[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] perrocaliente:
Only charges if screen is off. If you're doing ANYTHING at all charging basically stops, about 2 percent an hour.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
The factor that can slow down the charge is heat. If you're trying to use the device while it's rapid charging and are causing the battery to over heat the device will slow down the charge. Faster charging generates more heat so manufacturers are more cautious compared to devices with normal charging speeds.

It might seem inconvenient but it's protecting your battery from degradation and an early death.

Charge speed will not be significantly slowed while you use the device if it's not in danger of over heating.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] perrocaliente:
Good theory but no. That doesn't explain why before (with the nexus 5 and even 4) we could charge faster while using it and with a lower amp charger than we can now. Also it charges slow no matter how hot or cold the phone is if the screen is on. Your theory doesn't check out. This is a change Google made and not a good one.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] nickhell:
Amen.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
My Nexus 5x charges faster with the screen on than my Nexus 5 does with the screen off.

The only time I see charge slow significantly is when the battery temperature creeps up.

The Nexus 5 tops off at about 1200mA with the stock charger. Current widget shows my 5x getting over 2000mA even when the screen is on, though there is some weird interactions with the 5x not updating its charge speed in real time so it's nearly impossible to track charge speeds on the 5x reliably using software like CurrentWidget or Ampere.

On the 5 I could plot a graph with charge speeds but on the 5x it barely updates. I'm not sure why that is but I see that with the screen on or off.

Using 2.1A charger

Is it OK to use 2.1A charger with my nexus 5x? Or do I have to buy another genuine lg charger?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] perrocaliente:
You can use that one just fine. I have and the phone still charges pretty fast (screen off of course)

Maybe you got a crappy 5 and a good 5x because that has NEVER been the case for as long as I've owned either/both phone. Also charging rate is a neat stat but somewhat irrelevant in my opinion. If in the real world my 5 can gain 20 percent charge in the same amount of time that my 5x gains 5 percent AND the 5x (supposedly) has the "superior" usb type-c, a higher amp rating charger, and "faster" charging, then there's something wrong.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
How could my N5 possibly be crappy? 1.2A is the maximum supplied charge with the stock charger, if it's crappy that's how it was intended lol.

The 5x can charge up to 3000mA and the N5 can only charge up to 1200mA with their stock chargers. You're not trying to debate that are you?

Would you like me to post screenshots of Current Widget showing over 2000mA incoming charge?

BTW the 5x full charges from 0% to 100% in less than 1.5 hours with the stock charger and the N5 takes 2.5 hours. However the 5x can charge 50% in just about 30 minutes where as the N5 has no such quick charging feature, though it can be used with chargers up to 1.5A to slightly speed up the process.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Fragnatic_89:
0 to 100% in roughly 1.5hours (phone on but doing nothing)

after 30min ~ 50%

after 1 hr ~ 80-85%

:good:
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] queerquirks:
I just tested it as I felt my charging speed was a bit on the slow side.

Took 1h45mins from 10% > 100%. Add 15mins for the 10% to charge and it will be around 2hrs. I was not using my phone during the charging downtime, just checks at 30mins interval.

Seeing everyone is talking about the 1h30mins makes me feel sad for my charger, how do google respond to such cases, if any?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] DBase2:
Charging is OK! :)
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] rochrunner:
Thought I'd miss my N5's wireless charging, but the rapid charging of the 5x is so much better, plus the convenience of not having to peer at the end of the cable each time to know which way to insert it! I can practically do it in the dark.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] ks211996:
I totally disagree
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Kroniq:
Fwiw I can use my 5x no problem while its charging (no lag), and it goes up about the same as an old micro USB charger. Definitely not rapid charging but its still going up
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] JennyJordan64:
Good 1
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] clsDroid:
I just picked up a Nexus 5x last week. After playing with the phone a bit, setting up systemless root and installing some apps, I drained the battery down to 4%. I was a bit dismayed to see that it took ~2 hrs to reach the initial 100% charge but I chalked it up to TitaniumBackup doing a backup in the background as well as all of the standard notifications & app auto-updates.

Fast forward one week. I tweaked my setup to disable app auto-updates, almost all notifications and setup DroidWall to avoid unnecessary network access from certain apps. I ran the phone until it shutdown and then put it on the charger for about a minute or so. I then turned the phone on so that I could see the battery percentage. Wifi was on but cellular data was not. After 30m, it went from 2% to 49% charge. I forgot to check at 60m but at 90m, it was at 98% charge. It took another 9m to get that last 2% but that may have been due to me turning on the screen every minute or so to see if it was done.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Rozalina340:
From 10% to 100% it takes an hour , it's really fast!!!!! :D
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] clsDroid:
Just for clarification (because I noticed that I only see your signature when I'm logged in), you're seeing an hour charging time when running Cyanogenmod, not the stock rom, correct?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Rozalina340:
I only installed cyanogen yesterday , and it takes the same amount of time to charge it :) The ROM you are running doesn't affect the charging time , maybe just a few minutes , I don't know

EDIT : I forgot to mention but every time I charge my phone I enable Airplane mode , so maybe that's why it takes only one hour to charge
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] clsDroid:
I drained the battery until the phone shut off and tried recharging it in airplane mode. After an hour, it was only at 79%. It took another 40m to get back to 100%. :(
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] nrgmalik:
Superb Charging Speed!!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] TheIronLefty:
27% to 100% took 38Minutes with included charger, really impressed.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Feelnside:
In overall one hour and Nexus 5x completly charged. It's very good in use.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] LanguageSoez:
Thaks for your post, but remember that in every phone, the last ~10% takes more time than the other ~90%

;)
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Billys20:
1hr and a half is enough to fully charge your phone!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] movielover76:

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] RobAce98:

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] zukenp:
I have some samsung fast charger and cable usb c - usb a( regular one),i got that with 5x . Charging is good ,but does original charger doing better job,when we talking about speed and battery life ?Is smarter for me to buy original one?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Akopps:
The only issue with the charging is that this phone effectively stops charging with the screen on. Once you turn off the screen, then it charges pretty fast.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] rp158:
[MENTION=6344443]Akopps[/MENTION], can't confirm this: loads also with screen on, slower of course. I'm running SAOSP and Franco. On PureNexus battery% seemed not to be not actualized sometimes during charging.

Well as i remember, the SOT was always bad on Nexus devices, is it still that bad in this one?
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Typically 3-5 hours SoT over 1-2 days with this device.

http://imgur.com/a/xjSTe
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I usually get 3.5 hours(4 if I'm REALLY lucky) over maybe 12-14 hours off the charger.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] CubeCloudOS:
Excellent!
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Fragnatic_89:
About 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time under normal use.

less if I'm using it less and phone spent more time on standby / idling.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Davirus849:
Im just reposting it, so, some people don't judge only by SOT.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
You replied directly to me which would indicate that you're trying to let me know about that, as opposed to a general reply which would be directed at the thread. I'm well aware of the implications of screen time and its inaccuracy as a "be all end all" measurement for battery life.

I provided much more information than just SoT though. I indicated over 1-2 days and also provided detailed screenshots of one of my results. That's about as much battery information that I could possibly provide so I'm not sure what more you were hoping to find. Maybe some official stats from professionally tested battery reviews could be helpful as well. Please do let me know what else we can add here to provide a clearer picture of 5x battery life.

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] hopesrequiem:
And you're phone is hardly a smartphone.....Jesus. What DO you do with it.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Code124Y:
Honestly, you are on wrong thread... this is all about SOT, not battery life or how to mesuare battery life. talk about SOT are simply like

result 1:

while i just usage on my phone, just normal FB, social chat, hang out gps's apps without gaming(50% of my usage are under wifi zone), i manage to get 3.5H(3H 30M) sot in 1 cycle charge.

result 2:

i do play games like CoC and alpha 8(or some sort of heavy games?) and i just manage to get 2.5H SOT, data only(no use of wifi, note that under wifi condition will have lower battery drain in standby).

talking about SOT are just mainly giving idea to reader how this phone last in 1 cycle battery charge. because everyone are using their phone different way, but SOT can giving such similar result over user.

its not about battery life(there is another thread for battery life). But thanks for the info too...
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Evo_Shift:
I typically get about 3 hours of SoT. That doesn't include any video which allows you to rack up a ton of screen on time. I try to charge my phone when I go to bed at night but if I don't I can usually get through almost a second day with it. I am still super annoyed they didn't include wireless charging or an easy way to add it in this phone.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
That was my follow up post to a gentleman who wanted more detailed information. My initial post was purely SoT related:

Staying on topic: 5+ hours SoT over 24 hours using only 3g/H+ mobile data.

http://imgur.com/a/E6Icw
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Code124Y:
well, im suprise by it can stand/last for 5H sot on 3G/data...
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] bblzd:
Only with very strong signal. Otherwise it can be as low as 2 hours SoT with the same usage and weak signal such as in my work building.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] exninja:
Ugh. That's what I get with my Nexus 5. I was hoping this would be a good improvement. I also have a very weak signal at work. Like I work in a Faraday cage.

Excellent with doze.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Fragnatic_89:
I left the phone on (idle) when I go to sleep at night.

After 7-8 hours overnight, the battery dropped by about 4-5%

that's about 1% drain per 1.5-2 hours.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Oblox:
Mine was 4-5% overnight then I turned off background wifi scanning and its now 2-3%

[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] GuestK00141:
I don't understand why some are proud to lose 5% during night, before with set cpu, powernap and amplify and greenify my phone lose 0% during night...

I don't test these apps because I root it on Android 7 (Xposed is not available yet).

If someone could do a "tutorial" or tweaks to do that it would be awesome.

Here's a bunch of profiles for the 5x.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P1LXnJnUdz9cC_qpcwMpfParUBlaPbIhyLZHOWjknUE/htmlview

The easiest way is to use EX kernel manager to apply the profile. Download the profile you want, delete file extension and move the profile to ElementalX > gov profiles. Then select the profile in EX kernel manager.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Jeremy.Stewart85:
I finally had to use the nuclear option and switched to GPS-only location in order to "fix" my standby drain. No matter what I tried I could never get rid of the millions of network location provider wakelocks that drained my battery while it did absolutely nothing. I get a few nagging warnings here and there about turning it back on but the GPS lock never takes too long to kick in where it's really needed (Maps, weather, etc). For reference I'm on the stock OS and have EX kernel with glassfish1.2 running.

Before I did that my phone barely went into deep sleep ever, and averaged something around 2.5 - 3% idle drain / hour. I'm now getting much better around 1.5% / hour. Still not amazing but it doesn't piss me off every time I look at my battery status knowing how wasteful it is. I tried using naptime for awhile and it helped, but the light sensor was super flaky with that installed and having to maintain the battery optimizations for apps got to be a chore. I'm around a good wifi connection almost all day so it's hard to say why the NLPWakeLocks were blasting my phone. The compass sensor on this phone has always sucked, so one of my theories is that this phone constantly thinks its kind of floating around and therefore it needs to pin its actual location down all of the time.

The kernel, system, and play services are still the highest consumers of battery according to gsam but that's what I would expect with my usage patterns. I'm a super boring user and only really ever open email, messages, and phone for 80% of the day and that's fairly infrequently at that. I'd still like to figure out what the hell exactly those 3 services are doing but I've put in so much time already I had to give it a rest. Pretty disappointed I can't use this phone with everything enabled as it should be, but much happier that I don't have to worry about being near an outlet towards the end of a day where I've barely used it.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Ham3dt:
Android 7.1.2 root

ElementalX kernel

glassfish profile

greenify aggressive doze

with data and location off is 1% per 8 hours!

I don't have any proof/screen shot for that but several times watched my battery percentage before going to bed and wake up to the same percentage or 1% less.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] eddi0:
I'm losing about 10-20% overnight, how can I figure out what's causing the drain? I'm not rooted, on Android 8.0.0 Beta. GSAM doesn't work without root apparently.

Heavy usage scenario

Over 3 hours switching between gaming and streaming a live sporting event with Chrome, texting and emails in between. 40% brightness, no settings disabled, everything stock.

I'm impressed how games don't slow down to a crawl on this device even at its maximum throttled point, and the device stays quite cool as well. It has the perfect balance between performance, battery life and heat in these kinds of high load scenarios. In my experience this is a huge improvement over the N5 which was both hot and slow after 15-20 minutes of heavy usage.
[Nexus 5X Real Life Review] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
Depending on game you can have an average of 4.5 hours of non-stop gaming which is impressive for this kind of performance. My best is 5.5 sot playing wonder tactics (yes it was a lazy lazy day)
