This thread is for battery life discussion of android 6 Marshmallow.
I took the plunge recently and installed cm13 nightly on my phone after a couple of days with sultan's cm13 ROM. One notice that the android team really got the battery optimisations right this time especially when coming from android 5.1. The cell standby and android system bug is now gone and the phone can now be in standby for a long time. My usage pattern is browsing, reading in Adobe reader, listening to mucisc with bluetooth headphones, facebook, wassup, some youtube videos, sms and few calls. I play farm heros sometimes but I don't play graphical intensive games.
Here are 2 screenshots of my phone. It was charged to 100% at 8:00am on 30/11/2015 and it still has 41% left as at 10:00am 02/12/2015 Granted I have only used it on wifi and I configured wifi to automatically disable 5 minutes after the screen is off.
You can post you battery life too.

If a moderator deem it fit, he/she can close the thread but I felt it will be nice to make a dedicated thread for Marshmallow instead of looking through a big thread to get the relevant information needed for a particular android version.

yes.
It still sucks on mobile data. Nothing changed from Lollipop in regards of mobile data battery drain and i wish google could do something about it.
That's it! It's still on LP niveau
i had around 2 hours of screen on time and less than a day's battery life. The MMS also didn't work with WiFi connected, so I switched back to CM12.
I finally charged the phone today but not before I took a screenshot. My usage is not heavy at all so for heavy users, I guess the SOT will be longer but the total number of hours the phone was on will be lower. My usage did not change form that of 5.1 but I can definitely see a great change in standby time.
Still doesn't beat out KitKat in terms of heavy usage IMO.
The performance(yield) of the battery essuperior to android 5.1. The cycle of load lasts approximately two hours more of screen.

Try Omniron Herna build, it does wonders on my phone regarding battery usage

6.0 has the same battery life as 5.x for me. about 4-5h SoT.
KitKat and early 5.0 builds were clearly better with 8h SoT
Currently running Sultan's ROM CM13:
My battery life has hugely improved when I'm not touching the phone, no one app is draining way to much battery while not in the foreground.
There is one problem some people including me have been experiencing which is that Wi-Fi doesn't switch of properly and drains the battery, the only solution I found was to reboot the device after switching it off.
Not sure if this is a CM problem or the specific rom but not AOSP.
But apart from that battery life is good.
On sultan CM 13 CAF
Getting 4-5 hrs of SOT
Still waiting on a fix for mobile radio active. Had to go back to KitKat after a year on 5.x and a week or so on cm13. The difference in battery is staggering. Here's hoping Google actually finds a solution for the drain, otherwise I'm gonna have to stick to KitKat until I get a new phone.
I dont worry much abt battery charge ..currently on CM13.. dont see much of difference ... expect charge to last for 1 day.. connect to charging when home
Tech guys suggest me best battery rom for OPO don't fun with me by saying cm11s 44s. Almost 1 year stick to cm11 I need some latest android version in my device,
I'm new to xda
Thanks in advance!
Just stole myself this glorious phone yesterday (not really.. got a smokin deal) after 3 years and a month on a Nexus 4 that was left stock the entire time. My OPO is already rooted/unlocked so I'm trying to test out and find the best rom for battery life as both of the cm lollipop and marshmallow roms I've tried are about equal in terms of buttery-ness and just stick with that rom indefinitely.
Is general consensus that cm11 kit kat is far superior to the later cm roms in terms of battery life? Which exact rom would you choose as the last rom you flash onto your OPO ever?

oh screen on time 6 hours with browsing and light resource using gaming
every other rom falls short.
I have to say it was the november builds that got me that. with some tweaking. same tweaking I do on all roms
Sent from my Oneplus One using Tapatalk
I know, I know, YMMV. A similar question to this one was asked in late April. A LOT has happened on custom ROMs for the MXPE since then (thank you to the devs who continue to work on this phone). I wonder what ROM users think would yield the best battery life now.
most likely trupure or stock, with frankenclark and using the rephyp scripts
Stock gives the best battery life without significant kernel tweaking in most cases. Motorola at least got one thing right, they optimized the heck out of that kernel, too bad they used an LCD display panel that uses more battery than a few "normal" panels combined, nothing we can do about that.
As mentioned above, stock is definitely the best for battery life, but for me the gap has closed considerably.
In the last few months the CM based roms have gotten good enough that battery life is comparable to stock. I've been running AICP pretty much exclusively since August. Standby drain is a touch higher on AICP, but the difference is so small now that it doesn't make any real difference in how often I charge my phone.
I haven't spent any significant time on AOSP based roms recently, but they used to have pretty poor battery life when compared to stock. I'd lose like 10% battery just idling overnight vs. 2 - 3% on stock. AOSP might have improved a lot recently as well, because the CM based roms used to run that way too.

Which AICP ROM are you using? MM or N?

M when I wrote that, but N now.
If battery life is your primary concern N is a little better for me, except for an audio out wakelock I get. Streaming audio from Pandora or playing video in a browser tab and things like that keep my phone from getting back to sleep sometimes. Only seems like streaming does it to me. Playing local music doesn't do that. Takes a reboot to fix it. Not a huge problem once I figured out what to watch for.
With this phone, if you want everything to work right, and good consistent battery life, stock is the only way to go. No matter how much effort is put into the custom roms for this phone, there is always something wrong, and they require a ton of tweaking to get battery life to equal stock. So just use stock with xposed for customization for the best experience with this phone.

Yeah, battery life is the most important for me because of my heavy usage, but the problem with Stock & TruPure is that somehow my tether/hotspot is being tracked and it's limiting my speeds for that. On AOSP ROM's the tether/hotspot speeds are consistent with Sprint LTE. I have an average of 4 hours SOT daily and need to charge the phone 2-3 times fully a day on turbo charger.

If you are using a lot of data when you tether/hotspot, then you are not going to see any big differences in battery life regardless of ROMs or tweaks. Using a lot of mobile data via a hotspot, even with the screen off, will be heavy on the battery.

The only non-stock rom I have gotten good battery life, without having to do a ton of tweaking, is CrDroid. It has issues though, like taking 20 seconds to open the camera, and the stupid stuttering when changing orientation in youtube, that most of the custom roms have.
Why audio stutters when rotating display

The "stupid stuttering when changing orientation", if you are referring to the audio stutter, is because when you turn your phone in landscape to the right (with the volume buttons underneath) the Left and Right channels switch.
This "feature" Motorola put in Lollipop and then pulled out by them again in Marshmallow, it can be disabled by a simple edit into build.prop
Code:
ro.audio.monitorRotation = true, false
Or you could delete the whole line. Note that reflashing a custom rom zip replaces your build.prop file!
It doesn't happen on the stock rom, so it isn't a problem
I use AICP 11 or Resurrection Remix 5.7.4. I can get over two days on a charge. I don't do games or Bluetooth. Just mail, text, browser and music. See attached screenshot.
Custom ROM's are Ressurection Remix and CrDroid to give you the most battery (i don't know about AICP, never used it)
Stock ROM still gives me the best "user experience/battery life" since i don't mind recharging every night, but i get home with something next to 35%, then i "watch some videos/play some games" to get the battery down, till i go to bed it gets to something like 5%, then I leave it charging through the night
ps: not sure if it makes any difference, but i charge it with the 15w turbo charger that i bought in a Motorola Store not the 25w that came in the box, it heats to much with the 25w one, no heat at all in the 15w version

I've noticed the phone heats up more on the 25W charger, but it is nice in a pinch. I just charge in the evening with a 15W charger and go through the night without charging. I keep my 25W at work (for those slow days in which I watch movies/shows).

Tired of getting 2h30 SOT (plugging off power at 7 am and needing to plug on again at 2 pm) I decided to spend a few bucks on a new battery. I own a nexus 5x for 10 months, so I thought maybe battery has been underperforming.
I've ordered also the needed tools so I could do the job myself. Very easy by the way.
I was excited to see how the brand new battery would perform the next day. So I plugged off power at 7 am and 2 pm I needed to plug back on power (2h30 sot). YEAH, I HAD NO IMPROVE AT ALL with a new battery.
Maybe it's that I have too many apps (100 at about), but I'm not the one who lives with whatsapp only.
So in order to relieve the pain of not getting through out the day I've bought an S7 edge and now I can settle down so I know I will get past through the day. I dislike many things on S7, like the crap fingerprint sensor and the inconsistent physical home button, but I'll try to live with it. My next bet would be the Xperia XZ, so I'm still considering.
So it was an unburden, but I feel I can help someone out with this experience.
Have you tried a third rom or ex kernel?
im kinda in the same boat. just received my 2nd replacement battery today... gonna see how the battery compares tomorrow with stock unrooted. if no change i'll be trying purenexus + elementalx with Hawktail 1.2 profile.... such a struggle with this phone........
I don't know about you, but my typical work day I range from 6-7 hours with around 3.5 SoT average. That's pretty okay, given how low our batteries are for this phone. I use SimpleAOSP + Franco kernel.

I deal with it by having a 10000 mAh battery bank handy in my work bag or car.

I know.
Since I have updated to Nougat, I have only 2 to 3 SOT. Also with franco kernel or elemtalx no improvement, no matter which profile.
Marchmallow was better with the battery performance.
I will try pure nexus with custom kernel (franco or elementalx).
I'm also wondering why the Android operating system has such a big battery consumption according to "betterbatterystats".
Otherwise always it was the google services.

A few questions
Which time do you plug off and on to power again? I mean, how many hours do you stay off the wall outlet?
How many apps do you have installed?
Do you use antes app/kernel for the purpose off extending battery life?
Thanks!

Mostly every night. Sometimes it gets me to 2 days of battery life. Im pretty heavy user
I have about 50 apps but i am very careful about apps i install and use. When i am at home on wifi all day it gets me 6-7 hrs SOT. I used most of the kernels i found on the XDA but now i am settled with minimalistic ABC rom with implemented DU kernel.

at first i was getting the same results but i've made some major improvements by using airplane mode when at work with wifi, greenifying almost all of my apps, removing Fitbit sync/notifications, and using the greenify manual hiberate now widget. getting over 2hrs of SoT now but it's still nowhere near the results I've seen from others using PureNexus Rom + ElementalX kernel (Hawktail 1.2 profile)
The battery of my Nexus 5x (not rooted) seemed to be nearly dead. Smartphone shut down at 50%, and sometimes the battery went down from 80% to 30% within a minute. Then suddenly the mainboard of my Nexus died. The mainboard was replaced and Android was resetted. After this the battery works as if it's a new battery.

I dont really know what you do in order to get less than 3h SOT, or what brightness you run your device on, or what apps you have installed, or if you have NFC, location, Bluetooth or LTE turned on all the time, but on this phone it is the usage that determines battery life. I got a new Nexus 5x with an old battery and had the same results. Ordered a new battery for about 10$ and got arround 5-5:30 h of SOT with the same usage over arround 43 h of stand by withouth charging in between on full stock. You might want to check whata draining your battery or maybe you are a multitasker that streams music, types on FB, browses instagram all at the same time while the screen is on 40% brightness.
For me 5x battery sucks, i want to get 6p soon, but price is a little bit too high now so i must wait some time to buy.
Im using Jolla kernel now, with small cluster -> 3cores, 1,2GHZ and big cluster -> 2 core 768MHz max.All on zzmove. Battery is now improved, some times big cluster shuts off sometimes it's working, but performance is good for dialy use. Multitasking is fine, chrome web browsing also. ~ 4h 20mins of SOT, previously ~ 3h.
So i think NOW battery is really good for my 1yr old phone.
ROM and kernel are inconsequential to battery life in comparison to normal factors such as usage, settings and signal. Without reducing performance or functionality (GAPs) the most you could hope for is +10-20%, if even that.
Low screen time doesn't mean your battery life is bad as that's just one form of measuring battery life. If you do a lot of messaging and phone calls for instance you will never have long screen time as you need to actively be using the screen in order to increase SoT. If SoT is your only measure of battery life then you don't understand how it works.
I regularly see 5-6 hours SoT over 24+ hours without root or disabling much, as I use my phone for mostly browsing and streaming.
Post some screenshots in our Battery Thread and I will take a look. Replacing hardware should be the last option for improving battery life.
I think it's not about the battery, rom, kernel, settings, installed apps....
I think......it's only about the device
I tried EVERYTHING. changed battery, all android versions, tried without google account, kernels, profiles, custom roms, interactive settings, I don't even use many apps
my device has abnormal consumption. period.
I have 3 friends with n5x that do more than 4 hrs of screen on
mine does 2. and I can do nothing. it's just this
I don't know if warranty could cover such thing, it would be hard to detect on RMA since is very user related

Use Greenify to kill some apps that work in background. If you are Facebook /Messenger user, to maximise the battery life uninstall them and use alternative one like the lite version of these. "Naptime" for aggressive doze. Greenify and Naptime gave to my phone nice battery life.... From 100% - 2% I have 4:15 - 4:30 SOT . All stock 7.1.2

Hello,
is it just me or the battery on April's update drains a lot quicker than any previous updates?
I am currently using PureNexus 23/4 clean flash no mods and the battery is draining like crazy when playing some games or using it in general.
I know it depends on how are you using the phone, but this month is draining a bit faster than normally does.
I've used various ROMs with the April's update and are all the same.
I'm getting good battery life on latest DU.

i have the same feeling too..im on stock rom..i was getting between 4.5 to 5 hr sot most of the time, after aprils update getting only 4 hr.

Not on stock with EX Kernel. Check your battery capacity.
Not familiar with the Pure Nexus kernel. You might want to install a kernel auditor program like Ex Kernel Manager and check what your current kernel settings are. They could be set at a more performance oriented profile that eats battery faster. Since Pure Nexus is an Aosp Rom with its own kernel your experience on Pure Nexus wouldn't be applicable to people on other Roms. The best place to post your question would really be the Pure Nexus support thread.
LOL this question pops up after every update

Every single time people say their battery life decreases. Without fail. Im surprised by now their phone can even still hold charge since they say it drops with every update
I have a problem after that update. My 6p is stock and come after the beta 7.1.2, I full reset to factory and the drain is still here. Before if I left the phone overnight it drain 2-3% in 5h. Now it drain 13/15% ore more... And the battery interface doesn't report a specific app or internal process.

Check your battery capacity with Accubattery just to be sure it's not battery degradation, and install BBS or GSam to identify a wakelock, process or app sapping the battery.
Ok, thanks. I've installed Accu and gsam. I will see.
Hello, so okay I agree the title is a bit too dramatic but I'm veryyy frustrated, so basically I've owned three android smartphones so far:
Samsung galaxy grand prime ve
OnePlus X
OnePlus 5
(a steady increase in specs)
And I have a question: why can I not get reasonable battery performance on any phone? On my oneplus X when I bought it, for the first few months I used to get 2.5 SOT and then months later I started getting barely an hour (45mins). No matter which roms or kernels I flashed, it made no difference. Battery saver on? No difference Greenify on? A small negligible amount saved...
Infuriated by this I finally came to buy a OnePlus 5 which I thought would put an end to this. However here I am, full of my battery saving habits still in me (which I have done so much research on to make sure they don't make it worse, trust me, I could write a battery saving wiki) and with a draining oneplus 5 in my hands. I've tried different roms and different kernels but still the same bad problem : a DRAINING BATTERY... I can get through a day with 3hrs SOT if battery saving mode is turned on but with a normal stock OOS I could never. I don't understand... I've tried BBS and GSam to try and find the source of this and still nothing. So I have resorted to the unofficial RR which comes with Lighting kernel which I have underclocked and use with battery saving mode on (not android's, ex kernel manager's one). So I have finally turned to xda so someone may be able to help me.
Cheers
Ps: I don't believe I am a target of the NSA and I have a special phone that is customized to track me...
I'd be looking at the apps you haveinstalled... Sounds like there's something running in background eating away at your battery life...
Or it's an energy vampire living in your home....
I am getting radically different battery performance with this phone day to day. One day it'll get a solids like 6.5 hours SoT and others I'll get like 4. Various issues it seems. Shouldnt be that hard to get consistent battery life.
Agree with above. Only common denominator here is you / your apps. But, stock+magisk with franco kernel and the app naptime is enough for me to get 5-7h sot out a full battery, but usually it's half full when I go to bed
You've mentioned that you tried many things to resolve this but I'll go ahead and tell you the things I use to make my battery last a little longer (hopefully there is something useful for you)
- Greenify with Magisk Module
- ForceDoze
- Location almost always on battery saving mode
- Force Doze for Google Play Services Magisk Module
- if WiFi is on, data will be off, and if data is on, then WiFi is off
- Bluetooth is always off if nothing is connected to it
- brightness is kept relatively low/halfway at most, the majority of the time
Running unofficial RR with Lightning Kernel v11 (1000hz version)
All this combined gives me roughly 9-9.5 SOT (about 140 apps installed)
If I forgot to mention anything, I'll edit it in here!
I've been very careful with my apps and I can't see what could be causing, I've tried third party Facebook apps instead of the official one for example and there's nothing strange installed.

Infuriated by this I finally came to buy a OnePlus 5 which I thought would put an end to this. However here I am, full of my battery saving habits still in me (which I have done so much research on to make sure they don't make it worse, trust me, I could write a battery saving wiki) and with a draining oneplus 5 in my hands. I've tried different roms and different kernels but still the same bad problem : a DRAINING BATTERY... I can get through a day with 3hrs SOT if battery saving mode is turned on but with a normal stock OOS I could never. I don't understand... I've tried BBS and GSam to try and find the source of this and still nothing. So I have resorted to the unofficial RR which comes with Lighting kernel which I have underclocked and use with battery saving mode on (not android's, ex kernel manager's one). So I have finally turned to xda so someone may be able to help me.
Cheers
Ps: I don't believe I am a target of the NSA and I have a special phone that is customized to track me...

Try with basic steps. Factory reset then:
1) Have totally stock OP5 - no "battery saving tricks", no apps. Run a bit. What is SOT? If less then average of 5-6 hours - either you have a "curse"/NSA tracking you or defective hardware.
2) Install your "battery saving trick" one by one testing after now and then. Are there any improvements in SOT? If yes, then write your wiki page, share your findings . If not, write your wiki page and tell us what application is a culprit.
3) Rinse and repeat until no more application left to install or you got bored.
I'm getting incredibly poor battery life after the latest update. I haven't let it fully deplete yet so maybe it just needs recalibrated?

There`s alot of sstuff activated on your 1+5. Try turning it off and check the SoT afterwards. Also some people were complaining because their Android-System was consuming way too much energy.

Oops, I meant to follow up on this. Android System and Google Play were causing a lot of wakelocks. I cleared cache in the Google Play and Google Services apps sad now I'm back to my typical 6-7 hours SoT.
