- AND HOW WILL to the battery will lose a lot on performance How will I use g Watcha now holds 2.5 DAY
Thanks for your help and best regards
sorry my english
Pretty hard to understand but android wear is compatible to any android device I believe 4.2 and higher. I have a samsung gear live and have no issues
I m using lg g watch with my nexus 4, it is working perfectly, yup battery life gets decreased due to bluetooth connectivity all the time sending and recievibg data to and from watch,but its only like a percent more for an hour

What do you mean by Joke?
Anyway the LG G Watch will work with every phone that have Android 4.3+ and bluetooth 4.0.
Open this link in your phone browser http://g.co/WearCheck, it will check the compatibility.
The bluetooth 4.0 bring low energy connection so it will decrease phone battery life but just a little.
The LG G Watch don't have enough battery for 2 days, you must charge every night. (or day if you work at night).
I regret the fact I updated my Note 5 to marshmallow few months back the battery performance has been so inconsistent that it's really marred my pleasure of using Note 5!
Before anyone asks my Note 5 is not rooted and I double checked it does not have deep sleep issue, I have done several hard reset still no joy battery is life is ridiculous, some days its okay other days its dire! Also tried disable the Fast Charge trick to no avail, it helps a little but not much. My usage pattern has not changed it the same from day one nor have I installed gazillion apps.
I have now decided to sell my Note 5 , looking at getting either HTC 10 or S7 Edge keep me going until Note 6 is released.
Agreed. I miss my note 4 hot swappable batteries ...sent from my nearly out of juice note 5.

As the title suggest. I am in need of a new phone. I current have an LG G3 and I love it. I drive for UPS so when I'm on a blind route I need to have a long lasting battery for GPS. Plus i stream music all day long (at least 10 hours). With the G3 I tend to swap batteries at about then 8 hours mark if not the 9. I know with the 6P thats not possible. But I do have a battery pack I can charge it on. Which i hate doing but if it can charge up fairly fast. like 20% in 15 minutes or so thats great.
The V10 i've been reading so many reviews of horrible battery life, some even saying the battery is done after 5-6 hours. But it is a removable battery so not that big of a deal, but 5-6 hours is crap.
So help me out here. Which one do ya'll suggest...and yes i know I'm in the Nexus 6p group, but you're all XDA'ers and I'm sure you've all used a multitude of phones.
How much juice can the 6P soak up from a 2.1 volt or amp..never remember what it is, battery backup in 15-30 minutes time?
how long are you getting out of a full battery after you root, rom, customize your 6P?
I've noticed there is no real "following" in the V10 development thread. So thats also a bad mark for the V10.
The 6p will be done with 6hrs SOT. Actually, running GPS and music, even with screen off im not sure you can hit 8 hrs regardless of ROM or kernel. That's a tall order, GPS kills battery on any device.
Why not just charge it while using it with a DC charger?
6P all the way. I have the 6P and my brother has the V10 and my phone blows the V10 outta the water... His phone is dead by 11am and the poor software makes the phone slow. If anything get the G5 if you're set on LG. The 6P is the best phone I've ever owned. From iPhone 3g, 4, SIII, note 3 and 4. My only con would be the camera and it's difficulty in focusing on close objects (could be user error!)
I owned the v10 and battery life is weak. Go with the 6p and you won't regret being stuck on a locked bootloader ( if you're not using the T-Mobile variant) you have more options and the front facing speakers blow the v10 out of the water
maybe you should get the s7 edge, it has superior battery life than v10 and n6p, but is fragile. also i am getting 2-4 hrs sot on n6p no matter the rom or kernel , with 3g on all the time.
thanks guys. i cant charge the phone while using it thru DC because no sockets in the trucks. i wish they would start installing those things but no luck. its gotta be a battery pack.
ive never been a samsung fan.
Don't get the V10.. I had the G3 and was in love with that phone! It had everything I wanted in it, but got fed up with not having a "pure android" phone so got the 6P, my first Nexus device. My buddy just got a new phone around January and love the V10, but started running into issues with the battery. It wouldn't charge properly, the battery port was busted and wouldn't hold the charger in place so he had to get a new phone and when it came in the mail it always randomly reboots. So not sure if he is having bad luck or if the issue is with the first generation of that device.
Wouldn't touch an LG device right now. I loved my G3, and my G4 was just replaced with a 6P. Terrible battery, bootloops and wifi is terribly broken on the G4. not the same phone as the V10 but close enough. LG is having tons of issues right now
I had the v10 before I bought my 6P and hated that phone with a passion. The screen would have weird colors, battery life sucked, and the dev community for it is lacking. I highly recommend the 6P
Hello everyone,
a few days ago I broke my Nexus 6. I am now about to buy a new phone. The Google Pixel L looks really nice but way to expensive.
The Nexus 6P comes next which costs nearly as much (or even less) than a new Nexus 6 would cost. But is the Nexus 6P still worth it?
Battery life seems to be worse than on the Nexus 6, is this correct?
Camera is better than Nexus 6 but worse than Pixel L and other new phones (samsung/iphone) ?
Performance would be more than enough.
Faster decryption than Nexus 6
Feels better in the hand than the Nexus 6
Anything else I should consider?
Thanks in advance !
I upgraded from the N6 to the 6P about a month ago and I couldn't be happier. Camera is better. Battery life is double what it was on the N6, at least for me it is (I'm not arguing over it). Performance is similar. The one thing that makes it an upgrade for me is that the 6P is easier to use on the go, it's not as wide, really makes a difference.
Im in the same boat, need a phone. Only thing that scares me is all the complaints about the 6p battery starting to degrade after long a year ;-/
I recently "upgraded" from a N6 to a 6P, I'd do it again . Similar performance, camera....Not a huge deal to me. battery life isn't as good as my n6, it seems maybe my used 6p has had a rougher battery life than my n6. It gets me through an average days use but no 5.5-6 hours of SOT.
It feels much better in the hand than the n6, the sRGB mode is a winner in for me, finger print scanner is a nice feature. It's also a nexus, unfortunately the last.
I say do it if you can get a good deal.
I was able to pick up a 64gb for under 300 USD!!
Hm thanka for the input. I am not sure if there are any real alternatives for the same price anyway?

I too manage to get my Nexus 6P for under 300, I got mine for 130 and I have to say, it is well worth in getting.
I also am coming from the Nexus 6 as mine has recently broke last month, a day after Thanksgiving. I ended up cracking the screen whilst having the screenprotector on it and you could tell, there is a difference in using the 6P to the 6. With the 6P, it is less wider and feels good in the hand whereas with the 6 it sorta felt like you were holding a brick. The Gorilla Glass 4 which is used on the 6P feels very strong than to the 6's and the screen resolution is amazing. I think if you are able to find a good price on it, it is well worth the money.

The degrading battery issue mentioned below, is false for me - completely. Yes, I get degrading but this is normal for ANY lithium battery on the market. And I have a estimated capacity of 3,223. This is only 6% degrading over a year and a half. Plus you can get the phone for half the price of google, on swappa and various other sites in mint condition.
Side note: I feel the degrading issue is more of a myth caused by the recent battery drain issues of Nougat, and users probably blamed their device rather than the software.
Otherwise, I love this phone. Would absolutely get it again. Hope you come to a decision that satisfies you!

Every phones section on XDA is going to complain about the battery on every phone. There could be a phone with a 10,000 milla amp battery and there would still be people on XDA going
"oh i only got 8hrs of SOT seems pretty low for a phone with a 10k battery"
*update comes out*
"OMG my battery sucks on the new update"
Literally every phone i have owned that XDA section complained about the battery.
LG G2X, MyTouch Slide, Galaxy Nexus, Note 2 (that phone was awesome on battery) Nexus 5, Galaxy S6 Edge, Nexus 6P,

Oh yea I understand that but I was more so concerned with something just being wrong with the 6p as in a defect that they didn't tell us about just to sale phones
I'm considering going with the 6P over my Axon 7. I'm really missing the big screen, seemless Verizon compatibility and lots of ROMs. I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm lurking in the 6P forums thinking about it... The Axon isn't bad but the dev community pales in comparison to the 6P.

If you are going to use your phone for more that 2 years get pixel XL it's going to pay for it self but if Nexus 6P is still really smooth
P.S I have the 6P
Go for it! I was on the same boat as you. Was caught in between oneplus3 and 6p.Was coming from oneplus2. I wanted a pure android exp without rooting so I gave 6p a go. Battery has been good for me.Camera is fantastic,i had friends commended the quality and most of them are using iphones. It never felt an old device.

Lol there is absolutely NO battery issue. There is NO battery issue with Nougat. Everyone here complains that there is a battery issue with nougat just as they did with marshmallow and lollipop and kitkat etc.
I just purchased the N6P to replace my V20. I love it so far. Good battery life and excellent camera.
My only complaint (I'm just waiting for a response on this in the Noob Question thread) is that it's a bit sluggish when using some apps and web browsing. Other that it's a blast to use.
Did you get a new 6P? I returned my Axon and am still looking for something to replace my V10...
Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
Bought a 128gb N6P on eBay a couple days ago and waiting for it to arrive. Just read about the early shutdown issues with batteries that still have a charge. That's my bad for not looking into the phone a little bit more than I did. I too will be replacing a Motorola N6 that I was planning on selling after but maybe I'll wait and see if this affects the phone that I bought.
Ill be happy to report after I get my N6P in a couple days.
NO! If you haven't heard. They no longer work. Drop at 15 percent battery to nothing. Battery or software problems. Get a OnePlus 3t
I'm on 7.0 and not having any issues with my 6P. Excellent battery life (4.5-5 hrs sot) and perfectly stable performance. I had it with me skiing last sunday in 4 degree F weather and it performed flawlessly as well.
I'm on a 7.1.1 ROM and I can use the phone clear down to 1 percent battery. The shutdown bug isn't universal at all. The 6p is easily my favorite phone yet, FWIW.

That's surprising. I've always found the 6P fast and smooth. Did you purchase a new, used or refurbished phone? Are you running stock Android? If so, which build?
---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
The 6P is a bargain now that the Pixel is out but if I had the money I would probably purchase a Pixel instead. There are bugs (random reboots; phone shutdown at 15% battery) that are affecting a small but still significant number of 6P users. If you buy a 6P make sure it has a full warranty.
Edit: nothing to see here, only 6:17 hours, with only 2% remaining. For some reason the screen jumped on draining battery i guess.
Hello there! I was just on my way to home and i have some minutes to write about what is being a VERY nice surprise: just 4 hours on SOT and 48% battery yet.
My personal recipe, just begun on a lot of testing custom roms that will only deliver at most like 4 hours on sot, and maybe less.
So, here's my test:
Stock MM rom - decrypted
Pico gapps
Normal apps like Facebook, ig, lnkdn, wsap, here maps and others.
I know, and i'm aware about the security issues, and i was thinking on a replacement phone, yhe hell that i'm going to let down my beloved MOTO N6; i whish that this phone would have a 4000mah battery.
Best phone ever.

I can't upload pics, but i will upload as soon as possible on a desktop, and coz i don't have a tapaccount, but just to make things clear i been testing and using a lot of custom roms, included these ones that claim bug-free oses.
Well, i would whish a clean MIUI launcher and i would be done with this.

I have been looking at the motorola e4 plus, the battery is 5000mah, would it have the same size to modify the N6?

Curious, if you're running stock MM, why flash Pico Gapps?

Yeah, flashed through NRT, and then flashed picogapps in recovery.
To clarify things:
the phone has stock android mm mob31t (flashed with NRT for unencrypted data partition)
Lastest recovery teamwin 3.0.3
Picogapps.
Some minor tweaks in settings, like enabled dev, for sppeding animations. Gps on device only.

Not that much, he's rooted and encryption disabled.
I turned off every feature I don't use. I activate a feature, only when I need it, just as long as I need it.
(BT always off, Wifi when needed, data always on, NFC always disabled, Ambiant display disabled, greenified everything, set a true black theme with black wallpaper, no gesture, LED activated)
You can earn maybe one or two SOT hours more, but you have to lower the resolution/density. (That increase perfomances too)
Edit: You can reach 10h SOT without lowering screen density... (while calling/texting/browsing/networking/youtubing)

Did not try Paranoid, but I read that it isn't stable at that time.
PN is stable, have nice features and is well updated. Good perfs and battery life.
In my case, I don't want to switch to another because PN works fine. And I learned to keep working things instead of switching and take the risk that it won't work anymore..

Good to know, how i can apply a dark teme? I'm on stock kernel, in some moment i did test the lowerin resolution too but i was unable to check any difference, i will check that again.
I did test the pure nexus too, and never reached the 5 hours on SOT, plus a little buggy for that time, (two months ago)

If I am right, layers on MM can be changed with RRO Layers, which is now deprecated.
You'll have to download the RRO LAyer manager and then somme layers of your choice.
If you wanna lower screen density, the better choice is 720p because of the homothetic proportions. (otherwise, some icons may be bugged)
I forgot, I try to avoid heavy apps. I did not install facebook and created a shortcut to fbchrome's page. Same thing with Tweeter.
GPS also disabled if not needed

Please let us know. I'm installing a droid turbo battery (3900mah) in my Nexus 6 soon. The zerolemon note 4 I had broke that phone isn't any where near as smooth as the Nexus but I still miss the insane battery life. I'm willing to buy an e4 plus if the battery connects. The Nexus 6 was my girlfriend's old phone she upgraded to the s8 plus.

I'll see if it fits this weekend. I'm currently using a Moto Z Play and the battery life is off the charts.
I have about 4-5 Nexus 6's that I can tinker with and about 2-3 Droid Turbo's that have good batteries also

It will fit with some modifications. Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/battery-mod-t3536162 . Ordered a new Nexus 6 mid housing on Amazon for 10$ just in case I mess mine up. I'll post some pics this weekend. My battery life now is terrible.. Figured if I need to replace the battery anyways might as well upgrade it.
So I did the Droid turbo battery swap. So far so good battery life seems way better than the stock dying battery. I did have to modify the frame some to make the battery and back cover fit.Wireless charging and everything works.
