I getting only 1.4-2h battery life from last weeks

Tried different kernels still same

Tried mahdi.ROM with full wipe also but no luck

What mods you suggest and does that dalvik binaries help it?

Which one to use for Mahdi rom
[Nexus 5 General] :
Go to the link in my signature, read first 4 posts and post appropriate screen shots guys.

No one can offer anything but guesses otherwise. ?
[Nexus 5 General] proyatzu:
Some possib..

1) gps and/or gnow, they drains a lot so i keep them disabled

2) low signal area : common case of bttery drain

3) use greenify!! Helps a lot, i personally disabled facebook cuz it is a known battery drainer, and almost all gcm push notification app, except whatsapp+ and clash of clans

4) disable NFC, not really needed and battery drainer

5) on google sync settings, disable the sync option that u dont need such calendar google+ etc

I use purity with codeblue and i get easyly 5-6 h sot with heavy use.. Good luck:)
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Stock gives me 5hrs+ SOT...still bad when compared to my i9082 which gave 7-8hrs sot...
[Nexus 5 General] sr33kar:
Rom and kernel ??
[Nexus 5 General] sr33kar:
Whats the ROM and kernel ?????
[Nexus 5 General] :
Roms and kernels have very little to do with battery life. It's your setup and usage that matters.

Use whatever you like! ?

Mine is stock Mahdi but battery is draining while sleeping also
[Nexus 5 General] :
38 minutes of stats say nothing useful. Either do screen shots from the stock battery usage screen.

Try Gsam, as well as gsam root companion.. From play store. Then post screens, including the held awake and times waking device screens. And do them after going from 100 to like 10 percent left. Don't reboot, or Gsam resets.

Then we can help. ?
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I too have useless drains from 100 to 95 % .....but then idle drain becomes ~null
[Nexus 5 General] PunchTheLion:
7 Hours on screen time.

This is 100% real. Auto-brightness.

What actually happened though was I wrapped my earphones around the phone. I think somehow the cable slipped and turned the button on - for some reason the screen got stuck overnight. Woke up and it was on 17% before I took the screenshot charing at 18%. Pretty funny.

Real world scenario I struggle to get 4 hours SOT though.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
"Turned the button on"? :p
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
Here are some screens
[Nexus 5 General] :
Nothing seems out of place.... But again, you need to go from 100 to like 10 left for it to paint a better picture. ?
[Nexus 5 General] Janez33:
Can some1 help me please, something is draining my battery on nexus 5 and I cant figure it out...
[Nexus 5 General] :
Try the battery help thread link in my signature, and post the screen shots from post 4. You need to go from 100 to about 10 percent for an accurate picture of things. Then take the shots. And no reboots or Gsam will reset. ?
[Nexus 5 General] topgeardave:
I have question for those who usually get 6-7 hrs SOT, do you guys use Twitter, snapchat, Facebook and Email? Apps like Twitter and snapchat are massive battery hogs
[Nexus 5 General] :
It's probably difficult to get to 6 with those social apps. Definitely if you use them a lot during the day. If you don't use them a lot, Greenify them. Then maybe they won't hinder you.

Go to the thread in my signature on battery life, do everything in post 2 and 3 if you still have trouble... And your battery life will be maxed... But it will still depend on your usage. You could get only 4...depends what you do on your phone. ?
[Nexus 5 General] topgeardave:
I'm a heavy user of Twitter, Tweetcaster, Snapchat, Facebook and WhatsApp. Under H+ I get 3-4h SOT, and under wifi 4-5:30h SOT depending on how much I stream. In my opinion for usage them numbers are fine for me. I have minimal wakelocks due to greenifying apps I hardly use. As battery life is purely subjective I wanted to see if a heavy user has found a way to max out battery life :) After all it is a battery life thread haha
[Nexus 5 General] :
For your use, I'd say your doing just fine for sure! ?

A little help here
[Nexus 5 General] askor:
Hello, I have a problem with my battery life. I don't use sync, location and report location off, google now off, I'm setting brightness manual (almost time between 10-20% of brightness), settings in WIFI like scanning off , data off (most time on 2g with good signal strenght, sometimes use data and 3g when I want to check something outdoors). I'm almost not playing games and I can't get more than 3,5-4h of SOT with ~12 hours from 100-15% battery. I think I should get much more when I'm looking and results in this topic (something like ~30h from 100-15% and about 5h SOT)

I made full wipe in WUG toolkit, install fresh Slimkat 7.8 + Elementalx 1.05 (almost all stock , I disabled only all options like dt2w, something like sweep2wake/sleep, I don't remember, but generally all for great battery life). Full wipe and fresh instalation don't give me what I want.

Could someone look at my logs from Android battery, Gsam, Wakelock detector and betterbattery stats? Everything (in wakelog) looks ok, but I saw "wlan_wake" problem because it hit 565026 times. I think it's HUGE ammount and I think it is not normal.

Go to the battery help thread in my signature and please post the screen shots from post 4. The ones you have say very little. Also... You want to do screen shots after draining from 100 to about 10 percent left, to show a better picture of the issue. No reboots or Gsam will reset. ?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Wlan woke your device an absolute insane amount.

I think you have the WiFi issue, where the router or something on your network (pc probably) is polling your device a ridiculous amount of times.

Try rebooting the router. If that doesn't help. Disconnect every device on your network. Then restart one device at a time, for a couple hours, then another. Watch the wlan wakes closely. Until you see wlan go crazy.

I don't recall a permanent fix. And there may be more than one reason this can happen. But you can try a different router, or try flashing the stock firmware on your device and see if it's the same.

I've also read multicast can cause this. Or similar type programs.

It's the only thing in your screen shots that seems to stand out.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

To test this theory, keep WiFi off... See what happens with wlan. Using 2g,even 3 G can hurt battery life also... As it takes longer to load anything online. If your LTE, or 4g had a good signal, I'd stick with auto for your data setting.
[Nexus 5 General] PunishedSnake:
For me the 5ghz band made my wlan go crazy fine on 2.4ghz and every other mobile data
[Nexus 5 General] askor:
Ok, thank you very much for reply. Do you think is it possible that modem causes problems with wifi (I flashed the newest, but I didn't know is modem related with wifi).

I have MAC filtr on router and about 8 devices are added to my router (work almost 24/7 two pcs and for some hours 2 laptops).

I would like to spend all time on LTE and look how much my battery will work. One more time - thx.
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
Hi there - what do you mean by "crazy"? Are we talking battery-eating crazy or something else?
[Nexus 5 General] PunishedSnake:
Yes but once I put it back on the 2.4ghz WiFi wlan awake time went down hard.

Using wndr3700
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
For some reason 5GHz WiFi does that, other people have experienced it too.

ふかつどう
[Nexus 5 General] askor:
Hmm.. I put 2,4ghz always (because I have 2,4ghz router). I have to try how my phone will work on 5ghz with 2,4ghz from wifi (or don't work xd).

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]

hehe if I set 5ghz on phone it doesn't work with 2,4ghz rotuer - I'm shocked :P
[Nexus 5 General] mertzi:
A new record, not sure how since i haven't changed anything. Previous record was 5 days. Only 1h 28m SOT though.
[Nexus 5 General] :
That's pretty good. ?

I think tops, not touching the phone at all... Standby would be around 10 days or so with say 0.4 percent drain per hour .

7 days with 1 1/2 screen hours is pretty good. ?

Most use their phone more in half a day then you do in 7 days tho. Lol
[Nexus 5 General] mertzi:
Yep I have a Nexus 7 which does all the heavy work but battery is awesome on that too. But it's nice to have standby times similar to what you got back in the dumbphone era. On my SGS3 I got 2 days, 3 on rare occasions.
[Nexus 5 General] PavloAsto:
My record equals 4 days, but generally my nexus keeps battery through 2 days.

I work every day 8h, so I always charge it each day.
[Nexus 5 General] PunishedSnake:
Is 6hr sot possible
[Nexus 5 General] askor:
If I put my phone near wifi (without one wall to my room this ammount is much lower). I have about 8 devices connected to wifi so it's hard to check it because not all belongs to me ;p Maybe it is because I have mac filter?
[Nexus 5 General] Silkeyway:
Finally managed to go an entire day without torturing my phone playing Ingress :D

Pictures in here: http://imgur.com/a/cUAgV - forgot the detailed Android battery graph and cell reception :( anyway, I have basically always 100% 3G at work

App usage:

WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger all day as messages come in

Clash of Clans during work breaks and at home

~30mins of streaming music to my car via bluetooth

~1hr of streaming youtube videos to my TV using streambels app

some serious reddit browsing at home

Networks:

3G at work due to excellent coverage, 4G when outside because of the superior 800MHz coverage in my rural area, WiFi at home.

Modifications:

See signature. Additionally I blocked wakelocks, wakeups and location for Google Play Services through AppOps, and greenified a bunch of offenders, but I think that's about it. No fancy tasker systems or anything.

I guess this is about as good as it gets given my usage pattern, right?
[Nexus 5 General] dark.knight.0000:
The maximum i have achieved with my nexus 5 is 5 hours and 47 minutes.

I was on stock with franco kernel r.61 and had undervolved to -75mv from default stock setting.

I was mostly on wifi and a bit on data so idk about the battery life on mobile data entirely and brightness was @25 percent.

whatsapp, fb, twitter was always active, a bit of browsing, no gps, and youtube for almost 2 hrs.

I have tested a lot of kernel's but franco's kernel is the best for battery by far.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yes. Go to the battery thread in my signature. See post 4 for screen shot samples first. Then read the first 3 posts to see how. ?

Depends on your usage patterns and signal strength though. If you frequently use cpu heavy apps... Then probably not gonna happen.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Gaming kind of throws everything off. It's hard to predict what kind of battery life one should get when you add gaming into the mix. However for the amount of data you said was used, plus gaming and what seems to be locations services (or perhaps just auto syncs?) I'd say you're looking at fairly typical battery life for your situation, with no obvious issues to be seen.

Did you find the setting to disable the banner ads on your Reddit is Fun app? The developer was kind enough to include that option even for free users as ads in general can drain quite a bit.
[Nexus 5 General] peter_90:
Hy guys,

Are there any larger capacity batteries compatible with the N5? A 3000mAh one would be nice :).

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 5 General] :
No. There may be some alternatives on eBay or somewhere, but you're gambling on whether they are any better or even work. Plus your warranty will be gone as soon as you switch them.
[Nexus 5 General] peter_90:
Yeah, i saw a few adds online, but they look kinda... "dodgy".

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Silkeyway:
1) Got to be auto sync for my calendar, which I really need. No turning off this one. And thanks for the summary, that's really about what I thought looking at those results. So I'll be happy :D

2) I did quite some time ago, but the developer being so kind stopped me from disabling the ads :laugh: I can't remember, is there a donation option too? I'll have a look and I guess I'll go that way if possible. I don't want to be cheap on good apps all the time ...
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Yeup it's called reddit is fun golden platinum. I never see ads on the free version though. There is an option to enable the ads along with pro features in the settings but I have it unchecked. This is how free aps should work IMO.

Post 2 and 3 in the Battery thread in my signature have a lot of tips for getting the most out of your battery. ?

Kernel and rom combos will only make a minor difference. It's setup, usage and signal strength that define your battery life. ? (I'm guessing you already know that ?)
[Nexus 5 General] marjune23:
Yes mate, we do all know battery life still depends on how we use our phone...

But I rather use my phone as a smartphone (sync everything) than using it as an ordinary phone (nokia days)...

I will look on your siggy mate for and will try...

Am sure it will boost our phone battery...

Thanks mate for the tips...highfive...
[Nexus 5 General] :
Not every tip in the thread is for everyone... But the info is all laid out.

I'm a fan of toggles. On when I need it, off when I don't. I sync... But the number one culprit is usually location services. It's involved in most issues or poor times. ?

Everyone is different. That's for sure. But nothing in that thread will hurt... And every bit helps. ?
[Nexus 5 General] Vivek_Neel:
Haha.. Yes mate.

BTW am a user who uses his phone only for surfing/texting/ and few mails.

Just rooting has no bearing on battery life. Doing something to the phone after you root can, but not just rooting it. ?
[Nexus 5 General] hellshinoda:
Just a quick question. Im learning to use greenify and I already have the donation version. I am also aware that i should not greenify apps such as phone and message. But one thing is that should I greenify all apps cause Im afraid it will increase launching times of those apps. For example, i use Facebook alot and dont want it to mess with my phone when the screen is sleeping. But if I greenify it, everytime I open the apps, it take longer to be fully operated.
[Nexus 5 General] Ubichinon:
I barely get 4 hours and wonder how people get 6 hours of screen time...

Im undervolted by -50 mV and -75 on higher freqs, I underclocked it to 1.9 GHz, i use brightness at 20%, only Wifi, sync enabled, no data, no locations, etc. Cant understand how people get 6+ hours of SoT...
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Undervolt doesnt save much battery, its mainly done to reduce heat. Underclocking could possibly be using more battery if you use your device heavily. I have my brightness at 1%-10% indoors, 25% outdoors (auto brightness and I'm mostly indoors). Syncs "can" drain battery. You might have a slight wakelock here or there, but you battery isn't the worst possible. Battery help thread linked in my signature if you feel as if you can get a bit more.
[Nexus 5 General] Laggalot:

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Perhaps it was less than 25min of voice calls? I think that would've used at least 2%. Probably also worth mentioning that you had the internet connection disabled since that makes a huge difference in battery drain.
