[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure why Android OS is awake the entire time... That's unusual. But your very low signal will be draining you pretty bad too.

Try disabling data for a couple hours, see if it sleeps. Also turn off Gnow and location during this test. And see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiiiiiid:
I did with the Data off and my location is almost always off. But the result was exactly the same. Phone just never sleeps.

I use x-rom with the default kernel for extra info.

Please tell me what should I do. It kills me.

Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I wouldn't say common at all... But it does happen. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daewond3r:
I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my battery life had taken a huge turn for the worst (12-ish hours, barely 3 hours screen on time). After dealing with it for a week or two (hoping it would go away) I finally reinstalled Better Battery Stats and let it do its thing.

Turns out the culprit was the "OK Google" on any screen feature. Needless to say the drain wasn't worth it for me. I turned it off and I'm back to a whole day of use and about 4–4.5 hours screen on time.

Just thought I'd post this here in case anyone else is puzzled by the sudden loss in battery life.

[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] Long time no troll XD. I got rid of Greenify even after buying the donation package. Makes my Android System battery/CPU usage go through the roof.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Gsam won't show any stats to show its reception. I guess there's no way to meter battery loss from poor signal.

But definitely without question poor and a lot of times zero reception is the problem above.

All you can really do is disable data in poor reception areas. Or airplane mode. But in airplane mode you won't get calls or texts. Tho it seems you wouldn't anyway with all that red.

Just cause you aren't using apps for data....doesn't matter. Really weak signal while data is on is the biggest battery drain android can have.

Tough situation really. Data off, airplane mode or get on WiFi is all that can help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
cr@p - not what I was hoping for.

With airplane mode, battery drain was minimal overnight (from 100% to 98%). So it is the new radio that's screwing it up?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Doesn't necessarily have to be. It works fine for me, if not better than the old. Although it does seem to vary from one person to another, but it might also be that you're just unlucky lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I doubt its the radio....tho you can flash the last one again and see. Your signal is really bad....I think the radio difference would be slight....and not solve the issue. Help a bit maybe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Well, the signal is actually significantly better with the 4.4.3 update. With 4.4.3, I get RSRP of better than -95dBm (while it was much worse with 4.4.2 radio). If you look at the battery graphs that I posted in my previous post, signal strength is showing pretty good - that's why I was shocked to see battery "normal" overnight battery drain with airplane mode. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
I know its there, was hoping he knew of an app that could do it.

EDIT: Is lower better (i.e. -105dbm> -85dbm)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalcheck - this is what I use. I think there is a free version as well (that should give you signal strength too)

This app has additional features for Sprint users (like location of the tower etc)

And yes, since these are negative values, lower is better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
Interesting, I pulled a -100 to -105dbm when I'm on 2g, around -78 to -83dbm on 3g, and -80 to -87 on LTE. So I should sit on 2G as much as possible then?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Doesn't matter which one, as long as it doesn't drop often or at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
no. LTE is giving you the best signal. -80 is better than -100
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aXiDroid:
I can't access the Battery stats. When I tap on battery in settings it closes and message pops: "Applications Settings has stopped working".

Same with Xprivacy turned off.

:confused:

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
First, try Gsam. See if it works.

But obviously something has gotten corrupt on your system. I am only guessing....in a hurry....but you may be looking at flashing your ROM or stock again.

If you're on a rom, just dirty flash it again. Without wiping anything. See if you can get in after. If not....its probably an app stopping you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aXiDroid:
App doesn't shows the stats either.

What about Battery Calibration by NéMa? It whipes battery stats, so this may help with the issue. Right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I doubt it. You can try.

I'd first try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery.

Then if it still doesn't work....dirty flash your ROM again. No wipes.

If you're on stock, then you may need to reflash stock with fastboot.

Try whichever one without any wipes.

Failing all that.... Probably have to clean flash ROM or stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityameena26:
I have got more than 12 hours of battery backup in this cycle

What going wrong..help please..!!

location turned off..brightness as frm gsam was maximum times in dark and sometime in dim..:0
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Your network signal is horrible. Look at that bar in your last screenshot. It's not constantly green or even yellow but instead constantly cuts off. Sometimes for longer and sometimes less. A bad signal is the absolute battery killer.

You can try to help yourself by flashing a different radio or if your rom is known to have issues with a certain network then try another rom. 4.4.4 was just released and includes a new radio image.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityameena26:
Flashed new radio just now..anyways my Vodafone India 3g gives me maximum 2 bars..I think I should switch to 2g when not using 3g data..

Other than radio thing..from my attached screenshot of last post..cn u please tell that battery consumed by screen is normal or not?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think this is definitely a good idea.

There is no right or wrong answer to this mate. It's affected by screen brightness and if you are using your phone in bright daylight or sunshine then obviously the SOT will be worse. About 4 hours is okay for SOT on the Nexus 5 depending on your usage and if your standby time was better you could probably get more.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I only use it for social apps since I only check them once every day or so lol. I don't Greenify anything I actually use. Only uses more battery than it saves if you Greenify too many things, and it's only useful for apps that give unwanted wakelocks.

You're probably just Greenifying everything just like how you disable every single service lol.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YassinTP:
Got some problems with my N5 battery: My device was replaced two weeks ago and the first one got me about 1 to 1,5 days of battery, depending on usage. The new one, however, struggles to get past the 1 day-mark.

The only thing I can imagine is me having moved to a new apartment where signal isn't too great - most of the time, I have 2-3 bars 3G or EDGE, sometimes 0 bars 4G. This causes the signal bar in the battery usage panel to be yellow most of the time.

However, I can't believe that this makes so much of a difference. Today, I reached 6h20 battery life with 2h40 DOT, mostly email/web surfing and now, I have to recharge.

Can this completely be a consequence of the weak signal? Or is it likely that the new phone's battery is faulty?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
One quick, does having NFC on use any battery ?

i use it for tags in the car and home/work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes. Sometimes it can even create a wakelock. Turn of when not in use.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

No it's not faulty. It's definitely your signal. Look at your dBm not your bars. Bars are inaccurate. If you get better dBm on 3G (lower the # the better) then stick to 3G. Your battery will thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
Thanks, just changed my settings, so i use tasker with secure settings to enable NFC for 5 sec when screen is on. gotta figure out how to wait 2 seconds before and only turn on if screen still on, you know, so i can see nofications quickly and turn screen off again before it turns NFC on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Absolutely. Signal plays a huge role on battery since it's constantly trying to find a signal. What I would recommend is going to Settings > More> Mobile Networks and choose 3G as preferred. I do this at work since I'm on Wifi anyway and it helps. The 3G signal is very strong, but the LTE is barely there, so the phone constantly tries to connect to the LTE. By choosing 3G as preferred it should stay on the 2-3 bars and help.

Although some people say signal doesn't have much impact on battery as long as you're on wifi (not using data), I would try that out and see if it helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I've never turned off NFC since day 1 and I've never used it.. I'd say doesn't matter LOL.

Okay, I have a huge battery drain problem and I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I am running Paranoid Android 4.5 Beta 2 on my Nexus 5 along with ElementalX 1.04 with double tap enabled (Although this issue was still here a week ago when I didn't have double tap to wake enabled). The only issue I've been having is with LocationManagerServices partial wakelock and this stays on literally the whole time my device is off the charger. It won't allow my phone to go into deep sleep and I can't pinpoint the issue. I apologize if the colors are off on some of the screenshots because I didn't have time to disable the filters before it died. (I'll take another screenshot tomorrow. My BBS stats are off because I restarted a few times after unplugging it, but basically the top one never goes away). I should also mention this is happening when my locations services are OFF. I have no idea how to fix this problem. It persists across roms and kernels and it has been haunting me for the past week. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] I just wanted to show you that it was CM killing my battery. Even after multiple clean flashes and 3 separate builds I was still getting that good battery even after nuking all wakelocks and Google Play Services. Today I went back to PA (Don't know why I ever left) and my battery even on the first discharge is much better. Android System isn't going nuts either. Oh and I did get rid of like 150 Apps. Lol had like 200 b4. Most icon packs and themes but still. THIS WAS ALSO WITH 4 HOURS OF PANDORA!! So i am pretty pleased :) So here's my battery life
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I always say roms and kernels can't really effect battery life much. But occasionally they can.... But not make it better, if they have a big impact, it's usually to the negative side. Lol

CM does like their bugs these days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
I agree completely KJ. I think CM is smoothing out bugs right now and so battery is taking a toll.

Edit: any idea about that 4 wakelock [MENTION=4036181]KJ[/MENTION] I did have SystemUI Restart on me and a couple of hot reboots too so that probably caused it.

SystemUI wakelock? Never really seen that before. You're on PA? I'd ask them. But my money is on the theme engine. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
You seriously have to stop thinking that usage = wakelock. I wouldn't even say that 11% SystemUI over 15 hours is bad, I've had 20% SystemUI over the same amount of time before.

And that isn't a wakelock, that's SystemUI continuously doing something strange when its in view, aka when the screen is on.

Hardly a wakelock if its not locking your device awake.
