I would be very pleased to get 4 hours SoT, though I've never really had much luck with batteries.

No lag here. No mention on all the reviews

Was actually really impressed by how the Nexus 6P didn't lag at all...
Soldato
Agreed, no lag on mine. Are you sure you and your friends don't have some apps causing problems?

I was seriously considering the 6P or the Moto X Force, moving up from a Moto X 2014. However, a recent CPW deal pushed me to go for the Force.
I'm routinely getting 6+ hours of screen on time (lots of YouTube and web browsing) and also with many hours poor signal due to where I live, and have yet to kill it in a day.
I realise that it's not exactly a looker, but if it's battery life you want and a nigh-pure Android experience, there aren't many choices out there.
Then you're doing something wrong. A rogue app maybe?
Another lag free N6P user (since November) here. Best phone I've ever had, love the size, the screen, the battery life and the no lag stock Android experience.
On a related note, anyone use the Facebook app and uninstalled it? Threres been a big thing recently about how its a battery drain and uninstalling it makes a very noticable difference. (I don't use it so have no first hand experience)

I uninstalled it and now just use the mobile browser version. I must be honest I've not seen a nticeable improvement in battery life. I routinely get between 3 and 4 hours SOT a day.

Not a n6p user (still think it'll be too big for my pockets but no other phone is as good everywhere else) but I switched to metal from the fb app and it definitely made a big difference
Soldato
OK, here goes
Soldato
Yep - Using Metal - Does exactly what I want, seems lighter too.
Battery life has always been acceptable for me though, even with moderate gaming.

Facebook doesn't appear anywhere on the battery stats for me, but I hardly use it unless I get a notification. I gave Metal a go but it takes about 4 times longer to open a Facebook pic, and Fenix is so damn good for Twitter.

I switched to Metal too. Couldn't be sure of battery improvements, I think it's a little better though.
I think that's part of the problem. I don't think it ever does, even when draining the battery. I could be wrong though. Maybe it just uses Android resources more (location and such) so technically they use the battery, not the Facebook app itself?

5 hours SOT - 540mha.
Web browsing and YouTube video. Don't game. Battery's on 30%. It says I've got two hours left.

Hey guys,I've just got myself a 6p and the one thing that's confusing me is the notification light, I've turned it on in the srttjbgs, but for gmail,missed calls etc it doesn't work at all, ambient display turned off too, I did install lightflow to test and it did work eventually but without it it doesnt work at all....any ideas guys.
Soldato
Only idea is assigning colours the LED can't display?
I remember readon it can only output particular colours - I've not noticed any issues with LightManager (Lightflow apparently made the ambient display trigger)

nope. bare bones, all apps removed. i've seen it on a number of 6p devices. i think lots havn't noticed it because they don't want to. definatly the last nexus device for my group of friends thats for sure
Soldato
I only used lightflow to test but natively without it, the light aint blinking with gmail,SMS,missed call notifications, like other phones it would blink instantly this won't blink at all .
Soldato
Yeah, we haven't noticed it because we don't want to spoil our shiny, new expensive toy.
Remember your audience - half the user base of the mobiles section change phones every time a new flagship is released! While some will be attached a certain brand or phone, some others couldn't care less.Anyway, mine is buttery smooth too. My only gripe is that it's also buttery smooth when trying to pick it up...
