Your battery is fine. 2 and half hours of gaming on full brightness with connections active is about average. Nothing wrong with your phone

naa i think ur voice calls draw a lot of battery, i dont use my phone too much for calls ( all though phones are for it primarily ) depends on individuals usage and also signal stregnth.
6 hours I would say pretty good...

Well the screenshot tells us nothing. You'd have to give us all the battery screen shots. But from what I can see, 14 minutes on battery, a lot of screen use and some gaming... 3% isn't bad at all. You can't really judge anything on 15 minutes though.

While the N5 is one seriously amazing device, one thing it is not known for is having great battery life. You'll get used to it.

I already know that about the N5 battery, but i think it's particular problem with my phone.
You're still not showing all the screen shots. Your battery is fine. Look at the screen usage % of the other screen shot. Much less than yours
Here's the deal, if you use the screen, your battery goes down. Nothing new here.

Only 2 things affect screen battery use.
1) the amount of time you use the screen
2) the brightness of the screen.
So turn it down or turn it off.
Playing games will drop your battery fast. No way around it. ?

You can see they didn't play a game in their screen shot, where as you spent some time playing clash of clans. Gaming will always drain your battery quickly and this is not a unique behavior with the Nexus 5.
Also the higher frames per second your phone can achieve the quicker your battery will drain. This makes an interesting situation as once your phone gets hot and throttles down it will actually last longer as the frames get lower. If you were to limit the FPS or CPU clock speed you could actually game for longer.
Usage, Settings, and Signal determine battery life. This would be an example of how different usage will obtain different battery life.
so i perfer to have a battary case, this phone battary so tinty
Yeah i got that, thanks a lot guys!

Battery charging by itself

Hello! Last night my Nexus 5 was charging by itself overnight, i bought the phone second hand 2 days ago(the phone have 4 months of use). What is the problem? My battery life is pretty good, i'm on completly stock rom unrooted. Also 10 min ago my phone charged from 5% to 6% by itself.
It is the battery stats recalibrating. It is weird because what it does is estimate how much each thing should draw not how much is actually drawn or something. It is a weird calculation and is why they had Miscellaneous drain in the preview build.

I call BS. You have to be rooted to break the laws of thermodynamics. :silly:
when you use the phone, it uses battery. when the battery is used, it estimates its use. sometimes itll drop the battery percent lower than it should. so what it does is raise the battery percent slowly, until it gets back to the percent it used to be. this has happened on every single android phone since the g1 was released in 2008. so, you arent special :silly:

[Q] Help: galaxy s6 battery drain

I get my galaxy s6 5 days ago.
it's seem that battery is drain very fast
For example from 100% to 57% battery in 4 hr and 54 min.
In this time i talk 1hr, 2hr of screen usage.
I use WhatsApp and nothing else just average usage.
That does not make sense
Does anyone have an idea or a solution?
Thanks

Youre most likely having a deepsleep issue. Check the deepsleep thread in the general section.

2hrs screen time 1hr calls and rest of time whatsapp is more than enough to get your battery down to 57%
i get a battery life of 1 day but my screen time is 3 hrs and hardly a few minutes of calls
but in continuous usage the battery life shouldnt be more than 8 hours ! Its totally normal!
Looks like you have switched form nokia

Why am I getting such a poor battery life?

Hello xda community
Just bought this phone few days ago(brand new) and I'm experiencing bad battery life(at least for me).
So, I installed those apps: Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Sofascore, Deezer, Uber and of course GSam Battery. These are apps that i've always used and never had problems with them in a term of battery life.
First major problem is idle. So, what the hell, first night went to sleep with 100%, woke up 7 hours later with 80%, so I went into settings and disabled wifi always on and the other night it was better but still bad, went to sleep with 100 and woke up with 87%...
Second problem is SOT, I've been using phone for messaging mostly, some browsing and taking pictures and that's it, only on WIFI and NO GAMING at all and right now I have freaking 3 hours SOT and only 26% of juice left which is awful for me. I used to have that SOT with Galaxy S6 and that phone is known to have very very VERY bad battery life..Forget to mention: loacation off, data off, bluetooth off
Do you have some advice? What can be so power-thirsty on my device?
I will post screenshots with all my instaled apps and all the battery stats
.
In other terms this phone is a beast even in 2017. Performance is even better that on my dad's S7, camera is really good, I kinda like EMUI but battery is really starting to be a porblem for me so please help me if you can. Thank you very much.
Here are pics
Day #3
7 AM 100%
Data on, wifi off, blutooth off, location off
3 PM 30% with 1,5 SOT,
Can someone please help I'm really getting bad battery life..

Install BetterBatteryStats to know more what's eating your battery.
Update after 20 days of usage:
Most awsome thing is idle.. i turn on airplane mode when i go to sleep, wifi is on(but set to never stay active), and after 8 hours of sleepong, literally 0% of juice is used. Amazing. And through the day, when I have data turned on, i check my phone 2 hours later and maybe 1-2% is used :good:
SOT is always different, depends a lot(A LOT) on usage, from 2,5 (data on, bluetooth for headphones, camera,maybe location turned on sometimes etc) to 5 hours (wifi only, bluetooth location and data turned off). I think battery life is okay, what makes it great is that 20-30 minutes is enough to charge a lot of juice with quick charging

Sorry my post is confusing..
So, average 4 hours, but if I tend to use a phone heavily than not more than 2.5-3 hours. When I say heavily than I mean data on all the time, brightness above 60%, some bluetooth connection, lots of social media and browsing the internet.
When I'm at home, wifi on and data off, brightness 30% cca, I can get around 5 hours max.
Is that okay considering your sot?
The first sets of SoTs you posted are unusual. The last seems more on point, but a little low.
I average around 4-6 hours SoT which is average for the device except if you really crack down on all battery consuming apps and services.
4-5 hours for me consists of maybe 2 hours on mob.data and the rest on wifi, location on and a few minutes of gaming/maps/camera.(Brightness on auto, so pretty high most of the time)
If factory reset didn't help, you might want to try to manually update your system either via OTA or through some of the methods found in guides.
Generally I'd say something isn't quite right.
Though you might want to add your model number emui version

This one is a little older but i remember trying to simulate heavy use with this one, mob. data is on when wifi is off, it just doesn't show because of the skin.
I also have one with 6h and 17% left with mostly wifi so that's that
Edit:
Oh hang on, actually this one was the two days and barely used one.
Well you get the picture i guess

So here is my classic day. Awful battery life today..
At least in my opinion.
Unplugged at 10 AM, data on and wifi off, used basic apps like Whatsapp Instagram Chrome.. listening music with blietooth headphones for one hour apx. (Deezer-but offline!). Didn't really use my phone a lot today.
7 PM only 2 hours SOT with 35% juice left.. like I said, barely 2,5 hours of SOT I can get with data on..
I uploaded screenshots of my battery life, my EMUI version and all my apps installed.
Can someone figure out why my battery lofe is so awful..
Can't install betterbatterystats cause I don't wanna root my phone yet.
Thanks for advices.
