Personally, I would leave system apps as they are right now, so you don't get any problems.

About data restriction for Google Play Store/Services: I always get notifications they have to be enabled, otherwise you can't download and update apps. Therefore, I leave them as they are.

Google Play Games can be disabled/deleted, you won't have any troubles with that.

GPS: it depends. I've noticed Battery Saving mode is not as accurate as GPS Only, but GPS Only does not always work when you're inside. You just have to test it yourself.. Personally I just use High Accuracy.

I didn't see your screenshots, but I wonder why you would only use airplane mode. It's a phone, it is meant to be used like one in my opinion. Battery life ain't anything, just enjoy the possibilities of the device;)

[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
First of all, thanks a lot for your time and your help!

About system apps, i'll leave them as they are right now, like you said. Data restriction for Google Play Services/Store as well, i'll leave them as they are now, following the sugestion. About Play Games... Probably gonna be disabled.

GPS: i'm gonna make some tests. But basically, Saving Battery really spends less battery, right? So i can leave in Saving mode when i'm at home, for example.

My screenshots are showing how was my battery life in that moment. 3h and few minutes of Screen On, but i was basically using Google Chrome, checking my settings, etc. In that moment, i had 31% remaining..

I'm using airplane mode all the time because i work offshore (15 days), so i don't have signal at all.

Considering that i'm using only airplane mode, i think that my SoT is low. What do you think? I have few apps installed (like I said, 4-5 days with the phone), Brightness about 15% with Auto Brightness, don't have Facebook app installed, etc. I wonder how people can get about 6h with the phone full stock. That's amazing! If i can get 4h and half SoT, using a phone normally (without airplane mode), i'll be happy already.

Best Regards.
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
I really don't know, because I've never really used Battery Saving, considering it's not really accurate for me. But try it yourself;)

When my phone was completely stock, I got around 3,5-4 hours SOT, as well with autobrightness on, no FB app (you can use the app Metal), no Google Now, etc. But with a rooted phone, ElementalX kernel and the use of a profile of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3269557

Maybe it's helpful for you too. I now get about 5h SOT. Greenify with Aggressive Doze works good as well for me;) Good luck. If you have further questions, you can send me a PM.

[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Thanks again. I'll read the thread later and see what i can do.. It's kinda advanced for newbie users :)

I have to try disable Google Now, because it's useless for me, i don't use it at all. I don't know how people can get more than 5h completely stock. Again, it's awesome.

[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
Guys can any one tell me what is the time taken to charge from 0% to 100%.

1)1hr 40mins (100mins)

2)1hr 59mins (119mins)

3)1hr 30mins (90mins)

Please let me know i am facing some issues.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
0-100% I've done a handful of times and I would say I've done it in about 1 hour and 40-45 minutes. But like all fast charging tech, getting to 80% is going to be the fastest and usually I get 15-80 in about an hour.
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
Because i was charging yesterday and what i saw is i started using charging at 17:40 at 13% and 19:25 my charging got completed (100%) with 2 wakelocks at 26% and 96%.

So you see total time 1hr 45mins to charge 87%....isnt dat too much time?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Again, 80-100% is a lot slower than 0-80%.
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
So its fine if phone takes on avg 1hr 50mins to charge?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it could be at times if you're going all the way from 0 or 5 to 100. Especially if the phone gets checked on once in a while. If you really want to get the fastest time to charge, try going into airplane mode prior. Sometimes I can get from 15 or 20 to 90 in only an hour by doing that.
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
Exactly right but i m just concerned about 1 thing everyone takes 100mins to charge 5x why does mine mine take 110mins?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Is it every single time going from 0-100 is 110 minutes for you? Also, you really shouldn't be fully discharging your battery to shutdown. It's not good for the battery.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
+1 to that.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
I'm now on N and I still see the Os frequently doing stuff even when the phone should be in Doze mode.

battery usage though, seems low, less 1% per hour, probably lower on N.

wakelocks time count is now normal.

is it ok? do you see similar lines in your battery graph without any strong effect on the battery?

how much do you see the charge go down per hour while idle like during the night?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Overnight, 2-3% over 7-8 hours.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
With Android 6.0 or N?

With 6.0 was around 5-6 over 7-8 hours during the night..

I had these background processes: facebook, messenger, whatsapp, telegram
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Posted this before but even last Friday into Saturday night I basically got the same doze affect.
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
why is that buddy i really wanna know why cant we discharge to 0%
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
ok but you are on battery save mode, how is different when you are without it?
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
Check this out buddy started charging at 6% on time 21:18 and at 100% it came on 23:02.

So you count it comes to 1hr 50mins i didnt even check my phone in between no notification messages or calls.

So why is it 1hr 50mins (110mins) its taking?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Same difference. I'll take a screenshot of it tomorrow morning without battery saver on.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Hmm. Just noticed that you're in India. I wonder if it's a voltage/frequency difference that's making it slightly longer for you.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

You'll reduce the effectiveness of the battery to hold the charge if you do this regularly.

https://youtu.be/Gb8rsRRy-kg

Skip to around 43 seconds.
[Nexus 5X General] Shaolin007:
Voltage noted was 4.2 while charging and its measured at 2610mah while charging....is this correct?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I'm talking about voltage/frequency of your outlets but that mAh does sound about right when it's at its fastest.

Perhaps when it slows down is more so than my US charging 5X. I did a 60 minute charge test yesterday and went for 30% to 95%. But it did reach 80% in only 40-45 minutes or so.

Update:

So weird but just did 10-89% in 1 hour. It really is quick especially when starting at lower percentages. I say, don't make getting to 100% such a priority. 80-90% is quick enough.
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
I have 6 days using my Nexus 5X. Is true, that the battery gets a better perfomance after some cicles? If so, why?

I'm asking because i'm not exactly happy about the SOT battery (as you can see in page 135).
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
From the looks of your screenshots, you got a little over 3 hours SOT with 31% to go right? That's pretty fine with what many people get here. That's plenty of battery to get to 4 hours as long as it's not streaming video or playing games.
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Thanks.

Yes, 3h and 20min. But i was in flight mode all the time.

Isn't too low? How people can get 5h without airplane mode?

Regards
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Personally I haven't even gotten 5 hours SOT either with my regular use. But in theory, I'm pretty sure I can get 6.25 hours if it's just straight YouTube as I've tested and got 8% drain over 30 minutes while on WiFi. What I've noticed with those who have gotten 5+ hours SOT and 14+ hours total battery time is they're able to really get their phone to get into a good sleep or doze in between the screen being awake.
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Hm.. I see.

Well, sometimes i spend about 10% in 30 minutes using Chrome, right after unplug my phone from the charger.

About the cicles, is that true?

Regards
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Cicles?
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Yes, i've read that after you do some cicles in your battery, normally the battery gets a little better. Is that true?

I have the impression that in my G6 it happened, but i dont know if it is placebo effect.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Oh you mean cycles! Like doing 100% - 0% battery cycling. As I've previously mentioned, not good to be doing that regularly. You'll kill the battery's ability to keep its charge.
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Yes, cycles. Sorry, english mistake.

Cycles, but not purposily. Do cycles using the phone normally... You know, after some weeks the phones you have already done some cycles on normal use, correct?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Define insanity? =D

Stock N DP4 YMMV :D
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
I don't know how people get such results on Android N. For me it was significantly worse than on any M rom. Maybe you just leave the phone on the table with the screen on?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Firstly, saying M is significantly better than N on battery is laughable. I've never gotten 6 hours SOT with M at all using my workflow.

Secondly, did you look at the list of apps? of course I was using the phone by reading stuff like news from google now, facebook, forums like this, personal and work emails both syncing continuously in the background. I also played music for a bit and made a call for almost 2 hours. I set my phone not to sleep every 10 minutes so I usually glance and let it rest afterwards. This is considered light usage for me.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
That's weird then. With my usage ( 80% of the time playing CoC ) I can get 5-6 hours SOT on M, whereas on N I could barely manage to get 4h.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
This is my situation

Night

12 hours on from full charge

30 minutes screen time (= 10%)

80% of battery

So I'm losing slighty less than 1% per hour at night even with Android N and moving the phone where the reception is greenish at least.

This while I had a notification for the whole night. I disabled Ambient Display because I thought it would be a waste to wake up the LCD screen every few seconds for hours and enable the pulse notification led but the performance is similar to the one of the previous night.

In the battery chart, there are many lines of the phone staying awake the whole night.

I don't have any problema with regular use, I can make more than 4 hours of screen time, but I don't want to lose 20% of the battery each day just because the phone it's on.

Please help
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Wait. So you glance at your phone then let your phone rest until it hits the 10 minutes to turn off the screen?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
N has improved the doze feature and RAM management dramatically hence no lags, no slowdowns. It will not be released if you think battery performance is significantly inferior. :D

Show us your best SOT with list of apps so we can tell which is significantly better. Even custom ones hardly reach 6 hours based on my observations.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Uh. You're the only person I've ever heard who let's their screen stay on that long until it sleeps. Sounds like a lot of artificial static screen on time. I'll give that a try today. LOL.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
From a Nexus 5X review:

I tested Doze by leaving the Nexus 5X in standby overnight after charging it to 100% four times. On every test the Nexus 5X lost a piddly 1% of its charge. By comparison my Nexus 6 – still running on Lollipop – lost between 10-15% of its charge when tasked with the same test.

Read more at http://www.trustedreviews.com/nexus-5x-review#P8HVsDKXPOmDxrDZ.99

It's like Doze never starts on my phone. What can I do?
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Try to do factory reset or if you're on custom rom, just clean flash it one more time. I've had a similar issue a couple of days ago. I flashed PA and the doze didn't work at all. Overnight I lost about 30%. I reflashed it and now everything's fine, during 8-10 hour sleep, I lose 1-2%.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
I 've had this since I got the phone, first on 6.0.1 now on N.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Then try to install Better Battery Stats from XDA and check if you have wakelocks. Maybe one of your apps constantly keep your phone awake.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I believe he's tried everything including starting up in safe mode which doesn't start 3rd party apps and still has drain issues.
[Nexus 5X General] HungryKanamit:
These are my stats after not charging my phone last night and getting very normal use out of it. I kept wifi and cell radios on at all times for a better experience of project fi. Made a few calls, played a game for about 30 mins, and answered emails. I did notice the Battery optimization option too in the battery settings, I wonder what it do.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Looks like this will be my typical day while at work. WiFi, cellular, and battery saver on the whole time (Battery saver off during lunch for 30 minutes). As you can see, my network signal is pretty bad being in the orange and red the majority of the time. Going to try turning off the cellular tomorrow and see if that helps. Left work with 25% and YouTube for about 30 minutes during the drive got it to 10%. However, I usually plug to charge while driving but I'm still waiting for 5V/3A charger by Aukey or Anker.
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:
This is a full day at work for me. WiFi on, terrible reception, no battery saving options. My phone has been unplugged since 7 AM. I'll be leaving work with a little under 20% battery life left and have over 3 hours of screen on time.
[Nexus 5X General] ghettopops:
I am about the same drainage as with my +2. Left 5 hrs of work with 71% left. I to don't get good reception at work and at job #1 there is no WiFi. This was with 5 hrs of Bluetooth and only 20 mins of SoT.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
I see a lot of people getting similar results (terrible battery life) so it's either a software issue or the processor sucks
[Nexus 5X General] johnbrighton:
So over 24hrs since NV full charge, light use, screen about 40%. Looking good!
[Nexus 5X General] zerocover:
What sort of witch craft is this?
[Nexus 5X General] robstunner:
Not sure why android os, chrome

and system is so high. My mxpe on marshmallow was no where near this. And that's frustrating.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I would say it's a pretty mixed bag. There's always exceptions with people somehow getting 5+ hours SOT or barely getting to 2 hours.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
Well my RMA devices arrives tomorrow so we'll see how that one performs. My 5X has been nothing but terrible with battery life. The second I turn the display on its nearly a vertical decline so I don't know how it's worse than my G3 was.... My Nexus 6 sips power in comparison and the SOT on it is 5-6 in comparison with auto brightness, GPS high accuracy, 2 accounts syncing, bluetooth paired to AW all day etc...
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Wow you got 5-6 hours on the regular? Well hope your replacement unit does better than your first one. I doubt 5-6 is realistic for the 5X though. I see it more of a 4-5 max.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
It still does almost a year later (I've had to RMA it a few times but this one was made in January so the battery has seen better days). All I want is 3-4 on the 5X which is what my G3 averaged. The G3 had a QHD LCD panel and a 3000mah battery which means it should die much faster but the 5X decided to top that and die after 1.5 hours SOT on average for me.
[Nexus 5X General] alwaysbelieve1:
I've been getting 2, close to 3 if I'm lucky, SOT only and I am NOT very happy with this. I'm really considering strongly to send it back. I don't want the stress of my Phone not lasting me all day with the usage that I want. I don't want to need to live tethered to a charger.
[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
I'm having an opposite experience as a lot of recent responses. On my 2nd full charge I ended up with just under 5 hours SOT (4:55) at 36 hours off charger. Went to bed at 11:30 with 3% (damn USB type C, guess I need more cables) and since I forgot my charger at work was pleasantly surprised to wake up at 06:30 with 2% left. Phone did end up dying before plugging in at 8, but I expected it to die before I woke up. That is a significant improvement for me, my original N5 could barely manage 4 hours SOT over 24 hours, Moto X 2014 was about the same, if not a little worse. I wouldn't say the 5X has stellar battery life, but certainly acceptable.

My use is strictly LTE (mostly various shades of green bar under cell network), with adaptive brightness at about 20-25% (short time at about 90%), location on high accuracy, 2 accounts syncing but only one gives notifications, and ambient display off because it sucks compared to active display on my 2014 Moto X.
[Nexus 5X General] Jexx11:
Not sure how long you've had your 5x, but I was only getting maybe 3 hours SoT my first several days and Doze wasn't working very well either. But the last couple days its gotten a lot better. Today I'm on pace for a little over 5 hours SoT, and Doze has been working much better when phone is idle.

I also keep my phone around 70% brightness which makes a difference.
[Nexus 5X General] dwang:

Hey guys, please answer this poll to help everyone determine the average screen on time they can expect from the N5X.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3233858

SoT Poll
[Nexus 5X General] thesebastian:
The problem with the SoT is that is based in user usage.

If you are reading a book you'll get the best SoT.

If you are watching a movie you'll get excellent SoT.

If you are constantly browsing, scrolling, Tapatalk, specially manipulating the touch screen, then you will get the worst SoT of the 3 scenarios.

It is also affected by the enviroment (if adaptive brightness is enabled). A screen in a dark environment or a dark cloudy day, will use a lower % of brightness.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it's really tough to pick an answer as it can fluctuate day to day. I can't even pick an average yet so maybe I'll wait until the end of the week to vote.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
My SOT is at 1hr 25min and 1s and I'm at 36%battery left. The phone read unplugged at 0530 EST and its 1131EST now. There is no hope for this thing without a custom kernel
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
As you can see with green wifi, doze on and yellow mobile strength I still get a discharge rate of 1.18% per hour.

I'm investigating with Battery Historian

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

The principal kernel wakeup reason, by far, is:

is it normal?

I have 31 minutes of userspace wakelocks
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
it may be fixed, here is what I did:

- disabled background location from foursquare

- disabled any notification from Tapatalk and deleted an old custom app based on forum runner

- disabled Bluetooth and WiFi help for geolocalization

Looking good, I think you nailed it, you've found the culprit.
[Nexus 5X General] lefantome:
had a rate of 0,5% per hour and the phone wasn't even in full doze mode.

My idle drain is 1.5% and I can't seem to lower it. I had wakelocks from Facebook and Messenger, I uninstalled both and am using an alternative. I have 20 wakelocks from Google Play Services..that seems to be the culprit now, over a 5hr period. Any ideas..?

My location services stays off, background and WiFi scanning has always been disabled. The only thing it could be is the Google Account sync which I recently turned off. And the back up of WiFi, passwords and app data. I literally have nothing now for Google. I hope it resolves it...but I would appreciate insight.

Do I really have to buy Titanium Backup Pro and freeze Google Play Services??

I was at 35 wakelocks from Play Services after a few more hours even with my changes I made mentioned above. Ended up buying Titanium Backup Pro, and froze those two system apps and set up Google Drive integration for my user app back up. Will report back in a while.
[Nexus 5X General] lee82gx:
Was this from recently or has this been going on for a long time (Damn, sound like a doctor!).

If its recent, I'd say to let it be for a day or two. I notice it goes away. I dont have root and my friends are Forced Doze and GSAM battery app. I'd still believe something related to syncing or backup, which for me goes away after a nasty day or two.

If you've been suffering for some time trying clearing the cache in recovery mode.
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
Lol thanks for the reply. I recently flashed Chroma after having Pure Nexus for a few months. So maybe it was because of that?

In either case, I ended up freezing both the Play Store and Google Play Services and my idle drain is better I suppose.

On battery for 10.5 hrs, SOT is 2hrs. Battery is at 50%. Deep sleep for 7h 10 mins. Phone has been awake for 1h 30 mins or so. At this point, I'm not sure if I can do anything else to make it better.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
