There will be 15% left on my phone, sometimes more and my Nexus 6P with Nexus Pure Rom keeps ****ting down as of its dead of battery. Is there a solution or way to make the battery actually last until its at 0%?

There is no solution. Even replacing battery is no guarantee as nearly all aftermarket replacement batteries lack proper features. Buying the best one available, chances are you'll receive a counterfit.
Best option: open chat with Google thru settings/support. Explain you're having shut down issues. They will exchange your 6p for a pixel XL.

Really? Even of my Nexus-6p is rooted with a custom ROM and I didn't buy it through the Google Play Store? I bought from a friend and I don't have a receipt. They still will do that? Also I don't have a support option in my Google settings on my phone.

Don't know about that. If friend purchased through play store you may have a shot by giving your IMEI #. Worth trying. If they ok RMA simply return phone to stock when you return it. You may be sol. If so your best option is to find a Real Cameron Sino replacement battery.

Try to use some battery calibration apps to calibrate your battery after flashing a new rom. I have tried this, it gives me a nearly zero shutdown now. But sometimes i need to calibrate two times to have this good status

I use two combinations, the first one is "Repair battery Life" and the second is "Battery calibration".
My procedure is：
1）Use the first app to give a scan of battery status and it will repair automatically if it find some error.
2) Use the second app to calibrate the status (probably let the system know the new status and give the right percentage)
Maybe the above method is not scientific, but it works for me.

You didn't buy it from Google they are not going to do anything for you.
Your best option is contact huawei and see if it's under warranty for an RMA, if it's old you might have to pay them to replace the battery

Tried that and it has seemed to make the battery last longer and not shut down pretty maturely. Thanks. I hope it lasts for a while.
Go on eBay or Amazon and do a search for Cameron sino battery for the nexus 6p. I got one for 25.00 last week. It's working like a champ. It doesn't take a tremendous amount of skill to do if your somewhat technically inclined. A desk lamp, and a heat gun. And some Patience. Getting the glass off from around the camera is the hardest part but a little heat and it comes off. There are several videos. But anyway these are really great phones for the money. I would gladly replace my battery again to keep using this phone. Love it

My battery in the past few days has gone to ****. The same thing happened to a friend of mine's S3. I can be at 60%, then go to use the cam or send somebody a pic and the phone shuts off. It use to last all day. GPS is off no new software and friend had it start happening at the exact same time.
Buy a new battery, get your friend one to.

It will be good to know what kind of rom are you running and/or any other important spec, so you get a better answer than the one above.

I have to agree with Mr. Clown. If you want help you need to leave more information. It could be a software issue that is know and quickly solved. Does your friend have the same carrier? You may find that the phone is in between two masts and constantly changing from one to another.
Hope you resolve the issue.

To drop from 60% to zero is very unusual, normally because the battery no longer holds it's charge. If you give minimal information then you can only get minimal help...

Out of curiosity, how much does she want? I can easily get a 7am-midnight day, with plenty left over, and I'm pretty much running stock + franco.Kernel, auto brightness on.

She wants all day , unlimited like she had on her t989 with a laza extended battery . She won't let me root it so no Franco kernel.
I've been using several different 7.1.2 roms and battery life has been atrocious. I use wingoku 4.1.
I pair my smart watch to it but even when I use wifi (no bt) its bad, draining quickly, last checked about 22% per hr. Even with screen off listening to podcasts it still will drop a lot more than it used to.
I really don't have much in terms of stats. Honestly I don't obsess much about it normally but now its noticable.
Aside from suggesting another rom & kernel, would I benefit from formatting data and starting over?

Install accubattery and run it though a few charge cycles, it will be able to tell you the life left in your battery, it's possible that you have the same issue many of us have had with a degradation of the battery.

Yea. Thats my biggest fear. Ive replaced small parts before but my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be so Im afraid I might mess it up. Plus I'll need to buy a heat gun.
I'll be more than a little pissed if the battery's shot. This phone is barely 14 months old. Either give us a decent battery or make it replaceable.
Thanks for the info btw. I just installed the app.
Update--Im switching things up a bit. Recently I made some changes and this time I flashed a new rom without some of those changes.
1. I had switched from Action 3 to Nova
*HIGHLY doubt nova is eating up my battery so Im still using it BUT I did remove a widget that has weather. Since I keep phone on device only location, I think theres a chance its always trying to find my locale and consuming battery.
2. I didn't add a gov profile yet.
3. This is the first time in about 4 or 5 rom flashes I didnt flash CTT Mod.
* Again I doubt this is causing battery issues but Im gonna hold off flashing it. No throttling thus far.
As suggested Ill be monitoring with accubattery for a few cycles. But been using my phone about 90 mins this morning (at least 90% of that time actively using with screen on) and I've lost 13%--a huge improvement from yesterday.

Accubattery for the proof. New battery for the fix. You could always buy online and have it installed locally. Read up on where to score a good replacement battery, rather than another dud.

Its not really giving me much info yet. Because of my schedule throughout the day Ive charged periodically so I have enough juice in case I need it. Do I need to let it run lower to get an accurate reading?

Best to let it run below 20% at least and then fully charge until the APP tells you the battery is full- not your phone. Don't unplug until Accubattery says it is full. What you will observe is that the phone will continue to charge for 45 minutes to an hour past when the phone itself is reporting 100%. You will find the estimated capacity under the Health tab. Once or twice below 20% is enough to get a close approximation. After that it will move a couple percent max. You will know soon enough.

Well it turns out my battery is in need of replacing.
I let it run down like you said. I was going to go further down but once it hit 20% my phone turned off. I plugged it in, opened accubattery and it said 46% under health.
But I just checked again after charging to 100% and it now says 63% (2182 mAh total capacity).
I checked my imei on the Huawei site and my phone is 3 days out of warranty. Im hoping to get them to fix it.

Well sorry to hear that. Good luck to you on the RMA route. If not, the Cameron Sino brand replacement is a bit more expensive but includes a working battery temperature sensor. It will make your phone like new. Note in the thread I referenced above, some parts may get scratched/cracked depending on the skill of the repair person. They aren't expensive so it you are intending to keep the 6P for a while longer, it may be worth it to buy those just in case.

Thanks for the support! I checked that thread and didn't see specific parts (inexpensive ones you referenced) If they're listed Ill look again. It doesn't seem too daunting. I was able to replace the screen on my son's WiU controller. Those were very tiny parts and YES--I did snap off a clip, however I was able to fudge it and it's still working about a year later.
Far as RMA, does anyone know if they replace it with the same crappy stock battery? From my perspective this seems like a clear case where a recall is in order.
But if its the same battery, Im just setting myself up for the same problems 8 to 12 months from now. Even if I buy a new phone Id still want to sell this one and thats not as easy with a crap battery. Plus theyd have my phone for x days so Id need to find a temp phone in the meantime.
Don't mean to jabber on...this sucks.
Oh yeah...cuz it was after hours I sent an email to support last night. Do you think Ill get a response? Or should I just call when I have time to be on hold?
Spoke to a clone at Huawei then asked to speak to the clone's supervisor (wasn't sure if clones had supervisors--they do. But the programming is identical.) Long frustrating phone call and they aren't going to replace my battery because its out of warranty...by 4 f#@&ing days!
I told them they lost a customer for life and I was being 100% sincere. How could I ever buy from people who thinks it ok to sell defective crap, know about it, then do nothing to make things right?
I'm gonna replace the battery on my own. Whether things go good or terrible, one thing is certain--itll be the last time I ever replace anything on any product made by Huawei.
I've noticed that my phone now dies at 15-14% and when I turn it back on it turns it's self back off again as if the battery is completely dead, when I tried to boot into TWRP I found that it's reading the battery at 2% but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not.
Question is would a battery re-calibration fix this problem? If not what should I do?
Regarding the battery re-calibration what tool/method is best?
Well all this stuff about battery calibration is placebo and you will find that on many places. This is problem with Nexus 6P users. Even I'm also having same issue, shutting down exactly at 5%, I did try battery calibration tool but nothing worked. All these tools do is removing batterystats.bin ( or something similar) from the system and then say that battery is calibrated. This is just bull#*@$. You need to replace you battery and that also from the OEM, because in the market there are many fake available that don't work 100% with the device especially the temperature sensor, which is must required in case of quick charge.

If you purchased your phone from Google, you can try and get a replacement. I am having same battery issues. Even though my warranty ran out in 12/16, I figured I would try Google and see what they offer. Good thing I did, I am getting a free replacement.
What did you ask them?

I used Google Play website to ask for a call back about my issue. When they called I explained that my phone was not holding a charge, that once it got under 50% the phone would just drain and shut off. The tech on the phone said he was going to speak to a supervisor and would call back. About two hours after that, he called back and said even though my phone was > 6 months out of warranty, they were going to replace it free (Warranty ran out in December 2016, I called in August 2017.)
My note 4 shuts down before the battery percentage reaches 0. How can i fix this? Im using a debloated stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-n910tuvu1anj7-4-4-4-deodexed-ciq-t2915737).

I'd suggest NOT getting an original battery, since there's so many counterfeits out there, unless you're directly buying from Samsung. Get a reliable 3rd party battery on Amazon with at least 18month+ warranty. It's very likely the 'new' battery you have is a counterfeit, or refurbished. I gaurantee it will be fixed with a GOOD battery. Get a refund if it still behaves that way. Cheers :highfive:
