Hey guys... Can you please tell me what is happening? I have 2 nexus 5s both running identically similar apps and this is what is happening with the battery. One was unplugged since last night at 2am. One was unplugged this morning at 9am and the 9am battery is almost done. What is happening?!?!

Well my issue was WI-FI but yours doesn't seems like that. Maybe a 3rd party app make this wakelocks. Use the phone in safe mode for 1-2 hours and check it.

Okay thank you. So after a few hours of it being in safe mode. The battery stat suggests that it is not constantly on awake like before anymore. What does this imply?
It means there's a HUGE bug in Lollipop 5 for Nexus 5. We all hope that Google will fix it soon. Just hope.
Thanks! It's strange though. Why affect one device but not the other?
This must be asked to Google.
Hi all. Haven't seen any active battery life threads.
Curious what everyone is getting because I'm thinking my drain might be a bit worse than others are getting.
I'm on the AT&T variant. Off the charger for 13 hours today and at only 42%. I've really only used it to check notifications and that's it. So I'm averaging about 4-5% drain per hour. Is this normal?
Any tips for achieving better battery life?

-Are you using an always on Clockface? That affects battery alot. I have to charge every night. I am usually down to 20 or 30% at Night. That is with me playing with clock faces to try and find one I like and using the always on Faces.

Yeah I am and figured that would be the first question for me. Unfortunately that's one thing I can't live without...or at least don't want to.

-I still get all day battery. I get up around 6 am and put it on the charger at night around 10 and still have 20 to 30% so it isn't getting 2 or 3 days but I don't wear a watch at night anyway so it works for me.
Same here
I am also around 20-30% after a full day use, that is if I am only on bluetooth ... I think it is the qualcomm chip vs. the samsung one? My experience is definitely far away from the 3 days claim. C'est la vie, I love the watch!
used to last only 1 day, by the time i get home from work at 8pm it had 10~15% left. After the latest software update now I have 75~80% by the end of the day, it even last through out the next day so i only needed to charger it on the 3rd day, HUGE battery improvement. Whatever verizon or samsung did on the new patch it is awesome, I always have all connections enable (bluetooth, wifi, NFC, location, mobile, etc)
Is yours the 3g version?
Also is it AT&T and what is your software version?
I know I can look desperate, but this problem is driving me crazy.
My battery was good (but not perfect) in Android 6.0, but this latest update .224 is horrible! I have the same apps and the same use and with a maximum of 3 hours SoT! In one hour of normal use lose almost 10%!
Some people are having the same problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ues-32-2-A-0-224/td-p/1137290/highlight/false
I did not clean install of 6.0 to 6.0.1. I just did clean install of 5.1 to 6.0.
There are people who did clean install and are having the same problem.
Someone here is going through the same problem?
Hey, I had the exact same problem as you (UK Generic) and I did a clean install as well. I had to do a factory reset after installing and it took about 2 days for the battery drainage to settle down. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 days of battery which is similar to the previous firmware.
Try a factory reset.
To be honest, I'm getting the best battery life I ever had out of that smallish 2,900mAh battery + power-hungry Snapdragon 810, since .224
I still don't get the battery life I had out of my OnePlus One (that thing was a beast), but it's better. I get home after work with between 25% and 35% battery left now. With Lollipop and Marshmallow 6.0, pre 224, it would usually be between 15~20% (25% on good days), same usage pattern.
The Z5 is still not a very good phone in the battery life department, and probably neve will be, but it's better now.
One important thing though: I clean-installed .224

The funny thing is rebooted the device and now improved! Yesterday I got 4 SoT easy! I believe to be some kind of bug that was draining my battery! But anyway I will do a clean install!

I turned off once and giving reboot again, but had not resolved! The system android was 9% and then increased to 14% of battery usage. Is now 6%, ie normal.
I got 4 hours 40 minutes of SOT today, from 100 to 2%. This was mainly browsing and some videos over the span of 10 hours. If I'm lucky I can get 12 hours overall but with only 2-3h screen on time, as I don't use the phone as often.
I noticed something odd today - Wifi is now showing at he top of my usage details and it shows an entire span of Wifi usage (from 19 days ago, I think that is when the phone was updated). It has no impact on the battery life but it's just odd that "screen" doesnt show on the top anymore. I rebooted and the same thing occurs.
The battery usage screen really sucks now - you can't even see if the phone is "awake" or when there was wifi/mobile signal etc.
I got over 7hours with WiFi connected, Opera browser to read wattpad and my phone still had 27%. I've just unplugged my phone 2 hours ago and used it to surfing GG+ and Facebook, 20% for 2hour and 10mins usage. So it's good or bad? This result is a little better than my old Z2.
Same thing here. I usually have up plug in mid of the day just to make sure i have enough juice to survive the night. Around 3 hrs SOT only. Even with the auto sync off and wifi scanning off. Location service is off too. I don't see why the standard stamina mode has been removed that usually prolongs battery. I have doze installed for mobile data minimized but still around 3hrs or so

I get the same WiFi bug and it's currently showing 18 days! Did you clean install the update? OTA or via Xperia Companion?

Which option do you see it?
With normal use, (browsing, social networks, videos, etc) I lose about 10% -15% per hour which I think is normal because I use it a lot. so it may last about 6 - 8 hours until it reaches 20% and I charge it immediately, I only drained the battery from 100% to 0% one time. Because I read somewhere full drains are not good for battery. Anyway if I play games, for example Need for Speed No Limits, I lose about 20% in an hour or so. so if I keep playing it will last only 4 hours aprox. maybe less. But there had been days where I almost don't use the phone and it lasts all day. So I really can't complain. But it certainly doesn't lasts 2 days as Sony said

After charging to 100%, it's gone.
I updated with OTA this time around, and not a clean install.

Got the new update promise to fix batt, did you guys update?
Without any changes on usage type (I cannot say its regular on everyday, but I can say that there is no difference between last update and and previous one) battery performance on last update is about half of the previous one! Even if the stamina mode is activated, draining is very fast on my device (z5 compact). Draining on stamina mode is larger than normal usage on normal mode (prev version). In short, this problem is very very bad on my phone. I'm wondering when this issue will be solved or this is just happened on my device?

Have to keep it in your mind.
I did clean install of .224, wipe everything. Let the battery dies completely and recharged up to 100% without stopping. I had a significant improvement in battery life!
So I bought my gear s3 two days ago, and it was on Tizen 3.0, with the battery draining from 100% to around 15% in 14 hours of moderate use. Last night, I updated to Tizen 3.0.0.1, which claimed to improve battery usage, but today, just a mere 2 hours into the day with almost no usage and I am left with 89%! Is this normal? Based on this use, I would have to charge my gear every single night to be able to make it through the next day. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
(According to my gear app I should have 2 days of battery life, but it ends up barely lasting me through the day.)
Yes, unfortunately that is what I get too!
If I turn AOD off, it'll only use 25% per day!
But when I was on 2.3 it lasted that long with AOD on!

My experience as well. Not only is the battery usage is much higher, but the screen respond is horrible since the update. I can live with it, but I don't like it.

Got the pro delivered today. Ive noticed battery life is quite poor. Dropping 5-10% every 30 mins or so. Battery usage seems to suggest the google app is using about 25% of the battery. Usage is nothing over the top. Coming from a pixel 5 with excellent battery

Dude it's your first setup and install. Give it a day or two. Normal. I have used the 7 and 7 pro now for 3 weeks which is great.

Yea. I agree. But drain seems very rapid. Just dropped 3% since i posted the question. Will wait a few days and report back

Just try to charge it fully and use it for a few more days, also for new phones there will always be updates for battery issues!
Been using both 7 series for 3 weeks. Fingerprint is perfect. Hardly use it with face unlock though

OK...let's have it...how in the world have you been using the phone(s) for the last three weeks?
It's a 5nm(or 4nm) Samsung fab made SOC, it's going to have poor efficiency.

Because I work for a network in the UK. Only allowed to talk about them after launch
I'm not sure if others have issues with battery drain and I did see the article on display on the Pixel 7 Pro being a battery killer...but after using the phone for a few days now, I can confirm that the phone, software, all the fancy features are absolutely great but the battery sucks. This phone is a battery killer indeed. I'm monitoring with accubattery and trying greenify but no luck yet. I have even tried keeping the Smooth Display disabled/turned off (to prevent refresh rate being increased to 120 Hz) but the brain drain literally is insane. I am not an expert and I am not sure if more battery charge cycles, optimization through phone use etc will help over time either. I have tried restricting battery use for many apps as well and tried disabling background data for some apps - no luck on this one too. Hopefully the underlying cause can be fixed with some usual Google software patch magic...if not, it's going to a year of battery misery I guess. I'm curious to hear others experience and any suggestions. Thank you.
I am on the same page when it comes to battery... I have the 7 Pro and since 6PM last night it dropped to 38% with only 1h 45 min of SOT... That is never going to get close to even 3h of SOT.
It is on 1440p and 120hz but still, I don't think this is ok.
Mine is so much better than what my P6P was, yesterday i had 54% left after 17 hours off charge and playing with it given its a new toy, My P6P would have been down to 20%'ish.
I've lost 20% today (since 6.20am) but i have had Poweramp playing music for a couple of hours, i have been out and about taking photos and i made a 30 minute call.

Yeah, mine has been really good also. Really good idle drain and overnight it's in deep sleep around 97% of the time. Active drain has been good as well.
Mine seem to be be about on par with my P6P. Not great, but not horrible.
Compared to my poco f2 pro which only has a 4700mah battery the pixel 7 pro's battery life is pretty abysmal. I used to run twice the **** on that phone and it still didn't die as fast as the p7p. Hope a few firmware updates will get it to a better place. Turing off pick up and tap screen to wake made a little bit better but it's still abysmal imo.
For whatever it's worth, I've had mine (unlocked google / 512) since Thursday. Accubattery has been on since Friday when I rooted and started restoring apps . Just checking it and coming off a full charge overnight (trickle charge) it's estimating I have 11 hours of SOT, 62 hours screen off time. Since it was off the charger around 3 hours ago it's dropped 2% with 26 minutes of SOT.
To be fair I use my phone for email, texts, minor information/news gathering and music streaming and light photo/video recording without much running in the background so I'm not a high power user. YMMV
Weird. My experience is completely the opposite - 6 hours 23 minutes SOT with 21% remaining yesterday on my first full cycle when I put it back on charge. No complaints at all.
Did anyone with poor battery performance transfer apps to the new phone through cable? This has been bad for battery on new phones as ooposed to letting the new phone download the apps.....

The Pixel 7P and 6P I have here ran like total garbage when I transferred data between the two with a USB cable. A fresh install made both phones run great.
