My N5 battery needs a replacement? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, there are few days now that I have some strange issues with the battery of my mobile phone.
First I saw that the life of my battery goes up to 3 hours, using data mobile, where previously it was about half day. Second, yesterday while I was trying to delete photos from photos app, (the battery was about 40-50%), my phone did a random reboot and the battery went to 1%. These kinds of random reboots I had it when the battery was on 15% but also on 30%. The most strange thing of all, when I had these kinds of reboots, all the saved wifi networks that i had, was lost (not always).
Here are some photos from the battery stats.

I want to mention that I'm running android 5.1.1 - LMY48B.
Does anyone knows what is the issue?
What do you suggest to do?
1. Make fix batter permissions from custom recovery?
2. Make a full factory image/custo rom?
3. Replace the batter of the phone?

If the issue keeps happening do a factory reset. Doing 1. doesn't help at all and 3. Is a last resort.

[Q] Pls help, battery troubleshooting

Dear all,
I'm exasperated with the battery life that I am getting from my Sensation. I'm hoping to get some help in how to troubleshoot whatever software that is installed in my phone that is sucking up the battery life. I did some experiment where I removed the SIM card (so as to kill off any network connections), turned off Wifi and Bluetooth, and the only factor that I changed was the Airplane mode. The following is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The red line shows the average gradient of the battery drain with and without Airplane mode. Apparently, there are some network-aware software that is "disabling" itself when Airplane mode is on or off. I have tried using BetterBatteryStats to get an idea of the wakelocks in my phone but it is not very enlightening (AlarmManager and PowerManagerService are using causing most of the wakelocks). Is there some software that can help me troubleshoot the issue? Thanks!

You could try this thread...download currentwidget and get a log of everything happening. If this doesnt solve it, post the log over there and see if some of the devs can help you out. Hope this helps.
[How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% Working
I notice your using battery widget pro, have you tried using system tuner, also by 3c, to see if you can find and stop the problem app or process.

Higher battery use on 4.4.1 - here are my battery stats!

Ok. On 4.4 (with linaro version of franco kernel) i could leave wifi on and overnight get 2% battery loss.
Now on 4.4.1 (again with linaro version of franco kernel) i get 5% overnight loss. Nothing else has changed!???
Here are my battery stats...
(i plugged it in just before bed so it'd reset the 'unplugged')

I think betterbatterystats is what causes the battery drain in 4.4.1, i uninstalled it and no problems.
Based on the screenshots (log from BBS would be better as some stats are missing in your post) you've got WiFi on with few applications utilizing it. Like SwiftKey, Facebook and few others. Review your WiFi configuration (you may also need to remove/forget your WiFi network from the phone and configure it again - that seem to fix certain WiFi issues at 4.4.1) and check again.Also try with WiFi off for comparison.
Thanks I've just forgot the wifi and rebooted then re connected, I don't get why SwiftKey is using it? It's a keyboard!?

5% loss overnight is still decent I would take that
mine seems ok
edit. seems the pic has gone wrong. it shows the battery going up a few per cent overnight
I know but it's over the double the 2% i used to get!

I also feel the battery drain quite a lot faster. About two times faster when idle, and i see quite a lot "awake" caused by the Android System when the screen is off.
@wheilitjohnny
that must be coming from some process. I don't have such issue, it's pretty much the same as it was on 4.4.
I've not changed any apps etc since tho. That's what's annoying

[Q] What is com.android.systemui and why is it gobbling so much battery?

Since flashing Carbon ROM two nights ago, I've been seeing com.android.systemui consistently at or near the top of my battery stats screen (screen shot below). When I was on Cataclysm, I never noticed this. Is this something I should worry about/deal with?

You've only used 3,% of your battery. See what it looks like later in the day. It should be less than 5%. If it isn't then yes, something is not right. Turn location off until you need it. That week save battery.
Sent from my Nexus 5
the % used in the graph is the % used of total battery drain.
you only lost 3% total battery and 49% of that 3% was used by the system.
there is no problem as of now.
Check out lockscreen notifications if you have pocket mode on it keeps the proximity sensor on all the time and will cause a larger than normal drain.

This is very helpful. Thanks -- I'll try disabling lockscreen notifications/pocket mode.
You cannot tell anything from stats after only a few percent of battery drain. Look again after you've burned 90 percent off the battery.

It's a bug. Reboot helps some cleaning cache others. Google know about it. There's a long thread on this

Galaxy S6 920I Battery Issues - Help and Thoughts

Hey guys, first of all let me make clear that I've been through every single topic available online on these battery issues, and I have tried everything but nothing works.
I love my S6 but its battery inconsistency is driving me crazy. I've got every single topic covered:
Location services and history off
Wifi sleeping on screen off
Uninstalled and disabled every single bloatware that Samsung offers
No facebook app
Screen brightness on 10% most of the time
Tried factory resetting and wiping system cache more than 3 times already
I was stock 5.0.2 and recently flashed stock 5.1.1 via Odin hoping it would solve my battery problems but it made my issues even worse. I get 2h SOT tops, and my device usually drains 40% of its battery when I'm in bed (11pm - 7am), even with Wifi/data off and all apps closed. Battery system monitor shows a 40% drop on battery caused by "Android System", and GSAM shows the same but with special drain for "Android System - celgeofenced".
I don't feel safe rooting right now and installing Wakelock because I've read a lot of issues related to Knox violation in the current rooting methods.
Any thoughts on that? I'm really getting to a desperate bottom line here.
Thanks.
I'm on a G920i Vivo - Brazil and I was gettin same battery drain as you. Unfortunately I only solved this issue making root with CF ROOT, TWRP, flash SUPERSU, flashed the DeepSleep zip via TWRP, wipe cache/dalvik and rebooted!
EDIT.: Deep sleep is gone after 2 hours, some app is using GPSD and killing my battery :////
Could you check if you have this option in 5.1.1 ???

Are you sure? The problem is 40% draining without even touching my phone. Does it seem fair based on your usage standards? Thanks

Terrible idle battery drain!

I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on
