Has anybody else had trouble with rapid battery drain and Cell Standby being the process that's taken up most of the battery? I'm completely stock and unrooted at the moment

It's a known issue. They apparently added the wrong power draw amount when calculating the percentages so those are wrong but it's not really using more battery, just misreporting.

Do you know if this works only with a custom ROM or can I just use the non-Odin root method?

I used the non-odin route and just installed it on mine. Cell standby dropped from about 30% to only 3% after install.

So with that calculation being incorrect does that result in your battery life draining faster? I just got mine on 9/22 and battery is draining significantly due to cell standby (cell radio being at the top of the list) I heard through a friend that this will be fixed with jelly bean update?
Can anyone shed some light as I just switched over from iPhone 4 and this whole battery issue is disappointing, thanks!

Battery not draining faster. Percentage reported in stats is wrong. 30% shown is actually 3% and should be at bottom of list.

Thanks for the reply prdog..one more question cuz I just came back from the Verizon Store and they can give me a new one if I go back since I just got this on Saturday..
So the reported stats is wrong as you stated in Battery setting..so thats the reason why I see my battery level indicator draining? Because it does drain pretty fast.
nearly was late for work because my phone died and i was using it as an alarm. what could have drained 50% battery in 6 hours and not show? wifi was off
while the graph is nice, better battery stats is what we need.

what you didnt post is the page with what was using your battery by %. now how are we supposed to tell you what happened and what used your battery? this thread is pointless because you gave us no usable information. what i got from the info that you did post is that a UFO flew by you and drained your battery of its power. and the thing is, my guess will be just as good as any other guess.

sorry but there was nothing out of the ordinary there so i didnt even think to screenshot it. by a large margin the screen used the most % battery. i thought it might have stuck on but that's not shown in the above shot

right, not in the posted shot. could have been an app that decided not to go away and drain your battery instead.

is that a known problem with the alarm app itself? stock rom
there just wasn't anything that stood out to me on the app battery use list

stock alarm app, no. but you do have a lot of wakelocks. when the screen is shown off, your device should be asleep. your device shows a lot of activity when your screens off(ironically, not when the supposed battery drain happened though, so i cant say thats why it drained).
Do you have the horrid camera bug?
Do you use exchange at all? I've had a lot of phones (android mostly htc and iphones) hit bugs from exchange in push mode and burn through their battery really quickly constantly trying to sync and hitting an error.
I charge mine on my dresser next to my head, and also use it as an alarm, I'd recommend charging it over night

I'm guessing this http://www.androidcentral.com/googl...cpu-usage-bug-fix-coming-next-android-release
I found it by googling "Nexus 5 horrid camera bug" lol, first link
Stock apps have no such issue as till date.Except for apps that use internet /wifi consume a lot of battery. So switch of those frst or keep ur cell on flight mode. The battery consumption may be due to gplay service, account sync,gmaps etc. I don't own a nexus device but I have experienced this kind of behaviour with my phone sometimes with a hot back cover sometimes.Try using apps like greenify to control this prob(or switch of ur network @ night/use lower cpu values + governers like powersave/conservative)
Hello everyone, it's days that I try, in vain, to activate battery percentage display. In menĂ¹ settings and in particular in the "status bar" section, I can not find any option to do this.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
I read that is coming in the next update most likely. How true? no idea but I'm sure it's coming soon.

Well that's even better. Awesome!
Hopefully this will be like the OnePlus 5 after launch. There was like 2 or 3 updates in the first 10 days or something. Bug fixes and feature add-ins
I'm using the Xposed module GravityBox to get the percentage.
Use accubattery and you will get battery percentage on left side
OP should switch to circle battery icon. Best of both worlds not much space taken up while still actually being useful by showing the percentage in the center of the circle. Probably will never happen.

You can install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bhanu.powerbar
It can add batter percentage and also adds a a bar you can then in the phone setting hide the battery icon if you just want the percentage.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this as it makes the damn number so small you can't read if it's a 6 or an 8 or even a 9 sometimes. The standard 100% with the symbol is needed for certain. They can still add in the percentage in the whatever icon for the ones that like it but the standard number with the % is a must I feel.
I usually have the percentagem with no icon, that's perfect for me. It doesn't had any more space and it was already in Oxygen OS, not sure why they removed it.
Lets see what they do on the next update.
battery percentage is way more important that icon,
also they can easily can add slim icon to save some space.

No, it's horrible.
I hope they will set option circle battery icon with procentage inside circle. Would not take more space and % would be there...
Heh...I didn't even know that you could have the percentage WITHOUT the icon....
Good stuff.
Do you know how to set this double sim status icon?

How many notification icons can the outside screen show at once? Can you customize that screen in any way?

4 notifications at once, basically you get a orange dot next to the time when you get a notification. You then swipe right and the icons appear. You click on an icon and it gives you a small preview of what it is then you can click again and open the phone and it will go directly to that app. Example is an email where it shows the Gmail icon, with a click it will show who its from and the subject then with another click and open of the phone it goes straight to that email.
One small improvement here would be of the outside screen was always on which it is sadly not. There are no customisations unfortunately.

Yes I wish we could have an always on option. Using it i realized even preview time is short it just suddenly goes off this mini display. Hopefully someone makes an app or samsung enables always on for the outside display.

Agreed, I have had all 4 generations of Pixel and will be hard not to have the always on display. Would have minimal batter impact being so small, too.

I've not had chance to do as full battery drain check yet but anecdotally it seems ok. Battery stats tell me that the other day i took it off charge at 1am and by 4pm it was down to 40% with about 3 hours screen on time.

120hz drains the battery soon. Set the refresh rate to 60hz if you need more battery life. This issue may be solved in any update

It just means that out of all the battery that was used up to that point 88% of the used miliamps went to the screen, which makes perfect sense since it's the heaviest battery user out of all the hardware bar the CPU.
You wouldn't want Android System to be using 88%, wouldn't you?

Ahh, yesterday It wasnt available for me yet. Today i could update It. For sure, they have changed the way the % of battery use is calculated.
Yes, less battery drain and I've noticed that the phone seems to be faster and smoother.
