[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fba9398:
What's GSF? And how can I kill it and the Google Play Services? I've seen use 10-20% of the battery but I don't know how to stop it from running! By the way, I have Facebook on Greenify, don't know why it hurts the battery if Greenify is supposed to stop it from running in the background.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's the point I was making..... To test... Don't use any of those apps.... A whole day. Freeze them preferably, or try Greenify. ?

If he uses them as normal... Yeah... His battery time will be even worse if they are greenified.

He needs to not use them to see the big difference. Notify his friends he's off the grid for a day.

Enjoy the silence. Pick some flowers. Go for a walk. Watch a good movie..... And don't use the apps. Lol

(can use the Web for those that have Web pages tho)

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
See my above post. Freeze them preferably. But try Greenify if you can't freeze.

If you use them, while greenified... Your times will be even worse.

Use your browser. But none of the apps.

Should be a relaxing peaceful day too. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Messenger wakes Facebook. The two worst apps in the play store if you ask me. Battery wise . Lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fba9398:
Yeah, tomorrow I'll freeze all those apps and won't go on any social networks, if so, I'll get on them from my computer!

Probably only will listen to some music and enter some websites from Chrome, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
GSF = Google Service Framework. I recommend using System Tuner app to disable any sub process having to do with Location. Also disable the subservice "checkin service". This is a bit more advanced and I would save this till last. Focus on your social apps first.

Now my gripe with Greenify is if you are constantly launching apps you use often and then Greenify is constantly putting them to sleep this actually chews battery. You will see your Android OS battery usage get higher. This is my personal experiment. For instance I did it with Tapatalk. That's my most used app on my phone by far. Android OS skyrocketed. So I just freeze my social apps instead of Greenify. I created a toggle as well. Takes 2-3 secs to unfreeze and open the app via toggle.

What's the difference if you use fast or FB app? Reason I ask is both are social apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
FB is just a badly coded app. It exploits location like mad and constantly wakes your device. It has nothing to do with it being "a social app".

Read this thread AFTER you nuke your social apps. It'll help you with GSF and Play Service wakelocks. Also read the last 5 pages to see what I was talking about regarding the system tuner app.

Forgot to add this. Something was waking the phone like crazy. Turned off wifi and things seem to have leveled out. Now Im just dealing with weak service in my building,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's definitely your network and/or router. And a weak signal on data may be trouble too.

Definitely a rough situation. For the amount it costs, I'd try a new and different router. Or at least reset the one you have and try it on its default settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Been quite a time uh?

Quick question guys, how are you doing? lol

no, really, i have seen that when i disable some service in disable services app, it from time to time enables itself again. Particularly i'm facing this problem with Analytics service. Have you faced that?

On some other news I change my rom , and now i had the option to deny permission of waking up, and finally i had no more wakelocks at all :)

so only that problem with the services but apart from that everything's ok
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Analytics does no harm and does not wakelock, don't bother disabling it.

I've said it many tines, if you're going to disable harmless stuff purely for the sake of disabling, you might as well uninstall gapps. ONLY disable whatever gives you trouble or always wakes.

ふかつどう
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Facuu:
Oh i wanted to disable only cause it shows in running in background all the time, and as it's worthless for me, that's why.

If it werent running i wouldn't have problems leaving it. Furthermore, idsables just 4 or 5 services, not all those that you have, cause they give me no problems
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Just because it runs doesn't mean it keeps your device awake or anything bad lol.

ふかつどう
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Some things just have other things that need it to run. That's why if you disable it, you find it running anyway occasionally.

That's definitely a case of just leave it alone. If it needs to be initialized all the time, it will waste more battery than trying to disable it saves. And create lag.

Hang on this will be a long story......

My Nexus 5 gives me 3 maybe 3.5 SoT MAX with the same setup (ONLY KERNEL CHANGED BUT no kernel will efect batterly life that much right?) which i get 5+ always. This happens all the time. If iget 5 hr SoT one day, other day with nearly same usage 3-4 SoT. Other day maybe 6 hr of SoT Really?! WT* Is going on? I know device will not respond same everday but you can expect 30-45 minutes difference right? Why 1-2 hours? And another problems i have with Nexus 5 is my charger (original) is smelling so bad from day 1 i use it. I have ghost touches when charging. Sometimes something triggers something idk and it ramps my cpu to MAX. And a factory reset fixes that. Dont ask sync etc. I already dumb my phone enough. (Sync only charging, no location, no google now,no bluetooth no nfc, no autorotate.) What im doing wrong here? I think there is a problem with my charger but why my cpu locks at MAX randomly when i even reboot and i need to factory reset.

My Setup:

Stock Rom+Xposed+Greenify Donation+Z2 Dalvik/G3 Bionic/Updated GPU drivers.

First kernel : Franco r59-60-61-62 Second Kernel: Elemental X 1.0.5.

PS: %34 usage with 22 min SoT and 11 hours standby.... I got 1 percent drop for 2-3 minutes which was 4-7 before. No significant wakelocks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWRH:
[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] WTF? Seems like my issue fixed now. Maybe USB charging or the facotry reset i did fixed it. If problem will occur again you and [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] will have your screenshots to playh :3 Cheers.

Hy guys,

Are there any larger capacity batteries compatible with the N5? A 3000mAh one would be nice :).

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
No. If you see any websites claiming to sell a battery with more capacity its bs and really, its probably smaller than 2300mAh. Its limited by physical size, you won't find any that legitimately have larger capacity.

There are external battery cases however, although those are ugly.

Personally I think the battery is fine, and the majority of people who complain the "capacity is too low" are ignorant and probably have their device in a 24/7 wakelock.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's not a bug... Or there would be many reports of it. It's something you've installed or something. Strange it doesn't show anything unusual in your screenshots.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWRH:
I just ran out of things i could do.... Im not using my phone since i bought it (2 months ago) always issues like that and im really tired of it. Nearly 5 times i factory reset this week. Im freaking tired and school will open in 1 week. I need to fix this thing before school.

LOL. Its the Bricked kernel. I just decided to flash it because maybe Elemantal X can cause that but WTF? It happened in Elemental X as well. Maybe a patch in both kernel causes that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Not sure. But if it were me, I'd wipe it all (except internal sd) and flash stock again with fastboot. It should be fixed at that point. Then install apps a few a day. If it goes bonkers it's one of the apps you just installed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWRH:
I already did another factory reset and restored my nandroid backup which is just plain stock with my apps only. I decided to flash FKU which seems less problematic kernel to me.

Day without social apps

So I had a day without any social apps running (forced closed all of them except I was using WhatsApp), and I really didn't much of a difference, screen on time and standby where about the same and there was some strange command that ate a lot of battery from chrome: com.android.chrome.sandboxes_process1, there was another but was "process0" instead, but that eventually went out of the list, so it really didn't do much and chrome used a strange command that ate about 6% of my battery, anyone have any ideas how to resolve any of these two problems?

Actually I was listening to music about 2 hours and download a playlist of 50 songs for offline listening, so I think that was normal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Not really seeing an issue then. Gotta remember, everyone's usage will give them different averages on battery life.

Google services had allot of wakes, but I'm thinking is related to Spotify too.

Is location and Google now on? Again, if so... Not really seeing an issue with your screenshots.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fba9398:
Yeah, there both on, I can turn off location but I really don't want to turn off Google Now, it's something that should work perfectly on this phone and it should give that kind of problems, I've always felt like a always have a unexplainable problem with Nexus (software and battery), and it's happen with all my Nexus devices (Nexus 4,5, 7 (2013), 7 (2014).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No such thing as an issue that follows you from device to device. Lol Well, maybe a bad app you used on all of them... Or again, it's just how YOU use the phone.

Google now works just fine, but like any feature, it takes is share of battery life too. That's just life. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fba9398:
So nothing that is causing this issue? Just my phone, usage and luck?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00bs:
Isn't the problem because of Google Services? If all of your devices acting weird like that maybe it's due to configurations in your account.

See all your saved cards on google now, and check if you following updates for some artist/musician. I remember when I doing that, my wakelocks is bigger in Google Now.

And don't forget about your weak signal. Maybe I just wrong, I'm just trying to help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, as I said... Your screen shots anyway, don't show anything you haven't been able to explain.

You could just try a factory reset, or better, flash stock firmware clean with fastboot.

And reintroduce your apps a handful at a time per day, and keep an eye.

But really, I think it's your usage. And that's harder to fix. ?

Don't forget about your auto syncs as well. Multiple accounts auto syncing 24/7 on a poor signal connection is an easy way to drain your battery.

WiFi locations services (Battery saver or high accuracy modes) and rampant auto syncs are the biggest software culprits for battery drain, in my experience.

Does having the google now on hurts my battery? (location services off)

Because I really like the google now and if I'll turn it off it'll reset my cards... (I turn the location services here and there three or four times a day, usually no more then half a minute or so just to check the google now).

Also, having the data connection on while not downloading/uploading anything (assuming background apps arent doing anything as well) hurts my battery?
