So I have only had the Android M preview for a day, obviously. While I am coming from cyanogenmod, which admittedly did not get the best battery, the Android M preview is getting AMAZING battery. I'd typically have to charge my phone around 5. Its currently 10 and I'm at 30%. I can tell when Doze kicks on in battery stats, and it makes battery drain nonexistent. Standby time is amazing. The steep drop that occurred recently is due to my mobile hotspot being on, don't mind that. Before I had it on, I was lasting until 6 A.M, according to stats. SOT is currently 3 hours, which is usually lower than what I do per day, but I usually charge around 2-3 for a quick top up.
Preformance is very well, while it isn't as good as it was on 5.1.1 (which imo was next to perfect), it is better than it was back in the days of 5.0.2.
I honestly cannot wait until Google Play Services is optimistized even more. That is now my biggest battery drain, since Android System is now completely optimized
Tl;dr, nexus 6 battery life and performance on Android M is amazing
Mine has been horrific, with Google services eating 36% of my battery. I suspect that is a reporting error but it's really too early to tell. We won't really know for a few cycles IMHO.
--
Update 6/2 - I have been through numerous flashes to get the phone where I want it with root, etc. and I can say it has settled in nicely. I would say battery is better now than stock loli, but not as good as custom roms. Best loss was 2.7%/hour, worst was 5.6% with similar activity. Doze does make a significant difference with standby time, the battery graph basically goes flat when idle for extended periods. For a first release I am impressed.
For a stock un-rooted kernel, my battery life has been pretty good. Its not a good as hells-kernel or zen kernel, but again, this is stock we're talking about.
With lollipop running hellscore, i would be closer to 2:45-3hours SOT when the battery is at 50%.
How about adding a poll option for "about the same as lollipop", which is what I'm seeing.

Nothing special, this is what I do with all my phones...
* Turned location history to off
* Location Mode: battery saving
* google plus notifications off
* nfc off
* ok google detection off
* all google apps syncing on
* exchange email syncing every hour
* adaptive brightness on, slider at 60%
* tmobile wifi calling on
Mine has been kept awake and I have no idea what's doing it. Under battery, the only thing that shows up is System UI. Nothing else, no apps or anything else shows there.

Hold up - is T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling working in the m preview? I've been debating whether or not I should make a nandroid and flashing it. My buddy and I are playing a game of chicken on who flashes first.
That said, is it worth it? Is there enough good stuff working that you'd use it as a daily driver over 5.1.1?

Stable as a rock with WiFi calling working here.
This is the best preview I've ever flashed, Google really stepped up their game with this one. Android M is like a refined version of lollipop and the battery life is just as good as 5.1.1 ?
No problem with battery life on M. For a preview its damn good.

Brightness around 30%, manual sync, location off. No servicely or greenify. Google live case wallpaper so NFC on. I am still on the 98r radio as I was hesitant to flash the new one.
Mine has been great as well
I had 4 sot and was at 18% before putting it on the charger. Played with my CoC and did imgur for most of the sot.

The only thing I haven't figured out about M, is how to force close google services, which in your case it would help to reset it.
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.

Tried that and wiped the cache partition. No luck. I'm pretty sure it's poor optimization on Nougat. Hopefully Google will fix it.

Even i was on stock Nougat for a long time...but i didnt face such issues yet. Infact i think Nougat optimizes better than Marshmallow. As battery backup has substantially increased...a bit.

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.

As I said earlier, and I can't stress it enough, install a better battery monitor such as GSAM. You can see exactly what is using your battery and what is causing wake locks. It is the best first step in trying to fix drain.

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.

Most seem to think it is too big.
what rom are you using to get those screen on times?
I usually get 6hrs to 8hrs screen on time, medium to heavy usage. have tried this on xiaomi.eu and LineageOS. maybe there's something wrong with my battery?

I am using Resurrection Remix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-5-t3717030). I use only build in battery saver.
However, I was getting more or less the same with Xiaomi.eu.
See battery stats of your phone for reasons to consume battery. Wakelock Detector app is also good in finding problems.
By the way, if you have Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed, there is your reason for poor battery life. They monitor your every action and send to their servers, which takes all the battery.

Sorry for being unclear. I have battery optimizations enabled for most apps (which are enabled by default) for Settings-Battery-Battery Optimization.
By the way, another battery affecting factor might be that I spend most of my time within range of WiFi. I have WiFi always enabled. I do not have GPS enabled, just network location. No Bluetooth.
Has anyone else tried Nap Time by Francisco Franco? Been using it on all my other phones and decided to give it a try on the 1P6T. Set it to aggressive doze and will keep thread updated on advantages or disadvantages.
I'll run a complete battery cycle using Nap Time and then another with it turned off.
Haven't installed it, have had it on previous devices. Will be interesting to follow your findings.
I feel like, with the combination of excellent out-of- the-box battery life and the Dash charging speed, there is not as much reason to skrimp and save on battery power by using Franco's excellent app.
When you can get screen on times that are practically all day and you can get a massive recharge in 10 -20 minutes ... I'm far less inclined to spend much time tweaking the kennel and searching for wake locks etc.
Franco makes good stuff though. Used his kernels for years.
Greenify and other nap apps are considered as useless in pie, native battery optimization is enough. I ditch them months ago without any visible difference.
The only thing I think will make a difference is Leandroid switching mobile data off when the screen goes off. This is a because of the Mobile Radio Active battery bug. That said I'm now a week in to my 6t and haven't noticed the drain, so it looks like OnePlus fixed it, OR, the battery is just so good it doesn't cause inadequate battery life anymore. (I've not rooted yet, which is a sign the phone is excellent.)

Cool, thanks. Will try it out and see if the phone goes into deep sleep quicker than without it.
Nap Time works fantastic here, now gets pretty much instant deep sleep.

I've been using it also and I'm getting about 97% deep sleep while I sleep through the night
hi.. may i know if you guys remove naptime from the OOS battery optimization or not?
I tried this but nothing has helped the massive battery drain I've been getting since finally rooting the TMO variant. Google music is using like 80% of the battery and not going to sleep.
My battery has been awful on my phone since day 1 which was when I rooted. The last 6t I had for about 10 days , did not root, battery was much better. Going to try this app
I turned on "disable motion detection during doze" and notice that ambient display doesn't work on tap. It might be the case that it doesn't work when the phone is in deep doze. Hmm, a bug on oneplus's end?

if im not wrong, the app will ask you to remove it from being optimize
I have now tried this for a few days and notice no changes in battery.
I do notice that it goes in doze mode more often and more quickly (gsam battery monitor) I don't see any difference at all other than that.
Hi, can I check if this is Naptime working normally?
Btw It says 72% in 11 hours because i had the phone with justo the screen off all the night, but It normally says i have around 4 hours of screen time. But as i said in the title, gsam says that, it may be that im misunderstanding what the percentages mean, because my settings use of batery says another thing.
I recently flashed the Evolution X ROM, but It was the same with the oxygenos 11 stock rom
EDIT: i justo checked gsam percentages are how much time It was used, not how much of the batery It has used, so nevermind
EDIT 2: Still, i think 4 hours of screentime is still too low, could It be that my battery is damaged??

You are using a custom rom. I dont use this phone for a month anymore but the last time i used it auto brightness was broken on custom roms and no fix in sight. So display was the biggest battery drainer.
This was never the case on OOS roms.
Anyway for me the battery of the op8pro was some of the disadvantages. Im now using the Nothing Phone 1 and its like day and night.
Nothing is focusing on software optimisation and you can feel it.

After some use the battery is not as good but it isn't bad either so i will stick to this until my phone fully breaks or something.

I guess the biggens drain was when it was supposed to sleep like being in your pocket or face down. The battery just click down no matter what I did. I did not let it drain since I am a full charge freak.
In contrast AICP barely uses anything when the screen is on AOD. My phone has been on for 15 hours right now and is at 47% with about 6 hours of use. I think if I didn't charge on the EVO X rom, it want last about 8 hours under the same conditions. I like the rom and wish I could use it but I have a weird feeling like I am being ripped off when my battery drains that fast.

Same, but the rom is so smooth and since the battery is still better than stock i'll keep this rom until i really need to flash another one because of the battery life
