@Lakotaubp wanted to give an update, sadly no fix for the battery drain, I reloaded android to rule out the OS as the problem no luck there, switched back to Ubports, now I've lost the option to turn on hotspot / use the wifi. Looking to be more of a hardware problem now. oh well, think I will try and reload the OS again to see if I can at least get the wifi to work

@Lakotaubp I hope that is the problem, I have another one as I ordered two. I will swap it out when I get home. Would there be anything else I can try software side of things? reload OS again?

@arubislander I did install Anbox, on the 12th as I needed to use a ticket app to get in to a concert. At the time I also had the Dekko 2 app, and on the Friday after turning the phone back on the app was gone. So I reinstalled the OS using the installer with the full wipe box checked on Saturday hoping that would help with the battery. I installed the new battery on Monday. Right now I'm down 33% from full charge in one hour.

So about two weeks ago my phone started to have battery life problems.

Would go from full charge to dead in a few hours. So I purchased a replacement battery thinking that would solve the issue. Sadly it has not helped. My last full charge was two and a half hours ago and I'm down to 18% left. In that time I used the browser for maybe 20 minutes and made one call that lasted 5-6 minutes the rest of the time the phone was not in use.

Anyone have some pointers? or tricks I can try?

I was getting 14-16 hours of moderate use a day before this started to happen.

Phone: Nexus 5
OS: (OTA-7) stable
Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g266fa0

@lakotaubp Thank you for tips, I finally got it to come back on. After trying a bunch of things, what ended up working was plugging it in to my computer at work, I left it plugged in for a few hours, hit the power button and it showed the battery icon, almost fell out of my chair, held the button and it fired right up. Not sure why, but it's on and working again so I'm happy.

Hello,

Hope this is the right place to ask. I'm having power issues with Nexus 5.

The problem started this morning, got up unplugged my phone hit the the power button, nothing happened. Figured the plug must of not been in would just charge at work. Funny thing when I get to work I hit the power button again phone is on with 99%. It stopped working some time before noon, as I checked my phone to see the time and would not turn on again. Was using it on an off up till then.

The phone is brand new model D821, had it just over a month. Have been using it as my main phone and up until now I was getting 12-13 hours out of a charge. I don't think it is a bad power button. As nothing comes on lights/screen when plugged in to charge. This has me thinking something happen to the battery? just not sure that is the case or not.

Has anyone else experience any thing similar with their Nexus 5? and could give me tips to fix the problem.

Thank you.
