Now break 7. ?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Probably this weekend when I'm constantly on WiFi :)

Which is more battery friendly? 25%-50% WiFi signal or 100% 3G signal? Maybe I should do some overnight idle tests?

#AndroidL
[Nexus 5 General] :
3g? I'd say 100% wifi. I think only lte with a strong signal can compete with WiFi. From weekday I've seen anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Personally I never felt a difference regarding WiFi signal, whether it was one bar or full lol.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Oh, sorry signal strength. Lol I usually only have a couple WiFi bars, and it doesn't seem to hurt my times.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Yea my options are weird. At home I only get full 3G in my house and in my room WiFi is real weak. But at work I have phenomenal LTE Signal. WiFi at work is 50%-75%

Aren't referral links against the rules or something, or am I thinking of another site lol.

Also, if your PC has a WiFi card but you're using an Ethernet cable for your network instead, you can use the PC's WiFi card as an access point anyways
[Nexus 5 General] pookipsy:
Here's a mystery.

Lg's original 1.2 charger gives me smaller charge rate against htc original 1.0 charger.. WTH?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
1. I think it's fine on XDA

2. I know and i do use that. But lappy is out of commission. Putting in a new Mobo. My desktop is Ethernet only.

Just got this new desktop and so my beast lappy is now going to be a Linux server.

People who use their phones as SMARTPHONES, with sync and wifi or 3g/4g on (or both) what are your on screen time? On my note 2 I get easily 4hrs without 3g/4g only wifi, sync and 50% brightness.

edit: and also all stock nexus 5...not modified with roms, (rooted accepted as I use greenify) my note 2 is stock only rooted
[Nexus 5 General] :
Everyone's usage and setup are different... But if you generally have "everything on", including location services... Anywhere from 3 to 5 hours, your usage depending, is about "normal". ?

[Nexus 5 General] :
You're a brave one if you flash an unknown file from a member with 8 posts . (not to offend new member) Perhaps give some thought.

There's plenty of kernel choices in our Dev sections. And changing from one to another will have small battery differences at best. ?

It's your device.... But I'd advise caution. ?
[Nexus 5 General] SergioKravtsov:
I am on xda about 2 years, but didn't need any account before because I could download and test all roms and kernels. Registered after moving to Canada. You can believe me, this kernel is extremely good in battery life(but not so smooth btw)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Members can flash whatever they like, at their own risk.

But for me, if it doesn't have a thread on XDA, I don't bother. ;)

Sorry....just there are enough options here on the site for me, plus I trust the feedback I read here from my fellow members. I can't read feedback on a kernel I know nothing about, has no thread here...and just a link to download was provided. It's just a little too reckless for me. And where will members find support if they have issues??? Not on XDA obviously. Then where??

Hope you see my points.

And once again i will say, battery life is determined by setup and usage...and signal. Any Rom or Kernel combo can give great or lousy battery life....depends on setup and usage. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] SergioKravtsov:
This kernel is made by one russian developer and actually he has thread on 4pda. With his setup that kernel worked 13 hours (it seems like maximum of apps turned off and minimal brightness). What is the coolest thing in that kernel - phone sleeps like a baby without losing any percent for more than 8 hours. (Of course if there were no weird wakelocks by some google stuff with which somebody, like me, has some problems)

Anyway, I could give people who downloaded it some advices if needed. I had only problem when using it on CM and in Multirom as kernel for second rom.

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOADED IT

It didn't work for me in Multirom and CM, so I would not recommend you to try that either.
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
Here are my results after enabling location reporting. Yes, I said enabling... I know this seems like the opposite to what is suggested but since I have enabled location reporting (but not locating history) my phone has been idling a lot better. I realise this shouldn't be the case but I presume there is a bug somewhere... trust me, it's the only thing I changed since my idle time has doubled.

For reference, this is with stock 4.4.4 unrooted, WiFi and 4g on (though 90% on WiFi), auto-brightness, Google now off, a fair amount of stuff syncing (including WhatsApp, Viber, Google but not Facebook) and also about 2 hours of Spotify over Bluetooth.

[Nexus 5 General] golfinggino:
i owned 3 galaxy s4's and sold them all as they all had terrible battery life - even with custom rom / kernel and undervolted - i could not get through a day with them, i really dont know how the nexus 5 compares as i have only had it for a day and dont use it much just picked it up to check out android 4.4 doubt i will keep it as it is too small - it is a really nice device but i will stick with my xperia ultra for now

[Nexus 5 General] JesusFreak316:
Whoops, uploaded one twice. 3.5 hours. :(

I decided to test only screen on time after a full charge. Stock rooted with Franco kernel #7 untweaked. Maybe his kernel has worse battery life than stock?
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm using faux and I'm getting great battery. 5 to 5.5 hours screen on time. Maybe try a different kernel

[Nexus 5 General] cyburke:
pretty sure the battery, camera, weak speaker, and other issues with the N5 will have me selling this device sooner rather than later.

i just cannot stand having a phone that leaves the charger at 7:30am and is near death by 8pm.. what if i wanted to stay out later for the evening and come home at midnight?

i'm not a phone hog either - had about 1:40 mins of talk time today, less than two hours screen time, and was in deep sleep for quite a bit. have location turned to "battery saving" (cell and wifi) and not gps.

also use greenify to freeze apps like facebook, etc when i'm not using them. also have lux auto brightness which dims the screen even more than stock android auto brightness.

even with all of that the phone lasted ~13.something hours today before begging for a plug.

i'm either going to get the Xperia Z1 or the 5S.. just not looking forward to the small screen on the iPhone, but the camera, speaker, etc are all better on it!
[Nexus 5 General] w1ndhawk:
You could try a custom kernel and see if it helps if you decide not to sell.

Yeah but its true, the one thing that bugs me about nexus phones is the battery life. They should provide an option at 50$ extra for a bigger battery :P
[Nexus 5 General] compchick813:
Well I managed to hit 6 hrs screen on time. Not bad considering my signal strength most of the day.

Does anyone know an app that automatically toggles 4g to 3g or 2g when connected to wifi? my lte reception is really bad at home :/
[Nexus 5 General] pchoi94:
can you please elaborate, I can't find the setting you're talking about... thanks!

*wifi always on

*location set to battery savings

*regular use of social networking apps

*made my usual phone calls

*played some demanding games

should I be happy or not?
[Nexus 5 General] jahfry:
My battery was almost that awful after my first charge. Not much better on my 2nd charge. I'm on my 3rd charge now after rooting and doing a battery calibration and things -seem- to be much better but I'll know for sure in a day or so.

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Brightness based on time of day, sync when charging, and WiFi toggles based on cell tower locations. Along with Locations off this works out to a fairly low stand by drain.

Those of you that get minimal to no standby drain, do you do anything special to achieve this? Ie sync off, etc? Seems like I'm at minimal 2-4% drain per hour with wifi off. Can't figure out why :( I have one Google account syncing, email every 60 minutes on exchange syncing, Snapchat whatsapp and instagram installed and a few other utility apps (none that run in the background) installed on slimkat 8. The only apps running in memory are whatsapp and Google things. Location reporting is on and I do use Google now. I have minimal to no wakelocks.

Do those of you with minimal screen off drain use Google now? I can post more details and Screenshots later, I'm on my n7 right now with no access to recent Screenshots. Thanks guys!

Edit: I get 3ish hours SOT with max 15-16 hours total time. This is after uninstalling most of my apps to try to figure out why my battery life sucks lol
[Nexus 5 General] :
See the battery thread in my signature. Read first 4 posts and post screen shots as recommended in post 4.

Without screenshots, you will get nothing but guesses. ?

I read it lol. I was looking for general advice but I suppose I should probably just do a proper post on it and my setup haha.
[Nexus 5 General] :
There's no general advice that can help...2 to 4 percent per hour drain is just silly....you must have some terrible wakelocks, or very poor signal on data or something. That's not just from a battery hungry setup....which you do seem to have. .but still, drain shouldn't be that bad.

Well, it's good you are trying. Seriously. ?

However, that doesn't help. None of the stock battery usage screens really do.

Try gsam (with gsam root companion) and post screen shots from it...especially held awake time and times waking device. Or use wakelock detector. I'm not sure if either are compatible with L... But it's the only way we will see anything useful.

If you haven't rooted or those apps don't work... Then it's going to be tough to find the cause.

Oh...and try going from 100 down to about 10 or so left.. then take shots. No reboots during, or stats reset. Need a good long discharge to really get a good idea what's happening. ?

Absolutely the same for me on 6.1, no drain. See battery help thread, link in my signature. Web view if you're on a mobile client.
[Nexus 5 General] :
See if post 3 in the battery help thread in my signature can help. It's likely a location services issue. Almost always is.

Try location off completely, or post 3 helps with disabling certain parts only.

Hello guys! Wassup?

Well, Im a new user of nexus 5, and I love this phone, but, looking for some battery test and results of any peoples, i think my battery has some issue. Can someone help me?

I made a test yesterday. I played boom beach (game looks like clash of titans), used facebook app/messenger and whatsapp only and I got a insatisfatory result from it. I'll post some screen shots of the results. How i'm a newest user, i dont know if this result is satisfatory or not for this phone, i hope someone can help me ?

Apps used: boom beach, facebook, messenger, whatsapp, chrome and play store

No root, stock only, no mobile data actived only wifi use. Bluetooth, gps off and brightness low
[Nexus 5 General] :
For your setup and usage... 4+ screen on hours is pretty good.

I doubt you have an issue. ?
[Nexus 5 General] Polimante:
Really? I though it's a bad perfomance of phone because i saw some test with 1d and 6 hours on screen, with brighness on auto, mobile data, etc...

I doesnt played so much, 30 minutes max...

So, its normal i have a consume of 1% in 2, 3 minutes?
[Nexus 5 General] :
You used it straight for 4 plus hours... That's going to drain the phone fast. You could use it for 4 hours spread out over a day also.

It's screen on time that matters more than total time.
[Nexus 5 General] Polimante:
In normal days, I use 20~22 hours in battery and 4 hours screen, with 30% more or less battery. But without mobile data in some part of the day. That guy who posted his test, he used 6h screen, 15h total with more or less 1 hour on games, thats why i thought my battery has some issue... I already tried to change the runtime to art to try improve consume, but i dont see changes on it...
[Nexus 5 General] :
Everyone has different usage and setup... 4 hours isn't bad at all.

My battery has been worse with the new dev preview too. I started uninstalling stuff to try to remedy it, first with Facebook Messenger and then with Light Manager. The first night had me losing 3% overnight but I lost 30% the night after. As for actually using the phone, I feel the % drops fairly quickly too. I was content with Lollipop + Nexus 5 as my device for a few more months but at this rate, I may just jump to the Nexus 6 if this is going to be the case.
