Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Huawei Nexus 6P's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Lasts two days with light use.

I'm disappointed from the battery. Of course I knew it but when you have it in your own hands it's twice a disappointment. I use it for an hour of talk time, two hours of browsing, and a few other tasks mainly file management. I have both wifi and data open with 5 push emails. Notifications from other apps are disabled. Only emails, sms, viber, whatsapp and FB messenger are allowed.
I have less than 40% battery at the end of the day when on my previous Note 4 I could have easily 60% or more. I am terrified to start gaming and music listening through my Sony SBH-52 BT headset.

Yes something's wrong on your end. And I remember using both the note 4/5 and you can see the battery melt in front of your eyes. With light use I get easily a day and some. I've never run out of battery with the n6p

Battery is pretty better than note 4. I have been using note and I can post both devices screenshot about battery backup and sot

Not sure that is what I'd call light use, but have you looked at the threads in the other forums here addressing some of the known bad apps, etc? Lots of good advice here on how to make the battery last a lot longer on the 6P. Since they fixed the Naptime app a few days ago for a bug it had with MM, I've finished the last two days over 90%. Few phone calls, few texts, a few web searches. I'm rooted, running the Kylo kernel, greenify'd a few apps. Stock ROM.

With light use I have gone 3 days without charging. Just turn off "Ambient Display" and other automatic screen on options like that.

Doze is amazing. It takes a while to turn on without root or Greenify but light use can make the battery last at least a day if not a day and a half and that is awesome!

does ambient light impacts battery life?

not much, but yes

I've had a 6P for about a 5 days now.
I just installed Nougat and can report that Doze really is vastly improved vs. MM. With very light use yesterday while on a five hour drive I was seeing values like 3% per hour while streaming BT audio (no nav, screen off, controlling playback via steering wheel-mounted controls). Going up I didn't use the phone except for checking the weather and saw something like 1.5% per hour.
So far this morning at work, where I usually hardly use the phone at all, I'm seeing something like 1.9% per hour just occasionally turning on the screen to check for texts/e-mails (SoT so far, 4 hours into my day is about 45 minutes). The best my Note 5 EVER did, impersonating a brick on my desk, was maybe 3.5% per hour. At the end of the day, with about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of SoT it would usually have 10%-15% left, so I would say the endurance of the 6P is astounding.
I am concerned however about the dramatic effect using the camera has on this. I spent about 15 minutes playing with the camera last night before and 15 minutes after installing Nougat and noted a huge amount heat being generated with the resultant power consumption of over 15% in just those few minutes. I get that the processor is working hard on processing but this is one area the Note 5 is better. While the 6P is so much more efficient overall than the Note 5 (running MM), I use the camera a lot while traveling and occasionally for work, and I'm worried that it will so dramatically reduce it's endurance that it'll die on me halfway through the day. I'm going to Singapore for a week next for a week and so far I don't think the 6P will be the phone I take only for this reason. I was hoping that with Nougat Google would have improved the efficiency of the camera app/photo processing but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I would go so far as to say this may drive me to return it.

After few days of light use I can finally share more details. Phone lasts 1 day and 20 hours with the light use. Phone used for 1h05m, screen 1h16m, 44h active phone (where first 8 hours were in very low signal area) with 13h wake time. I have three push accounts active, BT always on, Wifi as never when screen off. I have reached same results on my S7 Edge so it is not that bad as I suspected. Whats is very positively supposing is that while reading battery drops 1% per 9 minutes - not bad, and 1% per 10 minutes while using Spotify over BT headset.

Yeah I think about 1.5 days average.

Good but not best

Honestly, it's pretty mediocre. You could install a kernel and shut down all the cores but even that doesn't really help. Be prepared to charge everyday.

Great with oxygen os and boeffla. Light use maybe you'll get 6h on screen in a day. 5 with a little gaming. With cm13 its impossible more than 3h. I don't know why.

I get about 48-60 hours out of mine with SkyDragon OS. With stock OS I got between 30-48 hours.
Daily use includes messaging, FB, various app usage and very little web browsing (reason below).
Main battery hog for me is the browser (tried Chrome, Next and CM. All the same issue). It'll eat up to 80%/hr. Seen it on two different OP2s.

Try "naked browser".... Lightest usage I've seen in browser. Takes a bit to get used to UI but well worth the effort!

Absurd Battery Drain during use, Any Device, never was a problem till 5.0+

What's up xda guys and gals? I'm at a point where I've just reached the end of my wits and I'm about to just give up entirely over this. I've spent countless hours reading, for weeks, months, and now a few years off and on trying to find a solution to this... but even with the help of some pals here on the forums, I'm at a total loss.
Ever since we went to 5.0 Lollipop, my battery drain during use (As in, general use like web browsing, messaging, reading, emailing, etc) has just become out of control. Like, I'm talking extreme and it doesn't matter what device I use O.O , Yeah... Basically, whether I am reading, emailing, browsing, I on average lose about 1% every 1-2 minutes. Phones always running hot, I've tried underclocking, minimum brightness, under volting. Nothing fixes it...
I've had this issue on:
The OnePlus One (Only after 5.0, never on KK)
The Moto X 2nd gen
The Moto X Pure
The Nexus 6p
The HTC M9
The HTC 10
The Xperia Z2 and Z3
Now...for a quick recap of what I do on my devices... I never use auto sync, everything is set to manual, location is off, location scanning is off, wifi scanning is off, bluetooth is only on while I am in the car (bluetooth use is really on 2015+), almost always manual brightness, never turned above 50%, if auto is used I still limited it to 50% as a max. No games are ever played (mobile games aren't real games), No 3D stuff, or other heavy gpu related nonsense.
With these things in mind... Here is my battery history. Only with major milestones to indicate progression.
From the first to the last (oldest to newest device)
Galaxy S2 - Average runtime of 15-17 hours with 1.5-2.5 hours of SOT. (Although 2.5 wasn't till I learned to root and used roms, so very late)
Galaxy S3 - Average runtime of 16-18 hours, 2-3 hours of SOT.
Galaxy S4 - Average Runtime of 18-21 hours, 3-4 hours of SOT
Moto X 1st Gen - Average Runtime of 19-24 hours, 5-6 hours SOT.
HTC M8 - Average Runtime of 18-30 hours, 5-5.5 hours of SOT
OnePlus One - Average Runtime of 20-35 hours, 6-8 hours of SOT. (Average was about 7, but was lower for a while when I was streaming 20GB of youtube/music a month over LTE.
What do I get currently on my newer OnePlus one? Between Cos12.1-CM13 (Tried different ones over time), a average runtime of 10-15 hours with 2-3.5 hours of SOT, 4 if I am lucky. HOWEVER...if I do not use the phone, at all, like ZERO usage it will show 1-2 days of standby, if I use it for more than 5 minutes, it will say like 4 hours.
WTF happened?
Now... the the other phones I listed above that I had the same issue with, were all mostly similar. The OPO is the only device out of that group that can go over 3 hours of SOT for me. When I had a Moto X Pure, I actually completely drained it in 3 hours and 22 minutes. As in, Not like 12 hours and then 3 hours 22 minutes of SOT, I mean 3 hours and 22 minutes of COMPLETE RUN TIME. That was just a collective of messaging, reading, browsing the web and some videos over wifi, never higher than 720p. Nothing out of my norm at all...
I went through 5 different Moto X Pure's, I just thought... "I have to have a crap one, it cannot be this bad". But I gave up after the 5th.
The only device I've used that gave me ROCK solid battery life on something running 5.0+ was the Nexus 6, It felt like a normal phone to me, but that dang ascending ringtone just killed it for me. Although now days I need waaaaaay more than 64GB, but i digress.
My question is... am I going nuts? Or did android just become extremely power inefficient after 5.0+? What happened? I just honestly cannot imagine that phones are this garbage with battery now days, I am a power user in terms of reading, messaging, and such, but I don't game or steam 1440p videos over LTE all day like some folks do. How on earth do people even use phones like that today? With all my efforts to be as battery economical as possible, it's horrible by 4.4 and under standards, what is it like for people who don't try to conserve at all? 1 hour phones? I'm seriously just at a loss...
Now, I know most of you will say "post battery stats", and I can do so if someone wishes...but it's never helped me find anything. There are no applications consuming like 80% of the power, it all just... looks normal, just Android System always around 12%-15%. I've tried multiple battery stat applications, I've sent stats to friends on xda, and so far it's just "normal". It basically feels like every phone I touch just magically has its' battery reduced to 1000 mah or something. I just... I'm seriously at a loss.
Can someone shed some light on this? Am I crazy? Or did 5.0+ just zap up the power?
Thanks

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor 7X before depleting the battery.

I wanted to post the very good results I get from my battery after all my good settings.
So I usually have way more than 24 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy usage. And I can go over 8 hours of screen on time, with wifi, 4g, and a bit of gaming not restricting anything. What are your results?

I get about 12 hours sot without gaming. And around 8 hours with gaming

I get over 12 hours of SOT almost all the time watching Facebook live stream over 4G.

12 hours? HOW?
I bought this phone just for the big battery. It's new, all optimised, just a few apps and the battery sucks...not to mention the battery graph. I honestly believe that I don't even reach 5 hours SOT, just by using WhatsApp and Mint Browser. mah!
Now my phone is at 87% with a 1h27 SOT. Google play services is at the top with 11.25% (which is still low, compared to usual values). I have disabled and optimised everything I could, no sync, no backup, nothing...and still, here I am

Depends on usage, but i can get from 10 to 6 hours of sot. If using phone non stop, 10+ hours easily. If a lot of standby, i usually get around 6 hours sot with 48 hour standby.

For me in half brightness it lasted me 11 to 12 hours almost non stop in YouTube and Instagram
