[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't think play services issues would have anything to do with being rooted or not.

And on all my recent devices less than an hour held awake time in about a 24 hour period was my norm.

Much more than an hour in a day is too much. Though, listening to music will add to the held awake time. So kind of have to subtract music listening time from that. ?

Edit: I'll add, less than hour awake time was my norm... With my lean setup. The apps you have and your setup will definitely affect what's normal for you. But it's all drain regardless.

Help with Wakelock Detector

Hi folks,

Pretty much at the end of my tether with trying to get screenshots for this thread and hoping someone can help.

My device isn't rooted so I've installed GSAM and Wakelock Detector for PC. Problem is when I open WLD it tells me my device is not ready and I need to have ADB and drivers installed.

I've set my phone to USB debugging mode. And I've installed the ADB / fastbook thing from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Once i've opened the previously mentioned .exe I get a terminal prompt. Am I meant to type anything into it?

Thanks all

Nexus 5 battery

Hello, my nexus 5 battery has been draining significantly. Last night it was full charged ( 100%), i woke up at 8 am and 10 mins later it went to 0%. AT the afternoon i charged it to a 100% and 20 mins later, it shut down by itself. Please help me, i cant even pass the 20th min mark with my nexus after a full charge. :(

My Google Play Services has updated itself to version 7 a couple days ago. I still have no SystemUpdateService wakelocks in sight and I haven't done anything other than use the mentioned adb su pm disable commands when it was still on version 6, and to make sure, I did it again yesterday on version 7. I have also rebooted a couple times since.

Random shutdowns and self battery recharge

Hello,

My Nexus 5 keeps randomly turning off. The process/app being used at the time isn't always consistent, the only constant is that it is running on battery only (don't have the issue when using the phone while charging) It also happens on both wifi and LTE networks. As the attached pictures shows, when the phone is turned back on, the battery is extremely low, however after some idle time, the battery appears to recharge by itself, generally back towards the level it should be (prior to shutting down). This has only happened in the last 2-3 weeks and was well after the last software update (android 5.0.1)﻿. I am unclear whether this is a software issue or a dying battery. If there is anything else I can provide to assist let me know.

No big battery issues here, just wondering why held awake on the main screen says 2m, but what is audio offload wakelock? Shows over an hour and keeps building up. No audio running.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guavajuice:
on stock android, updated to 5.1 , there is more wakelock than before at the same settings( disabled location, only sync gmail, calendar, drive and keep). I boot my phone in safe mode and the wakelock persists so I don't think it has to do with my 3rd party apps. Attached screen shots show a lot of awake moments in safe mode.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
First of all, that's hardly any wakelocks. If you have the same setup as before, it does not necessarily mean you'll have the same amount of wakelocks. If an app is granted a wakelock, then you'll have a wakelock. This can depend on the amount of notifications you receive and your usage on that day, etc.

If you actually do have an issue, post the recommended screenshots mentioned in post 4. Otherwise there isn't anything at all we can tell you.

Hi all :)

I'm having a question about the radio usage on Google Play services.

On stock battery stats it is showing quite amount of battery consumption while on GSAM its not the main battery culprit.

Does someone have an idea what is causing this?

I dont have much apps installed. Usage is a little below average. I dont have location or wifi on and scanning always avaible disabled so is nfc disabled.

Any enlightment is welcome :)!

Once again, as per usual, the phone turns off even though it claims I have a decent amount of battery left.

I'm assuming the battery is on its way out but I need some confirmation.

And if it is on its last leg, what can be done, if anything.

Many thanks for whatever guidance you're able to provide.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Probably just the usual Google Now stuff. It needs to wake your phone often to update weather and your other cards.

Did you watch any videos? Do you have Hotword detection enabled?

Are you on 5.1? That issue seems to have been resolved in 5.1 for me. Otherwise you can toggle airplane mode on and off as a temporary work around.

That seems like a physical issue with the battery. You could try a replacement battery, genuine OEM battery sells for about $15.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
The battery is rated for a certain amount of charges (I think 500 maybe less) which can be reduced if it's exposed to any extreme temperatures, specifically while charging. Gaming while charging, for example.

Unfortunately many places sell fake batteries but claim they are Genuine. Case in point is the Amazon example you gave. Users reviews are all 1/5 stars because the battery actually says Samsung on it and doesn't get them nearly the same battery life as the genuine OEM one did.

Fake batteries will also degrade much quicker and have a higher probability of catastrophic failure (fiery explosion). Avoid fakes at all costs.

I'm sure there are other places that sell genuine ones other then etradesupply, that's just the only one I'm aware of at this time.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bei60:
Hey guys, I've been dealing with pretty bad battery life since forever and I think it might be something wrong with my phone.

I seriously tried every ROM, every kernel, every app, every setting to see if my battery drains for one of those reasons and it's not. I even switched carriers!

So the thing is, my battery is fine when my phone is idle. I greenified everything, have no apps running in the background, no notifications, downloads, syncing, location services, nothing. My phone will lose about 3% overnight which is great. But my problem is SOT.

I can only get 2 and a half ours of screen on time and I have no idea why. I don't even use heavy usage. I don't play games, I'm on facebook for about 40 minutes of total use during the day, maybe a couple videos on Youtube, Whatsapp mostly, reddit and some moderate use of chrome. All of these are concluded in, like I said, about 2 hours of SOT. After that I find my self looking for a charger and it sucks because my dad for example, has the same phone, not rooted, DOES have a lot of things syncing, uses the phone more than me for browsing, etc and he gets a MINIMUM of 4 hours SOT.

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my battery or phone itself.

I'm currently using stock 5.0.1 with f71 and xposed. I woke up, unplugged my phone, and after 30 SECONDS on Whatsapp, I'm down to 99%. Why does that happen?

Please don't refer me to this thread with all the tips, I've read it a lot of times and I've posted here before with all of my BBS stats. I barely got answers, and the answers I DID get, told me that I don't have anything wrong, wakelock-wise. The only thing that was wrong was my reception quality, and my dad and I are on the same carrier, living in the same area so it can't be the problem because I've switched carriers and tried everything.

I've ordered a new battery online, hope it will fix this problem but for now, hope you guys might be able to help me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimummind:
I've had similar issues. Nothing I did could prevent the phone from shutting off randomly once the battery reached 5% to 20%.

I tried calibration apps, flashed a different kernel, flashed both an original & custom 5.1 ROM after a clean full wipe and the battery would just suddenly give out.

I noticed the lower right side of the backcover had a slight bulge, which is a sign of a swollen & dying battery.

So I ordered a replacement battery & a phone opening toolkit & swapped in a new battery.

The bulge is gone and I now get 4.5 to 5 hrs of SOT in a 16 hr period on stock 5.1 with the Franco kernel.

As I know the services with the word "mdm" correspond to Android Device Manager.

See the attached screenshot, before searching tap "FULL/SHORT" to find all items.

Personally I use MyAndroidTools app, developed by the same person, because disabling only the service without the corresponding broadcast receivers will can cause even more wakelocks.

Edit: Before disabling the components in MyAndroidTools, under about screen you can backup your setup.

Is this fine 3 hours sot and 1 hour of calls?

I am on nexus 6, many people claims they are getting 6 hours of sot, but I never get that. What am I missing
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Your dad's usage is probably just a bit lighter than yours. Facebook on a data connection is a large drain BTW.

In the example you provided you were on point for 3 hours SoT of heavy usage. I say heavy usage because they're apps that are not exactly battery friendly and what appears to be on mostly mobile data. Also of the 3 hours or so provided the phone was awake for most of that time. P.S you should drain the battery further down to provide more accurate statistics, closer to 15%.

ROMs generally don't affect battery life and kernels just have a more frugal CPU governor to work with, if most of your drain is normal mobile data usage then that won't make much difference either.

You're not using the setting that disables your WiFi when the screen is off by any chance?

BTW Darth has been requesting you to use GSam, not BBS.

Different Usage, Settings and Signal will determine different battery life. I'm sure other N6 users can also see 3 hours SoT as well depending on their Usage, Setting and Signal, and would continue to do so without optimizing those factors.

In the same way that most N5 users will only see 2-4 hours SoT, but it is certainly possible to get 5+ even on stock ROM and kernel without root level adjustments.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix4nag:
My signal was 4 or 5 bars 90% of the time. I know that settings and usage effect battery life.. that's what I want to know... what are the settings getting 6 and 7 hours SOT. Yesterday I saw a persons screen shot with 7 hours SOT with 1day 5 hours battery time. where as in my case in 1 day if I have 2 hours SOT, I will be definitely below 20%. So I want to know what am I missing. I follow most of the settings on the battery life tips. some of them are use Bluetooth, Wifi and GPS only when needed. I don't play games, very rarely listen to music. screen brightness is very low when inside building.. greenify, sync off for all accounts except gmail. no vibrate etc.

Even after following so many techniques still I am getting only 3 or at max 4. but some are getting 5+ with stock, without making any changes. So I want to know, what is affecting on my usage. I always have this issue with my old phones aswell.. I never got 3+ sot on my previous phones. so just I want to know, what is the setting/usage that I have which reducing my battery life than others.

as you said, for N5, 2-4hours SOT is normal but can get 5+, so I want to know, what is that setting which can get that 1+ hour battery.. :)

You could be missing the possibility of a worn out battery :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix4nag:
the phone (Nexus 6) that I am using right now is less than 3months old phone, do you think battery can be worn out so quickly. This is not the problem with this phone only.. even my previous phones I used to get around same amount of SOT time where as others used to say 5+ SOT. it happened with different phones and different ROM's. So I think there is some settings that I am using which I shouldn't use. I am trying to find that one. Many people said uninstall facebook. when I greenify it or uninstall completely I am getting same battery I tried it. Some suggested to remove google sync completely, tried that I may be getting 15 to 20 mins extra SOT. this all with old phones..

but nexus 6, without any changes 6+ hours SOT. so I want to find what is that wrong setting or app that I am using which draining my battery. I checked my idle BBS log, I lost less than 1% in when phone Is idle. Once I start using the phone I loose 1% for every 2minutes.. so around 3 hours SOT, I need to charge again..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Did you read the first 3 posts of the thread? Most of the information you're looking for is there I think, and outlines screenshots that can be submitted for more help.

There are so many variables I couldn't even list them all. For instance Usage can mean the apps that are installed on the phone, the ones that run in the background, as well as the ones you actively use the screen with. Disabling apps like Google Fit can potentially make a difference as some apps tend to download background data even if you don't use them, alternatively you can select individual apps to "disable background data" in the Data Usage settings which only stops cellular background data not WiFi background data.

Usage also includes little things like if you slide your finger on the screen more then another person (as that activates the CPU, display and digitizer), how often you send a receive SMS (ever seen someone mention that with their battery results?) even how many times the phone rings throughout the day.

Settings covers a lot. People should at least mention major ones like Locations, Google Now and Auto Syncs because those tend to drain the most, but there are many more and they add up. If they have Locations on, are they on Deviece Only, do they have location history? If they have Auto Syncs on, did they uncheck the ones they don't need? If they had adaptive brightness on at 50%, did they use the phone in bright conditions or dim ones? Do they use photo backup, or did they sign out of Google+ completely? etc. etc.

Signal covers more than just bars as well. Someone using mostly cellular data will never see the same battery life as someone who uses mostly WiFi. Unless they specifically say, the battery graph is unreliable in this regard as it can show WiFi on when data was used and doesn't discern between cellular data or a voice only connection.

That's why I say it comes down to Usage, Settings and Signal. Those with more screen time than you are using more battery friendly apps on more battery friendly connections and with more battery friendly settings.

I love this thread

One simple thing I noticed is that using the Snapdragon Battery Guru app alone greatly decreased my battery usage and I recommend it to anyone using a snapdragon based device. It's usually the easiest fix for me when helping parents and people that don't understand all the stuff we do... just a thought. It really worked great for me. Turns off my wifi as soon as I'm out of range of my house and greatly decreased battery usage and allows me to set the network refresh for each application individually. I was curious if anyone else has tried it? It spends the first 3 days analyzing the way you use your phone they makes changes to preserve battery life. One of things I liked about it is A is was free and B it's from the SOC manufacturer who ought to know a lot about how their processor handles power. I've used the battery status before but am going to try gsam since you recommended it to see if more can be gained.
