After some days of testing and back to the normal day use of my phone, I can say that Android M battery life is same as Lollipop, not more and not less.

Probably Doze helped people that are using apps that was often waking up the device from deep sleep.
[Nexus 5 General] .jond:
Running M with ElementalX kernel(stock settings).

Battery life is amazing. About 1.5 days on a charge.
[Nexus 5 General] Sn00ky:
Not a real daily usage but I'd say pretty impressive, when torturing it!

Brightness on 10%, only on Wifi, Cataclysm + ElementalX, CPU set to run always at 4 cores. Could've done better if I used the mpdecision.

Took it off the charger and put it in my pocket today at 7am.

At 11am, I made a phone call and, I was at 97%

Pretty impressive standby drain, for a device on LTE.
[Nexus 5 General] htcdesire24:
hello mcsingh

did you find a solution for the problem?

I also have random reboots while using the n5 and as at your screenshots battery drops many points after restart.

When I put it to standby after reboots the battery wins a few points again.

Reboots also happen in different situations, so I think one specific used app couldn´t be the problem :(
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I seem to be the lucky one here... Play services isnt even taking 1% for me...chrome stands at 1% (mobile radio active only for 7mins) .. Slept at 14% and woke up wid 16% lol..will upload ss when i download tapatalk ...(forum runner cannot load images on M)

[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
I'm also wondering of if setting animation scale at .50 instead of 1.00 drains battery. I have feeling it does. Only reason why I'm not going back to 5.1,1 I've noticed the UI is just so smoother maybe not everywhere but most places. They took care of consumption in play services but chrome and Google app are still up there.
[Nexus 5 General] incaner:
i cant imagine if you turn the animation scale down that the battery consumption will change drastically...

Android-System for me is using much CPU while its not in the foreground (animations are foreground) so it shouldnt fix it
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
Yes I agree android system and Google app and chrome seem to drain. It looks like they only fixed play services because it was always at the top. Why couldn't they fix it all or will they

[Nexus 5 General] Greg1007:
Update on my battery performance. Unlike the first two cycles, in which I reported significantly lower battery life, I'm now seeing an excellent battery life, even better than on Lollipop with Greenify premium Xposed features. Most noticeable is the standby time being improved. Will post battery stat screenshots at the end of this cycle.

I should mention that this came after a full discharge and full recharge without turning back on.

This is an improved version of lollipop with just a new name. More mature than lollipop. Its not like they dropped lollipop and started with something entirely new .

Have you even used it? Its been pretty stable and runs smooth.

I have to say that my battery on idle, now with M is excellent!!! Usually I would get with a custom kernel about 3 to 4% during the night, about 6 to 8 hours... but now... hell, yesterday after I woke up, about 10 hours, my phone didn't even lost 1% of battery!!! I have wifi turn off, location on battery mode, 3G mode but Internet turn off, bluetooth ON

The only thing that is still the same it the ****y battery that I have when I'm using the phone, ie screen turning on. No matter what I do, I can't get more than 3 hours of SOT... stupid phone...

Hey Andras, How do you compare to CM 12.1 CAF? For me, I don't miss a thing, especially the Sleep of Death. Battery life is comparable if not better on M and I find I really don't miss any CM "features"

Mine's fine @4%

Sent from my Android M Nexus 5 yo!
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
As much as I enjoyed running the CAF builds I do agree. Any battery savings from Ultra Low Power mode were useless for me from the reboots that would swipe away 5-10% percent battery at a time.
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
What do you mean? I have been using CAF builds and never had a reboot... did you flash another kernel?

Mobile Radio Active Bug

Here are some screenshots of the bug in action. I was surprised that the phone is not shown as awake during that period. It is worth mentioning that the phone was left idle through the night, on WiFi. Anyone else seeing this? I am sure that Google Play Services showed 1-2% usage for the whole day, the first two days on the M preview. Maybe some update.
[Nexus 5 General] vpraveenis:
I got this too... The play services keeps the mobile radio active for more than 2hrs. Think its happening for the past 2 days or so.

Here is another screenshot after 4 hours. I have to say that I disabled and enabled Google Play Services, and since then, in the last hour, the time has gone up for 5 seconds only. Will continue checking.
[Nexus 5 General] ichundu:
I've been experiencing exactly the same in the last 3-4 days and I'm on 5.1.1. And the phone is not awake according to battery stats but i see gps drain is higher than usual. The services that are mostly awaking my device are GCoreFlp, NlpWakeLock and *net_scheduler* according to WLD with thousands of wakeups. It seems an issue with play services versions 7.5+ i was not having so much wakelocks previously on version 7.3.29.

Is anyone else having a lot of WiFi disconnecting issues? On every Wi-Fi network I've used over the past week I notice at different times that the phone has jumped to mobile data then jumps back to Wi-Fi. This is causing high Android OS battery usage. Today it held the phone awake for over 5 hours. Weird thing is that does not show in the battery graph.

Battery life is ecxellent. Maybe I'm a lucky one, nothing is draining my battery. I got root with hell's kernel but did no adjustments. I always had more drain than wanted on standby, but now I am on 0,44% per hour. I can charge in the evening to about 80-85% do my normal things, like whtasapp and so on, I just loose like 3% in the night go to work, as well with normal use, and come back home in the afternoon with 60-65 %.

Before that was only possible with a full charge in the morning. Great.
[Nexus 5 General] F'n Amazing:
i'm still getting standby drain and its making me crazy trying to diagnose it. pretty sure doze mode ain't working for me cause i dont think my phone is ever going into deep sleep. check out the battery screens, any ideas on a cure?
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
What happen to your rom for M?
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Same here. Are you getting large amounts of Android OS usage? Mine has been holding the phone awake over 5 hours a day but it doesn't show up in stock battery graph or GSAM. I just reflashed and did not install any user apps and it's still there.
[Nexus 5 General] F'n Amazing:
yeah i am, time held awake has now eclipsed 2 hours and ive barely used the phone lol. total screen on time per charge has been 3hrs+ but i feel like it would and should be so much better if the phone would actually go into deep sleep. I don't suffer from poor signal, and barely use my phone when i'm at work, so if it would just sleep properly, it shouldnt discharge very much at all while i'm at work.
[Nexus 5 General] xstokerx:
3-4 hours on LTE in decent to good coverage areas seems just a tinny bit better then 5.1 I'm also using the alternative kernel for root so idk if that makes any difference

Standby battery discharge has turned from really great, unlike I have ever experienced on the Nexus 5, to atrocious, in a week. That Android OS keep awake though. I don't have root, but I'm sure that the cause is Google Play Services. Notice how WiFi fails and there are fewer wakeups. Really weird...

I never use WiFi cuz LTE in my area is faster so I can't comment on that but by the looks of your pics that's what's happening wifis failing i read some were this is a bug in M with handleing WiFi wile asleep

[Nexus 5 General] resident0915:
My findings:

The first day or two, I thought that M was going to be really good for battery life but things then started going downhill. I was struggling to get 2 hours SOT on stock settings, with Chrome and Android OS eating up most of the battery (other than the screen). I had enabled userdebug and multiwindow. I noticed that disabling multiwindow and changing it back to user helped a little but not significantly.

I then switched to Racer M kernel and rooted. Below average battery life continued (2-3 hours SOT). Then I finally installed Kernel Adiutor to check things out. For some reason, the default governor was set to Performance and I was only hitting speeds between 1200-2200MHz.

I set the max to 1700MHz and the min to 300MHz and changed the governor to conservative and I'm back to being able to get somewhere between 3-4 SOT over a full day of use. It's not the best battery life I've had on this device but it's much better than before and the UI is still smooth.
[Nexus 5 General] vasilmkd:
Yeah, 22 days of standby, but in reality, it would only last only about 4 because on day 3 you get hit with the Android OS keep awake cheese and Google Play Services, draining the battery on a phone near you.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Have you been getting Play Services force closes?

M ran okay for a week but the past 3 days Play Services keeps stopping with no changes to the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] vasilmkd:
Fortunately no, uptime is around 170 hours now and everything is stable, the only real problem is the constant, I suppose, location checking which keeps the device awake. I am not rooted, that is why I say that I cannot say for sure, but it looks like it.
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
Ouch, thats some major wakelock...It seems that M will be really good with doze on the final version, but right now it gets kinda useless because all the gains regarding battery life get lost because of random wakelocks..
[Nexus 5 General] F'n Amazing:
thats basically what my phone looks like. pretty frustrating. i'm also beginning to believe the doze settings only work at night time (which sounds absurd i know). if i dont plug my phone in and just leave it be when i go to sleep, it hibernates nicely. But if i do the same to during the day at work its constantly awake (i have tested this twice now). how does that make any sense?

its really frustrating how much battery gets burned when the screen is off. it just seems so logical that you wouldnt have apps and services pulling data nonstop when the phone is not in use. Or at least shut down polling after a few minutes until the screen is powered on again. :mad::mad::mad:

My batery life has been horrendous. I'll have it off the charger and somewhere from 45 minutes to 4 hours and its dead or under 30% I ordered a replacement battery to test out to see if my battery is just not holding a charge. The battery charges relatively quickly but drains like no tomorrow.

what kernel are you using after rooting and with which kernel have you rooted ?

Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 General] resident0915:
Here's a 25 hour cycle, around 3.5 hours screen on time.

Racer M kernel, 1728Mhz max frequency, conservative governor (no lag at all in the UI). Please excuse the yellow tinge... blue light filter was active.

I keep Wifi on all the time, location services is always on and set to battery saving unless I need to use the GPS. Bluetooth is usually off since I no longer own a car. I would previously also leave it on all the time. Sync/push is always on, and data is always enabled. Blue light filter is also always active. I use Google Now all the time too.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Here's what I look like at the end of a work day. Been almost two weeks with the same usage pattern. First day was great then it went to poop. Not a happy battery.:crying:
[Nexus 5 General] Klaus88:
As for me, 3h of screen, 24h cycle with 10% remaining battery life, with 4 email (2 push), linkedin, facebook, facebook messenger (5 minutes messages) , hangouts (20 minutes messages), skype (no messages), whatsapp (30 minutes messages), twitter (couple of notifications), telegram (around 10 minutes messages) and some chrome navigation and little change in settings and home. Use despair kernel without any major change (same battery life as stock kernel by the way). For me is an heavy boost against Lollipop and Kit Kat.
[Nexus 5 General] vasilmkd:
I'd really like some of that. 2 emails, both push, facebook, fb messenger, skype, whatsapp, twitter, tapatalk, chrome, random instagram time, almost no messages on viber, and barely reaching 2 and a half hours SOT in 16 hour cycle. Android OS drain ftw...
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
Always have google play services at 9% and voice calls 8% and OS at 5%. Is this good? And about 40+ hours without turning off
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Finally gave up on M after two weeks of use and went back to stock. I've been trying to not use wifi to avoid the AndroidOS drain from wifi crashing while in sleep constantly and now was getting mobile radio drain from apps like crazy(seriously Google when are you going to fix this). Hopefully wifi issues won't become 5.2's memory leak issue.
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
But do you get good battery life? Is 5.1.1 better overall? Is that what you mean by going back stock?
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Yeah stock 5.1.1. Wifi still crashes from time to time but I do not get the extremely high Android OS battery usage. I leave every option turned on as I am not worried about getting multiple days of battery usage out of the phone but it still lasts the day while actually using the phone. After the first few good days on Android M it has degraded to barely lasting a work day without me even touching the phone except for 30 minutes of music playback while walking on lunch due to Android OS keeping the phone awake more than 5 hours a day....every day.
[Nexus 5 General] cell2011:
Yea ive noticed voice calls seem to drain the battery a lot im rooted and on despair kernel. Im wondering if not rooted might make a difference. And sometimes I check battery at 75% says 7 days left lol not sure what that's all about lol.
