Battery life :? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, For those who got nexus 6 somehow or who can just guess:
How much is battery going to be ?
Also when they say 8 hours of usage from 15mins charge, 8 hours of video? Or browsing? Or calling ? Or.... 8 hours of what usage ? How long does it take for it to fully charge? And how many percent does the battery get charged after 15mins?
This is just the most awesome thing its like its built for me , only problem is battery life ! (my nexus 4 batterylife is not good, but not unbelievable !) i always carry my nexus 4 charger with myself !(in my pocket)
+ , i hope my father will have some money till than :| or i should give up my espresso machine

Its got simmilar specs as the note 4, so you can expect simmilar performance.
Also, dont expect it to arrive anytime soon around the world.

phoneareana tweeted it lags behind the note , but link is broken.

Embargo+Not final software which is why they pulled the link.
Also, the title is very misleading, the difference in life is an hour apart between devices.

Even if it isn't the final software, it's still very surprising to me. I thought for sure it would beat the note out.

They've only said how many hours in how many minutes of charge. But if I had to guess, it's probably 25% in 15 minutes. And the 8 hours is most likely standby time.

One hour isn't bad, especially if the software is still being tweaked. Were you able to see the link at some point, or how do you know there is an hour difference between the devices?
Just found the link, even better, only about 50 minutes separate the two.

Awesome ! Thanks guys!
Just one last Question : do you think that quick charge can damage the battery(lifespan) ?

Thats still great!! Awesome ! Even if that isnt the final result(tweak ect) its great!
My nexus 4 battery is so small!!! I always keep the charger in my pocket! + a solar panel connected to a power bank(900mah) in trips

Yes, that's why i'm putting custom kernel on mine, and lower the current. Both batteries are amazing, and last long enough, only 50 mins difference, but Nexus 6 display is also bigger, so there is that.

As long as the battery lasts until the next nexus comes out. I'm OK. Surely this has been tested enough to get a year out of the battery. Time will tell. But it does tapper off after it has so much charge. I'm putting a little faith in battery technology. And maybe I could use custom kernel and then flash stock when I NEED a quick charge

Ahh, the good ol' battery life questions. Most stupid/ridiculous/irrelevant question anyone can ask because it is very much subjective. 4 hours SOT could only mean 2 for someone else, and maybe closer to 6 for others.
There are so many things that can influence how good or bad battery life is for each and every individual - some things can make a significant difference. Everything from the apps you use, those that are signal in the background, screen brightness, cell signal quality, are you using wifi, is your phone in airplane mode, do you play games and if so do they also require an internet connection.
Battery life questions and more than that, battery stats pictures drive me absolutely insane. Those that post them are clearly highlighting their lack of knowledge and general stupidity.

I saw tests like this on gsmarena, all tests are at same setting so i can get idea of how long they last!

Even if they open it, they likely break some parts or scratch it horribly! And make it greasy!

I sure hope it doesn't hurt the battery. I'm not an expert in that department. This is the bad part about a newer technology. Maybe that's why apple is always 3 years behind. Lol

The charging current itself shouldn't really impact the wear on the battery. The only increased wear would be due to the increased heat generated by faster charging.
That said, I think it's a good trade-off. My Nexus 5 charges to full in about 1h20m, and I'm able to deal with the lackluster battery life as a result.

You are wrong. They both affect battery life. There are current limits, and recommendations because of this.

Who here actually works for a battery company? We have no idea what they have done to maybe make this efficient.

Sure we do, they use 2A charge rate, instead of ~1.5/1.2

How often do you charge your nexus per day?

Like the title said. How often do you charge your Nexus 4 each day. Pleas take into consideration that you let your N4 run at least under 30% before charging. If you can go on without recharging your battery for more than one day please post the numbers of days.
I charge once a day. I get 12-16 hours of battery life from what I consider an average day attached are screenshots from yesterdays battery life

3 times, but I just got it 2 days ago. It might be that new phone usage spike. Still, I have serious doubts that it will go to less than 2 charges per day

Yep, same. I've even had 40 hours out of it once, but only because I was in meetings for 2 days and the screen was off for 8 hours at a time. that was fully charged to completely dead.
Really happy with the battery life so far, I was being conservative on my last phone with battery however now I've got this I don't really think about it so much.
Charge when I go to bed.

I got my Nexus on Tuesday night and I'm only just charging it for the first time now.
I'm only a light user though.
Once - Over night
Last's all day wifi on 8hrs - BT 1hr - texting & a few calls
Depends. When I'm at home I charge once per day, but when in at work it just sits on my desk charging. I normally use the phone more at work then I do at home, so it's hard for me to tell if I could really get through a whole day work my normal usage. I have done about 12-14 hours or so with a couple hours of screen time and still had 15% left. To me, the battery has been about 25 percent better than the gnex.

I still love my Nexus 4 and it performs well still but the battery life is now beyond dire, charging it 3 times a day.
Is it worth paying a firm to replace the battery? My thoughts are that I can just put that money towards an inevitable replacement in the near future.

I just replaced the battery in my N4. It was simple, requiring only a small torx driver and a small Phillips, plus a pry tool. The battery was cheap on Amazon and says it is an LG battery.
The old battery would no longer charge at all.

I still get 4h of SoT, and 10-12 hours battery time - so I am still quite happy with my N4. Unfortunately the camera really sucks (even more now) so I will replace the beloved N4 soon.

Yeah, I am having intermittent camera issues, a lot of photos come out black even in good light.
It's another excuse to upgrade I guess, has been a great phone though.
I think I should try the battery swap thing, mine just cannot get more than an hour and a half of SOT no matter what combination of ROM, Kernel and Android version I try, and using it during my daily commute means I arrive at my workplace at already 60% even if I'm on extremely low screen brightness. Greenify doesn't help either because it's the actual screen on what kills it, as long as the screen is off the battery drain is negligible.
Worst part is that every single battery out there is a fake, just with a very high-quality copied sticker on it. AFAIK the only way to get a new original battery is through LG and for a price you'd be better just getting a new Moto E 3rd gen for a little bit more and call it a day.

[Q] Battery drainage

this battery drainage seems to be a big problem with HTC one, is it really as bad as people/users are saying?
if the drain is that bad on the standby should i withhold getting HTC one? im out of the house for more than 14 hrs per day and a juiced up phone is what i need!
GS4 or ONE?
please advise

Actually the battery isn't a problem at all with the One! It is way above average for todays smartphones (not counting in the Note II)
You will generally get 6h of screen time with "xda-user" (most likely higher usage then the average consumer) which is amazing.
I leave the house at 7am and come home at around 10pm, that is 15 hours and the One has been holding up great!
I can't see the GS4 being any better. AMOLED + bigger screen = more power consumption (you need higher brightness etc.).. and in my eyes the One is the better phone over all too... so my advice is to get a One and you will be really really happy!
You may still want to invest 40$ in a portable external battery so you can charge your phone on the go .. just in case

Wait for GS4 Exynos OCTA performance tests to decide.
Maybe the OCTA will be more power-friendly.
Nevertheless, AMOLED 5'' screen of the GS4 seems to be better than the HTC One's . Even the brightness is not an issue anymore cause the new AMOLED is seen better on sunlight than the SLCD3! It suprised me cause the S3 was bad on sunlight. Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_htc_one-review-913p3.php

I still have my 2011 HTC Phone here with 1500mAh battery and I get like 0 to 1% battery drain overnight.
Although I know someone there who get results like this with HTC One so the device is not an issue. Just trying to say that SmokyM79 might have wakelock issues there.

The One gets better battery life than the GS4. Rogue apps holding wakelocks won't help either way.
On the related subject of monitoring battery consumption, I have used battery monitor widget since I owned my first Android phone , a Desire HD, however it doesn't measure current correctly on my One.
Does anyone have a recomendation for an app that currently supports the HTC One ?

Anyone know how strong of a charger this phone will accept and use efficiently and safely without causing a problem? I haven't seen this asked but the battery life is terrible on this phone.

Doesn't matter if it's 'too strong' as it will only pull the current it needs. Too small is what you need to worry about.

You must be doing something wrong then or setup something that is eating away at it. I have had my one off the charger now for almost 11 hours and I'm at 92%. Obviously I haven't used my phone hardly at all today thus far, but even with moderate usage I have been very pleased. I have been losing 1% about every 45 min today. That's solid

TF701 has shorter runtime than TF700?

I bought the device because my TF700 deteriorated to a short runtime. I tested the TF701 and it only lasted 7 hours with dock while being moderately used. The device would be useless for me on my usual 9 hour transatlantic flights. I think for now I will keep both for 14 hour South America flights but that will only be an emergency solution.

It could be the apps you use. Some apps are battery hogs. So it depends and with that touch cpu frequency scaling thing maxing out, I imagine the power drains even more. Also you can have battery hogging apps running in the background ya? Google Services and syncing, Screen Brightness etc. POS(Point of sale) ASUS touch screen device what can you do? Sell it? :silly:
I have had the opposite experience. My TF701 lasts somewhat longer than my TF700. I have basically the same setup and apps on both. I thought I remember others saying it was the same for them.

And that tells you - what?
How often is it going to be essential to watch 13 hours of video?
Or 7?
Or 5?
Battery life is going to depend greatly on how you set up and use the tablet.
Fact is, with the dock battery there is hardly anything out there that gives you BETTER battery life in terms of total hours of use without recharging. No matter how you use it.
I get better battery life on the TF701 than I do on my TF700......

I'm not trying to break any records, nor do I have any big battery saving techniques in use (other than the dark theme). This is normal usage in my opinion. The dash charging is great though.. definitely a huge help with this phone.
My mobile signal is usually anywhere between 1 to 4 bars indoors. I may remove one of the sim cards as I have no real reason to use it - I just wanted to see how it worked in all honesty.

Not a problem. I think that while the capacity could have been bigger (also reducing the camera bump), the dash charge feature helps bring some juice to the phone quite quickly. I'm disappointed though that you can only use OnePlus hardware for it (so far).
Doing well so far...

Just shy of 5hrs SoT. Mixture of gaming, FB stalking, whatsapp, WiFi and cellular, couple of calls and sms, Bluetooth on all day paired with car for about an hour. Not disappointed with that in the slightest.

Agree with you on lower battery capacity and camera bump. But I think these shortcomings can be lived with.
Coming to the major disappointment its not just the oneplus hardware you will have to depend on for dash charging, we need the oneplus software too. They haven't released the libraries and source code for this. So custom roms will be missing this main feature.
Mt first day was disappointing with battery but now it's giving me approximately 1-2 days with 3+ hours SOT and regular usage
Stellar battery life when on a good connection.
