Nexus 5 terrible idle time (19 hr, 65 percent)

I have low LTE signal in the area but Wifi on. Would this be able to drain all my battery overnight by just idling?

drain all your battery just overnight or (your title) go down to 65% after 19hours ?

Install BetterBatteryStats and let it monitor the usage for you. Then post the results.

you just installed it ?
if so you need to wait the next time it happens.
most of time it will be in the "Partial Wakelocks" (BBS) or "CPU wakelock" (Wakelocks detector)
(root may be necessary)

I've had it for a while. I haven't seen any weird wakelocks under partial, have'nt checked CPU. I'm used to troubleshooting, but this time it's just weird :\

Somethings hogging your mobile data in the background. Check your mobile data stats. IF you can, try disabling Google+ and see if it makes a difference.

Major battery drain

Guys, another member with yet another battery drain thread. I could have asked my questions on an existing thread but didn't want to hijack anyone's thread.
From full charge I'm losing 3-4% battery within 2 hours.
I'm rooted with custom recovery and stock ROM.
I have WiFi on during sleep only when plugged in.
Location services all turned off.
Any help massively welcome.
Here are a few screen shots for info.

Did you look at the stickies??
---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------
[/COLOR]The very first thing to try is turning off WiFi off when screen off. Something is waking it up constantly. Leave WiFi on. That may alone fix the issue.
Try it first anyway.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------
Edit: you did look at the stickies. Lol. Good work! ? I was thinking, wow....just saw this same issue somewhere.
My bad.

That's the first thing I thought, it's not doing the battery any favors to have the WiFi flip on and off like that. WiFi is easier on the battery than data, so unless you have data disabled and are switching over to voice/SMS only it's more efficient to idle over WiFi.
That might not be the case if you're attempting to use a WiFi with a much weaker signal than your data connection. However in this set of screenshots it looks like a mix of weak and strong mobile connection which would cause extra drains (especially the red full drops).
Biggest issue is all that awake time though.

dont waste your time looking for a cause, google play services is biting you. its a kmown current issue with the play services. i used to use the disable service app to disable all location services from the play services app, and used to fix it for me.

Thanks guys for the suggestions.
I've turned WiFi on always and still the battery is draining fast. 4-5% within 2 hours.
Android system is a big drain. No idea why. Google play services is currently at 5%

Try using CPU tuner. I've used it on all my devices thus far and have had great battery life thus far. Average full charge on high usage lasts about 14-16 hours

Try also to change kernel, you are rooted so there are no problem, i suggest you to try the big bum kernel that you can finde here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-bum-5-t2774572 it's simply a franco kernel with some optimization andi like it so much! I've no google play service in battery info and it's update very often!

Do you have your brightness cranked all the way up? That'll drain your battery pretty quickly. Looking at your stats that's the only thing I can think of since your screen is using so much battery.

[Q] Horrible battery life after updating to lollipop

Hi there,
My battery life was never good, even on kitkat, but a few days ago I received an update to lollipop, android 5.02, since then, the battery became much worse, it drains so quickly, even when the phone sleeps. (4-5% an hour when it sleeps, and when I use it- 1% per minute)!
GPS is off, very low brightness, and very moderate use. No games songs or videos. Just a little bit of surfing the web. When I look at the battery use, Android system is taking quite a lot. |(The CPU). My phone is not rooted.
Google play services wakelock are disabled.
SOT- only 1:30-2:00h!
Any suggestions what can I do?
Thank you

It's CM11S.
Easy way to revert back from any lollipop based ROM.

Have you wiped the cache from recovery? Sometimes a new update can cause issues, whether its files left behind it can help to wipe cache.
You could also backup your data and try a factory reset on Lolliopop to see if that helps before downgrading.

Flashing back to KitKat is a pretty extreme suggestion, especially seeing as no investigating has actually been done to see what's causing the battery drain.

You need to use an app like BetterBatteryStats to investigate what's draining your battery.

So root your phone, if you want to work out why your battery is draining this is the best solution.

I can't, It will ruin my warranty.
It seems like android system is taking quite a lot of my battery- the cpu total.

What makes you think that? That isn't true. Unlocking and rooting this phone doesn't affect your warranty at all.

I checked it out.
The company who gives me the warranty told me that.

Alright, understood. You're kinda getting screwed there though because this device is intended to be unlocked and rooted. The way I see it you have two choices:
1. Leave your phone the way it us and deal with your battery drain issues. You can't go back to KitKat without at last unlocking the bootloader, and if rooting voids your warranty then unlocking the bootloader surely will too.
2. Root the device, find out what's causing the problem, and fix it.

[Q] Android system draining battery

About a week after I got this phone, android system began to drain a lot of my battery. I turned off sync, disabled a lot of apps, and adjusted Google now, didn't seem to help. I don't know what else to do. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a similar problem except it is Call Standby, no one could answer it with a proper fix, though apparently it is VoIP, sadly we can't disable it on VZW S6.

Try clearing cache in recovery, I heard that fixes it.

For Cell Standby drain see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ow-to-significantly-increase-battery-t3109799

Thank you!

Help please!
I would also LOVE some help with this too. Currently, Android system is taking up 29% of my battery resources and cell standby is at 10%. I think I've exhausted all possibilities too. I've tried wiping the cache partition, factory data rest, odin back to stock, advanced calling on and off, changing the WiFi sleep policy and nothing seems to tame either one of those from being at the top of my battery stats. I struggle to get 3 hours of SoT. Gsam regularly says that WiFi active uses 40% - 50% of the battery. Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it? I am amazed at some of the screen shots I see with people easily getting 5+ hours of SoT. Ps, I'm on VZW.

What are you running? Stock now? Clean Rom? Try downloading Better battery stats in the Play Store, see if you can get a better handle on what's running more specifically. Have you removed all Verizon's bloat?

And yes, I've disabled all bloat and unused apps.

What I would do is root, and flash Clean Rom 1.5. Then try that and see how you do after that there's a few things you can do that might help if you don't see a jurassic change. Keep us updated though. But thats where I would start.

You also can try to turn off things like smart stay… auto brightness helps if you turn it off and turn your brightness down manually. And make sure if you do flash a rum to let it settle for 3 or 4 days before your give up hope.
