Nexus 6p battery

Re: nexus 6p battery

Not sure what happened to my phone in the last 36 hours but my battery yesterday was abysmal, I was down to under 30% left with VERY little SOT, had a couple phone calls yesterday. I charged it fully before going to bed and it's down to 60% after NO USE. It's as if Doze broke...

I'd be interested to see the Awake time (press on the graph to get more information). It would seem like a misbehaving app. Did you install any new apps recently?

Unfortunately, I rebooted the phone so that display wouldn't be accurate. However, after a reboot of the phone Doze seems to be working again...

The first few days my battery life was pretty amazing but now its dying kind of fast. I had a screenshot of my SOT for the first few days but I accidentally deleted it. I was sitting at around 5 and half hours of SOT

same boat. mine after a factory reset. i reset it because i couldn't post pics to facebook. now that works but battery life is worse. doze didnt work for me last night - lost like 8% over 9 hours whereas with doze working that was like 2-3%

I honestly have never found the battery life on the 6P to be great just good at best, nothing more nothing less. Of course that differs on your personal usage but I have found it just to be average.

I think this phone's battery life is outstanding. Only been off the charger about 8.5 hours, but most all that time the screen was on. Nothing stressful but 7 hrs sot is beyond good.

why does the battery meter not add up to 100?

the percentage of battery used by each of the apps it shows does not add up to the amount that has been drained. is this a 6P issue, Marshmallow issue, or an Android problem?

My BlackBerry Z30 was always very accruate as to how much power has been used. this is disappointing as a new Android user

I'm going to add my 2 cents to what others have said. The battery life on this phone is insane. It even blows an iPhone 6plus s out of the water.

After my "scare" yesterday, I rebooted my phone and Doze has been working great since. Never needed a charge and still had 30% left this AM.

Glad you are getting that..I however get to about 15% or less by around 9PM with about 3 hours of SOT. If I don't charge in the afternoon/evening I usually charge overnight and plug out at around 5 AM. If I'm going out and taking a lot of pictures I need to charge for about 15-20 minutes in the eveining.. It used to be a lot better, for the first week or so I managed to get about 25% more SOT with similar usage patterns (same emails, same twitter, similar app usage etc).

Happy with the battery in my first full day of usage. Only thing that stands out is the phone radio. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

How do you keep good battery life lol I only text from 7-3 and load 37%

Is it bad for the battery to leave the 6p charging using quick charge overnight?

This is the first phone where I am able to put it on charge for an hour at night to get it to 100%. Leave it off charge over night and top it back to 100% before I head to work.

It feels like it's never on charge

No. The 6p charger is designed to regulate power output depending on the state of the battery.

From what I've seen, most issues with the battery are caused by misbehaving apps. For example, there have been a few apps that don't allow the phone to "sleep" (cause constant wakelocks). In fact, GSAM has seemed to be one of the apps with issues.

The best way to find out is by looking at the apps in the battery section under settings?

It's been 36 hrs since I had my 6P plugged into a charger. You can clearly see where Doze kicked in. Screen on time is currently at 2hr 15m.

Unfortunately, no. Typically you'll need to install a third party app; I know some people have been using Wakelock Detector. In my case, I did the trial and error method after doing a factory reset. The two apps that caused issues for me were GSAM (which is what I've previously used to find issues) and GasBuddy -- though the newest update to GasBuddy allegedly fixed the issue (it is better for me but not yet convinced it is completely fixed).
