Hey everybody.
I have a nexus five running 6.0.1
My battery life seems bad.
my battery percentage drops down fast
but when i go to battery usage to see what kills my battery,i find that the Consumed percentage there isn't exact like in the embeded battery percentage.
wether my battery isn't calibrated or i got a hidden killer.
please anyone could explain to me what could be my issue.

The total percentage of battery use by the listed apps doesn't necessarily add up to the total that you observe was actually used.

Show us some battery stats. Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:


1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).

Sorry--it's best to let it drain down to 20-30% and show us the stats, not down by 20-30%. So charge up to 100%, then use it until the battery level is reading 20-30%.

Something is keeping the phone awake a lot, which could impact battery usage. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell which app it is using the stock battery menu. Try using GSam Battery Monitor, which can give more details.

The total percentage of battery use if you add up the apps listed in that menu often don't correspond with the actual battery used. I'm not exactly sure about the algorithm, but there may be some unreported apps or services that use battery, or there might be a number of apps that use a fraction of battery (which don't get reported, but that add up to a significant percentage).

Out of curiosity, why are you on 3G? Is there no 4G LTE where you are, or are you purposely forcing it to go to 3G?

thank you For your response.
i force my phone to turn to 3G as 4G signal is weak in my house which makes the phone goes to emergency calls only state and drains the battery.
i even Did calibrated my battery after i received another update of 6.0.1
but my battery is still draining.
I will use the app you mentioned and see.
thank you again dear.
