[Nexus 5X General] Erps-Kwerps:
One more thing that I noticed - the battery discharge while screen is on is normal ~17-20% per hour while browsing web, so I assume the battery is still OK. And the problem is somehow software related, because something does not let the phone go idle.

But still I cannot find the root cause.

Maybe I need to try another ROM...
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Try N DP2, you don't need no tweaking, no tinkering, no fancy flashing. Guaranteed 5-6 hours SOT depending on your usage. It is stable for me and I am using it as daily driver. Doze 2.0 is amazing IMHO.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
One of these days I'm finally going to do install NDP on a day off and see if it's all it's made out to be. Just gotta look into the whole Android Pay with a rooted phone. I actually do use it often enough to want it working.
[Nexus 5X General] henrydcc:
Greetings.

My experience with the battery was not very good. I just turned off the adjuster automatic brightness of the screen and use the application of Greenify. Now is much better frame-rate of the battery.

Hi,i need help.I have problem with battery drain,something keep my phone awake whole time,last few days.How can i check what keep my phone awake,i dont have usb cable so i cant root my phone.Tnx
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Download GsamBatteryMonitor and check, what keeps your phone awake. Then buy a cable, root it and have no problems :)
[Nexus 5X General] Jeremy.Stewart85:
Starting over the weekend I also had some serious battery drain problems. Using BetterBatteryStats I initially saw that the SystemUpdateService was keeping my phone awake at all times and prevented it from going into Deep Sleep. I downloaded the Disable SystemUpdateService app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.swineson.disablesystemupdateservice

That helped quite a bit, but over the past couple of days there's a new process that still keeps my 5X awake more than I really want: PowerManagerService. Haven't yet figured out how to make that one go away or why it's started doing this. It does look like there are a lot more "mysterious" battery drain posts in the past few days than normal, not sure if there was a botched update to a common app or play services or something.

ROM: Stock MHC19Q (April 2016) - unlocked w/ systemless root

Kernel: ElementalX w/ butterfly CPU gov on little+big
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Does the gpu gov have noticeable impact on the battery life? Take a note, that this is my third cycle, so the battery life may change a bit. On the second cycle I ended up with 4h 15min SOT with 10% left. Now on the third cycle I'm at 31% with the exact same SOT! The only thing that changed is gpu gov set to powersave, because the only game I play is COC, so I don't need that much power.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Is this different that Automatic System Update under Developer Options?
[Nexus 5X General] Jeremy.Stewart85:
That's not listed for me in developer options so I'm not entirely sure (maybe it detects I've got a modified system so that's locked out?). That was just the least hacky method I found for disabling that wakelock and it seems to work as intended.
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
Hey guys,

Coming back after few weeks.

Here's my conf : N5X Stock 6.0.1 MHC19Q + ElementalX 1.12 EAS + Eclipse profile.

SoT is 1h50 (on Android Battery) 2h on ElementalX App

Battery stats: http://hpics.li/582a927

Apps usage: http://hpics.li/befbceb

ElementalX App: http://hpics.li/e7b137c

As you can see, my network was quite bad at the beginning but 2h for 70% battery is pretty bad, isn't it ?

Media server, Google Services & Android Platform are using a lot of battery. How can I limit that to the minimum ? (I already did : clear cache + disable the option search for wifi & bluetooth in localisation)

Also, I am using Facebook / Facebook Messenger / Snapchat but they aren't consuming much power compared to android platform and stuff like that... And oh, why Chrome is taking so much battery ? :(

By the way, i am open for any modification (changing Kernel / ROM (even if I prefer to stay on stock))

Note : this is my third cycle with this kernel profile.
[Nexus 5X General] dml1851:
I've been reading your posts and I'm somehow glad to see that I'm not the only one having trouble with battery life since April in almost every ROM I've tried (tried EX kernel and Franco too).

Somehow seems like lately (last two weeks or so) battery life is not like it was in the past (I'm under 4 hours sot when in the beginning of march I reached almost 5h sot without major issues).

Just curious of what could be the cause of that generic battery drain

Seems like on screen battery drain is normal as usual but when you let the phone away the battery drains faster than usual on idle, so maybe doze problem or somewhat like that

[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Look Ma 8 hours SOT

I am not sure about you guys but I don't think it is worth it to modify your NX5 with all sorts of ROM, Kernel, Governor settings etc. when you can get 8 hr SOT from N DP2 bone stock. :D

Regular browsing, light music on BT and LTE with occasional Messenger and Whatsup.
[Nexus 5X General] um.z:
Setting 'keep wifi on during sleep' to 'only when charging' seems to have helped a little. Am going to give this a proper try today and will then post another update.
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
Hey Joms_US,

I must admit these results are very impressive ! :victory:

Can you tell us more about your phone (when did you bought it), your daily usage (music ? email?)

Do you use Facebook / Facebook Messenger / Spotify .... ?

When you say "occasional Messenger" (facebook messenger), is it always on and connected to your fb account ? Or you deconnect / reconnect every time ?

Hangouts or Messenger for SMS app ?

Also, what is it not working on DP2 ? I have to give it a shot but also a bit scared with app compatibility. I mainly use : Chrome / GMap / Sygic / Spotify / Google Play Music / Facebook / Other social battery killer (like Twitter / Instagram / snapchat / whatsapp) / Reddit /
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Just realized you said N DP2. Your previous post I read too quick end thought you said PN for Pure Nexus. As someone else asked, anything you use regularly with M that isn't working as usual with N?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
I browse(FB included) for about 2-3 hours a day, turn on BT and pair my headset as soon as I leave for work and that's about 40-60mins a day, Google On and Cards, WhatsApp and Messenger in the background.

I did not do clean install of N so all of my apps were retained and running fine. Some with UI quirks when on split-screen mode but otherwise working fine. Even Kingston Mobilelite, Olympus and Panasonic Image Apps and WebEx which are important to me.
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
Well You may have convinced me ... :silly:

Is there any possibility to revert back to M Stock without losing everything if N preview is unstable for me ?

Anyway thanks for the feedback (even if you may be the only one having more than 5+ hours SoT)
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
According to Google, you will lose everything as it will wipe out the phone. This has been my daily driver for 2 months and there was no show stopper especially with DP2. DP3 is coming so things will even be better. :o I will not opt out esp. that I can get 8 hours SOT with my daily routines. Even 5 hours SOT on stock M is not remotely possible. ;)
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Might wait for DP 3 or even DP 4 to come out but it is nice to know even 2 is doing well.
[Nexus 5X General] um.z:
Still not a proper update, but I'm gonna be travelling tonight and need to charge my phone again before heading off. Changing the Wifi-On setting to 'only when charging' brought about a decrease from ~3% battery/hour to ~1.7% battery/hour. Light use from ~ 10am till 8pm.

I'm okay with that for now, but hope it's just been some weird bug which they fix with the next update, so I can change the Wifi setting back to 'always on'.
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
I'm curious what would happen if you used, for example, Ghostpepper profile along with the DP2 you've installed;) Do you think it would extend your battery life even more?

Sent from the Matrix
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
I've noticed a few people saying Airplane mode seems to be causing higher drain, possibly a bug with airplane mode?

Latest OTA, stock 5x without root access. Brightness 30%, Google features remained enabled except locations.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
I think somebody has done it already, about the same ballpark SOT if not worse.
[Nexus 5X General] kdeuley:
This is my battery life recently.

I'm using Franco kernel r8 and stock ROM.

I have systemless root and greenify most apps that I don't use at least once a day. I rarely have strong coverage at my house or where I work(which is basically a basement) so I mostly just use wifi. I have no need for location services either so keep that in mind. I'll post screenshots of my settings bellow if someone wants to try them out.

These are for the LITTLE cores

And these are the big

I also would like to give all credit to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3269557

As this is where I gained a better understanding of what exactly happened when I changed certain settings.
[Nexus 5X General] Bonez1802:
Pretty pretty pretty goood.. Hhahhahaa..

keep rocking..
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Basically everything enabled, no battery saving techniques. Just efficient apps without background junk.

Stock April OTA. Locations on High Accuracy and location History, Bluetooth, Auto syncs, Google Now + On Tap, Hotword detection, mix of WiFi and data. 25% manual brightness.
[Nexus 5X General] MaLiXs:
that pretty much the same result I could get with about 20-30 minute less SOT since i work 8hr a day in a warehouse, concrete wall and steel roof.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
Is it possible for you to do a similar test but with data alone instead of WiFi? You can even turn off Bluetooth. I wanna know how Google Services behave in this scenario.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
See above example from 2 weeks ago for almost exactly that. Though it included 1 hour of GPS navigation and brightness at 50%+, estimated 4 hours SoT if used from 100%-0 compared to the 5 hours SoT with the recent mixed WiFi and data usage example.
[Nexus 5X General] LinuxHolic:
Mine :(
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
You clearly have something that kills your battery.

Could you please give information ? ROM / Kernel / Root / App-usage ?

What's your network "quality" ?

If you could show us battery stats like Gsam or something like that.
[Nexus 5X General] LinuxHolic:
Stock ROM, locked bootloader, no root, location services disabled. My LTE connectivity is excellent. I mostly remain at home. My experience with nexus devices is not so good in terms of battery timing because they are not consistent. Sometimes i get 2.5hrs of SOT and sometimes i get 3hrs of SOT and 60% of the time i get maximum 1hr45m of SOT with Android OS, Google Services and Phone Idle state remaining on top in my battery statistics. I am thinking of installing a custom ROM or Kernel which could improve my battery life.
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
Well no apps like Facebook ? FB Messenger ? Snapchat ? :eek:

Have you tried clearing cache and rebooting ? Or factory reset ?
[Nexus 5X General] LinuxHolic:
Yes no apps...even google chrome is disabled. Yes i have tried factory reset...i recently installed clean stock ROM. Sometimes while charging my device heats up and charges very slowly...so in that case i power off my device...wait for it to be full charged and then i power on the device. I always always had bad experience with nexus devices in terms of battery life. My recent device was Nexus 5. I had a terrible experience with it also. I don't know why i purchased N5X :P
[Nexus 5X General] Andr006:
On full stock I was doing about 4 hours SOT with Fb messenger, snap, WA, location, chrome etc... Something is going wrong with your idle state... Looks like a wakeclock, draining app, bc your phone isn't dozing
[Nexus 5X General] tinchomey:
I got 2 hours 30 mins of SOT and I'm really mad at this. Whastapp is using my radio and burns the same battery as screen

This didn't happen with my Nexus 4 and all devices that I had. I've all stock -.-'

Any idea? I need whatsapp, ofc.

(Normal use, only whatsapp, Swipe for Facebook, reddit..)

Sorry about my english
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
The thing that looks off is your Cell Standby being the #1 drain. That would indicate either signal level or mobile data usage as an abnormally high drain. 3 hours SoT over 24+ hours isn't too bad though.

Next time include the graph screenshot (tap the graph) and tap on Cell Standby as well so we can see more detailed info.
[Nexus 5X General] klaymaniaf:
I think I will get at least 5 hours or more.

Stock rom april. No root. Apps: facebook messenger whatsup google all, all other:).

20% brightness or even above not auto britghtness.

Its a good battery compared to 70-80% of phones out there.

My earlier issues with Doze not kicking in appear to have solved themselves for reasons unknown to me (I’m currently away from home, maybe there’s something about my home wifi that interferes with Doze?). But even with Doze working, I couldn’t get more than 2h 30m of screen on time on a stock 5X with the latest updates installed (GPS on high accuracy, wifi always on, screen brightness around 40%).
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Mobile radio active bug

Ignored by Google since Android 5.0
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
30 hours with bad signal and 2.30 sot sounds avout right to me.

To say my opinion this phone has extremely good battery as long as you dont push it (heavy games), any other usage and screen is the only major draw.

Coming from g2 with easily 4+ hours of gaming, the 808 of 5x is stronger and more power consuming when pushed, but the standby and light usage is similar and will easily hold you 2 days. Though i am heavy user so it barely holds until evening :p
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
My first full cycle and already hitting 5hrs SOT which is great. I am all stock and unrooted.

I have to say that stock rom is the best rom for nexus 5x since March. It is very optimized (battery and performance) .

The battery last on stock rom 3,5-5 hours depending basicaly on screen brightness.

On other roms battery its a little better but what is the point to have a smartphone if we kill - hibernate all apps.

The only thing that is making me root this phone is ads and few functionality shortcut.

Hi ,

I'm use the General Mobile 4G android one . You know android os like nexus . Charge %100 and remove charge down %96 on 2 minutes. Do you have the same problem on nexus ?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Screen on, screen off, watching video? Doing what for 2 minutes?

Just unplugging and screen off, mine stays at 100% for maybe 15-30 minutes.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
I think each phone behaves differently. Mine stays at 100% for a pretty long time, just checking facebook or instagram, it's about 5-6mins SOT, after it drops, it to normal. Whereas, when the screen is off, it drains as during regular standby, with wifi/data off, 1%/8hrs.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
1%/8 hours if it hits doze.
[Nexus 5X General] berkyldz_:
Hi ,

Thanks for reply. 2 hours while the screen is off down 96 . screen on and using instagram twitter down 2 minutes. Also, please Can you check on your nexus devices ?

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Hi,

Thanks for relpy . maybe. I want to know that. Source software ? Because I use 5 hours SOT and later than 96 decrease normal battery .
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
2 minutes is a very small time frame. Didn't even go down a percent.

Doesn't mean much though. Even if it went down 1% then by that you can estimate 3.3 hours SOT but if it took 3 minutes to drop 1% then that's 5 hours. Again, too small of a time frame to make any real conclusions.
[Nexus 5X General] berkyldz_:
What do you suggest? Source software ? What is the situation on your nexus ? I'm use 5 SOT . This a good. But This falling annoying.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
I use doze setting editor, so it hits doze pretty soon after screen turns off.

As said above, whole cycle is what matters, not a single percent drop. Sometimes I can notice, that it drops 2% at once instead of 1, but still get the same SOT overall.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Are you asking for your General Mobile 4G or do you have a 5X? I guess either way, as everyone hears time and time again, "Your mileage may vary." I get 3-3.5 hours of SOT at maybe 12-16 hours total battery on my 5X. I'm content with it. Do I wish I could get 5-6 SOT and 24 hours total like others do, of course. However, I'm one of those that's over with tweaking, installing ROMs, trying governors, etc. It works well enough to get through most days and when I need to, I have a small battery pack to quick charge it on the go. No biggie.
[Nexus 5X General] berkyldz_:
I want to ask only . How much time%100 to %96 down on nexus ? I think android 6 software based maximum 96 charged.
[Nexus 5X General] berkyldz_:
For example, battery %100 plug out and wifi off airplane mode on . after 1 hour down 97.

Weird battery behaviour

I need some help here please. It happened two times now: after a partial charge the battery percentage gets stuck at the same point forever... I've been using it for 30 mins now and it's still stuck there. What's wrong with that? Thanks a lot for helping
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
Are you using it while it is charging? I have seen mine stay at about the same percentage for a long time if I was charging on a low current charger (like an old style 0.5A charger or PC USB port) and using the pone at the same time. In that scenario, the bulk of the charge current goes to power the phone and as a result, the battery charges very slowly.

Paul
[Nexus 5X General] :
I'm sorry, I explained myself in the wrong way.

I partial charged the phone, pulled out the charger and then used it. But battery doesn't discharges.. I've just tried wiping cache from recovery, but it doesn't change anything

[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Is there a General Mobile 4G forum? I would talk it out with other users of that phone.
[Nexus 5X General] berkyldz_:
Of course, is not. So, nexus 5x is not down %100 to 96 in 2 minutes ?

It happened to me too. My battery was stucked at 33% for about half an hour with constant SOT and then suddenly battery dropped 3-4%

Doze is working well for me recently. Stock April OTA with Locations on High accuracy + Ambient Display. Brightness 40%. The only things disabled are Bluetooth and NFC.
[Nexus 5X General] surrealjam:
Over the last few weeks, my phone reports as being awake almost all the time with the useless breakdown of "Android System" being the main culprit.

I am not rooted, so sadly I cannot use most of the useful tools out there that could diagnose. I have tried uninstalling various apps that I have added recently but to no avail. A restart will temporarily fix it, but after a while it will fall back into being awake 100% of the time. The only thing I can think that's changed recently is I bought a Chromecast that I use most days for an hour or two...

Has anyone else got a similar gripe? For reference, this is running official stock unrooted, May security update ROM (MHC19Q).

Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. I have stock ROM rooted using Franco Kernel v8. And it only started lately. I had the issue with the April Update and it still happens with the May update. Google Play Services, Android System and Android OS all using more battery than my screen. Very annoying.

I've lost over 20% overnight on a few occasions when the phone is not in use at all.
