if the problem is with my battery, should i replace it with the same battery kind or use lg g3 battery ? what's your advice to me?

Can anyone check my stats at #2592 please?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Keep the same. I'm not fond of inappropriate batteries.

Your last screenshot is useless since your charged your device during the test. Your battery drain is mainly due to Facebook, Google Fit, Lyft. Your phone is often woken up by these apps, that's why "Kernel" is at the top of the 4th screenshot.

If you do need them then check if you can reduce their consumption by reducing the sync, cloud backup,...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chouiyekh:
I suffer from the problem of turn off phone automatically, especially when the battery level is reduced to less than 50 percent, as you can see in the picture, the level of battery consumption between 1 am to 7 am, is excellent, but the problem occurred after hours and the phone turns off automatically, and I could not restart it, because the battery level is 0 %. And after that i recharge the battery pack, it was shipped fully in less than half an hour !

Your battery is nearly dead. You have to replace it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplcj:
Completly forgot to report back...

You were right about the battery being dead. Thank you for the help. It also helped my problem with a Bluetooth wake lock killing the battery (from a previous post). I haven't checked if the wake lock is still happening but at a minimum there is enough battery so I don't notice the massive drain any more.

It wasn't hard to replace, but I wasn't careful taking it apart and broke the housing at the sim card tray. Still works fine and it's always in a case so I am fine with it. I just wish I could have found an OEM or name brand battery. Only thing I could find on Amazon was one with tape over the LG logo so it's probably a knockoff. Seems to work fine though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.1983:
Glad to here. I bought mine on eBay. There were/are many offers here in Germany. Like you said, you have to be careful when removing it. But it's easier than I was thinking about.

Does anyone have any thoughts on post 2568?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Additional information from BBS could help. In your last screenshot we see a high consumption by Phone radio. Try this fix: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393

Your battery chart shows that you have an important battery drain every x minutes. I would bet on synchronisations, auto process at least. Are DT2W, S2W... disabled?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MulchShake:
After checking what DT2W and S2W are they don't seem to be enabled as double tapping and swiping on a turned off screen doesn't seem to do anything.

What other information from BBS did you want? I would rather give you all the information you ask for before going and figuring out how to install Xposed and some maybe works maybe doesn't patch that might not even apply.

Thanks for the help.

No need to flash another kernel but restore the stock settings if needed (and no DT2W, S2W...).

Battery charging problems Please help!!

Having battery and charging problems on the Nexus 5 (running stock android 5.1.1) for the last few days. It charges a couple of percent an hour (estimated full charge in 4 days). And as soon as I take it off the charger it drops rapidly. Have another Nexus 5 so swapped out the battery and it's all normal on the other N5 so it's not the battery or charging cable. Any idea how to fix this. So frustrating. Please help!!

No screenshot because it takes 10 hours to get to 10 percent now on this phone.

battery wont charge after replacing it

hey guys,

i hope this is the right thread.

i just replaced my nexus 5 battery and now have the problem, that its not charging anymore. funny thin is, its showing the charging symbol in the statusbar but when i go into settings its tells me "not charging".

obviously its not the charger, if tried many different ones. i also tried rebooting (also safemode).

i hope i didnt break anything while replacing the battery.

does anyone know what i could do?

edit: i just found out that the chraging symbol appears as well when the phone is off.

my power bank also indicates that the phone is charging.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, it's clearly a hardware issue. Incompatible battery, or install issue. Not sure what else to offer you.

I'd likely break down and take it to a shop in this case.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Sorry for the late reply!

This is not a idle dump file but I have a few suggestions to improve your battery life:

• Reduce alarms with Amplify

• Restrict network connection with AFWall+

• Check the settings or try lighter apps instead of Maps, Dolphin, Inbox, Google Now, cLock, Whatsapp, YouTube...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix4nag:
I dont have amplify app..

Just now I installed AFWall+ and I will explore the app.

I stopped using Inbox and Google now. replaced inbox with gmail.

what are lighter apps for these apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You should give Amplify a try.

Check all settings related to sync, location...

Try using OsmAnd instead Maps, Next/Maxthon/Lightning browser instead of Dolphin, your browser instead of YouTube, Weather 360 instead of cLock and so on...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix4nag:
Thanks for your suggestions. Once I looked into to Amplify, after seeing its paid app, I didn't proceed after that.. I will look into it, if its really helpful. also, cLock is different from Clock right?

UPDATE: just installed xposed, greenify and amplify and following the above two threads to update my settings and report back with my battery stats. Thanks once again..

Yep. Clock (deskclock package) doesn't provide weather for example.

I followed steps in 2nd link for Greenify and Amplify. I haven't got approval from powernap to download it.

These are my idle stats from yesterday night. Looks pretty impressive. (These includes cLock also. just now I removed it.)

Re-seat the SIM Card - worked for me!

Twice now I've had very flaky behavior with my Nexus 5. The first time, MMS wasn't working. This time, I had horrendous battery drain unless I disabled WiFi, Bluetooth and Location Services.

I popped out the SIM card and waited a minute, then put it back in and waited for my cellular signal to be restored (a couple minutes), then rebooted for good measure, and I'm back in business.

I had previously tried several things, like battery "calibration" and re-installing the stock image and removing recently-installed apps, but none of that helped.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mag01:
During the last 2 weeks or so I'm experiencing pretty much the same issues with battery drain as [MENTION=5193710]MulchShake[/MENTION] described in his post #2568

I occasionally use BetterBatteryStats to identify such battery drain issues, but this time there's simply nothing to see there. Nothing that would explain it at all. If I charge the phone and leave it overnight it loses like 30% while staying in deep sleep 99% of the time, with just few minor wakeups that have always been there. This happens even with mobile data, Bluetooth, WiFi and Location services disabled.

I even tried re-inserting the SIM card as is described by [MENTION=3464588]bschartung[/MENTION] in the above post, but to no avail.

I will try to fully re-flash with Android 6.0 (once released) to see if there would be any difference, but there most likely won't.

Because my case isn't the only one I think this phone is prone to some sort of partial hardware malfunction that causes this.

Battery announces wrong

Good morning guys,

I am expriencing a strange behaviour with my battery last week. My battery is after charging to 100% draining fast to 70-75%. When I leave my phone in deep sleep after that, it's gone up to 80-85%. I think it is something with the calibration of my battery. I have tried the following things:

- Reflash whole ROM (After full wipe)

- Different kernels

- Different radio's

- Calibrating with an app from the Play Store (wipe batterystats.bin doesn't work on N5?)

I hope someone can give me an explanation/workaround to get it back to normal :good:

Hello,

I meet many battery problems since android 5.1 but I'm not sure that this is linked. My Nexus was purchased in November 2013 and I've never root it.

The battery drains very quickly regardless of the application used (google chrome, games, gmap, camera ...) the phone has an autonomy ~ 40 minutes in activity and crash at 15% battery life.

I tried a reboot to factory parameters, without success, and I look forward android M.

And this last days the wireless charging stop working (I tried with another phone (the charger works) and another charger without success) :confused:

You will find in attachments, some screenshots of "GSAM battery Monitor"

If I have to replace the battery could someone give me a link to a vendor with original nexus 5 battery?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
These screenshots don't provide a lot of information

If you need help to analyze your battery life, please use BetterBatteryStats to report logs.

1. Charge your phone to 100% then unplug it.

2. Leave your phone idle for at least 7 hours (do not touch the screen)

3. Open BBS and make sure that the start reference is "Unplugged" and the stop reference is "Current" or "Screen on"

4. Hit the Share button, select "Text Dumpfile" and save. The file is stored in the root of your sdcard.

5. Attach it in this thread

Note: Make sure that "Enable while charging" is NOT checked in BBS > Settings > Advanced

So quick update to my issues described in post #2639.

Even after fully flashing the Android 6.0 factory image (e.g. full wipe) and leaving things to settle down a bit the battery drains as before (though the phone claims to be in sleep mode most of the time). So it's really hardware related. I'll try to bring it somewhere for repair.

[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] : here is the dump file
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Without root I confirm that the dump file isn't relevant.

All I can say is that your deep sleep isn't high enough (only 82%) and 20m at 2,27 GHz (CPU) is abnormal during an idle drain. You probably have one or several apps that wake up your device every x minutes/hours.

Check the basic things to improve your battery life: location, sync,... If it doesn't change anything, remove your biggest apps one by one until you notice an improvement.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You can improve your idle drain if you work on these 3 points:

1. Install Amplify and reduce your main wakelocks NlpCollectorWakeLock and NlpWakeLock (allow every 40000 seconds)

2. With Privacy Guard, activate the protection for Google Services & Framework and disable Wake up and Keep awake.

3. GMail uses a lot of juice due to the synchronization. Disable (or reduce) it.

If your battery is going down faster then before it can come from new updates, new apps, bugs in the software, new features and so on...

Charge your device to 100% and use it as usual. Check in GSam, BBS and Android battery stats which apps are at the top of your chart.

Hi all,

Here are some anomalus cases:

Sometimes, if the battery is in good status (50, 75% etc) the nexus 5 turns off like it was out of batteries, and when i try to turns on.. it really was unloading!

There is a battery drain nosense. The stats on GSam Battery are like : 85% of battery = 1 hour and 15min of autonomy :eek: and there aren't any apps open and a low luminosity

Fast charge nosense. I don't have enable any typing of "USB fast charge" or apps thats do it, but i can full charge my nexus in 35min about :s

I try to comeback to stock, to kitkat , and installed some ROM or Kernels good for battery life, but nothing.

My nexus 5 now runnig: Resurecction Remyx - LP - v5.5.6 - Android version 5.5.1 - Kernel 3.4.0 - Cyanogenmod-g15e5a99

Got an odd issue where battery charging slowly deteriorated until it wouldn't charge again. This was a replacement battery already as oem one had similar problem after a year.

Tried the usual, change cables, charge with phone off, charge overnight etc...

In the end replaced it again with another "genuine" off eBay. This one has same problem.

Charge stuck at 33% which it came with. Monitor app shows battery temperature at -30C.

So same symptoms despite new battery. Is this a software problem and am I best restoring factory?

It sounds to me like the system can't read the battery correctly. Especially if it's reporting the temperature so off.

Not sure what you can do here. Aside from using it a few days, charging it until it should be full (a couple hours) and then running it til it dies. Or go to a repair shop. Or get a proper battery. OEM replacement.

Could be installed wrong or something was damaged while replacing too.

GPS acting strange

Hello, I have a strange problem with the GPS since I updated to Marshmallow. My phone is completely stock 6.0 and I did a full wipe when I updated to MM ( flash-all.bat) . The problem is after I used Waze yesterday for 15 minutes it keeps the GPS on, even if I turn location off. I force stopped the app, but today GPS turned itself on again, with Waze still force stopped ( haven't opened it since I stopped it ) . For now I noticed that if I turn location on and off again it stops using the GPS, but I don't want to end up with a drained battery every time I use navigation. I didn't have this problem on any previous Android versions, and I also had this GPS drain issue with Here maps a while ago. With Here maps I tried to turn off the Location permission but it didn't do anything, I made it stop by forcing the app to stop. Sadly this happened a while ago so I only have the Waze battery drain issue screenshots, but it seems i cannot post them because I am new here.
