[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
I think it does make somewhat of a difference. If I turn it off I can squeeze out maybe 20-30mins of extra screen on time. Mind you, I am a heavy user and sometimes I run into deadspots so take that for what its worth.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
That's correct :good:, I'm referring to the reporting menu below.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tw1tchy:
Ever since I updated to the latest google play services (4.5.1 I think) battery drain issued have been solved.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekyndnunwind:
YES. I turned off both Location History and Location Reporting and my phone has way less wakelocks and battery usage. But just leave the regular location setting on High Accuracy...

Your phone will last forever!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
I've run my phone with Location History and Reporting and Google Now on. What I noticed was many more wakelocks at the end of the day but with surprisingly little difference in actual battery usage. It has gotten much much better IME as far as actual battery toll.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
I'm on 4.2.39. The play store is not asking me to update the services app so I presume I'm on the latest version?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tw1tchy:
That's weird I'm on 4.1.32 (just checked). Maybe try installing latest gapps package? I had problems with cataclysm ROM in December. Then a new play services update came out and no more wake locks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Thanks for looking, I'm on stock 4.4.2. What prompted me to look at my settings was just the random chronic battery drain. Google keep saying they have fixed things and they appear to be right. Then out of nowhere, I get a random drain. It's happened 3 times now meaning I get to work hours late....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cawith:
Google collects anonymous location data from your phone even when location reporting and history are turned off (also did it when on device only mode).

It caused a lot of wake locks for me. I've found a way to still be able to use the GPS without all the wake locks. Simply switch off location totally, then reenable but disagree to the Google terms. Phone sleeps all the time now.

However I'm not quite sure how much battery these wake locks consume and if it's worth losing the instant location access and Google Now features. That's why I'm running my phone this way for a couple of days to test the battery life both with ART and Dalvik to see, if it makes a difference and how big that difference is.

Btw, I also only have Play Services 4.1.32. Does that depend on which region we live in? I would also like to see, if 4.5 would make the battery life better...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Services went to 4.2.40 last night. I'm still going to run without the location reporting on to see if I can get longer than my usual 2 days.

Would be nice to get hear from another nexus 4/5 user who in the past has had location reporting on and has now turned it off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cawith:
Hm, I still have the same old version. Would it be dangerous to sideload an updated version of Play Services? Is that even possible?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
My updated version came via an update of the search or maps app. I don't know about side loading or how you would get hold of the apk.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
So does the update improve the battery life or not? It's really a placebo at best during the big update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
I'd say I've seen no difference. However, consistent battery life is important to me even if not that good. The real killer is when something like Google search decides to eat my battery in the course of a night.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whizper:
I've read in other threads that if you don't have quality LTE in your area, the phone uses up mucho battery, trying to maintain/improve the LTE connection (searching for better LTE service). But those with quality LTE service don't have such issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Doesn't seem to matter what network you are on, 3g/4g, if your phone is searching for the signal all of the time, your battery will take a real hammering.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash3656:
Back on 4.1-4.3 days I ran once in a while with location reporting on and each time I ran it, battery life halved. No joke. If I could get 3 hour screen on time a day, with location reporting on, I would get 1-1.5 hour screen on time. JB 4.1 introduced Google Now and everyone complain about battery life which was actually the fault of location reporting shortly after Google now was updated.

Ever since then the first thing I do on an android device is to disable it. Recently I gave it a try again, the battery loss isn't that bad on 4.4 (especially with play services 4.1.x), but for predictable battery life I still leave it disabled. Mind you, all this experience is from running a GNex and not a Nexus 5, but I just wanted to let ya know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Thanks. I'm getting better battery life with location reporting off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
sadly it doesn't matter which network you connect to. the same can be true with 2G and 3G with low signal
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
The same need to consider is Wifi always scanning in wifi advance settings. This service is inter-related to Google location service. I normally turn this OFF for good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy56:
Weird how when I was trying to test how long the battery lasts, performance was much better than normal but now it's terrible. Services went from hardly waking the phone and draining a minimal amount of battery to constant wakelocks and high batter drain for location services with location reporting off.

Edit *the last screenshot is from now*. The previous were from testing battery life. I had Google now on, location reporting off but location services on, auto sync off, brightness at 10%, ans wifi on 24/7. The last screenshot has the exact same settings but now I'm experiencing higher drain while in deep sleep.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsweeting:
When I first got my N5, I had Google Now & location reporting on. Battery would only just about last 1 day.

I now don't use Google Now, and have turned off location reporting - battery now lasts nearly 3 days.

Another battery hog is the WiFi scanning. Need to turn that sukka off too. (WiFi settings / advanced)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Agreed about the WiFi scanning.

I've noticed no loss of functionality with locating reporting off. Has anyone else?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsweeting:
Same here - I'm not missing any functionality by turning these things off. Just goes to show you how much I actually did use Google Now! (i.e. not much)

The only difference I am seeing is that my battery lasts a LOT longer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy56:
For my tests, I actually turned on Google now to try and emulate how a typical user would have their phone set up and I didn't notice any decrease in battery. I'll try checking again if it makes a difference for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffallin:
Yeah, turning off location makes the biggest difference, in my experience. I've also found turning off sync (the little sync icon on the Power Control widget, it turns off sync in Chrome, etc, then when I want to use one of the apps that needs sync turned on, its easy to just tap the sync icon on the Power Control widget :) Works great for me- with sync and location turned on, I have about 30 % battery left after an 8 hour shift- with those two things turned off, I have about 65-70 % battery after 8 hours!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herosemblem:
I have had location access set to "device only", WiFi always scanning off, Bluetooth off, 1/2 of items under Google are NOT permitted to auto sync, my apps are very few, and whose that do sync, only do so once per 12 hrs...location reporting has veeb off, OK Google voice recognition has been off, NFC off, no music playing, and more. It makes no difference; my battery life has been awful. Usually goes down between 6-12% per hour while sleeping in my pocket.

In any case, I noticed no improvement in battery life when location reporting was off. I've had the phone since Nov 8 2013.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash3656:
For you then maybe its time for an RMA once you determined its not some phantom kernel wavelock blocking your phone from sleeping.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herosemblem:
I thought it is just an inefficient operating system plus tiny battery w/ HD screen combo, and that my experience is the rule...the standard of what most N5 users experience with their batteries. (And I love my n5)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
It can be one of them. I find the best is to only enabled Locations when you need it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Have to say your battery issues sound like an RMA to me. My battery consumes roughly 2% per hour when asleep.

I have the opposite problem. Got samsung case and want to disable auto wake/sleep future :)... There is no such option. The only thing is to disable the magnetic sensor. But no app can do it atm.

Maybe we can switch cases haha...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Anyone know how to get the names of the apps to show up in the Apex apps drawer instead of just little icons. I swear Nova would allow for this.

No, I don't have that option ticked either to hide them in the settings. I'm at a loss as to why I only get the icons and not the apps name?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nswenson:
Ruduce the number of rows to 3. The default of 4 is too many and cuts off the names. You can find the grid settings under drawer settings. Change for portrait and landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
A perfect fix! Thank you sir :highfive:

[Moto X Q&A] varxx:
Question: Rather than incrementally update from 4.4 to 4.4.2 by OTA, can I just wait until the full 4.4.2 image is available and flash the full image?

I see a nice list of firmwares here, for example:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

I'm reluctant to do the update incrementally via OTA or manually, because I don't want to revert from TWRP to stock recovery. As things stand, I believe have a non-stock recovery is preventing me from receiving the OTA that TMobile is currently rolling out.

I have a DevEd GSM and am using TMobile. I'm entirely stock except for TWRP.

Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
Once the US TMobile is available for 4.4.2 you should be able to fastboot (or mfastboot for the system.img) flash the update without losing your recovery. I'm sure someone will post specific steps to update unlocked bootloader, custom recovery phones once the 4.4.2 image is released. I have seen posts warning about not flashing the boot image because it can't be reverted, but I don't know if that affects phones with an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
It does affect the unlocked bootloader people, that is why some people are waiting for the sbf. If you update via the OTA, it will install the new bootloader, regardless of lock status. Once on this new 4.4.2 bootloader, it is impossible to flash any stock images before 4.4.2 (you cannot go back to 4.4 or 4.4.2).

But why would you want to go back if you have an unlocked bootloader already? I don't really see any reason to flash an image that is earlier than the latest... if I were Moto, I would let people flash the earliest system image of that version of android (4.4 kitkat in our case). This would rectify the root situation (because 4.2.2 isn't kitkat), and it would keep the people happy as well.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
You absolutely can manually flash the system image while having the 4.4 bootloader, you can also flash any 4.4.2 stock based ROM such as the 1052 European ROM that showed up today.

I was actually running the gummy ROM 4.4.2 while still on the 4.4 bootloader without any issue

If you restore data. There will be fc in every app because it is of another rom

And on cm11 latest build(dual sim)
[Micromax A110] sierrarohan:
Hi Bro, I've switched to various ROM's of different bases (4.2 or 4.1) numerous times and will tell you how to restore your data.

Take a Nandroid backup. After installing your new ROM, Restore your apps, games from Titanium Backup using 'Extract from Nandroid Backup' Option. I'm using this method and there are no FC's whatsoever.

Just make sure you don't restore any system app or data because it will most probably create a soft brick or bootloop issue.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
one better make damm sure that one dont have any .net programs running when the pda is off too

because then the SD interface get shutdown to save power

and then programs which are running which depend on the framework crash and burn
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Yup, but you can also play with PNPUnloadDelay to avoid problems because of this (see http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44488 for more info).
[General Topics] jeffreii:
how does this method compare to the way the new beta allows GAC to be installed to the storage card?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...53-a418-42d9-a481-19ba3ceca1a6&displaylang=en

from what another user told me, the beta allows you to install about 80% of the framework to the storage card.

-jeff
[General Topics] dborello:
Yes !!! Thanks for the council.

Before with the previous version of net framework 2 my free memory was of 25,80 Mb.

After to have installed the Sp1 new beta on the Storage Card is of 29,78 Mb.
[General Topics] craigiecraigie4:
Hi Menneisyys. Would MUCH appreciate your guidance;

I'm using a ROM image that works great - except that the CF 2.0 SP1 installation is buggy. I can't de-install it as it's not in my installed apps. Any idea what files I need to delete so the install proggie thinks it's gone and does a reasonable re-install? Currently the install proggie says "you already have this verison installed".
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Unfortunately, it's not only files but also registry entries. Try deleting all the above-listed, 2.0-only (don't touch the CF1-specific ones!) registry entries.

Do you have WM5 or a previous OS? If you have the latter, I can send over an .unload file and a registry import so that you can directly delete these without any manual registry editing.
[General Topics] craigiecraigie4:
Hi Mennei, I'm on WM5 and would TRLUY appreciate a .unload file! Thanks a stack.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Unfortunately, you can't easily hack WM5 (as opposed to pre-WM5 OS'es) to think it has a program installed - you don't have write rights on \Windows\AppMgr and, tehrefore, can't copy the (un)install DLL there. That is, with WM5, it's, to my knowledge, not possible to automatically remove stuff.
[General Topics] blazoner:
hmmm.....

maybe if you installed a "dummy" program that would reference the appropriate uninstall file for CF2.0?

just an uneducated noob suggestion. (feel free to educate me! i'm always eager to learn)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
It might work.
[General Topics] mnazmi:
CF2 late question

I know there has been no action on this thread but as a late commer I was wondering if the CF files can be copied and included into the extended ROM (instead of the storage card) and then flashed onto the device?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Yup, I think so - after all, when unlocked, the extended ROM is just another drive in the file system. WHEN unlocked, I think.
[General Topics] kjskho1:
FYI

i downloaded the .Net CF2.0 SP1 fr http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...88-59e2-4eba-a70e-4cd851c5fcc4&DisplayLang=en

i selected Storage Card during the installation. all GAC* files are installed automatically\directly onto my Storage Card\Windows folder. when i checked on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ .NETCompactFramework\ Installer\ Assemblies\ Global, all 14 2.0 and 8.0 entries are already with the correct folder path (\Storage Card\Windows). therefore, i only needed to move 4 files below onto the \Storage Card\Windows folder, and added value Storage Card\Windows\ into the SystemPath in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Loader
