You must not use your M8 that thing was horrible when it came to games... It wasn't bad just idling but I am on my phone a lot! I know I'd have to put the M8 on the charge twice during a 8hr work day... Haven't had to put this thing on once at work and I've gone 15hrs once.... With heavy use...

I think u meant to not put screen on time in there.... If so then the answer is yes I could pull 30hrs easy with this N6 if I didn't play games and just browsed internet forums etc all day... But there is no way in Gods green Earth you could do over 3.5 hrs SOT on an M8.... Unless u just let it set to never turn off on the home screen...

Moblile radio - plz, stahp!

Nice to see you all in N6 section.

At starters:

decrypted

brightness: 50%

ambient: ON

adaptive: ON

Gnow: ON

Location: power saving

google location and history: OFF

Usage:

LTE/Wi-Fi: 50/50. 2h YT, ~100 texts, ~20 mails, ~1,5h calls, 2h BT in car.

average SoT: 4h (up to 4,5h at best)

Now to the point. On every rom and every kernel I'm getting CRAZY "mobile radio active" for google app and google services. This only accurs with LTE, on 2G and Wi-Fi it's all good. Due to that those two positions in my battery usage are getting pushed far above the screen. :(

App opps tweaking did nothing good. Reflashing, nothing. Tryed everything i coud think of and everything I could find in google.

At this point I'm clueless. Any ideas?

PS:

Checked roms: Pure shamu, Euphora, Terminus, Resurection, Liquid

Checked kernels: Franco, Lean, Sensei

Looking around the Internet for the information about that radio usage. For few 5.0.1 fixed this problem and for the rest - not. Still wondering how is this possible. :eek:

For N5, you just need to revert them to stock and reupdate. (done this to my mom's N5) Sadly for N6 that's not an option.

So if anyone will come up with something, please post. How to tame those apps?

Just got the Nexus 6 for my Wife. I rooted it and installed LiquidSmooth, with the kernel, did a few tweaks, and running Greenify, with Location mode off, etc...

Her first workday yesterday with it, she unplugged the phone off the charge at 7am, and came home around 6:00pm, with 75% battery still left and 2h On Screen time used in those 11 hours. But most of that time she barely used the phone, except maybe 2 hours of real usage time doing phone calls, texts and checking e-mails, and surfing Facebook online, so the other 9 hours the phone just sat on her desk.

Is anyone else having apps keep the mobile radio active and draining the battery when idle? GSAM doesn't even show them as wakelocks but under the stock battery stats it shows facebook, spotify, and twitter, all keeping mobile radio active for over an hour.
[Nexus 6  General] aka757:
I had the same problem. I just did a factory reset on my device hoping that would do something. For me, I only had play services and search activate mobile data. I greenified Facebook and I always keep Spotify on offline mode, so I'm not sure about that.

Yes I can't say if my battery drain from cell stand by is from a bug or because cell service is crap at my house. Either way 35% of my battery has been from cell stand by

I use battery saving location mode but have turned off the setting to allow WiFi to scan for networks even if its off.

Any specific suggestions are tips to improve battery life?
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
So after searching through this thread I've seen a lot of different suggestions for sensor_ind wakelock fix. It seems as though the last idea floated was enabling both ambient display and adaptive brightness... I don't like ambient display but this wakelock is driving me nuts. Can anyone confirm if enabling those settings has killed sensor_ind with fire? A search led to so many conflicting ideas I would like to see what the most recent consensus is.
[Nexus 6  General] Remoteconcern:
It worked for me. I used to have hours, now it's only 5 minutes. Not improved battery life much though.

I thought enabling ambient display was supposed to be the cause of it. Maybe I will have to try it..
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Is it enabling both, disabling both, or either? My battery was draining quicker with ambient on so hoping turning both off works lol

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

No.. I've had it off forever and have gotten the wakelock 3 times today, never had it like this. Driving me nuts. I'm hoping disabling adaptive brightness and ambient display both will work, I've seen it suggested here to either enable both together or disable both together, not sure if one or the other works or if it's either/or, hoping to hear from people who have tried either. Everyone said it was hangouts but I don't have that installed so that's not it either, tried turning auto-rotation off, didn't help. So only other things I've seen mentioned that make sense are ambient display and adaptive brightness
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
There are a ton of tweaks named throughout this thread. I know it's a lot to read through. It's worth it however! You'll find a lot of great info. Start with location reporting and ok Google hot word detection. Use the lowest brightness on your display that you're comfortable with. Use cpustats app free to see if your phone is going to sleep properly. Good luck

I started a thread yesterday about the issues I am currently having with my battery life. It was suggested that I post them in this thread in hopes that you guys may be able to help!

To start off, I used to get pretty good battery life on this phone. I usually averaged somewhere around 3 to 4 hours of screen on time while still ending the day with over 20% left. This is from usage such as using the GPS for between 30 to 60 min, browsing reddit, watching youtube, and other stuff like that. I have slowly noticed that I have been getting worse and worse times until I finally decided to log them. I'm hoping that with the information I collected, you guys may be able to give me an idea of why my battery life sucks and what I can do about it. If it turns out my battery life is actually fine and I'm crazy, tell me that too haha. The link to the album with all of the screen shots is here: http://imgur.com/a/j7f3o

The first few images are of the battery logging app GSam Battery Monitor. Ignore the average screen on at the bottom of the first image because it's way too high as seen in the later images. The screenshots from the Android Battery Monitor are towards the end.

Let me know if I can get you any other information and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
[Nexus 6  General] mr_clean5953:
Do you have location reporting on or off. I suggest making sure its off. Having it off fixed my battery issues.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Hey guys. I finally got around to doing some testing. Froze some garbage in titanium and used app opps to minimize what's able to keep my phone awake. Got incredible standby last night. This is with only Bluetooth on connected to my Moto360... I didn't think to turn it off and one of my fitness apps held awake for a bit.

You guys might notice that my average screen time is low (especially those who know me from other battery life threads) but I got that TYLT wireless charger, so my phone sits on that at work all day. I broke out 7 SOT my first day with it before I went home and unlocked it and setup my work desk the next day.

I'll try and do another SOT test if I remember one of these days, but since I got that TYLT I really don't even bother anymore lol.

Just wanted to show you guys what I froze maybe help someone here get better standby time. Also I have both ambient and active display on. Never had that wake lock you guys keep getting, so I'm assuming it's hangouts, which I froze. Just freeze it it sucks anyway lol.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Sensor_ind - I think I finally figured out what fixes it.

Disable both ambient display and adaptive brightness. That simple. The wakelock had been causing me all sorts of issues as I had been attempting to test kernel settings and kept having to reboot (obviously ruining my testing). I read through this thread and saw people suggesting enable both, disable both, uninstall hangouts, etc. I tried all the different settings out to see what would kill the wakelock. I turned off adaptive brightness and ambient display both and the wakelock has not appeared one single time since... I believe any of you who were having the same issue can kill this wakelock with fire by simply disabling adaptive brightness and ambient display. I know I'm not the first to suggest this in this thread, but the suggestions are very contradictory and I wanted to share that this particular setting appears to be the actual fix, unless BetterBatteryStats has a cruel trick in store for me down the line (probably right after I hit "submit").
[Nexus 6  General] Remoteconcern:
I have found it less common, but still happens with both off. The best for me was enabling both ambient and adaptive display. I think that combo means that the sensors are regularly polled meaning that the wakelock isn't held.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Oh my. so you still get it with both turned off? Do you ever get the wakelock with both turned on or does it completely eliminate it, kill it with fire style? I thought that was what disabling both had done..
[Nexus 6  General] Remoteconcern:
I haven't seen it yet with both on. It's there always, but 5-10 minute kind of thing. I definitely saw it less with both off. Maybe try it, your mileage may vary.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Cool, I suppose if it comes back with both turned off (I hate ambient display so if I have to choose both on or both off I prefer both off and brightness set pretty low) I'll try turning both on, appreciate the tip, this one is a pain to figure out.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
I froze hangouts with titanium, never seen that wakelock
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
Sensor_ind

I may have a new(?) hint about the Sensor_ind Wakelock: If you don't read a Hangouts Message, it might be triggered.

This time I could narrow down the issue: The Sensor_ind wakelock (the one which lets Android-OS keep your N6 awake) kicks in after an incoming Hangouts message was sent to you and that hasn't been read on your device.

I used the Chrome Hangouts addon on my desktop to answer the message (which deletes the notification on the phone), but didn't look at it on the N6. 2 hours later I looked at battery stats and saw Android-OS keeping my device awake. Looked up when the first Hangout message arrived that I didn't answer on my phone and it fits exactly to the time the wakelock kicked in.

Then I read the message on the N6, shut off screen and leave it alone for a while: The wakelock was gone!

So now since the Hangouts related Sensor_ind problem is narrowed down, how can we prevent it without having to completely disable Hangouts? Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] rampino:
I've disabled the video service from hangouts.. now the wakelock is gone.. it only appears for 2min 19sec until now.. it seems, like the wakelock appears when you get a hangouts notification.. the sensor_Ind stays active as long as u don't read the hangouts message. once you've read it, it's gone. at least in my case
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
I don't have hangouts installed guys, it's not hangouts. I use hangotus occasionally but get the wakelock all the time when I don't have it installed (95% of the time)
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
Didn't help for me :( The posted issue happened with disabled video service. Now also disabled call service for another try...

[MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] In my case it seems closely related to Hangouts. Not the first time I thought about this relation, but first time I could prove it for this case of the wakelock.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Personally I don't think it's directly related to hangouts, but that hangouts is just one of the triggers for it.

So freezing or uninstalling fixes the problem on the surface, but the main issue remains

I've had it turn on as well without hangouts installed

I'll state that I have had relief from sensor_Ind for a long while now and it has only been with adaptive brightness OFF and ambient display ON even though I hate ambient display but it keeps it away. Not related to hangouts as I use hangouts all day everyday and I am not having the wakelock now.
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
Just to report back on mobile radio active times:

Today I have 5hrs 45mins off the charger, 20 minutes screen on time and the battery is at 94%. This is pretty much what I would expect, about 3-4% lost for the screen on time and 2-3% lost for standby time. That also includes around 30 minutes of listening to music with Poweramp so the phone wasn't in deep sleep during that period.

My battery chart says Gmail has mobile radio active time of 1hr 21 mins, Google Play Services 59mins and Zooper Widget Pro 46mins.

So the mobile radio active times for those apps are high but the battery life seems reasonable and what I would expect from my usage and I don't see any wakelocks,

The mobile radio active time of various apps might look like it's draining lots of battery but I don't actually think it is impacting on battery life and I am beginning to think the bug is the way that Lollipop reports the battery usage while on mobile data.
