Day 1: Clean 6.0 Flash, Stock with Elemental-X Express (Rooted)

If I didn't know any better and someone installed M without telling me, I don't think I'd notice a difference.

Only 39 minutes of screen on time and I'm down to 66%. Earlier in the day, I listened to some Spotify while driving for about 15 minutes, afterwards, it went rouge and ate up an hour and four minutes of mobile radio time. This kind of looks like the radio active bug... Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

My phone has sat idle on my desk for bulk of today, so doze should've been working, but something is keeping it up.

I turned off all my Wakelock / Battery logging apps because I wasn't sure if they'd affect doze. (Safe than sorry) I'm going to give it another couple days before I turn them on, hopefully by then everything is done downloading. Looking at your Spotify

So far, kind of dissapointed. Hopefully today is just my apps catching up.
[Nexus 5 General] prog19:
It sure looks like the mobile active radio bug

My battery seems to be pretty good except when there is a weak wifi signal.
[Nexus 5 General] B3RL1N:
sigh - I was so hesitant to flash ElementalX for this exact reason.

I'm just going to wait until Chainfire or anyone else has better root solution then start from scratch again.
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
Well I lost one percent in 6 hours over night, pretty impressed with that. Using stock with elemental x, rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] luckana:
I am also impressed with the battery life. I've gone through 3 full cycles now, none of which dropped below 3hrs of SOT. I'd say that's awesome, i happened to have really bad drain on lollipop, constantly

Ps. I dont know if its just me or the phone runs soo much cooler than before (cooler, temperature wise). Even when playing graphic intense games for extended periods of time, the phone retains a really neutral temperature which is actually pretty surprising, considering the fact that before it used to get reeeally warm. Really warm.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
I experience terrible battery since upgrading to M.

First of all, the Wi-Fi spends most of my battery and it's time on is like 10 hours, although the wifi was on only 2 hours. Like I cannot stop it.

Second, when I woke up the battery was charged up to 75% and that's it... I don't understand why and how.

Overall, terrible battery today.
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
My battery life has been significantly improved, off charge yesterday morning at 9am and at 11pm i'd 38% battery left with a shade under 3 hours SOT all of which was while using mobile data. So far today its been off charge for the last 5 hours and although its not done much, maybe 15 text messages and a few emails the battery is at 97% still.

Completely stock.
[Nexus 5 General] prog19:
Its a known bug. If you leave wifi range and then turn it off, it will still show as on in the battery stats.

Unfortunatelly you have to remember to turn wifi off before leaving the range to avoid this bug.

[Nexus 5 General] mcsingh:
Yeah, I have a bad feeling that the mobile radio active bug is still present. I have noticed multiple apps with mobile radio active times much longer than they should be including the Google app, Gmail, Chrome, NBC Sports Talk, etc.

Many of these apps have mobile radio active times upwards of 45 minutes when they've only been open for a few minutes. If this bug is still present it is a major failure on Google's part and is making their OS darn near unusable.
[Nexus 5 General] iamnotkurtcobain:
They said they fixed it! Liars. Their Devs can't fix MAJOR bugs. And this bug (and the wifi drain) is here since 1 1/2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
It's true. For some reason today Google Play Services has logged over 1 hour of mobile radio active time. It was non-existent yesterday. Battery is draining faster again.
[Nexus 5 General] nashy10:
Weird, my battery seems to be improving and no google services even show up under battery stats... Also, wifi is near bottom of list. Wonder if these reports are device specific
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
That's how mine looked yesterday.
[Nexus 5 General] daLareid:
I was actually wondering if I had to activate Doze somehow because my phones battery seems to be draining much faster. Been noticing after fully charging to 100% with closed apps and all, if I leave it unplugged for like 20 minutes it quickly goes down to 97% which used to go down to 99% at the most.

**Android 6.0 WiFi Drop/Drain Bug**

Since more and more people are now upgrading their phones to Marshmallow, more and more people are affected by the WiFi/battery drain bug I got hit with in the first preview version.

If your WiFi drops all the time and/or WiFi is listed as #1 battery spender in your battery overview, you are victim to this bug. So far I only heard about Nexus 5 and 6 users that suffered from it.

The bug has since then been acknowledged by Google and I sure hope it will be fixed soon, either via a new build or maybe via an Google Connectivity Services update if that is enough?

Here's the bug tracker entry if you want to follow: https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=2960

A reboot fixes it temporarily.
[Nexus 5 General] and313:
We have a battery life now on the n5 again. And yes the wifi bug, which is still being calculated based on preprogramed data... Which means its not real
[Nexus 5 General] dkkerry:
I agree, I have the WIFI as the biggest battery drainer but my battery life is normal which leads me to think that it's not real.
[Nexus 5 General] svanheulen:
This is the same battery life I would get on 5.1.1, but I try to keep my phone use to a minimum so I always get really good battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] prog19:
Today i got the best deep sleep ratio since ive got my nexus 5.

14h3 min of total time

5h1min wake time

4h5min of screen on time

55 min of wakelocks

94% of deep sleep.

Soon i will post the screens

I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive :)
[Nexus 5 General] tanjiajun_34:
And that is why I switched to an iPhone instead. Google developers just cannot be trusted. Lied about fixing miscellaneous battery drain bug on Lollipop, lied again and again till 5.1.1 for the memory leak bug. (Not sure if it is fully fixed till now). Ignoring the mobile active bug despite it is the top few more starred bug that the bug tracker. The Bluetooth audio stuttering bug another top few more starred bug since 4.2 till now still hasn't fix. I don't know maybe Google just isn't a software company. Too much disappointment on the Lollipop and it seems to continue on Android M.
[Nexus 5 General] michaelopolis:
best battery I've had on my N5 is deffo M, doze works great
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
I never get more than 2.5 hours or so screen on time. Do you people who get like 4+ hours watch a lot of videos/movies or something? That's the only way I could see it lasting that long.

I wonder why google didn't wait until later to release M? hey had a good month or more before the 5x and 6p are released to fix stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] H0tep:
I'm starting to consider iPhone too :(
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
Because by releasing it now they've just picked up several thousand free beta testers to report bugs so they can fix some of them by the time the 5x and 6p are released.

It's Genius, another Google give you something for 'nothing' move.

Well with my old nexus5 2 and half hour seems great.
[Nexus 5 General] }{Alienz}{:
Not impressed with Android 6.0's battery life AT all.

Clean install of the factory images and several power charges.

Overnight with ONLY wifi enabled, it drained 2% an hour. If that's "good" then someone should shoot me.

I don't have the wifi bug (scanning is disabled)

No apps were draining the battery

Phone seemed to sleep great
[Nexus 5 General] prog19:
Today i turned on the battery saving mode in around 50% because i am on the university and i dont like to receive notifications every minute. I am going for the best battery on the nexus 5 since ive got it.

4g all the way, google now on, and ok google on.

But i use the phone mostly to text and browse while on lte.

Only at home i use it with youtube and gaming

I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive :)
[Nexus 5 General] tanjiajun_34:
glad that you are happy with your phone then ?
[Nexus 5 General] Anubarak16:
My Battery life dropped down like hell.. I'm using xTraSmooth and lose about 10% per hour when my phones does nothing at all. My maximum SoT was 2h I dont know why but wlan, google play services and cell standby are draning like hell and I have no idea how to fix it - even airplane mode dont work xD
[Nexus 5 General] Quickfire:
How do I turn on Doze? I don't see anything that references "Doze". I'm guessing it's the battery optimization option under Battery stats? Anyway I can't seem to be able to turn it on - it is off by default, and if I turn it on, go back, and then go back into battery optimization, it is turned off again. Any idea why this is happening?

But my idle battery stat last night was great... dropped like 1-2% over 10 hours, when it usually drops about 10-15% in the same period.
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
I'm loving M.. phone off charge at 8am and it's still at 96% at 1.30pm. That's just sat in my pocket, of course, as I'm at work. That's somewhat better than I was getting even in preview 3.
[Nexus 5 General] iamterence:
You don't. It's an automatic under-the-hood process.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
I am :)

My nexus 5 is the most interesting piece of hardware I own. I can do so much for a price so low. I feel spoiled when I look at all the overpriced flagship.
[Nexus 5 General] tanjiajun_34:
I agree as well. It is awesome. It is my first phone with OIS camera and I was so damn impressed with it. The problem with it is storage, my music is taking up the whole 32gb so I have to upgrade. Another problem is the battery as well.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
Well 2300mAh, it was bound to be bad since day one :D and now that our battery are getting old..

I knew what I was buying. It get me through the day ( the lollipop period was hard since the battery life sucked for me, my fault I dirty flashed 5.0 and onwards). Android M is a loot better. I didn't use my powerbank since the day I flashed M.
[Nexus 5 General] ashutosh90:
People who keep their Nexus 5 beside their pillow on the bed while sleeping... Does Doze work for you too ?

From the official documentation I understand that Doze starts working when the phone is not charging, screen is off and the phone is stationary.

So I want to know if people who keep their phone on their bed while sleeping can get the benefit of Doze or not ?

Because the phone might not be completely stationary on bed as the bed and mattress shakes a bit due to body movement.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
Whoever has the "wifi uses mostly the battery" disable wifi scanning.

Settings -> Location -> the three dots on the upper right corner -> Scanning -> disable wi-fi scanning
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
Doesnt work for me. :) as reported in the "Wifi drain" post. It's not a real drain.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

why would you keep your phone on your mattress when sleeping Oo.
[Nexus 5 General] ashutosh90:
Many people have the habit of keeping their phones beside their pillows while sleeping... Many people don't have a side table near their bed to keep the phone. Hence.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
For me it is a real drain. I used to get 10 hours uptime, barely 1 hour SOT before disabling it. I used to go to work at 8:30AM and come back at 5PM with phone turned off because it was out of juice since upgrading to M.

After I disabled wifi scanning, wifi no longer apears at the battery stats + I have 3 hours SOT and 30% more battery to go.
[Nexus 5 General] afbengochea:
Where do you find the scanning always available option? I don't see it under advanced in WiFi settings.
[Nexus 5 General] kicksilver:
I find standby drain much lower in M than in Lollipop.

I take the phone from my pocket now without worrying if the battery was cut in half since last time I picked it up.

iOS level of reliability.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
3 Hours of SOT ? i need proof here, because regarding my personnal experience, you can't have 3 hours of SOT when you stay connected.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
I'm like opposite from what people are saying.. I've gone back to dev preview 3.

I charged my phone on M and left it at 100% and went to bed. Woke up with 89% and battery stats says 2% wifi 1% android system. That's 11% drop doing nothing for 8 hours!!

On DP3 i know already that i get 2-3% drop doing the exact same thing!
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
Overnight mine is dropping by 1% every 4 or 5 hours.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

I've yet to get under 3 hours SOT with Marshmallow using mobile data.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
I explained on my previous post (#271) in this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
Here it is. In the end I end up with 4 hours of SOT.

By the way I dont think 3 hours of SOT is anything special, I have seen some guys here get like 5-6 hours of SOT. The problem is that I used to get 1 hours of SOT so now is all good.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
yeah, without Wifi nor LTE reception...
[Nexus 5 General] GiantAxe:
personally, my battery life is horrible.

on CM12.1 if i charged my battery to 100% and took it off the charger at morning and then not using the phone i would have 90% percent left at the evening.

and around 70% the next day when i wake up.

i only ever used my phone for like 1 hour yesterday to listen to some music, this morning my battery was at 28%. and i haven't done anything with it.

wifi scan etc are off and I clean flashed Marshmallow with a factory reset.

I might just switch back to CM 12.1 for this, sure the N5 has a crappy battery but this is just rediculous.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
My wifi was on ALL the time when I took that screenshot.

Anyway, I dont need to prove you anything, I am happy that finally after turning off wifi scanning I get 3-4 hours of SOT.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
yeah :) maybe it's because i mostly use my phone with LTE. If i have acces to Wifi i don't use it.
[Nexus 5 General] Talos77:
Battery life for me is greatly improved over lollipop. Have 3 hours SOT with 24% battery left and its only dropped about 2% overnight.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Same here hence being back on dev preview 3
[Nexus 5 General] jnsson:
My battery life on 6.0 with hells-Core Kernel

Before I installed hells-Core yesterday, I got just around 2 hours of SOT.

Skickat från min Nexus 5 via Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 General] The-Droidster:
I'm getting a really solid idle time with M. I sleep for around 7 hrs and it used to drop by 8-10 % on lollipop but with M I'm getting just about 1% drop consistently for the last 5 days. As for the SOT...meh same old story. Can't complain though....this thing is like ancient now...lol. Running Lean-Stock-Debloated ROM with ELX Kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] phstrat:
I'm getting some of the best battery life ever on marshmallow... consistently getting 5 - 5.5 hours of SoT and that's with the Wi-Fi bug. I sideloaded mine using adb and fastboot. I can post some screenshots if you want . I'm wondering if the poor battery life people are ones that did the OTA?
[Nexus 5 General] msgfromside3:
Better battery life for sure. I have a few apps causing drain in the background before so I had to use greenify to shut them down. In fact I think now I can live without having root as my primary reason for root is the battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] rbrenart:
Mixed for me. When doze works right I'm getting great battery life, but then some days it just never seems to kick in. I haven't rooted yet, so I'm not sure what's causing the wakelocks, but my camera had 23 minutes of use and 5.5 hours of keep awake time today, so I guess I'll start investigating there.
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
I get over 3 hours SOT using 3/4g people keep telling you but you seem incapable of believing anyone.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
Yeah because many of the people who report in XDA exaggerate, a lot. ;)

When you see screenshot over 3hrs-4hours, each time you can see that WiFi was always connected. I've yet to see a 3hrs screenshot with 4G connected and used and WiFi used only for localisation.

My personal experience contradict the claims, it's not a big deal anyway ;)
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
So stop banging on about it then.
[Nexus 5 General] ethanfel:
Ho you are the one who say what we can post here ? No, so I allow to ignore my post and piss off.
[Nexus 5 General] }{Alienz}{:
On the factory 6.0 image with Elemental X for kernel. Phone was FULLY wiped when installing.

50% battery drain overnights on average connected to Wi-Fi the whole time and doing nothing.

Phone sleeps OK and no apps seem to be culprits of this - see screenshot

I believe Doze activated one night and had great battery life then but NEVER since.

I'm perplexed...
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
I think this is just project volta all over again.

I have a buddy who has a windows phone (lumia 640 I think) and that thing gets like 2-3 days of battery life on a 2500mah battery. It is incredible seeing his phone sitting at 63% after over a day of use.
[Nexus 5 General] Wout2426:
Never had better. Cataclysm 6.0.

Been busy with a backup in recovery, so could be even better.
[Nexus 5 General] phstrat:
This was all under a Wi-Fi umbrella but still pretty impressive. I was using Tapatalk and reddit_is_fun in night mode alot which may help being dark screens, but I was also watching some YouTube videos, using Chrome browsing, minesweeper, anything I could do to rack up screen time to test it ... I sideloaded from 4.4.4 stock/rooted and I was getting pathetic battery life. It's like I have a brand new device now. This is how the device should have performed all along... I've been using it a fair amount today all day long at work and right now 7:00pm, 12hrs off charge, and I have 51% battery left snd 2hrs SoT..

I'm not doing another thing to it, I've got it rooted and twrp installed, I somehow lucked out and got s*** right, I ain't touching the sucker anymore and hopefully it don't degrade over time.
[Nexus 5 General] mcsingh:
My battery life feels like it is getting worse. Not sure what is causing the constant drop in battery but Android system and OS seem to be draining the device. Also, had a random reboot which is the cause for the large gap and drop in battery. Only OS version that provided usable battery life for me was KitKat.
[Nexus 5 General] legendnexus:
Am I the only one getting 2.5 hours of SOT ? It is still somewhat better than my Lollipop experience. I also change my battery couple months ago
[Nexus 5 General] }{Alienz}{:
Hello all,

Earlier I reported terrible battery life on 6.0 (Doze seemingly was not engaging at all overnights).

I'm here to say that I now get great battery life. Last 2 nights Doze was working as I lost ~5% all night.

The only things I changed on my phone were moving up to Elemental 6.0.1 kernel and using SuperSU 2.53. So if your phone isn't dozing off properly, give these a go.
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
I'm getting even better battery life than before. SoT was 2.5-3 hours before but now its constantly over 3, even edging back to the 4+ I used to get on 4.4.0 From what I can see the app standby is really kicking in after a week I can see a lot of my infrequently used apps are inactive as soon as II get off the plug.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Finally got 3 hours of SOT. First time since flashing Marshmallow. I changed exactly three things.

1. Deleted chronus widget. I have a suspicion it was causing battery drain even though it wasn't showing up in the stats. Probably my fault on how often I had it refreshing or whatever.

2. Flashed new stock boot.img from chainfire. I am not even sure if it was updated but I flashed it anyway. I was using a modified stock boot.img before as well just for root.

3.Flashed new superSU 2.53

I doubt it was number 2 or 3 but those are the only things I did. I just used my phone randomly throughout the day. Didn't watch or stream any video. Mostly just Chrome, News and Weather and greader. I am perfectly happy with 3 hours SOT as that's about where I was at when I got this phone. I did replace the battery a couple months ago as well but until now battery life on M has been pretty bad. I am only on wifi during the evening though I leave it on all day because I don't like having to turn it on and off all the time. You can see my cell signal fluctuates a lot and I am sure those low signal times are hitting my battery pretty hard. 22% of the time I am without signal though I don't feel like I am without signal that much. I never miss calls or texts.(I work in the basement of a hospital and get poor reception and hang out in my basement at home a lot which is really low reception)
[Nexus 5 General] mcsingh:
Well lo and behold, looks like that mobile radio active bug is still hanging around. My screen had been on for 10 minutes but I lost 23% battery during that time, so I looked at the battery stats and Twitter was number one. And now I know the reason why. This is getting beyond frustrating and is making me look at an iPhone instead of Android.
[Nexus 5 General] AliLaPointe:
This Doze feature is simply tremendous. ElementalX, stock rom, rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] eilegz:
my experience have been worse, exchange service its draining my battery life
[Nexus 5 General] The-Droidster:
I don't seem to find any SuperSU 2.53. All I'm getting is 2.52 as the latest beta. Any link?
[Nexus 5 General] telekenetix:
Seems to help a lot with my overnight battery drain. I don't charge my phone at night, so I would generally lose 10-15% easily, sometimes 20%. Now, the past few nights since I've update to M, I lose 1-3% overnight. That's a big improvement!
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Ahh, sorry. That's the one I meant.
[Nexus 5 General] MrMarques01:
Has anyone seen this already? Seems like the computed power consumption can be quite crappy sometimes
[Nexus 5 General] Black_Eyes:
Great Great

Lol
[Nexus 5 General] menaceinc:
I did a factory reset and keep it fully stock, the battery life is improved a lot.
[Nexus 5 General] kinderko1000:
I think the battery life is better than lollipop ;). Look at first picture it took only 2% of my battery during night and at the second one you can see my mobile can charge even it is not plugged in :D
[Nexus 5 General] The-Droidster:
Oh, NVM! :)
[Nexus 5 General] dazrok:
I'm getting a solid 3.5 hrs OST, not really matters if I'm on 3G or WiFi.

Stand by time isn't so great most visible if WiFi is turned on but not connected.
[Nexus 5 General] jshames:
excellent battery life

I noticed an immediate significant improvement in standby time when I did a clean update to stock M+root.

Moreover in the last few days there must have been some additional additional fix with one of the Google system updates, the standby battery life is now amazing, in the order of 2-3 days with light use. I'm not using Wifi most of the time. Don't know if I inadvertently did something else, but I am really pleased.

No more hunting for the charger at the end of the day.

I don't think there's much change in screen on time.
[Nexus 5 General] wilbur-force:
I was getting fantastic battery until the last two days when I've started getting 30% battery on exchange services :confused:
