Google Nexus 5 :: WiFi Battery Drain After Android 5.0.1

Dec 27, 2014

Strange that there aren't much complaints about that, but after I got the even buggier 5.0.1 update, the WiFi's battery drain is unstoppable. My usage and settings are exactly how I left them before the update several days ago. WiFi uses about 60% while the phone sleeping. No abnormal wakelocks details detected

Google Nexus 6 :: Android Core Apps Causing Massive Battery Drain?

Jul 9, 2015

I usually watch Netflix in bed then go to sleep. In the last week, I occasionally wake up to find my batter drained (down 80+%) overnight. According to GSAM, the culprit is Android Core Apps. Not sure what that is. I thought maybe Netflix was still downloading, but that's not Android Core Apps.

This is Nexus 6 on 5.1.1 using mobile radio only (no wifi).

Google Nexus 5 :: Google Update Caused Rapid Battery Drain

Feb 27, 2015

Yesterday I did an update to several programs including Google and noticed major battery drain. I was not sure which program did it but checked Battery in Settings and saw it was the screen causing the drain. Apparently when the Google program updated, it changed the setting for automatic brightness adjustment to ON. I turned it off and the battery is fine. I keep brightness set to about one quarter to one third brightness. I think the battery life is great and I can easily get thru the day.

Google Nexus 5 :: Google Play Services Battery Drain

Nov 11, 2015

Ever since the android 6 update I have noticed that Google play services is always top of my battery drain stats.

Also the mobile radio active figure is always going up and up!

I do have a android wear device synced but I always have and never noticed this is lollipop.

What could be causing this? I don't have Google now or location services on ...

Google Nexus 5 :: Battery Monitor Do Not Add Up To Total Battery Drain?

Nov 29, 2015

Nexus 5, 16GB, MRA58N (stock, not rooted). Sometimes the power percentages shown for each process in the battery monitor do not add up to the total battery drain? I am finding that sometimes they add up to within 1% of the total shown.... and sometimes they are WAY off with as much as 30% of the displayed battery drain unaccounted for. Since I don''t have access to the battery terminals, I can't determine independently whether the percentages shown are simply inaccurate, or whether there are missing processes (ie., processes not shown at all in the battery monitor).

Google Nexus 5 :: Battery Drain More Than 20% Overnight?

Nov 29, 2013

I just switched over to Android from my iPhone 5, and while I love the OS, the battery life on this thing is pretty atrocious. I'm not sure if I'm just spoiled from my time with the iPhone, or if I have a defective unit, but even after performing a factory reset, my battery life appears to be draining about 1% every 1 minute during fairly normal usage (no streaming, processor intensive apps, etc). On top of this, over the past two nights, I have woken up to find my battery has been drained by ~20% by just sitting on my nightstand.

After the factory reset, the only app I reinstalled was Facebook, so I'm pretty much ruling out any apps as the culprit here. I know there have a been many articles/threads about specific functionality you can disable to maximize battery life - and believe me I have tried some to no avail - yet I am pretty against the notion that I need to essentially disable the functionality of my phone to get respectable performance out of the unit.

I'm talking to Google support right now but thought I'd post here as well to see if 1) other people have been experiencing issues like these and 2) if there is anything I am overlooking here that might be the source of the issue.

Google Nexus 6 :: Excessive Battery Drain?

Mar 17, 2015

is there an app that can read though all of the apps currently installed on the phone that can search for one that maybe causing battery drain? My battery seems to have gone sour lately and I don't know why. Esp today, I unplugged from my charge at 2pm and have done anything major with the device and I'm already below 50% in under 5 hours. I've spent 80% of my time on WiFi at my house. That to me seems unacceptable.

The two gaps there are I had to restart my phone for something and the second time was to clear cache partition. Currently running 5.1. Gonna do a reset to see if that fixes anything, I'd it doesn't I'm gonna try to get moto to replace and replace with a white device haha.

My battery has been horrible since the update. Today has been the worst... The phone app has drained 32% of my battery. I haven't made a call all day.I already wiped the cache partition, which did nothing. It seems factory resets aren't solving the issues either.

Google Nexus 5 :: Lollipop - Battery Went From 40% Overnight Drain To 5%

Nov 29, 2014

My battery losing 40%-%50 overnight while it was inactive sitting on the nightstand. (Factory reset did not work at all!)

Now after futzing with the WIFI setting, last night I lost only 5% total in 8 hours sleep time. Furthermore battery read 18% remaining at 10:30 PM and still read 18% at 4:17 AM. Now this is more like what my iPhone 6 gets while sleeping.

What seems to have fixed by battery woes. I changed the (Advanced) WIFI frequency setting from Automatic to 5Ghz (which would not work at all) and then to 2.4 Ghz only.

As of today I have 87% remaining after 3 hours of casual use (after charging to 100%.) Previously (for the past week since installing Lollipop) I was losing about 25% per hour during casual usage - ridiculously bad battery life.

I had just listed this thing on Craigslist because I cannot use a phone with 4 hour battery life.

Google Nexus 6 :: Cell Standby Battery Drain?

Jun 27, 2015

Something in my phone is causing the radio constantly be looking for a signal even though it has a signal. It seems like Im having to charge my phone at least twice a day now. Id like to steer clear of a factory data reset if I can, but if I have to I will. Running my phone with the GPS set to device only.

The stand by percent was at 11% this charge cycle. I've read that changing the preferred network type is a temp fix, but I don't see the point in disabling 4g if its meant to run on a 4g network. I've also read that google fit maybe a possible problem area. I honestly don't know what else to do. Its really frustrating that this good phone is just plagued by these small issues. Is there any way to clear the cache on the cell radios or anything like that? Also would I be able to run the Android M version of the radio firmware on my current build of 5.1? Running 5.1 build D for Verizon.

Google Nexus 5 :: Battery Drain On Airplane Mode

Oct 25, 2014

I'm noticing some battery drain during the night on my nexus 5 even when my phone is in airplane mode.. I charged it to 100 then took it off the charger and turned airplane mode on. When I woke up it was at 95 percent.. I know it's not a huge chunk of battery but isn't that still bad for it being in airplane which is supposed to turn off all the radios? I could of swore when I did this last week it only dropped one percent, why the sudden jump? And Google play services was the top thing draining battery according to my phone stat settings..

Google Nexus 5 :: Bad WiFi Signal On Android 6

Oct 24, 2015

I flashed factory image of android 6 on the day of the release. I've had worse wifi signal than I had on 5.1.1, a very notable change. In my wife's nexus 5 I waited till the ota update, and that phone doesn't have the same issue. I've tried flashing the radio from 5.1.1,but didn't see any change. I also refreshed to stock 6.0,and performed factory reset.

I'm at like 60% signal when sitting next to the router.

Google Nexus 5 :: Why Won't WiFi Turn On - Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

Jun 24, 2015

A few weeks after installing the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update, I began having issues with my Nexus 5. When I go to turn on the Wifi in the settings menu, the toggle switch is grayed-out and I can't use it. Instead of the phone finding connections, I just get the constant dialogue that says "turning wifi on." This just stays like that and I can't use any wifi functionality. I've tried fixes like installing custom ROMS (I tried Paranoid Android and CyanogenMod). I tried rebooting and factory resetting. I even called Google's customer service line and they were unable to fix the issue.

Google Nexus 6 :: Android Not Syncing WiFi Data To Device

Dec 7, 2014

Android hasn't been syncing saved network info for me since I was on my Note 2 6 months ago. So now I have all my saved Wi-Fi info on the N7 (which never leaves home), and it never synced to my N6 or G3 before that.

Any ways to troubleshoot this?? I do have app data checked to sync on both the gmail accounts on my Nexus 6.

Google Nexus 5 :: LTE Or WiFi Longer Battery Life?

Google Nexus 5 :: WiFi Drains Battery While Turned Off (6.0.1)

Dec 30, 2015

I noticed that after 6.0.1 wifi drains my battery when it's off and not even kept on during sleep (it's set on never). Wi-Fi frequency band is automatic though. Location is set on battery saving mode.

When I go to battery details the first thing to appear after charging the phone to the full is Wi-Fi to 1%. The time running increases little by little, no CPU usage and the computed power use also rises in mAh as time goes by.

Xperia Z2 :: Android OS Battery Drain

Feb 27, 2015

So when I opened up my battery usage I noticed that Android OS was at 70% usage (69% now in screenshots).  I check my battery usage several times throughout the day and Android OS was not consuming 70%.  It seemed to spike to 70% consumption, which points to an error in battery usage charts.

The steeper drops at the beginning and toward the end can be attributed to the poor reception areas I was in and my heavier screen on time during those periods.  The flat portion in the middle is when I went to bed and left my phone for about 8 hours.  Notice there are no huge wake locks during my time off battery.

This is my current screen on time....

I'm guessing this is an error with the battery usage calculator but I'm not completely sure. How to know if this is an error with the battery usage or is Android OS really consuming 70% and how I should fix it?

Galaxy S6 :: Games Built For Android Drain More Battery

Sep 2, 2015

My phone is one of the "not so good battery" variety, so it needs to be charged mid day every day.

Today I couldn't go to work due to hurricane and thunderstorms near me. so I sat back and played some N64 Zelda for 2 hours and what do you know, I'm at 60% with 2 hours of SoT... probably the best SoT I've ever gotten (I'm guessing I'm gonna have 5 hours SoT today? estimate?) but when playing something like dead trigger with the same exact Bluetooth controller the battery drains much faster. (I would say the same battery wasted in half the time)

HTC One M8 :: Kernel Or Android System And Media Server Battery Drain

I use my phone properly, charge it very well and have had 4 android phones. None were like this. I have the latest firmware for the M8 (4.4.4). My screen on time is not that good now, around 2-3 hours but when I first got the phone (3 months ago) it was 4-5 hours.
