I'm getting about 2.5 hrs of SOT. Any ideas on how to improve it? I've had the 5X for about 3 weeks and this is pretty typical for me, but it seems pretty poor compared to what others are getting.

Screen is on auto-brightness

Location setting is high accuracy

Using google now but with "always on" turn OFF

using twight which is screen filter app to make the screen look more orange at night
[Nexus 5X General] Stevica Smederevac:
Your cellular signal is appalling :eek:. This is destroying your battery. You need to switch to either 3g or 2g if you don't use internet other than wifi.
[Nexus 5X General] glasslung:
I use both wifi and lte, so that will be difficult for me. Would turning wifi off and using LTE when I don't need wifi help?

I live in a major metropolitan area (San Francisco) on Verizon which is the carrier with the best coverage. Is everyone here just suffering from bad battery life then?
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
Here's right. It won't help just make things worsw. Your problem is the cellular signal. There's nothing you can do about it...
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
How to check if my screen is perfect or yellowish????? sometimes it looks yellowish and sometimes ok.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
It'll look warm compared to most other phones or even TVs. My Samsung TV is cool by default and it always makes my screen look very warm when I'm going looking at that that to the 5X. Really if you're able to compare it to another 5X, that would be best.

im having a lot of trouble right now with the doze feature. On average losing about 10% an hour even though the phone has been mostly idle

Went from getting 2-3 hours sot to this on Chroma + ElementalX. Pleasantly surprised
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
People have been mentioning EX kernel a lot, that's great but Franco's kernel is equally good without much complicated setup.

Both are great kernels.
[Nexus 5X General] thesoldier:
It really depends on the device. I was using Franco kernel for about a month, until the last few updates made my phone very sluggish. I decided to go back to EX, and it flies again. Not sure why
[Nexus 5X General] racelaj:
This has also happened to me several times over the past month and is currently stuck at 50%. Not sure why this happens and it seems to fix itself but I have noticed the phone has turned itself off at these same times. When I boot it up the battery stays at 50%...It's happened unlocked when on DP5, unlocked on Slim6 ROM, and locked on MM 6.0.1. To make matters worse, during a super hot/humid spell we had at a family reunion my N5X kept shutting down and my wife's G3 (

note also LG built

) completely died whereas all my relatives 15 iphones never even blinked (we were the only ones on Android - my wife now has an iphone). My phone is not even a year old but I am ready to try something new...OP3, HTC 10, Honor 8 or ?
[Nexus 5X General] racelaj:
So my battery issues got worse. N5X kept shutting off regardless of where it was - inside or outside, in a pocket or on a desk. I decided to buy a new battery for it since I like fixing things. Well I put the new battery in and it's no better. Phone won't even boot up or charge. I put the old battery back in and it's exactly the same (no boot up or charge, just bootloops on the battery charging screen you see when phone is off and plugged in). So now after owning them less than 1.5 years we'll have replaced two LG made phones both due to high air temp ruining the phone. On to the next manufacturer!
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
I live in greece and neither temps nor humidity create issues, so your phones were faulty. In your place i would try another store to buy from next time :p
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Ehy guys wat do you think about slim rom ?
[Nexus 5X General] jbdan:
Got Nougat today OTA. Battery life has improved even more. 1st cycle with it but after 1hr 40m screen time and still at 71% where I'd normally be at around 55% on marshmallow. Stock. What a joy [emoji106]
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Hello guys. This morning I flashed [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] 's debloated 'N' rom. Used it for 13 hours in total. Battery dropped from 87% to 38%.

3G was used for 1st 8 hours, then Wifi enabled when I came home. Google account setup and I disabled background data on play services app.

Got 3hr 21 min SOT with standard usage pattern of Web browsing, Messaging, Ebook reading and a bit of camera.

I must say it is really good considering the rom comes with stock - like kernel. Can't wait for ElementalX on Android N.

Attached pics below.
[Nexus 5X General] racelaj:
Two different LG phones (G3 and N5X) bought 1 year apart at two different stores. So I think it's an LG battery problem with heat and humidity... Sent my N5X to LG to be looked at since it's only 6 months old. Wish me luck
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
An email app that uses push notifications for new emails usually drains the "same quantity" of battery as an message app, like Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, etc?
[Nexus 5X General] cl5s:
I got 3-4 hours SOT on Nougat on MM i got 4-5+. I know SOT doesnt show bettery but i notice my battery was better . What you guys think about doze apps? Are they still usefull now when we have doze on the go?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I really haven't noticed doze on the go working much. Maybe it's because I have Google Fit running in the background?
[Nexus 5X General] keijikage:
Doze apps don't work on android N unless they've found a way to get around being signed as a system app - the dumpsys deviceidle command people were using to force doze mode will cause an error since they changed the permission level of the command.
[Nexus 5X General] cl5s:
Thank you for this. After i upgrade to Nougat i already have installed Grenify and i couldn't active agressive doze. I think we need some option to see when is dozing like notification is there any apps that can do that?
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Hey guys. Back with another set of stats. 2nd cycle with nougat. Using the debloated N rom by [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] , with ElementalX 3.04 kernel.

Usage includes web browsing, GPS navigation, Messaging and a bit of camera. Screen brightness around 40% average.

35 hours total, 4hr 30 min SOT. Really good considering I had google play services being used regularly. Doze on the go. It seems to have improved

standby drain a little. Although it is not really noticeable as it was decent even on MM.

Check pics attached. Thanks.
[Nexus 5X General] Banoone:
Hello everyone,

After reading a bit in this thread again and following up on some hints I decided to post here again. I made a post a few weeks about my Nexus 5X having poor

battery performance (like 1 hour 30 of SOT with the nougat preview 5) Now with the final release it has only gotten worse. And I'm really starting to hate this phone.

I'm getting like an hour of screen on time and I barely use the phone. What am I missing here or doing wrong? When I'm seeing people here with 4 hours of SOT I'm starting

to wonder. I realize that most of these people have custom rom+kernel but 1 hour of SOT? That can't be normal can it?

[IMG="Nexus 5X Battery Life 1"]http://i.imgur.com/EPBOOyYm.png[/IMG] [IMG="Nexus 5X Battery Life 2"]http://i.imgur.com/FWgiF46m.png[/IMG] [IMG="Nexus 5X Battery Life 3"]http://i.imgur.com/CRop5JRm.png[/IMG]

Can anyone help me or tell me what is wrong? I already turned the setting off to not keep wifi alive during sleep but that didnt have much impact.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Wow that is terrible. It's obvious something is draining it even if the graphs show screen off and sleeping. Even before I did a factory reset with the final release, I never had or seen battery drain like that. I would do a factory reset and see how it is after that.
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Your battery is dying; it is in the process of expiring its stay on this good earth.

[Nexus 5X General] arturo108:
I'm on stock android nougat, I maximised my battery life turning off adaptive brightness, setting position on "only GPS" and using browser to surf on Facebook instead of app(this gave an HUGE increase on battery). Do you think that turning animations off will increase my battery life more? I set them to 0.5x
[Nexus 5X General] khanjui:
Not really in this days.
[Nexus 5X General] MaxDim:
I'm on full stock android N with location and back up turned off, adaptive brightness on , after about 10-15 full charges. I'm not a power user, mainly browsing, facebook, twitter, youtube, couple of calls and photos and get about 5-5h30m of SOT time, which i think is great. Not confident enough to flash custom kernels as of yet.
[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
For me Android OS is causing massive wakelocks. I mean device doesn't get deep sleep at all. I have turned off sync, only wifi or lte. No Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning whatsoever. Any idea?

Try latest Franco kernel and disable Wi-Fi wakelocks.

Is there no other way? Because I would like to stay as stock and unmodified as possible.(ex flashholic)
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
How to disable wifi wakelocks? Could you explain, please?

You can do that with Franco.Kernel Updater. It must be other way to do but I don't know how.

Battery in standby is horrible in N

Tried official OTA and now stock+ rom...

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5X mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] AG22:
Using Whatsapp, Facebook and Messenger apps, Chrome always alternating between some tabs, Bluemail syncing manually, location in High Accuracy (but wifi and BT scan off), NFC and BT both disabled (only use BT when I'm on my car, but I didn't use for the past two days that I made my tests). I guess these are the most relevants settings that I can tell.

Stock N + Franco Kernel R18 + Adaway + Thermal Throttling Tweak (Heavy V5). On both tests, I took of the charge about 6 am. I was mostly at home, where the signal is "average".

First day: I'd say about 75% LTE and 25% wifi. About 23 pm, when it was with 25% charge, I guess I still had at least more 30 minutes.

Second day: the opposite, about 80% wifi and 20% LTE. I rebooted the phone once after update SuperSU.

I am satisfeid with these setup, the phone is very smooth and the battery is enough for a day with moderate-heavy use, I guess. Didn't notice much difference between wifi or LTE, actually.

If I disable vibration, maybe it increases battery life a little bit. Only keyboard vibration is disabled (for typing).

Sorry for any english mistake.
[Nexus 5X General] Andr006:
I used to have similar battery stats with M & ElementalX but with Franco R18 & N I have lower battery performance, close to stock M in facts...

But the phone is a lot snappier so I guess we gain from one part and loose from the other...
[Nexus 5X General] shufal:
When you are not using cellular data, toggle it to 2G instead of 3G/LTE. That way, you'll have to again change it to LTE/3G when using it but trust me you'll get better battery.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Right but if you're a data heavy user, I'm sure speed takes priority over battery life. At least it does for me.

Running Android N, tons of wakelocks
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
I'm still using M, stock August OTA. 40% brightness, locations disabled. Idle drain could be better.
[Nexus 5X General] Batticus:
Very annoying wakelocks with StockN. ExKernel didn't change anything. I'm running all the services. With M I had no wakelocks and very nice doze times, also with all services enabled :eek:

Edit: I think I don't have enough posts to attach my screenshots yet.
[Nexus 5X General] hackdrag0n:
So custom marshmallow the best for battery life at the moment?
[Nexus 5X General] Batticus:
There are many reports of too much drain by Android OS in N. So yes, I would agree. But for those without doze issues full stock N seems to have the best battery life of all Android version. It's a bit of a lottery sadly.
[Nexus 5X General] luckana:
Android OS drain was present in MM as well, i solved it by disabling the backup function under Backup & reset in the settings. Dunno if this is applicable to N

In my opinion the best for battery life was Marshmallow with ex kernel, but stock N works for me really really much better than custom M.

2,5 SoT on N, no pics, I can take it later, but wakelocks must be because lost 20% In 3h with minimal use (checking time)

Does anyone else's battery decrease with 2% rate instead of 1%? Sometimes it just skips and go down. Any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus 5X General] :
meee hahaha especially when after being in doze mode for 12+ hrs. lmao seems like doze mode just prevents the battery in idle mode from going down and it just resumes once you turn on the screen again :silly:
[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
I mean during usuage not just after doze
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
You're probably using a custom rom. If you search the dedicated thread of it, you'll find enough other people experiencing this same thing.
[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
I'm not. I got the phone a week ago and it's untouched in terms of that.
[Nexus 5X General] enzo_cz:
For those being on Nougat and rooted I strongly recommend trying out latest Franco (R19) with Naptime. Idle drain becomes almost zero, especially over the night. And NapTime does freeze a ton of wakelocks for sure. I had been trying anything to make my battery last longer. When using the phone I expect a drain depending on what I do but when having it stationary I wanna my battery loosing almost nothing. I wanned to get back to MM for that reason. Then I put Franco and Naptime on and now I do enjoy Nougat a lot.
[Nexus 5X General] clandestino123:
hi guys, is there any consensus on battery life yet? What should I expect from moderate usage? mostly just browsing the web on 4g or wifi? With my 2 year old LGG2, I still get approx 3 hrs SOT, maybe more. Used to be 4 to 5hrs when brand new...and would lose 1% or 2% battery life overnight. I don't want to buy the 5X if it is a step backwards from my current device.
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
Terrible

I sent mine back, so I can't post results. With very moderate usage it would barely last 24 hr. I mean, really...

Sure, it's all individual utilization based, but I'm no newbie - doing nothing off the wall at all. Twitter, maps, weather, stocks... occasionally. Maybe mine was defective, but I don't think so based on some of the comments here.

If anyone reads this, my advice is to not buy this device and/or send your's back. I suspect G. may publish some battery fix notice with new software at some point. While we wait.

Grumble

My experience too. What a POS. But I doubt even a custom kernel can fix it. I would not/won't bet on it.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
The SD808 is the likely culprit in this case. The battery size is good enough for a small 1080 panel so blame Qualcomm. I'll see how my RMA is when it arrives today
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
Thx. Sounds right. Pls let us know...
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
How many phones can actually last 24 hours though? I would say most people need enough battery to last from morning until they get to car charger or back home.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
Yep I will, its our for delivery now maybe it will be better
[Nexus 5X General] johnbrighton:
Loving this phone so far....

MY experience so far is BRILLIANT. I would recommend people buy this phone! If you're having the problems some are saying they're having (and I don't doubt it) then you're either running loads of stuff that most of us don't, or you really do need to RMA your device.

I was worried when I first saw this thread - but coming form an HTC One M7, i'm massively happy! I'm running everythingI was running before, and on my first FULL charge I am coming up for 48 hours without charge, 4 hours SOT.

I've used my phone as a ....well, phone, mostly on loudspeaker, listened to a few tunes, checked and updated calendar a few times, browsing, reading AC and the news, couple of timers and alarms and I ran Antutu. Will post pics when phone warns me to put powder saving on. :cool:
[Nexus 5X General] dbrohrer:
I am having a similar experience. Roughly 48 hours on a charge with 4-4.5 hours screen on time. Streaming music, email syncing, surfing the web. Location off. This phone has fantastic standby time. I am very impressed.
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
I've owned iPhone 6, Moto G 2015 (!), OPO, OPT recently. All get morning-to-night and into next day with 50 or so percent left with my usage. Best so far is iPhone 6. Moto G is impressive have to say. I sent it back because it could not stream Amazon video without glitches - Snapdragon 410. Otherwise...

Something about the air in the UK I guess. :). Seriously, with the reports all over the map, I suspect a fair number of the units are frotzed.
[Nexus 5X General] Raistlin1:
I am RMA'ing mine and will give the replacement a try, battery was pretty bad for me and I am not a heavy user (not even a medium user). I don't watch videos or stream videos, no music and no streaming music; just the basics (email, texts, a few calls, light FB, weather).

The only thing that helped a bit with battery was moving the brightness bar almost to the end on the left, one notch higher and screen was killing battery. And I have a somewhat dirty/yellowish tint, not a lot but when next to another device you could see it.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
It is the screen not the CPU. The screen is always the biggest power user on a phone. A 2,700mAh would be a decent size for a 720p AMOLED screen but not so much for a 1080p IPS LCD.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

How the hell are you getting that? I've been sitting here reading this forum for the last 25 minutes. I'm on WiFi, great cell reception, brightness at about 20%. In that 25 minutes the battery has used 8%(from 95% to 87%). At that rate, if I took off the charger at 100% and just browsed this form until the phone died I'd get like 4.5 hours of screen on time and total time off the charger. What are you doing that gives you such great battery life?
[Nexus 5X General] powerdoesntrun:
I'm currently on pace to get 48hrs on a charge with 4hrs SoT. So far, I've found that not using Chrome (switched to Ghostery) and Facebook (switched to Facebook Lite and/or Tinfoil) seems to have helped my battery, performance, and RAM usage tremendously. Granted, I'm just now getting to the one week mark and breaking everything in, so maybe I can try the originals again in a while and see if that really was a difference maker.

Mostly on WiFi, great reception, bluetooth on, brightness ~20%, no games or really CPU intensive tasks.

Probably a lower-than-usual amount of usage for a typical day, but I've easily gotten to the end of the day every time under normal usage.

Only lost 2% over night. Thanks, Doze.

And not just the screen/resolution. Also the DPI settings etc. The phone needs to handle larger content etc.

Not much tbh. I'm decrypted and rooted, but I noticed none or very little benefit after doing so. Auto brightness at 40%. Ambient display is disabled. The only things syncing are inbox, google photos backup, and opinion rewards. Location is off. Google now is on. My first couple charges gave me average battery life. Over the past week I had over 50% battery by the time I go to bed so I've just been charging every other night.

I am running Greenify 2.8 beta 1 with the experimental aggressive doze mode. It is supposed to force the phone into doze mode sooner. I assume this is helping in my case. I can't quantify how much because I really haven't compared my usage with and without.

This has not been my experience with my Nexus 4,5,6 with stock or custom roms / kernels in the past.
