I don't know if you are willing to root and rom this early in the game, but I'm running this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518660

It's basically the stock rom, with a few additions, like battery icon, reboot menu, and the ability to change the notification quick settings. Here's mine:

It also has the option to turn on quick pull down for left or right side of the screen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackmulah:
I'm already rooted and looked at that rom. It does look very nice. I think I am going to wait a bit to use custom Roms though....I'm especially waiting for cm11. If I get sick of stock soon that is definitely the rom I will flash. What are its best features in your opinion?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jk2207jk:
In 'Power Toggles', you can try going to 'Notification Widget' -> 'Position' -> 'Not pinned & no icon'

It means your toggles will 'float' and not stay pinned to the top of your notifcation drop-down, but does omit the icon at the top. :)

Give it a try!

Power toggles - no icon

Seems to work if you click "Not pinned and no icon"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidRaven:
Scratch everything.. Notification Toggle takes the cake for me... You have the ability to set up all your toggles.. And even shortcuts to apps.. You can add more toggles per line the 4... most importantly no bar icon

Here is my setup

Give that app a try.. You will thank me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkAngel06:
Honestly, I like it because it doesn't have many features. The more features, the more likely things won't work exactly right. I really wanted a pure Google experience, but there's a few things that it's missing.

Top things in Cataclysm ROM for me are editable notification toggles, reboot power menu, circle battery, show am/pm for clock, and lockscreen slider shortcuts. I know CM has all that and more, and I will definitely try CM when it's released, but this is great for now, and it has a stock feeling. Also no hiccups on it yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
This doesn't do anything more than Power Toggles already does. Choosing the notification priority on that app still makes it so it isn't pinned to the top when a new notification comes in. Just like power toggles when you select no pin & no icon. It's still a solid app, but I think Power Toggles is better.

I may eventually install CM or Omni so you can customize the quick settings, and be able to swipe the right side to pull down the quick settings faster. Also, I like the ability to turn on the flashlight from the lock screen by holding the home button.

Hi guys,

can you explain why is the "conductive layer" clearly visible on the Z1 screen ( as relly dense lines at different angles) under some types of light (I've noticed it while sitting in the restaurant under littlehalogen lights)? I've switched from SGS II and there I can't see any lines or dots ( dots were visible in ZTE Blade that I owned before ;) ).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbmolina:
hi, my samsung galaxy s2 started making problems, if i reboot, most of the times I get a black screen which, curiosly, if I press the menu and back buttons, they light up! still, I have to reboot it several times (removing the battery does not help) untill i get a "successful" boot. I'm rooted and I am using omega v13 AOKP, based on JB 4.2.2 but this problem started some time ago, when i was using Omega v24 based on 4.1.2.

My phone is in warranty, but I woud like first to determin if it is a software or hardware thing, because if it is a hardware problem, I have to figure out a way or restoring to stock without leaving traces, so I can use it... :(

any ideas what the problem might be? the kernels on both versions I used were different, so it has to be something different...

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Clean install of stock first. Test for a few days. Problems persist, then you send it in for warranty service. If the problems go away, then it's obviously something on the firmware you were using side. Try different custom roms/kernels in that case & see if you can reproduce the problem. If you can't reproduce it with other custom firmware, then it's an Omega problem - talk to the dev.

thanks, that is was i was thinking, although i hate to waste such an amount of time.. anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll guess I'll have to do it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewr87:
The battery life on my N5 is actually worse than on my Gnex. I've noticed that Google Play Services drains 20-30% of battery on idle. Overnight from full charge it goes down to low 90s and the majority of the usage is from Google Play Services. Is this normal on 4.4? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steslatt:
I'm getting big drains from play services also. It wakes my device a lot during sleep. If you turn off google now and location reporting, play services drops significantly. Mine was up to around 20% being the second highest drain (screen was top with 27%). As soon as I turned off location reporting and google now it dropped to around 3% being at the bottom of the list.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pard0ned:
I've noticed it was quite high up there too. Gonna țry disabling what you said there and see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stylus_XL:
A lot of people are having this problem. I rang Google this weekend to complain and they advised me to do a factory reset, which I reluctantly agreed to. Surprisingly this has actually fixed it (for now, we'll see how things hold up over the coming days). Battery drain is down to about 0.5-0.7% an hour during sleep (which is no more than what my iPhone 4S or Galaxy S3 used to drain), whereas before it was draining at anywhere between 3% an hour and 10% an hour. I've also set WiFi to switch off when the screen isn't on. In Better Battery Stats I can see that Google Play Services is still producing a sizeable amount of wakelocks but for some reason they're not having the effect they used to have.

Alternatively you can fix this quickly by disabling Location Reporting and Location History altogether, which apparently effectively shuts Google Now off. I haven't done so because I find Google Now quite useful, but if you don't need Google Now you should probably disable Location Reporting or change your Location Reporting mode to "battery saving".

You could also try rebooting your phone into Safe Mode and seeing if this produces different results.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
If phone is operating properly and you do not have any rogue apps or processes, it should probably be less than 10%. Mine hovers in the 5-7% range. Anything over 15% and I'd definitely start looking for a culprit.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steslatt:
This was the first thing I tried after I noticed it was doing it. It didn't fix it for me, I was still getting high drainage until I turned off location reporting and google now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblack41510:
I also had similar problem. Did a factory reset and seems to be fixed now
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewr87:
So I did a factory reset and on idle it still drains the majority of my battery. Although over night the drain went down to about 0.5% an hour after the reset. Even after a full day of use it is still the number two drainer of battery after my screen. I don't really want to turn off Google Now or location reporting. The doesn't happen on my other devices. Not sure what to do now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Just to make sure you're understanding what you're seeing from the Battery report in Settings: What you're seeing is that Play Services, aka Google Now/Play stuff, is responsible for 20-30% of your battery drain while idle... and you're seeing an 0.5% an hour drain overall while idle... sooooooo your battery is dropping from 100% to 96% overnight(assuming an 8hr night), in which Play Services is 30%(at the high end) of that... which equates to 1.2% battery loss during this idle time due to Play Services.

I really don't see the problem with this. Do you believe you are experiencing bad battery life for the entire day and attempting to find the culprit?

EDIT: I make this post because people misunderstand what Battery under the Settings menu is reporting. It's reporting what the percent used by program/services of the total battery drained i.e. if your battery report is at 96%(so depleted 4%), it's reporting up to 100% of what contributed to that drain. Therefore, if 70% of that 4% drain was the screen, then 20% of that 4% will be reported as Play Services, and 10% of that 4% will be reported as Android System... etc. It is not saying that Play Services/Android System/Screen has used 70% of your battery, only 70% of the 4% overall that has been used. Hopefully that makes sense to you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewr87:
That definitely makes sense. I guess I'm just not sure if that amount of drain is "nornal". I don't see it on my other devices and I see people posting screens of their battery life and Google Services doesn't show up in the top three in many cases.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
And in most circumstances it wouldn't. Largely because other apps would have pushed it down the list because they've used more battery of the overall drain.

For example, on my 9hr 26m 43s day on battery, my stats read as the following: Screen(35%), Android OS(12%), Wi-Fi(8%), Android System(7%), Phone Idle(6%), Play Services(5%), etc. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you what I ended the day at because I put my phone on the charger when I got home out of habit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Could you explain how this is possible? If I go to Settings-Location-Mode and choose "Battery Saving" it will apply phone-wise. All other apps will also use battery-saving location settings, e g Endomondo, Gmaps, etc. What you are saying is that it is possible to choose PER-APP Location Settings.

...or probably I am just a noob who hasn't spotted how to do it..

thanks

9 hours of keeping my nexus 5 awake... I was wondering why my nexus 5 was only at 30% at the end of my classes at 6pm! Barely any use besides some texts, some calls, ~60 min of web browsing/reddit

Normally after a full day of the standard light usage I've been getting around 60-70% battery life at the end of my day.

I don't use anything else besides what I mentioned. I'm not sure if its significant or not, but I do use a Nokia wireless charger and didn't reboot my phone this morning. I heard wireless charging causes a wakelock?

I read somewhere that having the location setting on battery saving rather than High Accuracy was causing Google Services battery drain. I was getting the same issue over night. I switched back to High Accuracy, and Google Services is awake a fraction of the time. Not sure if this fixes your problem but it did for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kornball:
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed a solid 2 hour block of time where my screen wasn't on; yet, my device was 'awake.' Using Better Battery Stats, I saw CacheUpdateService had caused the 2 hour wakelock. Using the app "Disable Service," I was able to turn that part of Google Play services off. I haven't noticed any deleterious effects yet. I do not use Google Now, however, so I don't know if disabling it will cause any harm in that regard.

I had the same issue, but it settled down once I did this:

installed a temporary homescreen replacement like nova

using ES file explorer as root with system mounted as RW, delete the Google Play Services APK from system\priv-app and used Titanium to uninstall Google Search (velvet.apk)

I rebooted, I then reinstalled both apps via the playstore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

If you cannot update via the store, both files are located here:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B37ViQx8vhf3YnRvOWNIbnNnLWc&usp=sharing

You want Velvet.apk and prebuiltgmscore.apk

Once they are both reinstalled go to Settings > Home > Choose Google's Launcher

If you're going to try this, I do not stress enough to do a nandroid backup... if you don't do this and you screw up your phone's OS, don't blame me.

Regardless, these steps cleared the issue for me. Combined with Franco's kernel I drain approx 1% an hour.

Yup, have it too: 20%+ on my Desire HD with CM 10.1 ... I'll try to revert the updates to Play Services to see if that's the fix.

You are wrong on this. The problem is not with the "Okay Google" listening feature. The problem seems to be with Google Now itself. Google Now is always running regardless if you are using Nova or GEL. I originally thought Nova was the problem, as I didn't experience the rapid battery drain with GEL, but it turns out it was just a timing issue, and the rapid battery drain occurred with both launchers once I retested GEL after I read that Google Services/Google Now was the real culprit.

Thanks to the others who have provided suggestions on how to fix the issue. I guess I'll try rebooting first, uninstalling the updates second, and if neither of those work, disable Google Now. I use Google Now for weather and shipping info, though, so it will suck to have to temporarily get rid of it.
