I had this with every Android version. This one too.
[Nexus 5X General] alfick3:
I don't think that should be, though. My 5X shows my phone number. My previous phone (1st gen Moto G) also showed my number.
[Nexus 5X General] mosio:
I had this on Nexus 4 and now I have this on Nexus 5x. I believe that's carrier dependent. I live in Poland and maybe these carriers just don't provide all necessary info for this feature to work or the sim architecture/coding is a bit different.
[Nexus 5X General] alfick3:
That could very well be. I've had 6 different phones on MetroPCS (4 CDMA and two GSM) here in Texas and they've all had the phone number, so that's just what I'm used to.

Which is faster, Marshmallow or latest dev preview?
[Nexus 5X General] alfick3:
Personally, I don't really see a difference in every day use.
[Nexus 5X General] :
Weird. I used the OTA from Mm to N on preview 5 but usually just use the Windows batch file, flash-all.bat and I double click that after I copy all my stuff I wanna save to my laptop and let it do its thing. Maybe a factory reset will fix it...?

Try a factory reset via settings. If that does not work I'd format data in twrp. I guarantee that would do the trick just make sure you backup all your good stuff on your PC 1st as it will wipe your phone clean. :)

Still getting autorotation locking up after a few hours, fixed after a reboot. Sensors test fine. Super frustrating for using the camera or watching videos.

No MX player works on DP5!!!!!any ideas?
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:
I do actually... Apps faster, and animation rendering is much steadier at 60fps with the UI and such. They got rid of a lot of memory leaks from DP4 and battery is back to normal now.

Battery is slight better for me too.. Getting at lost 4 SOT over 18 hours total.. Want getting that on MM.
[Nexus 5X General] :
I'd say Nougat. There are many improvements in preview 5. It's waaaaayyyy better than ever before. If you haven't tried it yet I definitely recommend it. See for yourself. I'm using preview 5 unencrypted with Despairs Uber kernel and I'm in love.

I don't get this on my Bullhead. Rotate works fine when taking pics or watching vids. I've been onboard for 4 days now.

performance issue

deleted
[Nexus 5X General] vraciu4you:
Same for me...on dp4 i didnt had this problem...
[Nexus 5X General] adrialk:
My take on it... after running DP5 for 2 days.

Biggets item of note is that TWRP cannot decrypt my data partition when I am running the Android N Vendor.img (it just hangs). This makes flashing things difficult. It will decrypt just fine with an older Vendor.img.

Overall DP5 is stable and reliable with similar, maybe a little slower performance to Android 6 (Pure Nexus). Pandora crashes periodically, and Clue doesn't work. So far everything else is good.

Splitscreen is the biggest change over 6.0, and is keeping me from returning to Pure Nexus. The implementation is really good. In developer options you can enable it for all apps and for the most part, they deal with it well.

Nothing to report on battery life yet, seems similar.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
The only way battery life will improve is with a bigger battery.
[Nexus 5X General] xFuGiToiDx:
Anyone else having Google play services crashing every several minutes? I'm running full stock dp5 with unlock bootloader. I did a factory reset right after I got the OTA the same day it rolled out. I just noticed this started happening last night.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Nope all fine here. Reflash ota or possibly factory reset mihgt help.

Are you decrypted? I manage to flash .zip hosts file and ad blocking works, but AdAway fails to copy/create updated file.
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
Then how people get better battery life with custom kernels??? Your statement is flawed.
[Nexus 5X General] dml1851:
You know that's not true, it's not the "only" way (maybe the more effective one but not the only one)

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5X mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] Buddlespit:
I'm having a hard time believing that. The only way I can see battery life being better is if your custom kernel is turning off/not using cores, under clocking and/or putting the phone in deep-doze much faster than the stock kernel. Frequency is frequency... If the cores are running at 'y' Ghz, they will use 'x' mA of juice. Starve the cores of power when they need it, and the system will start underclocking. Governors can help with power usage, but then your system will act just like it's starved for power.

If you're leaning out your system that much to save power, might as well buy a flip-phone.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
It's negligible imo. Some of it may be due to the reboot, some due to different usage, and some just placebo. I'm sure you can get some better battery life, but my point was it will not be a life changing experience. Maybe another 15 minutes maybe another 30. And that's a definite maybe. But put in a battery the size of the 6P and you'll get another half day and more. That to me is better battery life.

Custom kernels are good for tweaking performance perhaps, maybe some feature sets not available in the stock version.. but. Well you get my point.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Looks like titanium backup is updated to work with dp5 now. No setenforce needed.

Can someone please check if Android Pay works today.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
what would you do with the extra battery though? imo 5x battery is more than enough. i get my day comfortable with mixed usage (calls, chat, browser, navigation, games) and it has not failed me yet. i would understand someone having problems with MM (it was borderline sufficient for me), but N the moment you lock it it drains nothing (around 1.5 per hour). mind you i use no fb app nor messenger and use its desktop site with push notifications, i set my wifi setting to sleep when locked, and viber wifi setting to "follow device"

for whatever reason when the phone is in wifi seems to get more wakelocks than data, so wifi sleep is actually saving battery. when xposed has a N version i will install amplify to reduce some of the wakelocks and test again (my guess is data will still be better)
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Isn't it obvious? People would use the phone more. It may get you through the day but not for Helga, Fritz, or Gerry. More battery life is never a bad thing.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
I use GPS and Strava a lot. After a 4 hour ride my battery is down to 50℅. I could use some more battery there. Idle time is indeed great but I hate having to look at my remaining when I stream music. The battery is too little for this device.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
i would regard myself as at least mid-heavy user (with pokemon go i must be heavy user now :D), so majority would be fine with it. also, better battery does not mean always better, it would need bigger phone to fit into, thus increasing cost and size and "competing" with their flagship 6p (google would have no need for two 5.5" phones). google's marketing found such specs to be the sweetspot and they probably had their reasons too

well i dont listen to music so i cant comment on that, but EX with ghostpepper might have better power management for such usage than the stock (just a suggestion, i dont really know)

for the car you can get a cheap usb adapter for the "cigaret outlet" and a usb to usb c cable, i have done so and use it when i will use navigation for hours and have no problems (my biggest trip is 5.30h from athens to thessaloniki)

i suppose depends on what time one bought the phone, i did when it cost 250euro (now its 200), so i cant really complain for the battery life compared to other phones with similar price and specs.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
What makes you think phones have to grow wider and taller to have a bigger battery? The S7 is shorter and skinnier than the S6 but is slightly thicker since they added 450 mAh's to the battery. Sammy packed 450 mAh's into 1.1 mm of thickness. Had google filled in the back to the thickness of the phone at the camera bump with battery, no one would be *****ing about ****ty battery life.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I ended up buying a Suunto* watch for recording my rides and runs. It automagically sends my activities to Strava. The battery lasts about a month in time mode and 20 hours with the highest gps accuracy and recording rate. It also charges to full in about an hour. It beats using a phone any day.

*Im still not sure Suunto is the way to go, but Garmin has similar options as well.

Anyway, this is till on topic since its about how to save battery on Android N. Lol. :laugh:

This is off topic though: Have you seen the new Clusters Strava Labs Project? Its pretty cool.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
well, i am not into such stuff to tell you if it was doable or it would conflict with something else, but i am sure that 10% more battery wont make enough difference. what matters most is the efficiency, hence why i went for nexus (my other option was G4). samsung, since you mentioned them, dont have impressive battery either. my pal is samsung fan (not fanboy :D) so i have seen plenty of them. s5 had the better battery, s4 was garbage, s6 is meh, and he might soon get an s7 so i will know then :p
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
I bought a Moto 360 sport and it worked great. It syncs with Strava continuously and very well. But I do like having the phone running it in the saddlebag. It's not a huge deal, I just plug it in when I get home. Yes, you Garmin has something similar but I like the email and text the smartwatch features give. Strava project tomorrow, thanks.

It is not that hard to make a higher capacity battery without increasing size that much, totally agree. I'm sure we'll see it in the Nexus 2016.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
What conflicts could there be? Thicker plastic?

My phone used 200 mAh's in 1 hour of screen on time. Even whatever I did in that one hour used another 200 mAh's is still another hour of usage.

The fact remains that a bigger battery is better than a smaller one.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
are you sure?

and as i said i dont know, i am not a phone designer :p
[Nexus 5X General] myawan:
IPhone 6plus packs the same 2700 mAh battery but lasts way longer than 5x. So you can't neglect software optimisations.
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:
Exactly! Android manages ram and background services in a different way. Still there's a lot of improvement Google needs make to control background apps.. Detect a misbehaving app and hibernate it preventing from auto restarting.

In my case, android system and android OS use most of the battery. Even running everything stock after a full wipe (no root) with no push notifications, System and OS are always too high.

I think 90% of people experience this and Google knows about it... And they haven't been able to fix that **** for years!

I'm still getting at least 4 SOT over 15 hours of total use.. But with this state of the art version of Android, my results should be able to double!

I see my friend's iPhone 6S plus with 8 SOT and 24 hours of total use.. That's crazy good!

So I think definitely Google has to be more aggressive with killing apps keeping your CPU awake.
[Nexus 5X General] Stevica Smederevac:
+1. Something is always draining the battery
[Nexus 5X General] pomhg:
+1. If most apps use gcm for notifications like apn in iOS other than put a sh**y service background the battery life would be way better. One more thing, snapdragon 808/810 sucks.
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:
Yeah I'm on the 810.. My wife has the 820 with the S7 Edge and the battery lasts forever with heavy use! I have a Nexus 6p stock! This phone is supposed to be the top of the food chain with stock Android. And still struggle with battery.

I have to admit N is the **** though! I'm really loving DP5.. This is the smoothest Android has ever been!
[Nexus 5X General] pomhg:
Agreed, N is a obviously smoother than MM, and new doze is good.

So many nice Android phones of 2015 were pulled down by the SD 808/810, what a pity.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Not pure software optimization really, 6sp has dual core SoC, and the iOS is doing fake multitasking i.e it takes snapshot of the inactive app. :p

And FWIW, 5X battery lasts longer too..
[Nexus 5X General] vasili_defy:
Hey guys,

Anyone installed Viper on dp5?
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Hey! What are you doing in a 5x forum? :D I had a 6p for about a week and no matter what I did during the day I'd end up with over 70% left in 12 hours usage. Perhaps I just didn't have it long enough to really put it through the paces as you have. I'd love to have that battery in my 5x. Perhaps the 820 will help out in the new devices which, btw, I'll preorder the instant it's available. Just not sure which one yet.

As for N, yes it's much better on dp5. Idle drain overnight is routinely 0.4% / hour which leave me with 97 or 98% in the morning. But then.. I read some news, check email, xda, G+, and within 15 minutes I'm down to around 92%. My sot just stinks. Perhaps it's the display or brightness setting but it is only about 1/2 and on automatic. I just don't think the battery is sufficient to handle using the phone constantly with the screen on.

Back to the point at hand, I have never found a kernel or pepper setting that helped with that. Maybe very slightly during usage, but I mean very. As soon as the screen goes on the battery sinks like a rock. And unfortunately, I now refrain from using the phone unless I can plug it in before I walk out the door.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
But you're like the only person posting these types of SOTs. If everyone averaged that, you think there would still be a battery thread of people trying to get better battery life?
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
The Chrome king. What did you do with the other 930 mAh's of battery? Music? Video? GPS? Didn't think so.

Leaving your screen on for 8 hours while doing nothing and using Chrome for 1 doesn't mean the phone has great battery life. Neither does using Battery Saver all day.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
you know that many apps wakelocks will be shown in battery drain as system or os, right?

i have said it plenty of times by now. delete fb and messenger, use push notifications on fb desktop site with chrome, set wifi option to sleep when locked, and viber/skype/etc to follow device wifi policy.

reason is that wifi causes lots of wakelocks for some reason, while data does not

s6 plus averages the same as galaxy s5 in battery, which in turns has similar battery life to 5x. keep in mind that user is also a big factor of battery life, i am quite sure if you were to exchange phones with your friend for a month you would get the same battery life as you did with your previous phone

[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:

[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
Ex kernel with ghostpepper, i get same or slightly lower battery life than stock. Also increased thermal limits, so its not throttled all time. But the phone is butter smooth and ironically runs cooler too :eek:

I cant wait for 7.0 release to flash Xtra rom and amplify, lets see the how "on par" it will be ;)
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Also, turn off Bluetooth and wireless scanning, and turn off Google Now and Google hotword.

I get 4:30 SOT, stock preview 5 (decrypted).
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:
I'm fully stock encrypted and get the same results.. Without turning anything off aside from Facebook notifications.
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Sure, but does yours drain on Idle?

I get zero (or near zero) drain on idle. Battery stays the same without draining on all screen-off time. So while I get 4.5 SOT, it is not affected by how long it's on. It can be for literally *weeks*.
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:
Sure it does drains.. About 0.4%/hour.. A good 3% in 7:44 hours.

You get amazing idle battery! The only way I could get that is disabling stuff that I don't want to disable. So I see it as a good sacrifice ?
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Yeah overnight I get around 4% drain, thats rooted w/Greenify and Force Doze. No wifi, no Bt just mobile data left on.

If i disable data Its down to 2% ish but thats not worth it to me.
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
Sometimes, yes. For the current time i prefer zero drain over features. I'll change my mind later
[Nexus 5X General] thrutheeyes:
For anyone who is undecided...I'm running DP5 with stock kernel. Running frickin great. Battery life could always be improved.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Those don't prove anything. How about a screen recording next time. We want to see you browse through your bat starts. If you get 9 hours of screen on time with 3 hours of Bluetooth music streaming, we want to watch you go from the screen usage page to the Bluetooth one that says CPU time was 3 hours and then to the Google Music one that says 3 hours also.

Az screen recorder works fine as long as the video isn't too long.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.screenrecorder.free
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
And that will drain the battery faster, just like 3rd party battery stats. Nice suggestion!:p

I've shown you how and what apps am I using on my phone, how about your screenies? :)
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
This is the internet bro, not the U S of A. You're guilty (of Photoshoping and lying) till you prove yourself innocent.

The fact that you are unwilling to do a 30 second video is proof that your claims of magical battery life are bull****.

I'm not making outrageous claims that my battery can go days on a charge. I have nothing to prove.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Nonsense, what will I get from editing the screenshots? I am not getting any payment from Google at all.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Maybe you're one if those people that wants the look like he is better than everyone else. Maybe you just like trolling. Maybe it's both. Any which way it's annoying.
