About a week (maybe more) Google Services are killing my battery, I never had that problem, I updated to the last version and I still have the same issue; after I did a factory reset (my phone needed it after more than a year without a factory reset) so I took the advantage to fix the problem and clean all the internal memory of my device but for my surprise, the problem still persist :/, plus, I lost signal a lot, everything came to the same time, the signal problem and the Google services issue.

Hi!

Battery of my nexus 5 stuck at 77% and have fast drain. Is not possible to charge up this number, i had phone connected all night and still stuck at 77%.

At first i thought problem was the battery but i changed it and problem still there, even with new battery.

I tried with everything, changing rom, stock rom, doing wipe cache, all wipes, tried to calibrate battery, but problem keep touching my balls.

Can anybody help me please? Do you think that problem is from hardware issue?

Thanks!

My wife's rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4 has been having a problem with the battery quickly running down and the phone becoming hot. I assumed (maybe I'm wrong) that some app was running continuously in the background. Using GSam battery app I think the culprit is Google Play. (see screenshots).

So, I deleted Google Play cache and rebooted a couple of times but the problem persists. Not sure what else to do and would appreciate some advice. Thank you.

Yeah, so I know it's quite stupid but, is there a way to regain battery life? I tried using the battery then when it runs out(not all out) I fully charge it and it does help a bit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorandroid:
You can benefit from battery calibration (app) but you will most likely have to greenify your apps, lower down the screen brightness, turning off various google services, notifications , also setting up different kernel governors which affects battery life and so on and so on... :)

Hi all,

I have bought a new Nexus 5 Battery and still there is a problem. The battery curve goes down quickly even if I put the phone in Airplane mode and device isn't being used.

If I charged the device and then let the device on the table without any use. shouldn't stay at least for 1 week?

kindly find the screenshots. I have the latest Pure Nexsus Rom rooted.

For these screenshots i charged the phone and didn't use it for 7 hours. you can see that the battery drain quickly from 100 to 90 without any use then drop slowly as the time goes. This is the new battery and the same for the old.

and i have done something on the old battery. i have charged the phone and then shut it down and after 10 hours i turned it on.

the battery was 79% so i thought that the battery need to be replaced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRK666:
I have the issue, the battery drains quickly from 100 to 90. Replaced the battery with an OEM one and the issue persists, but after the battery reaches 90% the issue disappears. Don't know what is the exact cause but tried different roms but with the same results. Also I've installed only gapps and the issue is still present.

Now I'm on stock with greenify, wifi and Bluetooth scanning off, google app disabled and getting about 3.5 hours of SOT in one day of usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3liswaid:
Before I bought the new battery, I have tried the following to ensure that my problem is software or hardware:

1-install Kitkat on my device.

2-delete all the apps that I have and observe the performance, but without any enhancement.

3-buy a new battery which is better than the old one by a small factor and the same issue persists.

I don't know what to do. when i bought the device 2 years ago. when i put the device away and don't use it the battery still constant without any drain.

it drains 1% for 10 hours of Standby.

now it drains 3% for each hour without a use.

i think there is a problem in the software or Kernel that cause to drain the battery quickly.

In case someone else has a similar situation, the update from apkmirror solved the problem. It would not install on top of the faulty installed one. So I, created a nandroid backup, uninstalled the existing one, and installed the new one. Since then, all is well.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bocabits:
Good morning fellow Nexus 5 users, I've been suffering from battery drains since a few weeks ago and I have tried some of the tips I've found on the web. Currently I'm on android 6.0.1, recent factory reset done after wiping cache. I've tried several chargers also.

Yesterday I charged the phone to 100% and waited for over an hour to use it (No GPS, WiFI connection, no games, nothing)

21% was gone doing nothing. I checked again this morning and used WhatsApp and Twitter. Battery dropped.

These are the GSam screenshots

Is anything else I can do or I order a new battery?

Thanks you!!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jendrassik:
I've been a N5 user since day one and still can't figure out how to fix my battery drain even though I've tried everything this post suggests.

What happens is that wifi is shown to stay on in battery stats but, as we know, it shouldn't affect battery life. What I realized though is that switching wifi off and rebooting my phone after wifi has been used or just turned on improves battery life significantly. Moreover this procedure makes wifi disappear from battery stats ( what I mean is the "History details" screen).

Is there anyone who has figured out how to fix this?

Thank u all. I've been looking through XDA forums for months without finding an answer.

Never seen such a thing. I'd say they messed up your phone. The system isn't communicating with the battery...at all. No ups, no downs.

The only 2 things I think you could try before sending it back to them is a factory reset. If that doesn't help, flash stock firmware again.

If it does the same after that, its definitely a hardware issue.

I too am facing the problem of the aging nexus 5 battery. Accubattery assesses the battery to be at 77% but it seems much worse. So, I'm considering a replacement.

But I've read of variable results for battery replacements. The early results are often gratifying - but, because original nexus 5 batteries have not been manufactured in years - in a few months the user is back to where he started because the replacement battery itself was not that fresh.

So, I'm here for advice. Is it worth replacing the aging battery? With an original n5 battery or a different one? Or should I just get a new phone?

Thanks.

Hi guys, so after trying to cure my htc m8's bad battery with different ROM's and kernel combinations, I've decided to take some expert help.

I bought my htc m8 just a fortnight back, and have been witnessing bad battery since then. The device I got my hands on was a new device, not a used one, so theoretically the battery was unused.

A few days later after buying, the battery started dying at ~20%. So I contacted the vendor and he just changed the battery with a new one.

And with this new battery, the shut down problems have disappeared but the m8 still doesn't fail to disappoint. The battery life on this is extremely frustrating. Just yesterday I charged it to 60% and returning back home from college after ~7.5 hrs the battery had reached 5%, with just ~1.5 hrs of listening to music with my earphones.

I'm on the latest 6.25.XXXX firmware for the Sprint M8, Super SU 2.82, S Rom(*latest) with the Elemental X 7.0.11 kernel.

And what is the most annoying part is the severe battery drain on idle state. You can see from the screenshots well that how the battery has reached from 100% charge to 82% with no screen on time and just cellular network on in just ~10 hrs. I even don't have Google Play Services working behind the scenes:(

I'm attaching some GSAM screenshots. Sorry, don't have time to attach the BBS dumpfile as I'm in a hurry, just tell me if that is needed too. Please help guys:(

Thank u:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevica Smederevac:
Maybe you think it is new. I highly doubt that since it's a 3,5 years old model. More likely refurbished one. The replacement battery can also be old, stockpiled for years.

Anyway, maybe you can get a better answer in M8 thread, now you are in Nexus 5;)

Ebay for genuine battery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
I sometimes wonder if some of the things we do to prolong battery life (I'm waiting for a replacement battery to arrive) may be counter productive - creating slowdowns and lag - but I don't know enough to know which is why I am asking.

Could blocking some services, wakelocks, etc. in apps like Amplify, save battery but at the cost of extended lag and slowdowns?

Same question for apps like Greenify that hibernate apps when the display is off?

Could a long hosts file, adblockers, and firewall make your browser slow down as it repeatedly tries unsuccessfully to reach doubleclick and similar before finally going on to the actual website you requested?

I have no doubt these actions do save battery but do they do it at the cost of a slower and more laggy phone?

I don't know. I am just asking because my phone seems more laggy than it used to and I am wondering if my meddling is the reason. Just want learn.
