So I got my nexus last night, used. It was already rooted and I flashed purity rom, franko kernal r15 and sound mod. I was up till 2 am playing with my device. It was at 18% when I put it to charge. When I woke up to go to work it was only at 49%. I get to work and plug it in again for about 1hr now and it won't charge passed 49%. Can someone help me out or guide me in this situation? Thanks.

If it was mine, I'd return it to stock and see if the problem still persists. If it does something is wrong with your device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064
maybe just a problem with the rom/cernel, shouldn't be device specific maybe update/go back to stock?
I'll try that.. Damn I wish I didn't delete the back up..

I have been so impressed with the battery life on the N5 however the last 2 weeks my battery is dropping 50% in less than 4 hours. If I reboot my phone it fixes this and drops about 10% - 15% in 4 hours.
I thought it must be an app I am opening that is constantly running in the background but can't see anything obvious.
Anybody got any suggestions or advice? I have stopped almost all apps and uninstalled the majority. I don't want to restore factory defaults if I can help it.
Have you checked Gsam? Mine sometimes does that, and the culprit normally is my kernel keeping the phone awake for whatever reason, and a reboot solves it. Not sure why though

Get betterbatterystats and see what your wake locks are.
I have gsam but not really sure what to look for?

I'm not familiar with that. Does it tell you what your partial and kernel wake locks are?
If you go to App Usage it will give you a breakdown of what apps are using your battery

I have this exact same problem. I normally have to reboot my phone when I disconnect from the wireless charger. I don't think that's always the cause tho. I would love to install batterbatterystats but you need root am I'm really trying to not go down that road anymore.

I think It's the dialer. I had this problem in 4.1.1 where it would constantly be looking at my address book in exchange.
In my case, Gsam points to the Kernel being the issue. I'm trying out a different kernel, and haven't experienced the same issue.

I have been using the app tweetcaster and it started to drain my battery, maybe off an update or something. So I uninstalled it and downloaded another twitter app, fine and dandy. Only thing is I checked my stats and com.handmark.tweetcaster is still draining my battery!! This is absolutely murdering my battery life! Any help would be awesome, thanks.

Keep that screen up and plug your charger in and then disconnect it. Plug it back in and see if its still there.

Weird. Try clearing your cache.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The only thing I can think of, if clearing the cache doesn't work is that it did not uninstall correctly. Try going to your Settings -> Apps and swipe over to All. make sure that process doesn't exist in that list. It sounds like it did not uninstall correctly somehow.

How exactly do I do this, I know how to clear cache on a specific app, but not one that's uninstalled

Have you charged your phone to full since then? The battery stats aren't cleared until a nearly full charge. That's why it is still showing.

That is bizarre. You could try clearing cache as others suggested? Are you running stock or custom recovery?
El daddy's post is correct. The app is not still draining battery.
The graph shows battery usage for 10 hours.
If that app had shown 40% after 5 hours and your battery had gone down to 75%. You uninstalled it at 5 hours. If your battery was at 50% after 10 hours It would still show as 20% after 10 hours. Even though you uninstalled it 5 hours previously.
Just charge your phone back up to full which will trigger a reset on the usage calculator. All should be fine after that

Nope I uninstalled it last night, I reinstalled it about an hour ago to see if it saved any cache, but it didn't, so I uninstalled it again. Phone was completely charged to 100% for this morning

100% stock, phone has not even been rooted yet. How do you clear cache, I know how to clear cache on individual apps, but this app is no longer installed

To clear the cache partition:
Turn your phone off.
Hold volume down and power, this will boot you into the bootloader.
Scroll to recovery using the volume keys and select recovery using the power button.
It will boot into recovery and you'll see an android laying on its back. Press and hold power, then immediately press volume up and let go of both. (it may take a few tries as it's tricky to get right. If you can't get it in time, the phone will reboot and you'll have to start over)
Once the menu opens, choose clear cache partition. It will wipe cache and the phone should reboot automatically.
The boot up will take more time as usual as the OS re-builds cache.
Hopefully this helps. I'm not sure it will work because I've never seen an uninstalled app drain battery, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Okay cool thanks. I use to ROM and everything when I had a captivate, and galaxy s 2, but this phone is so polished and smooth stock I never saw the point to. Didn't know I could get into recovery without being rooted with a custom recovery installed. I'll do this when my phone charges to about 50%, its basically dead right now

So, my N5 recently started acting up now back when it had kitkat I never had this problem. So here is what I'm dealing with. My phone is charged 100% if the battery is at 60% and I try to take a picture the camera begins to act... All funny not taking pictures correctly as if the lens is taking too long to take the picture making the picture dark. Then the phone shuts off I turn it back on only to reveal my batter is at 1% and then later dies. Not sure if i have to replace the battery or what. This phone is was purchased on December 6th 2013 from Google.

Check to see if the battery is physically swelled
Checked battery looks ok also cleared the cache partition still acts funny.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Anyone have a solution to this?
I'd try changing the battery. Sounds like the battery is shot. Up to you though. Could be a number of things
Try wiping cache.

I have the exact same problem. Has changing the battery worked? I am getting the same thing after I take a PIC or Play a game at when battery is at 90%. It just dies. Help out peeps.
So it appears that the issue has been fixed at first I thought it was the battery so I changed it that wasn't it. I then reflashed android 5.0.1 and still didn't worked I then disabled the camera app and downloaded one from the play store and the phone no longer shuts off while taking photos

i just bought the 16GB version and the moto g as you know has an excellent battery experience but when i opened it and just did some startup settings for like 10 minutes i noticed that the battery drains so fast! 2% every minute or something, is this thing normal? because it's its first use?
No it's definitely not normal. Maybe it requires a few recharging cycles to reach full potential. Or if problem persists, you can try factory reset.

okay i'm charging it now and will see
Mine is 8gb edition and the first uses, the battery charged veeeery slowly, very very slow, but after some full charges, I'd say 4 or 5, it became normal. Maybe it could be as you said, because of first use, give it some time and charges, I think it will get better.
