Do you have any experience with the moto x? How does it all compare with the nexus 5? It's just the nexus is such a beautiful device =O
[Nexus 5 General] CitizenLee:
No, it pretty much solely depends on your set-up and usage.

What are you other settings...

Screen-on time?

Facebook sync interval?

Other app sync interval?

Screen brightness?

Wifi on or off?

Mobile data on or off?

Also, get Wakelock Detector and check for kernel and CPU wakelocks.

You'll see people talk about Greenify too, so if you're rooted get that and hibernate apps you don't use often.

My battery

Here are my results =) I'm on slimkat using faux123's custom kernel and have it underclocked on 1958 since it doesn't affect my performance. I believe my results are pretty average for battery capacity. So I am pretty happy with that.

I cannot post my picture results because I am a new user but here's what my results are:

Battery - 16%

On battery: 1D 0H 11min 17s on battery

Screen on time: 4H 45min 47s

Hmmm....I think there might be something defective with my device. I originally brought the Nexus the second day it came out, but lately the battery has been draining pretty quickly (or maybe I'm just starting to notice it more). For me, LTE seems to cause my phone to drain extremely quickly.

So today, I turned my data off and only sent a few text messages. 5 hours on battery and 95% battery life left. Not bad. Then I turned on LTE and started browsing Twitter and Chrome and within 40 minutes I'm down to nearly 80% and my phone is getting really hot. Plus, it feels like I'm dropping 1% every two minutes right now. I'm running stock rooted with Franco kernel. And my LTE signal is pretty strong. Idk, maybe this is normal and I'm just overreacting lol
[Nexus 5 General] :
You're still on pace for over 4 hours screen time. Depending how you are setup....doesn't seem that bad.

AMAZED!

My battery stats from my N5 running Stock Rom with franco.Kernel r47. 2419mhz OC with -50mv undervolt!
[Nexus 5 General] orrman:
i got 1 day 2 hours from 100% down to around 6% with 4:15 hours screen time.. is that considered good/fine for n5?

using stock rom + franco r47 (default settings there), auto brightness and most of the time with wifi connected.. everything syncing with push all day long..
[Nexus 5 General] :
I'd say that's good for your setup.

Low signal

If low signal is an issue then Cell Standby and Phone Idle will be prominent on the battery list. It really becomes an issue with grey and red signal (as seen on the graph) especially if you're phone is trying to use it.

My typical low signal 3G day. 20% brightness Sync off Gnow off.

Um guys? I have location set to battery saving. Max clock 1.7Ghz. Screen 50% brightness. Kangakat 3.3 and Purity kernel r96 (I heard it got better battery life than Franco, but I'd like to hear you guys' experiences). I have about half my apps greenified. Any ideas to boost my screen time?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Need screenshots from gsam or something to see maybe what's happening. The stock battery usage screen is kinda useless. ;)

Battery saver isn't the best on battery life actually, most say device only is. I don't know this first hand, as I only toggle location when I need it.

And 50% screen, always, is not a great thing. That's still a lot of drain. Go as dim as is comfortable. Or maybe even auto brightness. I use display brightness. Free on play store. Puts a customizable slider wherever you want it on the screen. Really handy.

But again ...let's see what gsam or something with more detail has to show. :)

Device only is by FAR the most battery efficient. Even when navigating its absurd how little battery it uses.
[Nexus 5 General] darkghost568:
Will do! Thanks guys, I'll report back soon :D
[Nexus 5 General] hakkers420:
Running completely stock, WiFi/location/data/sync always on, and use minimal brightness.. This is the best I've had for sot 5hrs usually anywhere between 4-4.5hrs
[Nexus 5 General] unsivil_audio:
Get rid of Lux, its known to be a battery killer. Use autobrightness with tweaked values (either through custom rom, or Xposed-GB). Also we may need to take a look at your idle cpu usage to see if you have a rogue app. I had a hell of a time running down my battery usage, but I finally figured its out. Carbon 4.4.2/ElementalX 2.9ghz/300mhz and I get a low/high battery usage of .7%/hr to 5.5%/hr depending on how active I am on my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Compared to today where I did much better. Only real difference is much less signal cut outs.
[Nexus 5 General] darkghost568:
Good advice about lux. I'll get rid of it after I complete this post. I'm pretty sure kangakat is just stock with a few tweaks like extended reboot and int.d scripts so it should preform as such. Any advice about kernels? Should I tweak load/frequency values?
[Nexus 5 General] darkghost568:

[Nexus 5 General] :
Its your 33 minutes searching for a signal. Weak, and especially no signal is probably the worst battery draining thing there is.

[Nexus 5 General] darkghost568:
Ok but is there anything that *I* can change that will potentially improve battery life?
[Nexus 5 General] :
And music playing? Hopefully. Otherwise you have a lot of held awake time...over 2 hours.

Played some games.

Location services on?

A lot of drain from bright screen too.

You've got a lit of battery draining activities happening. But no actual issue I don't think. Just explainable things.

Its just how you use your phone....and your setup.

I say enjoy it, but keep a charger handy. Unless your willing to make some sacrifices. See my second post I just made. :)

15min of games

15min of music

I've already uninstalled lux

And location is set to battery saving (because I use Google now and I want my cards)

Any recommended kernel setups? (underclocking/load-values)

Oh and I was having trouble having greenifying GCM apps and still having notifications pushed even though I'm on the pro version with that option enabled.

Any idea what the auto brightness Xposed module is called?
[Nexus 5 General] unsivil_audio:
Gravity Box has it. You don't have to use any of the other tweaks in there if you don't want to. Although you might try Smart Radio to switch to 2g on screen off and wifi.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Only 15 minutes of music? Then something held your phone awake for over 2 hours. That's not cool. Gsam has time held awake in app section. Should show what it was.

I never change kernel settings personally.

Battery saver in location services is not the best for battery life, device only is. And Google now costs some juice too.

I use "display brightness" from play store for a permanent brightness slider on my screen, wherever I want to put it and how big and how transparent. Great app to manually keep the screen where I want it.

Honestly, I think at best, if you change a couple things, you're looking at 3 to maybe 4 hours screen time with your usage and setup. I'd just enjoy your phone and resign yourself to having to charge a little more. Nothing you can do in poor service tho.....that's gonna eat battery and there's nothing you can do. Aside from airplane mode in poor service areas.

With "everything off", like I always run.....this is my phone at 56 left so far. But my setup isn't for everyone. I toggle things as I need them and manually control my screen....signal is usually pretty good too. :)

(That's display brightness to the right of the clock.... Can move it anywhere and resize it too)

Thanks :D

I think I'll use the GB status bar brightness mod

Oh and I'm having trouble greenifying GCM apps and still having notifications pushed to them even after I've enabled that option in settings.

CM with n3oHammer kernel.

undervolted slightly (by 75mA across the board) and using setcpu to set speed to 384Mhz when screen is off. I'm basically using the same settings on my Nexus 4 and it can never go past 1 day. Very impressed with the Nexus 5s battery!
[Nexus 5 General] Toepack24:
SOT?
[Nexus 5 General] ses1er:
I didn't get the SoT in a screenshot, but the phone was barely used :)
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
I'm concerned that my battery capacity has severely deteriorated.

I have terrible mobile signal so I know that's a factor, but I'm lucky to get 3 hours SOT with 12hr total on a full charge with normal use.

Battery monitor widget app has a calibration function which estimates your batteries actual capacity. On my N5 it's stating it's about 1500mAH as oppose to the theoretical 2300. I'm not convinced that's right but the same function on my new HTC M8 reports very close to advertised capacity so it can be accurate.

As there are so many variables affecting battery life, I've run a full drain with screen on 100% in airplane mode (to eliminate syncing apps and poor signal etc). I didn't interact with the phone during this time to keep it consistent. It took 6hrs for my phone to run flat.

I'd appreciate if others could do a similar test, even if it's just for say a couple of hours, noting the percentage loss so it can be compared. My test comes out at 17% loss per hour. Don't forget to turn keep screen awake on.

Many thanks

Hi this is my battery consuption.. From 20% i use thetering bluethoot.. Underclock 1700 MHz -300 MHz.. I use GPU underclock 200 MHz.. I use Franjo kernel per apps mode .. What do you think about underclock GPU 200 MHz .. Naturally for games use per apps mode.. Now i underclock to 1400 MHz .. Same GPU clock ..
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
You can just change the mah in the calibration settings. It's just not accurate. Perhaps false info from the kernel. It's not that your battery has been deteriorated
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
You're probably right but it'd be great if a couple of people with what they'd consider having good battery life could see what % they lose in airplane mode with screen on full brightness for even just an hour, just to put my mind at rest.

what's that battery drain? it's about 10%...

Stock kernel, stock ROM, some greenify...

Here are my results:

Location services are set to Battery Saver, but apparently device only is better? Most of this time was with the screen at lowest brightness; working third shift has advantages! :)

I do allow WiFi to scan even when off, how much improvement are people seeing when this is turned off?

What should I do to get more?
[Nexus 5 General] unsivil_audio:
Looks like you are doing great. If my calculations are right, you had a little over an hour of voice calls. Add that to your screen on time and everything looks good.
