[Q]Nexus 5 Battery life

Hi All,
I am gonna get my Nexus 5 ( 32GB Variant ) in about 2 weeks and I've done extensive research on numerous reviews and found out that the battery life is mediocre ( in GSM Arena it says 40H on the endurance test )
Is this battery life issue easy to get over with by installing custom roms?
Thanks alot!

Lots of stuff already posted if you search.

From my experience, i get great battery life on mine running stock.
Sometimes I reboot because of a qcom-camera-something-like-that bug draining battery or whatever it is but no serious deal breaker
I had one time 1 day 14h @ 44% with light usage, wifi turned. Most of the time i do play a lot, read mangas, have whatsapp, hangout, facebook, snapchat, instagram and all these apps installed pushing notifications, It still gets me through the day easily.
I was worried about the battery when i bought it but keep in mind, even if the LG G2 has 3000 mah, it has to run all LG services and tricks like "double tap to wake up", this device is PURE Google. See it like an enormous engine with only wheels, no fancy sh*ts, it's up to you if you want to make it lightweight or heavy as ...
Anyway if you're still concerned about the battery life, get a wireless charger for 40 bucks and put it where you stay the most (desktop at work/next to you computer). You will just have to lay it down to make it charge with no efforts

I'm guessing you had the screen brightness set to its lowest.

Battery life is what you make of it. I can make my phone last 8 hours or a day and a half.
I feel like there are over a hundred threads inquiring about battery life. At least two a week.

[Q] Bad battery life- help please?

Hi there,
I bought my one plus a month ago, and am getting around 3.5 screen time.
It is disappointing as I see screenshots of people with one plus who are getting 6 -10 hours screen time.
I am on battery saver mode, not using music, whatsApp, wase games or facebook, just a little bit email and browsing.
At night it is not going down a lot, but when I start using the phone, it goes down quite quickly.
(1 percent every 2 minutes, sometimes every minute). It seems to get worse every day.
If I start using GPS or video or music, my battery will be finished by noon.
I replaced the battery, and it is the same.
Attached three screenshots. (Including the night)
Help please?
Thank you!

I share you the same feeling when I see others having impressive battery performance specially screen-on time.
I have exactly the same drain behavior of yours, when my phone in deep sleep its sleep like a baby. but when I wake it its become beast awakening.
I run 3g when I am out and wi-fi at home, also running regular apps, whatsapp,snapchat,2emails,1gmail,instagram,web browsing, auto brightness,greenify. I checked with BBS and WLD but no culprit. I am on stock rom with root for the apps, no system tuning.
So you can see my setup is like most of regular users will do but noticeable difference in term of battery performance. I have no clue

Your battery life is fine, better mine
Who has a lot of SOT usually doesn't turn off/on the screen that much. The secret to achieve a lot of SOT is making long session on the screen (and having few apps, like you). So no worries I'm at 64% now with 1 hour of SOT, but I flash updates (CM 12) everyday and wake up the phone only when I need it, with 1-2 minutes sessions.

That isn't really true, I have over 100 apps installed and I turn my screen off whenever I'm not actually using it. I'm a heavy user. I get roughly six hours of screen on time.

Hi,
Well, at least I am not the only one....
The problem is that it is getting worse every day and now I lose one percent in a minute!
Horrible! I have to charge it twice a day, and I barely use it.
I have no root, am not using any of the apps, only a little bit of browsing, and checking mails.
If I try to use waze for a half of an hour or a little bit of music (max 30min, I get only about 2 hours screen time!
It seems really poor from a brand new battery.
I have no clue what to do, or what is causing it. If anyone have suggestions, i will be glad to hear!

Are you using the stock OPO rom? because I always had a poor battery life, I had all kind of protections to keep battery life but when I saw, from 100 I had 70, it was awful, one solution I saw was to flash one custom kernel, somehow improved my battery life, but the final solution was to use a custom rom, I have experienced better battery life with 5+ roms rather than the ones with 4.x.x, maybe you should taste another android flavor and check if the battery life increases

How hard was it to change the battery? Was it soldered? Where did you get a replacement ?

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry, I don't understand much in roms ... I bought the chinese version color os, and changed it in fast boot to cm11.
My cm version is 11.0-xnph44s , android version-4.4.4

I believe this is app related. Some apps keep phones awake. I encountered this problem with my S3 because I have lots of apps. But since I made sure I only install apps I absolutely need in my oneplus, I get a fantastic battery life.

I don't have so many apps , and I installed all of them. I keep closing apps that are running on the background through the settings.
The funny thing is that it is getting worse every day.
Now my battery is going down one percent in 30-60 seconds!
I don't know what to do anymore.

Is The Nexus 5 Battery THAT Bad? Or Am I Unlucky?

When I first got my Nexus 5, I got about 3.5 hours of SOT. This is with airplane mode 24/7. Note, I still have my phone in airplane mode 24/7. I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 but before that I was getting bad battery. 5.0 I get about 2.5 hours. Now with 5.1 I got 2 hours. Barely.
I have used the troubleshooting battery life thread and searched around, tried custom ROMs, kernels, everything. Not a thing helps. BBS and Wake lock Detector show absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
I've had my phone a little over a year now, and its just deteriorated. Is it just my phone? Bad battery perhaps? Or is everyone getting this awful battery?
I know what everyone is going to say to, it depends on usage. And it does, but to an extent. I'm a light user, I'd say. Greenify installed, I use Kik sometimes, little camera here and there and messenger to talk to people. That's literally it. If I have the phone sit there and do nothing I get good battery, well, better. But it seems switching apps or touching it at all hurts battery. I've tried App Ops, and location is off and sync. Literally every piece of advice I have tried.
So just a general question, how is everyone's battery holding up? It is really that bad? Or am I just unlucky. Nexus 6 has better battery and bigger screen but average battery. Which is sad. I think its software and bad battery related.

You definitely have a problem there the nexus 5 should last you much more than that even on lollipop

That's what I'm thinking. It used to be such a good phone, nothing is draining battery and nothing out of the ordinary is draining... :/ I think it is just a bad, used up battery.

Well you did look into replacing it with a G2 battery, you'll lose QI charging but have a bigger battery

It's not just you. In fact I'm very close to just going back to kitkat. I get no wakelocks, my phone shows as in deep sleep and just today my phone came off charge at 11am and was dead by around 5pm with half hour screen on time. That's just ridiculous! It was showing as deep sleep the entire time.
I've tried everything. I'm 80% sure lollipop is the problem because I know a lot of people with the same issues. Anything Google related I've turned off and I still can't shake this battery drain

If you're using airplane mode then you should get more, I get above 4 hours with adaptive brightness and a signal.
Sounds like a bad battery or something isn't right software wise
Feel free to posts stats and stuff, maybe have a look at what the times are for your cpu frequencies

I may post those stats, because I'd like to know. Me and so many others are getting lousy battery but you get this amazing battery. I'm starting to believe 80% of Nexus 5's just got awful stock factory batteries...

If you decide to go back, please let me know if things improve. I'm with you in that, me, you, and others are getting just awful battery. I don't understand it, deep sleep and nothing is causing any drain... But like the guy above, he is getting 4 hours with a signal? It has to be maybe we have bad batteries... It is just awful.

Definitely something wrong. I've got a launch week device putting it at almost 18 months old. I leave absolutely everything turned on, even have Google Fit tracking steps, Facebook app, and a couple games. I have also overheated the battery several times during bootloops. Just today I finished out a charge cycle with just over 3 and a half hours SOT, including 2 hours Bluetooth music, and just under an hour of wired headphone music using ViPER4Android with a couple options known to drain more battery.
I'd look into Better Battery Stats for some hidden kernel wakelocks.

I've tried literally everything and nothing is showing up. Nothing... Bluetooth music to my stereo drains batter horribly. 1 song per percent. Maybe I as well as others have bad batteries and you're just lucky... Are you on 5.1? It literally makes no sense...

I came from a Galaxy S3. The Nexus 5 battery isn't that great, but your description sounds like you're unlucky. I went from Kitkat to Lollipop on the N5 and the battery life was definitely better. Perhaps try the Elemental X kernel?

I'm running CM12(5.0.2).

The only thing keeping me from trying to replace my battery is that there are occasional days right after a reboot where everything work as is should. (I.E., 3-4 Hr SoT, Bluetooth streaming 30min or so, 16-24hr total time). After that first day it goes to **** and I get maybe 1-2 hrs SoT and 12-16hrs total time. I'm just waiting on 5.1.1 at this point. In the mean time, it just lives on a wireless charger if I can access one at home or work easily.

If I'm a baseline (I'm probably not) then you certainly seem to have a problem.
I do seem to get marginally worse battery life on Lollipop, but still nothing to complain about - considering. Generally I get 3.5+ SOT over a 14+hour day (from 85% as I almost never let it run lower than 15-10%). That's with every service turned on (including precise location & always listening), and I normally listen to at least 2-3 hours of podcasts (accelated playback + skip silences, both processor-heavy) and some Tune-In radio & Play Music. Playback is usually a split between BT & the phone's internal speaker. My normal usage is almost all on Wi-Fi. 3G can be disappointing & will sometimes eat through my battery significantly faster.

To be honest kit Kat is the nexus 5s Prime os I doubt it's going to get better than that

You guys have to remember the jump from JellyBean to KitKat was nowhere near as expansive as the jump from KitKat to Lollipop and Google spent a year refining KitKat to 4.4.4. We're less than half a year into Lollipop. Yes, Lollipop should be in a much better state than what it is but obviously Google fell short of that mark.

my N5 also over 1 year, light usage but even with 2hrs SOT I still have at least 40% battery
p.s. wifi and bluetooth is always on

Okay you guys (and hopefully others) take a look at this battery. I did play Clash of Clans somewhat today and got den m decent battery but yeah. Any thoughts? Bluetooth streaming to my stereo still used 2 percent in 10 minutes. I'm adding more to a new post. I think I may have a bad battery still because even though it said 98 it went to 99 for a brief minute. I see messenger and Line during battery some, and cause wake issues but FB is greenified. Messenger isn't... Also the other apps like Google Calendar, and the Google App itself cause battery drain, and it shows Android OS in battery under screen.

More screenshots hopefully adding

Phone is hating me

I do suck at math, but 2% per 10 minutes of bt streaming doesn't really sound that awful. That seems to work out to 8+ hrs of active usage. Most of my battery drain on streaming audio comes from the apps themselves - Most of my listening is of podcasts where I'm playing at 1.5x speed +skip silence which are both processor-heavy. TuneIn is pretty battery-hungry (and annoyingly buggy!) as well. Play Music seems a bit easier on my battery, but I'm mostly listening to the non-music apps & I probably don't do much better than 2% per 10(ish) minutes a lot of the time.
It's fairly common to see your battery level jump up or down a point or two once in a while. Others can better explain this technically, but I gather it's just refining the estimate of where you are at the moment.
*Edit* Looking at your screenshots, I don't see the app that you're streaming on. ?

Post your Battery life here

Lets see that monster

As i posted on my first impressions:
Here we are, my first full battery cycle . I'm sure you will get better SOT than me, my gps usage was about 3h , spotify , bluetooth , android wear, high brightness , apps updates , downloads etc.. and this is what i got.
I notice you can get better results, why? Well, with my one plus one and my usage i got 4h of SOT, and most people could get easily 6h , with my SG6 edge i get around 3h SOT and most people got 4h / 4.30h , those are my daily results, with my normal usage statistics , if i wanted i could make it better, way better.. but thats not the case.

That's an impressive result. 5 hour SoT on 5.5' is great nevertheless and you claim that the phone was under heavy usage.
I need to ask though; have you done any Greenify/Powernap/Amplify? I would guess no as I doubt you are even rooted but your wakelock status seems impressive; almost nothing while the screen was off. That means the software optimization is really good.
BTW, X Play does not come with a Turbo charger, right? How long does it last to fully charge with its own charger?

Maybe after 4-5 days of usage, you may start getting better SOT? I thought it could easily touch 6-7 hours, nevertheless this is great.

telegram drains so much i just unistall it

It really is impressive, consider i'm using with almost full bright . No settings for battery saving, no greenify nothing, just my usually apps . It comes with turbo charger , and it charges fast on it, but when using with a car charger or a power bank , it take forever to charge.

Damn, not bad.

Well for me.. this was perfect since I was always charging my phone (HTC M8) and I hated the camera in general so this is a huge upgrade. I think I charged it once for like an hour or so because it had went down to 34% and I wanted to keep it anywhere between 40-80%. I haven't had to use it for too much- I generally just use it to browse FB, Instagram (haven't installed yet- only on the chrome ver), messenger and now have a launcher. Still pretty good because it lasted 2 days (34% when I wanted to charge it) easily and also said it had more than a day left of charge.

I don't have my batter screen short but My phone's batter was superb & it almost used to run for one day.

I did well yesterday

First day - on wifi webrowsing with crome, facebook, youtube + 2 hour mx player - I1m satisfied with this

First full cycle, everything turned on 100% of time (wifi, 4g, gps, location). Also, brightness level set around 70% with adaptive brightness turned on.
I noticed some wakelocks and Goggle Play services sometimes runs in background without reason.

Battery really annoys me...

Ive already been using this phone since the first day you could buy it in Spain and yes, I know you can charge it in 40~ minutes, actually if you are at home there is no problem, all cool, but ive been leaving home two days in a row at 9:00, I put it in 60hz FHD and at 15:30 my battery already ran off... Yes, I use it, I use bluetooth, youtube, soundcloud, camera, etc... But I come from a One Plus 7 Pro and with 90hz config I could easily leave home at 9:00 and still have battery life at 23:00 or even 00:00 with a similar use. I really love all the other aspects of the phone, but this one screws my whole experience. Im really thinking about buying one plus 8T pro or iphone 12/12 pro when it comes out and sell this phone, I realised battery life is way too important for me, and I know I could use a portable battery to charge it in the street, but come on... Not gonna carry that in the pocket all the time. I'd like to know your impressions about this topic guys, thank you so much.

Mmm using it? Or in the pocket and looking it barely 3 or 4 times, man, i dont want to doubt it but sounds strange to me... Ive been looking for people screen times and no one gets that many screen time hours at 120hz QHD+... You have brightness at the minimum maybe? What firmware version you got? Thank you

Battery life is not good I would be honest. Never lasted me a day if I play games now even a half day.

Oppo have done amazing working tuning the display, far more superior than the OnePlus 8 Pro, I leave my house at 10am & return at 6-7pm, consistently with 20%+ left, on QHD, 120hz, using social media apps, banking, NFC, Bluetooth, music & 5G on at all times (other than when WiFi is available)...
In short battery life is amazing for me, Oppo nailed the optimization :good:

Awful battery life
Oppo needs to improve the battery life of Oppo find X2 pro ASAP !!!!
Max 4 hours of SOT is really bad !
I reported this problem to the German oppo customer service one week ago but still no response !
The battery life of OnePlus 8 pro after the latest update has improved the battery life (6-8 hours of SOT).
Oppo just do something you're selling a smartphone that is more expensive than iPhone pro max !!!!

I'm a super heavy user that plays many games, even heavy 3D games like Mortal Kombat Mobile for many hours, while playing videos over YouTube Vanced picture in picture sometimes, too.
No matter what I do, even when I brainlessly put the brightness as high as Mt. Everest, where it would burn every vampire to death and constantly playing Mortal Kombat Mobile over 5ghz WLAN, the phone keeps its accu power. 4:14h of constant playing MK (99% SOT) was the worst one losing 71% accu and that was with death ray burning brightness instead of normal or low brightness (which is actually 'normal' brightness on this display).
The longest run with heavy usage (37% SOT) was 18:05h where it lost 97% accu and the longest run with normal usage (24% SOT) was 18:29h where it lost 55% accu... That's with Global latest version (2025.11A24), standard settings, dark mode, location on, always-on-display, bluetooth+NFC off, energy saving @20%, 120hz+3k, Microsoft SwiftKey with black theme and using accu killers like Facebook, graphic-heavy games, YouTube and stuff...
So whatever you do, you are doing it wrong or something you installed is keeping your phone awake, when your phone can't handle a few hours without using it... Maybe you are simply 'think' you handle it right, but using it in an extreme way like graphic-heavy gaming with full brightness on top of that and think that's normal use. Normal use is sometimes phone someone, write a few messages every hour, look on the clock, play a game for maybe 30 minutes or searching for something special and reading a few news - that's 'normal usage' that doesn't really puts the battery in stress. Even when you are a long runner that writes 12 hours in one action (like I do), your display won't mess up the battery and you have enough battery to get over the day...
What you should do:
>Lower the display brightness (somewhere around the sun in the bar is 'normal' brightness and it really gets dark first around 5% brightness in the night)
>use dark mode for all apps
>put Facebook and Instacrap in normal state - especially Facebook is well known for killing battery life, while not using it (apps>facebook>don't start automatically + don't allow in background). These apps getting worse and worse from year to year.
>no automatic updates in Google Play (developers are just making frequent updates to stay in the top list of Google Play, that's why it doesn't make sense to have it on auto-update, because it kills your battery, overstresses electric facilities and never touch a running system if it ain't getting faster or better. Only update when something is 'not' working!)
>always charge your battery between 20-70% if you want it to live 'always' like Bon Jovi and Erasure, only make a full charge when you 'really' need it and never charge over night. Better: install an app like 'AccuBattery' that helps you with that (since the phone has 2 accus its normal max mah will be around 2055mah, but will function normal like it has the double).
>take off Bluetooth and NFC - they are accu killers and you don't need it anyway, while an open NFC is the best way to let you pay everyones bills, when you are in the city and hold their device near your phone. Just use NFC when you are temporarily need it.

get 4 hours SOT at least an hour gaming. And after 14 hours of the day i still have 40% left. I reckon it's one of your apps causing the problem. Install GSAM and use ADB to grant it access and find out what the problem is.

How can I grant permission via adb? It doesn't seem to work with the app's commands. Adb Devices indicates that it is connected, but the commands result in an error message. Must I be special activate in the developer settings, except usb debugging?

Disable permission monitoring in developers settings.

I get this error message, despite new adb drivers

Now the ad is like that?!

A restart fixed the problem, thx

Oppo needs to improve the battery life of Oppo find X2 pro ASAP !!!!
Max 4 hours of SOT is really bad !
I reported this problem to the German oppo customer service one week ago but still no response !
The battery life of OnePlus 8 pro after the latest update has improved the battery life (6-8 hours of SOT).
Oppo just do something you're selling a smartphone that is more expensive than iPhone pro max !!!!

I have already contacted oppo I have to send the phone to the service it will take around 2 weeks to be repaired. A replacement would be the best but oppo isn't apple !
Another issue with the phone is that under the sun the fingerprint sensor is unusable.
I think I'll go back to OnePlus 8 pro or even to iPhone pro max. Its battery is amazing!!!

I just uninstalled facebook, who cares, no one uses facebook nowadays lul, I never use it, only instagram, thank you all.

Personally I get between 6.5 and 8hrs SOT (6.5 if gaming and 8 if not)
I use FHD, 120Hz, Auto Brightness.
I have fine tuned settings, turned off wifi and bluetooth scanning, have location off if not used, same with BT and Data.
As for the fingerprint reader, it's pretty good but as like all Oneplus phones with the same scanner, it's hit or miss sometimes.
Therefore I use face unlock which works with Google pay and works 100% of the time even with my face mask on.
Now if only I could get a decent Gcam and June security patch.

both urnyx and arnova work just fine
and June Patch is available for a month you just need to use a VPN to Germany (or UK can't remember)

Coming from a Xiaomi Mi 10 with its 4700mah battery and 1080p 90hz screen, the battery life on the oppo has been abysmal.
I use auto brightness and I'm indoors 90% of the time so my brightness is really low.
The same usage on the Mi 10 would give me 10 hours SOT but the Oppo barely gives 5 hours SOT. This usage is mainly Google play books, social media, and Google Chrome.

Sounds like a rogue app or faulty device, I'd recommend getting in touch with Oppo for a replacement
