Terrible Standby Battery Drain - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was super busy today so I barely looked at my phone so I was expecting my battery life to be in the high 80s but when I looked at it, it was at 31%... with only 28 minutes of screen on time...
By percentage the biggest drainers are Google+ (13%) - which I do not even use... -, Standby (10%) and Screen (6%).
I'm rooted on Pure Shamu with Elemental Kernel (for RGB control, no other mods with the kernel), if that matters. I can't think of anything I've enabled that would kill the battery so hard.

Sounds like a wakelock in either the ROM or kernel to me.

I'm having a similar issue with Lean Kernel.

Yeah, Google+ had almost 9 hours of wake time and 2 hours of CPU time. I have no idea why, I don't even use Google+ and I have location services and photo backups disabled.
I've completely deleted the Google+ profile though and I've disabled account syncing for everything other than Gmail. I'll see if that makes any change tomorrow.

Yup. Wakelock.
Fwiw G+ plays fine on my device and doesn't nuke the battery

Delete Google+ , I've had the same issue on a note 4 aswell.

if you're not using G+ why not disabled it.

How do you disable it, it is not listed as an app.

Or uninstall the app. No point in having the app installed but disabling it, it'll take more space.
This is why I prefer minimal gapps, Google includes so much bloat ware.
I also recommend using app ops to deny access for keep awake on play services. It'll help with standby battery significantly.

i found this foe google play services last night, so i disabled iys background data use. i dont remember being allowed to do that for google play services. which i also assume will keep it from waking the device when its sleeping(since data is not allowed).
anyways, to the op, do you have photos uploading to the cloud? if so, disable that service, thats what uses the g+ app when you dont use it.

No I had photo uploading disabled. But I disabled Google+ all together before I plugged it in for the night and I'm having much better results. I've only had about 9% of battery drain with mostly standby and some light browsing before I got out of bed this morning (I've been stuck at my computer all day so I haven't needed to use my phone much). Much, much better than the 70% drain I got yesterday from the same.
Since uninstalling isn't a default option in app setting for G+ I imagine I'd need to download something with super user access to do so? Any recommendations?

I am getting killed by the Google Play Services. It was fine till yesterday. Suddenly from today it starts drinking battery!

This is a cool phone. Google has released new software (lollipop). But it just really sucks that a phone with such a beautiful ui and really cool features is such a mess. And yes this os is a mess. Most of us are disabling features such as ambient display, google apps, location etc.. just to be able to last anywhere from half a day to a day. Really depends on how much a person has had their screen awake and how much is disabled to attempt to make it through a day. The battery is just not large enough for the 4k display. If everything were operating correctly I would feel like I'd spent my money as well as I ever had on a mobile device. What is the value of having a 2.7ghz processor if we have to under clock it? I'd like to use the speed of the processor but I slow it down also as I am fighting for battery life as much as I can. Today is the first time I've used battery saver and my experience is that it helps tremendously on my phone personally. But it also ruins many of the reasons I bought the phone. I like the animations of lollipop. I've always reduced animations to .5 through developer settings. I hope Google is seriously trying to iron this out. It's a big deal that all of us are fighting for battery life and Google apps gone wild are hurting many of us. As far as I can see my opinion is this os is a great concept but needs much work to be considered anywhere near as efficient as KitKat was. But the real question after all I've said is Have any of us that purchased a nexus phone never had to fight for battery life? We knew what we were getting into when we bought a nexus. Things will get better. I just wonder when and if this screen will ever be controllable with IMO such a small battery for such a large 4k display. Enjoy your nexus'. I am the best I can fighting for battery life.

Just to be clear, its not a 4k display and I'm averaging 4.5-5 hrs screen on time without disabling anything

4.2 battery life.

I think it's obvious there are some serious flaws with 4.2, everyone has made that evident. I just wanted to ask you guys what kind of battery life you all are getting out of your N7 with the new 4.2 update?
EDIT: Im not so much worried about the battery life regarding 4.2, just battery life in general. Ive got everything turned waaay down and am only getting roughly 20 hours with moderatly heavy use. What do you guys get?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Same as 4.1.2 I believe. I can't tell a difference.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I actually haven't had any issues as of yet. Been running it only a week. I did update all the apps right away, which a lot of people that had problems related them to the apps.
Haven't had one force close and battery life has been right on par with 4.1.2.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
So far mine has gotten better. I cant say for certain this is due to 4.2.1 however since I switched ROMS and Kernels to get it. But it certainly hasn't gotten worse!
Getting two days out of it which is perfectly fine with me. I get the same out of my Asus Transformer Infinity as well. Seems reasonable to me. What type of battery life were you expecting our need? Can't find a time to charge in a couple of days or something?
Ohh ive got the time. Was just curious as to what other users were getting. Guess i just expexted more battery life outta the N7. I usually get one solid day of use out of it, granted i do use the hell out of it and so does my girlfriend

I think that the batery life when you flash 4.2 is very badly.
I generally charge daily due to extremely heavy use, a few hours worth of gameplay while at work and use as my primary computer while at home. But I have went as much as 3 days with just light browsing here and there.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My battery life hasn't been that great when i was on 4.1.2 i lost like 1% over night now im losing like 15% even tho i just charge it up it seems thats its the Android os and google services thats killing the battery. I never had that much battery drain untill 4.2- 4.2.1
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've got to say mine's far improved... To be honest I've now set WIFI to off when in standby and screens always been down to 25%, so I'll get 2-3 days out of it with average use!
EVERYONES battery usage is going to vary... Wifi on during sleep with media syncing etc etc.... Is going to be much higher than me turning off wifi on sleep and not that much stuff running, etc...
My N7 is still at 100% if I take it off the charger at 9am and don't pick it up until 1-2 in the afternoon, which happens sometimes when I'm busy at work. There have been days that I didn't touch it all day at work and got home at 6pm and it's still at 100%.
In actual use (news, browsing, etc, not games) I see about 13-14% battery usage an hour, depends on the backlight. Games or movies, more like 16-17%.
And I've seen no obvious difference between 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.2.1, etc....
My battery life so far has been amazing.
I always make sure it is fully charged when I leave my home at 7am. I have syncing, wifi and gps always turned on. While traveling I watch videos most of the time (around 1 and a half hours video screen time in total). During the day while working I use my N7 for web browsing, social media, taking notes, agenda stuff, etc. Most of the time I'm home around 6pm. Then I have about 60-70% left. I'm using stock 4.2.1, no custom kernels, root or roms whatsoever right now. I could make 2 days with quite some heavy usage, which impresses me a lot.
Took a screenshot of the battery run time. This is what I'm getting with basic web surfing and watching YouTube.

Battery life has been good so far. I'm running a 3G Nexus 7, as said previously though it is all relative to what you're doing with your device.
12hrs of moderately heavy use for the OP, and he's complaining about batt life?
Isn't the batt on these things only rated for 10hrs anyways? Maybe I'm missing something here. Google states 10hrs for reading a book or browsing the web, and only 8hrs for 720p video.
OP - i'm sure your batt life went down, but you DO realize that you're already getting more than it's rated for, right? There's so many factors that go into determining batt life, that's it's impossible to give a realistic figure.
Who knows how many apps you have in background, your WiFi signal strength, brightness of display, etc.
My battery life had been crap since day one.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Light day today, off the charger at 9am, this screenshot taken at 6:10pm. Used for 30 minutes according to the screen on timer, about 20 minutes of that was doing something on a server in irssiconnectbot and the rest was probably "glance at the weather" or "next meeting" etc.
It was at 100% around 2pm ish when I was in a meeting using irssibot, it dropped 3 or so percent while I used it there. I've never noticed this, but if you look close under the graph, it appears to have an bar for device awake, although it's dark blue and thin.

Are you Serious?

really? i barely used the phone. everyone is turned off except wifi and i did not even use the the browser. this can't be real. only that much time and it's almost halfway dead and i barely used it. i know there have been battery threads before but man... how can it be this horrible. btw juice defender don't do crap, i've had it for the today and yesterday, was crap so i uninstalled. had brightness are low as i can without making me squint.

I've had relatively poor battery life as well... I went 12 hours with a recharge from 10 to 50% again before it completely drained...
I'm not impressed with the battery on this phone but everything else has been great.
... I'm starting to think I'll have to make my own Qi Charger for pant pockets... embed it in your pocket so whenever the phone is there it's charging. I'm seriously considering trying this to see if it's possible... if so, i'm doing it for sure. Or a carrying case with an extra battery and a Qi Charger... or a Qi charger dock for the car... you get the idea. Wireless charging shouldn't be the fix for poor battery life, but it definitely could help it.

Task managers mess around with Android's memory management and it is fairly well known that they usually end up draining more battery than they save. Try getting rid of it.
Also other people are reporting that the battery life gets better after a few days of using. Is yours really new? Im not sure how true that is btw.
Probably a combination of that task killer and a wake lock.

Install Franco's kernel. Battery life has been outstanding (1 Gmail account sync, 1 Exchange account sync, maybe 30 minutes of calls and 100+ texts a day; I have location services & Google Now enabled as well). I average 3+ hours screen on time and I normally end the day around 30% ...
I would stay away from task managers ... it's not that I know what's going on more than you or anyone else, but well established and respected kernel developers recommend against it. If these guys don't know then I honestly don't know who else does ...

Yep...20-30 minutes won't tell the tale. I'd also recommend Brightness Toggle widget...allows a few extra steps (16 total, IIRC) of brightness control over stock, to fine tune screen brightness, often another culprit.
Turn off location access!!

Terrible battery life

Ive had the note since a day before launch and i havent been able to get more than three hours screen time out of it on auto brightness and simply texting or web browsing. It also has a lot of performance issues i cant figure out. Like severe animation lag when sending a hangout message, or huge keyboard typing delays.
Ive factory reset several times, and there arent any wakelocls. Standby time is great actually.

Same I've tried root and xposed everything still not getting anything more then 2 hours on screen time. Even at home when I have perfect signal.
I've actually had good battery life with stock rom. But seems to have gone down a bit with custom rom a bit. Could be random

Simply saying you have a bad battery life without itentifying if you are rooted or not, without providing any information about your battery, without showing your wakelock is rather...not a good way to acquire help.
P.S simply rooting and installing xpose will not give you battery life

That's actually what i ended up doing. Too early to tell, but I'm at an hour screen time (mostly hangouts, web browsing, email) and at 72% battery. Hasn't seemed to help performance much. I have 5 pages of apps including all the stock stuff. I lost 10% battery listening to an audible book for an hour too which seems high.
My issue is charging via pc USB port. with stock rim it would charge fine full charge as normal and the same with note 3 I had custom rom and with stock no issue. But with custom rom same thing running same apps and only playing Google music on the background the battery doesn't charge as well as it did. Not sure if there is any tips out there about that but as mentioned the only difference is that this is a note 4 the others note 3 and even on this for stock rom battery charges well with USB pc output. This is normally at work while sitting down on my desk and connected to my pc. While listening to music on headphones.

Mine did the same, it actually lost more power than it could charge, it went away, I'm not sure what I did, but now it's just as good as my note 3
Thanks for the input I don't want to go back to stock since these roms are just to smooth running on skyfall now. I'll likely wait and test it out for a few more days. But mine currently does trickle charge but so slow. My worry is long trips. But overall battery life is good.

Yesterday I got 4 hours screen time with 10% left. Android OS taking up the vast amount of the battery. That is decent, but I was really expecting more in the 5-6 hour area, especially considering my light usage model. I dont play games, or watch videos on it.

Android system highest battery usage help me find the problem?

As the title states I'm having an issue which a lot of people have generally and some find fixes others don't, I've looked around tried a few things but none seems to solve the problem! Now I'm running the latest version of Rapture ultimate variant on 5.0.1, the first night after installing this rom I was at 100% didn't charge once throughout the whole day, screen was #1 on battery drainage, had a decent SOT of 6 hours and 30 minutes I believe that's good but you tell me [emoji14], anyways the following days it's been android system with an average of 24% it's really starting to annoy me as its brought down my screen time a bit here's some pics of my states an what's android system running, I have several things frozen as well that are listed why there listed idk but several are frozen! If you know of any fixes to solve android system from being such a high usage please let me know! Thanks!

Stock battery app doesn't provide enough information to solve the problem. Apps such as Wakelock Detector are needed to drill down to meaningful information. There are also lots of existing threads that provide great instructions on how to improve battery life.

Somewhere within this list one of them was causing android system to be high which one for I'm not sure of but try the list give it a good 2 days or so from 100% to 0% battery and if it worked then I'm glad if not unfortunately you should try some other things, also try wake lock detector(root required) as the other poster stated as well as better battery stats (cost money and requires root)

It's going absolutely great here's an example of how my battery had been since I did that list
as for ims service and the others that's for instant message service so if you text it would affect your texting an to my understanding would force crash whenever you try to text now I haven't disabled it but I'll go ahead an do that for you an let you know if I am still able to text people or not

Okay I disabled all the ims services as listed here
I sent several text they were a success I also tested Facebook messenger it was also a success as always I suggest making a nandroid but yes so far I have no force closes or anything now I just did it so I'll leave them frozen an report back in a few hours to let you know if I had any problems best of luck!

Question Galaxy App Booster Battery Drain

Hello everyone! I just reinstalled Galaxy App Booster after about a month of not using it and I noticed it had 16% battery usage since fully charged (see screenshot). Again, the app and Good Guardians were not installed since the beginning of February. Is this a bug? How can I permanently delete it? Did anyone else experience this? I'm really confused

You're looking at the total usage for Android Services not this app!
Simply uninstall it, it's part of Good Guardians.
Samsung actually improved it from 3 years ago. Now it works and runs fast...

I know it's improved, I use it about once a month and I love it! Does it really show the Android Services battery drain? I clicked on App info of Galaxy App Booster. Shouldn't it show this specific app's drain? I mean, the app wasn't installed for a month but maybe its services are still running in the background despite it being uninstalled, along with Good Guardians. Never came across this before, that's why I'm confused.
This how it shows on my N10+/Pie.
Obviously it hasn't used 22%, that's all that Android services has used. It's usage is incorporated into that figure. I doubt it drives baseline usage up much overall.
However I just started using it again 2 days ago so I'll keep an eye on my SOT figure in Accubattery history.

That's interesting. For me if I click battery it shows 3 options: Unrestricted, Optimized and Restricted. I put it on restricted for now to see any changes. Thanks a lot, had me confused for a little bit

What are you restricting, that app alone or Android Services? Restricting Android Services will likely cause issues. Optimized may be better but could still cause issues, even increase battery drain. See and observe...

On Android 13 you restrict the app (screenshot). I'm now trying with it restricted to see if anything changes. Will report back.

I think it runs in the background but at a minimum level, hopefully. It tracks app optimization. I would leave run unrestricted and see if it impacts overall SOT.

I tested it Restricted and it only drained 10%. It's really weird. I mean, it's practically impossible that this app drained 10% of battery since it's not used at all so it must be a bug or something, or maybe it's tied to to the Android System, as it is shown for you on Android 10. Beats me, I'm still confused

That's Android Services, the total consumption of all 20 or whatever services/apps. Mine reads 32% at this point because I haven't charged to 100% in a while. Pretty much normal.
