Nexus 5 Battery Dead or Software issue

My battery is charging very fast .. approx 0~100% in 45%. But at the same time it also discharges at same time..

Do you think my battery or hardware is problem or something software.. I tried switching back to 4.4.4 clearing and formatting entire data.. But its of no use:crying::crying:

My Nexus 5 isn't charging at all!

I dropped it 5 days ago and my screen is shattered from the bottom.

Today it won't charge at all. Its at 0℅. Please help!I tried using a different charger but no results.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A1ps:
Thanks mate I'll give the app a try.

In the mean time, I deleted an app call Forza which is a football score update app. It seems to have resolved the issue. It's never caused an issue before, but all of a sudden it seem it started to sap the battery.

I'll reinstall it on the weekend and see if the problem returns.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyBeR54:
Probably therre is something wrong with the connection between the plug in port of your charger and the battery. I would open it and check out if there is a cable not inside a port. However I am no expert so if someone knows it better you should relay on them.

BTW: which apps did you used to show these statistics?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legacyeah:
Idk what's the problem here but wireless charging works though. I used Ampere for the battery statistics.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyBeR54:
Yeah exactly what I was thinking. There is a cable connection between the microusb port of the N5 and the battery. As your phone has fallen down one of them cables slipped out. So you have no connection anymore to charge it this way. wireless charging still functions because there is no cable connection in the inside required.

Do you have any links to where you read this about Greenify?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir7777:
I've read it a long time ago here in xda but I'm not sure which thread it was anymore, sorry. But I can explain you why they say that. What greenigy calls hibernating an app it actually means they kill it, they force closes the apps. But a hibernated app can be triggered again by other apps or different situations so instead of staying asleep it will wake up in your RAM every now and then and use your CPU. So the more you kill it the more CPU it will use (since that won't stop it from waking up) hence the battery drain. Let's use an app as an example, Facebook. If you force stop Facebook you'll notice that every time an app launches and have a Facebook integrated log in feature (or any Facebook feature) it will activate again. Facebook will never stay hibernated. Now there are other messaging apps that if you hibernate you won't receive any notification, which is not smart. You'll have to open to get them, so what's the point of having them right?

Hope I made myself clear. If I said something incorrect in my explanation feel free to correct me.

Its not always like this, if you're sure your app doesn't wake up even when auto-hibernated or if you don't hibernate any messaging app or similar, I don't think it will drain your battery at all, it may actually save it[emoji12]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porman:
Alright, I thought there was a more in depth research that proves this, but I've searched around and can't really find anything bad written about Greenify.

I don't use it to hibernate Facebook though, as it seems it wakes itself up. I still use the Facebook app as the mobile web to be able to log in to various other apps (lazy to enter login info and security codes).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Basically, Greenify will do more harm than good if you try to hibernate anything you use often, or that gets woken up often. Example, greenifying Facebook alone... Messenger will constantly wake it up. It's greenify both, or neither.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir7777:
There's no in depth research, its just logic
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porman:
So, what apps in general are safe to hibernate? If it should be used at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Mostly just apps you find eat battery. But if you use them a lot... Of course they'll eat battery... But hibernating them will make it worse.

Just have to play around with it. If apps are using data or show in your battery stats, that you rarely use... Greenify them.

Social apps are better hibernated, as they won't spam data or location... But you will not get notifications either. So have to weigh what's important to you. Don't hibernate a social app you check 50 times a day.

Games are good to greenify. Ones that connect to data for notifications. But again... No more notification, if that's something you do want.

Best to only worry about apps that consume too much battery or data... Or a huge chunk of ram.

Anyone seeing any wakelocks or unusual battery drain from Maps app after latest update?

It´s not letting my phone sleep, had to set "keep awake" off in Per-app permissions on my rom to stop it from happening.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hibernate it with greenify. If it's a system app, use titanium backup to convert it to a user app... Then Hibernate it. :good:

Nexus 5 Battery Replaced..

Hie guys I dont know weather I can post in this section. But yesterday just I replaced my nexus 5 battery which I ordered from ebay. My previous battery which i received with box had bulged..

I just want to know any precautions I have to take for my new battery like about charge discharge cycle and all that. If I can get any guide regarding the new battery charge discharge cycle that would improve my battery life it would be very helpful.

Awaiting for your guidance guys..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
There is nothing you need to do in that regards. Li-Po batteries should not need to do any calibrating or charge/discharge cycling.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
One thing you can do is avoid draining the battery too much. Unlike older batteries that needed to be fully drained now and then, Lithium batteries shouldn't. A similar but more extreme example is car lead batteries, which if fully drained once or twice they need replacement. Li ones have hundreds of recharge cycles in comparison, but you consume less of them if you charge more often.

Excellent reading about Lithium batteries here:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Keep in mind that was written about 5 years ago now, before Li-Po was commonly used such as in our phone.

Right now i have a Nexus 5 running LP 5.1.1 CyanogenMod [CAF] on stock kernel with Kernel Toolkit Govenor set to Powersave.

I only use my phone to Facebook, listen to music while i go to work and to text sometimes.

Lately I am only getting 2 SOT max on lots of Roms, tried Cataclysm, Optipop, Cm AOSP, and I couldnt get any decent results...

Here's my screenshots from today.

Whats wrong with my phone? Could it be the battery itself? Maybe needing a very hard format (back to stock without twrp and stuff, really hard format)?

Help meee! :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
Btw, Lately i felt that my phone was charging way too fast, so I took a screenshot.

Is this rate normal?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You need to charge fully, and go to about 10 percent left, then do screen shots. :good:

Some of your shots are from a 4 second time frame. ;)

It looks like something is keeping it awake... But need better screen shots to tell anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
Oh ok ok! Sorry! I did put it to charge and then disconected quickly because I forgot the screenies :p

I don't see anything wrong in your stats apart from Facebook which has always been known as a battery drainer. Can you check wake lock detector too and post some screenshots?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
Just installed it. Lets see how it does...

Is it normal that my battery charges really fast?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir7777:
The battery usually charges in 1:40 to 2 hours

How do you use your phone? Do you usually discharge it to less than 40-30%?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
I let it to 10%, i Never let it reach 0%, its really rare.

Mine only take 1h... And my charger isnt 1.2A, its like 0.8 i guess...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The only thing I really see is poor signal. Combine that with social apps, location on maybe, and browsing.... And your battery will drop like a rock.

Shouldn't be an issue while on wifi, but when on data....a poor signal is killer.

An hour and 30 minutes of awake time on a 7 hour run is bad too.

Try every bit of advice on post 2 for a couple days and see how it it. And toggle data off when you aren't actually using it.

See of there's a difference. :good;
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
Will do... And try to charge it with another charger with phone off...

Thank you man!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sacrifice for a couple days and let us know. But my money is on signal, social apps and location combo. If location was on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
Location is never on, and tonight I did something and I found a problem.

When my phone is off, it only charges to 94% it never gets to 100%, i had to turn on my device to end charging.

What is happening?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
How is it using so much battery?

I only have Facebook open and data and location off, everything is off.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Obviously it could be a battery gone bad....but good to eliminate other possible causes first. And again, signal seems to be one possible culprit. But with data toggled off, it should not still drain heavy while in standby. If it's draining bad while you aren't using it, and data is off...it could be wake locks, or yeah...battery.

Any noticeable swelling on the back of the device? Batteries can swell when they're bad.

You have gsam root companion installed? Did you post held awake time and times waking device from app screen drop down? I'm not sure you have.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivoricardo:
I think Im going to completely format my phone, like mega super hard format with google images and stuff...

After that, ill try everything again :)

I'm generally seeing "worse than average" standby battery time and "horrible" awake screen-on time with my Nexus 5.

I've only gotten about 1 hour 20 minutes of screen on time today before the battery died.

My battery seems to drain extremely fast during active use, even with something less intensive like Chrome.

Android seems to stay awake a lot even when the screen is off.

In WLD I'm not seeing any apps other than Spotify that are keeping the phone awake, yet it doesn't seem to be in deep sleep as much as it should be.

CM 12.1 Nightly 05/15 Official

Elemental X 2.13

Xposed Greenified most apps with background services

Hi All... please see below....

Seems that my phone is draining by the minute...

used to have 10% max from 8-5 if i didnt touch it at work.

It seems Audio On has been active for a while and I cant force close / stop GoogleLocationService......

Could that be the problem?

Any tips? or help is welcome....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If location is on, have you tried with it off? Do you have any apps that use voice input that may be causing it to stay awake? Google now voice commands anywhere active?

That's all I can think of. I've had same issue occasionally , and not sure why either. A reboot or two usually stopped it.

Really short battery life.

Recently, my phone has had massive battery drains. While using it, I get less than two hours of web serving on a full charge in Chrome. While idle, with only Bluetooth turned on, it looses around 7% per hour, sometimes more. I use Bluetooth for my Pebble steel smart watch. I have location services disabled, Google Now enabled, no Facebook or other social media apps, Fit disabled. I do use Tasker, but only to control volume.

I run stock Android 5.1, not rooted.

The wake lock showed "no data".

I used to have much better battery life with more enabled.

Thanks.

EDIT: OTA 5.1.1 fixed the issues. I now have a much longer battery life.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Battery drain on Wi-Fi, this may help you

Hi

My Nexus 5 goes a couple of hours at work without losing a percentage point of battery power if just sat idle on Wi-Fi, but at home it drops 5% or more an hour, with Android showing it's held awake the phone for many hours a day. Switching to the cell network at home and battery drain is similar to being sat on the works Wi-Fi, with idle consumption next to nothing. So it didn't appear to be app related, it was something else.

So after some thought and investigation, the cause turns out to be broadcast packets. At work we connect our own devices via a guest Wi-Fi point, and our devices are isolated from the core network and every other device, at home I connect to Wi-Fi and join the LAN with every other device. My home Wi-Fi is therefore constantly noisy with broadcast packets, consisting of a lot of NETBIOS traffic from Windows PCs.

Solution, I created an isolated guest network SSID and connect the phone to that, and voilà, all standby battery drain has vanished.

To see what is happening in more detail I downloaded an app called Network Log from the play store (needs root). I added a filter called 'Kernel' to see only network traffic hitting the core android system which would be things like broadcast packets. On normal Wi-Fi connecting up to my LAN, the log was getting new entries, often many times a second, showing NETBIOS, SSDP, and IGMP broadcasts, the log was also recording these while the phone was idle and screen off, so I knew these packets were waking the phone to be processed, if these were constantly arriving several times a second, that's a lot of waking up.

I checked at work and ran the log for an hour, and absolutely no broadcast packets were logged, the same applied to sitting on the cell network. My isolated guest network is the same, no broadcast traffic.

So in conclusion, if you find some Wi-Fi access points are causing a lot of battery drain when your device is idle and so shouldn't be draining much power, it is likely the Wi-Fi point has a lot of "noise" on it. If this is your own Wi-Fi access point, you may be able to fix it by creating an isolated guest network, although you lose the ability to stream between your devices. Depending on your router it may be possible to create a separate sub-net, this for me also stops all the broadcast traffic spilling over from PCs on the LAN, but still allows access to all devices.

I hope that helps, as I went through all the usual processes of disabling location and services etc, which never made much difference in my case.

Regards

Phil

I have script to fix this by enabling google play services.

Main problem is that gps can't start on some roms, and then make a "loop" trying to turn on, and device never sleeps, from there is that big drain.

Three days ago I updated my N5 to 5.1.1 and since then it has absolutely atrocious battery life. I have to charge it twice a day to get 2h of SOT and it barely has any battery left when I go to sleep. Before the update it lasted the whole day on a single charge.

As usual , the culprit is Google Play Services (I have version 7.5.71 installed), and I have noticed the drain only happens when NOT connected to WiFi. If the phone is connected to WiFi, battery life is completely normal.

Is somebody else having this issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Post 4 is your friend here. ;)

But based on just what you've said... I'm guessing radio signal. If nothing has changed and you get good battery life on Wi-Fi, but not data... That's usually why.

All apps accessing data constantly... Like social apps... Will cause your battery to drop like a rock if they can't connect. Especially too if location is on and set to anything other than Device only. (no data used)
