Nexus 5 battery drain after lollipop update

Is anyone facing battery drain after installing lollipop on nexus 5?
Can we expect Google to fix it?
My phone battery surcharges from 100% to 25% in 7 hours.

Yes, I don't have that big battery drain as you have but my device maybe drains 10% on a night, while kitkat drained only 2-3%

Same here on KitKat my phone will drain 0 or 1 percent but on lollipop it drains 5 or 6 percent.

Right... Last night I left the phone with 100% battery with Wi-Fi & data off. When I woke it was at 91%.
After the Lollipop was installed, I reset my phone to factory settings.
Mostly on Wi-Fi, battery usage shows only 7 hours left from full charge to total discharge.
I expect this to last at least 13-15 hours when nexus 5 has a 2300 mAh battery.
Is Google working on any fix?

1-9% battery drain would be nice for me. Look at this picture from last night.

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy Note FE before depleting the battery.

My battery drain. What's the deal with the cell stdby?

I will say I have roughly the same battery usage stats. I’m getting roughly 1-1.2% per hour on idle and 15% per hour screen on.
I usually have a mix of WiFi on and off, location set to device only, sync on, no BT, no AOD and usually 4G with 3-4 bars reception.
What I find to be severely draining is travelling fast, like driving. It’ll easily drain 5 per cent per hour.

I find that turning Google Location History OFF in the settings improves battery life.

Looks like this thread as gone quiet, the battery life on the Note FE has dropped quite sharply since moving on to Oreo. Mainly cause by the cell-standby time.
However, from the looks of it (without root). The options are quite limited, especially if you have recently updated to the latest. It moves Binary 3, and Knox will not allow to downgrade to a previous version. Flashing a Binary 1 (Nougat) radio will end up your phone showing "baseband unknown".

Mostly on Wifi. Moderate use (and lots of YouTube).

5h+ a day
I'm often turning on meduim power saving mode and it's not limiting my device's performance or any thing.
It may last about 4 to 5 with power saving mode turned off. Of course all of this is on FHD resolution i haven't tested WQHD resolution yet.

Not great, please update your OS and disable 5G if you do not currently have the service available.
A New OS update came out a few hours ago, optimizing the system power consumption and reduces heat generation.
The source can be found on GSMarena.

WiFi only or mixed LTE? That's a problem if it's wifi only with light usage. Normal if usage is a bit heavy with games or camera

Can you guys mention brightness level if it's not too much trouble.

I'm really impressed by the battery life. I get around 8hours of screentime. 120hz, mostly WiFi, adaptive brightness off, brightness 50%

Question Battery and SOT

I just got my One Plus 9 (LE 2110) today. It came with 16% charge out of the box and I charged it up to 100%.
My battery is now at 15% at 4hrs SOT. I only do facebook and messenger most of the time. I also tested some camera functions for a short period of time.
Is it normal or will it improve on the next charging cycles? Thank you.
I'm on Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10 build btw.

Pm and I'll walk you through what to do, or text me 517-505-4785
My name's JP

Do you still have poor battery life?

My last SOT is better with 5hr and 30mins. I optimized a bunch of apps. And I don't feel that much heating compared on the 1st time using it.
What is your usual SOT under normal usage?

That's absolutely terrible battery life.

Turning off 120hz and 5G have huge battery gains but even with them on I still get 7-8 hours.
11h14m is the best I have gotten so far (see the screenshot) but I don't push to 0 so I probably would have hit 12h.

I don't have the phone but thinking about buying it. However, poor battery is a deal breaker for me.

I'm getting 7hrs of SOT now with 3 charging cycle from purchase. It keeps increasing lol. I don't know exactly the factor that affects my battery.

I am using OOS 12. The c44 ROM that dropped and then was pulled. You have to manually flash it. I don't have the issues others have complained about so I haven't reverted to OOS 11. The battery is phenomenal, just beware that you will have to go into the settings for apps you want to receive notifications from and enable background battery usage.

Why is it a deal breaker? The phone charges from zero to full in half an hour.
That said, 5G and 120hz are huge drains. You get at least 20% more battery shutting them off.

General Pixel 6a has the best battery life I have seen in a smartphone

I got my first pixel about 1 month ago and I have to say that it has the best battery life of any smartphone I have used. It is even better than the LG V30s and V50 which i think had great battery life. It is definitely better than my S21 5G (exynos). It is very efficient during use and really awesome in standby. However, I am not rooted and I have disabled 5G and AOD. I attached some screenshots. Note that I was on wifi about 85% of the time and my usage won't be the same as yours. But this is just to give an indication of what could be achieved with the pixel 6a.

I agree, tis a very good battery and managment. Pixel 7 has an even better one....

I gave up as I will be going out soon and I need the phone to be charged. it has been at 6% for about 2 hours and i don't even have it in battery saver mode and I still have auto brightness by default. I am loving this battery life.

If you root, with various tweaks you can squeeze approx. 15-20+% more outta it. GMS is a freakin' hog...you can tame it plus force numerous other system apps to doze muuch sooner. That's just a few.

Let Me Google That
For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.

Yes must admit bought mine 3 days ago and battery is the best in any phone ive had including the Lenovo p2 with 5000mah battery if anyones old enough to remember that

3a XL was better

One plus 10 pro. Takes 20 mins to go from 0 to full charge and last forever !!!

Battery consumption really improved on January build.. I'm at 18% remaining with 7h 40 min SOT.

Stable

My girl with iphone 13 pro with same battery but 6.7 120gz screen with max brightness all time have stable(!!!) 8-9 screen on time. With VPN and all is on. I look for iphone now. Pixel is good as android but iphones is the most optimized device.

we dont like discussing Iphone here in fact i think it is out of bounds per rules also.

So, if I understand battery on 6a is now better than average?
How about heat management, does the phone tend to get warm or hot on basic tasks or prolonged use?

I have never noticed any heating issue at all although i never game on phones.

any tips to improve battery?
