@poVoq Super useful! You are 100% correct, what I have is MHL. Couldn't for the life of my figure it out. Had the external display switch on, tried every HDMI cable I could find around the house. Saved me from going crazy. Thanks!

Thanks all. Changed the battery. Has been run 15 hours since (not in airplane mode but syncing in the background on wifi) and battery is now at 42%. So that's about 26 hours expected with light usage and probably about 2 full days worth if put in airplane mode over night. Really impressive.

@cliffcoggin Thanks. Great. I will definitely put in the spare battery I have.

Hi All,

Just got a nice and cheap refurbished Nexus 5 and am very much enjoying my first foray into linux on a phone. UBPorts has done a fantastic job keeping this OS alive. Some parts of the user experience are really excellent and unique.

I have two questions though that I can't seem to find an easy answer to and was hoping you could help:

1. Power Consumption: What would a typical amount of power consumption be? I'm not sure the exact numbers but if I were to leave the phone fully-charged before going to bed but not connected it would be drained by the time I wake up (6-7 hours later). Yesterday, out and about, it lasted about 3 hours. Is this typical or does it seem like the battery could use replacing? I have a spare battery, just would like to avoid pulling the phone apart right now.

2. Convergence. What, if anything, do I need to do to get the phone to show up on a screen? I have a usb to HDMI converter (that nicely also allows the power supply to be connected) but when I connect to my screen it doesn't seem to register. Ordinarily would it be automatically seen by the screen or is there a setting I need to change or a more formal dock needed?

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
