5.1.1 Power Usage

[bjrosen]

I installed 5.1.1 a couple of days ago. Power consumption seems to be noticeably better. Is it my imagination or are others seeing improvement?

I've noticed a massive improvement.

Usually by the end of the day (before updating to 5.11) my Nexus 5 would be at about 15%-20%.

Since updating its at about 50% by the end of the day.

Very pleased so far!

I've really noticed it as not only do I use it all day long to listen to music but I use it as my work phone and I have work appson here.
I also listen to audio through the night and used to have to charge 3 or 4 times and have it on ac at night but now it's just once during the day to fully charge after work and topped up before a night of use. Was starting to bug me so really nice to see a company get in there first before its a huge problem. xx ❤ xx

Is not your imagination. This update seems good! Better performance and battery. I noticed that.

That's interesting. I'm not using my 5 as a daily driver at the moment so I can't comment.
It would also be interesting to hear from users who notice no obvious difference, or even users who notice seemingly worse battery, if there be such in either category.

I haven't received the update yet but I sure hope my battery improves!

Battery not really improved as far as I can tell. It's either the same or slightly worse.

Did the upgrade a few days back and battery life does appear to be better.

Just updated today so I'll let you know in a couple days. Keeping fingers crossed because it has been pretty bad with Lollipop so far.
