Hi just got my nexus 5 and been trying to run benchmarks on it... In antutu they say the CPU is poor and in 3d mark physics test is very low... I know about the thermal throttle but really how severe is it?!? Also how to enable quickboot in cm11?!? Also some custom kernel supports quickboot???

You're labeling your phone defective because of a benchmark score?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
If I'm analyzing the information you provided correctly, I'd say it's definitely defective. I recommend selling it on swappa and purchasing an iPhone.!.!???.!.!.!
No it is not defective.
If you go to the development sections and read the opening posts on the kernel threads....they usually list the features.
Research and reading are the XDA way!
Clearly read instructions before flashing anything of course.

And no, i don't know which, if any have such a feature. My N5 boots in about 20 seconds....that's quick enough for me.
I don't think your N5 is defective at all.
It is not the phone that is defective
Guys also my phone generated the 2nd bug report without me doing anything... Once before too it did it by itself... Also when I used my phone while it was charging... The screen went haywire but after a reboot it worked fine... I'm on stock rooted and xposed... Since Google now works on any screen now and also when screen is off and charging... Is it possible to make an app that will make gnow think the phone is charging even when its not and then we'll get touch less control too...

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

Can anyone suggest some good mods for me... I'd prefer non flashable since I always boot the twrp image and then do whatever is necessary and then relock the boot loader after resetting the flash counter... So I run stock recovery as I just wanna be sure that my phone in case of a service center visit I get to keep my warranty... Also is there some kind of flash tool??? As in complete wipe and reflash ... As in even when boot loader is deleted???

Hi All,
This is an app that i just found that apparently is extremely useful for the I9505 variant containing the Snapdragon processor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app#_blank
"Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru is a battery life saver app that extends battery performance and improves overall user experience by intelligently making changes that optimize device functionality in phones with Snapdragon mobile processors."
I have just installed it to see how it goes over the next few days.
Just thought i should share it with everyone.

Its mostly useless because of this.
I used it on my previous phone as well, Motorola RAZR HD. There were options to enable data for those apps (I don't use Tango though), and I did.
In the end all it was essentially doing is managing my WiFi, and it made poor choices about that, disconnecting me when I was at home and using WiFi. It made sense to the app; WiFi took more power, but it wasn't the way I wanted to use it.
In the end, it didn't do anything but screw up my experience. I could achieve what it had "learned" and tailored it to my needs using Tasker but doing that doesn't even make a significant difference when I'd set it up for a better power saving experience so those profiles inevitably got deleted.
I should add that the RAZR HD is built to be sort of similar to vanilla Android, and that I trust Samsung a lot more when it comes to trying to optimise power consumption in its ROM without any add ons running, and that's quite a statement considering that the RAZR HD has incredible battery life.
I've had this app staring at me in Titanium Backup, uninstalled, since I got the phone and the urge to try it out comes and goes, but overall I can't really conceive that its a good idea to do so. There's no magical things that it does which can't be accomplished using other tools and most of those tools aren't really worth it despite doing a better job for the reason of the user having more control over what conditions need to be met for the functions to take place. The days of Android needing help with power management through third party apps are for the most part in the past and only exist on pretty old phones.
Battery Guru is in use more then anything else during Learning process when I check in Greenify. Based on what I see hopefully it is used less after Learning.
Also is it worth using this with Greenify?

Yep. And I guess if the functions of this app were so great how it tells you in the description, it would be in the source code of the qualcomm's kernel itself. Maybe it can save some battery but only for those millions of unexperienced users arround the world, who doesn't even know, what android really is.
I would stick with greenify and that's enough. Everything else is the job for the kernel.

Does this app really help?
I let it run the whole learning period and just ended a few hours ago...
So it started saving battery... The phone was idle the whole time.
You see a huge decline in battery? Thats when the App BatteryGuru started to "save battery", how ironic.
"Google Services" seems to be the cause in here..
When checking Wake Lock Detector,
BatteryGuru is the most wake lock...
Question is, Shall I continue using it?
i started using this app with the adam kernel and ive noticed that my battery life has increased from 12 hours of use to 18/19 hours of use
im a pretty avid phone user. mainly music, web browsing, phone calling, text, games, and seldomly maps (in order of importance to my personal life
with the stock kernel i saw no difference
So since yesterday every time I use my phone or even charge it my phone gets extremely hot! The screen especially and the back where the camera lies. I charged my phone for 6 hours there with no use and it has only went up a 4-5%. Ive not installed or downloaded anything recently that could cause this issue. I was wondering if anyone could help or have had such a problem and know what there is to do? I'm running the latest viper with elemental X 8.1 stock elemental settings been on both for at least a month or 2.

But like i said works just fine for me everytime but dont recommend it

Actually Venom Tweaks includes an option for status bar or notification drawer that displays current CPU usage. Theoretically you could run some apps, pull down status bar and check if both cores are in use. Having one core activated running full throttle would easily turn your phone into a hand warmer

I knew that but when you provide someone with information that you do not recommend a user doing, you should explain why so they understand the risk associated. Especially in a case where their phone could be damaged beyond any chance of repair. Don't you agree?

Correct. But putting the phone under some form of stress such as running games or watching YouTube videos ramps up CPU frequencies as well as initiating the additional core.
According to comments in development thread, OP has solved over heating issue with an RUU.

cause even i had some issues with heating.. even for a small games my cpu tem is 50-60 and battery around 40!
It isn't unusual for this device to reach those temperatures during battery/CPU intensive apps or games. I've had it happen many times, games like Scramble With Friends (and other With Friends games) do it quite badly, as well as Maps, YouTube, and several others.

Isn't this what you're looking for? I don't know if it uses the low-power core and whatnot, but it seems to do what it's set out to do at least.
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.
Sent from my Nexus 5
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!

Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Can anyone verify that dead trigger 2 and kritika lag on their nexus 5 too? Then I'll be happy, because I'll know that that they obviously lag on all nexus 5's

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.

You know what guys I suspect it's just those two apps that lag, cuz other games run just fine

I played DT2 a lot on my N5.. Never had a problem. Back then my N5 was fully stock.
