- stock rooted LMY48M

My battery life seems to vary a lot. Some days I'll get 6+ hours of SOT and other days I'll get 3-4 hours for some reason.

I have not. I like the interactive governor so I stick with it.

Use Kernel Auditor and go to the CPU section. Scroll down to "CPU Tunables" and select it. Look for the third item on the list called "boost pulse duration" and change it from 100000 to 50000. You have to be using the interactive governor.

Edit- I just saw that you're using M. I'm not sure if Kernel Auditor works on M or not....

The big secret to high screen on times is watching movies stored on your internal storage with the screen at low to medium brightness. If you stream movies your mobile radio is working and that's a huge battery drain. If they're stored on the phone it's like leaving your screen on and doing nothing.

I also don't use the turbo charger, I don't let my battery get below 25%, and I use a 750ma charger to charge the battery slower and to keep the battery temperature lower. These practices will keep my battery in better shape for a longer period of time.

Hi all, here is a link to my screenshots for two days off use, will take new ones tomorrow.

No games, i have a lot of awake time with screen off, a big wakelock, hope you guys will check the pictures and give me some feedback!
[Nexus 6  General] bweN diorD:
there or so many factors that contribute to good and bad battery life, its hard to cover them all, but ill hit a few key points.

1. i see some sort of sound app in your shots, are you streaming music a lot, and possibly through bt? either will eat a bit of battery.

2. i saw in one shot, a lg remote app eating a nice chunk of battery. whats that about? we dont have ir capability.

3. i noticed in many of the shots, a good bit of bad cell service. that will eat a good bit of battery.

4. i saw the google picasa icon in the status bar of a shot or 2. if you use wifi daily and especially if you have frequent bad service, set picasa to only sync when your connected to wifi.

5. i noticed the facebook app. while it seemed to be behaving reasonably, it is notorious for wakelocks and battery drain. if your not attached at the hip with it, get rid of it, or see if there is a setting to reduce synt until the screen is on or something less frequent than whenever it wants. i dont use fb, so im not sure if thats possible.

6. a couple of the google apps seemed unusually high, but if you were using them, it may be normal

7. your % per hour seems a bit high, given your screen time. your in the range of what i would have with 6-8hrs screen.

its hard to judge, even looking at screens, without knowing exactly what your doing with the phone all day. for instance, if your streaming a good bit of music, that would explain some of the wake time, and the screen would likely be off during most of it, explaining the low screen time in comparison.

i hope that helps a little, its all i got from just looking at a few pics.

Ever since the last Play Services update my battery life has been horrid. I would go all day at work with minimal usage and come home in the afternoon with about 80% battery left. Today I'm on 12 hours from charge, and minimal usage and my battery is at 34% with only 36 minutes screen on time.

I'm stock rooted LYZ28K

Google App, Google Services, Chrome, and Androis are the top users of battery charge. Screen is 3%. I'm testing various settings to see what improvements I can make, so hopefully this gets better.
[Nexus 6  General] viucorp:
1. Soundcloud it's the app, I don't use it that often, in that instance I used it for about 1 h on mobile radio.

2. Lg remote, is an app for wi-fi remote for LG smart tv-s 2013 series, I don't use that app daily. In that instance I used the app for the tv browser, on the same wi-fi.

3. Bad cell I understand, I live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, the bad cell is indoor becouse of the concret walls of the flats we live in.

I am on 3g not 4g becouse of the bad cell reception I think is better to be on 3g, what do you think?

4. It's google photos and I have it to sync only on wi-fi and while charging. I use the google photos app, to show my work to possible clients, and the big use is from fetching online photos I think.

5. I use facebook a lot and I need it for pages manager so I can manage my business page, and facebook for marketing. I don't think I can change how the app wakesup the phone, even with screen off.

6. I use the most google apps the following: inbox , gmail, photos, chorme but this are the most frecvent apps I use.

I don't know why google services uses so much battery , think it's the mobile radio wakelock that google said to have rezolved in anddroid 6.

7. I think the same and don't know why, it could be from the cellular data witch is on always.

My usual day:

I unplug the phone between 7:30-8:30, first 2 h on wi-fi, I check for new updates and that all untill I go to work.

After 2 h I go to the office that is about 15 min away by car, at the office again on wi--fi and use the phone most for whatsup and e-mail. Walk arounf town with cellular data, meetings . lunch (facebook browsing).

Around 17:00-18:00 usually I arrive home back to wi-fi, the most I could use it at home is youtube, facebook, stuff like this.

I don't stream music every day and when I do the most is 1h , I don't wtach youtube on cellulardata, etc.

Today I will use the phone as usual and take some new screenshots.

This is the second handset I have, the first I changed under the 30 days returng policy, this handset I cannot return only take it in for repair and that is not desirable!

Thanks for the reply and helpful advice
[Nexus 6  General] bweN diorD:
3. staying with whatever is strongest is the best option. if that happens to be 3g, then stay with that.

given your use, i really dont have any more direct suggestions to help you, other than trying a custom rom, if you are up for that.

i never run stock, if i didnt mention it before.
[Nexus 6  General] viucorp:
My first smartphone was galaxy s2 , rooted and with android revolution.

Then HTC one stock didn't root.

Tablet galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition , rooted for special apps like multi gesture (like iPad), 4 split screen, etc.

Now I want my nexus stock nom root at least until marshmallow comes out, I want to see the nexus experience how Google sells it(personal project) and if marshmallow is not OK and battery life is not satisfactory, will root and install custom kernel, etc.

Thanks for the advice hoped more people would try to help, you are a real sport!

Sup guys. New to the N6. Just came from the M8. Really digging this phone. As for battery life, I just got a little over 5 hours of SOT for my first cycle. :good: Was doing a bit of everything today. Watching a lot of YouTube vids, internet browsing, phone calls, listening to music through the speakers for a good 10-15 min. I unplugged it at 8 this morning and hit 1% at 11pm.

- Rooted running Pure Nexus (build 9/08 I think?) with stock kernel it comes with

- No OC or UV

- Brightness at 60%

- Adaptive brightness is off

- sync is off

- GPS in battery saving mode

- 48 apps

- No WiFi at all today

I might be missing some things but that's what comes to mind at the moment. The battery life on this phone is sick.
[Nexus 6  General] Anal_Assassin:
I just picked up my N6 used about a month ago. I immediately unlocked the bootloader, rooted and started testing custom ROMs. I have never unencrypted my N6. Through all the different ROMs & kernels I've tried thus far, I've gotten 2-3.5 hours SOT and 8-14 hours usage per full charge.

Normal daily usage:

browsing via chrome

reading forums on xda app

20-40 minutes of talk time

hangouts for messaging

NO WiFi

NO streaming video or music

GPS OFF

Sync ON

Bluetooth ON for android wear/motobody&connect

ambient, daydream, adaptive OFF

NFC OFF

Total apps installed: 151 (inc. System apps)

Currently on PURENEXUS ROM 9/17

Hydra kernel v3.0 9/16

I'm tweaking governor, I/O, hotplug tunables now and I'll report back in a few days once they've settled. I'm hoping for at least 5hrs SOT with my setup and a full days usage. I'm sick of having to plug in half way through the day.
[Nexus 6  General] mumboender:
I bought mine used on swappa and get no where near the battery life or SOT I did with my one plus or even my rooted S5... I usually get around 3.5 SOT and take it off the charger at 6 am and need to charge by noon! I have tried many roms and kernels and can't get any better... I do wonder if maybe the battery is just going bad. Currently I am on Dirty Unicorns with the Benzo kernel on conservative and mako hot plug with only two cores online and I still can't get to 4 hours SOT. I also have location at battery saving, no adaptive display and screen brightness at 40%.. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Also no ambient display and usually have sound off since I use a zen watch for notifications.. My use is some web surfing, a couple hours of phone calls and email through exchange where I do get a ton of email. Maybe a 120 a day which is why I turned off Ambient as I thought it would help things.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
What are some of your kernel settings? Max/Min. Freq? Do you need brightness at 40%? I don't know what a zen watch is, but does that require Bluetooth to be on? What radio are you currently on? Phone calls are going to use a lot of battery, as Im sure you are aware of. Im still newish to this phone, but not new to android or rooting. I feel I have done a lot of trials and errors to try to max my battery life, and thanks to the wonderful members and devs on xda, I currently seem to average about 1 hour SOT per 10% battery running android M with [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] kernel.:good:

Im not that familiar with DU and Benzo kernel....sorry

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] LGtMgG2t:
Have you used BBS to track down whats eating the battery? Or try Gsam's monitor?Wakelock detector would be good too. How is your signal where your at most of the day? Most of my problem was resolved by flashing different radios and trying them out till I found one that was easier on the battery. Also, the latest Hellscore kernel is generally giving most of us great battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
Here are some screens of my currently cycle

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] mumboender:
I generally have a good signal but I'll see about a different modem.. I also hadn't looked at wakelocks too much since my screen on time sucked but I'll spend some time on it. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out hellscore I tried it and found Benzo a bit better but maybe I didn't give it enough time.

[Nexus 6  General] hatchna:
Google Services and Chrome are almost always the top battery users for me. My phone is in my pocket almost all day while I'm at work so I don't get Chrome's usage. Today, I get home and my battery went from full charge to 25% in about 10 hours. Chrome is listed at 27%, Google Services at 8%, Android OS 7%. Only 1 hour 8 minutes of screen on time.
[Nexus 6  General] Sniggity:
What ROM and kernel are you using? Any special settings/setup?
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
I'm running JDX 3.0.4 and latest despair kernel

I change a ton of stuff, probably more than I need to, but that is the nice part to despair, he tries to make it completely customizable per the users tastes

I uv -50 and use intelliplug hotplug, brightness as low as I can go, no location, adaptive or ambient....whatever isn't the screens is stock. Mix of WiFi and 4g. My signal is much better at work than home.

Here are some screens for ya.....

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Sniggity:
Thanks for the info and screenshots. Are you using CFS or BFS version of Despair? I also see there is a Uber and Linaro version?
[Nexus 6  General] DespairFactor:
I only build CFS now, I can easily get 6.5 hours SOT on my kernel which is much better than the 3 hours SOT I get on stock. I cut out a bit of crap that doesn't work as intended on CFS. I find Linaro is a bit faster.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
Still going strong! Since I usually plug in around 40%, I thought I would post some screens. I may see how far this cycle goes, but since I'm at work now, I doubt I will build up much more SOT

But almost 5 hours SOT, over 1 day 13 hours uptime is plenty battery for my usage:thumbup:

Uber or Linaro?

So you go from 100-40% and charge? Instead of 100 until the battery runs out and charge?
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
Im running Uber, currently. I may give linaro a spin as [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] feels it is a bit faster. Im always flashing and trying new things, but I like where things are for me right now

Ive read such mixed results about the batteries in our phones today, and whenever I do get a new device, I usually shoot for the newest I can afford and plan to have it for about 3 years, so I don't like to take chances on killing the battery by how I charge it? If that makes sense....I guess I could always try to buy a new battery if I need to sometime down the road

Good luck with your trials:good:
[Nexus 6  General] Sniggity:
How do you typically charge your phone? I usually charge at night and have 100% ready for the day. But I'm thinking that might not be the best move.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
I like to charge it while Im at work, so I can be awake for it and unplug it at 100....I try to not let it charge for too long once it hits 100, again....Im not sure if that is harmful or not, but it could be, so that's how I do it. Once you get things set up and get the wakelocks under control its much more fun trying things and not having to worry about your battery life and how to charge, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] Sniggity:
Thanks for all your help. One last question hopefully hahah

What do you use to get the wakelocks under control? I'm trying out an Android M Rom now. I'm used to 5.1 and using Xposed with Greenify/Amplify/Power Nap.

Not sure if there's something comparable for M right now but I'm all ears for some apps to help out.
[Nexus 6  General] droidstyle:
It does not matter...once the battery is 100% the charger goes into "float" charging and only kicks on when the battery drops below 100%. That is pretty much how all Lithium Ion battery chargers work across the board.
[Nexus 6  General] erk1725:
You're Welcome! Im glad I could help! Im always asking for help, the devs here are great!!

There are a fair amount of built in settings in M to add with what is running, I use the built in battery stats as normal, developer options, running services, there is now a "memory" tab in settings and good old BBS, it seems wakelock detector isn't updated for M yet? I couldn't get it to work for me at least

Ive never used xposed, greenify, amplify or powernap

Thank you very much for this information! I appreciate it! Its still not recommended to let it drain much lower than 20% or so tho, correct?? As far as battery health/longevity goes?
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Yes, but it still matters, that constant top up does stress the battery..

Under wifi settings long press your connection then select modify>advance >then select static. Don't change the numbers since it's Pre selected from dhcp. It depends on the router.

Mine has been worse, but I wouldn't call it incredibly bad. I used to make it through a whole day with at least 30% left. Now I have to charge before the end of the day sometimes.

I haven't done any detailed analysis on what's draining my battery. Subjectively, it seemed to get worse after the latest Android system update (I'm using stock OTA 5.1.1).
