hi everyone, my droid turbo drains battery on stand by stated as "cell standby". this problem was on lollipop and after the update it is still almost same. it drains like 10-13% overnight. any solutions pleas?
Having the exact problem on lollipop, haven't upgraded yet cause I plan to unlock bootloader sometime. Even my Moto X 2014 used to give me more battery life, though it had a tiny 2300mAh battery. I was thinking maybe I had a bad battery but now I don't seem to be the only one having this trouble. Maybe you should try Greenify & Amplify. There are also some pretty good Battery Saving mods available on XDA, go give them a shot.
Unlock bootloader, root, install stock-based, debloated, tweaked ROM:
Computerfreek274_MM_1.0.4 Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock rooted VOLte Debloated

@Computerfreak, thanks for such an excellently crafted ROM!
The battery performance is truly fantastic as is the audio quality.
FYI, I installed the stock ROM and thought that I had done something wrong when the battery drain was so high. @ChazzMatt suggested/recommended giving your version a go and I went with his suggestion. I am beyond glad that I did!
The battery drain went from me being able to watch it drop each minute to it not moving a single degree in over an hour. Six hours later and it's only dropped 7%-8%. (Wi-Fi was on for 5 hours and the music player was in use for 1 hour.) Nice!
The audio quality improvement was more than simply noticable in the car this afternoon (Mannheim Steamroller's "Christmas"); it was smooth and clear enough that I thought that it sounded like I had higher-end speakers/amp. Extra nice!
Your tweaks are much appreciated - much appreciated!
BTW, all of your apparently long-time fans kept mentioning Pon-3 and Xposed, so I'm off to explore.
Thanks, again for a wonderful job!

One of the key features of Lollipop is Project Volta, which is supposed to improve battery life, specifically standby time. I know the update has only been out a few days, but for those that have it, how much has your battery life improved?
It seems drastically better for me. Enough so that I'm going to keep the phone after thinking about getting rid of it after early battery life underwhelmed me. Where I used to finish the day at 10% or so, I'm now closer to 30-40%.
What I've found is that L without Greenify has battery life like Kitkat did with Greenify. Now that we have root we'll see if greenify makes it even better.
It's been a solid improvement for me, at least when I'm connected to wifi and the phone isn't being actively used. Probably only losing about 1% an hour now, as opposed to more like 3% before.
Project Volta optimizes battery consumption but app developers have to support the APIs, see here:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#Power
So, basically, Google and Motorola apps probably already use this, but battery life will not be so much better until app developers introduce support for these APIs

Likewise for me. It is like a different phone!

Battery Issues
I may be in the minority here, but my battery life has significantly decreased since the update. I don't have specific figures but I do know that on normal usage, whereas my battery used to be at about 70% after approximately 4 hours, it's now down to about 50%. I suspect it is due to some apps that are not optimized for 5.0 that are restarting again and again in the background. Either way, I hope this issue is corrected because I am having a hard time walking away from the charger for very long.
Mine is much better then before on KK.
Hey guys, just picked up the nexus six and am writing this all out on it right now so excuse any errors. I just have a few questions about what to expect from rooting this device/Roms in general. Roms for the device anyways...
So I've heard encryption slows the phone down by about a 50% mark and am curious as to peoples experiences before and after decryption. Does it truly feel to you that your device is 100% faster? If so, what makes you say that? The phone feels plenty fast to me at the moment, but I'm always interested in a little more...
I've also heard about the horrible battery life of the phone being caused by a sensor_Ind wake lock, among other things like the large screen and resolution. Has anyone experienced long enough to prove its not placebo, a noticeable, or even dramatic increase in battery life because of a ROM/kernel/theme. If so, what ROM/kernel/theme helped you the most?
And lastly, has anyone tried any of the more experimental mods out there on this device? Such as adding multiwindow, or blinkfeed? If so, how did it work out for you?
I'll be trying a lot of stuff while here so I'm just curious to ask the others out there how things have gone so far for them.
I am stock rooted and still encrypted, and phone is plenty fast for me. I have never unencrypted, so I can't compare the two. Currently I'm running Franco's r10 and the battery drain in deep sleep is incredibly small, and it is smooth as can be. He has done a good job on this kernel. I don't really have an issue with the sensor_ind causing excessive battery drain, but I don't monitor that kind of stuff constantly. I have uninstalled my battery monitor apps, as I find I don't need them because my phone will last me a couple days on 1 full charge.. If my battery life takes a dump, then I'll re-install them and take a look.
Is encryption worth it? A couple days is a sweet statistic though. I'll have to root soon and throw some stuff at my phone, hopefully grab one of the odexed Roms that are available as I tend to lean towards em
So far battery life to me is about 4 hours sot which isn't horrid. And I like the speed but the jitters on occaision bug me. I love the touch response on this display though feels like butter
I have a moto x 2014 and because I joined the soak test I did not spend much time on kitkat, since lollipop battery is awful I get roughly 1:30 to 1:40 of SOT, I have been considering downgrading to kitkat if it would greatly improve battery life because I have heard 5.1 doesn't help, please I would like to hear the opinion from the community thank you
You should look at your usage and tips to maximize the battery. Lollipop is pretty much overall an improvement to battery life AFAIK.
Check location reporting. Location type. (I use device only, less radio use, faster lock). Service quality... The usual suspects.
Hello all, I am assuming other people have had this issue, but are there any roms out there that fix the battery life between the KitKat and Lollipop updates? My battery was amazing at first, I could come off battery in the am, and still be at 95% around noon to 1pm, but now it drains about 20% faster it seems (wild guess, but I very much do not like it.)
Let me know if anyone has come across a rom that has the awesome battery as KitKat had, otherwise I might just try and go back to that.
Thanks!
I'm currently finding myself in the same situation as you. I've been on 5.0.1 for a while, but my battery life has been pretty bad. I just haven't bothered to do anything about it until my son got a Moto G and can get 5.5-6 hours of SOT, and I'm struggling to get 2.5 lately.
I installed CM 12.1 nightly last night, and so far, it may actually be worse. I can't keep it anyways due to music playback bugs.
I was on TEKXodus N4 URv3.6R3 prior to switching. Like the ROM (as much as one can like a TW ROM), but didn't deliver battery life.
I actually came here tonight to read up on the KK downgrade routine and find a KK ROM and start that.

Well that is unfortunately not what I was hoping to hear, but it may just be worth downgrading. I do like the aesthetics and such, especially of 5.1.1 which I have on my Nexus 4, but I much prefer usability and battery that kitkat provided.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's possible to get just as good battery life on LP as KK. I think you need to look at your setup, wakelocks, rogue apps, too many notifications or apps that constantly sync over the internet etc. Example: I lose 2% battery over night (8 hours).

Fwiw, I reverted to ank4 based FireKat and my battery life is back to great. 4 hours sot + 8 hours of music via slacker and/or Google.
People say you can good battery life on LP but I never could. I went through guide after guide, and none of it ever did anything for me. I'm also not going to cripple my phone for the sake of battery. I'd still like it to work.
Guys,
Just received my tablet and I am thinking about immediately swapping the stock ROM for a custom ROM but I am wondering what is the battery life comparison. I have seen benchmark comparisons which look ok (i..e slightly faster via custom ROM) but I have not seem battery life comparisons.
Specifically, because this is more a casual use tablet, I am more interested is how long the device will last when its not used, rather than on-screen time with stock versus custom, but any advise as to what is the best option. So, has anyone done battery comparisons with the various ROM's available?
Thanks
Jerome

Hey Jerome! I'm running slim ROM and the battery is amazing! It's way better than stock because all of the amzon crap is gone so its not draining the battery.
I'm a casual user on this too and only really use it in the evenings for light web browsing and a few games. The battery easily lasts me three or four days before I have to plug it again.
When the screens off and its in idle it only drains about 1% every five hours! I thought it was broken at first because I'm so used to my phones battery draining.
I don't use any power saver apps or anything. I originally had greenify,wakelock detector and better battery stats ready in case of drainage when the screen was off but deleted all of them as they were uneeded!
I'd def go custom rom! Really recommend slimrom its great!
Cm12 is great too and the battery was good on that, its just better for me on slim!
Sorry if this was a well long answer!
