Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Mine is at 9%.

how did you pull that off?!

first battery cycle with m, it was high, and my phone never slept. second battery cycle, and it only reached 1% battery drain, and I had 4+ hours sot at 61% battery. btw, I'm using the permissions option, and am not allowing location for any of my apps that dont need it. also, I disabled background data for google play services.

Battery drains in less than 2min from 14 percent

Random issue...
As soon as my handset reaches 14% (first low battery warning) the battery will die literally within 2 minutes...
I have watched the % drop like a rock...
Running uk ee .290 unrooted
I've run a battery health test and it comes back as good and doesn't need changing?!

charge it upto 100%
let it die (turn off when it hits 0%)
charge it again fully
and let it die again
this should force calibration
Xperia devices automatically my calibrate the battery, sometimes the kernel bugs and doesn't calibrate right
in realy rare cases you get a battery that says 100% but is realy actualy around 20% or less

check to see any apps is running in the setting, most likely should be Google related apps, such as Google+
My Z1 seems to lose the first 10% of a full 100% charge in about 1 hour with little to no use but after that its perfectly fine.
Battery life in general is very good. first phone ive had in about 6 years which can last me 48 hours without charge
EE UK as well
Sounds like a rogue app, remove anything you don't need, avoid adverts in apps, always do a full wipe when flashing a new rom regardless of base, get better battery stats and track down the rogue app, probably a wakelock.
Use greenify to shut apps up, autostarts is decent too.
Having a tonne of accounts on your phone and apps like viber and skype always logged in will munch the battery.
Switch off wireless controls when not in use and lower your brightness down to around half.
A few power cycles of the battery might help too, also don't overcharge, ever
reboot phone then open the service menu (*#*#service#*#*)
Service tests>Battery Health Test
Normal healthy capacity is 3,141,000

Just when I thought I fixed the battery drain...

Installed Play services 5 when it came out and that help substantially. Now I have Google Services eating 91% of my battery. Seems to get worse the lower my battery goes the faster it goes.
CPU Total 5h 1 min
Keep awake 4h 44m
Roughly 150KB of data used.
Battery at 67%. Abnormally little use today. My best so far has been 15h up time at 70% battery.
Includes:
Google contacts sync
Services Framework
Backup Transport
Account Manager
Play Services
Unchecked everything in the google account sync options. Shall see if it helps.
Any suggestions on this?
Turn off your location settings.
Sucks if you use your GPS or google now a lot, but it seems to be the only way to keep your battery at an acceptable level.

Never use my location for more than checking the weather. Ill give it a go.

Battery Problem [Google Services] [beanstalk rom]

Hey everybody, I just downloaded beanstalk rom a few days ago and it is awesome, the only problem I have os Google Services draining 10~20% of my battery, i tried everything on this forum also the GServicesfix app on the market, turned off the location and the sync, no difference. But I guess the problem is not only with Google Services as my battery drains pretty much fast I have to charge mu phone twice a day, Googe Services do drain battery but it is not the only reason, however, it is the only thing with abnormal battery use in power options. ps: I didn't have the google services problem at stock rom but the battery also drained fast.
Any help???? I have 2 problems, Google Services abnormal battery usage and battery drainage disregarding the google services consumption.

Example for battery drainage:
The battery drains about 20% while I sleep at night with absolutely nothing running except WiFi. 20% in about 8 hours.

[Q] Google App is using the most battery

Hi,
The google app is using the most battery on my phone... why is this??
Sometimes it does it to me also. Usually it's because something makes it use gps for hours. See if your gps is used when you tap the battery graph.
Rebooting usually fixes it for me.
So I just disabled the Google App nd the drain has stopped...
Shouldn't have had to disable it tho...but I don't know why it was draining so bad

Same problem here. I don't know what's causing it but it makes the phone hot and drains battery.
Google App!!!
how did you disable the google app? what exactly was disabled? location? Google Now? Google Plus?
I'm seeing the same thing. I unplugged my fully charged phone and went to bed (i.e. idle). Checked the phone in the morning and had burned through 33% of my battery in just under 11 hours with "google App" accounting for 83% of the battery usage.

15% drain overnight

Charged my phone and overnight night I got a 15% drain. I feel like that is a pretty high drain. 2% every hour at idle. Awake time shows about the same time i was sleeping. Any suggestions?

I turned of Enhanced LTE (Voice over LTE) under network settings. From around 11pm to 7am I went from 100% to 97%. Give that a try. It was reported that Cell Stand-By was bugging and draining battery.
Will give it a try! Thanks!

This did not work for me but I might be seeing a different issue. The one I'm experiencing and have read elsewhere is the Cell Standby drain. Enhanced LTE is disabled yet I'm still getting this constant drain. I've even done the other suggestions: clear cache from recovery, factory reset, calibrate the battery. This was all fairly random too; there were times when Cell Standby would not show up at all and my battery drain would be normal. Wasn't there an issue on Android 5.0.x with battery drain which is why they pushed out 5.1 so quickly?

Yesterday, my cell standby was 1st on the battery usage listing. No issues with it today. Only thing I think I did was disable the enhanced LTE. Haven't even restarted.
The samsung push app update was suppose to improve battery consumption not sure if it will but fingers are crossed.

I was hoping the same thing but apparently, for me, it is not. What's odd is that I'm still averaging about 6h sot with normal use. I don't consider 6h sot bad at all so maybe this is just "normal" now?
My secret is to disable LTE and WiFi if I'm not using the phone,and only use WiFi if Im on lunch or break from work.it sucks but my battery life is now awesome.try it out

Try to also delete the cache from the recovery boot menu (PWR+ VOLUME UP+ HOME BUTTON). That with the enhanced LTE turned off worked for me.
it's just the settings and the apps processed.
