After upgrading to Nougat (clan install, wipe, etc) my baterry is really worst. It is like 30-60 min less SoT than before and 60-90min less active phone, with same config, same apps, etc. Also, the phone is a lot less awake than before. After 1 year of waiting can't believe this...
How about the rest?

Dude you guys have to let the update settle in..you won't get accurate battery usage for at least 5 or 6 charge discharge cycles.

Dude, hate this kind of things. Why you think i am dumb enougth to post this without letting the battery settle down? I did the upgrade two weeks ago and have at least 30-40 full charges-discharge cycles because i use the phone a lot and now have to charge it like 3 times a day. Also do the 0 to 100% calibration a lot of times and also use the normal charger too to compare. I use Gsam battery monitor to keep tracking the battery and the media values and keep my M.M. data stored to compare later. So, please, if you don't want to help me or post how is your battery life compare please don't make this kind of post thinking the other ones are dumb people or not understand how battery work on android.
Thanks, best regards.
It seems the radios are much less efficient in Nougat than Marshmallow when the signal is below average... is GSAM showing your radio with very high percentage of battery usage? Not much we can do about that, but some users have stated with poor signal the radios are using 30% of the battery and more (where in MM it was 5-10% when signal was poor). No fix yet and flashing MM radios doesn't seem to improve it, probably have to wait for an update. :/
If that doesn't explain it, try a cache wipe, then a factory reset... I am getting to a point I am recommending a factory reset for EVERYONE on this OTA, lots of weird little bugs that seem to be cleared up on a factory reset.
Impossible to believe but 7.0 is giving best battery life when compared to 6.0.
After updating to official nougat through ota moto x style (indian version) getting best battery performance. Getting around 4.5 to 5 hours on full cycle. Due to network error not able to post pictures.

The most weird thing is that the % are the same as with M.M. so can figure out why it is drainning battery. Only a lot less time held awake from the kernell and a little bit more from screen. I tried wiping the cache like 10 times. Install and uninnstall google play services, also tried the play services beta to see if it is gettint better.
Also always do a factory reset after the install of an new OS to avoid problens, so it is a clean install. Another thing I notice is the unlinear behaviour of the battery. Maybe from 100 to 75 got 2 SoT screen time and from 75 to 10 got 1 hour.
Aniway I noticed what you are saying about the low signal drain. Last nigth i was in a place with almost no signal and the cellphone in standby mode drain like 40% in an hour.
For the others who has better battery i can't understand why i am getting less battery. I use it in the same way as marshmallow. Also i read other people having battery problems too. I will have to disable all moto features to see if i get an improvement.
Thanks to all!
Today i restart my phone. It was in 84% and after the reboot wen to 74%. Maybe the update ruinned my battery life? Really don't now what to do... I can try to change the battery but the phone is 9 month old... Anyone with a idea?
Edit: Further testing show me that everytime i reboot my phone i get a different % of battery. Also same usage get to really different battery results.
I'm getting ~2.25-2.5 hours of SOT. I've my 4G sim enabled for about 6-7 hours with mediocre signal strength. So not a good improvement over MM but that maybe because of 4G data. I need to check how it performs with only WiFi.
After Nougat update, I get about 15-20 minutes more SOT

I don't know if it's my imagination, but since the 2.4.6 update, my battery life has dropped a bit. By the time I get into my office from my morning commute, I'm anywhere in the 65-70% battery life after unplugging from a full charge. I haven't done anything new. I always unplug around 8:30 am when I head out, I do some light chatting with gf, browse some sites, check facebook (usually very briefly), and maybe sometimes do a little reading on my device. By the time I get into the office around 9:30 or 10 AM, I'm usually around the 80-85% area with battery.
Lately, doing the same thing, I'm seeing the aforementioned 65-70%.
Is anyone else experiencing decreased battery life since 2.3.6?
I'm on a Tmobile Nexus S, running stock 2.3.6 (no custom ROMs).
2.4.6 ? .... maybe 2.3.6 ... and yes, I also noticed a slight increase in power consuption after the upgrade. The stand-by is still great .. about 0.8 - 1% per hour.
Sorry, yes I meant 2.3.6.
Thanks for replying Ro_explorer. Is your increased power consumption significant? Seeing 65-70% when I'm used to seeing 80-85% as I get into my office, I find, is a large change. To be frank, the battery life of the Nexus S in general isn't so fantastic to begin with... this hit makes it worse.
Anyone else?
I used to get home with about 40-50% after a whole "normal day" (unplugged at 8AM, and getting back home at ~8PM) .. now (with the same average usage) I'm getting home with ~30-40% ... that why I said "slight increase" ...
Not your imagination, I too have noticed this. I hope the next update, will fix this - as I used to get pretty good battery life (even with over 250 apps).
When I recently updated to the 2.3.6, it caused a bug of continuous reboot (every 1-3 minutes), so I had to do a hard reset - now it works fine, but I only have added back about 15 apps - and the battery life sux!
Downgrade OS' it will be ok.
This is so weird. Why is the battery life worse?

You want bad battery life? Try an Evo 4g with a Sense rom. I averaged about 6hrs using a 1500mAh battery, in stock form.
The nexus is pretty light on power consumption, if you ask me. I average 15hrs on the stock 2.3.7 rom/kernel combo, with stock battery.

I'm on 2.3.6 and need to charge every two days. I text a lot and do light gaming. I'm typing this from my phone. Maybe you could drain the battery and wipe battery stats? I'm not even at 50% yet and I charged yesterday.

I also noticed that the battery last less time
I've been waiting to see if anybody else reporting this issue
i noticed a decent increase in battery life going to 2.3.7 and thought that previously the battery life had been fairly poor :\
I am non rooted, and get around 20 hrs on light to moderate use. Again. Stock, non rooted.
How do I recalibrate my battery? I wonder if it could be that...
There are many was to recalibrate. Some involve wiping batt stats, some plugging and unplugging phone several times after charge.
I have always found that using the battery almost all the way down, but not past 5%, and then full recharge conditions it very well.
Oh I've been here to solve the problem
"Why last 2 weeks my Nexus s drain battery so fast ? or I have to calibrate it"
Thank for your notice about update OS to 2.3.6.
I think that's a root cause for me too.
1. Could I rollback to 2.3.4 ,how?
2. Does battery calibration is useful for this case , how?( someone suggest to calibrate when flashing new rom )
Thank you very much..
i want to know who have some methods to do with this stuff

Whenever switching roms, kernels, or batteries, i always perform the following :
1. Charge to a true 100% (Battery Monitor Widget will register +0 to +2 mA)
2. Wipe battery stats using recovery (Amon RA has this option for the Evo, not sure about cwm), Battery Monitor Widget, or a dedicated app.
3. Discharge battery to 0% with normal usage. When the phone shuts down, I pull and re-install the battery and power back up (it will shutdown again very quickly).
4. Recharge battery and be on my merry way.

I found one workaround solution for this issue on
ww.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1684c50cea15282a&hl=en&fid=1684c50cea15282a0004af022e5ed212
Sproogle77 's solution
Problem solved. Using the OS Monitor app, I found that the main culprit was Google Services - the Contacts sync specifically. Even though I had this disabled (only Gmail was being allowed to sync) it was constantly working, apparently trying to fix a location. The message log showed that it was generating continuous debug messages, all about locations - around 10 of these every second.
I have solved the problem by disabling 'Use wireless networks' under the Locations & Security settings.'Use GPS satellites' is still running. This immediately dropped my CPU usage - which had been running around 30 to 40% even when otherwise idle, to around 10%. Google contacts sync is now using 0% of the CPU. The difference in battery life was pretty much immediate and is now back to what it was before - the change in the slope on the battery usage graph is remarkable!
This doesn't really seem like a solution to me, and I don't know whether other aspects of my functionality are being affected, but at least my phone is properly useable again.
I'm testing for 1 day and I think that's working for me.

One reason is that the new version of the stock kernel removed a speed stepping, so it'll power to higher levels faster, thus using more battery.

That actually isn't the problem. I'm using netarchy's kernel and still get this problem.
My battery life dropped from 16 hours --> 6 hours. the slope on my battery usage life is horrible the system is also awake almost constantly even when I'm not touching it / getting no messages.
I will try the fix suggested on the google support forum and see if that does the trick. sloppy update.
So I have updated to MM 6.0.1 and experience bad battery life. I have done a factory reset 2 times and still losing approx 1.5% of battery per hour and only seeing the phone go into deep sleep approx 50% of the time according to better battery stats. Before the MM update when I was on lollipop I was seeing a battery loss of about .7% / hr and 90+% deep sleep time for similar usage.
I have disabled all of the bloatware I can (including facebook and flipboard) but still no luck. I am going to go back to 5.1.1 unless someone has any other ideas on what is eating through the battery life with MM.
My battery life has been awful also after the MM update. In fact, it has been terrible ever since Kitkat. I have tried different batteries and hard resets, nothing helps. I am going to try another hard reset because Bluetooth is draining my battery like crazy even though I am not even using it (#1 drain right now). The software for the note 4 has been such a huge disappointment!
great b life, i dont use bluetooth...i really like this update
do you use Package disabler ? i have probably 12 apps disabled..helps a great deal
I do use package disabler and had many more that 12 packages disabled but even with BT off I was seeing a 1.5+% drop/hr. I have now gone back to 5.1.1 to test it out for a few days and verify that battery life is back to normal on it.

can anyone tell me if the marshmallow update gives us android users? i know users are not available in 5.1.1 but was hoping it would be in marshmallow.
I've been getting great battery life on MM but I'm running an S7 port on my Note 4. I'm currently at 1d20h with 6% battery left.
Battery life is usually not too good after a factory reset. Give it a couple two or three days and then re-evaluate.
I've been on the Jasmine ROM for about a day and for me, battery life isn't that much worse than it was when I was on 5.1.1.
Also keep in mind the age of a given battery. Like a new car, as soon as you roll it off the showroom floor it begins losing value.... LiOn batteries have a limited number of charge cycles, and after the first handful, you can pretty quickly see faster discharge times. This is accelerated with heat, which tends to happen when you install a new ROM, because you're hitting the screen and processor pretty hard for long periods of time. Also, avoid charging the battery while the phone is hot, that will also accelerate the wear on the battery.
This is one of the reasons the Note 4 is still a great phone today: removable battery! Get yourself a replacement or two, they're cheap and it's always good to have a spare on hand.

I did give MM several days to settle in after a factory reset but still no better battery life. I do not that if you are on JasmineRom that you must have rooted the MM version to install it. I am considering doing the same but was concerned that I would not see any better battery life with it either.
Every since the update my battery seems to lose a percent every 5-10 minutes the screen is on.
What gives?? Tried a fresh install and everything.

54% in the last 3 hours. This is noticeably different.
Have you looked into whats draining it? i.e. under battery settings or using better battery stats?

Nothing specific. Just screen for the most part and a little bit of chrome. I deleted messenger, and Facebook. Everytime I turn my screen on...By the time I go to turn it off after whatever activity I notice a percent loss.
My battery life has never been what I would call "good", but after the update it has been even worse. Wifi and location off, no facebook at all and screen at auto brightness. The battery seems to lose about 10% an hour and I'm lucky if I get to see 3 hours of screen on time.
I'm getting roughly 0.6% an hour when idle with 10j
T-Mobile. Best ever was 8h SOT with a few percent left in 10d. I am on 10j now rooted. Battery life seems worse but really it's not. Used to get about an hour screen before drops to 99% but now about 20mins. Just seems to measure battery better. This rundown so far was at work in downtown and I was on 41st floor most of the day. I am home now where my LTE is pegged full blast and I could probably pull down at least 5 more hours of this charge depending what I do.
I know it's not a solution in the sense its not solving whatever software is draining the battery but there are aftermarket battery packs for the v20 already that will make the phone last longer.
Zero Lemon specifically makes an excellent aftermarket battery pack if you don't mind the bulk.
I am waiting for a middle man battery pack that's larger than the factory battery but not as massive as the zerolemon.

Guys please post you battery life and brenchmerks on nougut and marshmallow so that we can decide which one is better. Some people experiencing poor battery life in nougut. Share screenshot of battery stat and gsm battery monitor and other battery monitoring app. And sorry for bad english.
My rom is stock nougut. Cell standby 2 percent. Phone idle 3 percent. Screen 14 percent.
Screenshot is bellow.
No screenshot on my side but for me the Nougat update has revived the phone: much better battery life (+1h SOT I would say), run cooler, less stutters, smooth scrolling in chrome, fast wifi connection and all the nougat advantages. I haven't seen bugs apart from the system UI tuner that resets itself.
I am running 100% stock, took the OTA when it was offered to me and made a factory reset.

I'll try to remember next week, I switch back to my S7 for the weekend.
Getting almost 4 hours of SOT on my 8 months old device.
My device is 14 months old and I use dual sim cards, mostly I'm on WiFi.
I get 1.5-3 hours of SOT generally. I generally have to charge my phone 3 times a day.
Stock nougat
Only using WiFi
Mostly browsing and videos on YouTube.
Getting 4 to 4.5 hours of sot.
I manage to have 5 hours SoT with android stock funcionalitys only. I am doing test but i maybe i will create a teadh latter to explain how to get more SoT.

I have 2hr SOT. VERY POOR. NEED TO CHARGE 3 TIMES A DAY
Here are my screenshots. I was mostly on WiFi during the day, did a lot of reading/browsing, a little YouTube, and gamed for around 30 minutes. Before I would have needed to recharge mid-afternoon and was getting 2:30/3h max SOT a day.
I'm extremely pleased with the update.
After doing a heavy tweaking of the phone without root i managed to get more than 5 hour of SoT. After that i was getting an unaceptable 3hs SoT.

Getting about 15-20 minutes of additional SOT after nougat update
Hey guys.
So I noticed everyone here and anywhere else basically, complaining about the battery life on this phone after the MIUI 11 update so I used the debloater directly after getting the phone to have the best battery life possible.
Turned off all the suggested apps and services and I gotta say battery improved, but it wasn't what was promised by the phone's specs. I'm barely getting 4h SoT, without any heavy usage whatsoever, only social stuff.
The culprit for me as well has been the Android System, with over 40% drain every day. So I installed Accubatery to try and see what's happening with my battery, along with better battery stats.
What I found useful from the accubattery app is the permanent notification where it tells you, after a few seconds, how much mA will be drained in an hour of using the phone like the way you are using it at that moment. So I did a test. Had my phone on the home screen, doing nothing. After a few seconds the reading showed -180mA, which is awesome right? Then I locked my phone and left it at the always-on display for a minute or so. Unlocked it and the notification showed -980mA.
This is very VERY weird and I cannot find anything anywhere suggesting what anyone can do to combat this. I have more average battery drain when the screen is off than when the screen is on.
I have never reset my phone (and would like that to stay that way if possible) and the phone itself is a month old. It's really saddening to see other people are getting twice as much SoT.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

I was on Miui 11 for a few weeks and had ~8h SOT with AOD enabled all the time. Now I am on Pixel Experience and I have ~7.5h SOT without AOD so I am very satisfied with the battery life.
I advise you to wait for Miui 12, which will come very soon to the Mi 9T. Then everything will probably change again with the battery life...
