Nope, what ROM are you running?
Same here.
Less than 21hours since charged and 10% battery remaining. I've hardly used the phone in that time, 40mins screen time. Google Services, Google App and Android OS are the top three battery usages.

how else can i put 5.1 on m phone without wiping it? i've got tha ota update come through, but it fails every time when trying to install. what can i do as the update notification wont f off and i don't want to wipe the phone as only just done a full refresh a week or so ago
What you can do is, install custom recovery Teamwin or Clockwork. But you have to have root access, than make a backup of all the stuff you want.
I would recommend TWRP and ROM Manager

Download the update manually, and flash it using Nexus Root Toolkit. Make sure you tick the option to disable phone wipe before starting it though.

^ doing it now. hope it works. thanks
I'm running CM11 and my battery life with normal use is... Within 8-10 hours the battery goes down by 2% so that's why my phone survived 4 days, there are some spikes as I plugged it to my PC couple of times to get some pictures from it.
Although, I'm thinking of flashing a different custom ROM as sometimes there are problems with greenify causing my phone to crash. That forces me to fully reboot the phone, as the soft boot doesn't do anything...
Has anyone used any of those ROM's?
Chroma
Euphoria
I just want a ROM with better camera, I wouldn't mind flashing a module into my current ROM as its really stable apart from the occasional crashes caused by Greenify...

You must have a duff battery, mine was taken off charge this morning at 08:00, 83.5 minutes of screen time with wi-fi and it's showing 66% now.
It's very likely caused by the wakelocks, install THIS app and see if e.g. Google Services are the cause of your battery draining. I had this issue with Google Services and Google Music Search service which constatnly woke up my phone and asked for the location which caused my phone to go out of charge in less than a day...
P.s. If you're running on Lolipop it might be worth looking into Gapps from Banks.

Now 108 minutes with 38% left
I've received the Kenu Airframe some time ago and test it on a really bumpy road. The airframe stayed positioned exactly the way I left it and the phone sat nicely in the holder. I had a comparison to a cheap ebay holder, not mine as it was my friends. But that test is not really fair as that holder is probably nearly 1 year old now and he uses it quite a bit. I'll buy another one from ebay soon to compare new expensive holder vs budget Chinese holder. But the spring was less resistant and not sure if the phone wouldn't unclip driving on the roads at those speeds I did with the Kenu test...
