So Guys android 5.0 is here and i think most of u have tried it.So hows Battery performance on lollipop?
I feel it's worse TBH. I've tried several different roms and revisions and it still seems to be worse. Maybe I'm just playing with my phone more but my SOT can't seem to break 4 hours and it usually can't go all day on a charge.
Same. My battery life definitely seems worse.
I had better battery life on the developer Preview!!
this sucks
after removing Google Now and Google Fit, it has improved a bit, but still bad.
On some days it's pretty bad and on other days it isn't with pretty much the same setup... LOL
I accept the fact that battery has gotten worse with Lollipop, but I'm sure they'll fix this on the next release.
Chill~
Worse.
Developer Preview was significantly better than stick KK, final release the same as KK if not slightly worse. Was definitely expecting more from LP.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium HD app
mine is definitely way way way better
I'm a heavy user and its better than KK
I had the dev preview and Battery life was better than KK
Now on final release battery life is 1% drain per minute if I dont use the phone (but I discovered exchange services and gmail had updated from the one from the apk's I installed on the dev preview
re built again last night and max is 4 hours again without using the phone
2nd rebuld I did not restore anything
KK could be a day or 2 with using the phone before needing a charge

Ok, here is my xperia z3 compact not been charged for at least a day, has all the same apps and is used about the same as the Nexus 5 (z3 running kitkat, with NO power saving features enabled) and actually has a lot more apps running than Lollipop
and this is the Nexus 5 with only the apps you can see listed as running apps that was from a full charge overnight
It has dropped another 4% since taking that pic
In my case, the standby time of my N5 (which is new, I got it back from a RMA a month ago, so its battery isn't worn) is much worse on Lollipop than Kitkat: it drops 5% battery in one night in airplane mode, while 4.4.4 barely dropped 1%. On the other hand, the battery life when using the phone is way better! Before updating, I always got less than 4h SoT; now I get past 4.30 without even activating the battery saver.
So I'm not voting at the moment.
Mine is better than KitKat, some random drain's, quick soft reset fixes it.
Battery has definitely taken a hit wid L. Clean flash where
Mine's definitely better. I'm not a heavy user, but on KK I would need to charge during the day at work (usually afternoon time)...but now I can leave it till I get home.
I don't charge my N5 overnight, instead I wait to come in to work where I have a Qi charger on my desk. Usually I see it sitting at about 95% when I put it on the charger at work after leaving it alone all night. This morning I see it at 65%. I have never had it drop that low in one night before android 5 showed up.
What is even more interesting is that the battery stats claim that basically no one has been using any battery power. The highest number is 3% for wifi with 2% and 1% for a few other things, so where the heck did the 35% of the battery charge go?
I was in a similar situation as most people in this thread but currently I'm on my first discharge cycle on optipop rom with uber kernel and im on 4 hour screen on time with 20% to go.
I have google now off and location on and spent most of my time on wifi with avg cell signal.
I flashed the OTA manually and haven't done a factory reset, but the battery life is better than ever. 3 days and 9 hours, and 3.27 h screen on time. Brightness is set to auto.

Of course, if pay more games, I'll get it down much much faster.
I have some random battery drain issues too. But I think the issues belongs to 3rd party apps. In the safe mode there's not any battery drain. The 3rd party apps aren't compatible with Lollipop yet. So the main issue is this apps. Now 'Im trying to uninstall and reinstall the apps to find which apps drain the battery in deep sleep. I think which apps has a "cancel deep sleep mode" permission may drain battery if it's not updated for Lollipop. It's just a guess though.
First my battery life was really bad. I couldn't figure it out. I decided to do full wipe and it helped a lot. Now the battery life is better than on kitkat.

I'm getting worse battery life than any ROM stock or not I've run on the phone. I had better battery life on the dev previews. I don't think I've broken 3 hours screen on time or mixed usage(screen time+music time)once since the official image came out. I've done 2 or 3 clean flashes of the image and had also tried the Nexus 5 Experience ROM. I've used it each time rooted. Last night I did another clean flash of the image locked the bootloader and am going to try running it unrooted for a day or so with only 4 or 5 user apps installed. It shouldn't make a difference but I'm going to see what happens.

I've been a 32GB unlocked HTC One owner since day one. Battery life for me has been very mediocre, barely enough to make it through a work day with light to moderate usage. For some reason this phone drains so much on standby it's ridiculous. Last week I finally gave in and decided to root. I've found that standby still sucks but the screen uses less power so I can get more screen on time on average. I'm running InsertCoin with ElementalX kernel and for every hour of standby I lose ~3+ percent of battery! I'm not even using the phone! I have EVERY APP on my phone Greenified, Google Search, Gmail, and Play Music uninstalled, I have the phone undervolted and monitor everything with Wakelock Detector and GSAM. Nothing looks weird to me but for some reason my standby still sucks. I've literally crippled my phone and have all location services turned off and I still can't get good standby time. My iPhone 5 could last forever on standby, literally 3-5 hours without losing a single percent. I've been using Android for years and the only phone that got GOOD battery life was the Note 2. At this point I'm considering going back to it because I'm sick of micromanaging my phone and still not getting good results.
Is anyone else having similar issues? There are some people here getting 6+ hours on screen time with ridiculous numbers like 38 hours without a charge. I can't get anywhere near that even with the screen on the dimmest settings. I don't understand how there's so much variation in battery life. I don't play any games or watch movies on the phone, just simple social networking and music for 30 minutes a day.
The HTC one isn't the best phone when it comes to standby time but still,I find battery life to be pretty good, super easy to get through a work day. Maybe you have an app that is running in the background and draining your battery. Install betterbatterystats and try monitoring your apps. That's all I can think of. Also take a look at the battery stats thread and see if folks can help you there.

As you are well aware, there can be a myriad of causes. I just want to recount one example where I made a settings adjustment which cut my battery life by over half. I doubt very much this is the reason for your poor battery life but perhaps others may benefit.
About a month ago I purchased a brand new router. Being a tinkerer, I was fiddling with this and that on the router trying to optimize everything. I also played with the phone and amongst various settings I decided to turn on "best wifi performance". The One has the warning about "may consume more power", but I did not think much about it as I knew I had very good battery life and believed that a bit more power would probably not change matters that much.
Later on in the evening I saw that my battery life was horrendous and I started scratching my head as to why it had gone to hell in a hand basket. Finally, I recalled that I had adjusted "best wifi performance" and did a search on this and found a thread on another forum.
I turned it off, recharged my phone and followed battery life keenly. 24 hours later, I could see that my battery life had returned to normal (normal being between 4-6 hours of screen on time over the duration of a full charge).
Interested if the mods will lock this thread in that they may feel that this should fall under the battery stats thread.

Battery life of the One is pretty good for most people but there are some issues for some of us and lately some apps have updated and introduced even more bugs causing drain, I'll list some of the causes I found:
-msm_hsic_host wakelock bug on kernels pre- android 4.2.2
-location bug in google play store 4.1.6, fixed in 4.1.10
-whatsapp post juli 1st update (and the one before)
-htc usage reporting (on by default on s-off devices)
-reporting location setting on (in maps)
-some sim cards might not work to well which cause more frequents wake up (eg. in the netherlands vodafone sim cards with a serial number starting with 7 )
to properly debug you need wakelock detector and better battery stats (free here for xda users, search for it)
Edit:Just got an update for Whatsapp (and Facebook and Skype all at once), let's hope it fixes the battery drain.....
Maybe undervolted too much.

Although I have pretty good battery life when screen on (~5-6 hours), I have noticed the same drain as you when phone is in standby. The only huge wakelock that I have found is called 10113, AudioOut_4 or system*wakelock* mediaserver. I know that this process is for audio output but its draining like 20% of my battery when standby I was wondering if you have noticed this same wakelock on your phone?
I whatsapp and check Twitter news apps sometime a game.
And i can do easy 12 hours max 17 with this usage .

I was just thinking of the good battery performance I've been getting from the handset so far funnily enough.
I think it's been very good after only a couple of days with it.
Been using it moderately to heavy and it's held up pretty well. Over 13 hours now. Maybe it's certain apps u are using that's giving u problems with high drainage.

I was having similiar problem with my HTC One tends to overheat a lot resulting in poor battery life. I tried every known tricks to get better battery life still no hope. Went to HTC Care in my area and told about the issue they immediately took it for repair (the phone was only one week old). After like waiting three days I got my phone and back there was a paper which describes about the repair Its said in the problem description "Display Abnormally and Battery Calibration issue" I dont know what they meant with display abnormally they really got fixed my battery life. Before I used to get 6 to 7 hours of battery life now I m averaging a day or two with moderate to light use. I m satisfied ! :good:

I think you misunderstand what overheat means. The HTC One does NOT overheat. You feel the heat more cos of it's metal body, which is releasing the heat through the metal surface. It's directing heat AWAY from the internals, unlike the S4 which uses the same chip and keeps all the heat inside cos plastic is a terrible heat transfer medium.

I dont know if its just me. I also understand that battery life will be reduced when moving to new OS' however, im having to charge my g2 up twice a day and im hardly using it heavily. Play alittle clash of clans surf the internet and thats it. Actually right now seems to be a record woke up at 6 and i just got the 15% alert...whiskey tango foxtrot. Is lollipop genuinely that bad on battery life? Or is my phone reaching the old age point?
Lollipop is definitely worse than kitkat but it sounds like you need a factory reset.
my mom complain of bad battery life after upgrading to lollipop
My wife's phone will discharge sitting there in non-use in 6 hours. 4 hours or less if actually being used some. totally unacceptable. I did a FDR and still don't see imrpovement.
I'm not a big LG fan, so I haven't kept up with how to flash/root these things, if it was real easy I'd flash it back to kitkat. My wife loved the phone prior to the update but this is making this phone nearly unusable, and not suitable for its purpose (if it has to be plugged in all the time, is it really a cell phone?).
I was losing 5-6% per hour with Lollipop with my phone just sitting as well. I rolled it back to kitkat and have used 1% per hour today. I havent used the phone much today and have 90% left after 10 hours of use. I'm much happier with kitkat. I also have the LG 8.3 tablet and am not going to take lollipop update.
Sent from my VK810 4G using Tapatalk
So now that we've all had a chance to run 5.1 for a while, how do you guys compare the droid turbo battery life on lollipop vs kitkat?
I get better battery with KitKat. Maybe I just need to run it longer to break it in. I used to unplug my phone at 9 AM and plug it in at 11PM with 20% left and 4 hour screen. With lolipop, I had to plug it in now at 6PM with 30% battery and 2.5 SOT.

That's what I figured myself... I've been getting slightly worse battery with 5.1 but my friend swears he's been getting a better battery life on lollipop
I too get a slightly worse, or at least no slightest improvement of, battery life. Of course I have only unplugged the phone the first time after upgrading for a few hours so it is just my impression, but my usage pattern is just the same as I did yesterday.
Much better on Lollipop for me.

I'm actually getting a lot better battery life. Im ending the day right now with around 60% and on KK I would typically be down to around 15% at this time. However I had particularly bad battery life on KK
About 3 1/2 hours on screen time and I'm at 34% battery. A bit of an improvement for me versus KitKat.

Factory reset, and/or look at your battery drain. As posted by others we are getting better life post update, so it's not the LP itself that is causing the issue but something hanging on your phone causing it.
May I ask whether it is normal for Google Play Services to stay awake for nearly the entire period since unplugged? If not, what can I do before factory reset?

I haven't noticed any difference. The phone has stayed in the 20-30% range when i get home in the afternoon from work.

Google play services is the 4th on mine. Top of the list, right below screen, is Android OS. I find that as long as I disable apps I don't use my battery is pretty good. Unplugged it around 9am and I'm at 63%.

i'm still on stock ROM (LP 5.1), rooted, bootloader unlocked, but running Xposed. I get great battery life (rarely dipping below 50% at the end of the day) to the point where I'm hesitant to flash anything else.
I'm new to this device (1 week old), changed ROM on day one for Mokee lastest nightly and battery life was really bad, it lasted half day. Yesterday I flashed BB kernel and Intelliprofile in battery saver mode and now I get almost a day.
I don't play games, mainly browsing and some GPS.
So far I'm really disappointed with the battery of this phone, I bought it for its massive 3.900 mah battery but it's lasting the same as my previous Galaxy S4mini (1900mah).
I went to computerfreak ROM. Moto ROM is definitely not as nice as CM. I want to see what this phone is really made of on stock ROM. Unless it's ridiculously better I will probably go back to CM.
Battery life is definitely better. My phone rarely warms up a bit. I wonder what causes this pretty big difference. I think my next step will be a custom kernel in cm13. I am guessing the cm kernel is way more performance oriented than stock.

I'm going to try with Stock MM (MPG24.107-70.2 Brazilian 6.0.1 for XT1254[TWRP Flashaeable]) tomorrow.
I been on vacation since I started the thread. I get about a day out of the phone with some city map use, occasional browsing(1.5h max) , pictures 15 min of phone talking and about 20 texts. I have about 20% left at the end of the day.
Is the battery capacity displayed in apps like gsam the actual capacity or designed capacity? I wonder if I should just replace the battery.
I don't remember ever getting 5-6hrs SOT. Even when new, I would get about 3-4hrs... and I'm still getting about that on stock-44. It's good enough for my needs, but I still wonder how people get so much more SOT than I do... what am I doing wrong?!
My wife is barely pushing 2hrs SOT... really don't know what's wrong with her phone... still trying to figure that out. She ends up with a dead phone by the end of the day, with very little usage. (I game a little on my phone, and I still get more SOT).
I get around 4 hours of SOT with playing games and browsing. I'm using computer freeks ROM because I can't go without 4g. 3g is just so freaking slow it makes me not even want to use my phone.
For me, the best ROM for battery life is the Brazilian Marshmallow ported to droid turbo by @iiWoodstocK. I get ~6 hours of SoT and once the phone lasted 3 days with >6 hours of SoT. Usage included Youtube, WhatsApp, tapatalk, browsing, routine calls and text and a few hundred times of opening the settings and looking at the battery screen
I am finally getting great battery life
CM 13
BHB27 kernel
Interactive governor
Intelliprofiles
Govtuner set to daily
Greenified shallow hibernation most apps.
My locked phone battery draw with music playing is ~50-70 mah. Can go as low as ~30 without music. I used to be above 300 mah. Phone never warms up while idle. I get good SOT battery life, but I don't have numbers to compare.

Let me chime in on this.. Do not put a lot of stuff on your device with stock rooted or unrooted.. My phone had Xposed and gravity box installed.. For some reason, a lot of apps tend to over heat this phone to the point were it become useless.. Hell the battery would drain in about 3 hrs of use.. I called Moto about it, and at one point my phone was 129F hot... This phone is fine, but can not imop handle a lot of apps... My wife Note 4 can handle anything I throw at it without ever over heating..
My phone used to get hot browsing... heck even sitting. Now it does not get as warm even with GPS and music streaming at the same time.

My phone used to get hot browsing... heck even sitting. Now it does not get as warm even with GPS and music streaming at the same time.

I turn WiFi and GPS off when not using them. Battery life on Bliss ROM with custom kernel, phone is always cool and battery life is amazing.
stock rom
4g, wifi, etc etc
at home with wifi about 6 to 7 hours
with 4g out about 5 hours
Hello, I'm a new user on xda (but actually a longtime reader). I finally decided to upgrade to Nougat with OTA updates. My device works perfectly fine, except for the battery. I have another android running rooted stock Motorola nougat with similar apps and usage and able to survive until midnight with 15% battery left on on medium use, while my Note 5 can't even survive half a day on light usage.
In battery usage stats, most battery use percentage is the screen, followed by device idle. I don't use LTE with hope it can help, and using 720p resolution to see wether it can also help. The screen on time lies around 3-4 hours but the standby drain is very annoying.
My device has never been rooted. I'm considering flashing a rom if it can help the battery issue, but I use the S-pen a lot and don't want to lose its functionallity by using a rom without the S-pen apps. Right now I'm considering flashing a ported version of Note FE rom by RadeonMaya. Is it good for these purpose?
Any idea on what to do?
The Note5 is over 3 years old, don't expect good battery life. Even when new it was bad. 3-4 hours of Screen time is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I only get 2 max.

Thanks. Perhaps i'll consider buying a battery case or something.
Get the battery replaced. I did mine myself and it's like a new phone again
