlier. Follow the instructions. Use wakelock detector to figure out for 100% sure what is causing it to happen. Then either use the disable service app to disable that (so it goes into hibernation), or just use greenify and put that under greenify control.

My guess is if you try this you will see a big improvement.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I know what process is the problem. I just don't know which app is calling it up, but I've narrowed it down to hangouts.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

So far I've narrowed it down to hangouts. I'm not sure what aspect of hangouts is triggering it. Right now I'm signed out of it and using messenger for my SMS and the process hasn't started up yet. Even if I use messenger for texts and hangouts for just Google chat, it kicks off that process. I've cleared cache data on hangouts and I'm going to test and see if that works in a little bit.

Also to add, I'm using the no encryption img and I'm rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] Flyview:
Yes, please keep me updated with what you find. You figure Google would at least get it's own apps/services under control! This is frustrating to deal with and completely out of the question to even track down for 99.999% of Android users.
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
That is what the wakelocks app is going to help you with. You can disable that service with the disable service app or if you want easy just use greenify to manage the hangouts app.

If it is not hangouts then the wakelock dectector app will show you, you can drill down into apps and see the service that is causing the wake lock.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Okay I'm using your wakelock app and I started up hangouts. Sensor_Ind kicked up immediately under kernel wake locks in BBS. Under your wake lock app, that process doesn't show up at all.
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
So from my poking around on the command line, it appears that sensors_ind is part of the /system/bin/sensors.qcom process and it appears to be a known battery drainer, and does not look like a fix is going to happen anytime soon... Do a Google search for sensors.qcom android and see all the issues reported over the last year.
[Nexus 6  General] kinfolk248:
anyone turning down the cpu to get better battery...?!
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Thanks for the info but it's odd some people get it and some people don't. I guess I'd better factory reset and hope I get lucky.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Yep I can almost confirm it is related to the sensors.qcom since I had the CPU processes overlay from the Dev options and the 3 highest was sensors.qcom even with all the apps closed and not doing anything on the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Yeah I find it odd as well, since I don't have the issue. I did kick off hangouts and it started, but it went away after 1 min or so. I had just enough time to figure out the parent process before it stopped.

There could be something else as well that uses that besides hangouts, since this is launched by the main sensors executable, and many things can call or use this system level service. Just a thought, without more digging.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Possibly but I literally went through all my apps one by one to see which one triggered it. Only hangouts does it. What a pain.
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
Has anyone tested the battery life results with different custom kernels?
[Nexus 6  General] k2buckley:
Well on my first full charge, I've got a little over 5 hour SOT and about 24 hours total. Not a bad start on the first cycle! I'll post screens in a little once I'm drained all the way. Still have 11% left
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
That's actually fantastic! Gj!
[Nexus 6  General] sprintuser513:
AT&T? TMobile?
[Nexus 6  General] k2buckley:
Sprint. Las vegas area. I was probably on lte 70% of the time, wifi the rest. Ambient display on. Display at about 40%. YouTube, music streaming, xda browsing, Web browsing, and general learning the new phone. I'm impressed thus far.

Btw, how do you screen shot? Couldn't figure it out quick, and thought it was gonna die, so took the pics with my note 3, work phone.
[Nexus 6  General] sprintuser513:
hold power+ volume down for a brief period of time.. Thank you for the response!
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
my phone shows 86% Awake due to sensor_ind 10h37m x1...gee wiz i wish i knew what was causing it and this is after a factory reset.
[Nexus 6  General] obsanity:
My recent time. Stock, non-root but decrypted. Adaptive display on with the slider at around 45%.

Also, a lot of people are posting images with battery saver on. I want to point out that at no point I turned the battery saver on.
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
i'm going to attempt to uninstall hangouts and see if this is causing my drain as well. sensor_Ind has been active for over 10 hours today .
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Uninstall and reboot.
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
alright rebooting now. I will add i have switched to an AOSP rom based on LRX21V and am still having this after a complete wipe.
[Nexus 6  General] pathtologos:
I downloaded the app and when I went to services, the systemupdateservice was already unchecked. Am I supposed to check it?
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
I have a 2013 MotoX and had a nexus 5 and when kit Kat came out it was causing all sorts of issues. Some people still haven't figured it out. I narrowed it down to apps that haven't been updated since for that update. Worked well for me and I still have some of the best battery life with that phone. I'm actually beating many of you as well. I'd recommend going through your apps list and removing any apps that haven't been updated since lollipop release. Should help many of you. Good luck
[Nexus 6  General] dmeadows013:
Rooted, stock, decrypted, greenified

First full charging cycle... Really good coming from the N5. Mostly all screen on time, about an hour of music streaming with screen off, and 45 minutes of YouTube. Gonna see how the standby time is tomorrow. Hope to get similar results.
[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
Check it, then uncheck it again.
[Nexus 6  General] spridell:
Anyone have any suggestions to this?

I have both Note 4 and Nexus 6 with same exact apps installed. The Nexus is draining much much faster. I basically just let my Nexus sit on my counter and I got these results.
[Nexus 6  General] dawheat:
What are you doing when the screen is on? My 2nd battery drain after screen is always the app I'm using, normally my browser (around 20%) Your stats and others are odd in that the screen is on for large periods of time but you don't seem to be doing anything.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Not quite true, i do a lot of XDA broswing, twitter, FB ,whatsapp, Google+ , youtube.. but those never show in my list either.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Man that's rough. I can't seem to figure it out and if a factory reset won't work, that leaves me out of ideas.
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
well so far last night since the reboot & uninstallation of hangouts it hasn't cropped up. But today is just starting for me and about to go off the charger so we will see how the day fairs. Interesting thing to note. Apps that like to keep the mobile radio active? I've greenified them but they continue to use the radio for hours past what i actually use the app even though greenify says its hibernating them.
[Nexus 6  General] obsanity:
Then the app you're using is very inefficient. With that run I was mostly on G+ and this forum. Watched a few YouTube videos and some texting. They were all well below the top items.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
for me it's JUST hangouts. If i don't use it all day and make sure i'm signed out so that no one can message me I'm gold. I can go about my business.
[Nexus 6  General] dawheat:
I'm not questioning your stats - it was just more of a surprise for me as clearly our SOT have dramatically different scenarios. Basically I think this just reiterates why battery stats can never be compared across users b/c it's impossible to compare usage.

When my screen is on, I'm generally doing something that will drain data. Actively browsing is probably 60-70% of my screen on time. So with 4.5-5 hours of screen on time, that's normally about 3 hours of constant downloading, scrolling, etc - the phone is never just sitting on the same screen. All browsers generally drain at the same rate for me (I have Chrome, AOSP, and Boat browser) - though Chrome is my daily driver.

Your stats showing 6 hours of screen on time and the only app in your top 5 being Chrome at 4% is basically the opposite scenario. Having the G+ app open explains it. Relatively static content and low data refreshes would be pretty efficient. Same when watching movies with lots of dark colors - my SOT skyrockets in efficency.
[Nexus 6  General] DualSportDad:
Is hangouts causing huge battery loss? I've had the phone for a week and can't get past about 3 hots screen on time. I do use fit app and hangouts. Not sure why I'm getting sick bad battery life compared to everyone else. I need to figure this out before my return deadline.
[Nexus 6  General] noxaro:
3.30 hours sot on lte..hmm

I get 2.30 hours of lte with my s4 mini...if nexus is gonna work at least 4-4.5 it's ok..gettin mine next week
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
I always use hangouts for chats all day and yesterday I had almost 6 he's awake because of sensor_Ind. But I had 26hrs uptime and 6hrs sot so.. But someone please try to uninstall and check again to see if they get it. Currently I'm testing an aosp ROM so I'll check and see if I have it here also.

Edit: still there smh ?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Hangouts is part of the cause. I factory reset and the only thing I installed was the updates to the google apps on stock lollipop, supersu and BBS. hangouts was fine. sensor_ind would kick up when using it but it would stop when hangouts wasn't in use. I monitored it through out and sensor_ind was behaving and going to sleep when hangouts was not in use. I installed netflix and watched for about 15 minutes. sensor_ind was still behaving. I decided after a few hours it looks like my issue was gone. i went ahead and installed the rest of my apps. Lo and behold after everything was downloaded, the issue came back. So hangouts may be the initiating app, but it's another app that holds the sensor_ind open. I went through uninstalling 2-3 at a time and seeing if that fixed the issue. I uninstalled, let the phone sleep and then wake it and see if sensor_ind was still running. It was still running so then I'd reboot and see if a reboot would fix it after app uninstallation. That process took awhile so I went ahead and uninstalled all the apps that i downloaded via the playstore. rebooted and now the issue isn't persisting.

cliff notes: Hangouts starts the wakelock, but another app is holding it open. I'm going to have to go one by one and install each app and see which one is holding it open. It took too long to go reverse.

The good news is that if you're experiencing it right now that it appears to be reversible w/o a factory reset. I'll update my findings and i hope others update as well.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Yeah a factory reset will not do anything. I had to do a complete reflash earlier so I started from scratch and I have it again so.
[Nexus 6  General] XERO_Racer:
Satisfied with my battery life atm, after coming from the G2, just got this device a few days heres what i got going, couldve possibly get between 6.5 to 7h of SOT if i went further

Stock ROM

Rooted, Decrypted, Unlocked

Adaptive Brightness and Ambient Display On

Location and Auto Sync On

Using Hangouts and Facebook Messenger

Facebook auto sync was on

Few text messages here and there

Few phone calls

A lot of web browsing

Played few youtube videos using the dual speakers

On Wi-Fi most of the time, went on LTE for about an hour
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Very nice xero. I've found that the last ~10% gives me ~1hr and 15min sot on average. It really sips the juice it seems. This is with battery saver off.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
when you did a factory reset, you didn't restore your apps did you? All i did was install BBS and supersu and that's it.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Installed fresh all apps
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Try to install nothing but BBS so you can monitor it from the barest installed apps. It was working for me. It's come back again so just uninstalling all the apps isn't going to fix it. It looks like once it's broken it's broken. I'm about reset again but from my testing a reset works fine until whatever app that's installed breaks it.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

haha..give me a list of your apps so I know what i can install that won't give me my sensor_ind issue. At least it'd be a good test for me.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Hmmm I used disable service to disable the video chat service in hangouts and I'm not seeing the sensor_Ind anymore so far! Try this out and report back!
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I'll try in a few hours. Got something to do tonight. I hope you're on to something.
[Nexus 6  General] mysterioustko:
Thus far, I am for the most part satisfied with the Nexus 6's battery life. It isn't phenomenal (as I'd hoped), but it definitely gets the job done.

On the day in these screenshots, I was about to go 17+ hours on a charge, with more than 4 hours of screen time, along with almost 2.5 hours of talk time. All of this while being in a low signal area (65% time without signal).

I had GPS, bluetooth, and wifi all turned on. I also had ambient display (with approx. 40% brightness), always listening (OK Google), and Google Now turned on. Gmail is set to sync 4 different email accounts, with 10-20 emails coming in each hour.

Note: I am running stock, encrypted, no root.
[Nexus 6  General] XERO_Racer:
Nice! I never have battery saver on at all unless its "needed" I was really weary about the battery life till i found about decryption, it really does wonders, even with encryption its still good but this is more than enough for my needs!

Haha, I only have is just the standard out of the box apps that came with the phone, then i D/L Facebook and Zedge(Ringtones), Facebook messenger, Light flow, and noLED

Which btw, off topic, does anyone have issues with NoLED? i did notice sort of a battery drain with it due to just lighting a few pixels? its not significant went from 100 to 90 but i did notice my SOT was 1h and 15 mins and i just left my phone by itself and i took a nap
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
What i have found out today..

1) Without Hangouts the (sensor) drain is non existent

2) I still have one other and that has to do with (system adspd) which had audio on for 12h 45m 59s ALSO the exact same timing that shows the Phone Radio being active. which shows included processes as adspd, mediaserver, *wakelock*

3)With that said so far today has been light usage. I am at 77% with green signal 75% of the day and 25% in the yellow @ 1h 28m screen time...I think if i could kill this persistent "adspd" i could achieve what i would call acceptable battery drain.

Does anyone know anything about this adspd? Is it what's used to be named mediaserver?

Conclusion for me is System (ADSPD) has something to do with the mobile radio staying active the entire time. Wakelock Detector does not see it.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
This is good stuff you guys have been coming up with I'm impressed. I've had mine since launch morning and besides the first cycle, I have yet to experience less than 6hrs SOT in a full charge. I think that is great. Makes me look forward to what may come from these battery guru's who obsess. Ocd can be a good thing!
