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?

I've used this and it seems to work great. Enjoy

I'm using this one:

It shows the number of times you opened each app as well as how long you were using it.
How much are these going to effect battery life?

How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Hold the phone further from your face.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

I was just joking. You will have to root and change the DPI. I have mine on 400 right now and it looks a lot better.

It's cool. No worries.
I did that before on my old HTC One. I just didn't wanna root and wipe out everything in storage by unlocking the boot loader.

Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.
Does anyone have a reccomendation for an app that kind of simulates quiet hours in cyanogenmod? I miss that feature on new lovely N5 and I want to wait for CM to be stable before flashing.

I ended up using Tasker. There's a pretty good setup to import here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode

Thanks I'll try that I hear good things about tasker

You can try silent hours. It gives you the option of setting the time and days you want the sound turned off.
I use battery Widget reborn. It has night mode/quiet time features and it's good for quick battery info at a glance

I use the Do not disturb Premium from Google Play very simple to use and plays well with the Nexus 5.

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

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.
Here's a screenshot of betterbatterystats with a few minutes of usage... It's totally empty and it definitely shouldn't be...

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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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!

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.
