Hello,
Lately I have a little problem with my uni.
The problem is that my battery status isn't displayed correctly. I know this because the device goes dead when the battery is at half. Now the battery lasts +/- a day so there isn't a drainage problem.
Is there a way to recalibrate the battery?
Thanks for the reply's.
ps: using Tomal's latest rom
Read this you should find few methods to recaliberate battery here..
great thanks for the help and in the future I'll check the wiki first
It didn't work for me! I've a thread with my experience. I hope thomas_pieps will be luckier!

By "protect battery" do you mean conserve battery power?
If so, a few tips.. keep location settings off when unnecessary, along with bluetooth, keep screen brightness down, and use wifi instead of LTE when possible. Some apps will drain battery more than others, you can check your general battery use in settings and see what apps are heavy drainers, or for more detailed info there are some good battery monitoring apps
I bought my nexus 5 couple of weeks ago and from the beginning I experienced a really poor battery life.
From the screenshot, please other nexus 5 users let me what do you think about this battery performance, is that normal ? When this screenshot is taken about 17% battery was remaining. Please suggest me how can I improve this battery performance.
I am using-
Stock rom
Rooted
Low brightness as possible
Google now disabled
Location off
There's a proper sticky battery life troubleshooting thread for this, it will tell you how to troubleshoot your issues better, no need to open another thread . Please post more detailed screenshots over there
But looking at your 'usage', in your list you seem to have forgotten to add "played Hay Day for 2 hours"
So my simple suggestion to improve your battery performance: don't play Hay Day for 2 hours....

2 hours gaming + 2 hours SOT. Where is the problem?
Need to use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for your games to get more out of it.

Yeah, Thanks for your help, I highly appreciate it and also going to post on your link.
Anyway, the game usage is there so I felt like not to mention that, lol.

Could you please explain what is SOT and how could I use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for gaming. Thanks a lot for your reply.

SOT would be Screen On Time
I imagine what he means is that something like Tasker when said app liek a game is open it underclocks the cpu and then resets it back to normal when you leave the app.
This would stop the cpu being put to max all the time and thus using more power consuming more battery.

I'm still not sure what you'll gain out of posting there though, your battery statistics are very skewed, which is why you have a perception of 'poor' battery life...
It's like driving a car at 100mph with the windows open, the stereo loud with the air con on...and then wondering why the tank is empty and the fuel economy is so bad...
Or leaving all the house lights and appliances on all the time, and wondering why the electricity meter is increasing so quickly.
Playing a mobile game for two hours...........not much different...it makes the battery life look 'poor' by most standards...
In all three cases, it's how you use it which will define how much energy / battery is used. Basic laws of physics
the 'Normal usage' is impossible for any user to define as we're all different, but still I'm going to guess that most of us don't include 2 hours gaming in that statistic
What kind of battery are you currently running on? That may be contributing to the short battery life.

of course, its his battery!
no way it has anything to do with 2 hours of gaming(sarcasm)
seriously though..
Read the first 2 posts in the thread linked above by @eddiehk6
Lots of tips there.
But as others said....2 hours of gaming will make your battery drop like a rock.
There's things in that link that can help you squeak a little more out of your battery....but gaming is the worst thing you can do to your battery life. Nothing you can do about it....except not play. So, keep the screen dimmer....and keep your charger handy.

I wanted to know that what is the average life of a 1700mah battery ?
I have this phone, solo one, its lollipop, 1/GB ram , 1.3 GHz quad core with a 4.3 screen .
Its battery is draining very quickly. If I surf over 3g it can barely give me 2 hrs,gaming is worse, only an hour I think. I turned on WiFi and turned my phone into a hotspot and in 5 minutes 10 % was gone. Is this usual for this kind of battery? Also, when I run cpu-z , of shows my battery capacity as just 1000 mah . is it a bug or am I fooled ?
At the time of starting to write this , my battery was 46% now it is 42%.
When I went to service centre they just said that my battery has passed the "test".
Please help me.......
Hi
There is no such thing as average battery life.
Unusual battery drain can be caused by faulty firmware,phone or battery .
Try factory resting phone and see if it solves your problem.
Also check this thread for battery saving tips.

If the issue persists ,you can post in general Q/A for better help form peers.

Good day !
Two applications to download and use and save lots of battery life, and give a lot of performance boost is:
Go Battery Saver
Clean Master
Just search on Google play
Hope this helps

And I have answered it. There is no such thing as average battery life .
A poor firmware with memory leaks can give abysmal battery life like yours.
Same thing if you have a poor battery or some defect in phone.
I had suggested a factory reset to rule out one possibility of faulty firmware.
There could be background services eating off your data and battery .
I have listed the thread by Woody about batteries and statistics.
You can read and analyze your battery usage yourself ,to find out the culprit.
Also ,there is a duplicate thread in General Q/A section.

I will mark this thread as completed and close it

cm11 + greenify
install gsam battery moniter too and keep a check on which apps are draining most battery, and uninstall them if they aren't needed or find a lighter alternative.
