People who are turning off sync, location, Chrome, putting the backlight down to the dimmest it can go, and other things just to try to conserve battery is ridiculous that we need to do this. I don't understand why Google didn't do further testing and come out with something that they knew would blow the consumer away. It seems like they should have known that. Instead they sent a device that is very unsatisfactory to the majority of people. Sure there are some devices that are getting greater results, but the majority are sucking ass.
[Nexus 5X General] dbrohrer:
Is there some device that you are comparing the 5x to that meets all of your expectations? You say that Google should have come out with something that would blow the consumer away... I don't understand that statement. You want something revolutionary, that does everything other phones do but much faster and more efficiently, plus add on a bunch of brand new features that no other phones have. But wait, don't make it cost much more than a Nexus 5 two years ago. The simple fact is we can't have everything. I was disappointed when I saw the specs for the 5x in September. After using the phone and giving it an honest chance, I am REALLY happy with it. I liked my Nexus 4, 5, and 6, but each phone had major shortcomings. My opinion is the 5x is a strikes a great balance and it is greater than the sum of its parts.

I hope I didn't offend. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
That's strange.. I know a lot of custom roms have that issue, but I've never read anyone experiencing that on stock, including myself. But it shouldn't make any difference in battery life.
[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
It doesn't, but it is oddly annoying.
[Nexus 5X General] Rage9one:
Using stock nougat, battery life is amazing! 2-3 days of light-medium use every time.
[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
Dose you have screenshoots of battery?

last time i flashed N stock rom ( befores last security patched) a battery was terrible. also did clean install without settings. battery drain was from android os/system. screen was on 2rd-3rd postiton.

so i go back to M rom and wait for fix this https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=211226
[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
Got a quick question, Greenify with donate package will not improve battery life on N? If Will be xposed, amplify will improve or not? I don't know to root N or not
[Nexus 5X General] Batticus:
Xposed doesn't exist yet for N. As for Greenify I do not know.
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
I upgraded from Mm to N Sept security patch, battery life is definitely better now. I get about 1% drain per 4-5 hours and battery use seems to last longer.

Rooted with elementalx, flashed without wiping.
[Nexus 5X General] Batticus:
Went back from Nougat to M with PureNexus. Idle drain went from up to 4% per hour back to 0.38%.
[Nexus 5X General] ciachu2:
Could please tell me what battery monitor is this?
[Nexus 5X General] Batticus:
It's from the Ex Kernel Manager.
[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
How did you downgrade?
[Nexus 5X General] mohammad2010:
Battery Life in Android 7 Has worsened
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
I see many references to poor battery life on "N". My experience has been that from the very first preview build I used, standby drain on "N" has been quite good. And the final release is even slightly better. See below. This is a totally stock N5X with nothing synching in the background, on WiFi most of the time and a strong cell signal (ATT).

Note that I don't attempt to track anything other than standby time. It is the most important parameter for me, and drain while the phone is in use is far too dependent on factors that are hard to control.

[Nexus 5X General] osiris355:
I have absolutely awful drain. Something is keeping the phone from dozing.

I even did a factory reset and made sure to do a fresh install so did NOT restore any apps. I left location on but did not sign into google now or anything. My phone STILL would not doze. In fact straight idle without installing anything on the phone let me at 1.5 days of battery life on the graph.

Something is keeping our phones awake and im starting to think it could be a core google app.
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
With location on, I lose 1% per hour.

Location off, I lose 1% per 4-5 hours. It was worse on mm, guessing could be due to conflict with greenify.
[Nexus 5X General] joenexus:
For those looking for more standby time - a useful no root app to enable battery saver when screen is off. Needs permission through adb command, but works well for me.

[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
Nougat installed with settings restore from MM.

Green Line signal is at Night. Frenco kernel + naptime. 960mhz 5h while i sleep. Wifi was on, Bluetooth and nfc off. Location device only
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
Anyone have the stock OTA build of Nougat on their Nexus 5X? Any improvement of battery life? Or still just as bad as Marshmallow?
[Nexus 5X General] ludovicien:
Brand new 5x three days old and three days of 4-4.5 hrs sot. Totally stock. Just did a factory reset after installing 7. I've listened to a lot of music, taken a lot of photos and generally played with it a lot. I can live with this.
[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
Next tests with wifi shows on Line in 4 tests.

1. Wifi on- wifi always then sleep

2. Wifi off

3. Wifi on- - use wifi then sleep-off

4. Wifi on- - use wifi then sleep -on - leave it on Night.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
Wow your battery is extremely bad :0

I noticed a big improvement with naptime
[Nexus 5X General] mohammad2010:
what is combined app cpu in Gsam battery App !? 28% battery usage!!!
[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
i think it android os/system.
[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
with wifi off and naptime coud get straight line :) do not know whats to try clean install or go back to marshal.
[Nexus 5X General] enzo_cz:
Clean N install won't make it any better. After all I erased everything, pushed factory images thru fastboot but usual drain especially idle kept on coming. Franco kernel and Naptime changed all of that and now finally enjoyig 5+ hrs SOT.
[Nexus 5X General] Ben8200:
I installed manually with root (supersu) the NRD90S, and I'm getting terrible battery life. I'm talking about 1h 20m SOT with 28% percent battery now.
[Nexus 5X General] :
I'm on UberStock and Racer and I rarely use wifi so I'm on LTE 90% of the time. When im not using it I keep it turned off... I got right at 4 sot yesterday. That's great imo. Think I found my setup for a while. :)
[Nexus 5X General] kevin0304s:
I'am on stock urooted android N and i've got 4h SOT (around 25% decrease per hour SOT) with some snapchat, fitbit, instagram and NBA live.

Can i get more with other kernels?
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
Have been watching this thread for some time. It appears that international 5X's (H791 v. H790) get better battery life than US ones. Highly scientific study based on semi-occasional reading of the thread.
[Nexus 5X General] perrocaliente:
Yea but a smart phone that isn't syncing is pretty dumb imo. I guess if all you're trying to prove is the OS itself that SORTA shows something. However I would like to believe that for people who actually use their phone (sync on) what's more important is how much battery gets used in standby with the phone features on as designed.
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
First of all, I have no need of a smart phone when it is in my pocket. I see no benefit to having it constantly checking my mail or anything else when I am not looking at it. I have no desire for it to beep or vibrate whenever I get a new Email.... or anything else for that matter except SMS and phone calls. If I want to see if I have new Email or check the weather, I turn it on and take a look. My ideal device is a smartphone when I am looking at it and a dumb phone in my pocket. Call me crazy, but that is how I see it. Today's Android phones let me do that.

Second, it seems to me that the only battery consumption parameter that can even remotely be compared to another user's phone is quiescent standby battery drain. Add anything else to the mix, and things get too complicated comparing one phone to another. So I concentrate on quiescent standby drain when I compare one phone or OS to another. To me, quiescent means on WiFi, with a strong cell signal, Bluetooth on but not connected, and nothing syncing in the background. A secondary scenario is the same but NOT on WiFi. In that respect, I find Android 7 to be quite acceptable and consistent, with a standby drain of around 0.5%/hour on my N5X.... give or take. Slightly higher when not on WiFi and/or with weaker cell signal. This is slightly better than Android 6, probably because Doze is more aggressive?

7.0 First discharge

Unplugged my device during the "Android is Optimizing" process to avoid heating the battery too much so I did not expect to get any decent battery life on this cycle. Ended up playing around with it a lot, so there's less idle time than usual. I'm really happy with all the new DPI settings BTW and currently trying "Small" which shows as 485 dp in Dev. options.

Stock 7.0 OTA (Sept. security aka NRD90R), no root. Manual brightness averaged around 30%-40% . Locations and BT are disabled here and can be compared to the somewhat similar 6.0.1 M August OTA statistics I posted last.

Settings carried over from my M install such as anything relating to sending usage statistics to Google being disabled. Otherwise Google features are enabled and working including Google Now, On Tap, OK Google, Ambient Display, Auto syncs, Backups, etc.

Biggest differences I've noticed so far is Android System showing about 3x as much computed power drain, but we'll see if that changes after a few cycles and less used apps become set to "Inactive". The entry for Phone Idle doesn't register as high of a drain but that could just be usage related. So far idle time and Dozing seems to work much better on N but we'll see if that holds up over time and doesn't degrade as it seemed to do with M over the months.
[Nexus 5X General] Oni_Shadow:
Since I updated to n, the battery life is worse. The dose feature doesn't arms

Seems to work anymore... I lost 18% during the night elf it was something like 5 percent before!

Am I the only one? I am running 7 stock that updated itself from m with ota updates
[Nexus 5X General] chereko:
Oddly enough, my battery life was fine after doing the OTA upgrade to N...and then I decided to do a factory reset a few days ago.

Since doing the factory reset, battery life has been ****. Today I've lost 30% charge in 6 hours with 33 mins SOT (highest drain is from Android System and Android OS). And I don't have many apps installed on this phone. So yeah, I'm so glad I decided to do a factory reset =\

Also encountered a couple other random issues after wiping. First, when I added a second Google account (work email) the phone literally locked up and became unresponsive for about 10 seconds. No idea what was going on but I've never seen that before.

Second issue was that I got a message about the fingerprint reader's hardware not being available once when I tried unlocking the phone. Re-locking it fixed the problem, but I'd never seen that in Marshmallow.

I'm now considering downloading and flashing the factory image, but given the responses here I'm not even sure that I should waste my time. Argh!
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
Too early to post details, but I've been on my OTA'd N ( NRD90R) for 19 hr. and am at 60%, after moderate usage. Quite good - for me.

Anecdote: Before, on M, certain apps went a bit bonkers cpu-wise, ie, Twitter, which now seems to have been tamed. Before, I couldn't use it - had to use an alternate app (Fenix)

Totally stock, (locked bootloader), WIFI set to off during sleep, BT on until about 2 hr ago. That's it.

Promising!
[Nexus 5X General] badassballer:
I've been on the OTA'd N for a few days now. Have factory reset my phone three times now. All for battery. Completely stock. Android system and Android OS appear to be the biggest drainers. This is why factory reset my phone thrice to try and see if it might help fix anything. Hoping a few more charge cycles or some future updates fix this. Don't have any other issues with the phone. Everything else is smooth and fast. My usage includes social media and some intermittent playing of boom beach. Not much else. Standby drain is around one percent. The maximum SOT I've managed is around three and a half hours. But this was once. Most other times, manage between two and a half to a little under three hours. Got my nexus 5X a couple of weeks ago. Was worried initially about the battery life but saw a lot of other users post their experiences with far worse battery timings so for now, am guessing my battery timings are somewhere around average.
[Nexus 5X General] agrisvv:
Factory reseted N. Setup without Google account and without appps. Connect to wifi and get battery drain wit screen off.

Now go back to M with Google acount on + wifi on + no apps. Leave on Night

Then N will be redy for this, please share image
[Nexus 5X General] ibilln:
Ok, got to re-charge now, but not too shabby. 1 day, 4h, moderate usage, now at 31%. Only 1 hr, 40 min SOT though. Still, much better than on M.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
I'm so pissed about the Android 7.0 update on my Nexus 5X.

So a little backstory, I bought the Nexus 5 when it first came out. It was running KitKat. Everything was fine until I got the Lollipop update. After that my work wifi (and to a much lesser extent my home wifi) would keep the phone from sleeping. When I updated my Nexus 5 to Marshmallow the problem was still there.

Then I bought a Nexus 5X which had Marshmallow out of the box and no wifi battery drain issue.

Two days ago I got the Nougat OTA update on my Nexus 5X. The wifi battery drain I was getting on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop and Marshmallow is BACK now on my Nexus 5X. It doesn't seem to happen on my home wifi. Just at work. Also, it doesn't stay awake 100% of the time at work like the Nexus 5 did but it wakes up a LOT. Turning wifi off resolves the issue.

If you look at the attachment you can see where I highlighted the wifi off area. During the entire time the wifi was off the phone only woke up twice and both times was when the screen was on.

I charged to 100% before I went to bed last night and left it off charge all night. You can see that it woke up a few times during the night but mostly stayed asleep. The first sign of the screen being on was when I woke up and checked my phone in the morning. The first small gap in wifi was driving to work. All the time after that I was at work with the wifi on except the short time I turned it off to test.

At first I was wondering if it was some 3rd party app but the only things keep the phone awake for Android system stuff:

Android OS: 3 hours 44 minutes

Android System: 4 minutes 11 seconds

Google Services: 3 minutes 7 seconds

Google App: 2 minutes 58 seconds

System UI: 3 minutes 46 seconds

The only real apps that registered at all were Facebook and Chrome and combined they only kept the phone awake for 18 seconds.

Does anyone have this same issue? Why is Android OS keeping the phone awake so much just because wifi is on?

I was so damn happy when I got my Nexus 5X and didn't have to see this issue anymore and now it's back and all I did was update to Android 7.0.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

As a side note I also noticed last night at home where I had the screen on but it didn't even register as being awake at all.

Looks like Android 7.0 has some bugs.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Nice write up. Check out Racer kernel. It's based on Google and has Yanks hotplug which is bad A!! It's already configured and the dev is super cool ams helpful and always there to answer whatever questions anyone has. It's become my new favorite kernel and battery is great. I'm using UberStock with Racer and no complaints. :cowboy:
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
Thanks, I'll have a look at the Racer kernel. I haven't been searching around lately for ways to extend battery life because Android 6 and now 7 and my N5 and now N5X have met my long time goal of equaling the one week standby that I used to get on my old dumb phones. But I haven't paid much attention to kernels and screen on run time, so maybe it is time.

[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
Does anyone noticed randomly days, when phone has big battery drain and few next days is everything OK?

Today, 1,5 SoT...

Yesterday 3,5 SoT, no screenshots unfortunately.

P.S in your feel, what is the best N compilation? (Rom + Kernel)
[Nexus 5X General] klaymaniaf:
I tried latest (14.09.2016) cyanogenmod 13 Stock and WOW. Haven't used cyanogen from March.

Best battery - performance ratio. Sound is very good now. No bugs so far.

I am very impressed and I have to say that is over Nougat.

SOT at 50% brightnes is 3.5-4 hours. SOT with autobrighness set at 25% easely over 5.5-6 hours. Best battery until now and I.ve tried every possible kernel Rom combination.
[Nexus 5X General] wazka2:
My girlfriend's 5x is doing the same. Its very annoying, we went to bed last night at midnight and there was 38% battery left, closed all the apps and woke up at 8am to 2% of battery!!! There was days that her alarm clock to did not work because phone went dead. My 6p has never done that!

Any suggestions?

Some badly-coded app is keeping the system awake.

Any idea if the ambient display messes with Doze on Nougat?
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Overall, after some time on Nougat I have to say, that battery life is pretty bad. I mean, seriously. It's not 30min difference. On MM I used to have 4-5h SOT on WiFi, on N I get 3h with normal use. It seems that the problem in my case is standby time with wifi on. Has anyone noticed such problem?

Me and some mates up

Android System is still showing a lot of computed drain but overall battery life is an improvement over Android 6 IMO. Perhaps things are just being calculated differently now? "Media Server" is no longer an entry in the list and could be associated with Android System now instead.

BTW I'm not using battery saving or doze inducing apps and for the most part Doze seems to be working as intended.
[Nexus 5X General] perrocaliente:
what about if you have location on? I bet your screen on time is halved
[Nexus 5X General] rmead01:
How is google now working for weather and whatnot if your location is turned off?
[Nexus 5X General] Ken.Adams:
I get 4.5 hrs SoT with Nougat, Franco Kernel
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
If it's like M it should add background drain but battery life would be similar all together on a wifi connection, and noticably worse on a data connection depending on signal strength. I will try at some point though.

For many location requesting apps such as Weather you can set your city of choice manually. There's also a way to add a Weather shortcut to the home screen which I find useful.

The Now cards that require Locations are traffic updates and local places and pictures. I do find the traffic updates useful but since that card is not always available it can't really be relied upon.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
You mean with Google now? How can I set a shortcut to the weather in my city?

Thanks

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5X mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
When you search "weather" with Google, along with the weather info, you'll randomly get an option to have a shortcut for that location. Don't know how to force it though.
[Nexus 5X General] lee82gx:
I face the exact same issue at work. Idle drain at consistently 3.3-3.4% per hour with wifi ON at work. With LTE I get a bit less drain at about 2.4-2.6% / hr, as at work I walk around a lot with my phone in my pocket with pretty jammed 900Mhz spectrums ( I work at a Telecommunications related RnD facility with quite a bit of RF activities), where I suspect radio drain is the cause. However there is very little wake up with WIFI OFF.

I'm being forced to choose a poor drain to save data or slightly better idle drain but plenty of drain during wake with LTE radio getting hot.

At home or elsewhere its kind of fine, 1.x % / hr is possible.
[Nexus 5X General] ione2380:
Brand new 5x, updated it to 7.0 after taking it out of the box and this is its first charge.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
You are lucky.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
So lucky, I can't understand why so much difference...

45min sot = 25% screen. That gives less than 3h sot...

[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
I can understand that, phone uses more energy when a signal is poor, but not so much.

Lte /h+ all time

I haven't received any helpful tip yet. I know messenger could use a little % of battery, that's normal, but on M battery just was much much better, currently I would have ~75-80%
[Nexus 5X General] Stevica Smederevac:
According to second picture, most of the time signal is disastrous. To see how much it can drain,try to change to 2g. I know it's not a solution but just to test.

Signal is killing your battery, nothing else (at least i think so until you post detailed battery statistics)
[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
I haven't charged battery yet, so I'll post current pics. With using 10%/30min use so...

Today i just had such a bad signal, normally i have almost green, and about 1h SoT more

OK that's all.

P. S how to do something like "click to show contect"? This pics take so much place
[Nexus 5X General] Stevica Smederevac:
Don't know about that but as far as battery goes, as expected Facebook, Messenger are the top draining app. Tell me you have Instagram, WhatsApp, Viber and there is no help unless you keep them hibernated.
[Nexus 5X General] Domin_PL:
I don't have Ig, viber, Google now and other things like this.

On M i had autohibernating everything except messenger, and wasn't such a big drain like here.

Messenger has about 240 mAh computed power use and fb about 40 mAh so that's not so lots of comparing to lost energy
[Nexus 5X General] justandroiduser:
I recently got myself a brand new Nexus 5x, I've updated to nougat immediately. My battery life/SOT was awful. Luckily I found the culprit . You have to FACTORY RESET your device in each iteration, I somehow forgetting this golden rule recommended by many. For those who are getting bad battery life by having huge system android/andoid os drain. I urge you to do the same. By no means I'm an expert on this matter, just sharing my experience. peace out. hehe.
[Nexus 5X General] t1nk:
This is the first time doze as worked like this for me

Normally it would of dropped by maybe like 6%
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I usually lose 4-5% over 7 hours of sleep but doesn't matter that much cause 15 minutes of use after waking up drops it the same amount. LOL
[Nexus 5X General] perrocaliente:
Yea but with what settings and features disabled
[Nexus 5X General] :
My battery used to drain more than 10-15% overnight after September' update. But 2 days back i changed my Wifi setting to 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to 'Never' and now i am loosing just 1-2% overnight. This wasn't the case with Marshmallow. I could keep Wifi/Data on overnight and loose just 1-2%.

Anyways, i would leave this setting like that until an update is pushed. Hope they fix it soon.
