That worked for only so long for me. Like about 2 days and then hangouts somehow kicked up the sensor_ind wakelock again. We shouldn't have to disable that service. If you do, you cannot make video calls with hangouts. I'm at my last straw with this issue. Just last night I factory reset with back to encrypted stock and rooted with Wug's instead of the CF-auto and things were looking fine for a little bit this morning and now boom it's reared it's ugly head again. I just don't understand how some have the issue and some don't.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Will have to see, not to bothered about video calls personally, never use it.

Will be annoying if it comes back in a few days though. Hopefully it doesn't
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It's like a disease, no one i know on these forums who has had the issue has had it go away permanently I just wish I knew what the sensor_ind related to so I could start troubleshooting from there.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
What do you mean emptied out OEM folder?
[Nexus 6  General] MF88:
For people getting 5+ SOT

do you use kernels or custom roms or anything???

Whatever happens i get 3 hours SOT on my N6

Please help me improve my phone coz im about to throw it out of the window
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Nice results feel free to share your stats too so others can see what you did or are doing :thumbup:
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
So right now is yours just awake all the time?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
This is what's happening as of today. Looks like it took a break for a bit, but it'll come back at any second.

If you're having the sensor_ind issue maybe chime in here?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I've posted my experience. I hope something comes out of it. I'm trying to let it ride for a few days with hangouts in case it's trying to do some massive sync or something. I even deleted all 5k chat messages in my google account.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

All things considering regarding the sensor_ind keeping the phone awake, I've been off the charger for 7H 8M, and it's been awake for 4H 15M, and I have 2H 25M of SOT and i'm at 53%. I'm still going to end up with decent battery life but I know I should be getting better.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
And you were right, it's back, I'm getting decent battery too, but when it isn't active my idle time is crazy good
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
This issue puzzles me. I've had charge cycles where it never shows up and then randomly it's there. I use hangouts everyday but for chat only. Haven't disabled any services on it since I flashed a new ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] MF88:
help a desperate man looking for an answer please
[Nexus 6  General] venturizhou:
Get WakeLockDectector, BetterBatteryStats or both.

Charge up and run as normal then look at what is keeping your device awake.
[Nexus 6  General] StrizzMatik:

[Nexus 6  General] oak:
Thanks for all the details!
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
I am getting very good battery life. Over seven hours of heavy use & still over twenty percent left on the battery. But then I never use WiFi or Bluetooth.
[Nexus 6  General] gmelchert:
If I were to take a gander and guess the cause of this sensor_ind wakelock I'd say ambient display or google's "ok google" recognition could be the cause. Don't actually have a nexus but from experience whenever a sensor is left on for little features like ambient display and voice recognition, it tends to make things buggy. I've never had that **** work nicely without some serious drawbacks. It's disappointing but just where we are with technology right now.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
1. Make a nandroid backup.

2. Pick a ROM that you might be interested in.

3. Pick a kernel that might interest you.

4. Flash them and try them out for a few days.

5. Install Gsam and Wakelock Detector.

6. Report back and see if you get better battery.

7. If you see sensor_ind pop up, reboot.

I honestly can't say specifically what your issue might be as me and a lot of other people getting good battery life. But I want to help you guys and find out what's causing it. Even with the sensor_ind flaring up once in a while I am still getting consistently 6+ sot time with way over a day away from charger. This phone has to be the phone I've charged the least of all the ones I've had. And when it is time to charge it does so extremely quick haha. Good luck.
[Nexus 6  General] crashercarlton:
its not the 100% cause but it has something to do with hangouts. those without hangouts do not seem to have the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Now this is the kind of post we are looking for, very nice, and thanks for sharing all the details :thumbup:
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Here is my battery life for today with the sensor_ind horror. Think of how much better it would be if that wake lock didn't keep my phone awake.

location - high accuracy

google now on

google voice detection on

ambient display off

adaptative display enabled - slider to about 40%

only apps disabled are google fit and sprintdm
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
The reason why I don't think it's that is because if I sign out of hangouts and reboot the phone and use messaging for SMS, the phone will perform properly. It will go into deep sleep even if I have okay Google enabled. I also don't use ambient display at all.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Supposedly there is an update to hangouts tomorrow but I doubt it addresses the wakelock issue.
[Nexus 6  General] venturizhou:
This is my use for today around maybe 12 hours today.

I am running Rastapop + LeanKernel10

Roote & Decrypted

Max - 1958 MHz min at 233 MHz

Bin 4 undervolted by 25mv

Adaptive Brightness off (I stay around 15-20% brightness)

Only App Data, Contacts, Calendar, Gmail sync on.

1.5-2 hrs streaming music over cell data

15-20 minutes YouTube

Greenify

WiFi is set to off when asleep
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Very nice! You also started with 90% it looks like & it still has 25% left
[Nexus 6  General] Elpatii:
Very nice to see this amazing battery results :p

My nexus 5 with 5.0 can't give me more than 2,5hrs SoT ...

Hurry to have my Nexus 6 this week :)
[Nexus 6  General] avsquare:
Just received my N6 last night, it has about 90% battery when booted. It's on pure stock and it has about 15% battery left right now and scored 4hrs SOT. Brightness at 50% with auto-adjust.
[Nexus 6  General] Elpatii:
Nothing was disabled/greenified?
[Nexus 6  General] avsquare:
Nope, as of now I'm still examining the ROMs available and the features and I haven't had a conclusion on what I want to do with the device yet, so as of now it is still 100% right out of the box. I will probably drain it to 1% and do a round or two of full charge with 100% stock to gauge stock performance myself.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Anyone can let me know how can get rid of system adspd battery drain? You can have a look at the screenshot.
[Nexus 6  General] edved:
This is bizarre. Totally stock. Fully charged on airplane mode overnight while asleep 8 hours. Found phone down 30% to 70%. Abysmal.

Otherwise nice phone. Keeping my S5 with spare battery.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I bet you its the "sensor.ind" , when this decides to run it stops the phone going into deep sleep. its a HUGE pain.... when the phone goes into deep sleep i'd say you wouldn't lose more than 5%

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I downloaded a sensor app, started it up.. checked all the sensors were working and boom , the sensor.ind was back and never stopped...

Seems like if an app uses the sensors, maybe a certain one? i'm not sure ,but they don't then stop for some reason
[Nexus 6  General] noxaro:
Hi...what sensor app...i need one...huge drain on a stock htc m8.
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I of course have this Wakelock too but it's not keeping my phone from entering Deep Sleep. Are you guys certain that's what is causing your issues?
[Nexus 6  General] jaimeletelierhay:
Loving the phone and battery life is good in my opinion. Still find the battery saving feature strange with the bright orange, surely an amoled screen would be better with simply black!! Never the less a great handset to have!!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Is that right? You've had the phone since 9/12 and it's been on for over a month?
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Do me a favor, download the Catlog app and when this happens again check the logs as it is happening to see if you spot anything there.
[Nexus 6  General] jaimeletelierhay:
What's been on for over a month???
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
your battery chart is sectioned off by date. you booted your phone roughly before 9/12 and it lasted past 10/12.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

I'm sorry to say the new hangouts update did not affect the sensor_ind wakelock in anyway. still there :(
[Nexus 6  General] gmermel:
My ambient display won't even work. It did out of the box, and after a factory reset, so it appears it's app related and not a dreaded hardware issue.

I was preparing to do another factory reset and load individual apps to find the culprit. Would you suggest I leave well enough alone and chalk it up to better lucky than good, or is it worth chasing down in case other problems crop up?
[Nexus 6  General] parker955:
It looks more like it was on for a day, not a month. 9/12 as in the 9th of December. So a day is a lot more reasonable than a month haha.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Ton of these when I do a search in catlog
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Hahaha true, I'm not used to having the day before the month. I was thinking. I'll have what he's having if your nexus 6 lasted a month off the charger 2 years ago haha
[Nexus 6  General] venturizhou:
I am waiting for someone like Slim ROM to put out a dark theme to take advantage of the AMOLED display. I know that we have the invert colors option but it's kind of annoying to toggle that on and off. It seems interesting that they use so much white in material design and then use an AMOLED display for their flagship. I would have hoped that they overall would have had a black theme to take advantage of it but I'm sure someone will come out with it.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Will do, but since activating ambient display again it hasn't come back in hours
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Quick question, do both of you have adaptive brightness on? I don't, I use manual brightness and don't use adaptive display. I haven't had the Wakelock in days.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I'll try to turn that off.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Can you think of anything else you might have changed?

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

Hmm..i swear i've tried that before but some reason right now it's a lot more under control. i'll keep checking it throughout the day. That would be sad really if one of lollipop's newest features is bunked on their flagship phone.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I'm also finding the battery life on this to be excellent. Turned charging off last night approx midnight fully charged, and just under 22 hours later I'm still at 50%. Obviously my normal use might be different to some of you. Using push for emails, made some calls and streamed music to and from work (about 45 minutes each way).

As a comparison my Galaxy Note 2 would last from 6.30am when I left home to about 9pm before hitting somewhere about 10% left.
[Nexus 6  General] Amos91:
I'm on the stock rom, just decrypted and rooted. Finding battery life fairly good tbh. Been on YouTube and surfing the web etc. Came off the charger 15 hours ago, currently at 21% with 4hrs SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
did you update to 5.01 yet? you willing to test it with adaptive display back on again? hhehehe :)
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Yep. Been on 5.0.1 since the Roms started updating it. I have used a couple of Roms and am now trying Euphoria and also have used lean kernel and now I am trying out Sensei. The results of the Wakelock are not dependent on ROM or kernel as I have seen so far. I've had it today for 26 mins but then it stopped. Dunno what cause it but it did stop. But the weird thing is that there wasn't any big battery drain associated with it during that time.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
First day,

I'm on 4hrs 10mins SOT with 20% left!

Max brightness with adaptive turned on.

WiFi, all sync & backups turned on.

Completely stock.

Amazed so far.
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:
I was all stock when i got 5+ hrs
[Nexus 6  General] rlh445:
So I just wanted to pop back in and say that since flashing Leankernel Beta 9 a few days ago, for my usage during the work week battery life has been stellar.

I basically use my phone as a phone during the week: some calls, mostly text and e-mail and some streaming of *ahem* adult stuff (after work). I'm not on it constantly and I always have wifi off and use LTE. Signal is great for me (T-Mobile). I also have played a bunch of Reaper all while having my LG Tone BT headset paired the entire time (can't live without it lol).

This phone has been off the charger for over 36 hours and is above 50% with almost two hours of total screen time.

So my usage may or may not be, 'typical,' but I think this kind of performance is astounding

[Nexus 6  General] kEvinErd:
Is this for real? What's your usage? You left the phone screen on overnight?
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
My battery life seems ok but after looking at other battery charts in this thread I think something is wrong.

I'm currently on 5.0, unlocked bootloader and rooted but still encrypted. My battery is at 85% with 1hr 11 mins screen on time which seems pretty solid but the screen is not top of the battery list, that firmly remains Google Play Services.

I'm familiar with Android and tried various things to stop this including uninstalling the updates to Google Play Services and disabling Android Device Manager as I was getting hundreds of alarms in better battery stats for ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR. This has made a difference as after 6hrs I have 32 alarms for it, yesterday on the latest Google Play Services I was getting hundreds.

Is anyone else having this issue or knows a fix?
[Nexus 6  General] jithendra194:
That's crazy?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Looks like he just left his screen on for the 8+hrs

100% unrealistic test of battery.

Id still like to hear if 5.0.1 has improved it though, from users actually using the device as normal.
[Nexus 6  General] zidave:
Adaptive display is off and I use hangouts sometimes. I only use hangouts to talk to one person.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I haven't had the wake lock in two days now. Not sure what happened tbh
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
For me one of the other posters suggested I turn off adaptive display. That helped tremendously. It comes on when using hangouts still but promptly turns off when not using it. I've even separated my message and SMS to separate apps just to minimize the wake lock as well. Do you have adaptive display disabled right now?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
No its on, I do have the new hangouts though?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I had the new hangouts as well and it didn't help. I may revisit the adaptive display feature in a few days. Right now I just want to enjoy the good battery life and stop stressing for a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Haha yea I hear ya, I'll post if I see it come back
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I still believe it's connected to hangouts in some way or fashion. Since there are at least two reported issues of disabling adaptive display fixing the issue, and the wakelock is somehow associated with the videochatservice in hangouts, I wonder if it has anything to do with the lighting issue in the faceunlock feature. Maybe lollipop can't control the ambient light sensor properly.

[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Really good point and probable imo
[Nexus 6  General] avsquare:
2nd charge since I got my N6, still pure stock out of the box. Updated to 5.01 via OTA and maintained as 100% stock, have about 3hr 20mins of SOT when battery hits 50% so far. 5-5.5hrs SOT when battery drops to 1% should be achievable.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
I believe you will break 6 on a decent signal :D
[Nexus 6  General] avsquare:
Yeah, stable signal plays a big part in battery life :p
[Nexus 6  General] nicholz:

[Nexus 6  General] nextelbuddy:
Well I almost give up I dont know what the hell is causing this SENSOR_IND wakelock but what ever it is it wont go away not even after a reboot.

CPUSPY shows not going into deep sleep and stuck at 300 mhz.

check BBS and Kernel wakelocks show sensor_ind at 100%

partial wakelocks does show anything that adds up to that.

things I have done.

Greenified ALL/EVERY SINGLE APP besides system apps. (ROOTED)

Disabled google sync

disabled google now

uninstalled and disabled Google hangouts

uninstalled and disabled Google Fit

still sensor_ind will not go away.

i dont get how anyone could track this down if BBS and wakelock detector dont show anything contributing to it.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Do you have ambient display and adaptive brightness on?
[Nexus 6  General] nextelbuddy:
I do have adaptive brightness on but ambient is off.

i can try turning off adaptive brightness. I just really liked how in adaptive you can go lower with the screen brightness than you can with adaptive turned off
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Try to turn off adaptive Brightness for a while and see if the Wakelock stops. We're trying to find the culprit here. I've narrowed it down to the ambient sensor.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Thanks for that tip, i still get the sensor_ind but ONLY when I'm actively using hangouts and it stops after I get out of it. I hope it's not a hardware issue and something that can be fixed via update.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Well it's been much reduced but towards the end of the day it got stuck a few times. Very annoying needless to say. It's like that trouble child. Can only behave for so long.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
I mean it still does show up from time to time but lately it has been like this, not much time on. Most of that Wakelock was from Spotify listening to music through the day. I'm still at 50% ?
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
I get about 4 hours. Full brightness, location on, sync on
[Nexus 6  General] nextelbuddy:
so after re enabling everything and JUST disabling adaptive brightness, my wakelock of SENSOR_IND has gone away for the most part and my device goes into deep sleep.

I started using the app called LUX so i want to see if it causes the same wake lock with SENSOR_IND or if its just te implementation of how google is using their version of adaptive brightness and how it talks to the actual ambient sensor and frees resources. there has to be a memory leak or something with that sensor and googles implementation of adaptive brightness
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Interesting. Thanks for investigating and testing
[Nexus 6  General] benpottier:
Google play music seems to be waking my device A LOT . I have the app greenified but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Great! This helps a lot thanks! Keep us updated on how it goes with Lux. I'll continue investigating this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] jackpollard:
I've attached a screenshot that shows my battery and apps. For some reason gmail is always the number 1 battery user and when I look at all the other screenshots it shows screen? What would be the reason for that? And what can i do to stop it. Thanks!!
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
definitely let us know if LUX works for you. if it does then that at least makes me feel better that it's just a software issue that can be fixed and not a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6  General] old_fart:
Yes. I disabled it and am now trying other players.

.

Question. . . Is this the thread where peeps are listing their TOP wake lock offenders ? I'm running WLD and then also the latest Lean kernel which lists them too ( in : su / lkconfig / 9 ) . . .
[Nexus 6  General] benpottier:
Its battery related so I don't see why not ... Incidentally I'm having the sensor_ind issue as well. Stock kernel, rooted, unlocked bootloader with twrp
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Sure post away this is for all things battery and to help others get the most out of their battery in their n6
[Nexus 6  General] vovak43r:
First day after 6 hours of configuring/playing with the device battery died. :rolleyes:

On the second day the battery lasted for 12 hours, mostly in standby.

This morning after 2 hours it's already on 80%...

:(

*using Greenify ( no root ) to keep apps like Facebook&Messenger closed when i didn't ask for it to be open! :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] benpottier:
This has been my average battery life and it seems kind of terrible considering .. I don't use sync or location. I'm rooted using greenify with stock kernel (tried lean kernel, not much better). Should I start fresh and flash 501? I'm going a little nuts here trying so much to get some decent battery life. Unless I'm wrong and shouldn't expect much better.
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
Your battery stats look very much like mine, the Google Services (which sometimes gets changed in the battery list to Google Play Services (Android L bug??)) is a similar percentage to the screen percentage,

I can see what is causing the drain on my phone, it seems to be ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR which is on 168 wakeups in 6.5 hours but I cannot seem to fix it, I thought there is a problem in Google Play Services but other people don't even have that on their battery charts so I'm a bit puzzled.
