Yep, my battery life has been very poor. I'm getting a replacement for a different reason, but hoping that I can unlock and flash updated images and see if it helps at all.

yes. same here. using Chrome Beta

Same, I hoped they would have fixed the mobile active radio bug, but apparently not.

bumping this thread. seems like when i was web browsing on my commute this morning, chrome used more "energy" than my screen did

This is driving me slightly mad, because I am loving everything about the Nexus 6P but for this bug. Two days ago, Facebook was logged as using more battery than my screen. I uninstalled the app and switched to using it on Chrome. That day, Chrome used more battery than my screen. I disabled Chrome as well, and downloaded Dolphin yesterday. And now I have the same problem with Dolphin!
I think it's some form of the mobile radio active bug that destroyed my HTC One M8's battery life - the drain is noticeable mainly when I'm on mobile data, and my battery stats indicate that the apps in question are keeping my mobile radio active longer than necessary.
It frustrates me greatly because this doesn't seem to be a widespread problem - other people have been getting much better battery life without having to remove basic apps like Facebook and Chrome!! What did we do to trip it? Do we need to trade our sets in for new ones or is there something you all have done that has successfully fixed it?

Um.... this isnt unique to the Nexus 6P guys. Chrome is well known to chew battery on pretty much every phone out there. Blame google for bad coding. If its really a big problem, use Titanium to remove it and install Dolphin browser instead

I tried to fix the problem with Facebook and Chrome being battery drainers. I uninstalled FB and disabled Chrome, and switched to Dolphin. Same problem on Dolphin. Dolphin and Android OS now use more battery than my screen. I'm barely going to get 3h SOT on this charge.
There are users who are using Facebook and Chrome as per normal, and reporting SOT of over 5 hours. So there must be something up?

Disable regular chrome and install chrome dev.
Zero issues and have done it on my last three phones.

edit:
was anyone besides me using the data saver feature on Chrome? could that be draining the battery?

Yes! After poor battery life (3-4hrs) I've isolated the issue and LOVE it!

I was getting horrendous battery life on my new Nexus 7 stock and rooted / custom ROM.
I decided to wipe, install zero apps except Chrome and fire away at the battery. YouTube has streamed 3 hours worth of an HD video and I'm at 72%!!! Nice!!!!
I was using FB and FB messenger, Firefox beta and really that's about it. Needless to say I'll hold off on installing them until they've been optimized with 4.3

fwiw - i have chrome, fb and ff beta also installed - no battery issues. I dont use FF messenger though.
Its FB. Seriously. Its a horribly written website with horribly written apps. It sucks information all the time.

I'm sure my battery life would be great with no apps installed too. I'm holding off on wiping mine though, because I'm sure after I root and reinstall my stuff, the battery life will go to crap again.
On my Nexus 7 Google Services has an inordinate amount of keep awake time. So I'm hoping updates will fix the issue.

I've heard people uninstalling Google Services helps. Might cause issues elsewhere though. I think certain battery savers can limit specific apps from keeping the device awake. Im on CM and my device goes into deep sleep quite often. Like 86% of the time.

Better battery stats always helps finding the culprit. I had some issues with suspend_backoff and it seems chrome was the issue for me.

A thousand times THIS.
If you really want FB install tinfoil. You lose notifications, but it's FBs garbage constant notification polling that is keeping your device awake.
Not trying to defend Facebook but.... Its not like fb doesn't have the option to turn notifications off. Chat availability off. Refresh interval to never. Messenger location off.
At some point no matter how bad the app is it comes down to user error.

It doesn't matter. I turn that crap off and while it probably helps, FB is always eating up tons of memory and keeping the battery drained.
I use APW Widgets, setup a Facebook widget, and click through to the mobile Facebook page using Next Browser. The Facebook app has some perks over this but using this method, I know its not leeching my contacts and mobile usage.

I believe you as I've had issues like this too with many apps.
What I don't understand is how two people with same hardware, same ROM, install same app, one will have drain and the other doesn't. For example I have FB installed on my N7 2013 and its fine (at least it doesn't pop up in the usage chart if I don't use it).

Using memory doesn't = using battery,
With those settings the device should idle perfectly. Assuming the rest of your set up is well behaved of course.
While your device is up and running the process will run time to time but it shouldn't cause any noticeable battery drain.
Don't get me wrong I can go on and on about all the stupid things that app does but set it up that way and you should not suffer any battery issues / drainage.
Once the MBA and CEO Class got their hands on Facebook it was Game Over .....
Most MBA's and CEO's aren't well enough educated to run a technically/scientifically based operation .... Look what happened to Gateway, Yahoo, Dell and almost happened to Apple in the 90's before they brought the Brains back ....
Google is one of the few that haven't went that route which is why they are leading the pack on most things. .... As long as the Brains of Google keep majority share and thus control of Googler I'll stay invested but as soon as the MBA and CEO Class takes ovber (hopefully never) I'll dump all my Google stock just like I did with Yahoo in early 2000 .....
Just look at the Damage the MBA and CEO Class did in the late 90's (The wrongly named Dot Com Bust) and in 2008 ..... Mainly because they are too poorly educated to work the technology and their insane belief in disproven Economic Theories like Supply Side that falls completely to pieces in the Tech World ....

I'm gonna tell you greenify changed my life, my battery life that is. Try it out and you will not be dissapointed.
an app that has not been used in over a day.. after a reboot yesterday should not be in top ten active apps and have near 7000 wakelocks when all notifications in the app are turned off. so yes, Facebook app sucks more than just itself
still. I'm at 22 hours unplugged, 4 and a half hours screen on time and only at 54% battery... I rate that as good

I haven't had any need yet on my Nexus 7, but I found Gemini App Manager to be a godsend on my Virgin Mobile phone. I can disable all the Intents that apps believe they ought to wake for and just allow them to respond to me actually running them. Much better battery life and more responsive phone without memory cluttered by all the bloatware that believes it needs to run all the time.

Anyone experiencing faster battery drain on 4.4.2?

I updated to 4.4.2 a few days ago and am noticing faster battery drain. Just curious if anyone else noticed this?
Yup. Have tried factory resetting twice. Clearing cache. Disabling nearly everything possible. No avail.
Mine was draining a bit faster than normal after the update. I let it run all the way down, and charged it up, and it has been fine since then.
Hope it works out for you guys.

Camera bug = Battery Drain
Did some looking around, and it appears to be a bug related to the camera (i know, sounds a little odd).
Here's one link of many I've found regarding this issue...Samsung has acknowledged an issue and is working on a fix:
"cultofandroid.com/53672/google-vows-fix-android-4-4-2s-camera-battery-drain-bug"
I am thinking this is more regarding the ASOP camera. We don't have that file or app that they say to look for.

I posted this in the 4.4.2 issues thread, but will post here:
EAS continuously running....I found this out as well after the update. I cant believe its low priority for such a major issue. I switched mine to manual just to be safe. I also found a major battery drain issue when surfing on the internet via LTE service.
Any way, I wanted to see if others could replicate my issue:
-Stock (non-rooted) S4 phone with the recent 4.4.2 update on LTE with 5 bars of service.
-I am using Chrome to surf the internet.
-I have Exchange and Gmail accounts. Gmail is set to PUSH and exchange is set to manual. (My hope is that having Exchange set to manual I avoid the EAS issue described above.)
-Majority of the boatware turned off
Scenario: While using Chrome to surf via LTE service I am literally able to see a 1% decrease in battery ever 2-3 minutes of surfing on the internet. Wifi is better, but still drains faster than 4.3.
Can anyone else try and replicate and respond back? I may have to do a hard reset to see if it will remedy the issue. :-/
Thanks,
Eric
My battery life has been exponentially better since enabling battery guru. Use inactivity power boost to disable all app refresh after 15 minutes of inactivity. Set everything to manual refresh.

Yes I have had worse battery drain with the KitKat update. Hoping for an AT&T update since we dont have the option to flash roms...
What are you actually seeing for battery consumption?
I have google+ at the top of the list with >30% use. Definitely new after 4.4.2 update.
Seemed to be ok for a day and then popped back up. I'm going to try to see if it's caused by 1st use of the camera.

I'm not using live wallpapers.
Rebooting the phone and avoiding use of the camera did not help.
I uninstalled all google+ updates that that has worked so far, but definitely not a long term solution.
Well I would up flashing the MK2 revert, then changed my mind and re-updated to NB1 (these two processes involved many full-wipes and even flashing a .pit file). Installed all my apps one-by-one. I'm now getting better battery life. Still higher than previous usage by Android System (usually ends up being 14-17%).
NB1 now works pretty damn well for me. Once we get root I will be able to disable some stupid things like the boot sound and charger connection sound, along with a few apps that just don't need to be running like Knox and Security Policy Updates...

LRX21Q Improvements

So, I manually flashed the recent OTA. Felt like sharing what I have noticed.
For one thing, EVERYTHING is snappier. Going into recent apps is fast, home screen and apps don't take forever to load. That's a definite improvement. If it changes after running for awhile, I'll update.
Google Now's Always On voice recognition now works. I couldn't get it to work while away from the Google Now launcher before the update.
Uncertain about battery consumption with browsers yet. I'm hopeful, and the back of my tablet not being a toaster oven all the time while browsing on Xda gives me hope, but again, this is me just being hopeful.
Nothing for enabling the notification LED yet. Weird.
All I can see. Share what you've seen here.

Thanks for the impressions. Hopefully the excessive power usage while using browser is fixed or will be soon.
I will note though that even though it shouldn't need to be used to avoid using Chrome, I think that using Tapatalk to browse XDA is a better experience. IMO, of course.

That heat is coming from the processor, that just means it's just under heavy load.

I've noticed the same thing. Basically the stutter and lags have pretty much been fixed. For those wondering the home screen refresh has also been fixed.
I've been testing battery life today in combination with the chrome beta browser. Where I used to get 4/5 hours of sot with a single charge I'm now at 4.15 minutes of sot with 52% of battery left.
The new update has done wonders for the n9 and it just shows how much lollipop is still in it's infancy and still needs some updates to get everything sorted out. I'm sure it's the same for the Nexus 6.

I think he is referring to the re-draw that seems to occur randomly when returning back to the home screen. Based on the impressions I may just flash the factory image to LRX21Q if these improvements are widespread. I still haven't received the OTA and can't sideload it because my tablet is still on the pre-release BL for some reason.

Was never a problem with my nexus 9. Working flawless.
It feels faster for sure, doesn't seem to get as hot either but maybe it does.
Yes I definitely see the improvement. I was one of the first buyers on the first day. But the unit I got has defected NFC chip. I returned it and got a replacement. Latest update definitely fixed the stutters and lags. I can vow for this.

Do you think that the overheating issue near the camera and the issue where the screen is flickering when the device is not at full brightness, can be fixed by a software update or a firmware update?

François Simond a kernel dev said this.
Francisco Franco9:36 AM+5
Just a heads-up, this OTA provides a VERY significant performance improvement - there was a Kernel regression that they fixed on this build regarding memory cgroups. Its very noticeable while using the tablet with this new patch.
I haven't noticed a difference yet but I didn't do s full wipe when I flashed.

Nexus 6p Battery Issue

Hey Guys,
I have a nexus 6p the 64 gb version ,and its one of the greatest phones I have ever owned. Everything about it is great, unfortunately the past couple of weeks my phone battery started to drain extremely fast. My phone now doesn’t last a full day and it constantly overheats. I’m a very heavy user, I almost do anything electronically on my phone, but before the battery drain my phone didn’t overheat nor its battery drained that fast.
There is no apparent reason why this is happening, I did not change my frequency or intensity using my phone. But I think there is possible reasons:
-Google latest update
- Charging my phone BRIEFLY with a non-certified type C cable (I didn’t know there was an issue with those cable before)
- A certain application that runs in the background (phone is always warm and when on usually overheats even if just browsing)
One of the great things I admired about my Nexus was its long lasting battery life and rapid charging. I’m really disappointed, I really liked this phone and wanted to last. Please if anybody faced the same issue or have any suggestions, solutions etc, please share. I have attached a report showing my battery use.
Thanks Aalot
**my phone is not rooted or anything it’s just plain stock android
The first thing I would have pointed out, is a custom kernel, tweaked inappropriately. But you ruled that out.
Now since your device is not rooted, there are not much ways to track the drain. I certainly believe that, there is a specific app that is causing the drain.
First of all, thanks for your response.
A small percentage of the battery is consumed by apps the rest is for the screen

Do you know any application that can measure each app battery consumption. Because it will be very difficult determining which app is sucking all the juice

I just got mine last Thursday and I'm also a little disappointed with the battery life. When I set up the phone, there were 3 or 4 google updates and the phone only lasted for less than 8 hours. I'm thinking it's due to the whole set up process.
I did a hard reset due to missing wifi passwords and I'm currently monitoring the battery drain.
Coming from OnePlus One, the battery life on this is really disappointing. But then again, I always have my anker battery charger with me. I'm hoping once the apps settle, battery life should improve.

I uninstalled FB, Messenger, and a couple of other apps that were restored from initial set up, powered off and wiped cache. So far, battery is holding up. If drain continues, I will factory reset and install apps one by one

Go to Settings >Battery and see what is causing it. It may be an app that you updated. Try wiping cache or uninstall/install the updated app. If still draining, you may have to factory reset from boot and install apps one at a time instead of restoring backup.

Same here. Tired of this sutuation already, sometimes it works properly 1-2 % even 0 on morning, but sometimes it loses 10-15 %, I didn't install any new applications in monthes, it just started.
