So I've had my Nexus 5X for like 7 months now. The battery life has never been great but yesterday, all of a sudden, it's REALLY bad.

Yesterday I got just barely 2 hours screen on time. If you look at the screenshots from my charge yesterday nothing is keeping the phone awake too much. The signal strength was in green most of the time which I know doesn't necessarily mean good signal strength but it was a normal work day so it shouldn't have been much difference than most days.

The last two screen shots are what I got when I fully charged the phone and left it my my bed when I went to sleep. After 7 hours I had lost 31% or about 4.5% per hour. Just a few days ago I was going to bed at 100% and waking up 7 hours later at like 97%.

Any ideas? I haven't installed any updates or apps recently.
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
My latest report. Setup is in my sig.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
Are you rooted, and do you have BBS or GSam Battery Monitor installed?
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
I'm not rooted but I do have GSam Battery Monitor installed.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
So it seems my issue was just a glitch of some kind. I restarted my phone and last night was back to my 3% drain and so far today I seem to be getting my typical mediocre battery life.

I'm not sure what the issue was. Must have been some wake lock issue that just wasn't showing up under battery details.
[Nexus 5X General] Varga666:
For me problem is still there,i figured out that in safe mode phone work perfect,so some app cause problem with wake lock,but i don't know which one...
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Data usage - 5 hours SoT - 474 hour uptime

The apps that run as 24/7 background services are the main suspects. Check your Settings > Developer Options > Running Services to monitor those. Good idea using Safe mode to narrow it down to your 3rd party apps though.

After 474 hours of up time this will be my last example with the April OTA.

100% 3g/H+ data usage including lots of HDR+ picture taking (which turned out amazing even in low light BTW) at a 20k attendance concert last night. Manual brightness average around 40%, everything enabled except locations BT and NFC this time.

The device was not fully charged for an estimated 5 hours SoT if drained from 100% - 0%.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Not that I don't belief you but where's your uptime screenshots whenever you mention it?
[Nexus 5X General] luckana:
This android system drain you guys are talking about, is *backup* partial wakelock.
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
You might want to look at Issue 198466 on the AOSP Issue Tracker. Does that possibly describe your issue? I get very low standby drain unless this issue is active.

[Nexus 5X General] harryohh:
My issue was caused by audioln wakelock. This was due to having OK Google Detection always on. Once I turned this off, the phone went back to sleeping correctly. Don't know why this suddenly started causing an issue as I've always had this feature enabled since I got the phone in February. It's only in the last few weeks it has given trouble.
[Nexus 5X General] connecorn:
Not bad at all. Many thanks
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
The services screenshot was included for that. 474 hours running on some of those system services. I don't include the setting page with uptime because it also displays imei and Mac addresses.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I see it. Missed that part. Very impressive.
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Pure Nexus MTC19T, ElementalX v1.14, GhostPepper profile. 41 hours use, 5hr SOT.

With my standard use of web browsing and messaging. Great results. ;) :good:
[Nexus 5X General] Mgssidley:
When setting the GhostPepper profile, did you load the profiles in EXKM, or did you enter all the values manually?
[Nexus 5X General] luckana:
the way you put it, what could be the difference ? :D
[Nexus 5X General] Mgssidley:
When I was applying the Butterfly profile, it seemed that doing it automatically gave different values than were posted in the thread. I'm wondering if doing it manually gives better results because it's using the correct settings...
[Nexus 5X General] luckana:
i believe there has been more than one version of this profile, maybe that's ur answer
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Do you have location enabled and location history?

I do and I'm not getting more than 3h sot with the same setup (but running butterfly, it's much smoother)
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
I wonder if you can stretch it out to 8 hrs SOT :D

[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
The best I got on 6.0.1 ROMs is 6Hr SOT over 1.5 days. However looking at the results you got with N DP2, I am excited to try it. Who knows maybe we will hit 8hr SOT consistently with a custom rom+ kernel when android N is out. Can't wait. :cowboy:

No. Unless I open maps (yandex) or Cab booking apps, I always leave location disabled. Everything else related to location is switched off.
[Nexus 5X General] freq_ency:
2 days of battery in nexus 5x using ghost pepper script. Here are some screenshots.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
That's impressive and all but I doubt I could only be on my phone 1.5 hours a day.
[Nexus 5X General] freq_ency:
Meaning?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Meaning that's barely using the phone. I wouldn't even call it light use. Maybe very, very light use.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:

Can't get rid of it...

Hey guys. I am back with some more stats. 3 days off the charger. 4hr30min SOT. PureNexus , ElementalX, ghostpepper.

Mostly wifi used.
[Nexus 5X General] FreeCry:
For me, battery life has not been to great until recently. Even though people are happy about how good idle times are, SoT is more important IMHO. So I discovered the following things really helping me to get more SoT:

- Using Velis Auto Brightness App (way better than the default android auto brightness feature)

- Disabling location service (and apps scanning for location in advanced location settings!)

- Not using Facebook's own app (even though I never really experienced any major battery drop from it)

I use metal for facebook and twitter.

Yesterday I got 6hrs of SoT over the whole day with medium usage like webbrowsing/instagram/facebook.

Wifi and data on. I am running stock android - no root or any other customisation.

I would love to post some screenshots, but as I am new to this forum, I am not yet allowed to :p

Let me know what you think :)

[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Yesterday I got about 3hrs (94% - 15% ) on data only, streaming music using bluetooth for some time. Much better standby time on data than on M. Now it drains about the same as M with edited build.prop. Oh, I forgot, I'm on DP3 :)
[Nexus 5X General] RashidD:
That is awesome, what's your screen brightness at? And what is the dark theme you're using?
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
i will probably update to N too since may update broke M for me. historian reports SYSTEM ANDROID *backup* is a single time wakelock (1 count) that is always on and drains my battery plus does not let my phone doze. though historian says that the phone did actually enter doze, i lost 30% of battery during sleep which is not normal especially for doze.

i have done cache deletes, reboots, nothing works :(

nevermind, seems like update decided to enable google backup for the phone, despite i never enable/use this ****... it would be nice if at least google warn us about it

Missing stats

I was interested to know if anyone seen it where a chunk of stats are missing ( see attached )?

It seems to correspond with loss of cell signal.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
you just had turned off your phone that time, probably you were updating ;)
[Nexus 5X General] carm01:
I did not turn my phone off for that time. Do you not see that wifi was active during that time frame?
[Nexus 5X General] johnbrighton:
Watching thread closely and will post my results soon - I've only done one charge so far. This morning my phone shows 5 DAYS remaining lol - I so wish that was true. I'm not a heavy daily user, but my current HTC One battery is starting to fade, having to use battery saver all of the time.

I hope that battery is ok on here or I'll be taking it back!
[Nexus 5X General] bhavi_jp:
Here is my usage on Sunday.

I streamed the Bills Jags game in the morning hence heavy usage by the yahoo fantasy app.. The screen brightness was set at about 5-10 percent brightness for most of the day except for 15-20 minutes (set at about 40% brightness) when I was outside in the morning watching football stream.
[Nexus 5X General] johnbrighton:
That's pretty good....... I've only just needed to plug in with less than 10% left. It's lasted 24 hours, 2 1/2 hrs SOT, lots of resetting to factory settings, installing everything and a bit of normal use.....I expect my next charge to do a bit better.....
[Nexus 5X General] km8j:
I cannot get anywhere near this. 2.5 hours max. wth...
[Nexus 5X General] ghettopops:
Getting mixed results with mine. Today, on and off WiFi, GPS for 15 mins and 2 hrs SoT and 3 reboots due to warming issues and I'm down to 30%. Not happy seeing as been off charger 6 hrs.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Well first day at work with my Nexus 5X and just like any other phone, low service really kills the battery even with WiFi connected. I only get 1-2 bars. 6am to 3:45pm and came out with about 15% and probably only 2 hours SOT. Will continue to use manually turn on battery saver to get out of a shift with decent battery left. On the bright side, it never got hot like my Galaxy S5 did with the low service.
[Nexus 5X General] crispy1:
On day 4 now and seeing Android System Android and Android OS consuming way more battery than I would expect, usually more than display or anything else. Many of the reports posted here shows the same thing.

From my experience with other Android phones, this seems unusual. Is there an assignable cause?
[Nexus 5X General] ghettopops:
Going to try my other job out tmro. I get signal maybe 20% of the time(the upper level is steel and cement). My 1+2 normally drops down to 69-73% after 6 hr shift with Bluetooth to my Pebble and maybe 20-30 mins SoT.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I'm on Sprint and I know I've seen an article that it's one of the carriers that's low on the battery life when comparing the same phone across all of them.
[Nexus 5X General] big_b0sss:
On my 4th charging cycle and i have to say I'm kinda liking the battery life on this server my purpose, doze is doing excellent job takes sometimes to work tho.
[Nexus 5X General] dwang:
About 4:30 hours sot with about 90% lte and 10% WiFi.
[Nexus 5X General] clninja:
Hmmm any thoughts on what happened here?

Awake is constant

I never turn on my wifi but it shows little blips
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:
I'm pretty happy with the battery life. I consistently get around 4 hours of screen on time. I probably could have made it to 4.5 hours but I was at work for the first couple of hours, and my reception is terrible there.
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
I'm getting horrendous battery life on my 5x. The second my screen is on it drops 1-2% a minute. I flashed the factory image, factory reset etc.. to no avail. I'm also getting weird processes draining my battery but the main offenders are Android system and Android OS. My screen barely used 5% battery but just typing this on my 5X at 0 brightness in a dark room my battery has dropped 3% and that's not exaggerating at all. I called Google to get a RMA which is coming sometime eventually.... I just want my 6P because I can't deal with this battery life :(

Is anyone else having this severe of an issue? I've never had a phone her such horrible battery life and I've owned ~30 Android phones now. I want to keep this guy stock for now to use Android pay otherwise I would flash a kernel and see what's going on
[Nexus 5X General] Pilz:
I can barely manage 2hrs SOT and that's only if I have adaptive brightness off and brightness at 0. My phone is likely defective if you my screenshots above.
[Nexus 5X General] btort1:
Any idea why gsm battery isn't working for me? It just shows x's and doesn't record like usual. I'm rooted with twrp

And also is Doze on by default or does it do it automatically? Or do we have to go on each app to disable background data?
[Nexus 5X General] goonnoodles:
my Battery life experience

I've been having pretty terrible battery life, i made a YouTube video to show my experience, location settings was a tiny culprit, but still i can barely make it through my day doing nothing but maybe texting, and the new in-depth battery guide doesn't help really at all.

youtube.com/watch?v=pkhBzYPFSbs
[Nexus 5X General] F'n Amazing:
pretty happy with battery life so far. Yesterday had 4 hours SOT with 26% left before I went to bed. Took off charger at 730 am, got in bed ~1145pm. Wifi use is 50/50 or thereabouts. Always on wifi at home, but still have that ridiculous wifi drain while at work, so I dont bother connecting to it, so infuriating.
[Nexus 5X General] Raistlin1:
Battery life is pretty bad for me as well, still trying to get through some cycles before really banging my head on a wall. So far it is been about 2 hours SOT, maybe 2.5.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:

How can people get 7-7.75 hours of SOT with regular use? That is so far to the right of a bell curve of SOTs. I think maybe I can get that if I set my screen to sleep at 30 minutes and turn it on once an hour. LOL

[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
I have to say that it's 100% possible. Clash of Clans is the only app that really drains my battery, despite the fact that it's not that performance demanding game. 10% of battery = 25-28mins SOT of CoC, whereas when I watch a film, use browser or facebook, it drains about 6-7mins/1%. So in my regular use I get about 4hrs SOT in 24h standby, mostly CoC, without watching any films. When I do, I can easily get 5-6h SOT.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Interesting. I would figure CoC would drain more. I've done a couple YouTube WiFi streaming tests and just video with the volume muted, I got 10% used in 30 minutes. Kind of poor compare to the 2016 phones are getting only 5-7% used in the same period. I gotta retest with Android N beta though.

Update:

Just retested with Android N beta DP3 and did see improvement of 8% used in 30 minutes.

I'm a little confused by your last sentence. Did you mean "when I do watch films and not play CoC..." you get 5-6 hours SOT?
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
In my personal opinion, battery drains a lot during calls compared with watching YouTube.
[Nexus 5X General] carm01:
I don't think you understand unfortunately.
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
When I play CoC AND watch films during that cycle. I wonder how it would like with no coc at all.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Getting better....

[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Could you provide a link to this kernel? Because I can't find it anywhere.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
How do you figure that? Talk time is always rated the most battery life.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

Oh I got it. Playing only games kills more battery than a combination gaming and watching video. That does make sense.
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
Have you ever done 2 hours of calling during a single cycle?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I probably barely do 2 hours of calls in a billing cycle. LOL. But drain more than watching video I find hard to believe. Just screen on vs screen off alone it doesn't make sense.
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
As far as I think it may be related to proximity sensor......that's the only thing I can suspect of battery drain during call.

[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Did you basically watch YouTube, let it doze, watch YouTube again?
[Nexus 5X General] timmylamoule:
Hmmm... I'm very curious how you use your N5X. I get 3-4hours SoT with N DP3 (full stock).

But I'm moving (cars / train / walking / running ), do you use it only at home ?

My last battery stat is : 95% to 10 % : 3h15min SoT and like 20% of SoT / 19% of Google Maps / 7% inactive / 7% android OS / 7% android platform / 7% Google Play Services

:crying:

Are you using N DP3 full stock ? Custom Kernel ?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Oh okay cause it sure looks like that's what happened especially with that consistent diagonal decline.

Maybe you could elaborate or your usage getting 6+ hours?

Hello everyone!

Before a couple of days I bought nexus 5x. The problem (?) is that I am wondering if my battery consumption is normal. Specifically, when my phone is idle (with wifi on) it consumes about 1% per two hours. Is this normal ?

Thanks in advance!

-----------comments-----------

1)I optimized every app with the battery save feature android 6 offers

2)ambient display is off

3)``ok google" is off

4) GPS, Bluetooth are off

5)in settings-->accounts--->google I disabled any kind of synchronization (only yahoo mail is active)
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Maybe if it was a local video and not streaming. YouTube 1080p testing for me I would get an estimated 6.25 hours at an 18%/hour rate.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
BT on, Google Music, Chrome, Google Cards, Gmail and Yahoo sync, photos and videos auto-backup, whatsapp and FB messenger active.

Its mine. I have got three phones at the moment and got nexus 5x recently yes did not know how to take screenshot in nexus 5x as never used nexus devices before ..It was power and home button together in S6

I used devices with great battery like lg g2, z2, z3 compact , s5, note 4 etc so this one is average compare to old devices but very much same as s6

10 hours SoT is possible [MENTION=2840465]EeZeEpEe[/MENTION] I did show that possibility with browsing Reddit and streaming Spotify a couple months back by draining from 99->89% with 1 hour SoT at 50% brightness. I'd look it up but XDA search, and 10 hours of constant usage isn't very realistic.
