Nice dude looking good. Lol it's cool man I know how it goes around here. Should've given it few days before I jumped the gun. Haven't tried hawktail 1.2 might have to give that a run and see how it goes.

I'm kind of losing my mind about my phone.

18'ish hours is basically all I get, before battery saver kicks in.

The gaps in WLAN are my daily commute.

What freaks me out is the near-solid active bar for the first third of the day - and after that NOTHING. Even when the screen was on. How is this possible? What is happening?

-Android 7.1.1 (Vanilla Android OTA; nothing modded)

-Bluetooth off

-location: GPS + WiFi + BT + Cell

-disabled nearly all Google syncs, except Gmail, Books, Calendar, Contacts

-I'm not listening to anything on my commute for now; just browsing Wikipedia or some news sites

-wiped cache every now and then; didn't seem to matter

-did that "reset app battery optimization" thing yesterday; didn't work

I have this phone for 2,5 months now, installed OTA Nougat when I got the phone. After 7.1 came out and the problems didn't go away, I reflashed it with the 7.1 image. For two or three days, I got decent battery life out of it (the active bars being on par with screen on), but then the problems came back. Did the 7.1.1 OTA but nothing changed.

Any good idea what is happening here?

(yesterday battery saver kicked in after 12 hours or so, but that was Facebook, as you may have heard)
[Nexus 5X General] MounirHero:
Hi all, my Nexus 5x wont charge but Red led is blinking, I broke the originale LG type c cable and I left the phone discharged for 5-6 days until the new cable come, and now It wont boot nor charge with no cable or Wall charger combination, searched on web and found people saying to let It in charger overnight then try booting and similar things but nothing is working.

anyone here got this problem?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
"all" you can get? How many hours are you expecting from this sub 3000 mAh battery phone? That's good enough and it only takes 60 minutes to go 15% to 90%.
[Nexus 5X General] t-6:
Please look at the bars for active and screen on - does that look right to you? The device is awake for basically the first third or half of the day. After that: nothing - even when the screen is on.

I uninstalled Facebook yesterday, to see if that made any difference - it didn't.

And as I said - after I factory-flashed the device, battery was way up. The 'averages per complete charge' for battery life shown in GSam (attached) sound about right for what the device was able to do. More than 30 hours calculated.

Something "happened" after the factory-flash that effed up the battery consumption, deep doze or whatever.g

edit: This post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69388543&postcount=1768

...shows what I'd expect. Or even more, because I average maybe 1,5 hours SOT over the day.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I get about the same thing.

It's not a great battery life phone.
[Nexus 5X General] t-6:
It seems that you kind of have the same problem: The phone is way more awake during screen off than it should be. Ideally the bars 'Awake' & 'Screen on' should line up.

I've just reflashed 7.1.1 January and have right now 7 hours left - on 22 % charge left (charged it a bit after flashing). This is more in line with what I'd expect.

Let's see how it holds up tomorrow.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Since October i had been facing issues with my phone's idle battery drain. And i thought it was the battery and i kept on using it instead of sending it to repairs. But last week my phone started rebooting randomly even after flashing factory images which made me think about sending it to repairs.

Last Monday i finally decided to visit the LG repairs and submitted the device. They kept it under the observation for a day and changed they motherboard.

This is my first battery cycle after repairs which i am really enjoying after so many months. Good to have my phone back :laugh:
[Nexus 5X General] Sinistersky:
Change the battery. Had the same problem. LG put old batteries in some N5X phones. Now i get over 45 hours standby with 4 hours SOT easy. My last battery was made 30/10/2013 -.- New one is 06/05/2016
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
:0 how do you do that? Can I see when it was made without opening phone and breaking grantee?
[Nexus 5X General] Sinistersky:
Well, yes. You need to open the back cover only. And the date is stamped on the battery with big letters. The back is opened really really easy. You can't break anything or void your warranty, unless you do it with a knife or a hack saw or a AK47 or something. There are plenty of youtube videos detailing how to open the back cover. Check them out. Honestly, it's really easy to open the phone. I had terrible battery life with all kernels, all profiles, all ROMs. Had no wakelocks. So I thought it's a hardware problem(bettery). And it was. Good luck
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Ok many thanks, I will consider it :)

When you had that problem, If you put airplane mode in 8 hours you still had drain? For me it´s about 1%, so I guess my battery still "fine"
[Nexus 5X General] Sinistersky:
Let me put it this way, right now, when i DON'T have airplane mode, in 10 hours of standby time I lose 0%. But, yes, back then I had drain even in airplane mode. You decide what to do, but I would get a new batter yin your place. They cost 10 USD.
[Nexus 5X General] t-6:
Just to rehash: After I re-flashed 7.1.1 January, my battery went up. WAAAAAAY up. After my usual day, I had 55% charge left, when I ordinarily would have had like maybe 25% left, or less. Calculated total: 31h

Reflashing did the trick. Now let's see if it holds.
[Nexus 5X General] t-6:
3rd day after reflashing and the battery has 58% left after 14 hours, 19 hours remaining, ~1,5h SOT (work day), instead of the usual ~25% remaining. This is more than I expected.

Saturday & Sunday showed each a combined lifetime of over 40 hours /w ~2h SOT. Excellent.

The "Awake" bar is now nearly in line with "Screen On".

Reflashing did the trick.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Any screenshots?
[Nexus 5X General] :
I get about 5 hours of screen on, 4G on and playing games.

I have Pure Nexus rom with flash kernel and Hawktail profile and I also change resolution to 720*1280 (don't a Big change it is HD but not full HD) and because I downed the resolution I put the 2 Big cores offline and I only kept 4 cores locked and 860 MHz and the GPU locked on 300MHz and the phones runs very very smooth and games too.

Honestly the 3 first days I changed the resolution I saw the change but After not.

Look the pictures (it's only 4h15 but I flashed the rom yesterday and don't calibrate the battery and I used 4G all the time and it also left 18%).

PS: when Xposed will be available I will use amplify and powernap to have 0% battery drain during sleep.
[Nexus 5X General] MaLiXs:
Wonderful standby time. I think I'm gonna see if I can get about 48 hour. [emoji1]

Where did you order the new battery?
[Nexus 5X General] jrk190:
I can't seem to improve past this. Barely getting 3hrs sot!
[Nexus 5X General] Sinistersky:
Hmm

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1254c6m1g63eqdd/13 # left.png?dl=0

NOTE: The 2:52h charging was to charge it from 13% that I had left after those 2 days of usage. If you combine the 62% from Active and 25% from Passive it comes to 87%. I can pull out another hour from those 13 % probably. I was on 3g all the time. I think I spent 1h and 20 minutes charging it to 100% then used it for 2 days to 13% then charged it again for an hour to 82%, something like that

Also, this is from standby time on 3g over-night and some morning. I charged it to 82% for 22 minutes and then left it over night discharging.

Ebay. From Germany.
[Nexus 5X General] jrk190:
Woah, how did you do all that? I'd love to try and see what I get.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Hello Guy to do that follow these steps :

-I'm on Android 7.1.1 with Pure Nexus rom

1) download resolution changer pro and set resolution on 720*1280 with 294 dpi to keep proportions.

2) download 3c toolbox or and other app to control your CPU and download flash kernel (I prefer it for underclocking but elemental is very good toi).

After you need to set cpu governor on chill or conservative and set Big CPU cores (4 and 5) offline and set the frequency of other cores to 864MHz. You also need to set GPU governor frequency on 300MHz max.

Set io scheduler on noop and read cache on 128.

3) download Lspeed (beta available on XDA labs)and in battery section set agressive doze.

4) download ex kernel manager and go to CPU and there in governor options load Hawktail

5)in Android settings go to location and set this on battery saving mode and TAP on the 3 points on top right of your screen and there disable wifi and bt research.

6)if you are on Android 6 go there https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884

Hope you get insane battery life :p

PS: I also freeze Google app because it is too an energy monster
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Nothing impressive compared to others but I did get an improvement after attempting a factory image reflash. For whatever reason, I couldn't get it flashed as it kept failing. However, the act of unlocking and locking the bootloader did erase my phone any way. Prior to this, I would've been at 15%, give or take, on the same usage.
[Nexus 5X General] hilla_killa:
****ing awesome battery life
[Nexus 5X General] Dulguundd:
Which kernel are you using? Governor etc..?
[Nexus 5X General] :
What you using there Killa?
[Nexus 5X General] hilla_killa:
Pure nexus, elemental kernel, hawktail1.2 governor profile, heavy duty v2 thermal tweaks, greenify aggressive doze, wifi all day was home

Dont expect these results trust me it dont happen everyday usually is like 5hrs sot maybe 5.5 hrs
[Nexus 5X General] :
That hawktail is the ****!! Thanks for sharing! :good:
[Nexus 5X General] hilla_killa:
Yes its the best one for me, I've tried all the others and with hawktail i get the results like my pictures a few posts up! I dont understand when people try it and get like 2hrs sot and crappy battery life! Im just gonna say user error on their part. Its so easy to set up! I'm extremely happy with my setup. I have like 0 idle drain as well!

I edited my above post where u asked my setup, forgot 1 thing
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Hey guys. Back after a long time. This time I tested the battery drain after using Greenify app. Before that I had a habit of freezing Play Store and Play services in Titanium backup. Just to make sure they dont misbehave. However I stopped doing that recently. Instead went with Greenify app and added the play store and play services apps to hibernate list. It works really well. Play services still shows up in battery usage by apps list, but it does not cause a lot of drain. I am getting phenomenal battery life over last 3 use cycles. :D

S-AOSP rom (latest 7.1.1) , ElementalX kernel, GlassFish profile, Pico Gapps. Not a lot of apps installed. Usage includes email, messaging, web browsing and occasional camera snaps. Cellular signal is not very strong in my university, but still ended up with great numbers. Check the pictures attached. Thanks and cheers. :good: :)

But I want to change resolution to 720x1080p and change dpi then to keep equal resolution.

I think it could save some battery
[Nexus 5X General] hilla_killa:
I didnt change anything at all. This is how pure Nexus comes out the box minus the theme
[Nexus 5X General] fedesandor:
In your opinion, which is the best configuration to get insane battery life and a good performance?
[Nexus 5X General] :
ABC rom with included kernel which is now DUs Unicorn Blood kernel. I cleared 4.5 hours SOT yesterday and 14 total hours. That's using no Naptime or Greenify apps or anything just using it as is. Pretty good imo. :)
[Nexus 5X General] hilla_killa:
Yes

Dont use your phone

Insane battery life!
[Nexus 5X General] j-a-d-z:
Yesterday, most time at home. 7.1.2 DP, franco kernel, naptime, greenify.
[Nexus 5X General] :
In reference to this but using aggressive doze Greenify. I'll get some start to finish stats up within the next few days but while this is not the best battery life I can squeeze out if a device it works. :)
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Better than 7.1.1 or similar?
[Nexus 5X General] j-a-d-z:
First time more than six hours sot with greenify and naptime, but don't know if it's franco or 7.1.2 the cause for the improvement.
[Nexus 5X General] gorilla p:
Using latest PureNexus with Jolla kernel

Blu-Active governor. Disabled additional touch post. Using Greenify.

Nice stats! What theme is that your using? Looks killer!! ?

Edit

Also where's your other screenshot that shows signal...etc..
[Nexus 5X General] ElMakbub:
Where do I get the blu-active governor from?
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Stock, no root

My device is stock 7.1.1 Feb OTA, no root.

About 30-40% manual brightness, only Locations and BT disabled. Doze and Doze on the Go have been working quite consistently since the last OTA, after which I also cleared my storage cache (settings>storage>cached data then reboot).

Full album here.

Anybody using Lspeed for battery life? Useful ordinateur useless?
[Nexus 5X General] seromba:
wtf how are you guys getting 5+ SoT...? im getting around 1.5 hours... purnexus rom + elementalx kernel with Hawktail 1.2 profile... i even bought a new battery because i heard of the amazing battery life with my current kernel profile setup and i was getting awful battery life beforehand too.
[Nexus 5X General] seromba:
here are some screens...

BT: used with wireless headphones for a few hours per day. + notifications from fitness tracker on wrist

Location: battery saving to sync with fitness tracker

Wifi: on to save data with Project Fi VPN service/connected to WiFi at work/at home

im planning on going a full day tomorrow without any of my BT/WiFi/Location services on. I'd hate to have to give up my preferences for battery life (especially when i see so many screenshots of others who have no need to settle) but i'll report back on my findings.
[Nexus 5X General] seromba:
i actually tried using it with the battery profile and i noticed my battery life was worse than without the app...
[Nexus 5X General] seromba:
Update:

WIfi off when not connected, bluetooth off when not using headphones, location services off 99% of the day: similar crap battery life...

i also reduced screen brightness to 10-40% depending on the visibility and turned off auto brightness :/
[Nexus 5X General] CazeW:
Besides the varying signal strength which eats battery, something is keeping your phone awake a lot when the screen is off. I recommend using BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector or GSam to identify what's keeping the phone awake. Also using something like Greenify might help.
[Nexus 5X General] seromba:
i've tried using BetteryBatteryStats + Greenify but I didn't get any real results from it. i'll see if i can do some research on using greenify effectively and post another set of screenshots tomorrow. thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
does that governor underclock? also does aggressive mode make you miss notifications?
[Nexus 5X General] -Happy Feet-:
Complete stock. I try it tomorrow with custom kernel. Which kernel is the best?
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
So hawktail governor is famous because it disables the a57 cores?
[Nexus 5X General] khanjui:
No, they are going offline when you have less than 5% charge.
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
Thanks! :) I'm trying my first day with hawktail... we'll see
[Nexus 5X General] -Happy Feet-:
Has anyone an idea how can I stop this wakelock?
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
Nothing different from stock or franco...50% with 2h screen, the usual...
[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
Try to uninstall Google Play Services and install it back through Google Play

If it will not help you, try to use Service Disabler, it's in GP, developed by Franco.
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Battery life mostly depends on usage, regardless of ROM and Kernel.

I flash various ROMs and Kernels all the time to experiment and I never see a different battery life.

However, what frustrates me the most is that battery drain during idle times.

Why in the world does the battery decrease when the phone is not in use?

I block wakelocks, I block services, I remove useless apps, I tweak kernels and choose optimized ROMs, and there I DO see a difference, but it never lasts long, a day or two later my battery will again drain during idle... maybe less, but still, it would.

That is truly annoying, and is not specific to NX5, but to Android in general.
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
I agree.
[Nexus 5X General] -Happy Feet-:
I'm happy with this battery life. Pure Nexus ROM and latest Franco Kernel. When I was on work I enable the power saving profile.
[Nexus 5X General] crazyates:
At my work, I have zero cell signal. I have to leave the building to send/recieve a simple text. I hate the battery drain, and I'm on the building's wifi, so I started putting the phone into airplane mode, then re-enabling the wifi after.

I found a way to automate this, with minimal drop in service. I used adb to remove wifi from the list of radios that get turned off by Airplane Mode, and then used Tasker to turn on Airplane Mode when the WiFI is connected to the SSID of my work WiFI.

I walk in the building, my phone automatically connects to the saved WiFi, and then Tasker turns on Airplane Mode (which now doesn't turn off WiFi). I leave the building, WiFi disconnects, and Tasker turns off Airplane mode.

i'm using this as a temporary situation, because I don't care about not sending/receiving calls/texts while I'm at work, because I can't anyways! I'm switching to Google Fi, which sends calls/texts thru WiFi, so I may enable this for all WiFi, not just my work. I'm going to see how it goes, see how intrusive it is (if at all), and what my battery savings are (if any).
[Nexus 5X General] -sandro-:
Very clever, might be helpful for someone. Let us know how the battery improves ;)
[Nexus 5X General] 02riccio:
What to do?

Hello guys,

I have no root and a 7.1.2 beta installed.

No Ambient Display or movement tips, auto-syncro, GPS, NFC all toggled off but still making 2 hours of active screen. Check the attachments.

What do I have to do?

I read about changing Kernel or stuff like that but I really need your advice!

Thanks :good:
[Nexus 5X General] EstiR86:
Disagree. Stock Dirty Unicorn 11.1 weekly easily gets an hour and half more screentime compared to any other ROM. No lie.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Those screenshots don't tell us much, because you didn't scroll down on the first one and you forgot to include the detailed graph. You need at least those 3 screenshots such as in my example below, even then we can only guess what your issue might be. Remember you can use Developer Options > Running Services to see which of your 3rd party apps are using RAM and battery 24/7 as background services. Also when you're running beta software issues can be more common.

Stock 7.1.1 Feb OTA (running March OTA now though :good:) with 40% manual brightness. Locations on High Accuracy and only BT is disabled.
[Nexus 5X General] 02riccio:
Check this, thanks.
[Nexus 5X General] EstiR86:
Android system is using alot of battery. I would recommend switching to a custom ROM it fixed the drain I had I had over 25 % drain from Android OS and system it was ridiculous. I moved to Dirty Unicorn and this is my results. Of course I tweaked it and you can check my profile and tweaks called Butterly and Co in the interactive governor thread.

On the road to 6 hours easy with the best possible performance from the Nexus 5x highly recommend you check out some of the tweaks.
[Nexus 5X General] Geliao:
Hi there, just want to know if you're running custom kernel with this stats? Thanks. I've been always wanted to improve my battery life but I wanted to stay stock cause I want to keep the ota updates coming.
[Nexus 5X General] Geliao:
I don't know if I am doing great. Running all stock(7.1.1 March update) no custom kernel, rom installed. You would be the judge. Would you consider changing my kernel or rom?
[Nexus 5X General] EstiR86:
This looks about average if you want a tad more I would just install a custom kernel preferable Phasma it's smoother than Franco and its more battery efficient then ElementalX. Also doesn't hurt to give an interactive profile a shot. I'm getting 6 hours SOT with 0.18% idle drain.
[Nexus 5X General] zzy11:
It's killing me. Battery is draining.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
That one screenshot doesn't tell us much. We need more info.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Was it like that on 7.1.1 as well? Hard to say besides maybe Facebook. Might be worth accessing their website through chrome or one of the Facebook lite type apps. You can use Settings > Developer options > running services to check which of your 3rd party apps are using phone resources 24/7.

Yea I'm completely stock, no root access even. Custom ROMs could only hope to increase battery life by disabling functionality (GAPless, etc.) and custom kernels can only do so by lowering performance (clock speeds) using CPU governor tweaks. In the best case scenario that would be only be for moments where the drop in performance is not noticable but I like to think that Qualcomm, Google and LG has the SoC set for its optimal frequencies, voltages and thermal points on our device already.

Usage of the device is what determines battery life most, signal and settings come in after that. I think root users forget that fact when they post battery stats only indicating their ROM and kernel while not indicating basics such as app usage (scroll down on the app list before screenshotting!), brightness, or if they disabled GAPs. Basically attributing everything to their ROM and kernel when their impact is known to be minimal.

I haven't really seen much postings with custom ROM and kernels that couldn't be achieved on a stock device in my opinion. There are some exceptions where users lower the clock speeds significantly or remove Google services but I mean without altering the stock experience.
[Nexus 5X General] crazyates:
I think they're supposed to do that. The problem is at what rate... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 5X General] zzy11:
Coming up. Anything helpful?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
These screenshots are 2 hours after your first one which showed 33 minutes SOT. How much SOT did you have at that point? It looks like you had constant use after that period of doze.
[Nexus 5X General] zzy11:
Usually the battery won't get through 5hrs sot.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
5 hours SOT is doable as some people have posted that and more but I wouldn't say people average that. You have 2 hours of SOT at 60% battery which sounds pretty fine to me. I'm guessing you get around 3.75-4.25 hours? I wish I could get that as I probably get 3.5 hours tops.
[Nexus 5X General] zzy11:
Ah, I m just disappointed at this time . Anyway 5hrs satisfies me when I'm at home, but pretty poor outside.
[Nexus 5X General] 02riccio:
I got back to 7.1.1 and I'm getting pretty the same stats... Can you tell me a good kernel and ROM? I want to try if something changes.
[Nexus 5X General] EstiR86:
Has anyone tested the actual effect on battery for readahead size? I'm running it at 2048k no problems just wondering if I max it out or bump it up will there me a significant battery drain.
