I'm averaging 2.5-3 hours SOT with the new update. I feel like i'm getting worse battery life.

My primary habits consist of:

-Constantly opening up camera (snapchat. i send and receive a lot from friends, I have their data saving feature enabled and I don't ever look at peoples stories)

-I have spotify in offline mode and I listen to music maybe 1-2 hours a day (screen is off mostly.)

-Work email (push notifications enabled)

-I read between 30 minutes-1 hour of news articles from the Google now cards.

-30 minutes-1 hour of light gaming (Reigns, if you haven't downloaded it yet...totally worth it.)

-15-30 minutes of browsing instagram.

I have to charge my phone 2 times a day. I take it off the charger at 9am and it will get down to 20-30% by 2-3pm. I juice it back up to %100 and its back down to 20-30% again by 8pm.
[Nexus 5X General] :
we have almost the same experience. didnt even notice a difference in battery between marshmallow and nougat :silly: anyway, wont complain anymore since i know the fact that 5x's battery is just 2700 mah, still thankful that it charges so fast! that way, it negates the negativity of having the small battery capacity :cool:

Hello guys... I updated my Nexus 5X to android 7.0 but my battery got worse than it was on stock android M.... any tips to improve this? should I try to factory reset? thanks <3
[Nexus 5X General] enzo_cz:
Listen, when I was on DP5 I had a decent battery consumption. I was able to achieve almost 5hrs SOT when browsing only. Now it gets changed for me on the final and I am glad for 4hrs or something. So today I did a total clean install thru fastboot hoping it will be better. But it keeps the same going. So decided to put on Elemental X kernel and I am sure the drain will be more decent now.
[Nexus 5X General] shufal:
For all those installing Nougat, I would suggest to factory reset during the process as it's a (kind of) big update for our Nexus. I read it somewhere and did it when installing mine and so far getting good performance in all aspects.
[Nexus 5X General] :
device battery performance is really a hit or miss, i cant even reach 3 hrs sot even on stock setup and custom!
[Nexus 5X General] miksontije:
in my case nougat is more smoother,benchmark tests and ram consumption are same as it was in mm.
[Nexus 5X General] ErikFry:
Stock, freshly rooted, decrypted and elemental kernel w/ interactive glass fish 1.2 governor profile.
[Nexus 5X General] ErikFry:
Data saver mode (that little circle with plus sign in status bar) was enabled all day. Hangouts, Gmail, Snapchat whitelisted.

Today was mostly light usage peppered with a few moderate-heavy web/video/social media browsing.

I really wish we could squeeze another hour of SOT out of this phone. It should be possible! Am I getting my hopes up for nothing?
[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
Waiting for Android 7.1 (aka real Nougat). New nav bar icons, google assistant, night mode. This Android 7.0 is just a demo.
[Nexus 5X General] jonyid:
updated to android 7. Has anyone else noticed that the haptic feeback from the fingerprint scanner has disappeared? I liked the feature so would like it back if possible!
[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
Haptic feedback is still present.
[Nexus 5X General] jonyid:
Thanks for the reply, must be something with my device then.

Will probably factory reset it tonight to clean the phone up, will it remember my saved Wi-fi networks?
[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
Is File based encryption enabled in nougat? I saw on internet it improves performance compared to default encryption method on MM. There is an option (convert to file encryption) in developer options (it is in alpha stage), so perhaps its not there.

Or wait for more replies before factory reset, maybe there's other fix?
[Nexus 5X General] HollyDolly:
I hate it. I got excited about the new OS and installed it the minute it became available on my Nexus 5X today and MAN...it's made everything so slow, and the battery is the absolute WORST. And I hate the notification look. It used to look so elegant and minimal, and now...

I'm out of the country at the moment and have an external battery that I carry for long days. On Marshmallow, I could charge my phone in under an hour to FULL battery from below 20%. Today, once I upgraded, my external battery was plugged in for 1 hours and it only went up by 1%.

I really want to downgrade to Marshmallow again, but it seems there is no easy way. If there is, HELP ME. :crying:
[Nexus 5X General] ErikFry:
Factory reset.

Also, describe a typical day as far as usage habits go.
[Nexus 5X General] HollyDolly:
Thanks for the suggestion, Erik.

But a typical day of usage should be irrelevant. Fact is, I shouldn't have to change my daily phone habits to fit the [poorer] upgrade, right? (I'm mad at Google, not you, obvs).

As far as factory reset goes, I unfortunately won't be able to try it for some time, as I'm mid-trip and can't afford to lose all the info I've pre-set up for my travels. I'm kicking myself for upgrading. And, for those who haven't updated, I'd strongly caution against it until the numerous bugs have been ironed out.

Also, I'm using the Nova Launcher. Could that get in the way of some of the new gestures, like screen splitting?

Finally, what's the point of having a stock Android system if it doesn't allow OS roll backs?? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X General] BlackMiracle:
I have been using stock 7.0 on my Nexus 5X for a couple days now. It feels faster and smoother than M. However, when a notification arrives (e.g. chat message) during a phone call, the phone vibrates! I don't recall that this happened in M though.

Phone vibrating during calls is annoying and the person on the other side can hear the buzz too. Anyone experience this as well? If not, I might have to factory reset.
[Nexus 5X General] Davirus849:
Personally, I'm getting better perfoamce and battery with android 7.0 that with Dirty Unicorns and Franco Kernel.

Not saying anything against them, using that mix gave me and improved experience over stock 6.0.1, but android 7.0 it's amazing.
[Nexus 5X General] gbru2505:
I'm running N rooted with everything switched on apart from adaptive display. I'm getting 3-3.5 hrs screen time. The phone usually dies after 15 hours. I'd like to switch on battery saver mode but haven't yet sussed how to do it whilst allowing WhatApp messages through.

It;s fluid and the animations are sweeter. Speeded them up a little in developer options as the eye candy can get boring. I'm not a heavy user although my son watches some videos on it during the morning and my mobile signal tends to be very weak at home. I find that the new quick toggle pull down fails to toggle wi-fi on an off far too often. it just doesn't react sometimes. Priority mode seems to be a complete dogs dinner - there are two ways to set control levels for notifications and neither seem to actually tie in with priority mode. Give me the NotificationsOff app anyday. Going looking for help using Google's links takes you to tips and methods that are just plain wrong. Why are the help tips on an N phone taking you to suggestions for previous Android versions? I'm still unsure how to make WhatsApp a priority app, but maybe that's just my own stupidity. With the news of new devices coming up that are not going to be Nexus and rumours of a new OS entirely, I get the feeling that N was just a few breadcrumbs based on mods and good development work in the community. As a new release for one of the worlds richest corporations, it feels like a bit of a damp squib so far.

EDIT: Back at work now and with the better network signal and less usage, I'm still on 50% after 15 hours. Much better, but think I need to change my network.
[Nexus 5X General] ErikFry:
I believe battery saving mode is aggressive doze with the screen on. If you go into battery optimization menu you can whitelist specific apps and they won't be affected by doze. Similar with data saving mode. I hope that helps!
[Nexus 5X General] PotentPotables:
Nougat seems faster and battery life is better too. No complaints so far. Also the new notifications area is so clean! no gaps no space wasted

<--- i did a factory reset after upgrading
[Nexus 5X General] sindro:
I updated to 7.0 on a clean install. It's worked great, battery life is awesome for stock. Forgot my charger and stayed at my girlfriend's overnight and after 26 hours I still had 15 hours of battery life left (I'm not a heavy user mostly just messaging and light browsing). The only issue I've had is that the doze seems to ignore apps that it shouldn't, like my alarm clock, but that's not a huge deal to me. Not a fan of the additional information in the settings menu it seems unnecessary
[Nexus 5X General] gordito_gr:
People here saying Nougat is faster than Marsmallow.

Placebo effect at its maximum, smoothness and fluidity are the same of course, no doubt.

I wish Nexus owners were more objective.

It seems that every single update in the History of nexus devices made them "smoother", "faster" and the "battery life was better", other people are saying that sound is better on Nougat, the phone is charging faster etc

As for the update, i expected more for a major release, Nougat feels like its Android 6.1 and not 7.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
So you have done a side by side comparison of the two and have determined that N isn't faster? Please record your comparison and share it with the rest of us. Otherwise your assessment is no more valid than the people claiming its better.
[Nexus 5X General] gordito_gr:
So, i need to go back to marsmallow to prove the obvious?

No way Jose.

If anyone here proves that N is more fluid, ill eat my hat.

I stand corrected android gets faster and faster and battery life gets better and better all the time.

HAIL NEXUS!!
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
If you are going to claim everyone else is wrong then, yes, you need to prove yourself. Otherwise GTFO.

Cute. Nice cop-out.
[Nexus 5X General] keaheng:
Im a normal user. No gaming no tweaks no bloat apps. Only greenify the battery drainer apps. But android n to me is laggy compare to purenexus android m. I have my 6P with android N and its fast. Maybe 5x has a limited hardwares or ram.
[Nexus 5X General] LinuxHolic:
A little less snappier

Actually i am feeling a little less snappiness on 7.0 than Marshmallow. Strange isn't it?

I sometimes can't multitask between 2-3 apps...they instantly gets killed in the background. And sometimes if i use an app for a long time(10-15 minutes) then i feel like all of my phone's RAM is full because when i press back or home button to go to the Home Screen i get just an empty wallpaper with no icon and even no clock widget then after 0.5 seconds my phone recreates(or whatever you can call it) all the icons and a clock widget. Sometimes restarting the phone helps but this happens sometimes not all the time. This wasn't the issue on Android Marshmallow. I didn't notice any better battery life to be honest. I think battery life is same. I did notice application run time a bit faster than Android Marshmallow. And in the end you may laugh at me but i think i found a bug in the camera app which was not in Android Marshmallow. I made a video of it because i found out steps to reproduce it :D but it's gone after a restart. The bug was "i captured the image from stock camera app and then the image was gone! pooofff!". I am thinking of editing the video to let you guys see clearly what i am doing but i haven't got time to do that now....papers :D.

But i am willing to share this video in PM to someone who's willing to see the video :)
[Nexus 5X General] Batmensch:
I have not really dug into the new features yet, but I am disappointed by the lags I'm finding. For instance, when I power on the phone in the morning and I have to give it a code, there is an almost 2 second gap between my touching each number and it showing up onscreen. When I press the screen button, it takes about 2 seconds to "fade" in the background image.

I installed the OTA image using adb.
[Nexus 5X General] surrealjam:
I've had mixed results in both fluidity/speed and battery life.

At times it's felt 7.0 is a lot better than 6.0.1 on both counts but other times it seems the same if not worse.. not very scientific but perhaps we need to wait till all (or most) of our apps are targeting the newer APIs.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
To be honest, even though I'm pretty happy with how well Nougat is running for me, its obviously clear that we won't see 7.0 at its FULL potential, until its almost at the end of it's life. Same thing that happened with MM. MM didn't really get fully optimized until maybe around March or April, IMO.
[Nexus 5X General] Luke_Luke_Luke:
Yesterday I updated 6.0.1 to 7.0 and many things which I dont like from M are now solved in N :)

About battery I cant say nothing because I had M only two days.

I bought USB/C male - USB/A female adapter for connecting flash drive, card reader, etc and it has such a low transfering speed. When I copy large files(videos) max transfering speed was 6,95Mbps, but the same flash drive in my laptop with USB2.0 can copy 20Mbps.

Can somebody test it on his/her 5X? I do not know if this problem is in Nougat or in USB/C-USB/A adapter :)

AIMP mp3 player app cant find any music file in internal memory on Nougat, in MM it was ok. VLC player works on MM and N without problems.

One more difference I spot on default photo app with photo sphere settings. When I made photo sphere image in MM version I could rotate it with just when I move with phone, now in N it only works with finger on display(touch).

When I use back camera, I have settings 16:9 8,3Mpix, but some photos has resolutions 3824*2168 and some of them has 3840*2160 without changing anything from settings.

I dont get it why - maybe automatic hdr?
[Nexus 5X General] larry62:
Updated 5X (stock not rooted) via OTA without doing a factory reset.

My impression is that it is smoother (running Nova Launcher Pro). Under MM I'd have a fair number of screen touches which you could see as recognized by the touch animation, but wouldn't register the requested action. Those have largely gone away.

Battery life is another matter. Since I'm on good WiFi much of the time with good carrier signal, I'd often get 5+ hours of SOT under MM. So far I can barely reach 4 hours under similar usage. I'll live with this for a while and gather more data, but will probably do a factory reset once 7.x hits.
[Nexus 5X General] Smacksmack206:
For those on Android N wanting to improve battery life, I took the time to try out a bunch of different settings and flashables and here is the best set up I found so far on NOUGAT in the past 2 weeks of using as daily. Flash latest ElementalX kernel, if you have the companion app also called "ElementalX kernel manager", go to cpu governor setting and enable glass fish 1.2 at boot for small and big clusters. make sure touch boost is turned off as it will prevent next step from changes sticking, Make sure cpu boost is off as well before proceeding.

-this might get a little confusing proceed carefully-

Now underclock cpu Max for small clusters to 787 MHz and Min to lowest possible. Also for the big clusters set max to 480 and min to lowest possible. Now if you have a recently updated Ex kernel manager you should have an option to individually set CPU on this SOC in the CPU main menu. Set it to CPU 0 only in small cluster ( cpu 0-4) and set CPU 5 & 6 in the big cluster ( cpu 5-6). Go to cpu governor for (big cluster) outside of cpu governor options menu in the main cpu menu in ex kernel manager, and set the big cluster to ElementalX gov.

-----------To double check if you did this right go to Dashboard on Ex kernel manager and check to see if only 3 cores are active; One of the cores at the top should be active, and two at the bottom should also be active. Now your CPU setup is finished.-------

download the app called "doze" it's the best working doze app in the play store for nougat in terms of battery life and consistency, I've tried Naptime force doze and amplify; Naptime used to be my favorite but doesn't work as well on NOUGAT IMO just like the "force doze" and "amplify", Just take my word for it.

Once doze is installed you will see a owl if you downloaded the right one, enable doze then click on the setting icon in the top right corner.

Once there you will find an option for aggressive dozing that will only allow doze will screen on and off, enable that option.

Then finally go to system settings for Android and scroll down to accessibility and enable automation for the doze app,

Now doze is properly configured for best battery life, now there's one other set I did which one download greenify and set it up the same way, making sure accessibility is set up on automation for greenify as well as apps set to be greenify'd. Now you should be ready to go, battery will last super long like 4-6 hrs SOT and on nougat that's saying something lololololol
[Nexus 5X General] santos_10:
How do you get 4h SOT? The max I get are 2h. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
I can play games for 3+ hours per charge on this device. If you can't get more than 2 doing normal stuff that means you have something draining your battery, either some apps or weak signal etc.
[Nexus 5X General] chris.k00:
I'm back on Android 6.0.1 now. It's a little bit smoother and a mutch faster if everything is updated.

But if you don't update the Dialer, Contacts and Messaging App, the whole Device is mutch mutch mutch faster! I don't know why but please test it on your own! I highly recommand this! I also recommand to make a fresh install with fastboot! :p
[Nexus 5X General] andTab:
N has terrible batter life thanks to Android System and OS just running wild.

Went from 24-36 hours of battery life to less than 15 hours.

Does google even bother testing this ****?

[Nexus 5X General] Rage9one:
I'm on 7.0 and recently I've been getting idle battery drain without anything turned on. Every couple of minutes that I look at my phone it loses about 1-2% of battery. I also wanna point out that the device has no damage whatsoever and I am on official 7.0. And before this drain happened I also lost my fingerprint sensor, it just doesn't work anymore. What can I do about these problems? I cannot take the phone anywhere to get a replacement because I bought my 5x online.
[Nexus 5X General] ascallop:
I had the battery drain issue after installing the 7.0 OTA. A factory reset solved it for me.
[Nexus 5X General] Rage9one:
I will try it now, thanks for the info!
[Nexus 5X General] somoant:
the same problem, factory reset did not help me, i flashed another kernel - http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/development/racer-kernel-n5x-npc56p-t3340070 and it's better

Yeah, after a day I still keep getting idle drain, lost 45% over night with nothing turned on...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawprints1986:
I'm on an s5 neo, rooted but using the same software it came with.

I decided to try a factory reset, as I had done a few things I can't undo, like removing mtp application, with a root app remover whose restore function doesn't work on this device.

I was also thinking, that instead of personalizing everything, and downloading everything, and then debloating, I thought I'd start fresh and then debloat first.

Thank *god*I had gotten brave enough to download and install twrp and make a backup, that back up is where I am coming to you from now.

I used the twrp recommended wipe for the reset, not custom wipe. Worked fine. Powered back on. All looked well until I came across a screen that said "just a sec..." For an extremely long time, like 10 minutes...

Why wouldn't it fully turn on, any ideas? As of now I can't factory reset ever again.... :/ and I'd like to be able to.

I hasn't disabled anything crazy and could reboot normally before I tried the wipe. I just don't get what went wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I cant even start off with a new rom I don't think, they're all made for the 903m or 903f versions of this phone, and I'm on the international 903w. I'm guessing some thing significant is different or else it would just be called the 903.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
what did you wipe in the custom wipe?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
Well, with a bootloop you can go to recovery and recipe, then wipe data then go to advanced options in twrp and delete the Android folder in both internal and external and that should fix the issue

Recipe? I should proof read this stuff before I post it. It should have said reset, not recipe
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawprints1986:
Like, as in deleting the "system" folder, should I have wiped that too?

Or would that totally erase this current android version? And I'd be even more stuck?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
No, go to advanced options, file manager, then to either storage, touch the Android folder, hit the check mark in the lower right, select delete, swipe to confirm. Do this with both storages. It's not the system folder and doesn't contain anything that isn't rebuilt upon boot. But it does contain stuff from your previous install that is known to cause bootloops when going from an Android version to another. Nothing to worry about when you delete those folders. It's been the source of tons of bootloops for me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawprints1986:
So, the android folder, in my case, I think I've only got the one internal storage path. I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure. I have technically for some reason a bunch of storages called "USB drive". But I think they're all empty. And I think sd card and emulated lead to the same place. Its a weird setup lol

I just took a screen shot of it, I'll add it in here
