Thanks, I was confused by this too. Does anyone know, does it make much difference to the battery?

Yes it makes quite a bit of difference. Keeping that setting unchecked saves battery

I'm using CM10, and so far it's been great. I've had no problems. One feature I like the most is that you can respond to texts when you're not even on the MMS app.
Almost 3 full days. Not a single sleep of death. Battery life is on par with cm9. My only issue is a slight lag when unlocking the screen (about a quarter of a second)
It's a daily driver.

I find battery usage the biggest problem, can't even manage to make a half day with 3G data connection ON.
Web usage may be limited to max of 2hours. CM9 was better for battery for me could get a day with moderate usage.
Any body facing similar problem to me ? :banghead:

CM9 did not have Google Now, turn that off and you will see a huge difference.

I was looking over my battery stats with better battery stats app. I noticed that "WiFi running" was using my battery 100% of the time. At first I thought that was my WiFi connection but my WiFi was off. When I turned it on I then notice "WiFi on" in better battery stats. What exactly is WiFi running?

Ahhhh I see. Thank you for the reply. Would this connection to my SSID be draining battery? Or is it such a small percentage that I shouldn't worry about it?

I must have it wrong. What I said makes no sense in light of your screen shot. Sorry to have jumped the gun.

Wifi running could possibly be referring to the 'Scanning always available' setting in advanced wifi settings. If ticked it allows Google and other apps to scan for networks to locate you.
I'm no expert but just a thought
Thanks for this I just got the nexus 5 and was wondering the same. Didn't know there was an "always scan"...

In all seriousness, I'm not sure what time we're supposed to looking at to help. I see some wake locks happening for a few seconds.
I guess I didn't explain myself well... It's a picture of my phone off charging for a few hours.... But if you look at the line above it says statistics 0s (even though the statistics themselves have some seconds) and the detailed statistics are totally off - Google calendar had 24 wake locks for 2 sec while Tasker is over 1000 but under 1 second... All my setting are constantly skewed and totally off...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Is it a one time event or did this ashtrays happen. I use betterbatterystats and I have seen something similar, but it's always a time event and goes away next time i boot or plug the charger in.
It's been like this for almost a week. I've rebooted multiple times and deleted cache.

Sorry about the spell correction, lol. Damn ashtrays. I guess the only thing I would suggest would be to uninstall and then reinstall the app. I would have suggested clearing the cache but you're already done that.

Hmm, both are for 4.4 KitKat? 4.4 made it more difficult to get the statistics and bbs wasn't working for awhile. The new version does work. Maybe Rom related?
It's neither... I've had this ROM for 2 weeks now without any real changes and it just stopped randomly...
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
There must be something wrong with the phone or corrupt on the ROM... better battery stats is only showing one wake lock (nlpwakelock)... Grrr

Thanks for all the help... In the end it's a ROM problem that a module in xposed can fix (except I'm on ART so I'm screwed).
Thanks for the help guys!

I've been trying to check how long do I spend on each app on my nexus 5. I've tried several apps on the play store but then I've been given incorrect stats. So is there a way I could check how long I've spent on each app?

It shows the number of times you opened each app as well as how long you were using it.

So recently i have noticed dolphin browser is actually using more battery than the screen which i find very odd as i dont remember changing anything im guessing this isn't normal?

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal
Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.
Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.
