Yeah I also have Nova (Beta) Yeah google location is completely off (history reporting) BT and Google Voice are off. I also have BBS installed and no wakelock. I have great deep sleep (1% over 7 hours) just SOT is driving me nuts. Did a fresh install of Stock Image, then install Rom and Kernel. Not a heavy user, just surfing the net and texting about 4+ hrs of SOT.
[Nexus 5 General] nyyankees1237:
Pretty good day for me. Played music for 20 mins, 5 mins of calls, 1:45 sot with 66% left after almost 12 hour. All on WiFi though.

PSX v1 with Linaro FK 13. ART. 10% brightness.
[Nexus 5 General] luisvilla1993:
What about brightness?? If im at home I set it at 10%, so maybe that's why im getting better SOT. When I go out I usallly set it it at 50%.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
15% to 20% max (disable auto brightness). I just think at the end of the day, this is the best i could do on my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] theesotericone:
That. If I turn brightness down I can get a lot more screen on then if I leave it up. These are from Asylum Omni(depricated:crying:) and Fauxstable2m. Wifi on all the time, sync on, location on high, gps on, google now off. No heavy gaming just email and texting. About half of this is on wifi the other half on cell. Brightness left way down unless I needed to see better.

EDIT. Give me a minute. Attachement uploads are failing on me right now. lol
[Nexus 5 General] luisvilla1993:
Don't know what else to tell you.... Friday I got 5 hours of SOT while on LTE and brightness around 30%. By the time i got home my battery was down to about 44%, with 2:40 SOT. The rest of the time i was on wifi again
[Nexus 5 General] StrizzMatik:
Moderate surfing and texting at work, mainly used at home later for a couple hours. Cataclysm ROM with Trinity Kernel 11/22 build, Dalvik lib optimizations.

I plan on upgrading from and Evo 4G.

The battery life on this seems out-worldly. I can't wait.
[Nexus 5 General] Androman7:
I usually get around 20 hours on average on Nexus 5, but sometimes, when take a lot of calls and play games it goes down to 12-13 hours. That is not really convenient, so I'm thinking about getting a powerbank
[Nexus 5 General] m52 power!:
I have ZERO signal at work so on work days I get about 12 hours of battery usage. :(

[Nexus 5 General] coolguy949:
Looks like Google Services is going crazy again for me today. 32% of my battery drain for no reason. All location sharing is off. I use Google Now regularly so I don't want to disable it. What's funny is that today I've only used it 1-2 times. Here we go again...
[Nexus 5 General] frarredo:
These are what mine look like I usually Dont get through a full day without a recharge. =(
[Nexus 5 General] venturizhou:
This is my typical battery life over past couple of days I assume that I have a couple of wakelocks.

I'm currently using stock ROM and Franco r14

Location and Google now is off.

My only sync is Gmail

I limit my max frequency to 1574 and UV by -75

WiFi scanning is off as well.

I also have Wi-Fi turned off when I deep sleep, otherwise it would also consume around 20-25%

[Nexus 5 General] cholin:
I'm extremely happy with my battery life!
[Nexus 5 General] jacob_woolf:
My battery life was somewhat abysmal, less than 8 hours with average use. I was getting about 10% drain/hour even if it was just sitting there, screen off.

I switched to franco r14 and Purity ROM and standby time is WAY better. Battery drain while using it (screen on, checking social networks, texting, games, etc) is about the same, but the battery almost doesn't drain at all when on standby. I got almost 12 hours today with normal use. My phone ends up searching for signal a large part of the day too because I don't get service in school.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm about to flash over to the Paranoid Android alpha which was just posted, which means I also have to switch to Bricked kernel (this alpha is CM based, still waiting for official builds which should be AOSP+). We'll see how battery life is with those.
[Nexus 5 General] fugn:
Results for today after flashing motoX Dalvik libraries.
[Nexus 5 General] rmhumtex97:
My results today. Best I've gotten. Before this I had never gotten over 5 hours. I had barely gotten over 4hr. Running cataclysm and Franco r12. Avg 10% brightness. Some stuff syncing (gmail, twitter, Facebook, etc.) 30 mins of phone calls, lots of twitter and YouTube. Mostly on lte and hspa. WiFi for maybe 30 mins. I'm impressed
[Nexus 5 General] pr4wn3r:
Thats mine. Didnt use it much, as you can see, just a bit of listening to music, reading news, only a little bit of playing
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Super impressed with the battery. Here was a normal day yesterday. My current setup is running full stock. Auto brightness on. All syncing on. I do not shut anything off except location and history reporting which I am not sure if it makes a difference. I am going to turn it back on again and see if my device continues to sleep the way it has been doing.

Also, for GPS I have it in high accuracy. I do not see a difference from when I had it on the battery saving option.

Also, I am using Nova Launcher as I was not sure if any of the Android Wakelocks were due to their new launcher. All I have to say is my battery is performing like a champ now which is not how I felt in the beginning.
[Nexus 5 General] micflair:
Ugh I'm getting sick of this battery. Average day today, phone fully charged. Send a few texts and check email etc for 10mins before work. Same again during break and dinner. Come home and battery is almost dead.

Google now voice activation turned off. WiFi off. Location stuff turned off. The battery stats say its the OS running it down but i cant get my head round it grr!
[Nexus 5 General] cobyman7035:
1) is that with DATA on all the time? what was your SOT screen on time?

2) u must have some 'rogue' app draining battery, install betterbatterystats

3) are u fully stock rom , stock kernel?

if yes, try franco kernel
[Nexus 5 General] brianfields33:
I just found this app. See if it helps.

Hi mate. Yeah fully stock everything. The data isn't on all the time no.. Gonna try find the rouge app keeping it awake all the time, must be that! Screen on time in minimal also.

[Nexus 5 General] rmhumtex97:
This is just the start to my day.. Not bad if it keeps up id be looking at about 8 to 9h SOT because I'm at 90%
[Nexus 5 General] MWilkenson:
Wow! What settings are you running?
[Nexus 5 General] rmhumtex97:
Been using WiFi most of the time, Brightness at 3%, syncing some stuff (gmail, twitter, Facebook etc.) Location on battery saving but location reporting off. I'm greenifying a few apps but that's it. Also Google now on
[Nexus 5 General] Natakranta:
6h15min SOT on almost 11h of usage :D

All on WiFi apart of two times half an hour on 3G when commuting.

Screen brightness set to 20%

Location on battery saving. Location history & reporting off.

GPS off. BT off. Google Now off.

All on great Cataclysm Nov.21 with ElementalX karnel and Moto X dalvik patch.

ROM feature "smart radio" is switching from 3G to 2G when phone is on WiFi or when screen is off.

All time browsing xda on Dolphin browser with Dolphin Jetpack enabled.

The tiny jump at the end of battery percentage graph is when I got back home and phone warmed up to room temperature.

Previously on stock and on different custom ROMs I was getting between 3 and 4 hours SOT.

The huge jump to over 6h SOT was when I replaced Opera with Dolphin as my default browser.

Opera as nice as it is appeared to be awful battery hog. It was using almost as much battery as screen itself.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
I get bout 45 mins of SOT @90%, but end up only getting 4 hrs from 90% to 0%. That's the part I don't understand. It goes to crap after 90% and I'm doing the same things (surfing and texting and listening to music).
[Nexus 5 General] rmhumtex97:
Yep I'm going to experience the same thing. I'm at 80% and now and I've been doing the same thing and my SOT is at 1h 30m
[Nexus 5 General] P.Mobile:

[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
It's not rocket science. Lithium ion batteries don't discharge in a linear manner.

Now im impressed. Entire day on LTE, about 2 hours of music, couple of youtube videos, 30 minutes on vine, 10 minutes of voice calls, sync on, gps, off and lots of texting and whatsapp.. If the camera software wasn't complete crap, this phone would be close to perfect
[Nexus 5 General] BTT8:
Second night in a row....

Night 1: My N5 was 100% when I fell asleep. 7 hours later, it was down to 33%.

Night 2: At 100% when I fell asleep. 7 hours later, it was down 57%.

First night, Android OS was eating 71% of the battery and kept the device awake.

Second night, NOTHING from what I saw (betterbatterystats, or from the battery screen) was keeping the device awake. No noticeable wakelocks, no Android OS, no nothing. Yet it drained ~43% within 7 hours. What.The.F....?

This is running stock rom and kernal, rooted. I've set Tasker to turn off auto-sync when I sleep and to lower the ringtone to 1. Otherwise, nothing else.

What the hecks is going on?
[Nexus 5 General] letmedanz:
Am getting TERRIBLE battery life :(

5 hrs at the max to run from 100% to 0%

i have to carry a charger everywhere!

Running stock kernel on cataclysm..

3G on all day... texting and just general phone usage..

just a couple of calls

no videos, gaming etc.

any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] paperWastage:
wipe and restore original ROM/firmware from google (search on how to do it)

perhaps the first-boot update when you initially messed something up
[Nexus 5 General] BTT8:
I think I'll just flash TWRP, and flash Cataclysm. The time has come to transition away from stock (even though stock is nice as hell)
[Nexus 5 General] luisvilla1993:
im running Cataclysm and its running great. Its really close to stock with some added functions
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
Wait 5 hrs of what? SOT? or just 5 hours total?
[Nexus 5 General] letmedanz:
Thanks for the response.

Do you mean the initial OTA update?

I got my phone last week & it was already updated..

If it matters i was getting similar results with the stock firmware/kernel too

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

I would've been quite pleased i guess with 5 hrs SOT..

It's just 5 hrs total
[Nexus 5 General] rogem_kk:
OK, you must be running some crappy apps/widgets.

I just checked my phone and with my very light use (but with all radios on) the phone is sitting at

38% battery with

Awake 9h, 30min

Wifi 64 hours

phone idle 62 hours

standby 58 hours

screen 110 minutes

total uptime so far is 63 hours with 38% of charge left.

At least I know that when I need to conserve power, I can expect the phone last a few days.

During really heavy use I can get at least 18 hours with over an hour of voice and 3 hours of screen on.

I stopped using all of the supposed battery savers and live updates for every little bit of data and the device delivers all that I ask of it.

This is on Cataclysm with bricked kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] venturizhou:
I don't seem to feel like the battery life has been awesome as everyone else has been saying.

I'm on stock ROM with Franco r14

PVS 4 UV by 50 and I limited max frequency to 1574.

I turned location and Google now completely off.

My brightness is set to min and all my syncs are off except for Gmail.

Any suggestions?

[Nexus 5 General] luisvilla1993:
I was getting average battery life until I changed to custom ROMs. Im using Cataclysm with Franco R14 and im getting great battery, both on wifi and LTE
[Nexus 5 General] dwang:
everything looks pretty normal. Your screen on time is a bit low with the battery 48%, but that's probably due to listening to google music for 40min causing additional battery drain and also because u started at 93% battery.

franco kernel r14 gets excellent battery life and it doesn't look like you have any runaway wake locks.

I guess with your usage pattern, this is probably the best your going to get.
[Nexus 5 General] venturizhou:
Ok, if that's the case I guess it's fine. I'm just wary of charging to 100% simply because I heard and read that the higher the %, the more stress that we place upon our battery and it be best to go 20%-80% range. I stop around 90% so at least it will reset itself.

Just a little disappointed because I had to turn off Location, Google Now, and run min brightness to get this far. I'll see what I can adjust further.
[Nexus 5 General] xdp:
I'm seeing about the same thing.
[Nexus 5 General] DokoBG1:
Here is my result. I decided to run it down today. The second last big dip was playing a game called "The Room" and the last massive dip was from Asphalt 8 - Started the game and left the phone on the side to run it down. The very first massive dip was due to watching some HD tv show, followed by some online clips. It's not bad. Everything is stock. Google "always listening" is stopped, but Google now is still active. Everything else is default.
[Nexus 5 General] naddie:
With WIFI scanning and OK Google hot word turned off, I'm getting the same battery life as my Galaxy S4. Slightly better actually as I find the battery drains less than my S4 while asleep.

Same apps and Bluetooth remains on.

Here is what I got using ART runtime and underclocking and playing some games.
[Nexus 5 General] pkny:
So i am not sure if this is has been mentioned, but i did a two day semi direct test of two nexus phones within a 10 hour period.

It all started when i was patting myself on my back to finally get some decent battery life with some tweaks; 8 hours on with 1 hour SOT (screen on time) and 60% battery left . I took power conservation for granted since i came from a Note 2.

Then lo an behold this guy who never used android before has 8 hours on with 59% battery left, but he had 3 hours of SOT!

His phone is on Tmobile while mine in on Sprint, we both have very limited service in our lab. In our dead zone lab, his network signal bar is mostly red while mine is yellow. Our wifi setting is on for the most part and configured with the same advanced settings.

Nexus's on the sprint network seem to draw more power while in a poor network coverage compared to tmobile. Its has only been a two day test, but a conclusion is easy to draw. Not only that, tmobile has much better data coverage then sprint in the Washington DC area. WTH! At least i can switch coverage as I please each month.
[Nexus 5 General] dwang:
You might want to try some of those battery saver apps such as green power which allows u to switch to 2g when connected to WiFi automatically.

Cataclysm ROM also has this feature built-in.
[Nexus 5 General] roflwaffles:
My first day with the device, stock, location services off, WiFi detection off for most of the day, display set to 40%. Mainly web browsing and social media use. The battery life is just okay, not great. I get better mileage out of my iPhone 4.

Is there any reason not to run the Franco kernel?

[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
From what I have experienced, it's not great. I actually received a replacement Nexus 5. I sent the first one back because of the button rattle. I haven't tried it yet on the new one, but while playing Asphalt 8 on the first one it wasn't very good. I think I lost about 10% after playing for about 10-15 min. Maybe more, I'm not sure. I just know it dropped very quickly.

My best battery life on Nexus 5 (or should I say an Android OS) to date:

•1day 13 hour running on battery,

•3hr 23 min SOT

•An hour of music playing

•Mild usage on Facebook and reading of notes.

•High accuracy location

•Wifi location setting off

•Google Now off

Oh I did some App Ops settings and also used original cable to charge while phone is COMPLETELY switched off prior to getting this stats.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
Guys there is definitely something going on with Google services lately. I have been experiencing reduced battery life on my Samsung Galaxy S4 with similar usage.
[Nexus 5 General] ljesh:
I am recharching for the first time from 0.

I would not go in to the stats about the previous charge since I rebooted it several times, even factory resetted it once, I used it pretty much setting it up... but it lasted for around 24 hours before getting to 0 and turning itself off.

Concerning the charge time.. I started charging it 1 hour ago and now it's 61% charged. By the way, I am using my Nexus 7 (2012) charger because the one that came with the 5 is US (or UK, I have no idea) plug and here we have different plug.
[Nexus 5 General] Ali812:
First actual discharge from 100 to 0. Overall, not too bad but I feel like it could be better. 3.5 hours of listening to music, Google Now and location reporting are on, some Reddit and Facebook browsing here and there as well, and a mere 10 minutes on a phone call.

[Nexus 5 General] spicyalan:
Just to add to my battery life review. I compare it with my previous phone (the S2)

Gaming

Slightly better than the Galaxy S2 in heavy 3D games (e.g. Asphalt 8). +- 10-15% for 25 minutes.

The Galaxy S2 with a 2000mah battery matches this, but the battery decreases an extra 5-6% during 10 minutes after gaming, while the Nexus stays rock steady.

Also extra points for the Nexus, as its GPU has to drive 1080p during gaming

general usage

When the screen is not too bright, the Nexus 5 has quite a long battery life (even on automatic setting, it isn't bad). Without any energy saving measures (screen on automatic, chrome browser), it has no problem to get +3hrs of screen time) including a full day standby and calls. The Galaxy S2 only will exceed 2hours of screen time of you keep the screen brightness at lowest (and unreadable) level and don't count in any standby time.

Standby (includes push for gmail and a push Exchange account)

The Nexus 5 is king in the power sipping department. Standby on wifi is less than 0.5%/hour (3-4% on 9 hours => would be 8 days!), and 3G standby closely matches this score (<1%/hour), even in areas with bad reception.

I once had S2 do 4-5 days on standby by putting it next to the wireless router and not touching it (on stock 4.0.4). Since Jelly Bean, 48hrs is more a realistic number. Standby on 3G is way worse (15hrs max.). When in bad reception areas, the battery percentages just count down while you look at it....
[Nexus 5 General] rob151515:

1st Charge

Dear All,

The results are from my 1st full charge. Total use: 17h 36m 2s, OST: 4h 58m 6s. I am quite impressed with the results. I would knock off 1 hr. of OST for setting up phone and re-installing my apps for a new phone. The results are typical use except setting up phone and re-install apps.

The results consisted of:

1. Setting up the phone settings.

2. Downloaded apps (re-install my usual apps) from the Google Playstore.

3. Surfed the net using Firefox.

4. Candy Crush and Coin Dozer during commute to work.

5. WhatsApp, Line, Facebook.

6. Gmail and Yahoo push e-mail.

7. No Google Now.

8. No GPS.

9. Location: battery save

Based on the above results almost 5 hours minus the 1 hr. phone setup time = 4hr., I am quite impressed with the OST. I was getting around 2.5 - 3.0 hrs. from my N4 with the same usage. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks.
