[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limn43:
I used to be able to get into doze when I first got the phone but after the 2nd day or so my battery life starts dropping by around 20% each night. Been following the threads and my phone does not have bluetooth on and I do not have Facebook or the tinder app as well but my phone seems to be waking up constantly even on standby. All I have are messaging apps like whatsapp and a few other apps like instagram and apps for banks. Perhaps it'll be better if we can consolidate an app list which we have and pinpoint the culprit app which stops doze from working.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
I think for me the issue definitely stems from WiFi. Two nights ago I left my phone with WiFi disabled and saw 2% drop overnight.

Last night (as another test), I left the phone at 48% with WiFi turned on, but with my home networks "forgotten." At 5AM this morning, the battery was at 47% and there was a nice horizontal battery graph.

So if it isn't a particular app keeping my phone awake, what is it about my WiFi network?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
Someone suggested selecting either 2.4 ghz or 5ghz in advanced WiFi. This stops it flitting between the two. The first night I did that, my phone dozed. However it hasn't since although battery loss is thankfully very small.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
Interesting. In my case, my phone only has the passphrase for my 5GHz network saved. So it connects to that network only.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
I have WiFi on all the time,the only setting I have changed in advanced is changing it to always off when phone goes to sleep,and my Doze works great.Early on lots were saying chrome was eating battery and I never use it,I also have disable a lot of the google apps I don't use like books,sheets etc
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
Hey all, just another quick update:

I'm currently in contact with advanced support at Google via email, and they recommended altering some wifi settings to get to the bottom of my Doze issue (just like some members on this thread). Below is the most recent email I received. Btw I've been sending them Bug Reports as well:

Hi Steve,

I'm Hubert, another Advanced Android Hardware Support Specialist. I'll be helping you while Andrew is out of the office.

Thanks for sending us your bug reports as well as your feedback. It can only help. There are many things in the environment that can influence power draw. Knowing your environment can help us figure out what's causing the issue, and how we can fix it.

I'd like you to confirm a couple of phone configurations by going to Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu icon (3 dots in the upper right) > Advanced for me. Can you set your 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' set to 'Never' and Wi-Fi frequency band' to '2.4GHz', or verify those are your current settings?

Thanks,

Hubert

The Google Support Team

I am having the exact same issue as you. I lose 12-20% overnight. Not sure what's going on. I dont like the fact they want you to disable wifi on sleep. It should work out of the box!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
On Doze ,it does not have to be flat to work,had it my jacket upright for long periods today and Doze worked fine.

The advanced WiFi setting is well known and should be used in phones with or without Doze as other wise it prevents device from going to sleep fully
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
Your Wifi appears off in that screenshot, and I have had that experience as well when setting the phone off-charger overnight. Does that horizontal battery bar persist when Wifi is on and connected?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralist:
Definitely curious to hear how you do overnight taking these settings into consideration.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
Yes Doze works just as good with WiFi switched on( no WiFi at work that's why it's off) but setting are to go off when phone sleeps ,check post #127 WiFi was on when Doze lost not even 1% over 3 hrs.,also check out all my tests in the battery life thread.WiFi on and Doze working fine
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ageesm:
The wlanwake & wlanrx_wake wakelocks have plagued my Android devices for YEARS, all the way back to my HTC EVO 4G! I have never been able to fully remedy it, only mitigate its effects. I also haven't ever been able to determine if it's Android's fault or my WiFi network's.

People had suggested any network with Windows devices on it is bound to be more 'talkative' and constantly sending out various pieces of information. Couldn't confirm or deny that properly. I've messed with tons of settings for my home WiFi network (setting Static IPs, 2.4 GHz only, etc) and on device (Disable Scanning, WiFi stays on Never) and could never fix it. So it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that this behavior also messes with Doze.

I lost hope long ago...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorua:
It is most definitely your WiFi doing this. If you can, I'd suggest getting a different router off amazon. My uni WiFi was doing this so I got myself a cheap router, plugged it into ethernet and used it as an access point. Phone finally dozes now, and I lose about 1-2% overnight, if that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
Changing my wifi setting to disable on sleep (as directed by Google Support) allowed Doze to work fine last night. I lost 1% over about 7 hours.

So there's more confirmation that Wifi is the problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralist:
Great to hear you were finally able to get the phone to doze. I'm going to try that WiFi setting tonight and see if I can get even better numbers overnight.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yunierdj:
I had the same issue. My first night the doze didn't kick in and lost like 15%. I put the never setting under WiFi advanced while sleep, turn off network notification and Bluetooth. WiFi was on and I left it at 94% before going to bed, woke up to 90% so doze finally kicked in.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
I can confirm that Wifi is messing up the battery life on this phone. I am getting better battery life on LTE, 1% overnight vs 30% on Wifi.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Just a thought... Those with drain from WiFi. Do you have upnp enabled in your WiFi routers?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
On most modern routers, I believe this is enabled by default. How might this affect battery? As a note, there is a feature of some Apple routers that Google Support notified me about that may be causing issues (excerpt from Support email below):

It's a high possibility there could be a hardware or configuration compatibility that's causing the issue. Would you happen to be connecting to an Apple router? Apple routers has a feature called DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) that doesn't play well with Google devices. Coincidentally, that feature only exists on 5GHz devices. If you happen to be trying to connect to an Apple router, I'm theorizing the router is constantly changing signals while your phone is trying to chase each signal the router is changing to, causing it to persistently scan. This persistent scanning consequently will be using up a lot of power trying to connect to the router.

Can you disable DFS if you're using an Apple router? I hear you can't disable that feature on some Apple routers. If you're still willing to do some more testing, please disable DFS and toggle those Wi-Fi settings back to see if that issue comes back. This would make my theory more solid.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Ive noticed with upnp enabled my router generates a LOT of traffic.

Im wondering if something running on the phone (app or OS) is trying to "set itself up" on the firewall through upnp. If it doesnt succeed or if it keeps trying to do it after every connect/disconnect, it could potentially suck down battery life.

My DVRs did this a lot until I disabled upnp. It actually caused slowdowns over the whole network (wifi and wired) so I setup their own port forwards, disabled upnp and the slowdowns went away.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralist:
What would disabling upnp do to my network? Sounds like it would affect the way you set up new devices? Not too sure on that.

This is all super-helpful though--

For what it's worth I was able to stop my WiFi battery drain by extensively going through my router's settings. I came to find my router was broadcasting 2 5Ghz signals and 1 2.4Ghz signal. I disabled the 5Ghz I wasn't using, kept the 2.4Ghz and I've been good to go with dozing ever since.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
Ive honestly noticed no difference on my network with and without upnp (aside from the performance issues resolved by disabling it). I do have other devices that try to set themselves up as media centers, etc (Xbox, PS3, etc) but I know they cant do it so I go to my router settings and set the stuff up manually. Instructions are always readily available on the net.

But just for debugging wifi drain issues, upnp can be turned off just to see if doze works better.

As far as multiple radios, its never happened to me personally but Ive been told by a lot of people the first step is to disable whatever band you arent using. I suppose if you ran 5GHz only and disabled 2.4 it might let the phone sleep better too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
I chucked at this. I work at a university and we are always struggling with students setting up access points in their dorms that cause interference and co-channel interference with our network.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EMcTx:
The first night I got my phone, I lost 60% in about 8 hours. According to Better Battery Stats, my phone never went in to deep sleep. I figured out that it was Gsam battery app that was keeping my phone awake. After I uninstalled it, my phone goes into Doze. I have Gsam installed on my Nexus 7 with Marshmallow, and I'm not having that problem. I hope an update with Gsam app will resolve the issue, I always like to see battery drainage since screen is off. I find that app makes it easy to do so.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralist:
That was my first impulse but unfortunately my wife's phone, along with other devices around the house, can only use a 2.4 signal. Only getting about 2-4% drain overnight with that setup so I'm good with that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
I have been following this thread as I too am experiencing the same battery issues. I would leave my phone on a table far from my bed and wake up to either a dead phone, or one that lost 30%-40% of its battery. I'm going to try setting the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option to "Never" as well as selecting the "2.4GHz" band option. Hopefully I will see some improvement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yunierdj:
I'm still testing this myself too. I do recommend turning network notification off
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
So my phone was at 100% and I left it alone on a table for 2 hours. Dropped down to 92%. I check the battery graph and there's no horizontal part that signifies that Doze has kicked in. It shows that my phone is Awake for the entire two hours.

I don't know what to do now. :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
Made some progress:

Spoke to Google CS and they helped a wee bit, but it's still ongoing. But basically, they had my update all my apps, turn off Daydream, and clear the cache and then test the phone.

Now I was getting some notifications during my 1 hour idle-test, so after the hour I checked and sure enough the phone did not go into Doze mode.

Then (as suggested by the Google rep) I put my phone in airplane mode and then let it sit idle for another hour. Lo and behold, it went into Doze!

Now what this means to me is still unclear. I have no idea what to examine next, so I'm hoping Google CS can help me out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yunierdj:
Keep it coming
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
Okay. So we tested the phone in safe mode and sure enough Doze was activating after 20 minutes of being idle. That's good! The CS said that at that point it had to be a third-party app. Luckily I don't have too many yet, so I uninstalled the biggest app I have - HearthStone: Heroes of WarCraft.

After deleting it I again let my phone idle and what do you know, Doze activated!

Now, I'm not done testing it all the way, but for right now I can at least say that my phone doesn't seem defective in terms of hardware. When the phone goes into Doze -mode, you expect the battery graph to be horizontal or near-horizontal. My graph looks fairly horizontal, but I only let it idle for about 30 minutes. I'm going to try it longer and see what happens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
Before reading this thread, I tried leaving my phone face down when I went to sleep. This allowed doze to drain only 3% battery overnight. With the exact same settings on the phone and laying face up, the phone never dozed. That's just what I've experienced so far.

Last night I tried to leave the phone face up on the night stand (I thought leaving it on my bed caused it to trigger some sensors due to my motions). No doze. I'll try to leave my phone face down tonight on the bed and see if it dozes.

My WiFi settings have always been on during sleep
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
Hm... that's really interesting actually. I'll have to try that soon, once I'm done with my other testing, haha. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
Yes, I only tried this because of a quick comment by MKBHD where he mentioned his 5x dozed for a week. He followed by mentioning "face up or face down" after his comment. Those probably aren't his exact words, but it prompted me to try it.

I'm guessing this had something to do with the proximity sensors going off if not placed face down. I might be wrong there too, because I had a fubar proximity sensor from a screen protector covering it all the time. Regardless, I'll try and report back tomorrow.

I love dolphin

I've been using dolphin for almost a year ,i never worry about my phone battery

:)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
I have disabled any Google apps I don't use like book,play games etc. I don't use chrome browser I use dolphin just personnel choice .As a result I don't have any issues with Google play services showing up high on battery stats.

I have OK Google always listening, on tap set on and location high accuracy.

I have ambient display on and adaptive display on set about 50%

In WiFi advanced I have keep WiFi on during sleep set to never ( I don't need push notifications if I'm not using my phone and texts etc still come through)

I have account syncs on ,but most like Facebook ,G+,twitter etc are set to sync either every 3 or 4 hours or on opening ,again I don't need notification live especially when I'm not using my phone .

I am getting 6 hrs + SOT regular without trying to conserve things or limit use ,and Doze will drop only 1% over 7/8 hrs over night
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
I realise this is hardly a thorough test as it was only early morning, but a friend of mine, a Nexus 6 owner, was asking about my battery earlier, so I took a screenshot. This is unplugging the phone at 6am, bluetoothing music to my car for an hour, listening to music on the headphones for half an hour on the park and ride, then sitting motionless on my desk from 8am.

Doze seems fine to me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
I'm an Android noob, can you tell me how to achieve this? I'm tired of getting notifications for every single email I get and for every little Facebook post. Do you just turn off the peeking thing completely? I don't need this information constantly pushed to me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
Go into each app and set the sync or notification status
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
I don't get it, I thought you don't do anything and Doze will be automatically activated? If I go to Battery > Battery Optimization, it says "Not optimized" by default. Switching to All Apps shows for each app "Optimizing battery use".
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] combat goofwing:
Doze will do that but if an app is set to get push notifications on a regular basis,then they will still get them with Doze and ,while it sleeps its not a deep sleep required to see flat lines ,that's my understanding of it any way
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
So I left the screen face down last night during sleep. Fantastic doze. Huge flat line across the battery stats during my 7 hours of sleep.

This us with WiFi on and connected to a network, WiFi on during sleep always, no root, bootloader locked, no apps disabled, using chrome, Google play services cache not cleared, Bluetooth off. I do not have a screen protector.

Again, not a definitive test.

I'll be leaving my phone in the same position for the next couple of hours while I step out of the house. I'll leave it face up and see if it will doze.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveg545:
In my experience so far, the "Keep Wifi on during Sleep" setting is the crux of this issue.

Turning it to "Always" means battery percentage drops of about 1-2% per hour on standby (effectively no Doze).

Turning the setting to "Never" allows Doze to work properly (1-2% drop overnight).

Google technical support has mentioned a setting on some routers known as DFS that allows the router to automatically switch frequency channels that may be messing with the N6P's ability to Doze properly.

This is very common on Apple Routers (I was told), but some routers (my D-Link included) have a setting called "Auto Channel Scan," which may also cause problems.

I have yet to test disabling this on the router and leaving the phone overnight with "Keep Wifi on during Sleep" set to "Always," which is the default out of the box.

I will update everyone when I have a result.

I was corrected after that comment. I was confused by the way it was worded.

Effectively got doze to work by simply doing nothing and leaving the phone face up.

In other words, leaving phone face up or down makes no difference. However, I also got doze to work with WiFi to automatic scan for both frequencies and keep WiFi on during sleep always.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ahhh:
Did you find that your battery life was more or less the same with the "keep Wi-Fi on" option on "always"? I mean, if Doze worked for you for both "Always" and "Never", what was the difference in battery life between the two? Also, good to know that face up/down doesn't matter! :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rice923:
I've never used "never.". In fact, I just haven't touched anything inside the advanced WiFi settings menu
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbster:
This is not my experience. I have the Wifi set to stay on and I only loose 1-2% in 8 hours. Can't do much better than that. I think it all comes down to the apps you have and use.

This is the only infuriating thing about Android, the inconsistencies. I've got location (battery saving) on, Bluetooth on and connected to my watch, wifi on (Always policy), and lose 1-2% while sleeping for 7-8 hrs at an average rate of 0.2%/hr. Just odd that for others Doze won't even kick in.

My phone is not going into deep sleep worth a damn. It almost seems like it is Bluetooth related (I leave BT on 24/7 - haven't had a problem in previous devices). Once I shut off BT, it seems to be sleeping, but I need to test it more. The phone isn't connected to anything. I just leave BT idling for when I get into my car basically... don't like having to turn it on/off, just like WiFi. Battery stats are showing that Android System is what is staying awake though, and not BT. Anyone else having a problem like this?
