The battery drain problem should have to be looked into in this device, or a newer device to be found, with a known better battery life to port UT to. Android 9 Pie fork for this N5 is doing quite well -- normal usage, few calls, few smses, few looks in the web, the battery had lost only 26% since yesterday 11 p.m (full charge). Now it is 5.15 p.m. Bit more than 18 hours. (Thinking of buying a N6 or N6P to test too.)

Of course it needs to be worked on. It's a bug. Bugs need fixing. However, to fix such bugs requires developers with certain specific knowledge. It doesn't matter what device it is. There is no guarantee that newer devices will have better battery life than we have currently on the Nexus 5. It requires specific domain knowledge for such issues to be fixed, and a certain domain knowledge to get working ports in the first place. The "Android 9" bit is mostly irrelevant, because it's still using the same kernel as it came with under Android 4.4. The same kernel we're using in UT.
The Nexus 5 with minimal usage should really have battery last almost 2 full days. There are obviously some issues that need fixing.
So can you please refrain from this "either or" argumentation that we either must fix it or support some newer device. They are not mutually exclusive problems.

I think we have now done this subject more than enough and are now rapidly approaching the going round in circles point.
We are well aware of the nexus 5 and its battery issues and I think now all points of view have been put.
On a different note please remember to be polite and considerate when conducting discussions on the the forum.
