Hey guys,
A common question: My Nexus 5 seems to suffer from energy drainage, as I'm not getting the Screen on Time I'm used to. Ever since I got the phone, I've always got about 2:45 - 3:15 hours of Screen on time and in the past months, that hasn't changed, until the last few weeks, as I'm getting a max up to 2 hours of screen on time, often up to 1 and half hour..
Not much has changed. Same usage patterns, not really any new apps that I regularly use and screen brightness (50%), Wifi (24/7 on and won't turn off on sleep, 90% of the day on WiFi), 3G (normal use), GPS (off), bluetooth (off) I use on normal base.
Also the usage graph that shows how many % per app is used hasn't changed ever since. 25% screen, 15% android OS and all others a few percent.
So I'm unsure what app/thing is the boogyman, or how I can check what is; hopefully any of you can help me!
I wouldn't mind a factory reset, but I'd prefer trying to use on-device checks before I perform a factory reset.
Thanks!
P.s. I'm not rooted (yet, still unsure whether to or not. Kinda happy with the 3 hours I'm used to. Not interested in a different rom anyway), so no answers that require being rooted. Thanks!

If you're rooted you're going to want to use Better Battery Stats. I believe there's a version free to XDA members, somewhere. It'll give you extremely detailed information about which wakelocks are eating up your battery. There are a ton of threads on here (my favorite is in the Samsung Skyrocket forum) which explain the various wakelocks and how to minimize or get rid of them. If you're not rooted, I'm not sure what would be able to help.

Not rooted - Updated the OP. Thanks anyway!
Do you have anything running as a service in Settings> Apps> Running that wasn't before? It might be the latest Google Search or Play Services updates.
Could also be strength of signal or if you were traveling more than usual. Any number of things, not much we can do without BBS or Gsam stats which would require root for meaningful results. Otherwise you could screenshot your default battery stats including the graph, screen on time, and detailed stats for any apps using more than 5%.
Any links to the better battery stats thread? I'm having similar issues. Running the latests Beanstalk
You should check social apps setting for repeating sync; Facebook, twitter or skype..

Without root and gsam or better battery stats.....this thread will just be full of guesses I'm afraid.
Have to see your Wakelocks. Otherwise no one knows the issue. All guesses.
Hi guys! I've created this as a thread to discuss the so far mysterious and specific to 5.0 battery issues many seem to have.
Here you can discuss it, test theories and try to track down causes.
I made this to keep the clutter out of the Battery Life Help Thread sticky. As this is muddying the waters there.
Same things apply... Screen shots are helpful, specifically app wakelock screens. (need root for that though)
Also, Chances are there will eventually be an update to fix this from Google. So when that happens, or the issues are solved by members, then this thread will be closed and info added to the Battery Life Help Thread.
Thanks!
I won't be active very much in this thread BTW. I'm very busy here on XDA. I've created it for community discussion. ?
By all means... If you are rooted, and have Gsam and Gsam root companion installed.... You can post your app wakelock screen shots here......
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Here we go. There's some proof about Wifi issue for ones who don't or want to believe and became angry to talking about this issue. As you can see No deep sleep wakelocks without Wifi. As clear as it should be.
And yes, everything is off. GNow, location, G+; any google services disabled. Also all notification or syncing options of 3rd party apps are closed. And it's a smartphone by the way.

It would be a good idea to change your language to english before you take a screen shot. Many people that have no idea what the text in your screen shot means. Just an idea

I don't think so. I saw too many french, spanish, german, portuegese screenshots and if you know the ordering you may tell which is which.

Thanks but I'm not sure that I'll get some help though. Turkish or english, this issue will take much battery in these days.
For what it's worth, people who need to theorise / suggest / confirm 'issues' must do so LOGICALLY, and preferably with numbers and specific setup.
- The laws of physics apply in all cases, regardless of ROM / kernel. Work out WHAT is using your battery instead of just complaining of drain. This helps no one....similarly only quoting SOT is USELESS. It is how you use your device.....
- Any initial 'testing' needs to be done first on full stock factory images, with no additional apps installed. If there really is a WiFi bug....test standby drain with WiFi on / off over a long period of time. Only then can you actually compare logically. Any difference in your actual day-to-day setup can then be narrowed down to an app issue, with in 99% of cases is the real cause.
Well i narrowed it down tot google now. I did a clean install. I did my setup as i usually do. But first without google now. Because i don't use it. My SOT was then about 4 hrs. Then i was thinking. Hmmz lollipop is beter then KitKat. And maybe its fun tot use google now. So i setup google now. My SOT drops instantly to 2 hrs SOT. So i disabled google now. But my SOT stays at 2 hrs. I did again a clean install. Without touching google now and my SOT is beter then ever. 5 hrs. And i came tot understand that if you don't setup google now. The SOT became normal but if you setup google now SOT drops. And i think there a program from google now that keeps beeing active. Even with shutting google now off. Or google now keeps active even while you shut if off
Anyone know of an app that can control individual apps permissions, similar to the xposed module app settings? Fighting privacy/battery issues.
App ops? Can be found in the store
I have no 3rd party apps installed and also tested in safe mode. If wifi is on the battery drains with wakelocks. If wifi is off the battery drain goes away and wakelocks stop. That's not a theory or something. I'm testing this issue till I bought my Nexus 5. I'm lucky because I bought my Nexus 5 1 week ago and I flashed Lollipop images clearly. Also I relfashed 2 times more . There's a wifi issue in this version in Nexus 5 and it must be fixed immediately. That's the result. No need physics laws or something. There's to many person lives it and cannot use their smartphone properly. If I must close the wifi manually to save battery life and block wakelocks why I'm calling that thing a "smartphone"? By the way it's not the phone's fault. The OS is faulty for Nexus 5. The worst part is the fact that Google said this issue has been fixed. But it's not true. At least for most users. We saw some users doesn't have this issue but more of them has been rooted their phone or flashed custom ROMs and kernels etc... Personally I don't want to root my phone or use a custom ROM and kernel. I think it's my right as a Google Nexus 5 and Android final consumer. And also it's my right to sound off this issue. I cannot understand why some people are huffing to users like me?

Apologies my post wasn't actually directed at you, more at those who post without any detail and just conclude that it must be drain, I've seen many...
You have tested logically[emoji106], and you're absolutely right that full stock factory image should work without issue and without the need for root to fix anything.
Can you confirm also that the same drain happens on any Wi-Fi network? It shouldn't be a solution but with investigating. Can you determine which built in app is keeping your device awake?

No need for apologies or something. We're all here to solve some issues and make things better.
By the way my wifi issue happens if the wifi is on. There's no need to be connected to any network. If the wifi is on there's massive wakelocks in sleep mode and battery drains quickly. I tried anything but root or customizing ROM or kernel. Even I flashed 4.4.2 radio image with 5.0 stock ROM. I'M using it that way now. Same results.
And my tests are not only logical but I also have some quantitative clues. When I open the wifi I can see the wakelocks in stock battery graphic when the screen is off. If ı close the wifi wakelocks decrease and incomprehensible battery drains stops.
I agree. I'm getting an extra hour SOT without WiFi.

SOT is not a main parameter. Especially in this issue.
For this wifi battery drain issue our main parameter is wakelock intensity when wifi is on and screen is off (standby) therefore battery drain in deep sleep mode. So you must check your off screen battery drain.
Any idea why Google play services is keeping my phone awake almost continuously? My location is set to battery saver. I've left it exactly the way it was on KK, Play services used to be around 2% on KK. Now on L, it's always in the top of the charts at ~20%. It says that mobile radio is continuously on. Does it have anything to do with the radio version?
Location History: On
Location Tracking: On
Gmail sync: on
Contact sync: On
Everything else is always off.

Oh I see. Well I think Wi-Fi is just more of a drain overall. I got more SOT yesterday and idle time it seemed like.

Tracking and history have always been drains. Maybe not as bad as on 5.0...but still.
Try with those off to compare. ?

That is true, but KK never had that big of a drain solely based on location and tracking.
Does anyone else have the issue where android system is consuming 35+% of the battery? Looking at the stats it seems like one of the bundled services is keeping the radio on for 14/18hrs its been on.
Have the same isssue
Yeah, I'm having this issue too. Android System is consuming HUGE amounts of battery for me.
Thought I was the only one but glad that's not true! Still got good battery stats with the android system drain nonetheless.
Charged mine to full last night right before hitting the sack.
Woke up 7½ hours later and it had consumed 33% of the battery just sitting doing nothing bar getting email & polling (presumably) for Facebook updates.
And that was with Power Saving enabled. Bit disappointing, hoping when I disable auto-sync that it'll kill the drain.
There's lots of services running under Android Systems disable the ones u don't use, I have disabled some got better battery life, still testing some others...
The hardware on the phone is great, but touchwhiz drives me up the wall. I'll be happy if and when we get anything AOSP based, CM being the holy grail. Nice to know I'm not the only one getting this battery drain. I've disabled pretty much everything that's able to be disabled, as all I use is google services.
Same problem here.... Huge Android System battery drains.
I've played around with several things, and as of yet I haven't gotten it to stop other than turning off WiFi. Anyone found a fix?
Mine's more a combo of Android System and Google Services... both take up a majority of my usage... Services typically being a bit more.
Why are there two android systems? wtf...
Is there any way to reduce cell standby?

Same sh*t here. Went to bed last night fully charged, and 7-8 hours later, wake up with 23% of my battery gone.
I'm starting to wonder if moving away from the Nexus line was a mistake. I started running again and the N6 was just too big to lug along with me, on arm or in a waste band, so I decided to try Samsung.
Just got my S6 and I noticed this right away. Last charge I had 2:42 of SOT and "Android Systems" used 47% of the battery. I was just watching Netflix and YouTube mostly. My overnight drain is also quite high, about 1% every 30-40 minutes of standby.
Is that normal for most S6 owners?
To all:
Turn off VoLTE, turn off WiFi calling, install CPU Spy, ensure your phone is going into deep sleep. If it isn't, flash the stock recovery with Flashify, wipe the cache with it, then flash TWRP back with Flashify.
Post your results.

This is for everyone. If you haven't flash TWRP, then simply wipe the cache with stock recovery.
I just assumed most people would have TWRP flashed, my bad.
I am guessing that that this is an Android problem as the Galaxy S6 Edge has the same problem with battery drains.

I'm not rooted and I don't plan on doing so. I'm not sure of any other options. I unplugged it last night an let it sleep. Android system used about 14% of the battery. And I lost 20% charge. Cpu run time was 38 minutes too. and I never even woke it up post unplugging it.
I believe this Battery Drain Issue is a Lollipop issue. Was haing it with my One Plus One, I fixed it by going into privacy Guard, and going to Google Play Services and not allowing it to stay awake, and start by itself.
Ill find the actual thread and post it, same issues happening with a lot of phones using lollipop
Battery drain on a new device = bad flash (very common on android devices, first run)
1 wipe the devices and start it again from factory problem should go away. (at least the excessive drain anyway)
2 Ensure you have updated the Samsung Services app (this was responsible for most if not all battery drain issues if you reset your device)
3. Turn the bloody Screen brightness down and turn off Adaptive display (way way way too much battery drain using them)
4. LTE off and Cell data off if you on wifi, your wasting battery power communicating with cell sites you arnt using, the weaker the signal the more power you will drain for no benefit
6. GPS / Loc data off unless you need it even then wifi / AGPS is usually more than accurate, remember GPS + poor sky visibility = more power used to get a loc.
5 NEVER measure battery life for the first 24 hours way too much stuff syncing and updating to measure with any accuracy.
I get a solid 2 days out of the S6 with mixed use and a screen on time of 2:30 could get that upto 3 hours but i have a hearthstone addiction
As mentioned above, I highly recommend wiping the cache, even when not rooted.
Also, worst comes to worse, i'd completely redo the phone from scratch via the Smart Switch software samsung provide.
Hey,
my battery life seems to vary, maybe wakelocks? I am not rooted so I can't check. Some days I get 7-8 hours sot, however today (a day at university with wifi connection) my battery life is terrible, mobile network standby and Android system seem to be battery hogs.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Screenshot attached
I wanted to post the same thing... I haven't even installed all my apps on the new phone,
and I get terrible battery drain especially in standby, it's losing 20% overnight.
Then I factory reset it and it seems a little better now, but it's too unstable...
I was expecting better to be honest, and I only had it for less then a week...
How was your cell reception? Having bad reception has a big toll on battery performance, at least in my experience.
There have been reports of other users on battery drain with certain themes installed. What theme are running and could you compare with the default theme?
same here, not found the cause yet but tempted to do a full reset and start from scratch.
For wakelocks non root, download wakelock detector lite, you just enable it via a chrome app and usb debug, will have to do it when you restart the phone but thats not so often now days.

In my house the reception is not very good, but that's why I set it to 2G and turn off mobile data, leave it only on Wifi.
Did not install any theme, default everything. But really, can a theme cause battery drain ?
Me too
The battery standby stability is not great is it?
I'm currently turning on "battery saver" when I am not using the phone - a slight pain, I know, but it does seem to have helped, a bit.
Will keep an eye on it and let you know (I am hoping to get away with charging the phone every two days rather than every day).
Will see if that proves possible - FWIW, for me, it seems that Ourlook and Bluemail are two key culprits. I have changed the settings on Bluemail from Push to Fetch every 15 mins, which has helped, but of course you cannot do this on Outlook. Well done Microsoft.
At this rate I'll end up using the "extreme" power saving mode
I know battery usage will never be consistent among different users, but the background drain is too much (based on what I see here and the other thread). If you can figure out your background drain you'll be sorted.
I know Dropbox had a bug that affected a lot of people recently, where it would keep the phone awake for hours at a time, they sorted it out in a BETA but not sure if its been pushed to stable yet.
I'd recommend everyone to download BetterBatteryStats, give it permissions via ADB and then use your phone normally until you reach 10% and see what is keeping the phone awake. My phone drains less than 1% an hour overnight (typically lose 4-5% over an 8-9 hour period.)
By the way, it is VERY common amongst the U11 and U11+ for mobile network standby to appear very high. It always does, even when I get 7-8 hours SOT, the mobile drain appears high. I think the battery stats are a bit bugged if I am honest. Sometimes it will say Spotify has been using battery in the background for 10 hours, yet it drains less than 1% and doesn't show up on battery historian. Other times it will say Nova is using 50% battery with 10 minutes screen usage (even though my phone has been running for 30+ hours). Doesn't always make sense.
My experience with battery drain is that I don't have any issues. As others have said, it will be different for different users depending on apps running in the background.
I have over 100 apps installed, some are running in the background, but I usually have 50% left most days. My battery drains really slowly. Couldn't be happier.
I think there is som bug with software
Hi there,
This is the problem I have with this HTC U11+ battery: if I don't reboot the phone after charging, kernel is always awakes
If you reboot your phone regularly you won't notice this.
I wonder if it is a common problem to U11+ and if HTC knows this.
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------
This is CPU
It has raisen to 100% during charging and never changed.
Seems more like a software issue.
I would try seeing what apps maybe like to wake up when charged (anything that backs up only when charging etc) or do a factory reset.

I did factory reset, wipe cache, everything... Unfortunately there are many people with this problem since the last software update, so I think it's something HTC related that must be fixed.

Of course any help would be appreciated. ?
Same here.
I have the China version U11+. After I upgraded to 1.24 via OTA, battery draining has become a serious problem, even in airplane mode.
I have solved it after I noticed the problem by doing a factory reset.
I have the European U11+ and I'm experiencing very fast battery draining after the latest OTA update too.
With me it's Google Play services causing the problem even in airplane mode and with extreme power saving on

I don't think it's play services' problem… Because the maximum battery consumption is caused by the EPS.
Maybe it's a bug made by HTC. They may change some files after the update, but forget to deal with the case of these files have been generated. So my problem was solved after factory resetting.
I use Google apps too, they don't cause battery draining if everything goes well.
I reached out to HTC as I noticed an absolutely huge decrease in battery life. I was asked to calibrate the battery and that seems to have stopped the issues at the moment. Email I received had the following instructions:
Recalibrate the battery/charging logic with the following steps:
•Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
•With the device truly OFF while still being plugged into the wall outlet, push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button, for 2 minutes.
•Let go. Device will boot up, and battery/charging logic are re-calibrated.
I tried that and then reset it and I've been getting about a day since then. It's definitely linked to the last software update despite what they'll try and say.

I have to agree that something is happening with the software, and moreover, since last week the drain became really noticeable.
I was losing around 15% by night, so what I did to fix it was the following:
Clear cache of Sense Home
Disable the apps I was not using; for me those were:
Weather
HTC Account
Device configuration
Google Documents (didn't let me uninstall, but Sheets and Presentation let me)
Duo
Zoe Video Editor
Facebook
Facebook App Manager
HTC Alexa
HTC AppCloud
HTC Sense Companion
Instagram
Messenger
News Republic
VR Google Services
TouchPal
Clear cache from recovery
After doing this, the drain was gone and I was getting 2%-3% drain overnight again, and so far, is behaving properly now.
Maybe you guys can try.

After doing this, the drain was gone and I was getting 2%-3% drain overnight again, and so far, is behaving properly now.
Maybe you guys can try.

I've ended up doing something similar- starting in safe mode I found that I wasn't getting the same drastic battery drain so I removed/disabled some apps, including HTC Weather and Touchpal, same as you. Now battery life seems much better and Google Play Services isn't causing a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic....:good:
Getting fine screen on time, but bad standby time. I left my phone idle for more than 10 hours, and everything looks fine...but I'm draining more than 2% per hour doing nothing! When I use the phone normally, idle drain is closer to 3%, with still not specific problem that can be seen. On Oreo stable, it was around 1.5%, which is still bad compared to my iPhone, but not unbearable. I had no SIM installed because it was in my iPhone, but with or without makes no noticeable difference.
Advanced optimization, sleep standby optimization AND adaptive battery also make no noticeable difference in ANY combination on and off.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edit: You might also notice the VPN icon, it's not a normal VPN (with active, keep-alive connection), but a proxy for those of us living in China. Again, I've tested on or off, no difference, and you can't see it in wakelocks or processes.
and kernel wakelocks?

My bad.
Did you try turning off the WiFi scanning?

Off by default I believe. It's off for me.
I need those pictures after let's say 6 hours of standby. I need to see standby usage only. So make a custom mark when you go to bed and then take the SS

Get another over night stats for better understanding...

I don't understand. This is 11 hours of stats idle, on my table at home, with no one touching it. This is no different from ide overnight on my bedside table except total time. I have gathered overnight stats many times with exactly the same results as what's shown here trying to figure out what's wrong.
Could also be a bad WIFI, seen this before for some 5ghz networks.
Is bbs being optimized in battery settings?
try 2.4ghz wifi if you can (where you have good connection, OR just turn wifi off, so we can rule that out the equation.)
make sure better battery stats is NOT being optimized
and try one more time.

Thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't tried switching to 2.4ghz or un-optimizing better battery stats. Unfortunately, there is no noticeable difference yet again. Turning Wifi off totally used to help a bit in Oreo, but hasn't made any difference at all in Pie.
Having the same issue too. Idle drain is fairly high on pie. Wakelocks are pretty clean too. I'm convinced it's something Google related or it's just the system isn't all that optimized as they want us to believe

Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a little better. Most people on the internet complaining about Pie drain of course has no idea how to actually check anything beyond Android stock battery stats, so there's no way to corroborate.
I noticed that beta 4 has " * Optimized standby power consumption " listed as a system fix. But I don't want to clean flash in and then clean flash out of beta yet again because all of them have had such horrible touch latency that dozens of users are complaining about. But I'm almost tempted to try it.
Can anyone on beta 4 chime in?

I'm on beta 4, first dirty flash and I had 0.3%/hour
I cleanflashed few days back,no root,locked bootloader. I loose 4% in 7hrs 30 minutes. So it's ok.. with GPS,wifi bluetooth on.
Touch latency is like stable pie.
i flashed the ob4 and wait to see battery consumption how it goes! i did'nt lose any files or settings

Thanks for the feedback! But 0.3% / hour? I'm skeptical. I'm not sure that any Android phone has ever been that low draining, ever. Certainly not in my years of experience. I don't think that's possible even with no apps installed. You can't post any wakelock details because you're not rooted... Maybe post a screenshot of your battery usage graph, please?

I have posts in the battery thread with BBS.

Well, I stand corrected. I have no idea what perfect storm of perfect conditions is represented here to get standby drain to near-iOS levels of amazingness, but that's impressive.

Thanks. I feel like I'm being really lucky with this device tho.
I will get my root on today, clean flash again and I will just set it up and see where it lands. But I thought no what saves my battery the most is really good reception. The antenna is around 100meters (300 feet) from my house, WiFi is on point aswell (best on 2.4ghz)
So, like I said the bootloader got unlocked, root is on again so everything is fresh.
The smart battery didn't even have time to read apps that's draining battery this is standby usage with stock settings from OnePlus,without any optimizations. Im counting on adaptive battery that it will do its thing after a day or two.
I have around 20 apps installed but the ones that matter for battery is Telegram, instagram, steam.
