Two questions:
1) How does the JuiceDefender widget calculate its savings? No WAY it is giving me 3x battery life (which it says at its peak) or even 1.4x (which it says at the lowest)?
2) Are there any similar apps that you guys use to save battery life that still allow for scheduled activating of APN/WiFi so I can get my e-mail/updates/etc.
Thanks!
anyone?

I was gonna say you could just use the Juice Defender widget, which allows you to switch off your APN at will. I use it, quite a nice little widget..
ya but that doesn't let me save battery and get push mail

if you use ultimate juice with juice defender, you can set it to more than 1min every 15 (when apn enabled during time phone is sleep). I have mine set for 5 min every 15, and I'm not seeing any email issues. My N1 went from 7hrs battery life with heavy usage (text, twitter, browsing n a couple calls here n there) to 13 solid since using.
I have to agree with 5 minutes ever 15 as the key. I now get my email just fine, and this thing seriously saves battery life. 300% sounds a bit silly, but 1.5x is definitely in the realm of possibility. Eitherway a worthwhile app

Agreed but I'm confused as to why it is so inaccurate.
I got ultimate juice but it is not letting me get to 5 min for every 15, is there something I am supposed to do differently? It will only let me do 5min for every 30
The free version allows you to switch it to 3 minutes every 15 which is adaquate for me to reliably get gmail and two pops. I have used it on stock, cm and enomther and in all cases it gave me a small but noticable gain on battery life.

Can anyone look at these screenshots and advise me on how I can get better performance from my battery? I just flashed SkyICS (latest version) hoping to get better performance from my battery, but it doesn't seem to help. This is with what I would consider medium to heavy usage. I used my phone most of the day to browse the web and check facebook.
Any ideas?
Yeah a bigger battery and some fairy dust

Looks like the screen has been on for at least 4 hours. All you can really do is underclock it and freeze all the stuff you don't use.
Guess I will research how to underclock.... any good starting points?

Here's a couple basic and obvious tips and you might already know this, but no one has mentioned it yet in this thread so...
Turn wifi off when there are no wifi networks to join, but I've heard not to let it sleep when you are wifi connected.
Leave bluetooth and gps off when not using it. I don't let allow any of google's location services to run in the background myself. Not sure how well that helps the battery though.
Some people say leaving off autobrightness turned off will help battery life and some say leaving it turned on is better for battery performance. I'm not sure who is right but you might try it both ways and see if one is better for you.
I've tried most of those things and they don't seem to help.
I'm in an area with lte but coverage is spotty at work. Could that be what is mainly killing the battery?

There is no normal, everyone has different setups, different apps, and different lifestyles. If you're saying the screen has been on for 41 minutes, that seems ok.
Thanks for the help everyone. I guess I'll just keep chargers handy
how is your N5 battery life discussion ? when you turn on everything such as bluetooh on , NFC on, sync on, gps on, and brightness set to either 100% or to auto, I wonder how long is your nexus can get through since you fully charged the phone itself from 5-6am in the morning . can it last till evening 10pm if the whole day you use it for texting , facebook, instagram, chrome with 5 tabs minimum , youtube, mail, reading news, recording video and take a snap from the camera .
a humble experience from all of you will be highly appreciate guys.
p.s = the reason why I making this thread is to compare with how good the battery with moto x.

I should be more specific, I'm talking about ordinary people. The people taking pictures using N5 and comparing it to the iPhone 5S are media outlets who have had prior access to the device (or early access from Google).
And honestly if they DO have the phone then they cannot comment on the battery life because it'll take at least 3-5 days (given a week) for the battery to settle in. Not to mention, you won't be doing your daily things on the phone as you'll be busy setting it up with the apps you've used in the past/transferring data/etc.

Nothing a little Titanium backup can't solve. By the looks of the other threads in the forum some people have had the device for a while... As early as the beginning of October. No point in shooting down someone's thread just because you have nothing to contribute to it.

Its lovely but so is the black I got both here but prefer the white.
The OS is the biggest change, a lot has changed in kitkat. Different ways to access different things and the app menu is completely different. Battery life I got near 3h 58 with 10 percent left from 82 percent and that's from restoring all my apps and more so I'm kinder hoping we'll reach 5h or a little more. Screen is beautiful but speaker isn't great. Though I'm comparing the speaker to a 5S which is pretty good.

I have nothing to contribute? ...... you can't tell the battery life with having the device for less than a week.
This thread is just as pointless as the threads asking for the best ROM/Kernel or threads asking when TMobile will have N5?
I'm not shooting anyones thread but its just a silly question to ask when the phone was released just a little over 24 hours when only <1% of orders requested has been fulfilled. The only ones with the phones right now are media outlets or the individuals who ordered immediately and live in a close proximity to the point that they can have next-day shipping pretty much.

I would say yes, who knows what your screen brightness was at even though I am sure it was probably at auto. Talking on the phone can drain a lot of battery.
Why note 3 to nexus 5, seems odd?
Well you did talk on the phone for a while. But Google Search is draining the battery more than it should. I would just reboot and do another full charge. Google Search was draining my Nexus 7 the other day and the reboot/recharge seemed to have fixed it. For now anyway. Android OS/Google Search seems to be a recurring bug. Unless of course you were using google now a lot, in which case it would probably be normal.

I always loved the nexus 4 and when I used the neuxs 5 in person I fell in love with the design and how smooth it was. But the battery is starting to worry me. I'm on cataclysm rom with Franco kernel r22. I have WiFi on with the phone using 3g only. I barely use Google search. The phone calls werent that long either. I just feel like the battery is being drained way to fast for no reason. I keep most apps closed after I'm done using then. I had greenify on and I have the kernel set to 1.7ghz.

I would take the nexus 5 over the g2. This seems like the longest ongoing argument in the Nexus 5 forums. There is a thread "g2 v nexus 5 I have both" but I stopped looking at it after like the second page because it was a useless thread that just makes you go what the hell. Nexus 5 will have the most support unless you are just going to buy it and slap CM on it. I think the g2 has a better speaker for listening to music but the Nexus 5 is easily fixed with a flash of a zip here and there. Camera wise I do not know. Remember nexus 5 is unlocked and is easystreet to root and unlock the bootloader. Make sure the g2 isn't carrier subsidized because it's a little more difficult to get through those phones, still can be done just not as easy as n5. :good:

Hi mate,
If you stick to Wifi and mobile data the whole day, 6-7 hours backup you will get :-|
Else with minimum usage of everything, it gives you a day backup

I would definitely take the N5! I come from a LG G2 myself, but it just wasn't doing it for me.
The Nexus 5 just seems so much more professionally made - both hardware and software wise (mostly due to the lag of LG UI). It feels so much better in the hand.
I too was scared that I would be disappointed by the smaller battery in the N5, but I took the step because everything else would be so much better.
AND I LOVE MY NEXUS 5! I don't regret it one bit!
Luckily the battery didn't disappoint me at all. As you can see in another post of mine, it actually performs almost as well as the G2! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49901859&postcount=1822

6-7 hours backup? I just went over 3 days on a charge. Granted it wasn't heavy usage, but I'd say 3.5+ hours screen time over 3 days is pretty great. 100% stock unrooted mobile data on the whole time.

Are you getting that much amount of battery back up on your Wifi??
Because I'm using stock too and getting one day battery backup on usage of Wifi + mobile data :-|
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I actually don't use WiFi as I have unlimited data. In the past I found WiFi to cause more of a battery drain in standby, but most people will say WiFi uses less battery. I usually charge every 2 days with about 4 hours screen time.
Everyones use varies though, if you look in the battery life threads you'll find all kinds of different results. Some considerably better than mine, others much worse.

@95Z28,
Are you getting that much amount of battery back up on your Wifi??
Because I'm using stock too and getting one day battery backup on usage of Wifi + mobile data :-|

I get great battery even on WiFi. 3% battery loss all night.
Bare in mind I still had 1/3 of battery left at these screenshots. So based on them numbers I can get 2 full days at least with at least 6 hours of screen time.
This was at home pretty much all the time constantly connected to WiFi.

It's an ideal time mate!
When you use it on normal usage, I don't think it will give you!
It's a cool battery back that you are getting

I'd pick the Nexus 5 if you either like to flash new stuff or want a phone that is updated for longer. If pure speed is your thing, I saw a comparison and the G2 was clearly faster.

16hrs on battery
Over 2 hours screen time
2/3 of battery left
Lots of xda

A little music and a few calls and texts

Hi mate,
It's pretty cool battery backup you are getting
I do lot of heavy usage all the time
Synching, remote control, streaming videos etc

By remote control are you meaning like vnc/remote desktop. If so that is a major killer on battery life.
Don't know why but every android device I have used with remote desktop seems to make it run at full throttle, get really warm then kill the battery.

If you're going to have it for 3-4 years, it should definitely be a nexus 5.
The ease of development on this device will allow smooth upgrades even after google drops support after its 18 month cycle.
Look at this:

This is a 4 year old device now. It runs kitkat, and personally as I've modified a friends nexus one to run this, it runs pretty decently enough.
Nexus man.
edit: already answered
I don't understand why the Nexus 5 speakers are always called into question in threads like these. Am I the only one who thinks the stock speaker settings are just fine and are capable of reaching volumes high enough for me to never use?
