Battery life using Bluetooth - Nexus 7 General

I want to get a Zero Sleep Manager device that connects all night to your Android via bluetooth. Would a full charge on the Nexus 7 last all night with constant bluetooth on?
Thanks,
Jon

If you're asleep, why not leave the Nexus 7 plugged in?
Anywho, as for the question, the Nexus 7 probably uses a few percent an hour if awake with the screen off, Bluetooth would add about nothing to that, so assume 16% give or take.

[Q] Battery Drn

I bought a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus on Friday and spent the weekend adding movies, music, etc..So far, I love the device.
Last night I set it on my desk with about 86% battery left but did not plug it in and did not turn it off. I simply let it sleep...
When I got up this AM, it was unresponsive as the batter had completely drained. I have no way of knowing why this happened since the device went off completelya nd any programs I may have left running were no longer running of course.
Is this normal for an unusde device overnight? Anyone else experience this? Should I return it?
Thank You!

I suppose you also let the WiFi and BT run also ? If yes, then it's absolutely normal If no, you should check what apps you had running in the background... and as a golden rule : use the night to recharge and the day to use it.
Yes thanks. I did leave WiFi on but no BT. I typically do charge my devices overnight but just forgot last night so the batter drain was a little worrisome. I will try it again tonight without WiFi on and see if that makes a difference. Thank You!

You're welcome.. for the record : my Tab only drains 1 or max 2 % overnight, WiFi, sync etc disabled of course
Cheers
You are spot on my friend...I left it on my desk last night with 87% battery and when I woke up this AM it was at 86%. I feel much better now.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Not the slightest idea What apps are you running ? What is running in the background ? Basically, I've never heard about ABD having a battery issue, unless your battery is damaged somehow. Maybe you should try a battery-widget to check the system on battery-hogs and/or uninstall everything the reinstalling one by one testing battery lifetime.
Cheers
Hi,
my left my P6200 to charge like 5 hours but it still won't reach 100% full. its only close to 85%. I start charging it around 20%.
Device is off when charging.
any idea how long does it takes to fully charge it?
and another thing is the area around the Sim card and Memory card slots area heats up at the back cover quite easily when use.
anyone experience these?

Wipe battery-stats ?

[Q] Is my battery broken?

Hey I have just bought HTC One 2 days ago. Compared to my old Sensation XE battery life completly sucks. I usually use phone without battery saver, on auto brightness and with Wi-Fi/3g turned on only on demand. Today 8 hours after unplugging phone from the charger I only have 26%. Screen was turned on for 2 hours and 45 minutes only and Wi-Fi worked for 3 hours and 46 mins. I might also say that I did not charge my One before usage to 100% as HTC advised. Was that very crucial? Do you think that phone might be broken or I should just give him time to settle baterry better.
That's sounds like what I get. I turn off mobile data when using WiFi and vice versa. I always use power saver unless I'm 3D gaming. Which is only on the weekends.
I've had mine for 3 months now.
I've seen people get 7:00 screen time on stock unrooted.
I think my battery's broken too. I can barely reach 3 hours of screen time. With 2 hours I get like 11 maybe 12 hours of on time. Something's wrong with our phones...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone see a problem with my battery I have been on wifi the whole time with brightness at 20%.I never had this bad of a drain before and all I did was look at facebook for maybe 5 minutes.I also closed the app after I was done using it.

Your battery stats seem on par with me and the OP. Seems that only a select few phones get decent battery life.
My kernel (android os) has been in the 25-35% range,it has never been that high before.
battery life lousy
I get pretty horrible drain too. I charged it to nearly full around 7:30 last night. I took about 2 minutes of video, sent one text, and checked my email 3 times. After that I went to sleep and the phone sat idle. At 6:30 this morning, I'm down to 9%.

Wow, that's real bad.. When my phone is off during night maybe 7% is gone. Then again I'm rooted and use greenify aswell as battery doctor if that has any affect.
On screen time seems like my battery drains pretty fast too though. After 2 hours of music and surfing and watching videos I guess atleast 40% would be gone.
My battery life became horrible, too. My phones loses 4% per unused hour. No App seems to be responsible for that drain. Flightmode or powersaving mode ain't making a difference. I hope we'll find a solution for our drain.

@Racingmatt your power management services is on for quite a bit. do you have alarms.? i would bet that you either that maps location enabled or something of the sort. cause you also have NLPcollector on for around 40 minutes which is a bit much. also i would turn off GPS if your not actively using it.
@Rachorid how are you setting up your wifi? is it set to always be on? or set to turn off when screen off? you have alot of wifi wake. might be due to that. i know when i'm at home my wifi actively pings all devices connected which will force wake up my phone. yea its a bit annoying but i live with it. otherwise i just keep my phone plugged in.
if you both can get some SS of alarms i can give you a better idea. and when you SS the alarms make sure to click on the ones with the most wake lock so i can see the secondary screen that shows what the actual wakelock command is happening.

Here are the latest stats. As you can see many Google wakes.. removing Maps/Now/GMail/turning of Location (a few days ago) had no impact on my drain. The 2nd app on Partial Wakelocks was used actively.
I also disabled Wifi for about 2 hours.. no impact, too. Flightmode also had no impact (a few days ago).

The reason I didnt give you a alarm ss is because I didn't have any alarms when I went to the alarms section. I also had all locations services including GPS enabled but I just now disabled GPS but left network location enabled I'll give you a screenshot later so you can see the differences
I know exactly how you feel that's what happened to me,u was expecting so much from the battery and it turned out to be the worst..give ya some advice...3g drains the **** out of the battery ,so always jeep it off and turn it on only when you wanna use it...that way the battery will be acceptable... Also flashing a custom Rom would help...o recommend arhd

I had awesome battery life a month ago with Wifi always on, auto. brightness and every app on hourly sync. (I have my phone since 7th of march) Sometimes I didn't lost a percent over night (8 hours) and I just don't know what it could be because I didn't install another app and no app seems to be responsible for that stanby drain. My on-screen battery life is still good. It also doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I'm using.
Here is my latest stats after 12 hours with 5 minutes of GPS use (turned off when not using)and network location on all the time with 3g/4g on all the time(turns off after a period of inactivity) . I can't give you a alarm stat because I'm not rooted.
Lithium-Ion batteries used in today's smartphones need atleast 10 cycles to show optimum power
so hold on until 2 weeks then you will get the full performance
i get 2 days of battery on my HTC One (since i dont have internet on my Simcard)
its 2G connection and auto Brightness and switched bloatwares off
i use Android Revolution HD 12.2

with normal use 3.6%/h is pretty reasonable. how much screen on time was that including?

Daydream on Charging can cause wakelocks

I have realised (at least for me) that using Daydream whilst AC Charging is causing a wakelock on the phone after you remove from charge (no deep sleep at all aka 100% awake time).
My phone is pure stock at the moment, no root or any modifications.
I am not sure on the exact triggers, my wakelock seemed to activate when my alarm goes off in the morning causing my screen to turn to daydream mode, I then pick the phone up on the second alarm and unplug before turning the screen off, then the phone fails to enter deep sleep until you reboot.
Others appear to be having the same issues.
For now I have disabled Daydream on charging and I hope this stops the wakelock issue, but as to why it is happening at all I am not sure, the lack of battery stats on KitKat at the moment is fairly irritating.
Anyone else having 100% awake issues? and if so do you use daydream or alarms whilst charging? If so please let us know, and try to disable daydream whilst charging to see if that helps.
(FYI I am using CPU Spy to determine the exact time spent in "deep sleep", but you can get a general idea of how much awake time you have in the general android battery section of settings.)

Thank you for your post. I hav those issues too and was just starting to look into it. I too am using daydream on charge and seen a wakelock yesterday, that i could get rid off by rebooting. I then recharged to get through the rest of the day and the lock came back. And this morning: exact same thing again. I disabled Daydream alltogether and see if it really is the culprit on my system.
Edit: i don't use alarms on that phone at all.

This morning I had finished my first full charge since disabling daydream and my wake-lock issues appear to have gone (hopefully for good!).

First Full Charge after disabling Daydreams: 3h of the charger and AndroidOS kept my phone awake for 1,5h. So it seems that it was not daydream on my device
Just the same as wireless charging causing random wakelocks after you take it off charge, never got fixed on the N4 and the problem seems to have carried on with the N5. Problem is you sometimes don't realise until you have little or no battery left!

Has anyone found any wake lock app that works? I have no clue what's going on because the stock battery info shows my phone sleeping but the drain means there's a wake lock but no way to know what.

no not yet, they don't like 4.4 /nexus 5 do they. I just know something was up as I put it on the wireless charging pad over night and by lunch time I was at 60% with little usage. I recharged and rebooted and then it was back to normal. Seen it all before with the N4.

Battery life while bluetooth tethered!?

Hi guys.
Just wondering - how long are you supposed to get while the watch is tethered to your phone?
Mine is on nulrom v20 - which is great!
When tethered to my note3 - for notifications (email, phone etc) the battery lasts about 5 hours at the very most.
Is this right?
If so - not too impressed really - pretty pointless if the battery wont last a whole working day......
Let me know guys?

How about using tethering when you need it ? Why do you need tethering on your gear constantly anyway ? Of coarse your going to get bad battery life..
I get over 8 hours which lasts me a full day of work. Are you using any CPU management program like setcpu?

Yep. Whats your cpu settings. Got mine ondemand and 400-1600.
Maybe 200-1200 better?

I'm getting amazing battery life BT tethered with Null 20 as long as I leave the wrist motion turn-on disabled (with that on mine also dies in 5 hours)
I had mine tethered for 12 hours today (I don't need to, but I was just trying it out syncing gmail etc.), and still had 86% left on the battery readout.

I've used tethering since it was available. It hardly had any impact on the watch. My phone battery on the other hand got smashed

If you are connected just to receive your notification, as a standard gear would, then your battery should last over a day. You probably need to adjust your voltage settings to solve this. I have mine set to max 500Mhz. Then it seems to last like a stock gear.
If you are connected and using Bluetooth tether, which will give you access to browsing, playstore ect on the gear, then your battery will not last at all. Then your gear and phone should theoretically suffer.
How are people retethering? I've just been leaving mine on and can usually go about 2 days with the watch and daily on the phone. I like the idea of periodic tethering, but not sure how to set it up. Going into the settings and turning it on and off each time seems a bit painful?

this really isnt true. my Gear running null_22.1 with CPU set at Max 900 and Min 300 goes days not a day but days while connected to BT Tether the whole time.
here is a snapshot of my battery usage while being on BT tether the whole time.
Ok so with null_22.1 I have set the voltage at 200 min and 600 max. It's been bluetooth tethered for nearly 6 hours. Been getting email and text notifications since then and battery is on 71% The watch has actually been on since 7am this morning. Just not bluetooth tethered til 9:50. Am much happier with these results! Only problem is its zapping my note 3 battery!! Oh well. Cant have everything!

Tethering all day is a nice luxury, but it's not really required. The gear can be set up to notify you of messages from any app. If you see a notification that's worth addressing, just flip on the client side tethering. Use the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle". It's a single button click on the Gear to enable or disable tethering. On the note side, leave bluetooth tethering on at all times. It will not use any extra battery. Battery is only consumed when the client is actively connected.

That is what I use also, that widget works super.
I find I can easily get a full days use with battery to spare with BT tethering all day however.

Couple issues here for me.
Bluetooth Tethering Toggle (widget)? correct? It doesn't indicate whether Tethering is on or off when I press it or am I missing something or possibly have the wrong app?
With Bluetooth tethering engaged on my gear, I drain rapidly at about a clip of 2% a minute battery :silly:

Unless you have the icon hidden like I do with NotifyClean, you should have an icon in the left side of your phone taskbar that comes on when BT tethering.(plus the widget should have a green ring around it)
the main purpose of the Gear is to notify you of any notifications you may have. Why disable tethering??

notifications come via BT standard setup. tethering comes in to play when you want more standalone phone like functions. with no tether you get email, fb, etc.. basically a notification from any app you choose on Gear. with tether added you can actually check email, post fb, use browser, all full internet type activities
Thanks mate, didn't know that small detail!

Bluetooth sucking battery?

I just got this watch and updated it. On the first day of real-world use, it sucked up around 10% an hour. At first I thought that this was normal, but when I looked at the battery stats Bluetooth had used 80 to 90 percent, while the others only used 1%. Are there any tips or way I can help with this? I did update to the beta version (the one with Android o as the base and not n) so if that's the issue I'm fine with that, it does make it to around 4 pm and I wake up at 6-7. This is a very good watch though. I had tilt to wake, aod, Bluetooth and wifi although wifi didn't appear to use much. Cellular is disabled because I don't have a plan for it.
I also just got this watch, and was concerned about the rapid battery usage. However it is now much better. This could be for 2 reasons, or one or the other. The first is that the initial pairing causes a lot of activity over Bluetooth while the watch updates and syncs all apps and may have just settled down. The other, and from advice on this forum, was that I disabled cloud sync (not that easy to find, go into Android Wear app on phone then Settings, then Privacy and Personal Data). Since then the battery life has improved vastly. Hope that helps.

At least you get something other than Bluetooth. I'm on the beta as well as now I get nothing but Bluetooth listed. I had major drain and thought it might be because I tried sideloading apps via Bluetooth. Whatever it was I couldn't figure it out. Factory reset and I'm back to normal

Yea today I woke up at the same time and before, at 3 I would be charging it from 5%. Today, it's 6 and it's at 33. I did disable cloud sync and a weather complication. I also disabled NFC. Other than that I dont remember changing anything else.

I started a thread in the questions section for battery consumption, which still shows on the first page. The biggest consumers of the battery I've found are the Bluetooth/wifi radios and Tilt to Wake Sensor. That TtW Sensor was sucking down about 4% of the battery just on its own. The best configuration I've found is no wifi, no TtW sensor, no bluetooth, using LTE combined with AT&T NumberSync, from which I get approximately 24 hours. If you want to see other configurations that have been tried and reported, you can check out the other thread.

I've had pretty decent battery life on my watch (depending on what it's doing in a day) but today the thing was dead in less than 7 hours and it shows it's all from Bluetooth. So, riddle me this....do I even need to be synced via Bluetooth when I have NumberSync? What are the advantages/disadvantages (besides battery drain) to leaving Bluetooth on and connected to my phone?

What are the advantages/disadvantages (besides battery drain) to leaving Bluetooth on and connected to my phone?

Sounds like something wasnt letting it sleep
Do what I do. Every 2-3 days do a restart of the watch just keeps things fresh.
Mine can easily last 2 days if stretch it. Normally I'm around 50% by the time I get home after 12 hours
Thanks for the advice! I'll start that routine tomorrow and see how it works out.
