Not sure if it is just me or not.. But after the last OTA, the one pushed a few days ago, it almost seems like I burn battery faster. Anyone else?
Battery life seems worse for me too, and the phone seems to run a little hotter (though that may be a coincidence since the weather's been hot where I am the last few days).
My battery is actually a bit better since update.
I need a few more days to confirm but it really does seem like battery life was impacted negatively for me.

Yep, ditto here, based solely upon overnite battery drain (fully charged when heading to zzz). No change in installed apps or their status--only change is VZW-pushed update a few days ago.
That's it!!! Doze is almost non existent it seems. This is really upsetting. I wonder if it has to do with the SD card stuff. I wonder if only SD Cards owners are affected.
Battery life has been slightly better since the most recent update.
My overnight is okay, but i use to get 40 hours. Now im getting 28 to 30. That's a huge difference.

Could be. I'm seeing some Phone Idle and Cell Standby usage overnight which wasn't present pre-update.

It does seem to be a little worse now that you mention it. It used to last all day, but now I'm at 20% halfway through. Granted, I have my AOD on. (That's probably why)
No noticeable difference here after the update. Doze is working fine. Using Greenify.
Mine dies fast also and when you use bluetooth also
It seems to me that is is VERY close or about where it was before the update.
I have to admit it seems like things run a bit better after the update as well. So at this point I think I am happy lol.
All in all, the phone rocks. Best piece of electronic equipment I have yet to own.
Mine is a little better and I have an SD card. Overnight drain has been reduce by 1% and it doesn't drain into the 80s as fast as it used to when I start using it. Did you clear cache via recovery? Start simple and you can resolve it eventually
I charge my phone at least twice a day.

I just wanted to share with everyone my great battery experience I am having after installing the Microsoft "No-Do" update. If anyone else is having noticeable battery changes after No-Do, post here and let us know!
My first impression was, it actually diminished. But then again, its too early for me to back that up, as my usage was way over normal. I was playing a lot with the devise trying to check its performance and stuff. But, I'll update after couple of days again.
I would've have to say one thing though, the Camera is fixed now. Actually it was fixed with the Pre-NoDo itself for me. Now I'm not getting over exposed or ghostly pictures with flash.

I discovered something which i doubt people would believe but the temperature of the battery when i watch videos decreased (Quite absurd) but before the update the battery was very hot to the extent i close my phone and take out the battery to cooldown. After the Nodo update the battery only warms up and never heats up.
i turn my phone on at 430 every morning and start streaming music and podcasts at 530, i get off work at arround 200 and still have about 10 percent battery and thats nonstop audio the whole time and 3g and wifi on screen set to auto.
I have my battery last for only half day. 0800-1500.
i think battery last a bit longer....
No difference for me.
Since i don't use 3g or WiFi that much, i have to recharge it after around 30-35 hours.
Mine has gotten better as the days go on...first day it didn't last that long.

Well it arrived yesterday, and I'm super-happy to say that so far (knock on wood) it appears to be essentially flawless; no screwy keys, no bad backlight, no boot-looping or overheating or any of the other issues that seem to plague some of the batches of phones. I also got the Moto 1930mAh battery, so battery life shouldn't be a big issue.
I was worried about the screen quality (a common D3 gripe), but I gotta say, after being accustomed to an older, smaller, scratched-up, lower-res, innaccurate, resistive touch screen on my HTC Tilt 2 for the last two years, I'm totally happy with the D3's screen; aside from it being slightly dimmer than some of the super-bright/saturated Super-AMOLEDs, it looks fine. I looked pretty closely and watched the text scroll in the Home interface and on web pages, and I never saw this "blurriness" that apparently drives all the super-picky screen elitists to hate PenTile. It looks great to me, probably due to the high res.
When it comes to navigating Android, I pretty much just stare at it and drool like a catatonic chimp, occasionally poking at buttons/icons, and dragging stuff here and there. Years of Windows Mobile haven't left me very Android-inclined I guess, but it looks intuitive and I've heard that it may be a slightly better OS than WinMo, so I'll figure it out.
And, as expected, the keyboard blew away any expectations I had. It's awesome.
So far I love the thing.
I'm a little scared to root; can I brick my phone while trying to root it?
Nice! I see: root! It can't be easier. Just double click!
I'd wait a bit before root. In general I say wait for an SBF of a sort. Soon we should see an update to address the bluish camera, power leaking car dock and few other minor annoyances. Hopefully recovery files will leak soon.

Well it's been 2 days now. I've figured out how to drag icons around and add/remove them from my Home screen, updated some stuff, and downloaded/played GRave Defense HD (fun game btw).
I left it to charge all night, and plucked it from the chrager at exactly 7am yesterday when I left for work. I've used it moderately so far; watched a few YouTube vids, played some GRave Defense, texted a fair amount, checked Gmail, explored the menus a lot and fiddled around with it quite a bit. So far the battery is down to about 48% in a period of 30 hours (7am one day to 1pm the next day) without being turned off at all. I'm betting it will hit two days before needing a recharge, althoug with heavier usage it mayonly last 30-36 hours per charge. Still, not too bad at all for such a monster smartphone. I'm actually pretty impressed. I do have the 1930mAh Moto battery though. Which, I must add, doesn't even add any noticeable size increase to the phone.
Gotta say I LOVE this phone so far; I definitely picked the right phone for me; I can't find a single thing wrong with it, really. I don't know what people are *****ing about as far as the interface being slow or the screen being in any way blurry; you practically have to look at the thing under a friggin microscope to even see the slight cross-hatched PenTile dithering. I think people are just looking for excuses to complain. Of course, I don't have that much for a basis of comparison; I'm not really spoiled with all the latest phone technology, having only a Tilt2 with its old 528MHz single-core processor and buggy-ass, laggy TouchFLO-3D-on-top-of-Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system for comparison.
the blurry thing is hard to see at first.. but after a while you will notice it.. it doesnt bug me so much but its there lol.. overall i love the phone too.. great purchase.. i just got into the rooting and exploring android further scene.. rooting is easy .. its literally 2 clicks away.. cant harm anything.. but from there.. becareful what u do .. u dont want to delete the wrong thing .. then ur sol till an SBF comes out..
I agree it is a good little phone and once you get used to it you get to liking it. I am finding that it is a nice phone to be able to dink around with. My only thing is I haven't found a launcher I just love. Blur seems slow, as does ADB, and Go Launcher was buggy. But other then that it seems like a good little phone.

Oooh, I just figured out that I can forcibly turn up the brightness in the Display settings and the display looks brilliant in a half-lit room. I don't want it eating up battery though so I'll keep it down around 60% or so.
I loaded DICE player and it literally crashes and reboots my phone EVERY TIME I load any kind of video file. Craptacular. I'll stick with MoboPlayer.
I rooted my unlocked XT860 quite easily using PSouza's Tool (version 1.06). It worked very well! I was afraid as well but didn't see anyone in the forum that said they bricked when they tried it.
I semi-bricked my phone by trying to flash one of the ROMs out there (Steel Droid), so I warn you - don't do any ROMs until they are released as international-friendly! (or specifically built for our XT860's).
To unbrick, I flashed the Chinese ME865 SBF. It's nice to have my phone back but it's on Android version 2.3.5, which is currently not root-able.
So there *is* a way out in case of catastrophe, but it's not as nice as having a stock Bell SBF.
I also rooted and added Hashcodes recovery to my XT860, but like everyone else, I'm impatient for something to flash. It's like our phones are all dressed up, but have nowhere to go
Its slightly depressing as well, surfing all the other sites, the popular ones and some not so popular...there's just no dev action on this phone. No forums even where we can exchange information. Well, except in here, hidden in the D3 forums.
I can't complain about the phone at all, to be honest, as I won it in one of MobileSyrups giveaways.

Well just as an update, the battery ran until about 8pm the following night, from 7am the previous morning. That's about... What? 37 hours? When I plugged it in, it still had 10% as well, but it was going down pretty quick, likely would not have lasted another hour or two. Not bad at all though; 37 hours without a recharge while surfing, texting, and downloading/installing hordes of new apps is certainly a pretty good time-frame for a smart phone these days.
Just downloaded/installed Pandora Radio, it is the dog's bollocks (that's British for "Awesome").

Since the times of milestone one, those big numbers are surfacing.
Usually they came from people that doesen't use the always on data or is used to keep the phone in 2g.
With my xt883 and the extended battery i'm happy if i reach the end of the day...
Well OK, to be fair, I work in a secured area and can't bring my phone in, and must leave it in a little locker outside the door. This happens about 5-6hrs a day, so you could subtract up to 10 or 12 hours of actual usage time out of that 37 hours, but I made sure that at no point was the phone ever turned off or put in sleep mode or airplane mode; it was always on and had signal.
Wow impressive. I wish my battery life was that long. But unfortunately CDMA isn't as friendly. But I can make it through the day with over 50% left if I do it right.
I'm lucky if I get 8 hours, regardless of use

Hey guys, looking for some input here.
Im coming up on the 14 day return policy for the nexus 6, but im really thinking of returning it and going with the note 4.
The only issue i have with the phone is battery life. My phone seems to gulp it down. Now i do have many battery draining features turned off and standby time is excellent. Its when i actually use the phone i get massive drain, whether it be facebooking, web browsing, or playing games, the phone loses a lot of life! My wife used the camera this past weekend for 20 minutes according to the stats and my percentage dropped 25%from 80% to 55% within 1/2 hour!
My brightness is also on adaptive at 35-40%. For the life of me, it just seems i cant stop the battery drain.
I know going to the stock note 4 battery is about the same, but Zerolemon is releasing the note 4 10000 mah battery later this month. I had the same battery on my note 3 and loved it, ive never killed that battery. Yes, itll be a brick, yes but im thinking id prefer battery over function.
I do love the nexus, especially the screen size and the front facing speakers, and i will lose those with the note, but having a dead phone by 6pm makes those features useless. Yes, i could charge the phone halfway through the day, but i was spoiled with the note 3 extended battery.
SO my question is, should i chance the nexus 6 and hope upcoming updates solve the drain, or should i dump it and go with the note 4 and extended battery.
Frank
TL;DR NExus 6 battery dies too quick, return and get note 4 with zero lemon.
I went from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6 and battery life is about the same. I was actually pretty disappointed with the battery life of the Note 4 considering i had a Note 2 where the battery lasted FOREVER! I had originally decided that i would bypass the Nexus 6 and get the Note 4 instead, and at first i loved it but after having to deal with constant lag and dealing with samsung's crappy radios i'm glad i picked up the Nexus 6 (Note 4 is my new alarm clock at home)
It seems that your mind is already made up.. just get the Note 4

Are you using stock ROM or rooted and/or flashed? Sounds unusual for stock. I'd check your network settings and make sure your preferred network type and access point name are correct for your carrier but if standby time is good that probably isn't it anyway. I'd look for an app which gives more detailed battery usage information and go from there.
after going through an S4 and Note 3.. Im glad to be away from samsung. They have amazing hardware specs but drag it down with their crappy touchwiz. It's really unfortunate, the s-pen is pretty great.

It seems the biggest drain is during use, not standby!

That is normal on any device. That battery for me is decent. However don't forget that you just got a new device. People always use new devices more initially before they settle into a normal use rhythm. Also I wouldn't worry much about the return date because this device is so hard to get that if you sold it yourself you would probably make money on it. Just give it time.

It's possible that something is wrong with YOUR nexus. I get 5 hours of sot with a stock rooted rom and greenify. Once I decrypt, ROM and kernel I'd expect 6 to 8 easy.

The battery life is obviously important, so it is certainly a dice roll on your part.
For me, I have a Note 2 and waiting for N6 to be available for me. I am so sick of Samsung forced apps and touchwiz. It's not rooted, but I don't feel like I should have to root it in order to get a basic OS without the addons being forced on me by the manufacturer, and then have the warranty voided because of it.

theres no such thing as "typical". we all use our devices differently, and have differing signal quality. you can really ever compare battery stats with another person because of that. only you know how you use your device. so the question is going to get changed.. by how you use your device, and your local signal quality, are you happy with your battery life?

Did you allow google to auto restore settings, apps, data at first boot up? Coming from a different device and OS version could have synced something funky that is causing this. I have noticed this before. Consequentially I never use this feature. I always set every device up fresh (same if switching Roms too in my book). I would try a factory reset at the very least. I have been trying hard to kill my n6 today with no luck, already 12 up time 22% battery left with 4½ hours SOT. Battery stats say I have 3 hours of life left.
Have google now on and going, 2 email clients syncing, g+ syncing, Tapatalk syncing, roughtly 4 active hangouts going, and updated 8+ apps from play store.
Been actively trying to duplicate a power day on this thing. With you experience, something is off with your description and worth experimenting some.
I did do the wireless sync due to some apps needing to recover data.
Maybe I'll try a reset and manually download the apps.

Ive had my phone for a couple weeks now. The first week I had it obviously I was playing around with it a ton and trying different Qi chargers to see how they work. My battery life was unimpressive at 8-10 hours. I was hoping to have at least a full days worth of time based on everything this is supposed to have.
Then I tried a couple things. I turned off the stupid fit application. I ran the battery all the way down until the phone literally turned off. Then I used only wall USB chargers to charge it up.
Now with the same type of usage 3-4 hours of screen time, Im typically getting at least 18-24 hours of battery life. I even managed 30 hours once. Anyway, Im extremely happy with the way this phone is holding up now. Obviously YMMV but I think if you find the right tweaks for the way you use it, it should last longer than you expect.

So Far Today by your stats i will give you mine.
@ 27% Battery Left after flashing Stock a 1.5 days ago rooted/decrypted
Screen is at 4:30:09 @ 42% Usage
Phone Radio 15:30:41 @ 4% usage
Wifi Active 3:24:12 1% usage
Held Awake 2:23:26 0% usage
App Usage 53%
I also have a persistent System (ADSPD) drain that while i don't know how much its draining app sucker puts it at 13.8% vs the next drainer of Android System at 7.3%
Just guessing maybe you are in a poorer signal area than I? Basing that on your phone radio using much more of the percentage?
For what its worth you saw my screen on time. GSAM is predicting 6h 58m total for the day if i run it to 0.
Okay first off, Im not a newb to ROM flashing...Coming from a rooted S3. I am familiar with battery drain and possible causes.
Here is my current situation. I rooted my phone earlier in the week. I believe it was on Wednesday. I ended up flashing Unity ROM. I spent my day working out any minor hiccups and doing some customization. I ended up updating to 2.1.2 using the OTA updater on Thursday. Battery life was bad at first, and I fear the last few days its not getting any better.
Nothing obvious jumping out at me in BB stats. Last night I went to sleep fully charged, I woke up around 7 this morning and I had 50%.
I was getting 2 days with 3.5 hours screen time on stock the other day so this is why im concerned.
Should it take much longer than 2-3 days for the ROM to settle and battery to return to normal?
Not sure if Im just jumpin the gun here or what. Should I try another ROM? or give it a few more days ya think?
Any advice is appreciated
U will need to use stock slot. Rom slots for some reason have bug that uses little more juice. Unity gave me good battery life in stock slot.
Also it wouldn't hurt to freeze are Uninstall apps u don't use. Also there in settings there app ops where u can set what each does are doesn't do.
AT&T u unlocked Lg G3 how about Sm-870A & Sm-900A.

Thanks for the tip man! That could of taken me a while to figure out on my own. Common knowledge on this phone seems to be pretty sparse and spread out at times and slightly outdated and/or not notated well. Of course it is pretty new in its lifecycle and there isn't a ton of development at this point. Gotta learn as you go sometimes I guess.
I deleted my Custom slot and flashed unity on my stock slot. I seem to notice a difference already. I'll see how it settles in and update this thread in a few days with my results. Sounds like you've been through this already though

I can confirm an insane difference since switching over to using my stock slot...Scary difference
So Friday night in ROM slot, went to bed at 100%, woke up at 50%
Last night with ROM in stock slot went to bed at 100%, woke up at a strong 95%
So yea, ROM slots are great if you don't mind losing your battery literally 10 times faster than normal...Holy **** thats a big difference!
It'd be cool if this can be fixed. I like the idea of ROM slots, but in no way am I going to sacrifice that much of my battery life to use that feature.

Right! im loving this ROM now. I'll be at a full 2 days since charge by this evening. Im sitting at 69% right now, with a little over 2 hours screen time...Ridiculously AWESOME!!! Kicking stock's ass so far! Almost double what I was getting (which was already great!)
So, my first Note 7 was great. I had none of the reported lag or battery life/battery drain problems. I replaced it last Friday. The replacement phone is set up identically, but my battery life is much worse. I have yet to hit 4 hours SOT, with my max being around 3. On the old one I always got at least 4. In battery usage, Android System is at the top of the list, and CPU total is 6.5hr out of the 12 it's been off the charger. Nothing has changed so I have no idea why this would be. Is there a fix for this? Has anyone else had this issue with their replacement?

Unfortunately, it's a wide spread issue. Many people are reporting battery issues, such as drain and slower charging. All signs are pointing to these new batteries being jank. Either that, or built in software changes in the firmware to intentionally neuter battery performance for safety measures.
I am having the same issue bad battery drain.

I had horrible battery with my first one and more of the same with this new one. I get through my 8hr day at work with 20-15% left and just a Lil over 1hr screen time. Always android system and android os keeping the cpu going.
I disabled just about all Samsung bloat except Knox and ant services. Gonna see how it goes tomorrow.

Let me know how it goes. With my original phone I was getting the best battery life I've ever gotten from a phone (the Nexus 6 previously held that title). Very disappointed that the replacement doesn't last like the original.
same for me... any reason known ?
My fast charging seems to not be working, at least I don't think so. Worked perfect on my v1 note 7. Now, no lie it's charges quicker with fast charging turned off. Found that strange. And my battery life is horrible cause I'm always on my phone so nothing weird there lol
Not sure if this will be relevant for anyone else:
I found in another thread (that I cannot find for the life of me now...) some talk about an issue with Oculus Home eating up a lot of resource while attempting to install itself, failing and continuously retrying. I thought my phone was broken. I went from full to 20% in 5 hours extremely warm the entire time, typing in any app was painful. It prevented the gear fit 2 plugin from updating causing all sorts of weirdness with S health and my gear fit 2. So much so that I called Samsung tech support for the first time (great btw).
I got rid of everything Oculus related on my phone and now it feels brand new.
That app was like cancer it seems

Yea the last oculus update destroyed the app. I hope they get it fixed soon.

Slightly better today so far but still horrible. Snapchat is killing the battery. I sent 2 snaps and looked at a couple stories.
I miss my ver. 1 battery life
