Hi!
I am new to the nexus 5 community and I just got my nexus 5 about 2 days ago
After fully charging it I started using it , I have heard that nexus 5 has battery issues and that's why I only want you people to help me tell how the battery life of my phone is for a brand new device by seeing the screenshots of my usage.
Here are the screenshots:
Looks normal to me. What's ingress? A game?

Not bad. I would disable Wi-Fi always scanning available (even if Wi-Fi is off), location to start. That's not bad though and is about what I get, but you might be able to get better SOT.
the nexus 5 does not have battery issues, at all. it stupid people that themselves have issues, not the phone.
Seems normal to me ,I bought mine month ago
There are no issues with battery on nexus 5. I charge mine usually once in 3 days, my record without charge is about a week.
It really depends on how you use it. Under constant 100% load I think battery can be depleted under 5 hours, as in every other device.
i can use my phone very heavily, and deplete my battery in 6-8 hours. but ill still get 5+ hours screen on time.

Have you tried running the phone down till it switches off? I know it's not good practice to do that often but I like to do it with a new phone relatively early as it makes sure it's calibrated - sometimes phones can either switch off at 5% or, conversely, run on 1% for hours...

You don't ever need to do that as it calibrates every time you charge the phone. Also he just got the phone and isn't having any battery issues.

He means to break in a LIon battery the first three times you kill the battery and then don't take it below 20% after that.

That's not helpful and does more harm than good. Li-Po never needs to be user calibrated in any way.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot guys for taking your time and helping me , nexus 5 is truly an amazing phone.
@Ben36 yes , ingress is a game and its a location based so it keeps running in the background and uses location services.
Guys , I have some questions relating to the vibration motor , is it fine if I ask here or am I supposed to make a new thread?
Thaks a lot once again

I was just about to start a thread about something then I read this. So here's the deal. I agree that it's almost always user error and/or over expectation when it comes to battery. Stupid people are here to stay. I'm neither stupid nor expecting too much from my battery.
I've always been intrigued by how some experienced users get great battery and some get not so great. Has to be user error I always thought. I thought this because I was one of the experienced users getting great battery life. I mean GREAT. Way over 7 SOT all the time.
So a few weeks ago my first phone had an audio port issue that I had RMA'd. I received the new phone and set it up. It had crap battery. I'm talking less then 2 hours SOT. Same ROM, same kernel, same apps, same coverage for mobile and data, same usage. I set about looking for wakelocks and they all where the same as the first phone. Nothing was wrong on my end. I spent over a week troubleshooting. CPU frequencies and time in state where normal. Temps where normal. CPU benching was the same. Awake vs screen on was almost identical. The phone is sleeping like a baby when not in use.
So, using Occam"s razor, it would lead me to believe that not all batteries in the N5 are created equal. After getting off the phone with a google support supervisor a few hours ago he agreed. Another RMA process has been set up and I was promised this phone would make it's way back to LG so they can actually analyze the battery.
Like I said, I used to think the same way you do. Now I'm not so sure.

oh, no, I 100% agree with you. just like our devices, that all aren't equal, that are all assembled in differing places, that all have smaller parts that are made in more different factories.. the batteries themselves will differ as well. it'll even probably fall onto a bell curve, where most are near the center, and less with better or worse. but 100% they vary.

Well I feel that there are always some exceptions , some phones may have a manufacturing defect and maybe the phone you are talking about did have one , but these manufacturing defects are mostly really rare.
You should be good to go...just keep an eye on it! Happy Flashing

I was just explaining what he said. The rumor is (supposedly backed up) that you kill the battery 3 times in a row but never take it close to dying after that and you get the best battery life possible because the battery works best if you only charge it between 20 and 80%. I think there may be something to it because new phones only last like half a day on the first charge but after a week last a day or longer for me. I won't derail this thread though as that's a debate that always loves to go on and I've never found hard proof either way but people who just write websites who supposedly sound smart and can word it quite eloquently.
That being said, I didn't necessarily agree with it, but I was clarifying what was said.

Thanks for clarifying. Keeping the battery between 20% and 80% is said to help with battery degradation, which after a year or two might affect how much one could get out of a full charge. Most won't find it practical to limit them self to only 60% of their total available battery pool though.
Even hitting 0% isn't as big of a problem as some may think as there is a reserve charge for protection. For instance, mine has full died on me twice due to a power outage (I even attempted a boot up) and I always full charge with no noticeable degradation after 8 months.
Hi everyone !
I haven't seen this info anywhere on XDA, at least on this forum, but i think everyone should know this.
Not trying to take credit in any way, because OP made a terrific job at researching and testing, just wanna spread the knowledge.
Basically : Charging your phone at night or leaving it charging even while at 100% for a few hours will have a big impact on how it behaves and how your battery holds up.
Quick explaination : Since Nougat, you don't get the App Optimization screen anymore on the first boot.
That's because Google has delayed it, and it triggers only in specific conditions : When the device is idle, fully charged, and still plugged in.
This optimzation allows to build the ART cache, which speeds up the system and apps, saving CPU power because it avoids using the JIT (Just In Time) compiler, thus, saving battery juice.
This also means wiping cache isn't going to help with your battery life, quite the opposite.
You'll see he made a test with other users, and the results are quite clear.
Here is a link to the post with detailled explaination and testing, thanks a lot to anupritaisno1 for all this info :
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-and-battery-calibration-myths-busted.993896/
Forced the building through "cmd package bg-dexopt job" on my own OP6 running Pixel Experience, took like 15mn. SOT improved quite a lot.
Interesting read, thanks
What if you charge it at night while the phone is OFF?

The system works harder when you charge your phone while it's off.

If the phone is OFF it can't trigger the optimization task, this won't be beneficial.
In the article he actually made a test about this, you should read it !
Interesting, but... who claimed that clearing the cache helps with the *battery*?
Also, what happened to the old adage "never leave your phone plugged in" because it causes battery wear?

A lot of people claim this, that you should clear the cache after an update, without clear reason why. At least we have a reason not to.
And this old adage is indeed old, like the "Fully discharge it for calibration". We're not in 2002 anymore. Modern technology had the nice idea to remember to stop the charge, and use Lithium batteries haha !
Leaving it plugged at 100% is not causing any wear. The post mentions a response from an electrical engineer, saying the battery is in fact on stand by and the phone is running off the charger only.

That's just one way to read it. Leaving it plugged in does not, indeed, mean that it keeps trying to charge. But once it goes down, it will charge up again. Also, supposedly, the fuller the battery is when charging, the higher the temperature and hence, the wear. Cannot attest to that, that's just how the argument goes.

Indeed. But from the looks of it, and what i've read in other places, it waits for it to drop a bit. If the battery is not used, it won't fall to 99% in a night, and won't be charged again until you unplug it. Kinda like when your phone is off. It's gonna be a long time before the battery goes down on it's own.
Interesting, gotta try it.
Still, does the <50, >70% not apply in terms of battery wear? I mean, even for straight-forward charges?

I'd say yes, it still applies. It's a different topic ! Everithing said here is related to software and charging control, when this is more related to battery chemistry. But you're right, it's still true.
To sum it up :
- Charging above 70 or 80% and discharging under 30% (Thoses are the values i read about) is indeed not the best thing for your battery health on the long term.
- BUT, the superior battery life your phone will get with these app optimizations easily counter-balances it. If the phones lasts twice longer, it means 2 times less chaging cycles required, when you think about it (Ofc not accurate, but you see what i mean)
Best thing you can do, if you really want to get the best of both worlds, is staying in between those ideal values, and triggering the optimization manually via the Linux Terminal Emulator
Although, i don't think i'm not personally going to bother, i'll just charge my phone, use it, and charge it again in the evening.
Two days after triggering dexopt manually, without flashing or changing anything, using the phone the same way, i went from 16h idle/2h SOT at the end of the day with 50% remaining to 20h idle/2h15 of SOT with 70% remaining, that's quite a drastic improvement.
Ooh can you share more?I tried googling about triggering the optimization but came up empty...
Yes, that's logic in that, if optimization is so dramatic!
PS I meant 80, not 70, just as you mentioned.

Yes, it's hard to get an info about this, wierd.
Run any terminal app on you phone, type "su" to ask for root permission, then enter "cmd package bg-dexopt-job" (without quotes).
It will run for a certain amount of time (between 10mn and more than an hour, depending of the number of apps you have installed).
When you get the shell back (A line appears under the last one to enter another command), it means it's complete.
If you wanna be sure, run it again, it will finish very fast, because the cache will be up to date (It still checks it, so it's not an instant completion).
Do it plugged in the charger, but with like 30% charge, maybe on USB so it doesn't get to 100% too fast, to avoid the awkward situation where it overlaps with the actual automatic background process doing the same thing haha
The phone can heat up a bit because the CPU is working quite a bit.
You can also run the command through an ADB shell on a PC, if you're not rooted.
Or just leave it charging during a night for once, works too
Best way seems to let if charge for the night regularly though (Quote from the OP) :
"I just say overnight because the device being idle is a condition for the optimisation to begin
Also the optimisation is profile guided. If you were to AOT compile your entire base system it would take 4-5 GB off your storage and that is just the base system we haven't even considered the apps you'll install. Since optimisation generates huge optimisation files it is more sensible to only compile what is slow for JIT to do at runtime. This might seem weird but it takes the cache size down to less than 1 GB on most devices
In other words every time you use your phone the runtime sees what is slow and queues it up for optimisation the next time the condition is satisfied"
Wow. This should be pinned somewhere!
I'll do it in the terminal just for fun, but will also leave it (for my first time ever) overnight too.
Thanks, man!

I think everyone should read this yes, even if it's just for the sake of knowing how things really work.
And i can confirm again, my battery life is so much better ...
A few days ago, going to work, listenting to Spotify on my motorcycle for 20mn, and checking my mails for 2m got me to 96% battery.
Yesterday, and today, same routine, an an hour after that i'm still at 100% ... That's very impressive.
Really interesting.
Sadly the command does nothing on my device.

Are you sure ? It doesn't display anything, that's true. But you'll know it's over when the shell returns.
Or you can juste leave your phone plugged for a night or two, same result.
My battery goes from 100% to ~97% within minutes without using it after unplugging the phone from the charger when charging overnight.
Why is that and how can I get rid of it? It occurs since a few days on custom rom as well as on oos now again.
So I read about the mod through ABD that allows to force 90hz but all I find are negative comments on how it'll kill battery life and everything. I can't find any real reviews from people that actually are using the force. Can we get any input here please
Enough info to be found in the other two threads.
Why a third one. Plus, simply try for yourself, each person's usage is different :good:

I did nothign different today and used the JOneplus tool and you can switch it on the fly back to auto, 60hz or forced 90hz for all apps. SOOOO EASY. It's in the play store. No need for the ADB commands with a PC.
That said I am seeing less than 1% difference of SOT drain per hour. Before the 90hz forced all apps I was getting about 6.1-6.3% drain per hour of screen on time and that was with 90hz auto. With 90hz forced all apps I saw 6.9% drain per hour of screen on time 19% drain over 3:21 of SOT. I'm getting that percentage from AccuBattery. I use Auto brightness with EX Kernel and High Brightness Mode app set to auto as well and I only ever use LTE, never WiFi.
The negative comments are of people that are scared to try it and have no clue what they are talking about. They are scared so they should just get a dog IMO.

Yeah, The only real app that I need to worry about L1 is with Netflix and I really never watch Netflix on my phone. If I will need some entertainment I'll watch YouTube (1440p) or just move a movie from my PC library onto the phone for local playback. I have no problem with YouTube, ESPN.com or my Slingbox app Slinplayer (NOT Sling TV) which streams my local TV to my phone in 1080P

I've always rooted all my phones until I got my G6 2 years ago and I kinda lived without it for 2 years and besides gravity box I didn't see much need for root truly. But thanks in advance for reply looks like I'll be rooting this weekend anyhow.. IMO beside CM9 back in the day there's never been a custom Rom that I'd ever run. So mostly debloat and gravity box truly. but I guess this being my 1st OP device I must do it.

Whenever and wherever I look on the internet,be it youtube reddit or XDA forums.
Everyone seems to get a 1-2 day battery life out of the OnePlus 7. Which is apparently about 10Hrs SoT.
I don't get it. I've been trying everything since day 1 I got the phone ( even did a factory reset ) but the max SoT i get is 3.5Hrs ( usually even less ) .
I don't even game on my device now and don't make any calls.
All I do is youtube and instagram with little to no whatsapp.
Rarely a little camera and still the battery life is tragic.
Can someone help me out
Or give me any solutions to push my phone a couple more years.
Even old phones like 3T or 5T users claim more battery than me
I can't live this way where I have to charge my phone 3 times a day
I am on the same boat like you, do not know how people get so many SOT hours. I know my phone is 5G and nearly 2 years old. But anyway I must top it up everyday afternoon/evening otherwise it would die. This is one of the cases why I am moving to samsung, I think quick charge degrade battery much faster.

Nobody knows your setup of your phone, so this app helps to break things down to a level which can be compared and analyzed as you can see from the linked thread
Since years this app helps to identify issues related to battery issues.

Thank you
I understand but the process seems to be tedious to me and with my current usage I don't think I can help with that routine.
Is there any other way
I can describe anything for reference though

If you can post signal strenghts over time, cpu usage over time, wakeup per apps over time and lot of more interesting parameters you're good to go
Time should be over night at least 6h minimum without touching the device.
Otherwise it't easier to follow the recommendations to generate the dump file and post in the linked thread with a description(not here):
Before posting a dump please make sure that the references for kernel wakelocks and alarms were processed correctly. Reading a dump takes a few minutes and it would be great if you could not waste the time of whomever studies it, aiming at helping you.
Generally a dump "since unplugged" is better than "since charged". When you start your analysis make sure to follow following procedure:
- enable watchdog processing in BBS settings
- verify from/to references is checked under custom views
- full charge device then let it run down to ~95%
- put device to sleep for at least 6 hours (no touchy!)
- wake device and launch BBS
- adjust from/to references to 'screen off' and 'screen on'
- save dumpfile from share menu
- post resulting log to this thread (or provide cloud link)
Any other ways are cumbersome and not effective(like screenshots)
Can you please elaborate the steps
I'm having a hard time understanding
I installed the app and ran the necessary adb commands successfully
Now I'm charging the phone to 100 %
Please describe the next steps a little more I didn't understand
And give me the link where I have to post share the dump file

Hello,
above your post I've posted the next steps and within this thread you should post your dump file as well as ask questions related to the app itself after reading the guide from the first post
Which version of android are you using?
Hi,
Just to report the charging limit Magisk modules posted here do work with the P7P:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-magisk-root-set-charging-limit-to-80-85-90-95-v2.4482011/
The charging actually stops at the given percentage (checked with battery guru) despite still showing the charging icon.
Quick and easy solution for those including me who don't want to deal with ACC.
Charging to 80/85% is a game changer for the lifespan of a li-ion /lipo cell.
Why just not using magisk with acc? I know its simple way to have charging limit but when u want ocasionally charge to 100% (long time without power) you need to disable module and reboot

it's a magisk module. acc. and there's an app acca that can be used to control it via a gui
Try Battery Charge Limit (Root) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.batterychargelimit
Worked for all my previous phones when I'd rooted them. Worth a try.

Is there another way for non-root users?
I had the function on my Samsung S21 already installed by default, anyway do not understand why GOOGLE the mother of Android has not already built something...
Google still has a long way to go, in some things Samsung is way ahead.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if there is a way of setting it on the Pixel. But I do believe Adaptive Battery goes some way towards alleviating it.

Too bad, because I use my smartphone as a hotspot for my PC when I'm at home, since my provider is faster on the smartphone and offers unlimited data volume.
But so far I have not noticed anything from Addaptive Battery, my phone always charges to 100% and constantly holds this range, with Samsung I could limit to 85% and there my charge was always held.
****ing Google so simple things they do not get... I think I'll write an improvement proposal of the software.

Thanks. So basically this app would replace the functionality from the Magisk module which someone has posted before, right?

If you're rooted it allows you to set a percentage where the phone will stop charging, then another lesser percentage where it will start again. I used to set mine at 87% and 90% which meant it would never be below 87% or above 90%.
It's worth noting that I recall it saying it doesn't work on all phones. I've also heard it didn't work on wireless charging, which never bothered me as I don't use it anyway. That might have changed though.
