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.
@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!
@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:
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.
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!
