Hello!
I have my n5 4 days now and I have to say that is an amazing smartphone. The battery life is good for me (3hr45 mins - 4hr15mins SOT) . I noticed though that after a full charge the first 5-10% of battery (90%-100%) drains very fast without any use.. Why is that? Is gonna be better? Has anyone else noticed that?
Thanks in advance

You'll have to get Better Battery Stats to see what's going on.

To reword what has already been said, install "BetterBattery Stats" app
to increase the battery life I have turned off all GPS connections and removed applications that do not use.

Hi guys,
i have a question about the battery life of my nexus 5, since i installed kernel Franco r25, the battery life seems not so good
i turned off almost everything (wifi, bluetooth, etc) before going to sleep, the battery was at 93%, and after 7 hours, it lost 17%
here are some pictures, hope that there will be some useful information.
(i am not allowed to post pictures yet, so please see the attachment)
you guys think this is bad or good?
thanks so much :victory:

The last photo looks like you have poor signal, and the "phone idle" on your battery chart would suggest that as well. If this is the case, your best bet is to just leave the phone on the charger over night because low signal will destroy your battery faster than even the screen.

Yeah unfortunately the best thing you can do is enable airplane mode and wifi and use Google Voice if you need to send texts. Otherwise the phone will just send more power to the radio which drains the battery in this situation.
You probably have some apps waking up your phone and eating up your battery

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.

While the N5 is one seriously amazing device, one thing it is not known for is having great battery life. You'll get used to it.

I already know that about the N5 battery, but i think it's particular problem with my phone.
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.

So how to reduce that screen usage?

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!
I get my galaxy s6 5 days ago.
it's seem that battery is drain very fast
For example from 100% to 57% battery in 4 hr and 54 min.
In this time i talk 1hr, 2hr of screen usage.
I use WhatsApp and nothing else just average usage.
That does not make sense
Does anyone have an idea or a solution?
Thanks

Youre most likely having a deepsleep issue. Check the deepsleep thread in the general section.

2hrs screen time 1hr calls and rest of time whatsapp is more than enough to get your battery down to 57%
i get a battery life of 1 day but my screen time is 3 hrs and hardly a few minutes of calls
but in continuous usage the battery life shouldnt be more than 8 hours ! Its totally normal!
Looks like you have switched form nokia

WoW, Now i love my phone after 18hr left 28% battery
Thanks
My nexus 5 last a long time on standby with the screen off (only drains like 2% per hour) but when I start using it the battery can drain as fast as 1% in 10 minutes or less. I do play some games but no intensely, and mostly in just on fb and internet. I have heard that the battery on this phone is pretty low for having such a fast processor, but is this normal? I took a screen shot of my battery so you can really see it plummets as soon as the screen is on. Please let me know what's going on and if I can fix it. Thanks
Firstly. You need more detail than just that graph. And secondly, yes using your phone will drain the battery

Boy howdy your post is sure helpful. I've been reported for less.
OP:
The n5 screen is very power hungry and inefficient. I can run WiFi tethering all day if I keep the screen off, but read a few articles online and battery plummets.
I am getting SOT of 2.5 hrs with just normal usage...dunno whats wrong
I am using CM 13.1 Sultan rom...Suggest me any other rom which gives good battery life with less features because battery life is more important for me because it just consumes like 2 % of battery in 2 min.
Please help me guys..
