Does the multicore power saving of trickster mod really works? It makes any difference in battery life? It affects to performance?
Sent from my Nexus 5
So many questions, so few answers. Yet I wonder...
If you turn 3/4 of the lights off in your house, your electricity bill is cheaper but its much darker so it takes you longer to do things.

Use per app mode. Limit CPU and GPU for every app. Helped save battery for me

So you're saying set multi core power saving to 2 but buy night vision goggles before hand? ?

Don't forget to buy some extra lights as well. Good luck!
I've set it at 2 with ElementalX to minimise the battery drain with Waze. I'm not noticing any drawbacks performance wise.

I've had nexus nexus 5 since the 5th... I was wondering I'm I getting normal battery usage ? Is this normal ?
Looks about normal to me. Given high pixel density and 1080p plus network connectivity and google apps.
You can improve it by turning off GPA, Location services, and other useless activity you have going on to give it a boost.

How bright is your screen? I turned it down a bit ~ 15% level to save some battery.

Getting off topic... What's it like running ART? I don't really understand it. Auto brightness will eat some more battery.

Sorry about that..... ART promises faster and more efficient execution, better battery life, and a more fluid experience, stock is dalvik. Google said ART is in beta and may not be %100, but my friend is running ART and he's getting amazing battery life.
Hey guys I just switched from note 3 to nexus 5. Just want to know if this battery usage is normal? It seems like its dying fast.

You have to provide a little bit more information. Like time on, other usage.
I thought I uploaded the other photo.

I would say yes, who knows what your screen brightness was at even though I am sure it was probably at auto. Talking on the phone can drain a lot of battery.
Why note 3 to nexus 5, seems odd?
Well you did talk on the phone for a while. But Google Search is draining the battery more than it should. I would just reboot and do another full charge. Google Search was draining my Nexus 7 the other day and the reboot/recharge seemed to have fixed it. For now anyway. Android OS/Google Search seems to be a recurring bug. Unless of course you were using google now a lot, in which case it would probably be normal.

I really don't understand why BetterBatteryStats log isn't a standard response. Give us a log, and we will tell you what's wrong. Instead of guessing.

I did not hear of the app until you made that post; the man is probably still stock/non rooted/ just getting used to it.
Look under advanced settings under wifi and see if always scanning is on. If so, turn it off.

I had the note 3 I just wasn't a big fan of the build quality and the Samsung over lay of it. I always loved the nexus 4 and when I used the neuxs 5 in person I fell in love with the design and how smooth it was. But the battery is starting to worry me. I'm on cataclysm rom with Franco kernel r22. I have WiFi on with the phone using 3g only. I barely use Google search. The phone calls werent that long either. I just feel like the battery is being drained way to fast for no reason. I keep most apps closed after I'm done using then. I had greenify on and I have the kernel set to 1.7ghz. I just don't know what to do with anymore.

I have a note 3 as well and looking to buy a nexus to play with. The only two things keeping me om the fence is lack of an sd card slot, and the battery life issues we speak of here.
Do you find the nexus 5 to have better build quality vs the note 3?

Here are some screenshots I took.
I have a bad habit of frequently clearing all apps from my recents
I somewhere read that it's not good (can't remember where)
So is it worth killing apps frequently ?? Does this effect battery life too??
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi,
I would say you "kill" multitasking...
...which is actually not good, because opening an app that is already in the phones RAM loads much faster plus it doesn't consume that much battery juice
Just leave em. Don't be obsessed with closing stuff all the time
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Apps running in your multi tasking window still drain some battery. Even Google suggests closing them if you're not using them, to extend battery life.
Launching apps doesn't doesn't spike my current widget readings so I don't think much battery is used there. I've noticed rebooting the phone does cause huge spikes though so try and only do that while plugged in.

This topic has been debated again and again. It makes no tangible difference in battery life. If you want to swipe your apps, go ahead and swipe them. You will never see a difference in battery. And that's because there isn't one.
I notice that if I don't reboot my N5 for a long time, my available RAM goes down to <150mb regardless of what I close. Does it sound like I have a bad app?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
no point. the device is more than capable of handling multiple apps open in the background.

Usually its best to just keep pressing the back button repeatedly to exit an app and let it be in the recents. I read that just swiping the app off the Recent doesn't completely exit the app and there's still some background process that will be running for some time.

Running pure stock. Haven't flashed a thing.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What works best for me is leaving all the apps that I'll be using more than 2/3 times during the day and closing all others.
I read in different places that enabling these drains your battery, but other places that it shouldn't? so which one is it? because I really want good battery life but at the same time I want fast performance and the dt2w/s2s feature cuz I use it a lot >.< personally no other kernel has matched stock kernel for me, I average about 5:15 hours of screen on throughout the whole day, and the phone is buttery smooth, completely stock (no mods to the kernel at all).
thanks!
If you leave it running all the time (ie not setting power button to turn it off) on this phone it drains. Devs still trying to work out why when it doesn't on other phones.... unless they fixed it and I missed it

1) Use some battery saver or so .
2) If that doesnt work call flipkart or from wherever you have taken it and ask them to replace it

Lower screen brightness to the loswest setting and disable google app data sync. Then also disable wifi/Data when you arent using it. Make sure you often clear recent apps and try an app like clean master.

No themes installed, brightness set to 20%, battery saver on, regularly using clean master, location services off, Wi-Fi and data always off.
Only using when needed like 2 hours browsing non stop, 1 hour video playback and 30 minutes low graphics games gaming
ive had 10 hours once but that was really trying,my usual is more like 5 or 6 ,im rooted and greenified but not much else.i have the brightness on auto all the time.
battery life seems to be getting better and better.
