Anybody else notice the dose feature only seems to work after a reboot. I had my Nexus 5 on all night on my night side , woke up and checked morning and dose hadn't kicked in all night while I was a sleep. I did a reboot and put it back on my shelf went downstairs had my breakfast and got Sorted took about an hour came back to my phone and checked my battery stats and dose had kicked in. Does anyone else think dose should kick in as soon as you turn your phone of. It seems pointless to me how it works. It's hit or miss on my phone.
It works perfectly fine for me even without reboot.
How did you know it didn't worked at the first place?
You can see in your battery stats in the settings. There is gaps on the battery chart, that's dose when you see the gaps.
Here's mine after a reboot last night.
I'm going to fully charge my phone now and take it off my charger and I'll lay it down on my bed side and I bet you dose won't kick in when it's been sat there. Last night dose kicked in straight away about 20 minutes after I took it off charge after I rebooted my device.
Here's with no reboot and of charger fully charged and Dose doesn't even kick in once.

That's not accurate. I'm not sure what the gaps are, but Doze isn't it. For example, in that gap in your picture the battery still dropped by a decent amount.
A better way to see if it works is to tap on the graph to see when the phone is awake, etc. If you see large gaps without being awake, that's Doze in action.
Doze needs time to set in. You can't expect Doze to kick in if you're using the phone a lot during the day. Your second graph was during the day and it looks like you use it a lot throughout the day. You can't expect much there.
OTOH, if you're seeing a drop in battery while the phone sits for hours at night, then you've likely got a wake lock preventing Doze from working.
I notice my phone Dozing when I push the power button and it takes a second to turn on. When it's not Dozing, it turns on immediately.

First day of a new job so I put my phone on a Work profile using PhoneWeaver (paid). Had the phone vibrate a few times telling me I had emails, and then one last time telling me the battery was almost dead, then it died. Had 6 hours of life out of it, not even joking.
Once I got to the car to charge it and head home, the phone went into the display where the battery icon shows up and the phone is off, but flashed a yellow warning triangle with a red thermometer next to it on the right side of the battery. Wish I had a camera on me to take a picture, but I immediately pulled the battery door off and placed it on an A/C vent on the car, and the phone died again since it wasn't connected to the charger anymore.
When I finally got the phone home and charging, I went to the battery status screen to see what was draining the battery, and even though it was showing what was going on since the power cycle, it showed the Display was accountable for 94% - still not convinced, I went to my PhoneWeaver settings to see if the Work profile had Wifi or GPS on the whole day, and it didn't have anything out of the ordinary. Only thing I can come up with is that when the emails and texts came in and I didn't check them, my phone unlocked in my pocket and left the screen on the whole day.
Has anyone else seen the overheating / temp warning screen on the battery status level display when the phone is off? What caused it in your situation? I have a hard time believing that if I wear heavy khaki shorts as I've been doing since I got the phone on the 19th, the phone won't unlock and in turn won't overheat, but when I wear dress pants on my first day of work at a new job, the phone unlocks, runs the display all day, and my lightweight slacks make the phone overheat????
sorry for the long narrative, I just wanted to give all the details of what happened in case anyone has any advice or similar experiences.... thanks in advance!
never, i recommend restoring factory settings and using it as is for a day and see if this happens again. It could be something you installed. If you have a similar experience, return your phone and get a replacement.
make sure they replace your battery incase it got fked from the overheating caused by the phone.
well, day two of work and my phone is just now at 20 percent, 14 hours later, lots of texts and emails and everything else
I have been having problems with my battery life pretty much since I have had this phone. I downloaded spare parts app to give me some insight because I have also noticed several times phone seems warm even when screen has been off for some time.
As of right now today, to give an example, my phone has been unplugged for the last 10hours and I only have 44% battery left. Says display is responsible for 71% of battery use yet screen has only been on for 44min of that time (and I have the brightness turned all the way down). According to spare parts "other usage" my "running" time is cause for 35% of batter use at over 3hours.
With these things in consideration I feel that there is something that is stopping the phone from properly sleeping due to the phone being warm at times display has been off for a while and the contrast between screen on and running time. Partial wake usage doesn't show much running under it as most listed items have only a sliver of a bar showing.
Can someone please lend me some guidance on how to further troubleshoot this problem?
i mean that type of battery consumption doesnt seem irregular to me...im at close to 10 hours for the day and have 59% left.
Are you in a shaky signal area? Thats one reason my phone gets warm. especially if its a fringe area where it cant decide between a 3G signal or 4G signal.
In spare parts there is a option for partial wake lock. If something is stuck at 100%, then you know you yuo have a rogue app thats causing your phone not to sleep
But can you confirm it being normal to see 34% time running under other usage settings for spare parts? Partial wake usage as said doesn't show much keeping a wake lock going.
As for signal, not too sure, very rarely if ever see a 3g change over. Is usually at 4g and occassionally hitting edge.
WOW, you get that good of battery out of yours? that seems epic haha, i get 3-4 hours tops.. i mean i abuse it, but still..
I charge mine at night. Ran it from 7am to 12am and it was at 34%.
Yeah see...7am to 12am and 34% remaining? No way I get that.
If it werent for the results I'm posting regarding "running" percentage from spare parts other usage and the screen on time I would just accept it as a phone deemed to have bad battery life, but it seems to me like something is going on and I guess I'm looking for someone to confirm or dismiss my suspicions.
Maybe I'm also a little spoiled coming off my G2 that was rooted running CM Rom and CPU ramping/cut down which in combination gave me, under the same amount of use, a situation where I was getting home at night and still having 40-50% battery left in comparison to the 15% I commonly see now.

once some custom kernels come out that let you uv/uc/oc then i would say you can expect the same type of results..i just went on a trip with a friend who has a g2 and he was constantly crying about his battery dying, (stock), where as I only had to charge mine on average 1.5 times a day with moderate to heavy usage. I find this battery phenomenal compared to all the other android devices ive owned and tested
damn!
i charge mine every other day.. hehehe i dont abuse it or anything though.. just regular internet every few minutes or so.. i have the BETA juicedefender installed guess that helps a lot. data is off when the screen is off, set it to agressive..
here is the app hope it helps...
I noticed the same problem,i brought this phone on saturday and was very impressed with the battery until yesterday night I noticed the same thing, my phone was at 50% and I had it sleeping then I get the battery low notification 10 minutes later and the back of the phone was real hot. This can't be normal cuz I have the same apps installed from 2 days ago and I was using the phone heavily even using mobile ap and still didn't have this problem, if you guys find a solution please share it with me.
Ok I have searched and not found anything like this yet so I am going to ask. I know the phone has battery problems all around for a lot of people. Mine seems to be fine when it is on. It can sit and idle powered on all day locked and stay at full charge. It runs about 10 hours with minimal use and maybe 8 hours with some data use and a few calls and texts. Now I am experiencing a wired problem. When I go to work we cannot have cell phones. I leave my phone in my locker and power it off. After my 12 hour shift is up at work I come back to the phone with a dead battery? What could be causing this? And has anyone else noticed this issue?
defective battery? pull the battery and see if it still does it. If it does, gotta be a defective battery.. if it doesn't do it when pulled, you're not shutting off the phone maybe?
Yesterday I tried leaving the battery out. I took the battery out and let it sit 12 hours and it still had full charge when I put it back in. When I go to work I long press on the power/lock button and choose Power off then I watch it shut down and it just dies before I come back. I wish I could watch it the whole time. Today I left the phone off for around 6 hours and came back and it was fine though. Maybe it gets turned on some how at work. I have no idea. Or when I go to power it on it is just the issue where the phone isn't reading battery % correctly and it just says 0%
Seems like a battery driver issue or a defective battery? definitely call t-mobile and check if it's the battery. I've had some issues as well, but not that bad.
Weird.
So the phone powers off after you turn the screen on and it won't come back on? Try putting the phone in airplane mode.
Also, I'm assuming you are running the stock roms?
Might also want to check into a battery monitor to see if any 1 thing is pulling it down.
I think it might just be the battery driver. Sounds like the phone is in suspend so it doesn't power off properly until the screen is turned on and is revived, updating the battery % status, seeing 0%, and turning off.
CM7 fixed the wonky battery issue a few nights ago. Right now, I think a current CM based rom is the best bet as it has most of the drivers fixed. I'ved used mine pretty heavily today, unplugged at 8am and I just got a 15% battery warning at 11:30pm. It will usually last until I go to bed at midnight but I might want to play with it some more.
Well, this was interesting... Since day 1, I have had great battery life and have not experienced what everyone else has been experiencing.. An occassional lock-up/reboot, but nothing major.
A couple of weeks ago, I switched to a backup battery (andida). Things have been going well w/ that battery. Yesterday, I updated cwm.. While the andida battery was out, I decided to switch back to the stock battery for a while. Then, the following items took place all within a few hours of use, which I have not experienced.. ever before:
- Battery temp running high.. Andida constantly hanging around 22.2 - 23.2. Stock was hitting around 43 until i rebooted the phone, then dropped to 40. It is currently running at 36.
- 2 shutdowns. I could not boot the phone past the LG logo after the shutdown. Was able to boot into CWM though > went to shutdown > tried to boot, same thing. Had to pull the battery in order for it to boot.
- Received a phone call, answered, but the phone kept ringing during the entire phone conversation.
- 2 screen lockups. Could slide the unlock, get the haptic feedback, but that was it. It would not unlock. Had to reboot.
- 1 black screen of death? Total black screen with the task bar displayed. Was able to go into settings, pull down the task bar, etc. Background was blacked out. Reboot, fixed.
- Can not get gps. Was driving for 5min trying to get a GPS lock, nothing. Opened up GPS test and not a single satellite showed up in the list.
- Finally... and worst of all. Last night I plug in the phone for a couple of hours. As I'm going to bed, I disconnect the usb from it.. and take a glance to see where it charged to - 100%. I go to bed at around 1:30am. I wake up at 7:30a, turn on the screen of the phone, and it gives low battery warning. It's at 2%. I reboot the phone to make sure. It's at 1%.
So idk.. maybe something was stuck running. I'll find out here shortly after this charge is done.. but I am seeing a major difference in the operation of the phone after putting the stock battery back in. I had not experienced this when I was running the stock battery in the past. (I had an occasional lockup/reboot.. but not to this scale.. and I had always had fantastic battery life. Every single time I unplugged before bed and had 100%, I would have 98% when I woke up).
Suggestions? Changes were updating to the new CWM 4 and putting the stock battery back in. Running Bionix RC1..which I have been running for a while. I'll let this sucker charge up and see what it does. Maybe I should wipe the batt stats?
yeah wipe the batt stats. possibly try cm7 its really stable now. i know it doesnt have the a2dp but every else works. i would say another kernel also faux's or morific work fine. use setcpu if your going to oc. if you choose to flash another i would do a complete wipe of everything then install so hopefully the problems wont pop back up in the new flash. i read in one of the thread that if your battery is dated 3/2011 it will have issues but the 4/2011 or whatever will have less reboot and freezes issues may wanna try getting a replacement if you wanna stick with bionix until krylon does an update.
The andida battery doesn't have a temp sensor, so it's worthless for testing temperatures.
well, idk.. who knows what the crap happened. I charged to 79% and unplugged. 2.5hrs later, I'm still at 72%. That's around 3% an hr. Last night was 17%/hr.. Something happened last night.. Man, I'd love to know what took place.
Either I had an app going wild all night, or the battery really never charged.. and the 100% was deceptive. It's just nuts how all of these probs all of a sudden surfaced right after cwm 4 and putting the stock battery back in. They never surfaced b4 on the same ROM and with the same battery that I used for weeks and weeks.
O'well....

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
You should wipe battery stats when doing any major rom change (stock to custom or between different roms).
Battery will always be wonky the first time before a full charge/discharge on the rom unless it is 100% and battery stats are wiped.
Typically what I do (on CM7), is when I wake up the phone is at 100%. I download the latest nightly while I'm in the shower. Jump out, it starts to flash. When its done and booted up, I wipe stats then unplug the phone and go to work.
I don't always wipe stats. But with all of the battery tweaks and fixes he's done, I will occasionally.
I very rarely ever completely turn my phone off, but last night I decided to turn it off right before I went to sleep. My battery was down to 25% right before I turned it off. When I woke up this morning the phone would not turn on. So I decided to plug it into the wall charger to see if it would help. Well the phone did turn on after I plugged it in and to my surprise the battery was showing as 0% charged which is why it wouldn't turn on without being plugged in.
So, that means that something drained my battery from 25% to 0% while the phone was completely turned off. What in the world would be running while the phone is turned off that would drain the battery like that?
I've always been reasonably happy with my battery life. If I use it heavily it goes down. If I don't it can stay charged for a couple of days. Within the last week or so that has dramatically changed. All of a sudden it barely makes it through the night from a full charge to 10% or so. It also "seems" that normal use drains it at least twice as fast. Anecdotal but I know something is wrong or different.
I haven't made any changes to my phone for months. I'm running existz kernal for 2.2 and that is the only customization. I did get a bunch of app updates but that always happens. The battery use screen shows the batter is being used for display but over night, it doesn't/shouldn't display much.
Thoughts on how to find what the heck is going on would be appreciated.
Use spare parts app and find out battery stats on partial wake clock usage and sensors usage

What I would do if I were you is charge to 100%, recalibrate, and take the battery out for about 15 minutes before you put it back in and turn your phone on. I dunno.why this procedure worked for me but that's just a suggestion if you don't wanna flash to stock and back to whatever you're using.
Uninstall updates, then add them back, one at a time.

I notice dramatically different battery life when I use this procedure to charge my phone known as a bump charge.
1) charge to 100% or as close as your phone will get while it is on.
2) Disconnect charger
3)Turn off phone
4)Re-Connect charger while phone is off
5) Wait until the phone says 100% charged while it is off. You can check the charge by using the volume buttons if the screen is asleep.
6) Unplug charger. (This is important. If you boot your phone with your charger plugged in it can give you inaccurate battery information.)
7) Boot up the phone.
That is really odd but mine has started doing the exact same thing. I have never had battery issues and for the first time today my phone was completely dead within 6 hours, and the past week it seems to hardly make it 12 hours.
I was just assuming it was the launcher I was using but I removed it and it never helped whatsoever.

I would agree with you on that but... I really have no idea what all got updated and don't know how to find out. the perils of auto-update I suppose.

I'll give that a try... it made it through last night in pretty good shape though. Confused I am.
Not sure if this helps or not, but here is my experience.
I have two wireless routers in my house. One I keep locked to N-only and the other to G-Only. The N router I have suspected for some time has a weak or flaky radio because I can watch the signal strength fluctuate wildly over a period of 10 seconds or so. I noticed a while back that when my phone is connected to the N router it will kill itself pretty much overnight. When I disable that connection and let it connect to the G router it only loses a couple % over an 8 hour period.
I don't know if it is due to being connected to N, or if my suspected flaky router is causing it to use more power staying locked onto the signal or something of that sort.
