Anyone else get 50% time without signal in Cell Standby under Battery use? I've always had reception and no problems. Cell standby sits at 10% and I've had no battery problems. Im guessing this 50% is garbage, since the time its been unplugged is wrong. 50% of the time is wrong, and 50% of the time without signal is wrong I guess... would this be safe to assume?

I have this problem every time I reboot the phone. It's resolved by putting the phone in airplane mode and then turning off airplane mode. I usually notice my battery life is worse when this happens.
Usually the time unplugged for me is double what it's supposed to be when time without signal is 50%.

So its just inaccurate right? Its not actually losing signal 50% of the time right?

Right. Happened to me a couple times when on some custom ROMs. Rebooting generally resolves this issue.

I'm curious I recalibrated my battery to last longer I usually lost around 7-10 percent over night. Now after calibration I only lost 3% and this is what my consumtion was and was curious is this normal or good. I'm getting 43% cell standby, 40 phone idle, 15% display and 2% OS. I was going to post a pic but is not letting me right now.

With my stock rom, I usually use about 3% over-night when the phone is shut-off.
So, either the stock batteries suck, or "off" doesn't really mean "off." I'm assuming the latter, since we have to pull the darn battery to get a true reset.
3% overnight sounds reasonable. Same here.

Maybe you have fast boot on. Or it sucks up a lot of juice just turning it on

Sure do (enabled by default). I'll switch it off tonight and see if the percentage changes in the morning.
so is fast boot something we want on or off?
I look at fast boot as hiberateing. Take that off and I believe your phone will actually shut down all the way. Fast boot is fast boot. After shutting it off and turning it back on and starts up quicker. Sounds like something that would suck a little bit of battery life over night.

With fastboot disabled and the phone shut off, you should see 0% to maybe 1% battery drain overnight.

Yeah I think its from powering down and back up that's it.

To recalibrate it I just powered up to 100% powerdown, unplug chord reboot into recovery go to advance and go to wipe battery bin. Reboot amd you should have a more accurate battery %. You should 4.2V at 100%

3% is more than reasonable.
I lose like 1% per ~2 hours standby with active 3G data connection, and gmails pushing emails.
Yesterday at night, my phone had about 86% battery left when I went to sleep. Today I wake up and I go to press the lock button to try to wake my phone up and it doesn't turn on. I thought it had shut itself off like many G2x are known to do, so I did a battery pull and tried to turn it on. It still wouldn't turn on.
I connected the battery charger to my phone and turned it on that way. When it turned on, the battery icon was empty and it was showing a "?" mark inside of it.
It stayed like that for about 5 minutes, then the battery started charging again, but it said it had 1% left.
What could have caused this?
The only app that was running was Juice Defender and it's setup to turn off wifi and all data connection from 12am to 8am.

Were you in a bad signal area? I noticed considerable drain before in the basement. Had to do with signals, was constantly searching for a better/stronger signal.
Are you using a ROM? Are you rooted if not? If rooted download a battery calibration app, charge to 100%, use the app, unplug phone and use till dead. Batterystats.ini may have bogus values in it and that's showing false info. That process should correct it.
I use cm7 nightly 151 with faux's oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel and sometimes I get the battery icon with ? in it, corrects itself once it detects properly.

That's most likely why. In places where I get 1 bar my battery tends to die very fast even with the screen off. So I pop it in airplane mode when I'm sleeping or know I'll be busy for a while.

No need if you have wifi available. just turn on wifi calling and you wont notice much of a battery drain with a bad signal, so people will still be able to contact you via call or text

+1 on this,
This happened to me on 2 phones, my friend have over 40% and he found dead, after 15mins in his pocket, same with mine, I thought my phone locked up, tried to reset and pull battery, didn't not help, found out 0% when lug in charge. Most of the times, after flashing a new rom, battery showing choppy stats.
My phone was reduced from 100 to 82 in just around 6 hours. I had data/wifi turned off as well. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Nope. With data/wifi turned on (data auto-off since Wifi is active), I lose at most 2% overnight. With airplane mode on OR data/wifi off, you should be seeing practically 0% loss.
Check your battery usage and see what's eating up the battery. Sounds like an rogue app/process that's wasting cycles or is out of control.
One of the best things about this phone is its standby life, as it seems to sip battery juice very lightly.
My battery was still 100% after I woke up today.
Nevertheless it dropped very quickly after using the phone, about 11% in 10-15 min but I assume that's completely normal after 8 hours standby.
I have a live wallpaper but it shouldn't work when is screen off. I also have setcpu set so that is practically doing nothing when the screen is off. The live wallpaper cost only 2% of my battery but standby showed 20%. I have no idea why it uses much in standby...

That means that of the whatever % battery (out of 100%) that you've used, 20% of that drain was due to standby. That's not necessarily bad. So if you have 50% charge left, then it means that (50% x .2)% of your drain was from standby. My cell standby has currently used 23% of my current drain percentage. Since your phone is often left in the sleep/not-active state, then a large % of battery drain happens in standby.
Battery usage on Android is frequently misunderstood. And keep in mind that the 2% from the LWP you used is because it's only displayed when you're on the home screen. Otherwise, it remains dormant/paused.
that's strange that you are having that much usage in standby.. i have been getting a solid day and a half out of my battery and it doesnt really use any battery in standby.. there has to be an app of some sort that is sucking the battery or still running.. i always at bedtime though clear the cache thru storage in the settings menu and end all tasks in the task manager and close all the windows/programs with the far right virtual button on the bottom of the screen.. I am a bit OCD but heck if its working why stop..lol
Area with poor cell reception? If you were in plane mode it is an app for sure.

My battery stayed the same overnight. That is with a x2 battery saver which switches off data when the phone is not used and only allows it as special intervals. I have set at 10mins intervals though which is not a huge saver.
I'm doing a test from yesterday to see how long the phone will last with my use. So far from last night im at 39% and when I first turned the phone on it was at 47% from yesterday.

I would have to agree with everyone else. I only experience 1% loss at most times overnight. Best standby battery life i've ever gotten on a HTC phone.
I actually have full bars at home so I don't think that's why. Maybe it's because it's a new battery so I'll try charging it a couple more cycles.
Lost 8% tonight (86/78). Saw this morning that the signal was not perfect. But wifi went off during the night. That should not happen. Maybe my custom rom is switching off wifi on sleep...

It's either a faulty battery or a rogue app. Shouldn't happen to a new battery either.

Right.
Battery lasted up to 2:30pm being off the plug from 7 am the previous morning. So a total of 31hours.
That is with tapatalk, a bit of web browsing, a bit of WiFi and google store updating, 2 short phone calls.
The app. 2x was running on mild battery saving,mainly by cutting the data periodically when the phone is idling.
I must say that this is really good and the phone took quite a while to go from 15% to 4% after which it switched off before I noticed it again.

Hi all
I usually charge my Nexus 5 before i go to bed and last thing i do is check i have a full white block then unplug it ready for next day. Usually when i wake up and turn the phone on its at 99%. However this morning i turned it on and it was at 94%, now i agree its not a massive loss but is there anything that could drain the battery when its switched off?
thanks for any help
Chris
Hello,
Yes, there could be plenty of reasons for the battery drain like bad signal, gps turned on, apps waking your device and so on...
If you are rooted, please post the screenshots of BBS and wakelock detector..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I think you are over thinking it. Rebooting the phone can create some ups and downs on the battery level.
The battery level is computed, it's not a 100% accurate gauge, that's why sometimes after reboots some people see increases in battery level or you can see a 94-90% last more than it lasted on another day.
"Geeks" take things too seriously
Just don't turn it off, i only get 3% loss overnight with it on anyway

Apps waking your device when it turned off? didnt realise that was possible!
i am not rooted! (always think it will go wrong)
thanks for all the answers i think maybe i am looking too much into it all....one thing i did do differently this time was as soon as it got to the full white block signal i unplugged it, where as normally i leave it on a while longer at full charge.

I think you're just looking into it too much. Whenever you turn on your phone, it won't necessarily report the exact same % as when it turns off. Also, turning on your phone uses a lot of CPU, so that might be contributing a little tiny bit to why it's a little bit lower.
You most likely unplugged your phone before it was fully charged. It says 100% but it continues charging for 20-30 minutes, albeit slowly.
Turning your phone off and on when it's unplugged consumes battery power, probably moreso than letting it idle.

This is also true. Rebooting uses power, current widget will even show large spikes for minutes afterwards. That mixed with not "over charging" it would account for this.

I have also noticed once the same thing. I don't think turning off the phone and starting it again will take away 6% battery but rather I think the battery stats were probably wrong and showed 100% charge while the true measurement was around 94%.
I think it is done intentionally so that the battery doesn't degrade easily in future.
As said above leave the phone for charging for more than 30 min after 100%, you will see increase in battery life dunno how it affects the battery cycles in future.

Usually until and unless you cut the data connection off before your turn off your Nexus few of your apps reboots automatically which eats up the battery a little . I hope this helps.:good:
Anyone else have a problem with your battery draining extremely fast? My battery goes from 100% to 38% in 2 and half hours on standby.. And I've noticed my WiFi and Cell signal constantly drop and reconnect all the time now. It just started within the last week, I don't know what's going on.. Is this a common problem? Any help or input would be appreciated.
If your phone loses signal your batrery will drain very fast.
How to solve it?
Flash another radio or switch to another carrier with better coverage.

I normally have great coverage, it's my WiFi that's the issue, but for some reason the last week it constantly turns off then turns back on.. I don't know why, normally it never constantly drops n reconnects. I'm gonna try wiping and reinstalling cm11 see if that helps
