Battery problems - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i had fully charged my n5x yesterday then used it till the charge dropped to about 54% (at around 12:00 a.m), when I woke up this morning around 6:45, the battery was at 0%, completely drained, i had charged it and it works okay for now (except for a random reboot around 12:30 p.m), but I have this problem, it shows -1........ secs where the time(hrs) are supposed to be and i know this is not normal, i am running pure nexus 6.0.1 and elementalX kernel, can anyone explain this too me? as far as i know it could be caused by a faulty battery or can it be a rom/kerenl problem? the phone is only 2 months old and i don't think i should be experiencing any problems (unless the device is faulty). But other than this problem the phone works great. There is a screenshot with the battery pattern which looks not normal.
thanks.

Go to Settings- Localizing- 3 dots- scanning and check the box calling "Scanning Wifi". It should be on off. If it doesn't help, check wakelocks.

I don't think scanning wifi or sync would cause that amout of drain even a random reboot

It doesn't for me but your WiFi is messed up with it using 20% like that.

Any solution plz? but i thinks these stats are wrong as it was messed up earlier.

i have downgraded from nougat and i have flashed pure nexus without flashing the MM factory image, can the new radio (N) be causing this problem as i am using it on MM now? should I flash the MM radio? and if so, where can i get it?

If that was the case, it would have been a more widespread problem and so far your case is the first I read. I've been using the N radio in MM ever since it was released with no battery drain issues in two 5X units. Your issue must lie elsewhere.

oh ok i wasnt sure but this clears it up about the radio issue, I'll monitor the problem further and if it is not fixed I'll have to get a replacement.

Phone gets very HOT

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for a cupple of months now and I noticed that it get so ****ing HOT. I can feel that it burns a little bit in my pocket when the phone is there. The strange thing is that it gets this hot only when I am not connected to wifi or are at a place where the 3g connextion isn't that good, on the buss for example. So what do you guys think that I shuld do? Can I even return it now?
Thanks for answers

Are you going to try and return it?
Also could be the kernel i have the same problem though
The only time I have noticed my phone getting very hot is when I stream music or use Wifi-tether.
Mine gets very hot only when I'm downloading torrents and don't have a wifi connection.
What baseband are you on? Was trying to sort out my phones heat and accompanying drain for ages! Exactly the same symptoms (only when using 3g, particularly with poor signal.) . Turns out my issue was baseband. Switched from kk6 to kl1 and so much better. Might be worth experimenting.

Also it would only get hot like that is data connection is consistently working. You might want to also check if there are apps that are constantly connecting in the background that you don't really need.

I am on baseband I9250XXKK6, have never changed it so I should try that. You know which baseband I should have? I have a GSM/Europe Galaxy nexus.
It solved your problems with the phone getting hot?

Well yes I have apps that requires data connection like twitter but I think a Smart phone like Galaxy Nexus should be able to handle that without getting super hot.
I have a cdma galaxy nexus and my phone gets really hot also but i notice when my phone gets hot it is when their is crappy signal or low 3g signal

Yeah, I'd definately give it a shot. I'm in UK and KL1 seems pretty good to me. Tried quite a few and ALL were better than kk6! Like a completely different phone after!

My old one used to do that as well and it was a radio hardware issue. Received a replacement and all is well. I was within the 1 year warranty.

It was actually my 2nd replacement. My first issue was with the phone bootlooping (not related to ROMs) after about 3 months after purchase (only rooted). It was that replacement when the radios sucked. Phone was always hot and it ate through a full charge in about 4 hours. The phone was going into a deep sleep when inactive (verified with CPUSpy) and the Phone was eating the wakelock (BetterBatteryStats) as it kept looking for a signal. Didn't matter which radios I used (4.0.2 or 4.0.4) the results were the same.
Turned that phone in stating just the phone was eating the battery looking for a signal (battery showed red for phone signal) and they sent another replacement. This one is ok (running Gummy 1.0.1 with 4.0.4 radios).
I can vouch for this. I usually have my wifi on at work and at home with no heat issues at all. But the last two nights I was at chili's which had no wifi so I turned my 3g on and within 10 mins of super slow browsing my phone was getting ridiculously hot. I read on another thread that if the 3g signal is low or weak then it will continuously ping the server which causes something inside to heat up very quickly whether its the radio or cpu. This is definitely an issue but I'm not sure if its fixable with a new kernel or radio flash.

Hello.
For several days I have exactly the same problem.
Since I install AOKP milestone 5 and franco.kernel milestone 3, my phone started strongly hot.
Temperatures can reach 66 degrees, and the rear cover gets really hot.
Is it a hardware defect or problem is in the settings or Rom/kernel?

I didn't had the time yestorday should be able to do it today!
The only problem is that I dont have acess to 3g right now, changing carrier.
Had the phone today and It never got hot so something is fishy with the 3g ship/singnal.

Major Battery Issues

My battery will not charge to 100% and it drains extremely quickly. It typically will only charge to somewhere in the 50% area. Last night I had it charging while I slept and it only got to 32%. I currently am running stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I installed better battery stats to see if it could help me and the process that appears to be wearing out the battery is "dhp_dpc." From what I understand, this has something to do with wifi. "System" (Android System) also is at the top of the list on the main battery page at 25%. Android OS is using 20%.
I have been flashing this phone back and froth from AOSP roms to TW roms and this problem began while I was on a TW rom. I decided to Odin back to stock and it did not help. It currently is not rooted and running JB.
I've had this problem once before, but I never found out about the dhp_dpc thing. I ended up getting the phone swapped out for a refurbished model. I want to avoid this, if possible. In case it becomes a problem again, I would like to know how to fix it.

Umm I'd backup and do a clean flash after a factory reset. I'm not sure what's causing your battery drain and nit picking for hours won't get us much farther.

Battery spikes to 100% new Nexus 7

Everything else seems to be fine....has anyone else experienced this? Faulty battery? Simple annoyance?
That is some damn fast charging... Has this happened only once? Can you exchange yours locally? Might be a symptom of a future problem or something small that will never happen again. Most likely the latter
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yep, happened again. Only this time it spiked to 100% then dropped down to the real level......then never changed. I restored to factory. I'll report to see if it happens again. I learned my lesson on the last Nexus 7. NEVER buy online. I'll return it to Best Buy for an exchange if/when it happens again

Sorry for resurfacing this subject, but I present you, my recently bought Nexus 7 2013, bought in Germany. Stock Android, non-rooted, app used: battery widget reborn.
Any thoughts yet?
Mine is doing this as well. I'm pretty sure I've noticed it since I got it a few days ago,
The battery life seems fine though. Could this be just software related?
Seems more likely to me then the battery actually spiking it's voltage. That'd be potentially more serious...

Hey everyone,
My Nexus 7 (2013) is having the same problem with battery graph. There are about 2-3 spikes to 100% in every discharge cycle.
I noticed this problem has been reported in different cycles, but no one seems to be able to give a definite answer of what the source of this problem is.
BTW, after a reset to factory settings, the problem still persists.
ANY idea why this is happening???

I got my Nexus 7 2013 a few months ago. Never had a problem on 4.3 - discharged it, charged it without a problem. I usually keep it 80-100%. But 4.4 has yielded terrible battery life so I'm letting it drain more because ... it doesn't last 1/2 as long as when I had 4.3.
Got my first spike last night.
Been quite a while since I last saw a spike. Not sure at all what fixed it. Don't specifically remember uninstalling an app when it stopped, might've been the stock android update.
Happens sometimes. Stopped when I updated to 4.4, as did the random reboots. Wouldn't worry too much about it
Meh, still happens on lollipop...

So what are the negatives or bugs with the kitkat update?

I know one of the positives is now you can get the bootloader unlocked
But umm does it still have a speakerphone issue? And did it lose some GSM frequencies or something for tmobile/att? And as I understand it.. it was last I heard unflashable for page plus/verizon? Or is that changed obviously cause of bootloader unlock?

My speaker makes a popping noise for pretty much everything I do, though a bunch of people have reported that as well I think.
My battery has gone to hell. With almost everything Greenifyed, SetCPU underclocking to 594 MHz, I'm still losing about 5% an hour. When I turn Location and Google Now off, it's about the same, so I've just been leaving them on. I have a 5000 mAh batter pack that I carry everywhere with me now.

The popping noise used to not occur on my phone, but lately I've been hearing it now and then.
I'll second the mention of worse battery life (although it was also not-so-great on Jellybean). I haven't gone quite as far as vjaamm has, but I've tried to maintain a decent balance of apps and battery life and still can't push a full day. The phone goes from full to 20% in about 11 hours, with 80 minutes of having the screen on.
Cyanogenmod definitely does better on battery life, but the current nightlies still have some issues to sort out (broken Bluetooth audio, spotty Wi-Fi for some, weird speakerphone issue, unknown "My Number" for some and the consequential inability to send MMSes)
Everything is working perfectly fine for me on KitKat. I keep reading about others having worse battery life, but mine seems to be the same. It's not better or worse. I don't have any popping noises, random reboots or heat issues.

Did you installed Kitkat via RSD or OTA?? because the ota failed to me, and i installed KK from a zip that i found here
This morning, I was listening to come music on my commute to work. It's about an hour and 15 minutes. My battery was done to 83%. I wasn't playing any games, not looking online or texting. It's kinda crazy to drop that fast just from MP3's. It never did that on Jellybean.
I wasn't streaming them. I was using PowerAMP and just using songs on my SD Card.
I bet the phone just didn't like the music I was listening to. lol

In my case, at least, your screenshots make the difference clear - your phone is barely awake when the screen is off; mine is nearly always awake, even with the screen and Wi-Fi off.

BL unlocked&rooted
KK installed using official file via RSD
Kitkat was working fine, and everything seemed to work as expected until recently when it started overheating, running the battery down really fast and then shutting off. When this behavior starts, you can't charge it from a car charger, a PC USB port, a portable battery pack and sometimes not even the official Verizon charger that came with the phone. All of this behavior started after KitKat. My daughter gave me her Razr M to use which still has JB on it, and I won't be upgrading it to KitKat. I don't think the M is quite up to Kitkat, or KitKat isn't optimized properly for the M. Cyanogenmod 11 runs much better, even with the few bugs it has.

My wifes razr M is really starting to piss her off since the update. Reboots all throughout the day. SOD's (screen of death), and just general stupid behavior. Before I know it she'll be wanting a iphone or something.

I remember something like that happening when I had one of the verizon apps disabled. As soon as it was enabled again, the FC stopped happening. That was on Jellbean though.
I don't remember what the app is though. Sorry.

ZE551ML instant battery drain problem

Hello,
has anyone got any idea why ZF2 would discharge instantly. It started happening when updated to MM beta. Then I thought it was MM bug, so I downgraded to LP with latest update, but still the same. Every other day at random the phone drains from 100-80% to dead in a couple of seconds. Used QuickCharge only a couple of times so that shouldn't be the cause of the problem. Also, the battery sometimes gets really really hot. I mean uncomfortably hot. Could it be the battery failing or is it that I just messed something up with the beta update..?
i dont think it is a battery problem ... must be the rom as it is beta version... why dont u try the downgrading part ...its somewhere in the threads afaik...

It could very well be a battery problem.
I had one that started to do a cutoff at 20%,which over the course of 3 weeks slowly increased to 35% at that moment I noticed a swelling of the phone, and a problem with the speaker.
I ordered replacement for both, and the problem was solved.

Yeah, as I've mentioned, I already have downgraded to Lollipop - no change.
Also, I've noticed that Quickcharge does not work anymore. Even though it shows it's quickcharging, it takes almost 3 hours to charge the battery, so something's definitely wrong.
Probably gonna try to flash the firmware again and if that does not work - will try to service it. Thank you for suggestions.
