I get the wakelock like crazy with adaptive and ambient both off and I don't even have Hangouts on my phone, let alone use it.

Had you ever tried with both off? I've heard both off/both on is the fix, either/or but clearly both off and no Hangouts doesn't work for me, so I am wondering if you've ever tried both off (and hoping that you have and had no success, giving me hope that turning both on might stop this wakelock)I dislike ambient display but I might get used to it, I truly hate buggy wakelocks so if it's a real fix I'd be glad to give it a try.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Did you freeze hangouts? Try unfreezing it but not using it.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
I don't even have it installed is what I meant. Just checked and I do have it frozen, lol. Just now uninstalled, haven't ever used it lol. Why, were people having the wakelock with it frozen in TiBu but not when they unfroze it? If so that's just another bizarre piece to this puzzle. I hope so because I don't use Hangouts, man I'll be happy if that's all it takes lol.
[Nexus 6  General] EternalAndroid:
N6 arrived yesterday, results after a full day tomorrow night.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Try it with ambient display ON and adaptive brightness OFF. I never go past 30 mins of sensor_ind in a 24+ hr day of battery life. The both on/off theory only works for a few. For me either of this combinations ignites the wakelock. Only as I said is that I got it to work for a long time now.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
That looks pretty normal to my eyes. Your cell radio is on all day all the time (unless one uses airplane). 25% time w/o signal means 25% low signal not necessarily 'no' signal. Just how it is reported. Your SOT is great imo. I think what you got is great. Just my opinion though.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
This is good too especially having used LTE 50% of the time. If I was a betting man I'd say its your location reporting on setting that's causing high goog services reporting
[Nexus 6  General] malinois16:
Very possible. Thats my first full charge since first setup. I did a full reboot and i will see if that continues.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Great results on first charge nice! One thing I often forget about is that 1st charge. I know now days with battery tech they say it doesn't matter but guess I'm old school. I like to charge it full before I ever use my new phone. I feel like it makes a difference, placebo or not :P
[Nexus 6  General] ncraigtrn:
Agreed! I got over 40 hours on one charge and over 6.5hours sot before it gave up the ghost. I'm stoked.
[Nexus 6  General] idonthavename.7:
Here is mine. Wifi and bluetooth on all time. Kinda crappy cell service.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Awesome ~11-12 hr idle slept like a baby it looks like!
[Nexus 6  General] fictionoid:
I am getting pretty excellent battery life on mine.

5 to 6hrs SOT with about 24hrs total.

Running:

Tasker

Google fit (lots of wakes and keep awake)

Facebook (one of the worse)

Using camera w/ Dropbox auto upload

About 30 minutes of podcasts over Bluetooth

Bluetooth headphones connected about 7 hours

All Google apps syncing

Additive brightness around 40%

Poor to moderate cell connectivity

I am impressed and have not done any really optimization. I do use predominately dark/black themes whenever available.
[Nexus 6  General] idonthavename.7:
Yup. I took it off charger around 12:30 am. Woke up at 10 am. Battery was at 97%. It is awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] NICEGYPT:
Since 8:30 AM with full brightness
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
What did your sot time end up at?
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
Damn yours died without cell service.
[Nexus 6  General] NICEGYPT:
What is sot?
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Sorry, screen on time or screen time. How long your screen was on in that period. If you tap screen it will tell
[Nexus 6  General] NICEGYPT:
Oh. 4 hours and 15 min
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Sounds right for full brightness thanks
[Nexus 6  General] treIII:
Started to get the n6 but after seeing the battery life with such a huge battery I expected much more sot. Something is definitely wrong. Note 4 same processor etc.. with touchwiz and the battery life I is incredible. I have m8 and my battery life is much better. I hope Google gets this ironed out. I really don't want flagship devices to get lollipop if it's going to worsen battery life. Thanks for everyone who had posted as I trust xda members to get true results. My m8 gets 6-7 hours Sot no matter what I throw at it. Hopefully there will be an update to help with the battery life issue.

Amen to that brudder!
[Nexus 6  General] sprintuser513:
I get terrible battery life. Worst than my oneplus and g3. Take a look. Brightness at 50% adaptive brightness enabled. Barely use the device and im not considered a heavy user by any means. 1 Hour 14m SOT and I'm under 50%.
[Nexus 6  General] rayfin:
I'm getting pretty high Google Play Services drainage with tons of wake locks which amount to about 3 hours a day. I have not yet received the latest Google Play Services update and was planning on sideloading it. I'm wondering if anyone if anyone else has experienced excessive battery drain with the stock GMScore or if they've updated to the latest one either manually or automatically and if that has fixed battery drain?
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
Thanks for the info, do you have hangouts active or is it frozen (TB)?
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Very very active. I use it all day long and to me it is not connected to hangouts but to some other people it is so it seems to be a hit or miss.
[Nexus 6  General] slekkas:
Even if this works I would hate to use this scenario. I constantly move indoors and outdoors and adaptive brightness is very useful to me. I really don't like ambient display and I never installed hangouts.

I really hope there will be an update fixing this soon. If one of the rom developers can figure out a solution for this and incorporates it in his rom he will be famous :)
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
No need when I already make about 2 days with good use. I'm not going for one night WIFI binge stats with 8 SOT.

I have yet to see a multi day drain with that. So until then.

Put up or shut up =]

[Nexus 6  General] laureanop:
I always have adaptive on and ambient off and I occasionally get the wakelock when I turn on auto rotation. Toggling adaptive and ambient off and on fixes the problem.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Dynamic Notifications was just updated so I'm switching ambient display off while keeping adaptive on. Hopefully the sensor_ind wakelock doesn't blow up!! *crosses fingers*
[Nexus 6  General] slekkas:
What you mean dynamic notifications?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It's a lock screen app that closely mimics the active display from the Motorola line of phones like the moto x. It takes advantage of the amoled display. I like it better than ambient display so I've been waiting for them to update it to fix this one glitch. The biggest part for me is that it allows me to interact with the notifications without firing up the entire screen like ambient display.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
This was my original configuration and I got the wakelock HORRIBLY set up this way, however I always had auto-rotation on. Do you keep auto-rotation off generally, and if yes, are you saying it kills the wakelock entirely or just makes it less constant? Trying to narrow this down but can confirm simply adaptive on, ambient off definitely isn't the fix.. dunno how auto-rotation plays into things though.

I am now trying both ambient and adaptive display turned on as suggested, now ambient on and adaptive off is the only config I've yet to try to to minimize this wakelock. Adaptive on, ambient off doesn't work and neither does adaptive and ambient both off.. curious to see if/how auto-rotation plays into it though.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Make sure you reboot after making the change.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Well there goes that experiment. I turned off ambient display to try out dynamic notifications and sensor wakelock is back. been on for 37 minutes out of 1h 23m. Sad. I'm going to turn off adaptive display as well and reboot. :(
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Thanks, I hadn't actually lol.

Both off doesn't work for me at all, no hangouts even installed or in TiBu... that definitely isn't the fix, unless what the other user reported was intending to say that it works for him if auto-rotation is off. I'm still waiting on a response. hopefully on that one. I'm hoping both on will work... curious do you use auto-rotation or find it relevant to this wakelock? I've not heard it mentioned until in here just recently.. sorry for all the ?S but this is driving us all nuts, we all just need to test all configs possible and whoever figures it out can save themselves and the rest of us lol.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I find it irrelevant since I use NOVA. having both on or off definitely fixes the wakelock for me. I haven't had it for a long while until today when I wanted to test out dynamic notifications by turning off ambient. right now I have both adaptive and ambient turned off because i want to test dynamic.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
I use Nova too.. not sure what you mean though as to use auto-rotation in Nova you must have it enabled on your system, says it right on the setting in Nova I just checked lol Are you saying you leave auto-rotation turned off on your system (QS toggle)?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I have it turned to whatever the default is which I guess is auto rotation on.
[Nexus 6  General] laureanop:
My auto rotation is always off, unless I need it for something specific. Most of the time a reboot is not necessary after toggling.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
But using adaptive brightness on, ambient display off, you don't get the sensor_ind wakelock if you keep auto-rotation turned off to "portrait"? That's what I've gathered from the combination of your two posts, and if so it will be my next test as adaptive on, ambient off is my preferred setup anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
That set up is when I was getting the Sensor_ind wakelock
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
This is so frustrating that it seems to be different for everyone (and I'm already out of thanks at 11:26 AM because of it) ... I myself have yet to try a setup that kills the wakelock for me. So far I haven't seen it with ambient and adaptive both on (your suggestion I believe), but just started trying that like a half hour ago so hoping that stays consistent.. I'm not a fan of ambient display but I'll take it to kill that wakelock once and for all. I don't mind seeing it kick on from time to time, but I just need to find a setup that allows my device to deep sleep without issues. Thanks for the heads up though, since I'm alread out of thanks... another thing I blame sensor_ind for lol
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
I hate ambient display but keeping it on with the adaptive brightness off is the only way to tame it on my phone. Been running it like that since all is the start of this thread and it is the only consistent way fort phone. Others have mixed reviews.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
This is the last setup I have yet to try out of the four possible ambient/adaptive combos... if this of both on doesn't work it'll be my next try and if no luck there I suppose I'm stuck with the wakelock and will go back to ambient off, adaptive on as I prefer and hope for a fix in 5.1.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
Hopefully 5.1 fixes all this :(
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
I was given this advice last night via PM, I installed hangouts but didn't open the app at all, I got disable services (app) and disable video chat in hangouts and all related to videos. I turn adaptive and ambient display on (both) and so far since 8:30am the sensor_id wakelock is down to 5 min. In my case, whenever I make or received a call, the sensor_id goes crazy and starts draining battery. I hope it helps, it's till early to make any definitive assumption as to whether it works but so far so good. Also I have rotation off.
[Nexus 6  General] slekkas:
I will wait until you have more feedback. If you don't mind trying it with auto rotation on so we can be sure which one fixes it.
[Nexus 6  General] big_adventure:
Actually, no, the Percent Enabler app in the store will do it for the N5 or N6.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
Sure, next thing I will try is auto rotation on. Imoseyon mentioned that he will look into the sensor_ind but he made no promises tho.
[Nexus 6  General] laureanop:
Yes it seems to be different for everyone
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Only because we haven't narrowed down the exact trigger....
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
This.

I'm curious as to how DT2W was ruled out as a possibility, does anyone know if this issue is hitting users on pure stock (no DT2W even possible in kernel)?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I got the wakelock when I got the phone right out of the box and all i did was root and unlock the bootloader.

UPDATE: I'm sporadically getting the wakelock today while testing dynamic notifications. I'm wondering if the app is holding the sensor open somehow. With that I'm still getting about the same battery life but that's because having ambient display off actually improves battery life. I'm also testing having location turned on for my power pack micro that keeps losing connection. Motorola suggested I turn the find my phone feature on for the power pack micro to stay connected.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
UPDATE: I tested with both on (adaptive and ambient) and after 8hours my sensor_ind is only 5 min and 45 seconds (wakelock detector). This is with auto rotation off, I enable hangouts and disable the chat services by Disable services (app). I have received calls and its not as awful as yesterday (3 hours and 18 min after 11 hours). The kernel that I am using is LK V1.2.2 and have DT2W and S2W disable as well as LED. I am going to give it until tomorrow morning and will try auto rotation on. hope it helps
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
It seems like I'm still technically getting the wakelock with adaptive, ambient display and and auto-rotation all on, but instead of holding it appears to be kicking itself off like a wakelock normally does... hoping this behavior persists, if after a few days testing it stays this way this is what I'll stick with. Normally when the wakelock registers, it gets stuck, but so far it seems to be catching and stopping itself normally with ambient turned on. It almost seems like the wakelock isn't a bughow it is behaving with this setup, I'd have thought nothing of its presence on my KWL list if it wasn't for knowing the wakelock from prior issues as it's behaving currently... pleaaaase stay this way.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
yeah that's what I consider successful. It'll come on when i'm using hangouts and screen on, but when not using hangouts, it will go away and sleep successfully.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
You are correct the wakelock seems to be kicking itself off and not linger after I made my phone calls.
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Yeah, that I can deal with, that's what a wakelock is supposed to be.. something that holds your phone awake. This devil spawn that could completely crush all chance of deep sleep for literally six hours at a time is something totally different, at least with ambient display off it is... hoping that keeping it on will make that insane behavior stop. Never have I ever encountered a wakelock that behaves like this.
[Nexus 6  General] PunishedSnake:
What is the sensor for?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Halfway point for today. Some of the worst wake locks I've seen in awhile BUT I'm on my way to 5 hours of screen time for the day. Makes me realize what a battery sucker ambient display is hahaha.

So the options are

1). Turn on ambient display and adaptive and have nearly zero wakelock but average about 4 hours screen time.

2). Turn off ambient and adaptive and use dynamic notifications but suffer wakelock city but get about 5 hours of screen time.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
Hey Biggie, Are you currently on stock ROM? I am using Chroma ROM with Lean Kernel V1.12 and battery life was pretty good despite my awful sensor wakelock, It got me through a day and a half. I am going to keep both adaptive and ambient on. I heard that Franco's kernel with Chroma ROM and vomer tweaks give the nexus a pretty good battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Stock with Franco
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Chroma uses a modified Franco... (adds swipe to wake/sleep only iirc)
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
It adds flar2 DT2W as well
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Adds a new implementation or just triggers Google stock dt2w in the ram disk?
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
New implementation. Stock Franco kernel adds Google DT2W, Chroma's modified has flar2's wake gestures from ElementalX kernel which is where s2s and s2w come from as well. Chroma's modified FK uses flar2's DT2W, not Google DT2W, a few other kernels use this as well... it's MUCH more responsive than stock Google implementation. Tap it twice and it wakes, every time, no "technique" or triple tap to it or any of that nonsense. My ROM's kernel has it and I must say, it's very nice.
[Nexus 6  General] mugendon:
For those having problems with sensor_ind: There is an experimental leankernel version, which disables it completly:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58689108&postcount=2199
[Nexus 6  General] wrongway213:
Sensor_ind just came back for over an hour with adaptive and ambient both on - that just leaves trying adaptive off, ambient on. And then trying configs with rotation off if need be... but auto-rotation on and ambient on/adaptive on, ambient off/adaptive on and ambient off/adaptive off all definitely do not kill this wakelock, even with hangouts totally uninstalled from the device.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
Hey Wronway

Here is an update, After 1 day and 1 hour the sensor_ind wackelock has been tamed to only 6 min and 17 seconds. I have both adaptive and ambient on with auto rotation off. I also installed hangouts but did not open the app at all. I got Disable Servicess app and within Hangouts, I disable realtimechatincommingmessageservice, realtimechstservice, and videochatservice. I hope it helps, its possible that it may returned so I decided to give It until tomorrow before switching to a different configuration.

Wait I just saw that Imoseyon release a test version of V1.12 without the sensor_ind wakelock, going to give it a try.
[Nexus 6  General] suku_patel_22:
I am. Using that kernel at the moment. No trace of sensor_ind and I have adaptive brightness on.

[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Not bad right? Lol! Yes I was on Wi-Fi all day and this was after 2 calls and a lot of xda, Reddit, chrome browsing and some YouTube videos also. Still 23% that I couldn't kill.
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
hi folks :) have any of you had any probs with battery completely powering off at 7-8%???

and when plug it in and turn it straight back on its at 9-10% ....is there a prob with the device or is this normal?

its stock untouched and dont want to flash it cheers guys :)
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Sounds like battery calibration is buggered... Google on how to recalibrate it... (it's not deleting any files... It charging it a certain way)
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
cheers for the reply :)

ive tried it even the app from play store to help but

just didnt quite understand how that app worked tho lol

ill keep pestering it and see what i can do
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
What app? It's all internal to the charging circuits of the phone..

It's a matter of fully charging the phone and letting it completely discharge (screen on idle) a couple times...
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
oh sorry its current widget battery monitor , cant post the link for couple more post's fresh meat and all that lol
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Heh, current widget is good, I use it to track discharge rates... However, you don't really need it...
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
sound, will this help you think?

. Charge your phone untill 100

2. Download Root Browser

3. Disconnect it and reboot

4. Charge it till 100 again

5. Go to Root Browser and then open data/system folder.

6. Unplug your phone

7. Delete batterystats.bin file

8. Let it drain till 0%

Calibrated!!
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
That just delete the Android record of what's been draining the battery, it gets wiped and regenerated automatically when the phone is charged to 100%..

I can't believe that myth is still propagating..

see here
[Nexus 6  General] 8Fishes:
I got a very good first run of my device.

I charged it up friday evening and just got to work with it at about 5 percent.

I got about 2days-ish standby time. 4 hours SOT.

I kept brightness down to the lowest setting, along with only just turning on wifi/data as needed. I can see how either of those can be a huge drain.

I also played about 2 hours worth of games on it; Mostly to 'test' how awesome the display is. It's pretty good!

I'll see if this is repeatable, but for the time being I am getting pretty good battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
thought as much but sure when ya need a solution ya will look in all the darkest corners lol
[Nexus 6  General] Tzfardaya:
Calibration is a very low level event.. Has to do with the system files located in /sys/class/power_supply/battery (the values for these files are read directly from the hardware)
[Nexus 6  General] Moggser:
i will do this and get back to you let you know how i get on thanks for the reply
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Any update from the guys who flashed the lean kernel?
[Nexus 6  General] slekkas:
So far it's been working great for me... Finally I can enjoy a full day without worrying if this wakelock will show up and kill my battery.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Are you actually getting more screen time and longer life or is the wakelock just being masked?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Wakelock is gone, its not being masked as my deep sleep is actually in the 85-90% now , how does it translate to real world battery? thats going to be different to every user.
[Nexus 6  General] slekkas:
Of course I get more SOT and longer life. With the wakelock I wouldn't last a day. Now I last 24 hours with 4 hours SOT all enabled... Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4g.
[Nexus 6  General] Damon13:
YEs Biggie, I have def seen an improvement in battery life, The phone sleeps more often. LK is def a winner.
[Nexus 6  General] Mjuksel:
I am really pleased with my battery life.

Yesterday i ended the day with 53% left, i picked up the phone today with 53% left (slept from 1am > 10am).

Each day considers of around 3 hours screen on, which would be from using tapatalk, messaging (hangouts/whatsapp etc) and G+ mostly.

So i get pretty much 2 days of life + around 6 hours of SOT on 1 charge :)

/edit:

I flashed SimpleAOSP , stock settings/kernel etc.

Didnt do any trickery yet with Tasker, i have sync just on etc.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Great results thanks :thumbup:
