Hello,
Since last week I have been noticing that the battery drains pretty fast. I'm running on Mokee RC3 with JbX .7b(26/7). I find the same issue on liquid smooth too.
Not running any applications. All are hibernated using greenify. The phone runs on ktonservative itself. Most of the time the screen was off say more off. I'm attaching the screenshots of the battery stats and so on. Tried clearing the battery cache and so on but didnt work. WIFI off, 3G off, GPS off
I know that there are many posts on battery drain around, I tried searching and didnt find a similar issue and I've got this feeling that its my battery dying.
Kindly help me.
Edit: Mods, Please move it to Q& A. It was an accident putting it in General
That's a lot of screen time.. that's nearly 3h of screen time rite?

The screen was off for d entire time. technically this was during night while I was sleeping. screen was off. screen time out is set to 30 Sec
That's a huge drain.. but your screen seems like the one dominating the chart.. wakelock maybe?

In batterystats under partial wake lock, all I see dominating is AudioOut_2 (15.7%)
most of the user apps are hibernated using greenify. Likewise No Viber installed.

Your screen was 71% of the overall battery usage. Are you sure the screen was off the whole time? I see in your first screenshot that the screen was on almost half of the time (the blue line under the graph at the top). If this was indeed while you were sleeping then I would say that you have an app that not only wakes the phone but also turns on the screen.

Hey guys,
thanks for your replies.. I was soo irritated with this drain. some issues with the battery stats too i guess.. coz when I get into bmm and choose system 4, its showed 99% charge always and for the remaining roms, it displayed it right.
Due to impatience, I deleted all those *.img's and created new ones..installed mokee on a different system . Now i guess its fine.

I've noticed that sometimes BMM will show 99% battery regardless of what the actual battery percentage is. I've never thought much of it, and I have learned to not rely on it to give a correct reading in regards to the battery. I strongly suspect that was the culprit with your issue then, just a matter of an incorrect battery reading.

Hi,
A good practice would be to wipe the battery stats when you install a new ROM.

dont know if it is helpfull or not but one thing i have found is the autosync drains the battery real fast,also setting the screen to full brightness sucks alot of juice. i have been unplugged for an hour reading the forums and still at 92%,that is good as far as i am concerned,if autosync and brightness were set on ut would be at 75% by now

Pretty obvious? But the screen brightness does make a substantial impact on battery life.

This is pretty well known information.
Every little bit of info helps. Check all auto updating apps as well. they can use lots of Battery power.
What I want to know is why after a reboot on any ROM it seems the battery drops approx. 8-10%? It doesn't take that much battery to reboot a phone. This has been the frustrating thing for me thus far.
Yeah, one of the biggest battery savers for me was turning Facebook from 1 hour to 1 day (auto update). I can't believe how much battery that uses. Set the screen to manual brightness with the Android Power Widget and bam - you've got a phone that can last awhile.
I am using the CM7 RC0.4 and the battery is awesome. Here the screenshot.

Good info for those new to large screens. The screen is by far the largest battery hog on these phones for me. I find the screen plenty bright at about 30%. Except in the sun of course

in other news, water is wet and the sky is generally blue.
I wish I could get some nice battery life! I already have my phone set at 30% brightness, my auto updates are set at like 4 hours. I fully charged my phone last night and unplugged it when I went to bed. 8 hours later it was at 45% battery remaining. Doesn't seem that good for a phone sitting with display off and doing nothing overnight.
I think my battery is discharging really fast. I have power saving mode on and brightness at about 30%.
Wifi is always on"unless im sleeping" ram is at about 600+ all the time. Can anyone help me figure out
how to slow down the discharging, and are there any recommended apps for solving this issue?
Go to settings> battery and check battery use specs.
If you're getting more than 7 hours of screen time in a charge, you prob have nothing to worry about.
If you're getting less, check what else is eating it up

At heavy use with max brightness and screen always on batt should be worth 9-10 hrs of working time.
Some apps (esp. Weather apps with warning function as well as some widgets) actually suck away the battery like hell .
Get "better battery stats"and run it for a day and You will know which app/widget is the sucker.
On my old Note I had a "sucking " event after a ROM update: 30% in 30 minutes. With the experts here I solved this in minutes.: :laugh:

I think it would go down in 4 to 5 hours if im using it non stop with power saving on and 50% brightness.
That is normal I think nothing to be worry about
Yeah, most tablets would last just about 5-6hrs with heavy use.
That said, I can probably get like 7-8hrs of good usage.
Watching videos, esp HD and on-screen widgets are usually the main culprits.
nearly was late for work because my phone died and i was using it as an alarm. what could have drained 50% battery in 6 hours and not show? wifi was off
while the graph is nice, better battery stats is what we need.

what you didnt post is the page with what was using your battery by %. now how are we supposed to tell you what happened and what used your battery? this thread is pointless because you gave us no usable information. what i got from the info that you did post is that a UFO flew by you and drained your battery of its power. and the thing is, my guess will be just as good as any other guess.

stock alarm app, no. but you do have a lot of wakelocks. when the screen is shown off, your device should be asleep. your device shows a lot of activity when your screens off(ironically, not when the supposed battery drain happened though, so i cant say thats why it drained).
Do you have the horrid camera bug?
Do you use exchange at all? I've had a lot of phones (android mostly htc and iphones) hit bugs from exchange in push mode and burn through their battery really quickly constantly trying to sync and hitting an error.
I charge mine on my dresser next to my head, and also use it as an alarm, I'd recommend charging it over night

I found it by googling "Nexus 5 horrid camera bug" lol, first link
Stock apps have no such issue as till date.Except for apps that use internet /wifi consume a lot of battery. So switch of those frst or keep ur cell on flight mode. The battery consumption may be due to gplay service, account sync,gmaps etc. I don't own a nexus device but I have experienced this kind of behaviour with my phone sometimes with a hot back cover sometimes.Try using apps like greenify to control this prob(or switch of ur network @ night/use lower cpu values + governers like powersave/conservative)
Rooted -- Calkulin's Stock "Battery Saver" ROM -- Xposed Framework -- a few mods from XBlast Tools running.
First off, a Root Explorer search for com.android.systemui returned nothing.
What is com.android.systemui? I don't think I saw this in my usage until a couple of days ago.
Why does 31 seconds of CPU and 1 second of keep awake = almost TRIPLE the battery use of 12 minutes of screen-on time?????

It's the actual System User Interface. So most likely a combination of the rom and xposed are causing this. Also, dirty flashes of ROMs can cause this.
If you installed a new xposed module and noticed a battery drain the uninstall that module. Otherwise remove other xposed modules. You could always try a frew full wipe in recovery as well.
I have had this issue with mostly with dirty flashing which is my queue to do a clean flash. It's also possible if you restored any apps with data, like from Titanium Backup, could potentially cause this as well.

you got caught up in a lie, with buzzwords that are pushing for you to use the rom. theres no such thing as a battery saving rom. all those scripts/mods being used in the rom are just buzzwords. battery life is all dependent on how you personally use your device, how you set up your device, and your data/phone signal quality. a rom will not save you battery.
Thanks for the help, Tom. A visit to recovery to wipe caches and fix permissions and a reboot caused this -->
simms -- I do understand that. I am not really disappointed in my battery life -- and it doesn't seem to have changed much in the week that I've had the phone. But the reporting of it had, and that sort of alarmed me...

wow, your android system is high, even though only 10% battery was used. a reboot might fix that though. you might have to go through your settings and setup again, disable stuff like google location reporting/history(it wont disable your location).

I'm beginning to think the issue I'm having is in the reporting -- not actually a battery use problem. I've only had the phone a week, so my data base is small, but I haven't really seen bad battery life nor any real change in it. Even with some use and a bunch of time fiddling with the mods and stuff, I've yet to go to bed with less than 50% left. Mostly, more...
Here's the latest pics. com.android.systemui is back on top in the overview with 36% The detail page shows 39% and a whole 2 seconds of CPU. That just CAN'T be right...

Which battery graph? You mean the current usage graph I showed in the OP, from Battery Monitor Widget?
Re Bluetooth: I just leave it on, so when I step in the car it just connects to the car. No muss, no fuss, no bother.
I suppose I could try turning it off and see how much battery I save. I know with my previous phone (EVO4G) the point at which I started leaving the bluetooth on all the time didn't change my battery life to any noticeable extent.
Here's battery monitor widget current use. The EVO idled at 70 - 95 ma. This one does seem to draw a lot more at idle. I don't know what's "normal."

Not very interesting. It keeps resetting, every time I plug in to USB to transfer the screenshots to my mac for posting here. I'm not leaving it plugged in very long -- I just move the pics and unplug it. I unplugged it this morning at 7:30 AM. It's now almost seven hours later and I'm at 93%. That ain't bad. It's a gradual descent -- no big drops like the one in your post.

Mine stats those are from my nexus 7 2013, Sot of around 4 and still 55% battery left.
I just showed u for sample. A simple restart should fix as simms told
I m on stock rom with x blast tool never happened with me....u can try to use ur phone in safe mode and see...I know its a system app but u can give a try with bluetooth off. Or flash a diff rom and see
If your phone is vibrating a lot and you have extra UI elements installed this seems normal.
When you only use a small percentage of the full battery smaller drains appear large.
Bit off topic, but have you thought of using WiFi to move your files over? No messing with the wire and you could even automate the task.

Well the screenshot tells us nothing. You'd have to give us all the battery screen shots. But from what I can see, 14 minutes on battery, a lot of screen use and some gaming... 3% isn't bad at all. You can't really judge anything on 15 minutes though.

You're still not showing all the screen shots. Your battery is fine. Look at the screen usage % of the other screen shot. Much less than yours
Here's the deal, if you use the screen, your battery goes down. Nothing new here.

Only 2 things affect screen battery use.
1) the amount of time you use the screen
2) the brightness of the screen.
So turn it down or turn it off.
Playing games will drop your battery fast. No way around it. ?

You can see they didn't play a game in their screen shot, where as you spent some time playing clash of clans. Gaming will always drain your battery quickly and this is not a unique behavior with the Nexus 5.
Also the higher frames per second your phone can achieve the quicker your battery will drain. This makes an interesting situation as once your phone gets hot and throttles down it will actually last longer as the frames get lower. If you were to limit the FPS or CPU clock speed you could actually game for longer.
Usage, Settings, and Signal determine battery life. This would be an example of how different usage will obtain different battery life.
so i perfer to have a battary case, this phone battary so tinty
Yeah i got that, thanks a lot guys!
