Getting 3.5 SOT, is this normal? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone.
I get about 3.5 hours of SOT with a max of around 4 from time to time. (Adaptive brightness turned off, brightness set to around 50%) I'm not an aggressive user and I've even had my battery go low before I've even reached 3 hours of screen time. I'm on stock rooted with nothing real special going on. I'm not against using a different rom if I have to in order to get better battery life.
My experience so far is that the battery seems average at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
Forgot to mention, I do leave wifi and bluetooth on 24/7. GPS is usually set to high accuracy as well. Wifi & bluetooth scanning are both off. In the battery stats page it shows the device being in an awaken state a lot more than when the screen is actually on... bluetooth wake lock issue?

Sounds good

I pray this is sarcasm.
3/4 of this forum is being saturated by SoT topics and posts, and ppl thinking they should be getting 24hrs of screen time.
This could have EASILY been placed in any of those threads, is my point.

im easily getting 6-8 hours of SOT. pure nexus, elementalx, and greenify. i use my phone all day and still get 17-20 hours of total use. everything on and when battery gets to about 30% i turn on powersave option with the elementalx app. also with the elementalx i use the settings posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557 and my phone hasnt bogged down whatsoever. give it a try.

I agree it's unnecessary but no need to be a ****, it's not that big of a deal.

I get about 3.5 - 4 hours it honestly depends on your usage, there's a battery life thread in real reviews you should check out battery life is going to be different for everyone. Signal strength, carrier, amount used on wifi, personal use, apps all have a factor on it.

I've always gotten between 5-6 hours SOT. I don't leave all that on. If I'm not using it I turn it off and I use a custom kernel always. Usually ak or Kylo. Best battery I've ever gotten constantly on any device I've ever owned.

CM7 is so amazing......the battery charges itself without power!

Wow! I could get used to this!
That is meaningless without posting your screen on time and usage. I can get 4 days on my phone if I only use it as a phone with a few calls.
i tend to agree with cm7's battery life is fantastic

4 days? ok...don't believe that.
I'm just using my phone as I always do, steam some music, make some calls, text a bit.. etc.
I was kidding about it recharging itself......but that's what the battery level indicator says it does.
If I could find my 60 dollar extended battery........I bet this thing would last forever.

Yup. Posted a thread about it a few months ago. It was over a 3 day weekend and on wifi. There were screen shots in that thread too. That is why without screen on times the percentages are meaningless. I only made a couple of short calls. And this was on leaked GB.

The thread I posted actually had more usage and I was at 37 hours with 17% left when I plugged it in. I didn't post the 4 day test when I didn't really use the phone at all.

30% of total time.....?? isn't that how you could figure it out. Anyway, total screen on time was 1.45 hours. I have it set to go off at 10 seconds of no use.
Meh. The only thing that matters is the screen on time, show me with 3+ hours then they will count.

No that is 30% of total usage not of total time. They all add up to 100%. As said 1.45 hours is typical with 50% left. But maybe that is a lot better for you than your previous ROM.

Why is it that when I use an app for 3 minutes, I lose ten percent and you guys are getting such great battery life? o-o
I've calibrated, put on lowest brightness, not syncing anything, turned off notifications in tons of apps, no gps, no bluetooth, etc. and battery life is just awful

Reason for this is un-calibration. If you use something that's battery hogging and once your done using that app it eventually goes up some, kind of a like a battery's temp. once you get it hot because of whatever activity the phone is processing, once you cool off and stop doing that it goes down in temp.

I found major drain when I froze DRM and Google Talk and had AdFree installed. Defrosted them both and removed AdFree. I've had great battery life again ever since...without calibration nonsense.
I think the system expects these apps and keeps trying to use them. Kind of like the Task Killer Circle of Death. I don't know why AdFree was a problem.

I maxxed out at ~74hours of standby time before, on 3g the whole time & stock battery (from Sept 2010). This was on my current setup.
Legendary v4.0.1 & provided Samurai kernel.
However, my phone hasn't hit that mark again. Mostly b/c of data hungry apps.

I was in front of a computer working for many of those hours. When I wasn't working, I was sleeping.
I think I only had 3 texts and 1 voicemail the whole time (rare). When I hit 36hours I decided to just ride it out and see how long it can go.
The screen on time was like ~25mins and TWS was ~ 3%. The phone basically sat on a desk/nightstand the entire time since I was in front of a computer most of the time. Not the best example normal usage vs battery life, but it hit the 74hour mark.

Help me understand my battery

Nexus 6p running 7.1.1 beta. Rooted, but running stock ROM and kernel. Only modifications are Pixel launcher and Google Assistant. Brightness at 10-15%. Wi-Fi is on while the screen is on only, but Bluetooth and mobile data are always off. Location services are set to battery saving. Screen timeout set to 30 seconds. Adaptive brightness and ambient display is off. I'm only getting 3hrs SOT, but standby time is great. Only watch one hour of YouTube altogether and use social media often. Is this good or is there something wrong with my battery? ?

Install a battery app like GSAM and you can see what is using it, or things that may be causing wake locks.

I get 4 hrs of SOT
Average use daily is checking e-mails - checking Facebook and Twitter - Youtube and Music streaming - no games.... Sometimes, it drains without even doing that and I barely pass a day without charging it.....
PS:
The Screen on time is inconsistent as it might be just 2 hrs or 3 hrs and it would be consumed completely!
Is there a ROM or an app or anything that can help me get better SOT?
Thanks and apologies for the message, I now know that it was unnecessary.

Make sure you let it run for a couple full cycles and you have to read it correctly. You can't get useful stats the minute you install it because it needs to run through full cycles while charging and unplugged, as it can only provide information for the time it's been installed. The longer you run it, the more accurate it is. Second, the App Usage stat is a percentage of the percentage of battery used. So if your battery is at 70% when you look at app usage and it says those things used 57% of the battery, that's 57% of the 30% used to that point.
You also need to look at the Held Awake stats because that will tell you what, if any, processes are keeping your phone awake and thus contributing to drain.
I have found that the system in Nougat does tend to use more battery than it did in MM. However, doze implementation is better and it deep sleeps more and does a better job of saving battery. In fact since Nougat, I've stopped using Greenify because it actually seemed to make my battery worse. Since I've been on Nougat I get well over a day on a charge with about 5-5:30 SoT. However, battery also comes down to what ROM and kernel you use and how much you do processor and screen intensive tasks. Music streaming doesn't tend to use much battery, but if you spend a lot of time web surfing, Youtube and games, you'll cook your battery no matter what. If you use the Facebook app, nothing you can do will help as it's a dreadful battery suck.
Here are the numbers provided by the GSam App
Are these numbers good or bad?
The average use gets me through the day but if I use it heavily, it would last 3hrs max.

Mine still get the same as it did out of the box. I'm on OB10 with great battery life. I average 45-50 hours if I'm not on it all day I usually get 4-6 hour SOT and still have 15% or so at the end of the second day. But if I'm on it heavy all day I still get 4-5 hours SOT and not have to plug it in until I go to bed usually.
Pics are about 3 days old but for example..

To explain it better, your SOT says 6 hours from last full charge, and on your third picture it shows a charge from around 25% to 75% then you've discharged again to 7%. So the SOT was from the full charge and then and 50% charge in between. So that 6 hours of SOT was from about 118% of battery usage.
So yeah, that's good screen time.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm new to this A/B thing so I need to read up on it a little more and about doing the backups correctly because I've seen that is different also. But soon as I get time to sit down and play I'll be jumping into it!
When you do a backup it's just the current slot it backs up. As long as you've not got multiple users you'll be fine.

Nice....It does get good life with usage and looks like it would do a lot better sitting idle like when I'm working and hardly on my phone. If not better than what I'm getting on stock/beta. :good:

Plus I used fluid to download 1.6gb then x-cast to watch a film on my TV, which is quite a high usage app.
I've had the McLaren since December 2018 running stock. I've not noticed any decline in battery life since the phone was brand new. However, I do not rapid charge my phones in an effort to extend their battery life. The exception was when my Moto X was dying last year.
Typically at the end of the day, the McLaren has about 80% charge.

My phone is a work "tool". At the end of the day, unless someone calls, I rarely touch it after work. I can charge it on Friday night, and save for some streaming in the car on the weekend, maybe a phone call or two, by Sunday, it still has 20-30% left. During the day, I use it A LOT, for calls, text, web. Around 1500 minutes on the phone per month, but rarely do I exceed 70% usage.

Battery recommendations? Does it need to be the battery for my exact model?

I noticed on eBay batteries for the Note 4 list compatible models for each battery. Are batteries for all Note 4 variants interchangeable? Or do I need to get one for my specific model? My phone is the SM-N910V model.
I'm in Canada and not looking for one of those big batteries. Just the stock/oem battery.
Personally, i would go for ravpower brand battery. on amazon too and there is for your model

Damn. I forgot about the Ravpower batteries. I had to run out and stop the garbage truck so I could snatch my phone out of the trash. I thought it was a goner. Just ordered a Ravpower from Amazon and saved my phone in time. :good:

I had to run out naked. I didn't have time to put my slippers on or some shorts. I got it tho. Should be getting the battery next week.

Lol I wouldn't be able to trash a phone, it will come back and haunt me. I know you have an LG now but how was the battery and what customisations did you do to improve battery life?
I got a ravpower battery few days ago but need some help with tweaking kernel settings etc to improve battery life as it is not that good.
Tried these optimisers like FDE and LKT but no luck, haven't tested LKT properly though as an update for FDE came out that should've fixed the CPU/GPU turbo boost thing.
Also, I don't care about gaming like PUBG (although I like it :laugh: )
Thanks for your previous advice/help and now of course.

You know what I think it's doing 10x better without optimiser thing. 10% lost by browsing on xda for 40min. Might be speaking too early.
Definitely still interested in changing some things around to improve it so please hit me with the facts/guides/tutorials/walkthroughs??!

Of course that wasn't a true story. Hah. I would never toss my "baby".
I haven't played with it much since but I ended up getting the Ravpower for it. It was cheap and arrived promptly. I used Kernel Audiutor for it and it's set to whatever the default is.
I can say I have gotten at least 90 more mins of SOT and more than a week of standby. Maybe even more. I'll power it up sometime soon and check Battery Bot.
Screenshot of my standby time. My OST is only ten mins at this point tho since this is no longer my daily driver.

Wow I actually believed it, was gonna ask if you tossed it at the bottom of a pretty much empty bin or... but it's getting emptied so must be full unless you did it earlier haha. Because I was wondering about the damage that may have occurred if this actually happened (from throwing it in the bin and then truck). How the hell would you find your phone just laying on top of all the trash in the garbage truck?!?! Now it makes sense that that's not true. I am really dumb:cyclops:
OK now I got that out of my head are you saying that kernel auditor automatically configures some things without you adjusting anything in the app? Because I didn't know that. Also what you mean by Battery Bot?
I don't think it does that unless you picked a standard configured profile that kernel auditor gives you based on device or something (not someone else's log configuration file or whatever you call it)
But like I said I don't know my kernel stuff... take your time I'm in no rush after all all of this is free and out of kindness which is something I really appreciate from XDA (or even the internet in general (duh))

Ignore battery Bot question that was quick!
Still need to look at screenshot though

I can confidently say I will get between 4-5hr SOT compared to trash SOT before (min 2hr max 4hr suprisingly, probably less intensive use)
On average 4.5 hours at least

I joke around often. Battery Bot is a great battery tool. I put the widget for it on my home screen and check it now and again to see how much approximate SOT I have left, how long it's been on standby, etc.
