It's very laggy.
I did a comparison between my old S4 scrolling through engadget's mobile site and the s4 was smoother!
The battery life sucks. I'm having battery life anxiety.
The fingerprint reader misses many times.
The double click to launch the camera is kinda slow.
It's way heavier than either the s4 or the s5. And you can feel it, it's like a brick.
This thing gets crazy hot when in use.
So far, The only thing good about this phone is the camera. and the semi fast wireless charging.
I think it will be going back...
I don't have any of these issues on my black TMO S7.
OP sounds like a troll.
I think you have a defective unit... You need to try to get it replaced for a new one
Yeah that doesn't sound right. This is there fastest phone over ever owned and it heats the least even with wireless fast charging.
Troll alert? Nothing about the OP makes sense compared to a S4. Unless you are running some dated apps on 6.0.1 that could be misbehaving and causing some serious issues. Could have gotten a defective unit, but seems unlikely.
Do a factory reset. First thing I do on any new phone. Should really be using the phone a week before reporting battery issues.
I'm not having any of these issues besides battery life but that's a fault on my behalf. Only gets very warm after wireless charging
battery life sucking is definitely true. the battery is pretty god awful on my regular s7.

Battery life take time Phone has to optimize itself to your use, beyond that, Everything the OP states is the exact opposite of what I've seen with the phone so far. And after a couple of weeks of use, thanks TM for getting me this phone so early, the battery is not really having any issue during normal use.

That is "normal", but in this case it is the app that is misbehaving and not the phone itself. Use antutu or similar benchmark.

So I've had all latest android phone that have come out in the past year or so and I'm still not satisfied. Some phones like the HTC one and galaxy note 3 I've gotten multiple times. I've gone as extreme as the Sony xperia Z ultra. Thinking about getting the nexus 5 now. Who's happy or unhappy? What are your reasons for either? How do you feel about the phones battery for a heavy Internet user? How's the screen and camera? One thing I'm not concerned about is software as I like and simple device.

my suggestion is to stop being so picky as there is no such thing as perfection.
I have a couple gripes with it but overall I'm satisfied. It's fast, has great battery life, good call quality, etc.. But it's a pretty plain design, I really don't like the front of it- it kinda feels unfinished to me. Also, the screen, while accurate, seems absolutely washed out compared to other phones. But everything else is good. Have you tried the Moto X? I have that as well and I prefer it to the N5. Both are great phones but the X is something special. I had the HTC One and GS4 before it, and I like it the best out of all of them.
The battery is awful and i've been charged 2 times a day.
Display time is over 2to max 3hours with H+
And i sold it and buy it a Lg g2 mmm really good battery estimated to 4-6 hours display

Do you like custom roms? Thats what the N5 is for. Modifying the heck out of your device. Stock + GEL is boring and borderline bloatware. If you weren't happy with the Note 3, then I am not sure if you will like this. I would probably have bought a Note 3 over this if it wasn't hundreds of dollars more.
N5 Good for:
- AOSP Roms
- Modifying Software
- Low memory consumption
- Performance
N5 has middle-of-the-road:
- Screen
- Camera
- Battery life
- Build quality
- Speaker
- Stock software features

Was only getting 3hrs screen on time until I switched to franco kernel and now I am getting around 5hrs sot. Google always does a bad job with their stock kernels.
I love my nexus but really miss the battery of my note 2. I am considering getting a note 3 because of it.

The main battery killer is the screen, not the processor. If we had a tiny screen then you'd see how much more the battery last.

I'd have to agree with most that the battery is the worst thing about this phone. I average about 3.5-5 hours depending SOT. I play ingress often, so that is the main battery killer, even when I owned the GS3. If you like simple, easy to use and modify devices, this is the one. Otherwise, get something else.
Best battery I've ever had. 3.5-5 SoT is good. Can't believe people complain the nexus doesn't incorporate alien technology

Currently I'm very happy with my N5 :good:
At the beginning I was dissatisfied with battery, but now especially after flashing franco kernel evereything is just fine.
I was happy with my N4 battery life as I'm not scared of topping off a charge when around one.
I guess I'm the only one that has access to power.
So anyhow, my N5 battery life does me well.
To those that no longer own the phone, but continue to post bad about it, what is your deal??

I actually went in this thread expecting you to have commented. Anyway, on topic: I am happy with it. I don't know what people do to get such great battery. I get about 3 hours at most and that's rare. Usually I'm under 2 hours of SOT. But that's fine for me. I have an external battery for abnormal days. I love the speed of the device. It does everything with no lag or stutter and I value that a lot. I would say that is the biggest pro of the device so if you value that then go for it.
im new to this website and im sort of a noob in modding, but i heard people on xda are pros and can give me an inside opinion. i wanna buy a new phone and its either the lg g2 or nexus 5 for me. im a moderate user still in high school so you could say my phone is off for a good amount of time. i was set for the LG G2 but then after some good research i heard about all the problems with the touchscreen sensitivity becoming whacky and all multiple reports of terrible lag and stutter, i come from samsung and i despise lag the suffering i had with their devices was enough. now the main selling point for the g2 is the battery life, which i also heard can be inconsistent. my question goes out to nexus 5 users, as i need someone with personal experience. i use my phone when i come back from school around 4pm for 1-2 hours then its off until about 11 where i use it for maybe a max of 2.5 mainly facebook, whatsapp, bbm and sort of a lot of youtube. will the battery do me good? and how long will it last? I really need some help. PS. they're almost the same price where i am so i dont want comparisons of "its good enough for 350" i need honest(with screenshots if available) performance opinions. i could really use some help guys please
You're good to go.
Check the battery results thread for specifics but 3 hours SoT is about the minimum you can expect without touching anything.

Why?
If you are a heavy user then I would recommend getting the G2 instead, the battery life gap is just day and night in terms of difference. As for the stutters even N5 is not immune to that. For the touch screen issues, I have several friends who have the G2 and NONE of them have the issue/
I'm sorry, but does no one own a charger? It will last you the whole day. That's all that is needed. Put it back on the charger when you go to bed, Take it off the charger when you wake up.

how do different you think it is? like you have the n5 how much juice you get out of it and are you satisfied? as for the stutter, i heard a lot of stories about deteriorating performance and the ram being taken up more than 1.3/2 out of the 2 gigs available. i really cant stand lag which is my im tempted by the n5. im not really a heavy user maybe moderate-heavy, but i do go out on a lot of days and i have a trip this summer, so i need something that wouldnt fail me midday

Thank you!!
"I can keep it on for 2 days straight oh wowee!". I don't get why people want it to last forever, simply charge it overnight. Yes, the nexus will probably last a full day depending on how you use it, but even if you can't, whack it on a charger for 30 mins and you're good to go till you can fully charge it before bed. The charging speed is amazing on this thing, so if you're at 5% before the day ends, top it up, and in 10 mins and you'll have 20% ready for the rest of the day.
Battery lasts all day = Good, usable battery.

Depends on the day but for heavy use its not as good as the G2, both devices have their own set of stuttering events. I dont even know why the N5 has a lot of home screen redraw when there is over 600mb of free RAM.
It can't compete with the G2's huge battery but compared to phones with similar sized batteries it is extremely efficient.

It is much more than the 3000mah battery...it also has G ram for the screen which decreases the screen power consumption by almost 30% according to lg even after features such as knock on and also the kernel of G2 must have been optimized to maximise its battery life
That is why it is leads ahead off phones which have same mah battery.
I just moved from a G2 to N5.
When I got my G2 it would last almost 2 days, after a few months it would barely last over 1. I Tried other ROMs modded stock ROMs and just couldn't get the battery back up to where it was. The other day it fell down a flight of stairs and I had to replace it anyway so I got the N5, which so far I like the battery on. I don't expect it to be as good as the G2 originally was, but so far its doing great for me.

Think I heard N5 has the same "G Ram" they just don't advertise it. It also has the same 20% more efficient LTE operation as the G2 and is more efficient than other 2300 and even 2600 mAh phones.

Or some tips and tricks, what if i flash again my 10d to unroot and start on 0?
You can't flash any updates from the other variants. Wait until the bootloader gets unlocked so you can flash a few roms/updates/etc. Until then, we have to wait for att to push out an ota.

I am noticing a fair amount of battery drain though. I'm guessing it's the ridiculously high resolution screen.

That is 100% correct. QHD/2k screen was not needed and is the BIGGEST battery hog for this phone. Its a shame, this phone could have been the perfect device, but as strange as it sounds, the screen is just too good and came to soon.
It is a shame. I was getting significantly better battery life on my Oneplus.
Out of curiosity, what are people doing to increase battery life beyond things like lowering brightness, turning off wifi, bluetooth, etc. . . .

Here's some discussion on the G3 battery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/lg-g3-zerolemon-t2887095
anyone know why there are no roms or kernels for this phone? wonder if it's because of a locked bootleader? that and the fact that the battery life sux balls i think i might return this. i love the camera and the feel of it but it's still rather laggy even after the newest update
thanks all
No roms and kernels because no custom recovery.
No custom recovery because locked bootloader.
Not sure why you're getting poor battery performance.
Battery life is brilliant for me, I can go a whole day of normal use (my normal use is probably heavy use to most people) and still have 40% when I go to bed .
What kind of apps are you using to get such lag and battery drain?
Yea, i see everyone complaining about the battery life but i have had no issues with battery life or drainage.
that was with just the basics installed. 100 percent when i start the day around 8:30 the used it to stream pandora for an hour on the way to work. then it sat in my pocked unused and the battery was at 15 percent by 1.
this is even with my battery saver proggie running that cuts of the wifi and cell antenna's when screen is off. no idea im assuming the battery is defective. but now that i know there's not gonna be roms and such i think i might just say fark it and get the m9. i see that there are already tons of roms for that. and i came from a og 3vo so i recognize all the developers.
it's just a bummer i love the curve and the camera on this thing. this is also my third gflex 2 since i got it 3 days ago. the first one just started bootlooping after fifteen mins, the second did the same and now the third seems to work good but the battery life is horrible.
tis a predicament rofl.
thanks for the info gang
j
If that's the case then you might be right about a defective battery.
Either that or the screen is coming on in your pocket, you'd probably notice your skin burning as the phone heats up though.
Have you checked Settings> Battery> Battery Usage, just to see what's using the most battery?
If you're not happy with the flex 2, the m9 is a great phone.
I got my hands on a prototype about 6 months before release, the only reason I didn't get one is that it just didn't feel right in my hand.
Battery life compare to my old Flex 1 is crap. I know its smaller and better screen resolution, but still my old G2 had better battery life than Flex 2 with same screen resolution and battery.
OP should go cr8 it

was real excited to get the s6 on Verizon. I ordered it last night but now I'm undecided and feel like I should cancel it because I keep reading on here that the battery drains like mad for no reason. I have the HTC one m7 right now and the battery sucks. What do you guys think? I don't have much time to cancel. I've also read some stuff about how calls drop bcuz something is different now. Like you can't use data and talk on the phone with the same time unless you're on lte.

Everybody will have a different experience with battery life. Mine is perfectly fine, but the ones with problems are always more vocal in forums because they're unhappy and try to find a solution while the others just quietly enjoy their new device. You'll always find more complaints in forums than positive posts.
Just give it a try if you can. I don't know how US carrier handle it, but usually there should be a way to return it if you're not happy during the first days or weeks.
I don't think everyone has a battery drain. Seems to be intermittent issues. The battery life isn't the best but it isn't terrible and the turbo charge is very good. The critics will always speak out more than the supporters. I am very happy with my S6 Edge from Verizon. The only real complaint I have is that whenever I use multitasking it always refreshes when I go back into an app, which I'd imagine will be fixed. I really think thats a lollipop issue anyway.

I went from a HTC One m7 to the S6 and I get around 4-5 hours of screen on time compared to around 3 hours on the m7. I should note that both phones is/was on pretty good cell coverage here in Denmark. So I wouldn't worry about the battery life. Also the Quick charge feature more or less stops me worrying about battery life. And as others have stated in the thread, there really isn't no battery drain no more. 4-5 hours of screen on time is just what you get with a 5" screen and this size battery. It's not magic
Anyways, everything else is an upgrade from the m7, I haven't discovered any showstoppers and I really, really like the fingerprint scanner.
I also came from the M7. I have zero regrets. I'm already used to the non-removable stroage/battery so that's no big deal. The quick charging IS AMAZING. You won't worry about battery as much as you think you will.
If I can add, when I first started using my S6 I was a little disappointed with the battery life. As time went by, I kept tweaking the phone which made the battery life better. Just reading on forums and looking at what other people have done. Now I've got the perfect balance and my battery life is amazing. Out of all the phone's I've ever had, it's the best so far and I get 2-3 days normal use out of one charge.
Thanks for the responses guys... I went ahead with the order. Now I just hope 32 gb is enough.. I don't use tons of apps and I like to keep my phone clean without tons of stuff. My Spotify music on my phone now doesn't even take up 1gb and can't I just start transferring my pics to my laptop so I don't have to have them all saved on my phone?
Do you think it's likely that a future update with further the battery life more? I read tons of reviews on Verizon s6 on the Verizon site and literally every person days the battery sucks.. It's weird. Hopefully I don't get a messed up screen like I've seen some have got. Should be here tomorrow..

you need to keep in mind a few people on the forums doesn't mean everyone in the world is effected. People who are perfectly happy don't go on the internet looking to b!tch about something. The majority of posts will come from negative experiences. I've bet you've seen countless "Why does my phone stutter" or "Why is my battery draining so fast" threads, but you'll never see the "my phone works perfect" or "my battery lasts as long as it should" threads.
My experience is positive with the battery.
In the beginning it was really no good then I rooted the phone and installed XtreStoLite Rom and now I can face two days without charging the phone.
Exceptional.
I hope you do know that upcoming 5.1.1 fixes all the battery issues even with 5.0.2 I'm fine with my battery life.

You positive about that? As long as the battery is better than my HTC One m7 I'll be happy. I plan on getting a probable battery pack too. Do you really think this is the fastest phone out right now?

Yeah, there have been talks on this forum about some operator's early 5.1.1 update on S6 Edge and people reported improved battery life. Also, RAM management issues should be fixed together with 5.1.1, also adding RAW support to the camera.
About it being the fastest phone, I'm not sure, but it's pretty fast. You see, I switched from an iPhone 4 so it's plenty fast for me. Should be one of the fastest out there due to new faster ram technology (LPDDR4 if I recall correctly, all the other phones have LPDDR3 at the moment).

That makes me feel better for sure. I wonder when Verizon gets this update? It's on paper the most powerful phone though right

Mine none stock. I can take it off charge at 6am and about 2ish I need to charge but the fast charger in less than a hour I'm at a 100%
Still disappointed Sammy did that but live goes on
We probably hear the issues most often not so much the good experiences. I absolutely love my 32GB phone on ATT.
My HTC One m7 gets laggy once I'm almost to 32gb full I noticed... Like once I hit around 20gb full it starts lagging. Will the 32gb s6 Do that too?
