Perhaps you should go into your accounts and stop many of the the Google services from syncing. I only have Calendar, Contacts and Gmail on. That might help with battery life.

Make sure you read the last post, it streamlines the process, I just haven't had time to update the OP.

Why would they do that? The whole point of having a smartphone is having instantaneous access to your info and using these features. This is a known bug affecting many. Supposedly oneplus one will fix this with the next ota update.

Things running constantly so that you can have instantaneous and continuous access will drain battery-operated electronics. That's nothing unique with OPO, other smartphones, or any other electronic device which runs on a battery.

Yes it will drain your battery, but not excessively like the google services bug present in cm11s. Most people don't buy a smartphone to have everything turned off on it. My g3 has all the same things constantly active and battery is a beast on it.

That is a great suggestion for a temporary battery life improvement but hopefully the update coming from oneplus will resolve it permanently. I hope it does, I really like this phone but will switch over to the g3 permanently if it doesn't get fixed.

this did the trick on mine. I made this video for couple friends
just stop all the services and do immediate reboot
should be fine after

Once you reboot, the process starts again, so they are running again. Por thats TVE way it should be?.

why is "google search" a huge battery drain

I got my n5 for couples weeks now. In the first week, the battery is ok, with average usage, it will last for at least a day and a half. Since I installed a lot of apps, the battery started to drain much faster. Could not even last a day with not too heavy usage. I took a look at battery report today. Surprisingly "Google Search" is the #1 battery drain (~60%). In the three hours since I unplug the charger, the battery life came down to 50%. All I did was checking emails and browsing now and then. I even have DU battery saver installed and optimized the system quite often. But it didn't seem to help too much. I see someone complained that "Google Play Services" can be a battery killer but google search? Anyone having similar issue?
Because they love you the most!

Google Search uses a lot because it has "google now" and with the Nexus 5 and the always rendering "okay google" voice search, it sucks hard on battery. Once you install more apps and add more info to your device, Google Search/Google Now, still broaden the search criteria to all of that info on your device.
Disabling Google Now and voice search will dramatically save you some battery life.

The issue with this draining your battery is that you have location turned off, if you turn it on and leave it on you will not get the battery drain. With it off Google search is constantly looking for the location and cannot find it which is what is draining your battery. Had this issue and once I turned on location and left it on, no more drain. Hope this helps!

I found some old posts with similar issue. It appeared that the updates of google search have a bug which is killing the battery. I have uninstalled the updates, and so far so good. But you brought up an interesting point cuz I thought havingn location on is like having the 3G on which takes up a lot of juice. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks.
Yeah no problem. Also I'm running it with those updates...

Yes, but I was using the tablet which is also running KitKat. The Google Search showed up low in the list for the tablet but did not show up at all in the battery usage for the phone. I do have some of the options turned off such as Personal results and most of the options in "Everything Else."

Back in 4.4 this solved my problem.
Now that I've updated the OS to 4.4.2, the problem has returned but there are no google search updates to remove. :crying:
Could you guys who've solved things by enabling location services tell me exactly what settings you have used?

I had the same issue tonight.
I also had no connection to Google Now even though my WiFi was on. (Check if you have the same issue) if you do, just restart the phone.
If not delete the google search cache.

I just bit the bullet and did a full factory reset
No problems today but now issues of Moves taking all the battery and strange things like wifi taking the battery even though wifi is turned off
If these issues are not sorted soon, I'm considering going back to 4.4 or just ending my nexus 5 experience.
ive been having the same google search battery drain issue for a while now. I've been speaking with Google Nexus support folks, but to little avail. I even ordered a replacement Nexus 5, however, the new device is experiencing the same wakelocks. I will try to keep location on to see if that makes a difference. Haven't tried the uninstalling app updates for Google Search yet.
I have Google now completely disabled. And I don't see Google search coming up in any of my battery stats.

I thought turning location on which is the GPS will eat the battery? Can you help tell me where to go to turn that on?
Unless I'm confused with the location GPS vs Google now

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included
Battery Drain turns faster after I update N5 to 5.0.1 and ReRooted.
the update used this Method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57621585&postcount=15
Current state:
Rooted
Google Now Enabled
Location Reporting Disabled
GPS Disabled
Screen Light: Auto
Singal Strengh: -65dBm 23asu
And the Gsam screensnap is listed below.
My question is :
1. How to make the battery drains slowly ? when I am in 4.4.4, it is much more better, maybe it is caused by 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 ?
2. Is the battery draining mainly by "Cells Standby" ? I can see it in top of "Battery" of "Settings", but when I use Gsam to analyse, the "Cells Standby" seems all right?
Thanks.
If you hardly use your screen, other things will be the biggest users of battery.

Yes, but when I use the screen more frequently, the "Cell Standby" is still the biggest drainer in "battery" of "setting", which never happend in 4.4.4.
It's probably an app keeping your phone awake. Seems you have almost 17 hours awake, out of almost 20. Try to use an app similar to Better Battery Stats to check what's keeping your phone awake.
It might be Google Play Services.
You can use Disable Service app (you're rooted) and try to untick some Google Services Syncs. See post 2 in Battery Troubleshooting thread of this forum. Other option would be Greenify. Good luck.

My guess is an app that trigger google play service
try with safe mode too see if it's 3rd party apps related

This. </thread>
I don't know if you noticed before but the issues lies on the exclamation mark on the wifi and cellular icons if you see them frequently.
I had abad battery drain issue before. I solved the problem by luck. I owned a Linksys WAG320 modem before. Someday it become bricked than I bought an Asus N55. Wakelocks gone that day. So I made a test at my office where a bad wifi connectivity exists. At the office there's still wakelocks than I realized that the issue ise bad wifi connectivity.
So you must find yours. I think it would be a bad cellular data (not cellular itself because you have a good cellular connectivity).

Strange overheating problem

Hey guys. A couple of minutes ago something strange happened to my phone. I just don't understand what's going on with it. I'm so disappointed. I mean... this phone costed me some money and experiencing such a thing makes me regret so much I bought my Nexus 5. It is indeed the best phone I've ever had but if this is what it takes to have a phone for such a small period of time and already have so many problems with it then... I think it's just a waste of money.
I don't know what's going on with it - It just overheated horribly while scrolling down on Facebook. Never happened this before. I was just scrolling like normal and using FB like normal and all of a sudden my phone becomes so hot - quickly I opened System Monitor and CPU temp was at 60-67ºC.
Also if I go to the Battery Tab in System Monitor the graph is pretty strange in my opinion, I mean the battery´s temperature is going up and down all over again it's like the graph of a heartbeat record or something.
Don't get me wrong, the Nexus 5 is the best phone but if this is really what it takes to own a phone for straight two months.... I mean, really?

Though it sounds like a app causing you problems there l would recommend trying a custom rom and kernel l have always found the stock ROM to run a little warm. But maybe before doing that have a look at trickster in the play store you change many more things to help keep things cooler.
The stock kernels the culprit I'd say. It's set in a narrow freq towards the top end causing it to run hot. Use Elemental X.

Perhaps it's those monitoring apps that you have installed. Just reboot the phone, should be fine.

Battery problems (maybe deep sleep)

Hey guys. I got some battery problems. Although my battery lasted 2 days I'm not happy with it.
I have no idea about deep sleep but I think my phone doesn't. I lost 10%!!! over night in airplane mode.
First of all I'm not using any gapps at all.
Im on cm12.1 15th nightly but earlier versions resulted in the same.
Then I have mobile data disabled 90% of the day, I usually use some wifi over the day. And some Bluetooth when I'm in the car.
I made some screenshots, maybe someone can tell me something about my battery problem. Thanks!

I think you better disable Google app and use it on your browser! And it might be that app which monitors your wakelocks as well. Uninstall it.
Btw: Mods will move it to the correct section (q&a).
