hi,
i've had my nexus 5 for around 5 days now and the only thing thats getting me down about it is the battery life.
I came from a razr I and that battery was great!
I was listening to tune in radio today for around 2hours and my batter went from 99% to 66% with 28% equating to the tunein radio app and a whopping 38% to 'media server'. anybody got any idea what this is? is it linked to the tunein radio app?
also any other battery saving tips? and the best battery app?
Thanks

I'm upgrading my software today (JP8) and i wanna know which one's better voodo or lag-fix?
can you please help me?
thx ( :
For me, I have a heavy battery draining issue now. I'm using Voodoo 3.0
I did unplug my i9000 for 4 hours so far. But, my current battery level is 69% !!!
This is unusual for me. I used to have around 80% while I was using RyanZa's one.
I'm enabling data connection since unplug.
Running MSN Talk, Facebook for Android and E-mail client since unplug too.
Also listen to music for 30 mins.

Update
Now, its running for 8.30 hours so far.
Battery level is 28% !!!?
I'm considering about moving back to use the one from Ryan.
P.S. During this 8.30 hour, I didnt do much with it. Just online with 2g data connection. Run 3 apps while screen off. Half hour of music via headset. No movie no game.

There is something worn here. I'm using beta4 a in nearly 24 hours with WIFI, GPS and heavey navigation i am on 38%, Maybe you guys need to calibrate your battery and erase battery stats:
Refreshing battery stats after Odin or flashing (important) - xda-developers
That's not what i asked about..
I asked which one fixes the lags better not which one gives more battery life
I recently installed CoreDroid 6.7 and along w/ changing up some settings and using SetCPU, I'm getting unreal battery life. Yesterday I took my phone off the charger at 1pm and with normal everyday use along w/ naviagation, email, facebook, and browsing I woke up this morning around 8am and still had around 50% battery life. I charged it before work and took it off charger at around 11am and as of 5pm I still have 75% battery. Who needs an extra battery or even a bigger one when you can get these results w/ a ROM and SetCPU.
I bet honeysense+setcpu+honeysense UV mod beats that by a few more hours

I bet plants vs zombies would still kill both of them really really quick
I get about 5 hours battery on heavy usage. WiFi on, setcpu 1.2ghz, playing a game or watching movies on vplayer.
I got 4pm-9pm from full charge to 15% yesterday with mobile data on/off, fm radio/HTC music player and light texting. No gps or WiFi.
I have no idea what radio I'm using, Android revoultion 5.1.7
My phone seems to be draining pretty rapidly when listening to music. I lose about 10% every 30 minutes. If I remember correctly, listening to music while running Froyo was easy on my battery; about 1% every 10 minutes. I'm wondering what other people's experiences are with battery and listening to music. If you can, please post your ROM, music player, and battery drain.
CM7.
Using Music and WinAmp.
10% in 30 minutes.
Thanks.
I use UberMusic on my stock TB running 2.2.1.
Noticed first hand Yesterday, It drains the living hell out of my battery.
I started out the morning on full battery, then using UberMusic for a 30 min drive there and back.
Then started to use the music player by the end of the day with a 20 min drive to school and ended with 0% battery.
I did have my brightness on 100% also UberMusic does use the internet for connection to display "Artists" picture's for the background.
Thanks for the information.
It may be better to get stats based on apps that don't use data.

Yup, But UberMusic is too damn good of a music player to stop using
I'm running OMFGB nightly 7/31 and I use poweramp. Over about 8 hours I lose 30% battery, so my drain is pretty light.

That's more like what I'm seeing with the stock player on Gingeritus3D, too. I hardly notice the drain. Are these other players trying to download lyrics or cover art or something?
Thanks everyone. It seems I'm not crazy - my drain is excessive.
Greetings peeps,
I just wanted to pop in and ask how you guys are doing with the battery life.
Reason I ask is over xmas I had alot of interaction with my N5, but it wasn't exactly an extreme use.
I got 3 hours SOT before shut down and the phone managed a whole 8 hours powered on time. I know not amazing.
now in contrast I knocked my N5 off my wireless charger while in bed last night, I checked what the battery life was like. In a rather shocking contrast, the phone had been on for 10 hours and had dropped 10% or 1% per hour if you prefer.
I just can't fathom what's going on, I appreciate it was sitting there doing nothing, but my syncs are the same as the other day and were looking at 8 hours vs 100 hours can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this, alot of the time my drain is the screen and i've employed LUX to alter the high brightness to something more fitting to the surroundings. But i still sync G+ Fb and Twitter, I sync all of my Google account but thats it.
the 5 hours while it drained when the screen was off the other day, when i managed only 8 hours, it wasn't draining at 1% an hour. soo what gives, if we take the screen out of the equation and look at those 5 hours, that should have been 5% charge, not the remaining battery.
I've used betterbatterystats and doesn't show any particular items drawing battery.
While it's only play services which tops the list on the battery list in settings, thats the highest, but again it's like 4 minutes, not 8 hours!
So any help is welcome.
Over night it lost only 2% battery. The nexus survives (without any problems) 24hours with 5hrs SOT. Of course it depends on user's behaviour. I dont play ganes but i am using wifi 3g and navi for min. 4hrs (smtimes more) and in the evening i still have over 30-40%. Important: have stock 4.4.2 and ElementalX kernel 0.18, undervolted and max 1,5GHz

what about battery life when listening music with hands free and playing mp3 ecc?
i m not sure guys but everyone is complaining about battery..
it s so frustrating
it makes me re consider buying or not buying
Battery is completely based on usage and how often the phone needs to wake itself. When the screen is off my N5 will essentially never wake itself unless for a message, phone call, or update.
I even have Google Now enabled so I can still set and use reminders, but I don't have it searching my weather updates for me. Dashclock does that instead and only updates when I turn the screen on.
With auto syncs off, Wifi always scanning off, and hotword detection off for more SoT I've not been let down by the battery once.

N5 deals especially well with music playback due to it's hardware tunneling feature. An hour of music playback barely registers on my battery listing.

Even if all my music is on the cloud on Google music?

Local mp3 files work best. Streaming will use more but I haven't found Songza to be much worse beyond usual data needs.
This DSP tunneling thing isn't work at all...

Hey everyone just a quick question. I am currently on OOS 5.1.5 and have pretty good battery life expect when I use google play music. I came from an Iphone where play music barley sipped any battery and talked to a friend that has a Oneplus 5T who also says that he streams 6 plus hours at work and still finishes his shift with 60 to 65 percent.
Just yesterday I was streaming music for about 4 hours and it completely drained my batter from 70 to 0. At 1 percent I looked at battery stats and it said that google play music used 45 percent of my battery.
On a normal day when I listen in the car. A 15 minute drive will make me lose about 3-4 percent. All of my music is downloaded locally.
Anyone have similar issues?

Not noticed but I'll do some tests when walking the dog tomorrow.

It prevents the phone from going into deep sleep to conserve battery, while also using data to stream the songs.

Bluetooth headset, music downloaded, can't see any issues
Do you use an adblocker by any chance? If you do, it's because GPM is coded poorly and keeps pinging googleadservices.com and googletagmanager.com while it's in the background. Whitelist those two sites and you should be good. I went from GPM taking 10% of my battery to 1% of my battery by doing that.
