Observations on battery life - please share your experiences
-
Nexus 5
Battery life is nearly as good as I was running LineageOS.
I lasts for a day with UBports (2019-W42).Happy with this.
-
@magdesign Are you on
stableordevel?
I switched my daily drive from MX4 to Nexus 5 but so far it seems that I have a bit of battery drain and I'm not getting a good standby battery life unlike on MX4. -
Currently on stable.
Also run 2 days on dev branch. -
can i get a help on nexus 5 my battery is still new buy it last around 22 hours with 2g only no data no wifi on stand by i think this very bad.
and when i open the battery settings i see my last full charge in is like 140 hours ago even though i just took it from the charger is this normal ? -
@stan You say your battery is new? Is it an original or from a third party vendor? My guess is that there is something wrong with your battery, I am afraid.
-
@arubislander it's new original
how can i restart the last full charge ? -
@stan I am afraid I don't now much about Nexus 5 batteries. Hopefully someone with more experience in the matter will drop by shortly
-
Since I installed the actual Release-channel-update the battery management of the Nexus 5 improved a lot. The time where I do not have to charge the phone at least doubled - or even more.
This morning I had a bigger loss - maybe the problem is not totally solved - but now it is really better than good!
-
@Mic_ may be i should switch to release channel instead of stable.
how long does it take for the stable to catch with the release channel. -
@stan With the release of OTA-12. Which will be arriving shortly. Though for the time it takes to switch channels in System Settings I would give it a try now. You can easily swop back the same way
-
@Lakotaubp thank you so much i'm installing the release channel version now . while we chat. when OTA 12 release i will switch back to stable
-
@stan Or if you want a little excitement stay on RC for your weekly update.
-
@Lakotaubp it looks like i'm going to do that because not sure why but it looks smoother and more responsive than stable
-
@stan It should be. It will be the new stable. Then it all starts again
-
@Lakotaubp looking great thanks for the suggestion
-
Maybe a hardware issue, but my Nexus5 drains the battery in 1-2 days even when turned off.
While running, it seems to have more or less normal battery life. -
@poVoq said in Observations on battery life - please share your experiences:
when turned off
Strange - but if the phone is off the system is not working. Hardware.
I would say: Never turn it off again
-
Well, given that there is still some battery charging stuff running, even when the main OS is turned off, maybe there is an firmware issue of some sort? Could anyone else with a Nexus5 try and see what happens with a turned off device?
Fairphone 5 (waiting for port)
-
@poVoq Never happen during the last years on my N5. I had somtimes the situation that the phone was black - but not off. If u press off-buttom for more than 5 seconds.
I never had a phone which needs a remarkable amount of energy while beeing off. This problem I only know from a Sony Vaio - never had on any other device.
-
as far is I can tell,
when turning off my Nexus5, it is off and does not drain battery
(never turned it off longer than 1 day, power percentage display was same as before turning off ).
