Hi everybody !
I'm new on this forum, so please tell me if I do something wrong.
Since approximately one month I have problems with my Nexus 5's battery, and a poor screen-on time (+/- 45 min).
I run stock Lollipop 5.0, with ElementalX r70 kernel, and I have the MultiRom mod installed, which I use sometimes to try different ROMs.
I didn't notice differences between stock and custom ROMs, but I didn't try for a long time.
May someone be able to help me ?
My Nexus 5 is one year old, I hope I won't be obliged to change the battery.
Thank you.
The first way you need to do is checking your wakelock in detail by using some apps like GSam Battery Monitor, or Better Battery Stat, you can find them both in Play Store.
See the sticky, first four posts plus last few pages.

Hey everyone, I'm new here, as well as the "rooting community."
Well, here's the story. I rooted by HTC Sensation 4G and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 on it. My battery life has been very strange ever since. Sometimes it lasts forever on a single battery percent and then other times it rapidly drops. What causes this?
Also, the file attached is what my battery usage looks like.
(sorry I am restricted to posting the image link)
Why is it like this? Normally (before root), the display is at the top of the list.
Finally, if anyone could give tips (I know this is not the right section, but why make 2 topics?) on extending CyanogenMod's (or a rooted device, in general) battery life. I already have SetCPU profiles.
Thanks!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The massive battery drain was caused by a modem I flashed before with a different kernel.

What do you mean by modem?
There are different modems you may flash. Have a look at the android development sections.
Or maybe there are several background processes running.

Hello.
I have a battery problem on my nexus 5. Seems like no matter what I do, my Nexus 5 discharges like it never sleeps. It first occured on Cataclysm with franco r32, I wiped everything and tried Cyanogen, same happened. Now with AOKP and Purity and Sanity - SAME PROBLEM.
What am I missing?
I am using multirom twrp.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you

Unfortunately, as good as some on XDA are at troubleshooting, none of us can see your phone. Or what apps you have. Or battery stats. Or wakelock detection. I think you get the point. Just saying I have bad battery life is absolutely worthless without other details to explain what is going on. I'd suggest looking into the apps: Bettery Battery Stats and / or Wakelock Detector. Both of these, over the course of some time will be able to get you a better idea of what's up, or at least that and some screenshots posted here might be able to provide some more insight. If you can use that to track down some problem areas, it's possible the app Greenify can help hibernate it and keep it from making so much trouble.

I would tell you more about apps and wakelocks but the thing is I have been testing those roms i mentioned completely stock. I tried greenify with every rom, gsam reported 23min SOT with 7hours battery life when I checked (at 4% battery). So I tried another rom - I am on Vanir right now.. don't even have google account set up and still experiencing the same drainage.. 30% in 2hours idling..
Well, you could test till your fingers fall off, but if you don't share your findings, then how could we help you? I'm not saying that I can or can't help, but there are many here with a lot of experience with these issues and a breakdown of your findings might help someone point you in the right direction. Plus if there are other users in your situation, and they see your findings coincide with theirs, then that's more subject material to help troubleshoot. I've flashed dozens of roms and have not experienced anything similar, before or after sync. Not saying I haven't had battery issues, but usually brought upon by myself and playing with kernels and settings. Just haven't had that kind of drain through multiple roms and what not.
Hello. I've been using faux kernel ever since I got my device. It just seemed to work and provide stability, smoothness and battery life. I like the app too.
But lately there has hardly been any updates, and my phone gets hot even when watching low quality YouTube videos, which in turn causes really bad battery drain. It's fine for light use, as I can easily get 4 hours+ s.o.t browsing Facebook and xda etc. Videos and games are a no no.
So, I want to try a more up to date and popular kernel.
My choices are Franco, Elemental and Trinity as they have the most xda thread views.
I want to know what's different about each one from peoples personal views. I'm not interested in which is "best".

Hi,
There is already a thread about kernels: Kernel discussions... You should find what you are looking for (or ask in the thread).
But better is still to test by yourself and make your own opinion.
Kernel does not affect battery life as much as you think, it depends way more on wakelocks/screen usage.
Of all the kernels I've tried on the Nexus 5, I've managed to get a whole day out of them with 3-4 hours of SoT and around 2 hours of music with the screen off. Deep sleep time with no wakelocks is also 1% battery loss over 12 hours.
I don't really have the time to test each kernel individually as doing so requires days if not weeks to draw out all the conclusions.
That thread you linked to returns an error "invalid thread id is 5"...

Works fine on a browser, Tapatalk does that sometimes with links.
Thread closed, More opinion on kernel can be found Here, please continue there...
Since i cant post in dev section yet, by being a noob i thought i would post this up,I was just wondering how everyone is setting up for battery life I am running moar and stock kernal no tweaks, except using the smart network and powersave toggles and im getting some of the best battery life I have ever had.im getting over 1 day with 60% still left and 2 hours screen on time I would have included a screen shot but im still new and trying to figure that out
Honestly bro it seems that your battery life is ok due to the fact that your screen on time is less than 3 hours. I am also on MOAR and the latest ktoonz kernel. His kernel if you are a noob as you say is a little confusing because he has so many options to tweak his kernel you will not know where to start first. A little reading and research and it will all feel at home once you read and research. I am personally getting around 19 hours of battery with around 6 hours of screen on time. So if I had only 2 hours of screen on time like you I would probably go into the days.

Major things that affect your battery life are not ROM related so it is pointless to compare ROMs. Your signal/usage/syncs/location/apps/brightness/setup are the contributors to battery life more than anything else.
Please do not start a ROM comparison thread as it is meaningless and will end up closing the thread.
Thanks

Sorry want trying to start a rom comparison thread at all was more looking for battery life and to see what the rom was people were using to get it so I aplogize for the confusion

Hello,
I flashed Slimsaber rom a couple days to try and enjoy Lolipop (battery life was horrible for me on stock cm 12.1).
All in all, it's a great tool and I get good battery life.
However I noted that overnight there is this unknown (to me) am that eats my battery while the phone is not in use.
Couldn't find info on it, I'm guessing dire the it's name that made it quite a pain to research.
Any clue, help appreciated.

Edit: apparently can't add images, so in a bind here
App info :
Cancel
cyanogenmod.platform
/system/framework/org.cyanogenmod.platform-res.apk
version 5.1.1-4d2f613529
on a full cycle it uses up to 30% of the battery, more than the screen.
