Nexus 5 won't charge passed 49% - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got my nexus last night, used. It was already rooted and I flashed purity rom, franko kernal r15 and sound mod. I was up till 2 am playing with my device. It was at 18% when I put it to charge. When I woke up to go to work it was only at 49%. I get to work and plug it in again for about 1hr now and it won't charge passed 49%. Can someone help me out or guide me in this situation? Thanks.

If it was mine, I'd return it to stock and see if the problem still persists. If it does something is wrong with your device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064

maybe just a problem with the rom/cernel, shouldn't be device specific maybe update/go back to stock?

I'll try that.. Damn I wish I didn't delete the back up..

Tab won't power on (solved)

Yesterday I watched about an hours worth of Netflix, set the tab down and then approximately 6 hours later picked it up and it was turned off. Attempted to turn it on, no dice. So I plugged it up to charge but can not charge or power it up even with the cable plugged in.
Its 3 months old and obviously I can send it to Samsung for repairs but I would hate to do that if you guys have an idea how to fix it.
Anyone got any ideas?

Problem solved. Held the power button down for 15 seconds as suggested after a google search and it came back to life.
Strange how something so simple is the answer.

It's called a SoD, or Sleep of Death. It usually happens when using some sort of Deep Idle/processor idle kernel feature. If you're using stock ROM, it's probably just a kernel glitch and was most likely a random occurrence. If you're using a custom ROM/kernel, then turn off didle/deep idle!

Stock rom. I haven't gotten around to flashing one yet as most of the time i am too busy flashing my phones. Thank you for the info though. Hopefully it doesn't happen again anytime soon.

Excessive battery drain?

Hi, think im about 2 weeks into my ownership of my N5, and over tha last few days ive noticed that the battery seems to drain far quicker now than previously. For example, my phone was 100% when I unplugged it at 8am this morning, and at 12: you can see the drain with very light use. I notice android is using a lot? Is this normal?
Any tips etc?
Thanks
i also have this problem, since 4.4.1 update Android OS is draining a lot

i read somewhere this could be down to fast dormancy??
I have a new "winner" in the battery drain category - this morning, I looked at mine & "Exchange Service" is now #2 on the list when I tap on the Battery.
Can I say, let's see what 4.4.3 is going to bring in terms of fixes & breaking more ...
Well, whatever it was, a factory reset resolved It! Been running sweet since i reset the old girl.
I've been having issues for a week now with Android Os/Kernel killing my battery. Just figured out in my case, it was having the "Enable Battery Stats" module in Xposed. Been running it for a few hours and everything but this Damn Audiomix wakelock seems good

I have the same problem in my nexus 5 after updated to 4.4.3 the use of batery for Andoris OS is around 20 % higher

Inconsistent battery fixed by reboot

I have been so impressed with the battery life on the N5 however the last 2 weeks my battery is dropping 50% in less than 4 hours. If I reboot my phone it fixes this and drops about 10% - 15% in 4 hours.
I thought it must be an app I am opening that is constantly running in the background but can't see anything obvious.
Anybody got any suggestions or advice? I have stopped almost all apps and uninstalled the majority. I don't want to restore factory defaults if I can help it.
Have you checked Gsam? Mine sometimes does that, and the culprit normally is my kernel keeping the phone awake for whatever reason, and a reboot solves it. Not sure why though

Get betterbatterystats and see what your wake locks are.
I have gsam but not really sure what to look for?

I'm not familiar with that. Does it tell you what your partial and kernel wake locks are?
If you go to App Usage it will give you a breakdown of what apps are using your battery

I have this exact same problem. I normally have to reboot my phone when I disconnect from the wireless charger. I don't think that's always the cause tho. I would love to install batterbatterystats but you need root am I'm really trying to not go down that road anymore.

I think It's the dialer. I had this problem in 4.1.1 where it would constantly be looking at my address book in exchange.
In my case, Gsam points to the Kernel being the issue. I'm trying out a different kernel, and haven't experienced the same issue.

TMobile KK update review

I updated 48 hours ago.
Horrible battery.
I used to charge about twice in 3 days.
Usually my battery lasts a day and half.
Now It does not last more than 10 hours.
I had 50% left when I sleep and 5% when I wake up.
Bluetooth took 36% batter. Usually my screen use to eat battery.
Will see few more charge cycle before I go back to 4.1
This is not a review, just a complaint. Search, read and find that others have had similar issues post upgrade and how they addressed their issue.

Where do you find 4.1? My phone came with 4.2.2
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I meant 4.2.2
That's odd. First charge screen was on for 6.5 hours. second 7 hours. Kit Kat seems fine to me
My first charge on 4.2.2 was about 18 hours
I just got my G2 a few days ago and updated it to kit kat via LG pc suite. So far I have no problems it, fast and smooth.

For anyone that's having battery issues, try uninstalling Facebook and disabling Google now. Watch you WakeLocks for a day and see if its properly deep sleeping now.

N5 shuts off randomly

So, my N5 recently started acting up now back when it had kitkat I never had this problem. So here is what I'm dealing with. My phone is charged 100% if the battery is at 60% and I try to take a picture the camera begins to act... All funny not taking pictures correctly as if the lens is taking too long to take the picture making the picture dark. Then the phone shuts off I turn it back on only to reveal my batter is at 1% and then later dies. Not sure if i have to replace the battery or what. This phone is was purchased on December 6th 2013 from Google.

Check to see if the battery is physically swelled
Checked battery looks ok also cleared the cache partition still acts funny.

Anyone have a solution to this?
I'd try changing the battery. Sounds like the battery is shot. Up to you though. Could be a number of things
Try wiping cache.

I have the exact same problem. Has changing the battery worked? I am getting the same thing after I take a PIC or Play a game at when battery is at 90%. It just dies. Help out peeps.
So it appears that the issue has been fixed at first I thought it was the battery so I changed it that wasn't it. I then reflashed android 5.0.1 and still didn't worked I then disabled the camera app and downloaded one from the play store and the phone no longer shuts off while taking photos
