Well, does it charge while you have connected it to a Wall(AC) charger? Does the Battery indicate that it's charging??

Yes it does indicate. But the percentage did not move. This happened yesterday as well so I drained it then charged fine as normal. Any advice.
Thanks

No clue m8.. It's surely weird. You could try to flash factory images and see whether it fixes or not... Follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Wait for a while and see whether someone else comes up with a solution.. If not, follow the above thread..

So it indicates that it's charging but the percentage doesn't go up.. that's what you're saying, right?
Try a different wall charger or try charging it via a computer/laptop and see if it charges? May be a faulty charger?

Yes I'll do what I did yesterday. I'll keep u updated, thanks for the help so far though,much appreciated!!! I currently have 53% for 45mine screen on. I might try a battery calibration app too because I am rooted....

If you aren't using your phone regularly then Android OS/SystemUI/phone idle will always be at the top of the list!
Since you're rooted, install BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector and see which apps are preventing your device from sleeping... Also, Install greenify and hibernate all apps except the ones which you would like to get notifications from like whatsapp...

OK thanks, will do that now. Any idea what is draining my battery ( see PIC)

Seems normal... Even I have the same... You can't make out by looking at it... You need apps Like Wakelock Detector : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
Follow these steps:
1. Open Wakelock Detector settings and put a tick on "Statistics Since unplug"
2. Charge your device for sometime.
3. As soon as you remove the device from charge, turn off the screen and don't use it for few hours.
After few hours, Turn on the screen and open wakelock detector and check "Wakeup Triggers", "Kernel Wakelock" and "CPU Wakelock" and see what's preventing the device from sleeping...
Now once you Greenify those applications, you ought to have a good battery life!

Battery drain issue

Since better battery stats & co don't work on KitKat as of right now, I'm asking for your help in diagnosing the causes of my battery drain issue so here are some screenshots of my battery stats. I attached the last one to show that GPS should be deactivated.

If you set the location service to Device only, I expect things will become much better.
The other location settings enables Googles data collection of our movements, not just our location. This is how Google Now will tell us things like how far we've walked or cycled. In order to know this, the phone is basically waking up every few seconds, getting location information and firing it back to Google.
Google have said themselves in some key note speech that their new location collection API's will use 1% of battery power an hour, which doesn't sound a lot put like that, but equals a quarter of our battery capacity in a day. If you haven't a good cell signal, I expect this 1% is very conservative.
Unfortunately there is no way to tame this collection of data, even if you opt out of everything. Basically if Wi-Fi is enabled for location gathering, it collects this data even if we ourselves don't use it. Google will be using this data to collect information about us, and also uses it for detecting traffic congestion.
Try setting location to Device only and see if things improve, even with apps then using GPS as their only option it will probably be better. While GPS does use a bit more power, it will not be pinging every 10 seconds or so.
Also in the battery page look at the Screen On and Awake blue bars. Ideally you should only have Awake shown at the same time as Screen On. If there are lots of Awakes without the screen being on, that is something using your phone when you are not, usually this is location services.
Regards
Phil
Thank you for your answer but if I'm not mistaken this will disable all the Google now functionalities which need your location to work, right? Also, here's a screenshot of the detailed battery stats

Battery usage

Hi guys, I've just bought a Motorola moto g 16gb and then I've installed android 4.4.2 and I noticed that the battery stats doesn't show the battery usage of many user apps..
Is it a bug or not?

It does, but it won't show any user app that is less than (I think) 4% use. He's got a user app showing up on the list in his screenshot.
What has changed is that some user app use of core OS features now get reported as Android OS/Android System where as under JB they were reported as the originating app.

OK, really need to know battery consumed, how much of that is reported to be the screen and the screen on time to see if that is an issue. It is normal for screen to be top of the list with regular usage but how much it drains (and how much screen on time you get) is basically going to be a function of your brightness settings.
Looking at your second screen shot I can see a couple of things you might want to investigate/change.
Wifi is always on - fine if you are actually connected to wifi - but if you are out and about and not using a wifi connection having wifi enabled will add a significant amount to your idle drain rate. You should also disable 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced Wifi Settings (Settings/Wifi/Menu Button.Advanced).
Your cell signal is often quite poor - not a lot you can do about it but that will cause faster drain when you are connected to mobile data.
Your phone is waking up regularly when not in use. There could be numerous causes for this, but most likely it is having location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saver - the phone is regularly collecting info from your cell tower connections and surrounding wifi networks to feed back to Google to get a location fix, and apps that like to know your location may be asking for a fix regularly. Depending on what you use location for you may wish to consider turning it off entirely or running in Device Only mode.
You've used GPS - some people have experienced an issue with a continually higher drain rate after using GPS - it's intermittent - for some it is everytime after using GPS, some most of the time, others very occasionally. A reboot will fix if this is an issue (it doesn't look like it is a problem but it's hard to tell - it's most obvious if the battery drains in airplane mode).
I turned off the GPS right now, disabled 'scanning always available' and set the brightness as auto.. I'll write here if this will increase my battery life or not, thank you anyway

You might want to keep it between 10 to 20% manually adjusting to higher levels if you're going outside, for the brightness sensor to not be working and therefore, consuming more battery.
From this morning at 10a.m. with 94% of battery I reached the 9p.m. with 7% of battery and I used it a bit more of my average use.. That's better than before (I had to charge my phone at 8p.m.), so thank you guys

if you disabled those that are shown in a screenshot, did you reboot first? if not, try again. then let the phone sit there for like 10 minutes, then check.
btw, i do agree with you about some of the meanness that goes on in xda. im not like that, i enjoy helping people too much. and the nexus 5 forums here also, it isnt as bad like the rest of xda. there are many here like me, that actually keep an eye on the forums, to make sure that meanness doesnt go on

maybe so, but at least i will be able to see how your phone actually sleeps, if it does or not, and how much it gets woken

[Q] Too much battery drain from xposed..

So I got the closed framework and downloaded gravity box, knock code, and app ops. While the phone was fully charged and on standby it turned from 100 to 75% in a couple hours on standby. And while using thenphone there was too much battery drain. Does anyone know from which this happens (I think GB) but please share.
PS. Before applying I would get 20h+ of battery on low to medium usage.
Doesn't knock code need the digitiser to be powered up even when the screen is off?
Try disabling each module one by one until they are all disabled to see what happens.
Please do not post questions in general. Post them in Q&A. You put a [Q] in your thread title so you should know where this thread belongs

The Knock Code drains your battery. It requires the digitizer to be constantly on, thus the drain.

The knock code module just replaces the pattern lock. It doesn't keep the digitizer on like the LG G3. Doesn't work when the screen is off.

Battery drain rates are very dependent on usage patterns and sometimes the most insignificant settings changes can lead to well hidden sources of current consumption.
So my advise is to try to remember if you made any changes in your applications or usage patterns right before or after starting to use Xposed, as your answer my lie there.
Also try to identify if the high drain occurs from Xposed itself or one of the modules, by deactivating and/or uninstalling modules and Xposed. Please be very careful that usage patterns might easily tip your conclusions off.
To somehow prove what I'm saying here, I've noticed that on a high usage day, my N5 can last as low as only 8-10 hours on a charge, while on a low usage day, after 12 hours since unplugging, it still has at least 80% of the original charge.
Have a nice day!

I guess it is on the LG G3, but on that device it can also be used when the screen is on, as a lock screen method, which is what the module emulates.

Ok. Well as suggested turn 1 off , run for as long as possible. Turn another off and run as long as possible. Etc

Its fine that its only while the screen is on and its pretty cool actually.
I think I found the problem and that's its from xposed itself....after I uninstalled the framework I THINK that there is less drain...
Can everyone share their version of xpised and what modules they're running and how is the battery usage...?
Thanks

No additional drain. Latest version available via the xposed installer app.
Really, the user experience with Xposed varies from one user to another xD

To a limit...as having so much drain using three known modules is very starnge. I lost 35% on a couple hours if total standby. So there is something wrong.
