Hey guys. First thread.
On average, under battery use, my (AMOLED) display uses around 75% of my battery. I can usually get around 3 hours of display time before my battery dies.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, I've got SetCPU on 245min 614max, ONDEMAND.
The kernel is untouched, but I will consider changing it soon once I find one thats good with battery life.
So then, how much display time do you all get? As this seems to be the main battery eater. This basically reflects on how long you've used the phone too.
By the way, brightness levels fluctuate between 75% and 100%. So yeah its always bright too.
Thanks in advance for the posts. It's appreciated
I've never found Battery Use to be accurate on Gingerbread roms for some reason. It always seems to take a high percentage (around 50%?) despite the phone being used maybe 10 minutes a day and lasting without a charge for up for 2 days 12 hours.
Froyo (when I had Sense) didn't have Display taking up a high percentage and looked more accurate of how the battery was being used.
From my personal experience and some googling i found out that a combination of juice defender and GSam battery monitor will drain your battery dramatically after some days/weeks (I have experienced it)
I was getting 5 hours+ on heavy usage but today these two apps sucked my battery off and my battery went from 70 to 40 in an hour or two.
After some internet surfing i found out this.
Please confirm

I am also getting high usage from the kernel on the stock rom. Sometimes, the battery goes down even faster than normal, but a reboot seems to bring it back to the usual consumption level.
I have also noticed my phone is awake quite a lot while on wifi, but I'm not sure if disabling it would improve anything.
I am seen huge battery drain on Nexus 7 2013 after flashing Android 6.0 factory image. Even battery usage option screen gives strange result. For example -- Total battery % used by all the apps just show 9%, while total battery left is only 73% after fully charging of 100%. So where is the remaining battery of 18% gone, which is not even showing up in battery uses option screen?
Attached herewith is screenshot of battery usage screen. And I really notice huge battery drain with Android 6.0 as compared to earlier Android 5.1.1.
Please help and let me know.
You're estimated time left @73% is 3 days, which means your tablet has been on and not charged in awhile. Nothing in your battery stats indicates any battery drain at all.

It just says 3 days remaining. But practically this never happens. Now overnight there is 30% battery drain without having used the tablet and it says now 43% battery remaining and one day left. And total usage mentioned by apps in battery usage screen is not even more than 15% now also. And if you add actual battery usage of all apps by clicking the indivisual battery usage details, total usage is not even 500 mAh. I believe Total Nexus 7 battery capacity is around 4000mAh.
So where is the battery use and drain is happening? This behavior I am seeing is after upgrading to Android 6.0.
I've got quite a bit of mystery drain as well. It runs flat for a little while when the display is off and it is idle for a long time, then suddenly it will just start draining ~2% per hour. The wifi lists as always on even though the policy is "Never". I have location services off, bluetooth off, NFC is off. Even more fun I put the tablet down 2 days ago at 75% battery and I picked it up this morning I picked it up and it was dead. No battery log at all either.
Hmm. I'm running stock rooted with ElementalX, and haven't had any battery issues.

Exactly the same issue here. Battery drains fast but battery stats shows no abnormality. I work for an Android phone manufacturer. My colleague who is in charge of the battery thing guesses some hardware module might have current leakage in sleep mode which software cannot detect.
I have wiped cache partition and now see massive battery usage by WiFi after overnight. Looks to be problem stated in the thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/NB0izQHuBaU;context-place=forum/nexus
Though this issue is raised for Nexus 5, I think it applies to Nexus 7 2013 Android 6.0 also.
You are not alone. My Nexus 7 is currently chewing through it's battery at a rate of knots. Even with the screen off it continues to use the battery as if it were on all the time. After wiping the cache partition things have become even weirder. Apps that have not been opened are using large percentages of the battery. I can barely get a few screen hours out of it.
Wondering if this thread has so few replies because people are checking the general section and seeing nothing about the issue so think it's just them?
The information on battery usage is so weird it's hard to believe that it's producing any useful or meaningful data.
Even I am surprised that no battery drain issue for Android 6.0 is reported for Nexus 7 2013 in this forum and not many members have replied to this thread.
Anyway for me it is a serious issue with absolutely no advantage in any sense for upgrading from Android 5.1.1 to Android 6.0 for Nexus 7 2013.
Here is one more screenshot of battery drain with no battery accounted for 27% (48% total battery drained - 21% battery used by apps reporting in attached screenshot).
I hope at least Google Android team is aware of this issue and knows how to resolve it.
Still amazed that there are only a handful of replies to this thread.
Got the System Update notification today. Size is of 2.2 MB. Downloaded but unfortunately battery charge was not enough to do the OTA install. Will charge the Nexus 7 2013 and install the OTA update. Let us hope that this OTA has fix for this battery drain issue. Will check and let you all know tomorrow.
Even new factory image for Android 6.0.0 build MRA58U is available now.
Same issue of battery drain with MRA58U OTA update also. 20% battery drained out during night within 7 hours when Nexus 7 2013 was idle without any activity.
Same issue here. Flashed 6.0 last weekend. 2/3% idle drain an hour while everything (bt, location, syncs, nfc) is off except wifi. Wifi keeps connected while set to go off when screen off. SoT off course hours less with the idle drain.
Same Issue battery Drain
Same issue battery drain ....i hope the lattest update send me by OTA this week resolves the problem...
I'm seeing great battery life now without root and Greenify or any third party solution but I have problems with the stats. If I let my n7 drain completely and charge it to 100% while shutdown I get +10h SOT (lowest brightness) but if I charge it from 1% without being shutdown I only get 8h SOT. Huge inconsistency in the stats, it's like the system misinterprets the stats and need a reset after every charge.
Hi!
I'm having the same problem with huge battery drain in sleep mode with my nexus 7 2013 after the update to android 6.0.1.
It is using 2-3% of battery per hour when in sleep mode, but the problem is, nothing is indicating what is causing this drain (in battery usage stats everything show as normal - no huge battery drain by the app or wifi, but something is still draining battery).
Prior to the update (Android 5) i was losing maybe 5-6% per 12 hours at most (cca. 0.5% per hour) and the tablet would last 3-4 days, now I have to charge it almost daily.
Any more news on this issue or possible solutions?
Thanks.
Nexus 7 2013 lte android 6.0.1 battery drain for me....
+1
I just turn off the wifi icon from the Quick Settings.
6.0.1 nexus 7 2013 wifi.
I downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 and my nexus after 24 hours in standby only drain 12% battery......the problem are android 5 and 6 the tab work great and faster whit kitkat no lag or other problem
Very bad google policy
So I also run an Moto X pure and love the thing. After Marshmallow dropped for my Sammy s6, I decided to switch back and try it out. I wanted to know how yall's experience has been and if your battery has been noticeably better. I switched to the Moto X Pure for the better battery life as my s6 seemed to only last me half a day of use at work. So how's it going?
I think the battery life is just as awful as it was on Lollipop. Doesn't seem to be any improvement there. That's just my opinion.
Standby battery has definately improved, screen on time has not changed that much
I had better battery life on 5.1.1 Screen on time is worse on 6.0.1
GF is running MM and complaining about battery life compared to LP. I haven't tested it or logged anything, just anecdotal from a heavy screentime and data user.
Hello guys
On my S6 Device idle takes 18% and cell standby takes 16% i think this is too much, can someone help me?
It for sure is a battery drainer... I just have the MM 6.0 on the phone and no apps whatsoever and with it just sitting there on the table with the phone doing nothing in 20 minutes it was down to 79% from being fully charged. I could go all day at work with phone in my pocket and after a 12 hour shift I would be at 93% battery on 5.1.1. I just can't leave my phone plugged in 24/7 because I might have to use it. I am going to install facebook and see what 20 minutes will do to my battery life. Sure enough it went down after install my battery was at 65% from 79% and now its at 45% with less than a half hour of facebook. so I figure its about a percent per minute ratio so my life expectancy is about 100 minutes with 6.0 on a fully charged battery.
Nice improvement for me. I never had much more that 1- 1.5 hrs SOT before getting about 15% battery. Now I see the same SOT time but have 50% battery left.
That's enough to get me through the day now.
I was jonesing to get the S7 as soon as my upgrade is do. Now I'm not so sure.
I'm feeling the same. I'd be loosing the IR blaster if I upgrade to the S7 and it's come in handy too many times to live without. My battery life has made living with the phone a more pleasant experience.
Reading through some battery threads I was told that the "proper" way to check your overnight drain was to charge up to 100% and not touch it until the next morning. I tried this last night and WiFi drain was in the 30% range (I used my phone before taking the screenshot which is why it's at 22%) with a total drop of 7% (100-93% over 8 hours).
Does this seem high?
I've got WiFi, NFC, battery saver location, mobile data, and double tap to wake on. The phone is rooted and I'm using a custom kernel (but I'm pretty sure it happened with the stock kernel too). I also have an Android Wear watch attached all night. On AOSP ROMs on my OP3T overnight drain was around 2% if I started at 100% and WiFi was never more than maybe 6% of total drain. Again, I'm not asking how to fix this, I'm just wondering if this is something that others are experiencing.
Thanks!
Mine dropped 2% over four hours of sleep. I'll try with battery saver on.
Mine averages about 3% in 8hrs with wifi on, I'll post a screenshot tomorrow, on freedomos using simplegx kernel
My WiFi drain is very low during idle. Like most flagships of this era.
mine is as same as op, but last night i charged it upto 74 and slept and when i got up after 6 hrs or so it dropped 2 %, strange ... maybe it's the way the phone is charged and calibrated for dash charging
I'm loosing 4-5% in 8 hours.

Thanks for these screenshots. Obviously I don't have nearly the SOT that you do in my screenshot, but it looks like if our SOTs were the same you'd probably have similar WiFi percent usage.
Mine's been surprisingly bad - at least, worse than my Moto G5S, Galaxy S8+ or iPhone 8 Plus were. I'm losing like 5-7% every four hours, my battery drain while connected to wifi at work is way worse than either of the other phones mentioned too.
All in all it's kind of disappointing considering how good the OP5T is in literally every other regard.

We may have similar WiFi usage. But my drain is about .5% per hour, overnight. I don't consider that high, and battery consumption has to be attributed to something. Here is my current usage since yesterday's charge.
On 8.0 the WiFi drain % is even lower, but idle drain per hour is the same. So it doesn't really matter.
Very bad.. Battery go. Down quickly in night..
My wifi drain is also really bad on the latest 4.7.4
Hope they release a fix soon...
Edit... I did a fresh install with stock 4.7.4 and it isn't as bad but still is present. At least it's more tolerable.

So I did another test last night (4.7.4 and SimpleGX kernel) and had 3% drain. With all the comments here I think the high percentage of WiFi is normal and probably not affecting battery life a lot. I am starting to think the kernel may be providing better results than stock 4.7.4 though since a lot of people are mentioning poor battery on 4.7.4.
I don't even know how long, all I can say is my battery drains 3% every 9 and a half hours. Both bluetooth and wifi was on. This is on the stock rom and kernal, not sure how you guys have such high battery drain... Are you guys sure it isn't another app hijacking your battery? Because from my experience the battery stats isn't always perfect. Sometimes I was told that it was my screen (on my old phone) in which it was actually a 3rd party app. After removing the app, my battery drain went a lot slower than usual.
Has anyone tried this toggle in Developer options?

Just tried that setting last night and it doesn't make much difference.
For all wondering I have an Android Wear device connected 24/7 and location set to battery saving. I also keep NFC and data on all night. I'm not using screen-off gestures though.
I wish it was only 7% or something like that on my OP5T.
I used to be one of you 3%-battery-"drain"-at-night-guys, until the official update to Oreo. Now it uses 36% in 6h38m, of which WiFi is reported being 29% (1044mah, despite 0m active and background usage reported). There is 2.8MB additional use according to the WiFi data usage report that was set to count from today, yet the numbers per app have decreased, so there goes reliability on that. I haven't added or removed any apps, only wiped cache after the update. On standby, it only takes 18 hours for it to drain, which used to be several days.
Another weird thing is that WiFi is terribly slow since the same update, but only on this device. (No numbers yet)
Right now my plan is to test all the mentioned related settings, as well as WiFi off, make screenshots after each nightly test, and finally do a complete wipe and perform the same tests with a minimum of apps, and then redo them again with my usual set of apps. It could still be one or more apps that misbehave on Oreo specifically I suppose, so if there's any indication for that, I will start eliminating apps one by one until I find the culprit.
