How can one lower or better yet figure out exactly what is keep over-counted battery higher than it should be? Like on my G2 I could have data and wifi off and not use my phone for 5-6 hours before dropping 1%, on my N6 it's 3-4 hours before going down to 1% and I'm pretty sure it's due to over-counting/misc in battery stats. Thank you.
[Nexus 6  General] illcat2000:
Market services they were the culprit killing my battery when it was and wasn't in use try the mod in the other post it dramatically increases battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] bigsnack:
How do I lover market services? And what other thread?
[Nexus 6  General] illcat2000:
Look up reduce Google play battery drain script its in the general forum. I'd link it buuuuuut ya know.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I usually get 5-6 hours on my nexus 6. Everything on including high accuracy. Coming from my past phones, I'm totally happy. Just a great phone. I rum mostly stock. Sometimes rooted. Minimal apps. I turn off what's not ever used. I'm happy
[Nexus 6  General] bigsnack:
I take this also works with the new google play, and Marshmallow?
[Nexus 6  General] illcat2000:
Yes it does I am on the latest and it works fine .
[Nexus 6  General] thePman:
I always get a full day from a single charge, I don't watch many videos or play games but still I was surprised given the size of the thing. The Marshmallow update definitely helped, too. No idea why. Roll on the 6P - I neeed that fingerprint recognition!!
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Got a new personal best today. 5 hours of screen on time with 50% left running my "super battery saver" setup. I did have to make a lot of sacrifices to get this, though (underclock, disable everything, etc).

Anyone who thinks this is fake can **** off.
[Nexus 6  General] EAK128:
I don't know if anyone is interested in this, but I'm temporarily using another phone for the moment and wanted to test the doze on the N6... No sim, pure nexus ROM, WiFi on the whole time. Been sitting on the desk most of the time.

[Nexus 6  General] harkirat01:
Here are some screenshots for my phone's battery consumption. Kindly help me analyse what more can be done to increase the battery life. I am currently using ElementalX kernel with stock ROM and I had my phone running on power saver mode (running 2 cores only) for the entire time frame. I have location settings disabled, Gmail sync disabled, brightness at 10%, adaptive brightness disabled, ambient display disabled, was on WiFi for almost the entire time except for an hour maybe. Also I am using Greenify (free version) and have a few apps hibernated.

Let me know if I need to share more details. Thanks in advance!

I'm very pleased with battery on X. I took the T-Mobile ota. Disable what I don't need. Leave WiFi, high accuracy, and everything else on. Lasts all day. Brightness 50%
[Nexus 6  General] Flow39:
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday, unlocked the bootloader and immediately flashed the MRA58R 6.0 image. The radio image is horrible! My 2014 Moto X with nearly the same radio setup gets better signal in the same areas of my house. The radio will continue to switch signal strength, even when sitting still and will constantly drop connection altogether. I believe this drains quite a bit of battery on standby. I can only get about 3.5-4 hours of SOT with it. Should I be getting better battery life? It is only the second day and I have heard that after the 6.0 update it will take a couple days (possibly a week) and some charge/discharge cycles to get the phone broken in. Is that correct?
[Nexus 6  General] Not_A_Dev:
My stats after 4 charge cycles, stock Android.
[Nexus 6  General] Flow39:
That's impressive! 6 hours is what I'd like to get. Currently sitting at 34% after 2.5 hours SOT. I think it may be because of the crap radio image 6.0 has at the moment. Do you think my build (MRA58R) is what's causing the problem or do you think it just needs a couple days to settle down?
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
normal usage

minimal os
[Nexus 6  General] Not_A_Dev:
I could be wrong, but if memory serves, I thought I read somewhere that the radios of the 58N and 58R builds are identical. The new Fi and TMO builds (58X) apparently have different radios. So, I'd give it a few days.
[Nexus 6  General] Flow39:
I'm on T-Mobile right now. I flashed the factory images so I could run 6.0 early, but now apparently the OTA for T-Mobile is coming out and I would have to revert back to 5.1.1 to get the MRA58X build for the new radios.

I'll wait it out a few days and see what will happen. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] Not_A_Dev:
Right, another reason to wait a few days might be that there is some chatter about Google releasing 6.0.1 next week. And perhaps, there will be a TMO flavor of that as well. So much for MM being a unified OS...
[Nexus 6  General] vista1984:
Anyone habe the fix for the high battery drain when connects to moto 360 1st gen?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] IOmega666:
Anyone that now has a Nexus 6P and can compare? I have a brand new Nexus 6, took advantage of the Black Friday from Amazon and snatched it at 199U$S but now I'm wondering how the 6P stacks against the 6 in the battery department, what do you guys say? Are they equal? 6P is better? 6 is better? I can live without the fingerprint scanner or the upgraded camera but the battery has to stand up!
[Nexus 6  General] bigsnack:
Well 6P should be a little better as the display is a little smaller, and battery is about 200mah larger if I am not mistaken. Can't speak for the display efficiency, but if I remember correctly the 810 is also better than the 805 when it comes to efficiency as the 810 is a 20nm cpu vs the 805 being a 28nm.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Just got my N6, this is my second full discharge. Not bad. About the same really though as my M8 and Moto X.

(I'm stock MM and rooted. With ElementalX. I'm thinking of getting rid of double tap to wake option from kernel, see if it improves or not. On N5 it was a mega drain, not sure it's as bad on the N6. I think lightflow is a hefty drain too. Got rid of it half way through those screen shots.)
[Nexus 6  General] Red.Man:
After 10 months with normal usage my N6 battery is very bad. About 2hours SOT (surfing Fb, web, 10-20 mins playing clash of clans), lost 7-8% through the night even with Doze (3-4% before)... :(
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
congrats darth
[Nexus 6  General] the_Unknown-guy:
same issue here.. Battery drain is horrible.. im getting just a mere 3hrs SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] jigsawmv:
Running PN Rom and HellsCore Kernel I am able to get around 5 hours SOT per charge, but I still feel that I can get more from my device
[Nexus 6  General] -ErrorFile-:
I'm using the stock 6.0 and SOT average is 4 hours and 6 minutes. Maximum SOT is 6 hours and 1 minute according to GSam Battery Monitor. No battery drains, except if I open a certain background image app (OGQ's Backgrounds HD) it will drain about 30 % in just a few hours. Once I realized to force close the process after checking what consumes so much battery and kept making the phone hot (and even laggy!) - no problems anymore.
[Nexus 6  General] the_Unknown-guy:
What apps do u force close? And how do u fc? I mean u practically go to each apps page in settings ?
[Nexus 6  General] -ErrorFile-:
Android's own battery stats will show the apps which used battery the most. Using that, I just noticed that somehow that wallpaper app had used 27 % already. That wouldn't otherwise caught my attention if I didn't know that I only opened it, downloaded one new wallpapers and then closed it. Battery stats showed that the app had been more than 3 hours active while I only used it for about few minutes. My phone was heating up and battery was quickly drained for 27 %, I didn't even use it much during that day. Pretty simple what caused those things, since the phone started to cool down and the weird lag went away.
[Nexus 6  General] heenryy:
I have very bad battery life too maximum 3 to 4 SOT I use adaptive brightness at 1/3 of the bar maximum. I use the phone over pure wifi. I have my moto 360 connected via Bluetooth and I just use the phone for WhatsApp facebook and rarely web browsing. that's what angers me the most. According to battery usage graphs the screen doesn't even consume 1000 mah when the battery is around 10% left.

Loving my battery life with this phone. This was after a full days work and I use my phone allot for GPS and other activities all day. Just thought I would show you guys my results. Also there is no WiFi at my work.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I think that's about what it should get. Mine is very similar to yours. Love this phone
[Nexus 6  General] the_Unknown-guy:
Plz help.

Look at the screenshots i posted. Why the hell is this happening with my device? Can someone please explain?

Thanks

Im on stock 6.0 bootloader locked

Build number is MRA58N.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Its going off the average and with only that little bit of time used it is assuming that is gonna be the norm. Check it again later in the day. Also it is known that all the FB apps are huge battery hogs (whatsapp) Mainly when it seem you dont really have a strong signal as one SS shows no data connection at all
[Nexus 6  General] the_Unknown-guy:
i do use clash of clans and whatsapp heavily. is that the only thing causing the battery drain? and yes in the 2nd ss i had disabled data.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Well considering that will keep your screen on alot then yes. Whatsapp is a known battery drainer as are all apps owned by facebook. (one of the reasons most people have stopped using it. Among other reasons. At least in the states) That is most likely reading it as you would always using it so you will get about 4 hours of screen on time.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
This means nothing. It's been on battery less then a half an hour. Playing games drains the battery. They also say Facebook too drains battery but not for me. After more than two days, it's on 1%. But I keep my phone in airplane mode during the night, it's my alarm clock, keep it beside my head, so I prefer it with radios disabled.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Here's what battery life is like (for me) on the N preview. I'd say it's about average. Not as good as Marshmallow (for me), but not absolutely horrible either.

I am completely stock with no root/other mods and about 5 apps in addition to the ones that come preinstalled. I have every feature enabled, including all touch sounds/vibrations, location, and "OK Google" detection.
[Nexus 6  General] poncespr:
ViperAtmos Audiophile ROM with Elemental X kernel with a couple of tweaks. It was closer to 7 and 1/2 hours sot, as the last hour was just a screen test program. But the rest was mostly web browsing with everything on except for Bluetooth, and brightness set halfway with adaptative on.
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
What Elemental X kernel tweaks did you do?
[Nexus 6  General] poncespr:
I underclocked cpu to 1958, undervolted globally 30mv and reduced screen off cores to a maximum of two.

That's it. Everything else is stock Elemental X 3.11.

I see absolutely no lag and since Nexus phones are pure stock, it feels pretty normal to me. I mostly do web browsing and Netflix/Hulu so there is that. Maybe gamers will not like the underclocking performance hit. But for me, the sot gain overweights any minimal performance issues.

I will post if I notice any detrimental effects, but so far, so good.

Btw, these kernel/rom/settings fixed overheating problems I had with Google Cardboard.

[Nexus 6  General] jcrompton:
Where / how did you set Max screen of cores to two?
[Nexus 6  General] seabro01:
Pure Nexus layers and ElementalX. Usually get 7+ hrs SOT over full day with mixed WiFi and data. I can go 24-36 hrs between charging with more moderate use.

ElementalX setup: default min and max CPU, interactive gov, increase GPU min, 1497 CPU boost
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got over 6 hours SoT always, any rom. Then I got a Moto 360 and its down to 4.

Oh well, love my watch. :)

I removed encrypted phone and this gives me 5 hours of screen.

I want to know if you have encrypted phone?

It possible that my battery is damaged?
[Nexus 6  General] :
5 hours is respectable. :good:

Can't speak on encrypted, never tried it. But I'd say your battery is fine.
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
I just bought my N6 used. It came with the latest dev preview.

I average about 2.5 days on battery with an average of 5.5 hours SOT. At about 75% wifi, 25% 3g (yes, it's fast enough for me). I have dozens of apps installed. I use adaptive brightness at about 20%. I don't use social media apps, but all of my Gapps sync. I search a lot, text a lot through Hangouts and have the occasional call. I use Search, Chrome, Feedly, Pocket and Kindle every single day. When I'm out, location is on (Battery) and occasionally I use GPS to get around.

So far, I'm happy. If the final N build has this kind of battery life, I'll be content for a few years.
[Nexus 6  General] AstroDigital:
How long should the battery last ? It may just be me but now that my device is almost 2 years old I swear the capacity is not what it used to be.

What does the battery lose in capacity typically 10% a year ?
[Nexus 6  General] :
My S2 still has amazing battery life, for an S2. :)
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
Generally speaking, current lithium ion battery tech has a full charge cycle life of about 500 before degradation. So depending on how hard you use your device and how many full charges it has received in two years, you could be seeing less than optimal battery life in that time. Think about it this way: If you use your device really hard throughout the day and have about 20% left in the evening and charge it every night before you go to bed so that it's ready for another hard day tomorrow it would reach this theoretical degradation point in about 600 days, or 1.6 years.
[Nexus 6  General] iluvatrix:
What if we end the charging at 97% would this be considered as 1 charge cycle?
[Nexus 6  General] cameraddict:
If you started charging at 20% and stopped at 97%, you have 77% of a complete charge cycle. Do the math and you'll see that in this case, if you do this every day, you will get about 915 charges, or about 2.5 years.

Note, this doesn't mean that your battery will become useless after 500 cycles. And this number is an average, yours may be better or worse. It just means that after about this point, you may no longer receive the full capacity of the battery. You may not even notice any real world difference for a while after this. But.... I have had lithium ion batteries suddenly go belly up and barely hold 25% of their original charge. (this was in a camera not a phone)
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
I don't understand why people hate the battery life on N so much. This is better than I got on Marshmallow. It's not amazing, but it got me through 15 hours of browsing the web with Tapatalk/Chrome, Google+, Google Play Music, Snapchat, tons of texting, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] mwebb34:
Hey guys, I bought my nexus 6 from a guy on swappa. I love my phone,only thing is a charger didn't come with it. I bought this charger. It charges the phone but I don't think its turbo charging. Is there any way I can tell if turbo is working?

[Nexus 6  General] andrewjt19:
Is touch boost gboost? I'm using Elite kernel.

tApPeD fROM mY nExUs 6
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
That's something entirely different. Are you using Kernel Auditor? There should be a setting somewhere for "touch boost" or "input boost" or something along those lines.

There's 2 parts to it: the CPU frequency and the duration. Set the frequency to 0MHz and the duration to 0ms. Setting the duration to 0ms probably isn't necessary after you've set the frequency to 0, but I do it anyways.

[Nexus 6  General] halon17:
After some tweaking midway thru yesterday my NexSix shut off with almost 5hrs SOT. I'm hoping for close to 6 if not 6 today.
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
For me and I'm sure most others.. It all comes down to the screen brightness. At about 50-60% I'm in the 5 to 5.5 hour SOT range. If I lower it to just a little under 50% I'm up to 6 hours SOT.

I basically just play around and see what I can get, I'm very happy with the battery life either way. Seems you should be too.
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
I'm satisfied with battery life so far.

Manual brightness about 40%. Location on, Gnow off, maps(gps) for 40 min. Google play music for 1hour on mobile radio. Majority of time on LTE.

Edit: disabled encryption!
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but the Google fit service/app is one bad app for battery life.

I found it using wake lock detector, then installed the Disable service app and found the Fit service under the system tab, and unchecked everything under it. Do that and using greenify to disable other things. I have increased my battery life considerably. I am right at about 6+ hours SOT and I am finally getting 24 hours without hitting the less that 13% warning before charging in that 24 hour period.

YMMV...
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I have been right around 4.5 hours SoT before it hits the charger while I sleep overnight. I have never needed to charge it due to low battery yet before I have gone to sleep. Google Services seems to use way more battery than it should though. It's weird that services are always competing for top spot with the screen. That seems strange to me... When I work I have a lot of time where I have phone signal but no data (We have a Sprint DAS system in our hospital and for some reason there is a ton of time where there is voice but no data connection) so that might be the reason if Google is trying to sync while i have no data or something. I have disabled Fit and a bunch of other Google bloat already.

It's weird coming from my Nexus 5 that got like 2.5-3 hours SoT...

How do you use auto brightness with adaptive turned off?
[Nexus 6  General] loggainsd:
Sorry. Term confusion. Adaptive brightness is on but ambient display is off.
[Nexus 6  General] Dreadsteel:
Anyone know why the android os is using so much battery?? I always see it as one of the top 3 battery drainer. Also it is keeping the phone awake for over 3 hours each cycle for me.

I have the okay Google voice command when screen is off turned off.

Ambient display off also.
[Nexus 6  General] pathtologos:
OK, I'm attaching your request BUT I want to highlight some important points. I am NOT your average user. My SOT was spent playing games like Shadowrun returns, Nova 3, MC4, FPSE, Deus Ex Human Revolution, etc. Plus I watched about 1.5 hours of Netflix on LTE. Basically, I'm doing THE most battery draining activities you could possibly do on this device. I have gmail and yahoo mail synching, I'm using chronus, which syncs every 3 hours, plus I'm checking twitter and Facebook several times a day. I have my screen on manual brightness between 50 & 60%. No ambient display. I also keep my GPS to device only unless I have to use navigation for something (not today). I've been on LTE for this whole battery drain.

My last device was an iPhone 6 plus. Now, I'd be lying if I said the nexus 6 battery is as good, BUT it is NOT vastly worse. And with the turbo charger, I'm very happy.

You don't buy a Mustang for the gas mileage.
[Nexus 6  General] noxaro:

[Nexus 6  General] MF88:
i got my nexus 6 about 4 days ago, and i have never passed the 3 hour battery life mark

i don't know what's wrong

some friend suggested to reflash the stock rom from scratch and i did that, it gave me the results you see above, no change

if anyone knows how to fix this i would appreciate it otherwise i'm selling it

P.S: The phone is not rooted, Adaptive Display ony, with 60% brightness or less, wifi 80% of the time 20% Cellular , bootloader unlocked just for the manual reflashing purposes
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Reboot the device. I had that today and phone would stay awake always. Rebooted and its no longer appearing through the day, now deep sleeps.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It eventually rears its ugly head again but I just wanted to know what it is. Any idea what's causing it?
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
No idea. All I know is that at the same time the kernel had some high awake stats. Might be a good place to start investigating.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
When it's going I've tried to kill as many tasks as possible with nothing stopping it. Only a reboot will temporarily cure it.
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
feel your pain brotha. one day only got alittle over hr SOT fresh install. factory reset. no apps. Terrible
[Nexus 6  General] jimbridgman:
Ok, so here is what I have been getting today after making the changes I mentioned earlier today. I have had this off the charger all day and it is looking great now, and better than any phone that I have had since the HTC hero that I had, many years ago.

Here is my post saying what I have done:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57065408&postcount=284

Basically it is use greenify and use the wizard, then install wake lock detector, then also install Disable service app and on the system tab find the fit app and touch that then uncheck everything there.
