After the update, I decided to search up what the update was for.
I was reading the comments and some people are complaining about poor battery life.
I checked my Battery tab and how fast my batter was draining during normal texting use, and it does drain pretty fast.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Stocked ROM, never rooted.

So this is probably a big issue with most people is how fast the battery drains.
I'll get right to the point. I swap roms like I change my underwear... every couple of weeks... ( that was a joke...) basically every day. What I've noticed is what happens to my battery after swapping roms it tends to read the battery life incorrect. EVEN after a battery stat wipe.
I charge my phone to 100%. Let it drain until it gives me a battery warning. (which is usually below 15%) then I remove the back cover and just yank the battery ( I know there are risks of doing this but I've done it a TON and never had any issues)
Funny thing is though, right after I pull the battery and then replace and reboot the phone, my 15% battery life left... is now a crazy 25%-30% left!
So android is reading the battery level incorrect. (even after a battery stat wipe)
Anyways after putting the battery back in, i'll charge it to 100%, then use the phone as needed from then on I have NO issue with battery life and it usually lasts me 15+ Hours with moderate to heavy usage IE: games, browsing, music, Facebook, etc.
Let me know if this drastically improves or at least improves your battery AT ALL like it does for me...
Pretty common in most 1st posts for rom threads and a general calibration method. Thanks for sharing anyway

Well according to the 10+ battery issue threads I highly doubt its "common" for people to actually do it. So for those who are looking for something other than stupid apps that claim to "re-calibrate" your battery, or battery stats which claim to "reset" your battery which in my experience really doesn't solve anything, its just one more thing to add to the "hell, lets see if it'll work" option.
Errrrmm... This is not the fix. Battery reading jumps up after reboot, as reported by hundreds of users (including me) and then depletes rather quickly to real value.
Ok... My main complaint about the infinity was the short battery life while browsing. My biggest wish was for this issue to be solved with JB.
So far (only a few minutes with the tablet), I'm seeing 2 things.
Wifi under battery drain is still very high, over 60% (bad news)
BUT using the and app it seems the battery drain while browsing has come from 25% an hour to less than 3% (great news)
It's to early to tell... I know, just 15 minutes with the tablet with JB... I really cross my fingers...
I would really love to get 8 hours of tablet browsing time!
How is your battery doing after the update?
A little update, overall battery life has improved. It's been 3 and a half hours(screen on time) of browsing and streaming video and the battery is at 40%
But Wifi battery drain is at 42%
They improved overall battery life with this firmware but still haven't fix the Wifi driver issue.
Less than 3% an hour? you absolutely sure about that?
Still, good to hear the abysmal battery life has been improved. As for the WiFi battery usage, is it not possible that it could just be a bad choice of hardware? It's sort of ironic, really, considering the Prime. Almost like Asus are overcompensating.

Hi... 3% was during the first few minutes while the battery dropped from 100% to 99%. Extremely inaccurate.
As I wrote later on, there was some improvement. But still this is the only android device that I've seen were the Wifi drains more than the screen.!
That still not solved.
Running MOAR 8.0, I am getting days of great battery life, then occasionally the battery dies within a few hours, dropping quickly. The strange thing is that the battery gets warm to the touch when fast drain occurs, but is cool under normal circumstances. I have three different batteries, and thought it might be a battery issue, but the same thing happens on any one of the three batteries. Anyone else experience this sudden fast drain?
Hello,
I've searching for like 2 months about problems with battery life and Lollipop with nexus 5. I understand the issues but since it was released, i never had much problems with it. I used to have 2h SOT for like 40% battery or so.
My daily routine allowed me to reach home with a bit more than 50% battery with 2h SOT more or less. (a lot of messaging on viber/whatsapp)
But something changed since 1 and half months ago. I can no longer do the same and it seems that i have a CONSTANT battery drain. I remember when i unplugged my phone i would reach my workplace (1:30h after unplug) i would have like 2-4% less battery depending on the usage. Currently when i get out of home the battery is already at like 92% or more depending on the usage. If i let the phone stay idle all the time, i usally get home with 30-40% battery now. I'm already thinking that my battery has gone bad. This started to happen from one day to another and i never let the battery stay too much below 30% usually, but nowadays it's impossible to predict the battery life since some days it seems to drain more than others.
I've used some apps to monitor the usage but i really don't understand much about it and can't seem to find a pattern. I've already did factory reset with all Lollipop versions and i remember doing a KK regression for some hours but the drain seemed like it was still there (can't use KK on my nexus 5 anyway, it feels weird after Lollipop experience ) but i didn't even fully charged the battery as i remember. Anyway if it would be an app, there should be some kind of logging in battery stats which doesn't, and i can't think about anything else.
I finally gave up and decided to ask help here, since i don't know what else to do. I'm actually leaning towards getting a nexus 6 but after reading about so many issues (screen/battery life/burn-in) i'm not sure what else i can do with my nexus 5.
If anyone can give me a hint i'd be very grateful
PS: already tried Cataclysm ROM and using currently ElementalX kernel. I notice a bit better battery life with ElementalX but i think the pictures speak for themselves.
Judging by that constant drain with very little shown awake time I'd install Better Battery Stats and check for kernel wakelocks. I had a similar situation with a wake lock from using a wireless charger that did not show in the regular battery stats.

i already installed it before, but currently don't have it installed. I have Wakelock Detector app i can post a screenshot if helps
Installed Better Battery Stats, i'll post results tomorrow (battery at 19% already).
As promised, there's still some battery left but i didn't even use the phone today mostly... in days like these i should be over 70% as usual or maybe close to 80% that i remember.
Can't seem to find the cause
bump i guess
will some full discharge cycles fix this ? iirc that can make things worse.
I feel your pain...when I was on Kitkat, I'd get to work running just Waze and Pandora and my battery life would be at 80%. Installed Lollipop 5.1 and now half way through my trip (15 minutes of use) the phone shuts down with a dead battery. Maybe it's just a coincidence that my battery decided to give up the ghost at the same time I install 5.1, but I find that very odd...the phone is only a 1.5 years old...lithium battery's tend to last 2+ years and even then they don't fall off a cliff in terms of capacity. At this point I think I'll buy a new battery and see what happens, LG OEM are about $25 on Amazon.
I've had this phone for about a week, running 5.1.1. It was fine at first but now the battery drains so fast. I have used wakelock and greenify but then realised it's systemui it drains 40-60%battery. Even when I'm at work and not using my phone it still drains quite fast. I have tried everything short of a factory reset. I have the stock rom
i've got the same issue, battery drains about 8-10 percent even during sleep hours when absolutely everything like wifi, data, gps, sensors etc is off, moreover i've disabled all the apps possible through application manager, still on stock non-rooted, i somebody can please put me wise over this
For me battery drain very fast.
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this it really drains my battery
