Yes there may be no problem but it's stupid and utterly pointless. Our SOC's are designed to have CPU cores hotplugged to save battery, keep heat down, and be all round more efficient.

Don't mess with that just because you think disabling the hotplug binary is improving something because my four years of experience with mpdecision will tell you it certainly isn't.

There is no solution other than making sure you full wipe and don't flash anything unnecessary. Watch your apps too.

I have everything enabled including location, google services syncing and auto brightness and I'm getting the exact same battery life as KitKat, four and a half hours screen on.

If you are have misc battery drain, its an app you have installed, NOT the ROM. I only use about 6-8 play stores apps, all are compatible with L. Misc battery drain doesn't even show up in my usage.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] scramiro:
What app do you recommend me to monitor apps battery?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] davehasninjas:
Just wanted to say, there is totally battery drain. At least for me. I fastboot flashed the original google images and used chainfires root kernel. But when don't use your phone for two hours and drop 20%, that's definitely a drain. Through my phone on the charger and saw the battery stats, miscellaneous is pulling the most battery, by a ton. I do not have GPS enabled whatsoever. Bluetooth is turned on, as I have my Pebble synced.

No, I've done nothing with mpdecision. As a matter of fact, when I used root explorer to check out my /system/bin/ folder, mpdecision wasn't even there. Again, this was a fasboot flash install as well. I had backed up everything prior to install and and ran flash-all with -w intact as to have a clean install.

Not a noob, been tinkering android since the G1, but on a clean install with Google's own images, there is indeed battery drain.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
welcome back :) yes, you can replace the boot.img in the flashable with the boot.img from chainfire... I kept them seperate as I wanted a 100% stock zip :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SketchyStunts:
Mpdecision is there in my system/bin ...I installed the images from Google so that's weird you don't.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
Ah yeah, that's what we did last time, too. OK.

But I've personal had problems of FCs after flashing kernel and SU. Also after trying to install an app via playstore it FCs, so for now I'm back on daily rom.

My problem ist, that I don't have time enough atm to look into the problems, so I just break up earlier before staying on something unstable xD

Anyway if I'm the only one, just ignore this ;)

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] davehasninjas:
Yea, craziest thing, it's not there at all lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
I don't recommend a battery app. I use stock. Every app you install will just add to battery usage, if its not fully compatible, you can end up with the misc drain usage. If your getting a lot of drain, clean install and start adding the apps back till you find what's draining.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
Weird... I would factory reset -> flash rom -> reboot -> flash kernel then supersu

should work fine
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nisby:
I also don't have mpdecision in /system/bin with Google Image
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
ah yes... the infamous 1000 word essay by chainfire lol reading now :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
You have a bad app somewhere
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hannibal226:
That's what I did, as I build a new rom in multi-rom.

Until I flashed kernel and SU it also seems to work find, so maybe kernel break up something for me.

But again, don't waste thoughts about it, until u won't hear anything else like my problems :P

CHEERS
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wagedroid:
You should've manually flashed each image, I read in another thread that the flash-all route isn't the best for this release. I do have mpdecision from google factory IMG and I don't have miscellaneous at all on my usage screen. I have plenty 3rd party apps with no battery drain at all. Try a clean install flashing each image individually.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sjknight413:
Correction, there is battery drain for you.

I am experiencing no drain as are others, therefore it can't be the rom itself it's something you've done.

Wiping in recovery isn't necessary since these images wipe before installing through fastboot. Also, instead of using chainfires boot/kernel try the other one in 9002 thread.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SketchyStunts:
I know but it's just a habit to wipe. Thanks, I'll check that out
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
I'm curious if anyone who flashed the script thru fastboot has found anymore than the email and calendar bugs? That's how I flashed, wiped EVERYTHING, setup was a breeze and those are the only 2 issues I've seen. Every app works, no misc battery drain, and decent battery life. Seems like those who flashed a zip or those who tried to not wipe data, or those who tried to restore data are the ones having problems. My phone is like a new phone again. Treat it like a new phone, start completely clean an you will be amazed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] davehasninjas:
That's what I'm working on tracking down now.

Cool, may have to if I can't find the cause of the battery drain, and to restore the mpdecision of course.

That's exactly what I said, in the second sentence lol. But to say there is NO battery drain is completely off base when plenty of users are experiencing this issue.

I guess a correct statement would be, you and a few other users are experiencing no drain. Good for all of you. Conversely, a few others and myself are experiencing battery drain. Bad for all of us. Now, if you happen to have some helpful suggestions as the other people quoting my post, they would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, thanks anyways and have a good one.

Whoa..it is going to wipe SD card.. I guess it's a disadvantage of going the manual way..we won't have to do that if we flash a zip.. So SD card data is going to be safe and sound that way..

So while flashing the zip, we will wipe the system and data but won't touch our internal storage.. And then we will be running Android L with our SD card data intact..

Nexus 5 L with MultiRom + root

Those with latest MutliRom installed - if you add this as a secondary ROM, ensure Do Not Share Kernel is enabled and wait 10 minutes after flashing, it will boot up and because of how MultiRom is built (see forum) system directory is fully writable, just no SU binary - go back in Recovery, MultiRom and flash the lastest SuperSU zip file - reboot and you will have root!

That may be the difference then.

Originally vomer was using a different modified boot.img (prior to Chainfires being out).

Originally I used vomers, but hadnt looked for that file. I have since flashed Chainfires for testing.

I may see if I still have the original, or try the one you used to see if the files appear.

Thanks for the info!

So thanks again to [MENTION=970064]donnyp1[/MENTION] as it definitely seems to be app issues causing battery drain.

That's what I'm thinking. Since its a Dev preview, not all apps are working. I have a minimal setup, no games or special apps ( besides endomondo and ESPN fantasy football), and everything works great. I even did the exchange fix and now have exchange services working.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Actually, fantasy football causes misc drain. Didn't have it installed yesterday, put it on this morning and misc drain shows instantly. You can reinstall your apps 1 at a time, but check battery before the next app and see if misc shows up. You can isolate it and send a report to app Dev to let them know. I'm not worried about it, at least I know which one it is. I need it today, I have 6 teams, 2 of which are ESPN champions league invites because I won last year. I now can uninstall the app after Monday and reinstall next Sunday as I watch games. I digress, lol. You CAN find what app(s) are causing misc drain.

I'm having pretty weird bug on L preview.. After flashing it it doesn't seem to recognize my internal storage. The stock gallery doesn't show images.
