I've posted this before in a more general battery thread but got little response, so I'm trying again in its own thread. I notice my Nexus 5, under the same usage conditions, can get very inconsistent battery.
On certain days, doing the exact same routine, getting the exact same poor reception in my office, I typically get this sort of battery life (which, I think, is pretty good):
You can tell the culprit that's taxing the batteries the most is cell standby because of the weak reception in my building. All fine.
However, on certain "bad days," this is the result:
Again, this is with more or less the same reception, same routine, and with even less time off battery, yet the drainage is much faster. What gives?
You'll notice also, on one of the "bad days," I rebooted, and you can tell almost immediately that the battery drainage is leveling out in the graph after where I rebooted the phone:
As far as I know, I am not installing weird new apps or running apps I don't normally run on a near daily basis. Yet the battery results vary by a noticeable amount.
Anyone know what's going on here?
