Ever since the 5.1 OTA (Or Google Services 7.0.99, I'm not sure), I've been experiencing bad battery life.
I downloaded Better Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector to try to find the culprit and this is what I've found.
- Connected to my wifi at home my Nexus 5 sleeps just fine.
- At work (wifi) I'm having a lot of wlan_rx and wlan_wd wakelocks and high awaken times due to this.
- When on mobile data it all gets worse: I'm getting hundreds of instances of RILJ wakelock in a matter of minutes, and sometimes Gmail often appears first on the list with high wakelock counts and times. Google+ and Keep also make frequent appearances I'm Wakelock Detector
- BBS ALWAYS shows bam_dmux_wakelock as the main culprit and sometimes sensor_ind (on mobile data), but I don't know what to make of that, since WD shows other things (RILJ etc).
Regarding RILJ: almost everything I've found online says that it has something to do with network location and that turning off location history removes it, but I rarely have location services on (GPS or network location) and location history is off anyway. I've tried disabled NetworkLocationService and every other service regarding location using disable service to no avail. It doesn't seem to happen when the phone is in 2G only.
Gmail frequently shows up in WD with high counts and times, I've seen Keep and Google+ in there too, first on lists. I've disabled them both for now.
In the battery stats the activity bars doesn't seem to be all that different from the screen on bars, but both WD and BBS show high awake times (sometimes as high as +20%). This is when on mobile data or connected to the wifi at work (wifi at home is just fine).
I tried downgrading to 5.0.1 (there now), installing Google Services 7.3.29, disabling a bunch of services, but nothing helps.
Google Services shows up as using more energy than anything else, sometimes even more than the screen, but only when mobile data is enable, it doesn't use energy when on wifi. There's no high data traffic as some people is experiencing with 7.X versions. The wlan wakelocks are awful at work though. So there are like several, independent problems.
I'd appreciate any insight on this matter. I don't seem to be the only one experiencing this.
I'm leaving a few screen shots. I'll post BBS screenshot by the end of the day.
