I've had my M8 in a soft gel case since new and the other day I had it in my pocket and caught the edge of the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs as I was carrying something up the stairs.

Anyway this impact has left a rather large dent in the back of the phone next to the camera lens so I was wondering just how soft the metal actually is and is the only way around it to use a hard case which detracts from the looks of the phone.

I'll check the skins out but I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make, the dent feels quite deep and I reckon it will show through a skin.

Must be the worst place to catch the rear shell there must be space in between the internals and the camera module for it to dent like it has. And it was in a gel case too.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyer2436:
Hello i just bought a Nexus 5 red 16GB and i saw that the battery was losing 1% every 1 or 2 minutes , even if i'm just doing normal things like SMS/Internet ( and not using camera and YouTube ).

I use the low-consumption location setting and i disabled nearly all the Google apps/Twitter/etc.. notifications.

Is it normal?

Thank you !

Btw : i'm on low brightness and there is 70% battery remaining , with 50minutes on-screen use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Yes. It's a fact of life that using your phone will drain battery... especially if using services that rely on data connection like SMS and internet.

Now if you were loosing 1% per minute in standby with the screen off, then I'd be concerned.

If you're still worried then try these apps...

Battery Monitor

Wakelock Detector

BetterBatteryStats

Greenify
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyer2436:
Ok but , i see many guys with stock rom that have 4-5 on screen battery life , however for me it would be 3h max...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
It is possible to get 5 hours of screen on but with data and wifi turned off and doing light things... It might help to restrict background data for all the apps you don't want to run in the background and also greenify them(it hibernates them). With 3g on battery consumption increases dramatically at least in my case :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyer2436:
i installed Greenify and i only see one app that i greenified, btw could you explain me what you mean :

"With 3g on battery consumption increases dramatically at least in my case" ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
On my N5 there is really huge difference between battery consumption on wifi and on 3g... Wifi can give me around 3-4 hours of screen on and 3g gives me only around 2-3... Thats why I have background data restricted for majority of apps and for default data type I have sellected 2g
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyer2436:
Ok but with what i do , and even just reading in Books this would mean that i have only 1h30 of battery since i've been 1h15min on-screen and i'm at 61% now... i disabled wifi and data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You can get 5+ hours sot with everything on, Wi-Fi, data, bt, location, auto screen brightness. I do. But it's how you setup and use your phone. I don't do games or social media. Nor do I use any battery saving apps, like greenify. Here's one with location off
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaCroX95:
I agree :)) though I use a lot of social networks and majority of my screeon on time is spent on facebook messenger and facebook so I think that 4 hours of screen on under those circumstances is pretty ok :D I don't play games either
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyer2436:
I don't do social app either , i used chrome 12minutes , YT 3min , and that's pretty much it.

battery life has everything to do with how you use your device personally, how you personally set it up, which apps you use, and very importantly the quality of your phone and data connection.

Ok guys , today i finally had 3h50 of on-screen and a total of 10hours ( i wanted to test the battery so i think if i use it normally i'll have 3-4hours of on-screen and 15+ hours in total. )

Thank you guys.

By the way , i found that my wifi and 3G/4G connection was cut-off several times ( actually it seems to be connected but when i want to use internet it's not working and i need to reset the concerned connection ) , maybe this explains that problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Your time is normal for your setup and usage. You have location on. And probably multiple apps accessing it. Facebook is constantly loading posts and pics, that takes some juice. Etc...etc.

3 hoursish of SoT is normal in that scenario.

I get 24 hours plus and 6 plus hours of SoT consistently. But I have location off, no social apps other than Tapatalk, rarely use the "phone"...I text....and don't game. I greenify some apps that I know drain battery. I use display brightness from play store for a manual brightness slider to keep screen as dim as I can take. Gnow off. Well, you get the idea. Lol

Is it a dumbphone now? Well, 1 or 2 toggles and its plenty smart. And I rarely see battery life much higher than mine. So it suits my needs. If I worked an office job and could charge anytime, I'd have everything on too. :)

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Yup. Weak signal while on data is a huge killer!!! ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I thought it seemed normal for his set-up too.

You're drain and screen on time are impressive! :cool:

These are my standard settings, which I've used on most of my phones to squeeze the best out of the battery without sacrificing too many of the features:

Brightness 40%

All vibration off

All location services off

Google Now off

WiFi always on

3G(H+) selected instead of 4G (unavailable in my city)

x3 Gmail accounts with Push notifications on

Weather update every 4hrs

Facebook update every 4hrs but for messages only

Greenify most apps apart from essential stuff like SMS, Gmail, Hangouts, Play etc

Restrict background data for non-essential apps

I'm currently using Purity with default kernel settings and with normal usage I get around 2-3 days / 3-4hrs SoT. That's checking FB & BBC News a few times a day, a bit of Chrome, sending and receiving a few texts, maybe a few rounds of Solitaire. Even If I'm playing more demanding games or using Chrome for longer periods I'm still getting around 24hrs. I live in the city so get strong reception, and connect to WiFi at home and work so barely even use mobile data unless I'm out and about. However, when I'm out in the countryside or in an area where signal is poor I notice my battery takes a big hit.

So, the holy trinity of set-up, usage and signal quality... everyone's is different :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
2 or 3 days!? Amazing! Good job.

I usually use 6 hours a day....so 24 to 28 hours is my norm.

If I could use it less, hopefully I'd be around your time. Hopefully. Lol

Overnight drain is usually 0.3 to 0.5 per hour.

i had my droid 4 running the cm11 nightly build; maserati.

while playing with the settings menu, i found 2 available updates. i did the latest.

from reading this forum, i should have done the oldest update 1st, then the newest, but i don't think that's my problem.

i'm pretty sure i didn't update with cyanogenmod, but with the official google update. i was looking through the settings on the phone, it downloaded an update to the phone, rebooted, now it seems safestrap has disappeared and it wont boot up. i can get into recovery., and when charging the battery display comes on when i press a volume button.

what do i do? i have heard not to flash RSD with a previous version, i am a totally lost newb. all help appreciated. i really dont want to brick it. hopefully someone has 5 minutes this holiday. i'm currently using an old iphone with pieces of glass falling from the screen :(

could try

Power off, Hold M key, Power on, release buttons at

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it's not related to the other forums. My phone keeps the bluetooth connection and both incoming and outgoing voices can be heard.

I've heard it for myself and it sounds like i'm in a bad reception area. What's really puzzling is that it also happens when I speak on the phone with the speakerphone activated, yet when I place the phone right to my mouth then the problem goes away, so i'm thinking it's something to do with the mic switching off to cancel any echo?

With a rooted phone, you would have to decompile system/settings.apk using apktool or similar (in a pc with the android sdk installed).

Edit its xml to remove, just delete, the thetering and portable hotspot menu, and then put the modified settings.apk back into the phone.

That would make it so they cannot activate it via the settings menu, but the phone would still be able to by using 3rd party apps.

Look into decompiling and compiling system apps with framework and apktool. Its a lot to put in the post, but there are great tutorials in the xda community. It's time consuming, but once you get the hang of it, really easy.

Also, you probably have an odexed rom. I suggest installing a stock deodexed rom so you can decompile settings.apk

You can get one in the roms section, I remember 4.1.2 stock deodexed versions of wanamlite or archidroid roms.

I'll look into which xml to edit, don't really remember. It's usually one called layout or res_layout or something like that.

There was a tut for modding the settings layout, ill look for it when I get home and post the link, was very helpful a long time ago.

Edit2: this is the tutorial. It was made for moding android 2.3.6 settings. But a lot of things still apply. It gives a very good idea on what each section does, and how the layout is made and you're only removing stuff, not adding titles or sections:
