I average about 4-4:30 hours of on screen time with moderate to heavy usage on any kernel and ROM regardless if I Undervolt and underclock or not. I use Greenify for apps like Facebook religiously.
Now my question.. Is this normal for screen on time and if not would it be worth buying a new Nexus 5 battery and replacing it since the battery is around 8 months old or so?
I wouldn't bother. seems pretty normal to me

4.30 hours of SOT seems pretty awesome to me for moderate usage
Undervolting has no effect on battery life afaik. It's just to keep the device a few degrees cooler.
If you aren't around a wall charger, It would be good to invest in a powerbank and use fast charge to keep it juiced up all the time.

You're getting better screen time than I've ever achieved. Leave it.

Thats really good and no way is that moderate. A standard day is 16 hours so you're using the phone for a quarter of a day. Thats heavy usage.

Thanks guys, now I feel like I've been complaining about nothing. I used to achieve 5 hrs and couldn't get there anymore. Seen some users reach 6 hrs regularly.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
shooot.... i get average 2 - 2.5 hrs of SOT... if i get 3+ i am happy
u have nothing to complaint

Turn all the frills off (especially location services) and you should get over 5 hours...even 6+. Depending on usage. And keep screen as dim as you can take)
Mostly just Tapatalk and some browsing, I get over 6 usually. In about 24 total....but that could be in 12 or 16 total hours....just depends how quick I get to 6 SoT.
If your gaming much ...be pretty hard to get over 4 1/2 I'd say.
I'm getting FANTASTIC battery life! I'm at 63% right now, after close to 12 hours of total time (with 1.5 hours SOT), with an estimated 20 hours left. Standby time is the key here, when I am not using the Moto...the battery just stops in time. It's wild.
I will have to say with the following...
Active Display Disabled < Not necessary
Adaptive Brightness Disabled < around 10% to 15% brightness is honestly totally fine for outdoor use. It's crazy. I use 1% to 5% at night.
Xposed Module: MobileRadioBugFix < Most important!
My Moto X is now immortal.
GSam Battery Monitor is showing on average 2.0% to 3.0% loss per hour when I am using the phone.
While SOT does slowly kill it, standby time is just crazy now. When I lock the screen, it's almost like the battery gets frozen in time.
For anyone who is struggling to get through a day, try these stuff out!
Men, I don't need to fool with it. 20 hours a day before plugging it in is fine for my needs.
Stock out of the box after a week of power cycles.

Oh but she can do so much more. I'm impressed, 3,000mah with 1440p had me worried...but Motorola has buckled the F down and did a great job!
Agreed Moto did a good job with the battery.

I usually get 6+ hours of SOT

This is terrifying. Coming from a oneplus one where I was used to getting 6 hours sot over 18 hours. I switched to a oneplus 2 and have only been getting 3 hours sot over the course of a day, thinking that's terrible. Sounds like the Moto x Pure isn't for me, which is a shame because I really do love the Moto features and way it feels in the hand.
dam i didnt wana root but xposed is great so far my battery is lasting me day, i will be on my 3rd power cycle today lets see how it goes....

You know that module doesn't actually cause a change in battery life? It simple adjusts the calculation of battery drain due to mobile radio. It will not, in any way, cause your battery to last longer.

I was told the Radio gets stuck on in LP, and that is a huge waste of battery. Either way...I don't know what to tell you but the phone is just immortal now lol
I couldn't imagine looking at my phone for 6 hours in a day!!! It seems a little much. I would respect the ability for my phone to stay on that much but I can't see the necessity.

The tabulation of what was being measured as battery use got stuck counting battery use as being caused by the mobile radio. this module just affects how battery stats are counted.
We shouldn't have to root to get great battery life. Just disable Moto Display, keep brightness low, and control when apps like Facebook sync. Android M will definitely bring improvements.
Not to mention, 6+ hours SOT is ridiculous. Put down your damn phone.

With my OPO and Kitkat at my last job I used to pull 7 to 8 hours of SOT a time.
Not ridiculous at all... if you send roughly 500 texts a day, watch a lot of youtube, play a lot of music and browse the web a lot.
Also, rooting = Taking control of your device.
If you want the best, don't be lazy, take it into your own hands.

And ruin the non-replaceable battery? No thanks. Plus I don't want to be tethered to a wall, that's dumb. It's 2015, not 2000
The entire process of unlocking, throwing recovery+flashing super su takes less than 10 minutes. Did the entire thing on the can.
+ Greenify is the best battery saver ever. I'll never not root because of that.
Having said that. the DOZE feature in Android M is pretty slick. My Nexus 6 went from 2h SOT to 4.5 SOT on the last developer preview So hey, maybe that'll make everyone happier

Well said bro.
I'm looking forward to Marshmellow...but I won't be able to use it till Xposed is ready. Too many things I need, stock too useless.
Thanks for the heads up on the xposed module, with that installed I can actually get through a day now. Screen on still drains but standby is awesome now!

For my oneplus one, 4 to 5 hours of SOT by the time you go to sleep, wake up the next day and have another 3 to 4 hours SOT = 8 hours sot. THEN I charge the phone.

I am using N5 since May 2014 and I am considering replacing the battery. How much SOT should I get on an avg usage with 3g continuously ON and without any games and music. I generally get around 2 to 2.30 hrs on a complete charge. Is it less? battery drains around 20% when i keep chatting for an hour or so.
Should i replace the battery?
Lastly, i feel privileged to own N5! Cheers!
Thanks
I think around 2 to 2.5 hours is the average.
Can be subjective depending on use.

Oh i did once, but never got more than 3 since the time i got the phone 2 years back. Will try it again, no harm.
Hello,
I am the new owner of a Honor 6x and the phone is absolutely great but i cannot have a decent sleep. It loses minimum 1% per hour.
This night, from midnight to 6AM, i've went from 54% to 48%, that sounds enormous...
Power saving mode is enable.
Phone has already been resetted.
I also updated last night to nougat.
I am in 3G since 4G is knowing to consume a lot, had this also on my previous phone.
Compsumption Level are Android system 20.85%
Android OS 12.76
Hardware side are Screen 21% and PHone Idle 7%
If i uses the 6x continuesly, i get easily 6SOT i don't know how to avoid loosing so much during sleep.
Thx, i am now performing a new factory reset for Nougat.
Wifi off when screen off is applied
Mobile network have been remained on but i do now change them in 2G.
I close all apps manually before closing screen.
I've tested and lost 1% in one hour with NO data and NO wifi..., the screen has been just very shortly checked 4 times...
I will compare after the reset.
Thanks.
By default, EMUI will kill a lot of background apps during sleep, so you shouldn't experience much battery drain. A factory reset may help you.

This is all because of the Nougat update.
Nougat update is draining battery faster than MM version.
Moreover officially Nougat has not been released for Honor 6X still.
Try to downgrade to MM for better battery.

Well u sound true , OP plz try to enable the option to close the apps automatically when screen off. Wil save much juice
Thanks, i saw everywhere else that closing apps in the background sound a good idea but is in fact asking more juice to the system.
I don't know what to think anymore.
i've did 6h14 SOT with about 55 minutes of gaming, brightness between 15-30 depending if outside or inside.
It seems that making full charging cycles (i've had the phone only since 3 days now ) is helping a bit.
Still, i am very far from getting 10 hours as i have seen in these forums

Well, 6h SOT is very good actually but, if people do get 10h is probably due to light usages!

Do the math. Additional 340 only. 8 hrs, maybe even and a half. You can only do that if you take away the core Android processes, take away cell radio, take away touch screen inputs, and there you go. With 3340mAh you might even reach 24 hrs of display time. I don't care if you don't believe me.

Hi All,
Is anyone getting really bad standby drain on the Exynos version? Soon as I take the phone off 100% charge within minutes of checking it again it falls down to 98% with nothing running or in the background. Last night while I slept for 8 hours it lost 11% which 0 apps running in the background. Please let me know cheers.

Hi I've had the same experience with the note 10+ s20 ultra and now note 20 ultra, at work today on lte connection I got 2.5 hours sot over 12 hours at the end of which my battery was empty. This might improve when the software learns my usage patterns but I found there's nothing you can do about the standby drain, the only 2 brands in my experience with good standby battery life are Huawei and apple.

Yeah I had the exact same issue with my note 10 plus even with learning usage which I sent back. Just come from the Huawei Mate 20X which had the best battery life to this. Hopefully it may improve otherwise I can't see myself keeping it.
I had the P30 Pro and the battery life was far better than this. Let's hope it improves over the next few days.
Just installed the new update which may help.
4h normal use (about 1h screen on), the battery dropped from 90% to 50%
The standby drain is really bad. Really hope after few days of usage it can improve tremendously
4% overnight only.
Yesterday, 6 hours SOT. 7am to 10pm. 120hz. Typically getting 5 to 6 hours SOT.
Did any of you tried putting apps to sleep apps in settings? I did that on my note 10 plus and I think it matters.

Exynos. Quite normal to get anywhere between 5 to 6.6 hours SOT. With 120hz and everything on.
Do you guys disable any bloatware apps? Either via adb or package disabler. There are some apps that run like Samsung push service, smart things, etc.

Before sleep it was 81%. Morning woke up to 78%. Exynos version.

How does Auto Brightness affect the standby battery drain? I am curious.
When you go out doors day time or sunshine your screen automatically goes full brightness so it will drain battery quickly. Keep your screen brightness low or medium
Now I'm past the first week or so I'm having no battery issues. Happy as usual with my next Note!
I get around 3% battery drain in around 7 hours overnight, but then at work I might not use it for an hour and its drained 3 or 4 %. Maybe alot to do with signal.
