Battery Life? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are you all getting? Mine has been pretty bad in my opinion. I have only gotten like 3hrs screen on time before I needed to plug in. I got the phone yesterday so hopefully it gets better.

sony liveview for galaxy note 1?

guys i am planning to buy sony liveview, is it working in our note 1 (n7000)? i there anyone using it?
Is it battery eater for our note?
I've got one and I've used it on my Note 1. The battery drain on the phone is not a problem it's the battery on the LiveView that's the problem. It only lasts about 4 hours.
I'm trying to get a cheap Sony Smartwatch.
If you have any problems then feel free to contact me.

Really? It only lasts 4 hours? Even if it is new? Why is it in the specs it says that it lasts up to 4 days?

It also loses connection quite frequently too.
It honestly does last for only 4 hours. Unless I've got a duff one with a weak battery.

So it is not really helpful? Thanks for the info. I decided not to buy since i knew that it also loses the time and date if not connected in device

It does and it also loses connection when the phone and LiveView are together.
If for example I wanted to go to the toilet and that is leave both Note and LiveView on a table in another room or take them both with you. Neither are ideal.
I'm looking at getting a Sony Smartwatch I think the time remains if it disconnects.

Pretty good, but not THAT good. Not much running in the background?

Mine is hit or miss, doing the same things with the phone at the same places every day, some days it is decent and I will have 40-50% left when I get home, other days (like today) it was almost totally dead. That's with sync and wifi on, but location turned off. Its decent, but far from great IMO.
The battery life is WAY better than my wife's Nexus 5, but it is garbage compared to my international Note 2 I was using previously. I'd have 70-80% left when I got got home doing the same stuff as I am with the S5, plus I would leave Bluetooth, wifi, sync, location, and GPS on all the time.

at the end of the day by bed time i have 30% or so left. my old htc one x would be in the teens %. it doesn't help that i leave bluetooth and wifi on and searches all day since i'm too lazy to turn BT on only when i get into my car and i'm too stupid to learn how to use NFC tags.

I use everything on. On my S4 I didn't much, because my battery would die sooner buy with this battery so far I'm getting better life with more things left turned on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium HD app
Holding up much better than my S4 which I returned as I could barely get it to go 3/4 of a day without dying with normal usage. Now I end the day with at least 30% left. Also outperforming my iPhone 5S which would be close to dead by the end of the day. Very impressed!
great battery
I had an S3 before. When left alone at night, I can see phone 'Awake' numerous times. As viewed from Battery settings.
Except Gmail, I had sync disabled on every app. I also had most of the apps greenified. Still phone wakes up numerous times at night when not in use.
With S5, I have installed all the apps I had on S3. I have configured only few of them. None of them are greenified now. Also, I have left more apps to sync in background. Previous night, in the 9 hrs I left it alone, it woke only 2 times. Thats really good. In that 9 idle hours, battery dropped only 4%.
Battery is similar to the m8 (very good)... I'm thinking I'm going to have to return the htc

I'm really not getting very good battery life at all. I am shocked when I hear of others getting 5+ hours of screen on time. I'm getting nowhere near that and unfortunately for me I'm on my phone all day for work (calls, emails, etc.) because I work from home. This is also my 2nd SGS5. The first was having major screen issues and the capacitive buttons stopped lighting up for some reason.

Have you disabled all of the built in apps you aren't using? Try to cycle your battery. Go on your Google account and disable sync on thin you don't need. Or call ATT and ask for a replacement under warranty maybe your battery is bad. They are very good when it comes to warranty exchanges. Best of luck.

I've tried cycling, I have more than half of the sync items turned off and I'm still having this issue But thank you for the suggestions. I am going to head to the store tomorrow and see about a replacement. I just can't guarantee it will be another S5 at this point. LOL

Att wouldn't even let me return the phone without restocking fee. Which was a joke.

Today's battery life.

Fantastic battery life so far. Since unplugging it from the charger Wednesday morning, my battery is at 86% this morning! I do have the power saving mode on (not the ultra power saving mode, the regular one), and don't use it a whole lot during the day (not for hours on end at least, just a few minutes here and there)
Better battery life that I was getting on my S4.
I average about 5-6 hours screen time every day no matter if on WiFi or data.... I bet I could crack 7 if I was on Wi-Fi the whole time but yeah, coming from the nexus 5, this thing kicks the crap out of it in battery department

My first battery cycle I got 7 hours screen on time and the last two I haven't gotten more than 5 hour if that. I disabled about as much bloat I could. Can some one explain what it means to cycle your battery
I think the battery life has been really good so far...

Battery getting worse.

I feel like my battery keeps getting worse and worse. Used to last me a day and a half and now only about a day.

Hey mate, sorry to hear you are getting worse battery life. Are you using anything from your normal? Check out my guide and see if anything helps. Below are my stats currently. I can only see you still have your alarm on, this can cause a slight lose.
Mine hasn't ever lasted as long as your day and a half, maybe it is just leveling out? A few days ago I recalibrated my battery, maybe that would help?

Try shutting it off ( hold the off button on right side) the turning it back on . Reboot, I had an unexplained battery issue and this fixed it, I can get 3-4 days now.
Any update @gainstatom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
My battery is either good or bad. Right now it's fine and going good. But sometimes I think something makes my battery worse. I will keep updating with screenshot. I think 8% for only minute on screen time is not that good.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah that's great! You can install better battery stats here on xda to see if you are getting any wake locks etc. Greenify plus xposed will do this also, but bbs has more info

I had a battery problem similar to yours not long ago. One of the things that was running it down was in Settings> Wi-Fi> Always allow scanning. The phone would scan for Wi-Fi signal even when Wi-Fi was turned off. Unchecking that box helped a lot.
I also used a battery calibration app that clears the battery stats and that has pretty well fixed the problem.

Battery life.

Just wanted other people's battery life so far. Here is my first full day of use. Not too shabby. Moderate usage.

That means nothing without knowing the screen on time...
2hr 40min
That is horrible then. Lol you should get 3+ hours for sure, unless gaming the whole time.
Today I'm at 1:03 screen time and all at 74%. Was in airplane mode for part of it though.
Not gaming, but watching a lot of videos.
And so far today I'm at 1:05 hr and at 65%

So far today I'm not doing half bad.
I don't have any issues with battery life... I can make it through a day pretty easily actually.

The phone was on for less than 2 hours with 47 min of screen on time and that's bad? Idk man, depends on what you were doing while the screen was on. But I normally get 3-4 hours SOT and def make it though the whole day. But to each their own if your iPhone is calling you. You should check your other settings and such if you like the s6 though.

Sharp battery drops. Problem with device, rom or battery?

I regularly have scenarios like this.
- phone is at 27% battery
- few minutes later it beeps and shows 14%
- 30 seconds later - 5%
- few more seconds and it shuts down.
I don't run anything special and through the day it lowers steady (although 100 to 27 in 12 hours is not that great).
I run official 5.0.1 rom and never unlocked bootloader.
So is it a problem with a phone, the battery or just OS that sucks?
Anyone else having the issue?

Most likely it's the battery. Have you looked to see what is using the battery in settings?

Nothing unusual running. I think Android OS was main battery user, may be with hour and half of screen time.
In this specific instance I was running Toyota app while driving.
But similar things happened before without those factors. And mostly it worked ok in the car as well.

How many hours total on battery do you think?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I took it off charger at 7am and drops started around 6pm. It was going down evenly during this time.

Sorry I forgot that was in your OP. Did you look at the battery to see if it was hot or bulging even slightly? Personally for the $15 it takes to get a new battery, I would. Worst case scenario is you end up with a spare. I don't know how old your device (and this your battery) is, but it's not uncommon after 9+ months for them to start dying.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, it probably makes sense to get new battery. I got the phone last November or December but problem started early summer. Seems pretty short time for battery to go bad.
Thank you

It's not unheard of by any stretch. Heat will kill them fast as well. Does the phone ever get hot?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I haven't noticed it being hotter than other phones I used. Yet I carry it in external pouch so would not always feel it.
It definitely wasn't hot when battery was dropping.
More over, last time I turned it off for 3 hours at 14% and when turned it on, drop just continued and it was 5% in 30 seconds.

I got not only a new battery but a new phone and have been experiencing a similar problem. Seriously might just jump ship to the N5. Any suggestions on what else to try? I really don't want to shell out $20 for yet another battery if it's not guaranteed to fix anything. I'm running PopRocks v14 with the stock kernel. Any suggestions?
I had the exact same issue. It was from letting the battery die too often. A new battery fixed the issue 100%
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That's true. Running it down to 1% all the time definitely shortens the life. I'll try to find the article I read that interviewed battery scientists.
