[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foosion:
That's why I asked how frequently you turn your phone on.

A bit of unnecessary battery usage is not quite the same as huge battery drain. A lot of unnecessary usage can be huge.

Without some idea of how much power a single phone turn on uses and how often someone turns on their phone it's hard to say how significant an issue smart unlock is for battery usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would love to see someone here on 5.0 follow every single tip in post 2. Everything. And limit their usage to texts, xda and light browsing. That would come pretty close to my usage.... But I don't have an N5 anymore, so I can't test...... And let us know the results.

Again, every single thing in post 2. All of it.... And only texts, xda and light browsing. No social apps. Temporarily freeze them all. Or someone who doesn't use them try this. No music, no games. Barely any, or no pics or phone calls. Location off.

It's important for this test to go through post 2 and follow every single thing.

I'm curious how it would turn out. Maybe 2 days. One mostly on wifi... One day mostly on data with a good signal.

And see how things stack up to my screens in post 4...

Battery life on Android 5.0 has been inconsistent so far. I've had days of very, very good battery life and others with very mediocre battery life. This is with nearly identical usage. I'm guessing some of the issue is app developers releasing updates and coming to terms with ART but clearly there is potential in the underlying OS.

I'm having serious drain in google services with everything off: google now off, google plus off, google fit off, location off, wifi scanning off, news/weather disabled, google play books/play movies/play music/games all disabled. mail sync off also.

i can not remember anything else to turn off to see where the problem comes from.

battery drain

i have the same problem after factory reset I installed several applications like facebook, messenger file managar and nothing else i turned off bluetooth, location and everything that might consume battery . for example I only use wifi and messenger and usage of battery is about 1% per 1-2 minutes when screen is on... really ?? (stock android lollipop 5.0... of course...)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Try uninstalling the FB and Messenger apps (assuming FB Messenger) and see if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukasz050:
now I'm doing a test on a full factory reset without any third app

but it raises the question, why do I need the phone. where I can not use even a few simple applications
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Phone makers sell us these things and post battery life averages based on an out of the box device. What we do to them and install on them is on us. You think social app makers care how your battery life is?

So many apps can affect battery life, that's why some can get 6 hours on a device of screen time say, and others get 3. Or drain per hour can be great or poor for people.

Facebook and messenger are indeed terrible. My moto X got 7ish SOT in about 30 hours total.... My wife has it now.... She gets about 4 hours SOT and 20 hours total. The only real difference with it from me to her... She has Facebook and messenger.. And uses them a lot. ?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukasz050:
you are right but I have only two hours SOT and i dont have a problem with wakelock because at night it use only 4%

so i have a problem with phone working on screen

on my old device "system android" use only 4 % and karnel (Android OS) 2% equal 6%

nexus 5 use 10-12% for "system android" and 6-7% for Karnel (Android OS) equal 16-20%

every phone that I use, using about 60-70% for screen, and the rest for applications and other functions (no matter what applications I use.)

in nexus screen use about 40 % and over 50% is for apps and i dont play games and over 50 % is for apps

[EDIT]

when I connect the charger and use the phone. All the charge energy , is used by the phone. So I guess phone really gets too much power. when I'm not using the phone when charging everything is ok

Welcome to the forums! Looks like they held your phone awake for about 15 seconds, all together maybe 30 seconds of awake time by the end of the charge. I'd say you're in good shape there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I just meant those two apps. They are notorious for draining battery, phone agnostic. I had an old Droid 1 and when I had the FB app installed my battery lasted half a day, but without it I almost made it through the day. I've noticed the same with KK on my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wabbajaqen:
I'm kind of new at this, so best with me. So wakelocks are fine as long as they do not keep your phone active for long periods of time? Also, right now, I'm averaging around 1.6% battery drain/hr with data on, wifi off. Is that considered normal?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Precisely. Actually everything the phone does when the screen is off would be considered a wake lock, but most of them are simply providing the valuable services that you would expect from your phone such as maintaining a network connection etc.

The issue arises when the phone is being held awake for longer periods of time and for no apparent reason. If not caught in time can end up draining a large amount of your battery. A reboot is usually all that is needed to stop such a wake lock.

As for 1.6% an hour, I don't have much of a reference but if that would equal 62.5 hours of run time then I think it would be considered great.

At the beginning of using Lollipop My phone only lasts for 4 to 5 hours after average use (WiFi, 3G,Bluetooth with LG R watch) ? with Google fit disabled.

After removing unnecessary apps, I am getting 7 to 9 hours...

On kitkat I used to get from 12 to 14 hours.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogie:
In a bid to try and sort out, or at least understand my horrible battery life, with really low SoT, I've reflashed factory image, rooted, and installed GSam,WhatsApp, Jawbone Up, ES File Explorer and no other apps.

Everything is stock, location is turned off, Bluetooth and is on most of the time, either for car stereo or for Jawbone. Screen is on dimmest I can see it at and adaptive

My normal use pattern was charge at night and use during the day (and then normally have to charge at work again) but I've been trying to just charge at work towards the end of the day and not at night to check standby drain, but this is minimal.

I normally use RocketPlayer and play podcasts over bluetooth to car stereo at 1.5x, but I am currently just using the ES media player at regular speed to try and rule that out.

I don't know if I need to buy a new battery, but even with almost none of my regular apps installed, I'm still getting horrible SoT, meaning this is pretty useless!

Hi. I'm kinda new to tweaking stuff to increase battery life.

I've used Greenify, Tasker (for screen off and airplane mode at night), BBS and Amplify.

Attached is what I have so far. Can you please help me analyze it - and if there's any problem?

I figured that my phone saves well when it's idle/screen off.

But whenever I use it - esp. turn wifi on - it drains faster - like 1% per 5minutes.

What could be the issue?

Also, I had tried the tweak in System Tuner for Google Play Services and Google Services Framework following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55211341&postcount=25472

However, I had encountered problems with checking in to specific apps that I use but it's been working well in Google Maps. Can I still tweak some services in GPS and GSF?

I don't use Google Fitness, Wearable support, and Cast screen.

I ONLY use these apps for location check ins: Swarm, Foursquare, Facebook and Instagram (which I do like once or twice a week)

Will these be possible?

Thanks in advance for the help!

You need to disable their receivers as well as the service. You can use an app called Autorun Manager for that.

Not sure about SnetLaunchService.

ConfigFetchService is used for fetching your Google Account's settings and data, and some of your profile, to be used for a Google app. I suggest leaving it alone unless it wakelocks for hours.

Thank you. I've read much and learned much, however I just want to make sure I do it right this time.

I tried to disable some services in Play Services and Google Services Framework (I think you haven't mentioned tweaking GSF?)

What happened was my "check-ins" for apps like Swarm, Facebook, Instagram didn't return any location.

Should I just leave the "check in" service checked?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Better not to disable anything in GSF as they almost never wakelock and are fairly important.

And yes, that might have to do with it. Try re-enabling it.

Don't worry about the WiFi on the graph, it looks like its on but it's actually off and not draining any battery. That's why there's no WiFi on your battery list and if it was you would see there is no additional "WiFi running" in its stats.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I'd say so. Based off the 2 areas you didn't use your phone I can see that your idle drain is quite good with little wakes. You streamed Spotify for what looks like 2-3 hours, so that alone could be another +1 hour of potential screen on time. You also used quite a bit of Chrome which you've probably noticed is not very battery friendly.

If I could make one suggestion, I would say that if it's at all possible you should try and use an app versus accessing a site through Chrome. By that I mean if you want to check XDA or other forums, you should try and use something like Tapatalk. Or if you like to check Reddit it would be advantageous to use a Reddit app (preferably ad free) versus using a browser.

In the same way you can use news apps to congreate articles from all your favorite websites, for instance something like Feedly will use much less battery reading the same articles then it would take to use Chrome.

P.S from my testing, Auto Syncs and Adaptive Brightness are no longer the battery hog features they were in 4.4.4. Adaptive brightness can actually save some battery over time if it's allowing you to use a much lower brightness than you would be otherwise and Auto Syncs are one of the areas Project Volta seems to really have made an impact.

Locations Services are still the biggest hog, and Google Now can be pretty bad if you have it constantly refreshing weather/sports/stock tiles. Just pulling up news stories it's not bad though.
