It is known culprit of battery drainer, I guess you have to live with it until you buy another device with a bigger battery

I tried a lot of ROM, but none have a battery life equivalent to 12.1 CM CAF (perhaps due to the kernel caf)

[Q] Best screen on time with OPO thus far

I can live with the CM software bugs for now but I really want a good idea of what battery life is like for average use.
What has been your best screen on time?
With Franco kernel I've gotten 6-7 hours
Sent from my One using XDA Free mobile app
About 5 hours in almost a day. Could probably get better but it doesn't seem to idle as nicely as it should for this soc.
5.5 hrs sot with 39 hrs before charging.

This was my first full discharge from 100% after getting the phone.
Transmitted via Bacon
1000% stock! No custom kernel, no root, etc. Keep in mind the battery is at 11%. It maybe has another 45 minutes to an hour of juice left.

Signal loss (100%) and phone thinks it is not charging at the same time

Hey guys,
I love my nexus 5 and I have it since it launched.
But, since today, it has been acting weird.
Say I come out of a fresh reboot. It will work well for like 5 minutes, then it will lose connection to the phone carrier and say it is not charging. It will stay like that until I reboot the phone.
I was using 4.4.2 first, with xposed and some modules. The I thought I could just wipe it and it would work, which had no effect. After that, I tried installing the new cyanogenmod 11S port for the nexus 5, same issue.
Now I flashed the stock 4.4.4 rom from android oficial website, still no luck.
What should I do? I have no use for a phone like this!
Thank you guys!
I've tried flashing the radio zip for the 4.4.4 and it still the same... :/
I am getting desperate now... might need to buy another phone, which, ofc, I really did not want to do.
Which carrier? That is weird.

I live in Brazil, the carrier is VIVO.
Wierd, right?
The only guess I have now is a defective sim card, but that would not explain why it thinks it is not recharging.
At least, the recharge problem seems to be not much of a problem, since it still recharges now even saying it is not...
Is it in LTE only mode? Bad phone?

I actually did not know there is an LTE only mode.
How do I check for that?
It was set to 4G preferable, but there was no such thing as exclusive option, so I am confused.

Well, I am still with no signal at all.
Whenever I can, I will pay a visit to one of the carrier's shop and try a new sim card.
Let's hope it works!

anytime you do an update give it a day or two before determining how the battery is.. it burns through some doing optimizations on the first load
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
i can also say the edge screen isn't giving that multi touch palm issue any more. Im glad to see that fixed as well.
I'm afraid to do the update since they say it cannot be rolled back
if you are looking for any root in the future i would suggest holding back from updates
I updated and so far cpuspy says deep sleep instantly as soon as screen is off and dont see any wakelocks so far. I disabled junk and uninstalled stuff I dont need and removed notifications for any games(I just check my games and weather manually). So far no android system drain at all in 15m on battery. I updated 30min ago then fast charged.

Battery has been good since updating this morning. I normally get 9 SOT. I'm down to 83 percent and already have 2 hours SOT. Can't wait to see how this pans out in a few days!
Has anyone checked if this update unlocked the bootloader?
That first update knocked out 2.4ghz wireless reliability, I wonder if this will fix it! *fingers crossed*
My battery and camera have been great! I haven't had a low-light picture that was amazing yet, but that's not their fault!
Hooray! They fixed the screen too sensitive already. And I feel it run smoother now.

Agreed. This was my biggest pain point. What a relief that its fixed!
Screen sensitivity fixed here as well. It so much easier typing now. Also my palm resting on the edge no longer makes the screen go unresponsive.
Android System battery drain also fixed.
I'm torn between accepting this update and holding off for root possibilities.

I'm in the same boat. All these reports of improved battery life and smoothness/camera/touch screen makes it harder to wait. I figure if you're content with the battery life then just wait it out. I hope potential root would yield better results than any update [emoji41]

Those are mixed results WiFi + 4G/3G. 9hrs SOT isn't a big deal.

The option does seem to be missing from the Wallpaper menu. I just set one that I downloaded from the Play Store though and it works fine. Just have to open the app after you download it and set it from there.
I couldn't wait lol, my phone is so much snappier now ??

Do u have any kind of Bluetooth problems after u reboot the phone. ?
Installed Nougat 7.0 with Odin after download through SAMFIRM. No problem whatsoever encountered yet, everything works flawlessly. Phone seems little faster. After 4 hours of use also battery use seems little better compared to MM.

No, everything's working fine. I didn't fresh install. But I did have some battery issues. Device idle and cell stand by are the main battery drainer.

Maybe you already know, but I wanted to mention in case you didn't. After months of looking into cell standby battery drain, the ONLY way I can minimize it down to basically nothing is to be in airplane mode and using wifi/wifi calling. Sad to see that cell standby drain is still an issue with 7.0 though.
Thanks for the info, I've tried mostly everything but I still couldn't fix the issue.... As of right now I'm on 25% with device idle by being 8% drained about 225 mAh and cell standby being 5% drained 149 mAh.
It might be that I didn't do a fresh install... Since I haven't heard anyone having issues with battery. So I might factory reset in a bit.
