6.0 Marshmallow: How's your battery life after the update?

[anon(5002059)]

All good here so far. Didn't use phone much today. Still @ 80% from 6:30am.

I have tried rebooting multiple times to see if the update settles itself down. I hate doing factory resets so much. I am still having some heat issues not as hot as before but still warm. I will see what tomorrow deals me before I make the dreaded decision.

I noticed a weird bug.
when the battery reaches 59%, it says 59% in the status bar but it says 58% in the command center.
Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone seeing heavy battery drain from Whatsapp?

Seems noticeably better to me, but haven't really put it through its paces yet. Will have a better idea after my next road trip.

Anyone seeing heavy battery drain from Whatsapp?

Whatsapp always hits my battery pretty hard when I'm actively using it. I tend to use it a lot. I've had MM since February 26th and have not noticed any issues.

Definitely a lot worse after the update. Email app keep awake at 5 hours 30 minutes, used 1105 mAh - been off of charger for 14 hours. I do get 200+ emails a day, but was typically around the 75-80% range at worst after a typical day.

Also noticed that it burns through battery like crazy when using it in general, not just standby. CNN app for 5-7 minutes pulls 5-7% of my battery.

I ran the software repair assistant on my wife's phone tonight to see if it helps with the terrible awake time and battery drain from the mobile radio. I'll give it a few days to settle in and report back.

About the same, maybe a little better.

wifi has become one of the biggest battery eaters for me.
Took the phone off the charger at 8 and now, wifi has used 3% of it already.
Is that normal?

Yeah I'm seeing battery drain issues as well. Haven't figured out what it is yet

 

[djousma]

I had huge wifi drains, even when wifi was turned off. cpu time would stay the same, but the battery mah use would continue to go up. I finally did a FDR, and it no longer shows up on the list. But what a PITA!

About the same no real difference but it was not bad before the update one thing I do notice it seems to wireless charge Quicker then before.

Not good approx 13 hrs and WiFi still always on even though I have it selected off!

I really hardly notice a difference with anything at all on the phone since the update except for the progressive lag that I was getting is improved. Battery seems about the same. If I didn't know I did the update I'd hardly know anything was different on the phone.

My battery life has taken a big hit after updating to Marshmallow, Looks like Bluetooth typically eats up about 20% of my battery or more. Even though I use BT quite a bit to stream music in the car, it definitely didn't use that much battery before the update. I'll try disabling BT for now to see how much it helps.But, I'm afraid I'll have to go the FDR route. Had similar battery drain problems when I updated my 2nd gen Moto X... tried several options, but the FDR was the only thing that fixed it as well.

After switching back to my Turbo 2 for a temporary change of pace from my primary daily driver (Nexus 6p), it was my first time using it on marshmallow. Battery life was disappointing to say the least: 2 hours SOT over 14 hours total. It ran pretty hot as well. This is with normal usage that's netted me 5+ hours SOT before the update. I'm switching back to the 6p after just one day, but next time I decide to switch it up I'll perform a factory reset beforehand and see if that fixes things.

Battery use is WAYYY worse. Like others here, my Wifi and cell signal are on CONSTANTLY. I'm getting fed up with this phone.

 

[mgullick]

I haven't noticed a problem with the battery - until today. All of a sudden battery life has gone into the toilet. Like others here I'm seeing a large hit from WiFi and Bluetooth. It's weird that I haven't noticed it before today. I don't know what's changed (other than the MM update of course) but its definitely bad.

The Marshmellow update is definitely causing many phones to turn on wireless transmitters, and leaving them on. For me it's cell signal and WiFi. If I used Bluetooth I would not be surprised if that was on for me too. What's odd is that there does not appear to be any particular app that's using any of these wireless links. I don't see unusual data usage. I just see the antennas turned on, transmitting who knows what to who knows where.

Turn ON airplane mode and monitor the phone for an hour or so; you should see battery usage go back to normal. Airplane mode shuts down all wireless... Bluetooth, NFC, WiFi, Cell Signal, etc. Turn airplane mode OFF and the antennas turn back on. WHY??
