Whoops. I forgot about that. Wi-Fi scanning was on, indeed. Damn you, Google, again... for hiding those toggles :)

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

You mean "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"? Yeah, that was eanbled. I also set Wi-Fi to 2.4 GHz only, for what it's worth - to help avoid potential connectivity issues.

But the main culprit was "Wi-Fi scanning", I believe. I turned that off. Kind of late, though. Not sure how much that would affect battery life... guess I'll find out tomorrow, huh.

I don't have a car. Nor a driver's license (but will start driving lessons in a year from now, or so I plan). I mostly travel across the city by underground train (subway, metro, how do you call it?), and although my carrier provides pretty strong signal through the tunnels, there are locations where signal is very low / none at all, but that is extremely rare. Take a look at the graph in my earlier post, the one with all the screenshots...

Oh and that thing you said about having my own shop, [MENTION=7000891]jbeezley[/MENTION]... I kind of do. It's an online shop, if anything. I don't sell batteries, though - not profitable enough, lol. Phone cases is what it's all about :D hence my need to travel across the city...

Thank you [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for allowing us to carry on with this (constructive, I believe, as [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] himself described it) off-topic discussion. I'll try to conclude what the problem really is (and the solution) in the following couple of pages, so that I don't extend this for too much.

Sorry for all the inconvenience and to other forum members who may have come here and think "oh, no, this guy again". Sorry to be that guy... :cyclops:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Okay. Here's the video.

I tried to use AZ Screen Recorder (2K resolution, 60fps), but no dice... when I tried to hit the "stop" button, it would just not do anything. Changed it to 1080p and 30fps... same thing. Not sure what happened to this app, it used to work just fine (on LP).

The first video I tried to make was about 3 minutes long. Hit the battery pretty hard : bluetooth streaming to my headset, playing a YouTube video in BSPlayer over 4G, playing Agar.io and Sunburn (these are not very graphics intensive games like Dead Trigger and such, but it's something) at full brightness... battery voltage was about 4200 mV without all these stressful actions, and with all of the above being done at the same time, it was oscillating (4050 mV - 4115 mV or so). Too bad AZ Screen Recorder crapped out on me.

So... I ended up having to use Pure Nexus's integrated screen recorder. Which doesn't record more than 60 seconds (if it does, I can't find the settings for it - AGAIN!). So I tried to be quick. Still, what I did in the video is pretty intensive, if you ask me... By the way, I started off with a full battery, but all that time I lost spending with AZ Screen Recorder ended up with a lower battery charge :laugh:

Is that drop (some times up to 0.2 volts) normal? I tend to believe it isn't... :(

Oh and [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION], I couldn't find a better way to monitor battery voltage, as System Monitor doesn't have a battery voltage monitoring... thing. If you want to test out & see if BMW provides accurate readings, I think you could try & do what I did in the video, and see for yourself... if your battery is fine, you shouldn't have that 0.2V drop.

I forgot : monitoring was set to real-time in Battery Monitor Widget.

Aaaaaaand there goes Pure Nexus's built-in notification LED control. It just crapped out on me : eBay no longer makes the LED yellow, as it used to a few hours ago. Guess I'm keeping LightFlow...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
Good morning, i did a similar test to compare:

a) 4298mV = max voltage fully charged

b) 4124mV = reboot and media scanner running ( -1400mA/h )

c) 4127mV = sygic navigation + youtube in chrome + xda + videorecording with camera + photo app + brightness booster for display ex [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

...[average value +/-30mA, Low slightly below 4100mV and high slightly above 4150mV]

so voltages are generally higher than yours and never dropped that low for what it's worth, which corresponds with your amperage somehow while i don't see a need to replace the battery yet, after all we found out that the cell data connection is eating up your battery. in the subway, even though you say signal is generally good, you change the cell all the time

and the device is permanently searching for best radio, it's anything but a stable connection in the subway hence that explains it all for me. make the same test while at home on wifi and i'm sure you get over 6h SOT. as to the right term for underground, it depends where you are. London=Underground, Paris=Metro, US=Subway, D=U-Bahn (not U-Boot LOL) and so on :)

BTW with multiwindow you could have the benefit of monotoring with any app + something else on desplay like the video in my example.

did you ever try cataclysm rom? more i won't say to remain fair LOL

EDIT: as to AZ, did you check permissions, perhaps it cannot access your storage?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
a) Max voltage for me was about 4396mV. At 96%. Lol.

I don't think that reading is entirely accurate. As soon as I started hitting it, the %/h usage ramped to 120%, lol.

Regardless, the battery doesn't look that fudged up. I would consider replacing it, if I were guaranteed that is the issue.

About the signal coverage at the metro (underground WHATEVER)... I don't think switching between "towers" (underground tower lol) kills the battery that much. I mean even when I'm outdoors, at the surface... battery level drops pretty fast. And I'm not gonna stand still for 8 hours straight if that's what the culprit is (come on, this is nonsense).

Perhaps it's the modem software...? I'm on 95R.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
hi,

that max voltage is on charger or right after disconnecting before stats do their next update, getting that as well but it's not relevant, hence doesn't count

further you just discarded facts as "non-sens" that will prevent you from solving or understanding how your phone uses battery

low cell signal strength is on of the very largest battery consumer at all and driving and walking means you drive out of range of one cell tower and the phone starts to seek a better signal until if found one and so on, which means it's the worst for cell signal you can have.

in a subways it's even worse because nowhere on the surface, not even on a highway you will ever go from one transmitter to another so quickly and in endless succession.

further and this is why i do not understand why you doubt this, your own statistics which you posted yesterday show cell data as the second biggest consumer with over 700mA next to display with around 1200mA. hence not only the theory but the real world as well told you the story.

further i recommend to read up some more on this topic, for example here, slightly alter the search terms and you get even more input:

https://www.google.es/search?client...&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=z956VpeELI-x8wfFm4aIDw

non-sense is not a term which is very flatering, consider that please ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
If you're having trouble with cell signal draining battery, have you tried latest radio? 32R is the latest one.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
First of all, allow me to apologize for perhaps misuing the term "non-sense". If anything, I was trying to explain how I feel about something, not that I consider what you are saying to be non-sense.

1) I believe so, yes.

2) So... all those people that claim to get 6+ hours of SoT with 100% brightness were standing in one place? Even if I do that, my SoT doesn't skyrocket :( that's what I meant with the "non-sensical" part from my previous post. But my wording was probably way off, and by now I lost my train of thoughts anyway...

3) Same as 2) :(

4) I guess back when I said that, I was still in denial, thinking of those Android publications that said the current monitor in Marshmallow's Battery Usage are not exactly accurate. So... they are accurate, after all.

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

32R... you mean D4.01-9625-05.32+FSG-9625-02.109?

I believe that is the latest - although I don't fully understand how these naming schemes work. I went on to flash it... Let's see how things go now. I hope this modem handles jumping between network modes correctly... without getting stuck on 2G after the 3G coverage has went down and back up again... like that first Marshmallow modem release I tried.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

So... [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]... with all that said... If I were to put my phone on airplane mode and only use Wi-Fi (no cellular signal at all), my battery life should... skyrocket...?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
exactly my dear friend, there are really people who drive by car to work an sit the entire day in their office chair like myself LOL

in the car is a charger, hence no drain and in the office may be a charger but often devices are loose on the desk and then if not an office then a store or any other kind of fixed working place. i would even swear that only a minority ( many but still a minority ) are moving around all day without a car. most people who use the subway ( not all but most ) commute to their office or other kind of fixed work place and back in the evening, so again, only a minority is on the move the entire day by public transport or on foot and the great majority either commutes back and forth or has a car with a dock or a charging cable.

so yes that's exactly how it is. all good and i was sure you didn't mean it but then it still stings despite better knowledge :) ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
You commute to the office, by train, by bus... or drive there with your car = switching between cellular towers. Or... hang on... Are you saying that those people who claimed 6+ hours of SoT... were not achieving this on a SINGLE charge, but multiple small charges throughout the day...?! :confused:

Regardless. Remember yesterday's battery results? I got home with ~40% or so remaining. My phone wasn't switching between cellular towers for the time I was at home... yet the battery drained so fast. See my point? :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Not quite true. I do get around 6h SOT almost every charge. And I work at 2 - 3 different locations in different parts of my town. I commute either by car or bike/walking. I also walk around town with my dog and listen to music while getting to work. I'm practically never using the same cellular towers on 2 consecutive days yet still manage to pull off 6h SOT as mentioned.

I also don't have any opportunities to charge at work so my readings come from single charges only which I do either every night or every second night if usage has been moderate.

My cellular signal is quite stable almost everywhere in town but at home my WIFI network it isn't as stable and fluctuates a bit.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] KonoeKyon:
There's a lot of variables that dictate it and one example is travel/commute. If you are lucky to have a lot of towers with good signal, it might not affect battery as negatively as if the signal between towers fluctuates a lot.

I get different battery life depending on where I am. On the days I work, I usually average 4 to 4 and half hours sot with 20-30% left when I go to sleep. I work in a factory and the phone sits unused in my pocket between breaks. It has horrible signal and the Wi-Fi is not that great either.

On days I'm home, I average 6 and half hours easily.

On days I'm at my girlfriends place, I get about 4 and half before having to charge again, her house is horrible for signal, there's no cell signal through 95% of the place.

I do have my phone overclocked to 3033, and unless I'm benchmarking, the overclock has minimal impact on my battery life.

That's 3 different outcomes for what I average with one device, it all depends on location for me.

Oh and Facebook sucks for battery, I had it on my phone for 3 weeks and without using it or the messenger, my sot time averaged over a hour less. There's plenty of apps that can cause issues like that, even when they don't show up in your battery stats.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Yeah. Look. There we go. :(

Also, I see you're from Sweden. So, yay! There goes my theory for "modems are **** for Europe".
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Finland

But close enough. And some modems are :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
I'm not using Facebook anymore. And the battery life is pretty much the same.

I'm on the latest modem right now (31R). Last night, at my desk, I had full bars : -77 dBm. Right now, at my desk, I have 4 bars, -93 dBm. No, I don't have a copper window curtain :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Wait a second... I flashed shamu_Baseband_D4.01-9625-05.32+FSG-9625-02.109.zip. I thought that's 32R?

But in Settings - About phone, it says baseband is 05.31R :eek: :eek :eek:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] KonoeKyon:
I think the USA phone it's 32r and everywhere else it shows up as 31r.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
So it shows up as 32R or 31R depending on the hardware? Interesting.

Anyway, I'll see how things go today with the new modem and come back with another report in the evening.

-----

I'm outside. Signal meter is stuck at 4 bars. And it's been like this for 3 km :eek:

The status bar signal meter refreshes less often, apparently. Same for Settings - About - Status - SIM Status - the dBm indicator

Any ideas why? I'm new to this modem, maybe there are little quirks I need to know about?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ghisy:
[MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION], off topic but you should maybe hide your IMEI and phone number on your screenshot!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Thanks! I forgot about that. Didn't even pay much attention to it, actually, as I implied most people around here are good people, and wouldn't go that far to harm me (what can they do, anyway?).

Just got back home. As I was going up the stairs to my apartment, signal dropped a bit (normal, due to the structure in that part of the building). Signal was down to 2 bars (-105 dBm 4 asu). Now, I'm in my room... and in the exact same spot where I usually have -77 dBm (full signal), now I still have 2 bars (-105 dBm 4 asu). I did a speedtest (while it was indicating 2 bars), and the speeds were the same as if I had full signal, so it's just an issue with the indicators. Still, what the hell? This 31R, the most recent one... is acting weird on my phone :eek:

Edit : oh, after ~30 minutes or so, it refreshed - full bars now.

Have a look at the battery usage so far. Cell standby used far less power than with the previous modem (~100 mAh, compared to 700). Even so, SoT didn't change much.

Oh and see the graphs. That last portion of the cellular network signal which is red... is due to the signal indicator getting stuck when I got back home, I guess. :confused:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I'm not too familiar with all the intricacies of how flashing a different radio affects signal and such :) but I know when I was on 5.1.1 and before I switched to 6.0 I went ahead and flashed the 6.0 radio and signal was absolutely horrible for me. I could barely keep a connection at all in spots where I normally have full bars. When I flipped from 5.1.1 to 6.0 I went ahead and flashed the factory image, including the radio and my signal was really good. For my input, I think there must have been some fairly major changes in radios and maybe there's some little bugs in there. Now, this isn't scientific, more of a guess based off personal experience, but naturally :) I would just go up the line: 5.1.1, 6.0, and 6.1.1 radios and just stick with whatever it is that you get the best signal/least drain with. Not sure if there was a change between how those different radios use the hardware, but it seems to me flashing the different radios between those three android versions has a much bigger impact on signal and drain than I've ever seen before. But, when I went to 6.0.1 I've been using the 6.0.1 radio and that's been working really solid for me on tmob.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] galapagos:
Why? Just grab it from the stock image.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
I've no idea which radio is for what. :confused:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
[MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] and everybody else interested in this...

What do you think of yesterday's battery results? BBS log is here. Screenshots here. I'd say this radio was easier on the battery. This was with 32R (02.109), not sure how to call it.

I'm now giving 98R (back from LP era, I believe) a try. I don't get how these R's work... 32R is newer than 98R... :confused:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] KonoeKyon:
Look at the full radio name, 98r is 02.98r, 32r is 05.32r+FSG-9625-02.109

Not sure of what the extra stuff on the newer radios means, I believe it's for Wi-Fi calling on certain carriers, but as you can see the full version makes more sense as to which is newer than just 32r vs 98r.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PielunA:
Yes. It's a way.

But in case of coming from different kernel, they should flash the stock kernel first.

Since there are many stock rom users who use root, xposed and kernel on that, it may helps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
So... D4.0-8625-02.98 is 98R. Which I believe is the latest for Lollipop? Cause from there on, the naming scheme changes... D4.01-9625-05.16+FSG-9625-02.94 (16R? for Marshmallow?)...

It starts jumping and flashing with all the apps that were running start flashing on the screen very quickly.

This settles itself down after a couple of secs most times, but i had to force reboot my phone once.

Very akin to when you connect to a faulty charger/point & the device behaves weird.

i can't really say if it has anything to do with the kernel or not cos from day one i've been on Elemental
