I've had the Nexus 5X for about 2 days now. The phone is significantly faster and with a lot less lag compared to the S6. IMO the camera is not as good as the S6, and is a little slow (usually when HDR is on). The battery life I have experienced so far is identical to the S6, which is average. I'll probably get 10-12 hours a day with light to moderate usage (4 hours SoT). Doze feature didn't do great the first night, I slept at 1am with 100% battery, woke up at 8am with 92%, same usage as the S6. But overall experience, I prefer the Nexus.
[Nexus 5X General] PlatinumNick:
You might want to control your chrome because that's too high
[Nexus 5X General] jpen:
I haven't picked up the phone yet, but quick question before i do. People with good battery life on the second charge or just in general, are you turning it on straight out of box and letting it completely die and then fully charging it again?

I have the Verizion Moto X 2014 and i wasn't cautious with charging and what not, so it dies by noon everyday. I want to make sure I take care of this battery and do it right. Any advice would be great.
[Nexus 5X General] szucsgf:
No need to do a complete drain and full charge cycle on modern batteries. That's a relic from old times. Actually it's best not to let the battery drain completely.
[Nexus 5X General] duckxtales:
you just need to desolder off the 5x battery ic board onto the G2 battery positive/negative tabs. you need to be careful not to bend the metal tabs that much as they break off easily.

Got mine 5 days ago, what is typical SOT? I got 2h30min, and not quite happy about it. I'm on stock rom with BL unlocked.

[Nexus 5X General] robstunner:
Doesn't sound too difficult. Could you comment on battery endurance? Is it a noticeable difference? Maybe comment on screen on time?
[Nexus 5X General] perrocaliente:
Do you know of any guides or more detailed pictures.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
Depends on how you use it. If you stay on wifi with a really good cell signal, keep the brightness low and only do things like browsing then 4 hours SOT over an entire day is about normal. If you are on mobile data a lot, have high brightness, less than perfect cell reception, watch TV/movies, listen to music, play games, use GPS, etc then 2 hours 30 minutes is pretty normal.
[Nexus 5X General] oeusr:
Switched from Cataclysm + Franco Kernel to Pure Nexus and ElementalX. Having some great results! Current set up is Pure Nexus, ElementalX, soniCron's Ghostpepper interactive governor settings, greenify, and Naptime. Normally I'd be at 2-3 hours SOT around 50% so this is a big jump. I'd wait and show how much SOT I get overall when I get down to 1% but I charge every night. Noticed yesterday I was around 3 hours 10 minutes at 50% but having listened to 1.5 hours of music when at the gym/driving. So quite happy with these results!

Edit: forgot to include that location, google now, google on tap, google launcher are all on and used too. Didn't use android wear today but I saw that people were having battery drain on their phones using cloud sync. I'll have to turn that off and see when I use my moto 360 if I notice any additional drain
[Nexus 5X General] pezza10:
Had the phone for a bit more than two weeks now and I have to say I'm not hugely impressed with the battery life but it is still much better than some of you guys are getting. Today I was on mobile data and WiFi each for a good amount of time, had the brightness on 25 to 50 percent and had what I'd call a medium use day with some light gaming, music and social media. I managed to get just under 4 hours of SOT. Not a terrible effort but not as good as what I am used to from my Z3 Compact.
[Nexus 5X General] perrocaliente:
what do you greenify, and what are your naptime settings? Is that wifi or LTE?
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
Damn, camera use, GPS use, location, Google Now and over 3 hours SOT at 50%? How is that even possible on a 2,700mAh battery? I might have to risk my warranty and insurance for that kind of battery life.

Do you lose any functionality at all with your set up? Do things like Greenify and Naptime delay notifications?
[Nexus 5X General] oeusr:
I never thought I could get these results. Best I could get before was around 5-6 hours overall. But when I switched roms and kernel that allowed me to get insane battery life!

I get texts and calls immediately. Emails might be a little delayed, but they come in immediately once I move my phone. I've seen people complain about missing notifications but it's never been an issue for me

I greenify most of the apps I use except textra and gmail. And most of that was on WiFi.

Oh and nap time all I've changed is enabling aggressive doze
[Nexus 5X General] ViRb3:
If I was ever able to get past the 3 hour mark for a full 100% - 0% I would have been on heaven.
[Nexus 5X General] oeusr:
I've been in your position before! Thought others just had lucky devices or apps that don't do anything haha. But it's possible! Just have to look at your usage and wakelocks. And kernel makes a huge difference
[Nexus 5X General] ViRb3:
Chroma ROM with Elemental-X and the same governor config as you. Just did a full hard reset because I was so desperate. I am giving this new setup a try now and I so much hope it works. Have you tried both Pure Nexus and Chroma to be able to tell if one is smoother or battery friendlier than the other? Last time I checked Pure Nexus was considerably laggier than Chroma for no apparent reason.
[Nexus 5X General] oeusr:
No I've only tried cataclysm and now pure nexus. I've run chroma on my nexus 7. I've seen others say it lags but I haven't had any issues. I feel like they're very similar and you can't go wrong with either.

Back to you, when you do a hard reset did you do a device restore when you set it up? I've read about that giving performance and battery issues. I skipped it when I switched roms and that's when I noticed a huge jump in battery life
[Nexus 5X General] perceptualdoor:
I'm losing 3% battery per hour without even touching the phone...I unplugged this morning at 6, put the phone in my pocket, and am just now using it for the first time today at 711 and I'm at 97%...seems like this sort of standby drain shouldnt be happening...
[Nexus 5X General] perceptualdoor:
Same deal, put my phone in my pocket for another hr, lost 3%...
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Sounds fine if you have push notifications on and on a mobile network. Only time you'll really see 1%/hour or less draining is if you leave your phone on a desk and it gets to doze.
[Nexus 5X General] perceptualdoor:
Gotcha, I knew it wasn't a major drain or anything, just more than I was used to with the iPhone 6.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
So as far as I can tell it looks like the Facebook/Messenger battery drain has been resolved. Took my phone off the charger when I went to bed at 2AM. I woke up this morning at 9 at 97%. It's now almost noon and I'm at 30 minutes SOT at 86% with Facebook having kept the phone awake for 59 seconds and Messenger having kept the phone awake for 10 seconds.

Still only getting about 2.75 minutes of SOT per 1% of battery so still not good but at least back to "normal".
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
I have pure nexus and elemental. I modified the kernel from elemental to interactive following the values for ghostpepper 1.1, since you are using that as well, was there really any point for flashing the elemental kernel if you're gonna use a totally different governor anyway (interactive)? I'm just trying to understand all of this. I'm still fairly new to it all, sorry for the stupidity!!
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
Elx kernel has the touchboost option as compared to eg Franco r5. Different optimizations code exists under the hood too. Anyway, the elementalx governor is not fully optimized yet as stated by the dev himself.
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
So, would you say Franco is better for battery life over the ghostpepper interactive custom settings?
[Nexus 5X General] queerquirks:
Different Kernels perform differently. Even the profiles differences such as ghostpepper and butterfly 1.1 are obvious in terms of smoothness and negated battery life.

For me, Franco r5 is very smooth, due to a lower touchboost but battery life isn't as good compared to butterfly 1.1. No hard numbers to show but based on my personal usage.
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
Ah I see. Makes sense. I'll look into butterfly assuming it's like ghostpepper and compare battery life I guess. Thanks man :)
[Nexus 5X General] oeusr:
No stupidity in asking! Elemental allows you to turn off touch boost (stock does not). Most of the kernels are similar though so you can run these governor settings with any of them. Matter of preference
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
Ah sounds good, thank you so much man :)
[Nexus 5X General] smoki3:
So i am on pure nexus with elementx kernel and ghostwiper settings. I am the hole day in mobile data. The phone is the most time in my pocket at work. Only for the break there I use it for some Facebook and chrome browsing. I am not happy with this result. Without touching the phone it loose up to 50% by 1 hour sot. No google now. No Bluetooth on. Touchboost disabled. Greenifiy Facebook and so on

I really miss being able to use apps like BetterBatteryStats and Wake Lock Detector. Really wish Google wouldn't have changed the APIs to require root to get those stats.
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
Google Services is killing my battery :( It is keeping mobile radio active. I'm also getting PowerManagerService.Wakelocks under Kernel Wakelocks in BBS.
[Nexus 5X General] smoki3:
PowerManagerService.Wakelocks it a placeholder for the all partial wakeloks. So this normal.

The radio active bug is a known bug on lollipop and marshmallow. Use greenify to kill the apps in standby

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
I was under the impression that task managers or battery saver apps like Greenify did more harm than good, so I always stayed away from them. Guess I cant avoid Greenify this time around.
[Nexus 5X General] smoki3:
After two weeks with my 5x i finalay get good battery.

Now i am on cm13 with elemtalx kernel an GP setting. The funny thing: without greenify i get better battery life. The important thing is to turn of the inaktivity display. It always turn on the sensors an this need a lot of battery. Now iam on the 50% of battery on the second day. Already have almost 2 hours sot.

[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
I don't understand how Greenify causes issues with battery life when it just forces your apps to hibernate??
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
It runs 24/7 as a background service and Greenifying certain things can sometimes cause issues, such as when using it to suppress system processes.
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
I've never seen any drain from Greenify running as a background service, and isn't that an end-user issue? How can you expect to greenify system processes and not run into issues. I only greenify the apps I do not want real-time push notifications from, and never have run into any issues.
[Nexus 5X General] tacofromhell:
I have a wakelock called fpc_ttw_wl that keeps my phone from entering deep sleep. How can I get rid of this? Anyone, any ideas?
[Nexus 5X General] smoki3:
Yes because the drain doesnt come from greenify directly. Greenify force close the app when you turn off your screen. The app starts again in the baground and greenify close it again. So it ends for some apps in a loop I think.

I find Doze seems to be working more consistently since the February security OTA. This was 25% brightness with Google features enabled. Stock device, no root.
[Nexus 5X General] tacofromhell:
I'm having kernel wakelocks from fpc_ttw_wl. Some days it's about 1-2 hours (very high) and some days it's just for a few seconds. I'm using EX 1.06.

Does anyone have any idea how I can reduce this?
[Nexus 5X General] ulxerker:
try using Amplify (pro package), its an Xposed framework module to control wakelocks and alarms.
[Nexus 5X General] tacofromhell:
I have tried using Xposed but I felt that my phone lagged a lot when it was installed. I would like to find the cause for these wakelocks and not just block them. But thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 5X General] maderke:
i have that fpc_ttw_wl wakelock too. (i use greenify with aggresive doze. related?)

any solution? beside amplify
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
Has anyone ever seen anything like my screenshot?

The phone was awake a lot between 11am and 2pm which seems to be from Android OS keeping the phone awake for 5 hours and 37 minutes. However, that isn't even the strangest part. The strange part is that after the crazy period of being awake it doesn't show the phone being awake at all even when there were expended periods where the screen was on. I often see times where the phone is awake when the screen is off but I've never seen the screen one while the phone was asleep.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
I've only noticed the missing bars once or twice but it resolves itself after the next charge. Probably just a visual glitch with the graph similar to WiFi not always showing as on/off properly.

Those awake times are not normal though.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
That's interesting. It's the first time I've seen the awake graph do that. I don't remember what I did to resolve it. I either charged it or just restarted it.

As for the wake times you see, yeah, that isn't normal for me. However I do see a lot more awake times than I'd like and they are always from "Android OS" or "Android System".
[Nexus 5X General] ONeVmaniac:
Guys, I usually get about 4h sot without any wakelocks, but lately I'm getting huge drain from *alarm* wakelocks. Last time I checked it was chromium thingy. Although after I uninstalled it-google play store took the lead. Any thoughts ?
[Nexus 5X General] xJakexms:
Hey, so i'm new to android and rooting. I was wondering if i were to get the best out of my 5x battery life when rooted, what should I do to get a day of SoT out of it?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
You want 24 hours of SOT on one charge?
[Nexus 5X General] xJakexms:
oops, more specially about 5-6 hours of SoT
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
With how much total battery? Cause I feel like that's a lot to ask for if you want something like this 16 hours total battery time. I could probably get 5 hours SOT if use for 5 hours straight.
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3269557

Have a look at this thread. I've used my device for a month, unrooted and fully stock. I managed to get around 4h SOT over 24h. After rooting my device, flashing a custom rom and following this guide (plus installing Greenify with 'agressive doze') I manage to get approximately 5+h SOT over the same 24h. It's great.
[Nexus 5X General] xJakexms:
What rom and kernal are you using?
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
I use the Pure Nexus rom (really liked it on my Nexus 5, and still do on my 5X now), with Elementalx kernel. I use the 'Ghostpepper' profile (see the thread), but I'm sure the other profiles are good as well.
[Nexus 5X General] lalibm:
I need a little bit of help. My Nexus 5x has this weird condition where the battery drops 2% at the same time. I know this sounds awkward but I'll try to explain. I took the phone off charger and started using it from 100%. After 10 mins the battery percentage would drop from 100% to 98% and so on from 98% to 96% after a given period of usage. Is my unit faulty or is this normal behaviour ? The battery life is fine and I usually get 4 - 4.5 hours of SOT but this weird issue has got me worried.

Try eclipse v2 made by [MENTION=5323968]xSilas43[/MENTION]. Link to the file in his signature or the thread.

I have this, or had this. Don't really notice it as much because I'm not looking at my battery percentage all day now (but I used to!) It's normal though. Please do not be worried about it. A lot of users have reported it, and depending on your setup there could be a number of potential reasons as to why it's happening. For me, I suspect it's that due to greenify + doze I get a lot of processes entering a very deep sleep mode, the battery percentage indicator being one of them, and by the time it exits the sleep mode whilst using the device, it realizes the battery dropped by 2% instead of 1% which is normal because it happens after like 10+min SOT where I notice the normal 1% drain happens after 3-4 mins. Hope that makes sense.
[Nexus 5X General] Donnie Sins:
Why should I do that? I'm quite happy with the Ghostpepper profile.. Is it better?
[Nexus 5X General] herBosaurus:
You should give it a try. Ghostpepper is not being updated/supported anymore, and eclipse v2 seems to be pretty good.
[Nexus 5X General] kicksilver:
People on N preview, could you review the revamped Doze that is supposed to work even while not stationary?
[Nexus 5X General] mcantu:
I've had an issue for the last month where Android OS is keeping the phone awake almost 100% of the time and doze never has a chance to activate. Cleared system cache and ran in safe mode put the issue persists. Seems to be a common problem showing up in various forums. Battery life is getting killed because of it...
[Nexus 5X General] blackangel10:
ive read that ppl can do 4-5 or more hours of sot with pure nexus and elemental x... but ive got this ones too (latest update of both) and i always do around 3-3.5hours... how can it be possible??

i didt around 4.5hourse just for a couple of days about three weeks ago with the previuos version but one day without doing anything my battery its becoming very bad!!

See my post on the previous page;) The link to the thread will send you to battery life heaven.

While it may well be the placebo effect, has anyone else noticed better battery life on MHC19J? I'll try and quantify it with a few end of day screen shots if I can.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I agree. I don't have any clear evidence but I feel like it's lasting longer and not draining as quick with use.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Glad to see you're enjoying a solid experience with the phone now! I flashed stock MHC19J (decrypted of course) last week and it seems to manage ram better. That improvement alone is great to me.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
A little off the battery topic but ditto here. It's much smoother and any lag I've experienced since the update is hardly anything compared to before.

My best SOT ever 50% of the usege is on LTE only.
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Hello all. Here are my battery stats. The base is mhc19j , ROM is PureNexus , kernel is ElementalX. No overclocking.

Usage began on monday morning 7:20 AM @ 99%. After exactly 36 hours (7:30 PM Tuesday) battery was at 4%. Used either Wifi or 3G all

the time. Phone was in Flight mode + Wifi for about 5 hours at night. Mostly good mobile signal. Moderate usage.

No gaming. Only web browsing and messaging. Not a lot of calls and camera use. Check the pictures attached.

Also can any tell me what is telegram doing ? Why is it saying mobile radio active ?

PS :: The gap in graph is when I went to recovery to backup the rom. Lost 3 % there.

Is it good battery life ? I do not know what to think :laugh:
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
It's a type of wakelock where an app keeps the mobile radio in usage. You can force close the app if you notice it happening or reboot the device. Your battery run time was still quite good considering.
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Thanks. But telegram is instant messaging app, like whatsapp. Restricting it or force closing it will affect notifications right ?

Anyway thanks for pointing me to wakelocks. That is something i will keep my eyes on for now. Cheers. :good:
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
MHC19J has definitely helped for me. I got 3 hours SOT with nearly 14 hours (1 hour was Bluetooth audio screen off during a workout) of total on battery. I definitely couldn't get this with previous builds. It would be more like 2 hours SOT with 14 hours total or 3 hours SOT with 12 hours total if I was lucky.
[Nexus 5X General] sasank360:
Was the phone on LTE at any time ? From my experience, we can easily get 4-4:30 min SOT with moderate to heavy use in a single day (15 hours).

Look at my stats a couple of posts earlier. I got nearly 4 hr SOT over 36 hours. Wifi + 3g.

Maybe there are wakelocks or something that is keeping your device awake. Does bluetooth drain heavily if we are using android wear device ?
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
While at work for 8 hours or so, it's actually on airplane mode with WiFi on so no mobile data being used there. During my 25 minute drive home it's kind of negligible as I watch YouTube connected to my car charge so I only gain 5% or so. Then while I'm home it's all WiFi.

I've seen your post and while it's very impressive I'm not trying to get 24+ hours of total time nor am I expecting it. I could probably get another 7 hours if I started 100% before I slept and relied on doze but I feel like that doesn't count to start off that way. I'm actually satisfied with what I got today especially compared to before. Normally, when I get home, I would just plug for a quick top off while I shower and get ready. Today I didn't to that just to see how long I could go to get to 5%.

I'm pretty sure Android Wear can give you a little extra drain. It does with my Pebble but depends on how many notifications I'm getting. Sometimes I snooze some text groups when they get a little too chatting. However, my experience was pre MHC19J update.

And here's a closer look at the battery graph.

Yeah there's some wakelocks but I'm over trying to hunt for those. Could just be my Google Fit running in the background.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Stock device, 40% brightness with a mix of WiFi and mobile data. I do nothing special done to save battery life, ie. no root access or disabling Google features.

I'm still waiting for the March OTA so this is just with the Feb security update.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Do you leave your phone on a table or desk at work or something? Cause that doze is on what nearly looks like the whole time from the 9am to 5pm area.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
That particular period between roughly 6AM and 1PM I was sleeping with the device resting on a nightstand near my bed. My 12 hour shifts 3 times a week make it so my schedule can be a bit wonky.

Sometimes I lose considerably less charge over small periods of Doze but I have no idea why. I will see an almost perfectly flat bar for about 2-5 hour stretches on certain occasions. However over 6+ hours of sleep either notifications coming in (possibly Ambient Display or Pulse LED related, I am using DND though) or maybe from me shifting in my sleep and causing my night stand to move (it's on a fairly wobbly single leg) something always seems to interfere with Doze after about 5 hours or so.

It's not very obvious in this example though.

P.S. Just got my March OTA notification so I'll test out any battery differences in the coming days.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Ah that's why most of your usage was before and after that time frame.
