I've bought my N5x 8 months ago, and I've never achieved more than 3h+ screen time.
After upgrading to nougat, nothing changed. So that's why I'm starting a new thread
At this point, I dont really know what to do. I've tried disabling Ok google, location, nothing changed.
Here are some tests

Some tests from today. I've charged the phone yesterday, left it, and then used it today for 1h straight
I was thinking to buy a new battery, or maybe I've read that the G2 battery which has more mAh fits too.
In android there aren't tests which indicate the real capacity of batteries like on Windows/Linux PCs
I was always on 3G btw.
I don't know much I would say it's the data connection taking up too much, or maybe you don't get good reception and the phone keeps trying to get it, judging that by the red lines I see I the bar graph thingy.
I've recently changed my mobile provider but no changes at all
Restart your phone and delete cache
Already wiped my phone days ago... Nothing changed at all
Another test, this time, I've disabled REALLY everything, from app syncronization, location history, location set to OFF
But the battery life is still awful enough! I've got barely 3h of screen (charging it a bit, so we are between here)

I could have sworn I've seen a thread for this but I just can't seem to find it.
Tried my best to search so I apologize if this is a repost.
So I've been on the extended battery for over a week now and must have gone through about 10 charge cycles so far.
Few days ago, I noticed my battery was at 15% and I was nowhere near a charger. I had the phone off for about an hour because I needed the remaining juice at a later time. Once I turned the phone back on, I noticed the phone was back UP at 25% remaining without ever charging it.
Thought it was a one time fluke so I didn't care much for it.
Today, I had a screen protector come in and since it was a wet apply, I turned the phone off at around 25%, left it off for about an hour an a half for the product to dry a bit then turned the phone back on.
This is the battery reading below:

If I remember correctly, the reading went back up to about 31% after turning it on. (Don't mind the gap in mobile data reception.. I was in a plane during that time).
I've calibrated this battery once on the first cycle so I'm not sure why this would happen. Is this a known issue?
Currently on stock, unrooted 4.0.2.

Guys,not to waste our forum resources but did you see something like picture above ? It went from 9% to 11% ,without a charging cable and with 4G on bt on GPS on ...
It is simply because the OS is still getting used to the battery ? US Verizon version ,ics 4.0.4 stock rom

From what I have read there appears to be some sort of auto calibration going on while the phone is on. It is giving you an estimate of the battery life and then realizing there is actually more than the original estimate so it's re adjusting the display of battery life.
My guess is it's similar to how if you are driving uphill (or downhill in some cases) your gas tank in your car may display an incorrect reading of the gas but once it levels out it reads correctly.
I could be entirely wrong but that is what I have pieced together from what i've read.
The reason is quite simply ... chemistry.
The battery voltage recovers (= goes up) a little bit after the battery was under (heavy) load. Thus the battery percentage displayed can go up a little bit, too.
TL;DR: It's magic!
Yes, the Galaxy Nexus has a great undocumented feature. If you leave it in a room on it's own for long enough it will eventually get up and plug itself in for a while, if it hears you coming back though then it rushes back into position and plays dead again.
Ok so I've posted in the general battery life thread and have become a bit obsessed of late with my battery stats - short is, I don't think they're good enough and I can't figure out why.
I recently installed Viper but went back to stock as I didn't really need the root or the features. My battery has never really lasted a full day even without the ROM changes. So, I'm now back on stock and factory reset without putting any restore back on, I started from scratch with everything.
There's still something not right with my phone being held awake. I've done the usual, turning off auto sync for nearly all apps, disabled location access for Google apps and have the brightness on 1 when indoors. I'm still getting an awake time of half of the total battery time.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot? I know I'll probably need wakelock access but I'd really like to get away from having to root my device again.
These are my latest screenshots from GSam and I've hardly used my phone today as I've been in meetings most of the day

Without the wakelocks info.... It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
You can disable location completely and see if it matters.
And do you listen to music? That adds to awake time every minute it's playing.
Well I got my S7 Edge coming soon (pre ordered) but I'd still like to know what can possibly cause this.. I've had horrible battery life for some time now and I just looked at my battery status. It seems my phone never goes to sleep and is always awake? Back I'm the day we could check the cause but now we can't unless we root... can anyone tell me what can an android user do about this? I'm looking forward to the doze function in 6.0!
My phone literally sat for few hours while I napped but look at that battery draw!!

If you have "Aways Allow Scanning" enabled in wifi advanced settings, this will happen. Also, battery can go quick if you have "Enhanced 4g LTE services" enabled under mobile data (hd voice over LTE). I would check these two things first. Also, if you keep the phone's sync setting on all the time, thus might happen.
Hope this helps.
You should probably turn off NFC also. I have sync off and wifi only enabled when phone is awake. Data is off when I'm not on wifi. Charge my phone ever other day. I get really good battery life.
1d 1h 57m on battery currently. At 40%. Approximately 10h 14m left on battery.
Hi,
I have a problem with my G5S recently. I had already sent it to a service center because of this, but Moto's Partner for repairs in Germany is horribly incompetent, so it came back with the same issues still occuring.
I think the whole thing began with a restart by holding power for 10 seconds some weeks ago. Later that day I noticed the infrared sensor on the phone's back to glow permanently red, much brighter than normal. It is the one left to the camera. This is even the case if I power down the phone, only with 0 battery the sensor goes off until I recharge.
With this sensor bug comes a massive battery drain, the phone never seems to go into deep sleep mode, the battery stats in the settings show a ongoing bar under active time. I made some screenshots of GSam Battery Monitor, maybe someone can tell me how to stop the process which holds the device active. The phone has no root or any modification by the way.
Thanks!
