Confused in finding cause of drain. Need help!! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hii everyone i need help regarding some issues with my battery.
1) I have changed the battery of my phone about 6 months ago. It was on lollipoo it was fine about battery. It used to drain about 3-4 percent of battery overnight. I m on stock .
2). Then came marshmallow update. After updating to mra58k my battery became superb it would only drain 1% battery overnight.
3). Another update came of some 5-6 mb it said some securiry and fixes. After updating that the battery drain increased overnight to 8-10 %.
4). Then after some days i rooted and tried many different roms even mra58k and even flashed lollipop rom also but battery drain cannot be under control. Now also it drains about 10 percent battrry overnight.
I dont know where the problem is i am charging with a microsoft 0.5 amp charger. As my stock charger has stopped working.
5) where is the problem i dont understand.( during overnight all Bluetooth, wifi,data,location is off,and signal is full)
Need help guys i m fed up of this problem.
And nowadays charge holding capacity is decresed it gets discharge very quickly with less performance oriented task also lIke chatting or surfing. ( i dont have fb app installed).

I did not charge my battery for 8 hours

hi all
i got my new w8 last week and i did not charge it for 8 hours ...
when i got it i straight
-root it
-install a new rom
-and bring it out
-all in 40mins or so
is it a factor?
cause now my battery only last 4 hours before going to 0%
while my sister's w8 (same model ) have 60% battery after 5 hours .ck ..
really scared man cause 4hours battery life is unusable
even in stock it's still draining ...
specs -
w8
stock kernel / rom
will buying a new battery help?
Just recalibrate it. Turn it off and charge 'till full, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, turn the phone back on and use it until it turns off by itself.
Try calibrating the battery... but I must also add that I flashed some ROMs and when I restored the backup of my original ROM, the battery life was absolutely horrible and the phone kept overheating. I flashed MIUI and now it's like a new battery again.
there are some free battery calibration apps in market too. some latest works too.
battery calibration is very god
Very unlikely that you did any permanent damage. But I would be sure to do a few full charge cycles. As in charge to 100% and leave it plugged in for a while, and then allow to drain all the way to shut down.

Huge battery drain. Really need help

Hello everyone.
I have a very serious problem with battery drain on my SGS3. Every rom I use, every kenel I use, even with stock firmware, I have 16% or sometimes bigger drain in 8 hours at night when I'm sleeping. It was not like that before I rooted my phone. I've tried like 4 roms, ICS, JB, even stock, but the same thing is happening. Please give me some advices. I've ran BetterBatteryStats and it shows that l2_hsic and multipdp is making big drain, also google maps and facebook. Should I try freezing these apps? Usually the drain happens when I reboot my phone after a single charge with AC or USB cable. If I just disconnect my phone from charging after charge, there's no any drain, it's like 1% drained per 5 hours whatever I do, but if I reboot my device after charge, it drains immidiately. Please help!
probably battery gone I had same problem with my SII

Battery issue after 4.1.2 update

Recently I've updated my Note through OTA to 4.1.2.
I've spot that after update the Note is just draining the battery.
I could read about 10 hours on it before, and now it is only about 6 !!!!!
I even do not mention gaming, which is draining the battery in 2.5-3h from 100% to about 5%. I could play approx. 5-6 hours before.
It's ridicules.
Did any of you spot the same thing?
I haven't installed any additional apps after update that may "help" to discharge the battery.
The values above are based on Screen usage time in Battery menu.
Any suggestions?
After the update, I'm facing recharging issues. The tab is taking twice the time of what it used too to recharge to 100%.
i haven't spot any issues with charging.
.
Same here.Used to get 10 hours of screen on time,now i am lucky if i get 8 hours!

Same here...
Some tips :
Kill all apps, switch to offline/airplane, and power saving mode when charging..
Still not working?
Try reboot your device once or twice if necessary..
And your device will charge normally
Work on my gnote...
I hope it will work for you too
Correct me if i'm wrong
Im using juice defender with good results, I lost a pretty noticeable amount of battery time after 4.1.2, too.
Maybe a problem with the battery stats?
Try to drain the battery empty and full charge afterwards.

It will damage the lithium battery when you drain it till empty
I think it is Wi-Fi that drains the battery !!!!
Usually I was leaving the tablet with wi-fi on all the time. After 4.1.2 update it takes approx 2% of battery per hour !!!!!!!!!! when you do not use the tablet but wi-fi is on, so after night in the drawer you had approx 10-15% drained.
When I turned the wi-fi off and left it overnight i haven't loose even a 1% during the night !!!!!
I have to try to work on it as usual but with wi-fi turned off, it will be difficult though as usually i play on-line or browsing the net
I think they f#^%*d something in 4.1.2 update with wi-fi energy consumption. hope they will repair it in next update.

I mean, just let the device turn off by itself, and after that, charge 100%.

Yeah, I had this problem after I updated too. It was also laggy. I did a factory erase and now it works better. I think it is still draining more than before, but not as bad as after I updated. I think a good rule of thumb is to wipe everything after an update and start all over. You could also try wiping and flashing the rom for a fresh install.
I suggest you to change your rom to germany stock 4.1.2...
It will solve your charging problem

Bad Battery life or Bad Battery on Nexus 5 with 5.1

Hello,
I've searching for like 2 months about problems with battery life and Lollipop with nexus 5. I understand the issues but since it was released, i never had much problems with it. I used to have 2h SOT for like 40% battery or so.
My daily routine allowed me to reach home with a bit more than 50% battery with 2h SOT more or less. (a lot of messaging on viber/whatsapp)
But something changed since 1 and half months ago. I can no longer do the same and it seems that i have a CONSTANT battery drain. I remember when i unplugged my phone i would reach my workplace (1:30h after unplug) i would have like 2-4% less battery depending on the usage. Currently when i get out of home the battery is already at like 92% or more depending on the usage. If i let the phone stay idle all the time, i usally get home with 30-40% battery now. I'm already thinking that my battery has gone bad. This started to happen from one day to another and i never let the battery stay too much below 30% usually, but nowadays it's impossible to predict the battery life since some days it seems to drain more than others.
I've used some apps to monitor the usage but i really don't understand much about it and can't seem to find a pattern. I've already did factory reset with all Lollipop versions and i remember doing a KK regression for some hours but the drain seemed like it was still there (can't use KK on my nexus 5 anyway, it feels weird after Lollipop experience ) but i didn't even fully charged the battery as i remember. Anyway if it would be an app, there should be some kind of logging in battery stats which doesn't, and i can't think about anything else.
I finally gave up and decided to ask help here, since i don't know what else to do. I'm actually leaning towards getting a nexus 6 but after reading about so many issues (screen/battery life/burn-in) i'm not sure what else i can do with my nexus 5.
If anyone can give me a hint i'd be very grateful
PS: already tried Cataclysm ROM and using currently ElementalX kernel. I notice a bit better battery life with ElementalX but i think the pictures speak for themselves.
Judging by that constant drain with very little shown awake time I'd install Better Battery Stats and check for kernel wakelocks. I had a similar situation with a wake lock from using a wireless charger that did not show in the regular battery stats.

i already installed it before, but currently don't have it installed. I have Wakelock Detector app i can post a screenshot if helps
Installed Better Battery Stats, i'll post results tomorrow (battery at 19% already).
As promised, there's still some battery left but i didn't even use the phone today mostly... in days like these i should be over 70% as usual or maybe close to 80% that i remember.
Can't seem to find the cause
bump i guess
will some full discharge cycles fix this ? iirc that can make things worse.
I feel your pain...when I was on Kitkat, I'd get to work running just Waze and Pandora and my battery life would be at 80%. Installed Lollipop 5.1 and now half way through my trip (15 minutes of use) the phone shuts down with a dead battery. Maybe it's just a coincidence that my battery decided to give up the ghost at the same time I install 5.1, but I find that very odd...the phone is only a 1.5 years old...lithium battery's tend to last 2+ years and even then they don't fall off a cliff in terms of capacity. At this point I think I'll buy a new battery and see what happens, LG OEM are about $25 on Amazon.

Turned off mobile data, my Z5c still drains a decent amount of battery overnight

http://imgur.com/X9PYY3Y
I took a screenshot of the drain. It was at 91% when I set it off and put it down for the night. When I woke up from my sleep around 7 hours later, it was at 86%. With mobile data I've been getting much more drain than that, like around 12%. I thought turning off mobile data would solve it, but something still seems to be draining it. What else could be the problem?
I have the same situation on MM, 1% drop per hour minimum. tried turn off data, set only HDSPA, currently installed wakelock detector and greenify i will keep monitoring.
I dont have any batt drops in LP, almost always 1-2% per night.
I tried flash stock .163 and now .185 for UE1 and for germany (im from poland) so roms are for my region. Clean install, dirty install, LB and UB, now rooted, the same situation.
For me battery life on MM sucks :crying:

MM battery was okay for me for a bit it seemed, but then the battery drain seemed to jump up a bit. On LP I was bit hard by the "mobile radio active" bug, and it's still getting me on LP, even back on my Z3c, ugh, it's really frustrating. Mobile radio still shows up for me a lot in MM too, I don't know, that part seems like a google/google play services problem, but this other battery draining that's happening, I'm not too sure, and looking at battery system stats, or using another app such as gsam battery monitor, I haven't been able to deduce anything, but if you see anything, please update us.

Here is mine ss, if You can help
I unplug charger at 00:19 with 99% battery, in morning aroun 5AM i have 93%
I don't have any screenshots but I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks (running stock MM), my battery is draining much quicker than expected. I use Tasker to control wifi / sync / other stuff but don't have it running like the old Ultra Stamina but my battery will now drain in 12 hours of normal use (not playing games, watching movies). Looking at GSam battery monitor, the phone radio is draining quite a bit and at no point has the phone entered deep sleep.
Annoying as I used to easily get 36 hours between charges.
since i upgraded to Android 6.0 I lose 1% per minute when the screen is on and I go from 100% to 0% in approx. 8 hours, compared to 1 day+ before.
Same for me :c since the update got less than 3 hour SOT , doze does not help me as i have my phone on my hands or pocket most of the time, it never activates
and i saw the 1% bat drain per minute or so while im on chrome ( i just use crhome, nor videos nor games, no facebook apps installed)

Even with doze, it doesn't work that well, cuz my battery still drained turning off network. Although, last night, I turned on airplane mode, and it drained less, only 3%, but I still feel like there's something going on in the background that makes it drain so dang much.
I almost haven't used my phone since full charge and see: Screen usage is very high, as soon as I turn on, it drops by 1% per minute. I haven't changed anything since MM update and before that I could (heavy) use my phone for 1day+.
I bought this phone cause I couldn't use my LG G2 for a full day anymore, and now I can't even use this new one for half day....

I fixed my battery extremely fast draining by uninstalling Facebook Messenger, now I'm back to 1 day and half estimated use. What happened with this app ? It wasn't battery consuming with Lollipop.
