Disappointed in battery life

[jackroo]

I got my 5X new in July and have had nothing but problems with the battery. It's to the point now where it's ridiculous. I have literally tried everything: app using up too much battery check, cleared cache, battery saver mode, doze on the go (total joke), factory reset and just yesterday I swapped out the battery for a new one. Made no difference so I put the factory one back in. The problem I'm experiencing in particular is unusual drain. I wake up at 6am and read news. Keep in mind I have Bluetooth, wifi, etc off and brightness very dimmed plus the little night mode turned on. I browse news without watching video and after about 10-15 minutes of reading articles I'm down to 90℅! If I use Bluetooth and stream music on my way to work I'm down another 5℅ so when I start work after texting I'm down to 80. I've never had this with any other phone. I have to practically leave battery saver mode on and manually check it for mail. At lunch I was down to 45℅ today after just texting: no videos, games, etc and Bluetooth off, wifi off and screen dimmed. I look at what's using the most battery and it says screen Does the battery life just suck or am I missing something? Also, I'm running official 7.0. Does anyone know if beta 7.1.1 fixes battery? I'll try anything at this point to help battery life! It's a struggle to make it through a day.

I'm not experiencing any battery issues. Battery life could always be better of course but no real issue. You might have a hardware problem if none of the measures you've taken fix the excessive drain. Have you contacted Google or LG?

Could you share some screenshots of your battery usage screens? I'd like to see both the screen with the list of what's using your battery as well as the detailed chart that you can access by tapping the smaller chart.

You might try clearing your cache partition - if it gets corrupted, it can cause all sorts of issues similar to what you're experiencing.

I'd also like to know if rebooting into Safe Mode has any effect on your battery drain.

The only battery problems I have had my Nexus 5 or 5x were caused by wonky apps. Normally, I don't have a battery problem. But, I have no games on my phone and do no social media.
