[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
That's just it. I can't access the gsam times waking device and held awake time screens. Where are they? When I tap on the wakelocks line in gsam nothing happens. No additional screen opens up. Where are the gsam times waking device and held awake time screens?

Here are some more Wakelock screens but they're since I recharged.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I mentioned before, they are in the app usage section in gsam. There's a drop down menu at the top.

Kernel wakelocks are there too.

They should be there, if you installed gsam root companion and ran it once. :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Sorry for being so stupid. I did not realize all these screens existed till now. Here they are.

This night battery dropped from 100% to 64. One complicating factor: yesterday titanium Backup updated and I forgot to give it root. So I got a message this morning that it failed to back up during the night. Don't know if that would have messed things up.

Do any of these show which app I should get rid of?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Phone app is waking you a lot, and you didn't use it.

Kernel OS is out of control and there could be many reasons for that.

You'd be best to clean flash your rom or stock and install only a handful of apps each day. If your issue returns, then it's an app you installed that day.

Not sure what else to do here. Sorry!

I tried turning off the smart lock feature that unlocks the phone when connected to a known Bluetooth. That helped some but not completely so I turned off Bluetooth over the weekend and it did fix it. Any I thought on how to tell if it's the AOSP bug or some app that went out of control after an update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arlenwoot:
Could try uninstalling any apps that use bluetooth and reinstall one by one to see which is bugging out or if your rom has a privacy/app ops feature you could disable just bluetooth access.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
I am just Stock and Without root. Dose it have the privacy feature you mention. If not i will try uninstalling.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YevOmega:
Nexus 6 running July 1st Chroma on Hellsgod B8 Mako kernel. I'm underclocked to 1728Mhz and using the Conservative governor. Can't say I'm really liking what this kernel is doing in terms of battery life. Might go back to Zen. This cycle was rather typical for me, except that I didn't have my Android Wear watch connected as much as I usually do. Did some reading, some gaming, emailing, hangouts messaging. Minimal calling. Watched a couple of videos. Brightness was generally low but I had to turn it up when in the sun for maybe 45 mins total screen on. I've had GSam for about a week now, but I don't think it saves the data from previous days, so I'm just posting my latest cycle. Also have BBS, but it reset its data when I plugged in just now. If you need more info lmk. Thanks for the help. Hoping to get the SOT closer to 5/6 hrs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a5pe4:
I switched back to kit Kat a couple of days ago and am no longer experiencing the mobile radio active bug that has plagued my phone in lollipop and M. My battery life has significantly improved. Unfortunately the trade-off of great design and animations is trumped by the all important battery life that Google doesn't care about. Project Volta my ass.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure what the times are generally like on a N6, but you had some bad signal, cell standby in your app drain screen would be from that most likely. And it looks like you played some games?

Other than that, nothing seems out of place. Your usage and setup are likely the only reason for your times. Someone with better signal, less demanding usage and a leaner setup will obviously get higher times than you.

Not much else to say, there's no real issues I see other than those. :)

Edit: See post number 2.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YevOmega:
Fresher shots. The signal strength was much better because I switched radios. Also switched to Zen Kernel. Otherwise, same setup. Also, Monument Valley is by no means demanding, and I played it for like a half hour. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Over 3 hours of music won't be included in screen time, so that needs to be taken into consideration. ...and over Bluetooth maybe? Just see that Bluetooth is on.

I'd post in and look through the n6 battery thread to compare a bit....but it seems that may just be the norm for your setup and usage.

Again, nothing that bad showing. I always had doubts about lightflow too... And it woke your device over 900 times. That's fairly excessive to me.

Good luck! :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YevOmega:
I uninstalled LightFlow yesterday. Music was over wired headset. Bluetooth is on because I have an Android Wear. Thought I mentioned that. My bad. I'm going to try

Not an xposed fan, but cool guide!

More for standby drain than drain while in use, but maybe it helps a bit. :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joy Bangla:
my nexus drains from 100% to 85% pretty quickly in about ~1.5hrs on just standby. after that i get 1.5% per hour drain on standby which is normal. does this point to battery problem?

Also can someone tell me the symptoms that show i need a battery replacement ??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
See Post 4. :good:

Without screen shots, who can know what the issue may be.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MulchShake:
As of a few days ago my Nexus 5 standby battery life has gotten awful. It is awake almost at all time even overnight. I tried the suggestions from with the Disable Service App settings from the original post. That was an improvement, but nowhere near what it was before. The below are after the Disable Service changes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
22 hours of held awake time..

Definitely not good. And since it's not from a regular app, hard to pin down why.

I would start by streamlining big time for a few days. I'd implement everything from post two. If things are better, turn services back on one a day, ungreenify social apps one a day. If your awake time jumps up again, it's something you just enabled. Culprit found.

If practicing everything in Post 2 doesn't help, might need to just skip to reflashing your rom... Clean flash.

Edit: Anything you've changed or installed recently could have caused it to.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joy Bangla:
by mistake i lost the BBS screenies.:(

device is in deep sleep most of the time. minimal wakelocks.

also can you tell me how to know if battery needs replacing. Thanx bro.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MulchShake:
I may need to just reflash then as I don't use any social media apps. No new apps have been installed recently aside from Disable Service. Is there any way to see which apps updated recently? An update could be the culprit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Just wanted to give you some feedback. I clean flashed my stock 4.4.4, reinstalled xposed, gravitybox, and xprivacy, and gradually all my apps using tibu. The battery problem disappeared. I'm now only losing about 3% battery during the night and no wakelocks. So I'm grateful for your help. I still don't know what app was at fault (suspect it might have been cputuner) but all is well now. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I noticed just recently (maybe 2 weeks ago) my battery will drain extremely fast when using it (standby it still seems to get good life)

I will be on it, say between 50-70% and it shuts off. Turn it back on and its like 3-15%, and then it seems to 'charge' itself from there.

The case on the side with the volume rocker is bulging slightly, not sure if its from dropping it a few times or if the battery is bad and expanded.

any other possibilities? If I need a new battery where can I get an OEM one or better that will fit without any modifications. If not I can get a new phone because my contract has been up for 2 years.

Not a fan of the nexus 6 tbh, and nothing really is appealing on the market atm. I'd like to keep the nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hard to say anything with those screen shots. You do have some extra awake time for sure though... Mostly the last part of the cycle. If you're gaming... That will drain you fast too.

Not seeing the shots from post 4 in the thread make it hard to judge.

Bad battery is rare though. Many jump to that conclusion and are disappointed when they get the new battery and it's still not good. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Really the play store pages are the only way, that I know of. See when things were updated. I update manually always... So I know exactly when updates happen.

Still having issues after a fresh flash. Location off, Gnow off, Data off (wifi only), zero social apps. Including a battery graph as well so the issue is better illustrated. Something is causing period extreme battery drain while the phone is idle. Radio signal is at a 2 or 3 the entire time according to GSAM.

why my phone charge too slow, 45% to 85%spend 8 hours
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
I Nexus 5 stock on 5.1.1 - no root.

All of a sudden I have a new battery problem where the battery will drop from over 50% to zero instantly and turn off. When I turn it back on it wants to shutdown right away due to less than 1% battery left. Any clue what could be causing this and how to fix it? Is this the sign of a bad battery or some app? I have attached some screen shots.

Thank you for the help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
I was at 17% and I just tried rebooting into Safemode and all of a sudden it has 80%. something is deffinatly messing with the battery stats. Could it be Gsam?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.1983:
For me it was the same: the battery dies from over 50%. You have to replace your battery, which is at the end of life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
Is it hard to do? Who sells it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.1983:
No, very easy. You'll be happy again afterwards! Go to ebay or similar places. You'll need some special tools to open your case and to remove the battery. There are also YouTube videos, explaining this procedure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
Ok Thanks, Ordered on from amazon and also the special tool. Hopefully it lasts till it gets here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eskildybvik:
The issues are back :(.

I now also have the problem mentioned above. The phone will die while using it at around 40%. I've tried calibrating the battery, no improvements. My previous screenshots match my current stats.

I'm thinking about trying to take it back to the store, but it's 1,5 years old...

Thanks.

Hi. I've been having this sort of battery drain. The phone seems to be draining a lot when idle and I'm not sure what is causing it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateonexus4ever:
Fresh install

Hey everyone I have done a fresh install, factory reset and started all over again, battery drains pretty quickly and then around 70-80 percent it shuts off as if there is no battery left. I can do the BBS and wakelock detector however it doesn't really stay on that much to get good data. When I'm not using it at all, it has good battery life, however if I use it for anything just shuts off.

Time to replace the battery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.1983:
Jep! You'll need to replace it. If you don't use your phone, the battery is strong enough to handle the load. But if there is a more intensive usage, the battery won't be able to supply the system with enough power.

How much better is your mobile signal on the Moto X vs Nexus 5?

Android Central did a comparison. The signal is a big drain issue.

http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-5-vs-moto-x
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Different areas may be different... But at home where my signal is terrible... I was pleasantly surprised by the N5 radio. Almost as good as my X. And the N5 battery has been almost as good too. I expected less of the N5, and for me anyway... I was wrong. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashallthetime:
No difference at all, major difference is the screen without a doubt, my setup on nexus and moto x are the exact same, same ROM ,same apps and under heavy usage.

Love the nexus the only draw backs is the battery

Moto X to a Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, as you mentioned... Usage plays a big part....very big. :)

I mostly use Tapatalk, browser and text. That's generally it for my normal usage.

That and everything I put in post 2, gives me 24 hours and 5 to 6 SoT. My X was about 6 to 7 SoT and 30 hours total....under same usage and setup.

But I can see where certain activities would probably drain the N5 quicker than the X....just not the ones I take part in. Lol

I think screen brightness would be a big factor comparing the 2. Best to keep the N5 as dim as is comfortable for sure. Its surely a bigger drain than the X screen.

Hopefully you're getting decent battery for this device anyway. ;)

I'm getting very poor battery life recently. I have location off, sync on and google now on. Hot word not enabled in my country.

My data connection is intermittent due to network upgrades in my area. I wonder if that is the reason why I'm getting these issues. Please see screenshots below of BBS

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Powermanagerservice is partial wakelocks....probably due to apps looking for data.

BAM dmux is apps using data, or trying too.

And Checkin is Google....looking for data. Lol

So yeah, I'd say if you're having data issues....there's your bad guy. :)

Simple to test. Disable data. You'll still get calls and texts. Or airplane mode, but you'll get nothing. Or get in WiFi.

Do this for a day, or most of a day and likely all three of those wake locks will go away. Or be significantly less. Your phone only slept 2 hours and some.....that's terrible. And a bad dara signal is about the worst battery drainer an android phone can have.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] definator:
hey guys,

i hope i am right in this channel

i am using stock right now for a long time and i am fcuking pissed with battery life of the n5

it was awesome in beginnings, switched roms etc. was kind of bad, got a good rom and was awesome again. but was annoyed by instability of some roms.

switched back to stock and since then its "sometimes its good, most times it horrible"

i dont want any information about how to tweak battery life. i know that on my own

i want some suggestion for a solid max battery life base of a rom+kernel (coz i have no idea about current roms etc.)

its just too many stuff out there and roms/kernel change too much in half a year (from good to bad or other way round) that i can say whats good right now.

idc about performance. just long standby times low consumption with low onscreen usage. i dont play around with my phone

i am really close before selling this phone....... :mad:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b666m:
try stock android m dp3 with custom kernel (elementalx, electroactive, blu_spark, hells core, etc.) - i'm running it since dp2 and had no problems so far.

the doze feature provides awesome standby time.

onscreen usage depends mainly on the chosen cpu governor (elementalx, electroactive and blu_spark have great custom governors) - so just test some kernels.

(i compared all of the kernels with their default values and elementalx suits me best - just fyi)
