location, bluetooth, gps off and data was used minimally. and the red bars (time without signals) were only a couple of minutes so i dont think they are the source of the drain

Just wanted to ask - is it normal that using the phone in LTE mode drains my battery very quickly? On 3G the battery drains much less.

And on a slightly unrelated note - is it normal that LTE keeps constantly losing signal and getting it back a second later? Maybe that's why the battery drain is so high?

Hello everybody, im new to this thread. So i have posted my BetterBatteryStats screenshot below. Im kinda lost of what's been eating my battery. I have followed some guides to disable some services from GSF and Google Play Service, i also use Greenify. Im on Nameless rom, i use the Privacy Guard to block some apps like Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, and some other.

But from my observation, my phone consume more battery juice when im using Wifi than im on Data Network (without wifi). But do check below screenshot, hope some user here can elaborate more. In my area, there is lack of 3G reception, so that is one thing that drains my battery as my radio keep scanning for 3G, so that is understandable, other? Please refer my screenshot

battery goes down a lot while sleeping

First of all great thread. . some really useful info. . pretty helpful. .I also needed some help. .BTW I'm using a HTC one m7 and cm11. . I've had this peculiar problem where in my device has no problem going to deep sleep without waking up but even during that time battery seems to drop quite a bit. . usually switch off WiFi and data and sync before going to sleep and yet when I wake up in the morning I would have lost around 1.7-2% per hour. . however it shows that the phone was in deep sleep for almost the entire time. .the battery graph depicts this very well showing that the battery drops a lot even when the device is asleep. .also the mobile standby battery consumption seems rather high . .can't figure out if I need to change the battery or if it's a radio issue.. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks a ton!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
You should use the phone to about 10% battery level to get a more accurate picture, however in that time the radios were a large drain most likely due to low signal. Instead of turning WiFi off while you sleep try leaving it on as it should use less power than a data connection.

Do you live in a large building? That signal reminds me of most people's work day where they typically get low signal inside larger buildings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balag59:
Thanks!But i dont live in a large building and i generally get decent signal. .and to be clear i switched off mobile data also along wifi sync and location. .Here is a BBS log taken overnight for about 5 hours with everything switched off. .As you can see its in deep sleep for almost the entire duration. .Yet the battery dropped at 1.8% per hour. .no problem of wakelocks and any apps causing issues as far as i can tell coz its totally awake only for 2 min in the 5 hour duration. .That too would have been the time i was on BBS saving the log. .So again its either a problem with my radios or i need a new battery altogether. Maybe these stats can decipher the problem. .Thanks once again. .have a look at the log and give me your comments.

My battery seems to increase even thought I'm not charging it. Seems to happen when I put the phone to sleep and it goes Idle. I've tried to calibrate the battery but that didn't work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetrod60:
im sorry if i post in the wrong thread, but i think this is the only battery troubleshooting thread that have most replied. I have problem when charging my device. When using AC charger its feels so slow. I forgot to unplug my device from the charger over night but in the morning its still 70%.

So i let it to drain. Then i charge again with original AC charger, i look at GSAM and i see aproximate time to finsih is 12 hours??

I change another charger from other device, it is also said to be arround 11-12 hours.

strange that if i using USB charging it is said only 3 hours.

Then i try to turn off my phone completely to see if there is something wrong with the app or else. But its been 2 hours using AC charger and the battery still below 50%.

the depletion of my device also normal as usual. This morning i borrow my friends Xperia Ultra charger's and fill up my battery to 100%. And during the day i use my device as usual with SOT arround 4 hours.

Im using custom kernel (franco), stock rom. And this is never happened before(just happened in this two days). Maybe i've done something wrong in the settings of my kernel Like Fast Charging?. .i also using 3c Tool box..Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If another charger charged your device no problem, it's obviously your charger or both chargers. Or more likely the cable. And could be your USB ports on the Pc... Which takes a long time to charge even if there's no problem.

Try a new cable, or a few anyway. See how that goes.

Well, I use Greenify to stop apps like Facebook, whatsapp, coolify (it dont run in my phone because I dont have root, i would like to use it, because my phone is heating), games, messenger, all apps downloaded.

How I said, I use BatteryGuru just to the systems apps dont refreshes all time when needed, but only when I open it.

About heating, i know this is not the correct post for it, but, my phone in charging + use (only fb, whatsapp) goes to 38, 39ºC easy! Without charging it is heating fast, without games or anything else... I don't know, but this is not a signal of a bad battery? Charging the battery is fast too.

1. You should just root.

2. Greenify doesn't need root. You just have to manually hibernate. ?

And yes, hibernating those social apps is definitely a good thing if you can live without their notifications.

The phone will turn off if it over heats... But that's at about 60 degrees Celsius or do. I wouldn't worry about it.

You just answered your own question. ?

You've set WiFi to stay on in sleep only when plugged in. So when it's not plugged in it will turn off and on every time you touch the phone.

This should be unnecessary.. Leaving WiFi on always should hurt battery life. Turning it off and on all the time will hurt it though. Always scan for signal is another waste as well.

Bluetooth and WiFi are always on, but bluetooth was not connected to anything yesterday.

Also wondering if my battery capacity is diminished from excessive heat from using it in the car. Since I got a car mount, I've seen GSam tell me the battery gets over 130F, and have even had the phone shut itself down due to heat once! I stopped using the Qi charging function of the car mount, and just plug the USB in, but I wonder if damage was done.

Edit: Could tasker using BT events be causing BT battery drain? I installed tasker so that I can manage the Torque app in the car based on connecting to / disconnecting from the BT device in my car.

I'm running the stock ROM, not rooted, just have the 4.4.3 OTA installed via System Update.

I've noticed that I have to reboot this phone an awful lot for problems like these. At least it doesn't take as long as my old EVO 4g (that thing took over 5 minutes to reboot!)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Like I said, bluesleep seems to be your issue. Everything else seems normal. When I googled it, everything says Bluetooth causes it. I bet its a fluke tho. Something just caused it to stick in memory. Just see if it pops up again and how the battery goes. If it happens consistently, you have an issue with Bluetooth for sure.

If battery drains bad again and there's no bluesleep, then yeah....its something else.

Just see how it goes. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
Honestly the battery drain for me after 4.4.3 has been terrible. After spending all day yesterday hopping from charger to charger while I was having a busy day, I downgraded the radio firmware back to 4.4.1 which seems anecdotally to have helped tremendously. Battery drain seems back to normal today.

My phone sucked after 4.4.3 in regards to both snappiness / lag and battery life. Sometimes the screen didn't even wake up when pressing the power button, it could take >15 seconds. Before update I had problems with battery life but not with performance.

So I did a backup of everything important including the sdcard, wiped the phone while flashing 4.4.4 factory image, restored same backed up content and all problems went away!

Worth a try..

Well here's my terrible battery life. It used to be fantastic up until a month or so ago with the exact same setup.

What do you think [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] Why is my phone waking so often?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well my friend, 2 things I see there.

Poor signal seems to maybe be an issue. No stat confirms this tho. But its definitely a possibility. Only way to test is use WiFi if possible, or disable Data. But I know you'd miss us here on XDA.... So no data or WiFi is probably not a possibility. ;)

Obviously Google Play Services is waking your phone a ridiculous amount of times as shown on the graph and the held awake time total.

Extremely simple fix I am sure. Turn off location services.....or at least use Device only. Tho, indoors, location may not work so well.

It could definitely be an app spamming location, but not showing so and hiding itself in Google services.

I'd try a day with location off. If all is better, then try device only. See how it is.

Maybe a factory reset could help. Or a clean flash....I know you ota'd.... Lol

If factory reset or clean flash don't help with your exact current setup....I'd be looking at apps using location. One of them is probably misbehaving. Either its an app you installed just before the trouble started, or a bad app update.

That's all I got. ;)

Good luck! Let us know if anything helps or changes. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oh....in gsam....click on radio....see how long it scanned for a signal. :)

If its a lot....could be the trouble.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
[MENTION=962867]El Daddy[/MENTION]

Sorry, just noticed you had wifi on the whole time....just not when you took the screens. Lol

That probably eliminates signal as an issue. My bad. ;)

Back to the usual suspect....location services. Lol

And....location history. Also a drainer. As well as the features in android device manager. Try with those 3 off maybe....before completely turning off location to test.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I'll check those out tomorrow at work. Thanks!

Here's the curve ball. When I'm at my house I have almost zero wake ups. Most of the time a full day at home will only have ~30min of Google Play Services wake time. 8 hours at work is 1.5h of Google Play Services wake. My signal at home is about the same as at work.

The weird part is that it was never like this. It just started recently. I did a clean install of 4.4.3 to see if that would help but it didn't.

I'm guessing as you suggested it's some app calling for location over and over. I don't have Facebook installed. I disabled twitter and instagram for a few days to test and nothing changed. I honestly have no idea what it could be. It's probably some stupid app that has no reason to ask for location. :rolleyes:

Edit: its a small sample size but the graph shows when I'm at home it never wakes up.

Look from the time it was off the charger to the time where there is a gap in screen time because I was playing softball. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
[MENTION=962867]El Daddy[/MENTION]

You should use your device in safe mode for a day and check whether you are still facing battery issue.

Looking at your screenhots, I feel many of the unwanted services are kept on when your device is connected to WiFi and it's made to sleep.

Another thing you can do is that if you are rooted, just get into recovery and wipe Dalvik/Cache.

Unwanted sync services, WiFi scanning services, location services, bluetooth services can be turned off when not in use.

Optionally, you can go to settings - > apps - > Google Play Services - > clear all cache and data and reboot if you've not rooted your nexus.

sorry for bad explaining. I am using an connection manager of my custom ROM. this automatically switch to 2G when device is in standby and switch back to 3G when display is on.

can this help me to save a little bit battery life?

and another problem I have is that mobile data in standby takes much battery drain when device is in standby LTE is disabled.

what could be the reason for this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
Yes it will save your battery. But instead of changing network mode on standby mode, you can actually turn on to 3G network when you want to access Internet and after finishing up your work, you can switch back to 2G mode. Most of the time 2G signals are much better than rest of them.

When you are connected to mobile data in any network mode, it'll consume more juice (battery) than in standby mode.

Mobile data = More sync like services with background services consuming battery

Standby mode = Only background services consuming battery

I hope you got it :)
