Battery after Sept patch - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone seen a big battery drain since the Sept patch? Mine won't even make it through the day now, it used to make it at least until 9 PM, that is the only change that I have made to my phone.

Me too. Stock unrooted mob31e

when i was on the july patch, my battery drains a lot, 3-4 hours of screen. Now with the september update, my battery is more optimized (5 hours and near 6 hours)
Do you have all of yours apps updated?

Yes I do refresh the playstore daily for app updates. Only holding off a factory reset till N drops.

Bad Battery Issues

I'm experiencing some pretty poor battery life and can't seem to figure out what to do to make it any better. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Attached are screenshots detailing a typical day for me. Running stock 4.4.4 not rooted.
Need more details from the battery screen so we can we got often it's awake and what your service signal is over that time period. Also download better battery stats.
Here's a post about your top kernel wakelock.

Not really an issue.
And without root, you can view your app wakelocks, which make solving battery issues very difficult.
If you can't root, I suggest you start by turning location services completely off. Only use it when you need it, then off again. See if that helps. It's likely an app, or combination of apps... Especially social apps, exploiting location services.
Start there. And if you can root... We can see your app wakelocks and finding the issue could be far easier. ?

If your signal is ever low while on data, not WiFi... That can drop your battery level extremely quick.
I have been experiencing similar thing.. I'm at 19% now and 9hours 17 min. I am rooted running 4.4 has been declining for quite sometime..I also have noticed I've only had 2 bars at home..? Not an extremely have user but more than average.

Here's another example of a typical day for me that I took a while back. Anything look out of the ordinary? Didn't take a kernel wakelock one that day.
As I said, you need gsam root companion and then post times held awake and times waking device. Those are the important screens to see. And after a long discharge. A short time frame screen shot won't tell the story as well.
Without those we can only guess here.
Kj, I installed that app..I'm going to go threw the day, how do I post at the end of the day?

We're hijacking this thread.
Run from 100 to 10 or 15 percent left and take the screen shots in gsam. The main screen, and app screen and in app screen click the drop down and take shots of times waking device and held awake time.
No reboots or gsam resets.
Best to post tho in the battery thread in general. Or even the one in my signature. Just specify your device if you do that.
This thread is someone else's. ?
My moto x has been doing the same thing for the last two weeks or so. I'd burn through the battery down to about 10% in 10 hours with less than an hour of screen time.
Last night I decided not to plug my phone in to the charger when i got home. I used the phone throughout the night until i went to bed. The phone was literally stuck at 1% for about 25 minutes of use right before i went to bed. I woke up this morning and the phone was still on at 1%. It did die moments later. I think the battery stats are not calibrated correctly, but I'm not really sure. I'm going to try running it down to 0% a few times and see what happens.

I just want to help you in order to get good battery life..
These are the common mistakes that I made which causes battery drain-->
location on high accuracy, full brightness, WiFi always on, sync always on, screentime out minimize to 5s in order to save battery, Data enabled & Bluetooth always on..
Above shown are examples which leads to battery drain ..I personally use greenify(non-root) to stop running apps in background.. I have seen significant change in battery life by using this type of apps
As I said, for most helpful battery tips, and help if anyone wants it.... Go here.... Posts 1 to 4 are the important ones...
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Just specify your device for help, if not an N5. ?
I generally do a factory reset every six months or so and that significantly increases battery life. Not as good as the first few months but that's too be expected with an aging device w/o a removable battery

Just wanted to update after having a similar problem and letting my phone go all the way down to zero and automatic shutdown.
I charged my phone at work today and did not pull it off the charger until around noon. After having similar stats as the OP today is a different story.
I'm at 12 hours with 41% left. 1 hour 7 minutes of screen time. For the last couple of weeks I was often down to 15% after 12 hours or less.
I've been the same..I just spent the 25 for sunshine to unlock my boot loader and flashed a new kernel..

Roms and kernels make only minor battery life differences.... If any.

LG G6 vs OP3T battery

I have 1 week old OP3t and and 2 weeks old G6 , both phones have the same battery but g6 has bigger screen and QHD but i get more SOT on g6 on my op3t i ger around 3:30 to 4 hours and on my g6 i get around 5 to 6 hours SOT ,is it something to do with the software?
Which is the better phone
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
Also sultans rom gave me incredible battery life
What rom r u using on the 3t?have u updated to latest fw?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhSKZ9Q2TAU
According to this, G6 dies first, and 3T's battery lasts much longer.
Maybe the issue is your firmware on your 3T?

Do you have the exact same apps on both phones? Are you putting any apps to sleep? If one thing is off then this post is moot.

I have exactly the same apps on both of the devices and no i didn't put any app to sleep , Do you think it is because i am on Open Beta ?

In my experience, I get better battery life and SOT on openbeta than I do on stable.

Performance Mode? Screen Resolution?

What are you guys opting to do in regards to these settings? I'm trying out the full power of the phone so I'm trying out running performance mode and the highest resolution screen settings. Not sure how battery will react - we'll see.
Any thoughts on how much impact it has running these settings vs. not?
I ran yesterday at Max screen resolution but not full brightness and battery did not do to bad about 5 1/2 hours of SOT
---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------
I mean what's the point in having a phone with great resolution if you're not going to use it?
Running my phone at max resolution and the battery lasts me all day. I usually go with optimized performance because the phone's been chewing up everything I've thrown at it and I haven't seen the need for a boost yet.

One reason that I can think of - not everything on the phone needs that amazing resolution, so why not save some battery life when the resolution is not needed?
I think Tasker may be useful here. I'm guessing it could switch modes and resolutions on an app by app basis. I'll start tinkering.

Best ROM for longer SOT?

Which nougat and oreo ROM gave you longer SOT?
I've just only recently obtained the Nexus 6 and have only had time to flash one Rom but I can honestly say without a doubt that It is the best AOSP based experience I have ever had. Everything works, the performance Is excellent, and SOT is pretty good. About 4 - 5 hours doing moderately intensive things like playing games. The Rom is AOSiP by the way. Oh I also hear that using It with the Elemental X Kernel with stock values makes It even better! Haven't tried it yet but I sure will soon enough.

Call regarding was available In 9.1
Its still working in 10
But in 10.1.. its disabled
Call recording has been disabled due to Google policies about user's privacy....
Those who has updated to EMUI 10.1, Did you noticed that battery drain has been increased?
On the previous Firmware I had 12 hours screen time before each recharging , but now my battery is 42% and only have 4 hours of screentime....
I just want to know is this a public problem or my phone has problem?
Thanks
hi..i'm from malaysia also get this update but anyone know how tu downgrade to emui 9.1 back without using hisuite? because my internet speed is so lame..

for me..its worse..battery consumption is my enemy..
To find a solution for battery draining problem, I surfed the internet and others suggest me to do ( wipe cache ) in Recovery mode and I feel it really helped ...
As I told you yesterday I had 42% battery with 4 hours screen time, exactly at that time did ( wipe cache) and right now, I have 9% of battery with 8 hours screen time... That was huge improvement
I will recharge my battery and give you the new result
However huawei has admitted to the battery problem and it may release new update for fixing it
Thanks

I don't have any battery problems with 10.1
Hi
Last two days I tried to use the phone exactly the same way I used on the previous Firmware and the result shows that the battery life ( after doing wipe cache) is almost the same and the small difference may be for the optimization of system performance... As I said on the previous Firmware I had 12 hours screen time and now I have 11 hours and 18 minutes
overall I guess wipe cache will fix your battery draining problem
