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.
No one even has the phone yet.

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.

OT: I know this isn't the right place but...How is the back of the white N5? It get dirty fast? Could it turn yellow as someone said? :s
IT: It should take a week for the battery to stabilize, so the first real impression could come just in some days

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.

My battery usage isn't accurate at all, it doesn't even show screen or other apps I'm using. Maybe the OTA will fix this, we're on an old build version compared to the international users

Ya I will thanks. I did notice something today though. When I got the phone Tuesday I activated it on a second line to get the discount. The next day I went back and switched it over to my line. After I went back I started getting this pop up saying- something went wrong....I'll try to attatch pic. Doesn't say what it's for or anything. So I went into sync and unchecked a bunch of craps. Haven't seen it again. Been about an hour.

Same issue here, coming fro the Note 3 I figured I would be disappointed with Battery but not like this. 4 hours off the charger and minimal use and I'm at 60% , Android System using 46% and Google Play Services using 42%. I'm also on Verizon...
I seem to be doing a little better today on battery. I went into app manager and disabled every Verizon app I could. I also unchecked administor box in Google. Haven't had the pop up yet today bout signing into something. So I'm still hoping this phone will hold up. 6hr31m at 73%
Android system is normal.. As you can see I have no play services up. Battery life is meh after using a note 3.. But liveable.

That's interesting. I'm still showing Google services consuming a fair amount of my juice. I think I might factory reset this phone because I don't know what the salesman did when he set it up. That's why I don't usually go into a retail store for new phones, they get there grubby paws all over it.
Go in Google now and uncheck the "ok Google" shortcut. A lot of complaints for 4.4.2 on the Moto X showed improvement by doing this. i did it day one just to be careful since i never use that shortcut. phrase. Just something to try and see if you have improvement. 4.4.2 on the Moto X had a crazy battery drain bug and that helped it.

Depends on your usage.
Might work for some, not for others.
Install and try for yourself, do some objective testing before and after to see if it makes any difference for you
Handy to control apps you don't use regularly from running on the background. Actual effect on battery life. Well don't expect miracles.

Greenify is the only one from that endless battery safer tools This really has a positive effect. Clear recommendation, even if I do not understand why you needed for a new thread. Such things do you test yourself

Well, don't discuss the battery It's good enough for many but not for everyone. I'll plan to use a recharge pack if I need more battery power. Most of the times I have a bag or something else with me so that I can put a recharger pack into it for the case I run out of battery.
Sure, a better internal battery is better, but I can live with that.
Greenify is a great tool to have so that you can have a broad selection of apps on your device without worrying about it weighing down the OS in bloat. Lots of apps unnecessarily start in the background or ask to be notified on state changes or when the device is unlocked, which can lead to sluggishness and/or battery life degradation. For example my banking app does this, and I never need my banking app to run unless I explicitly press on that damn icon. But I don't want to get rid of my banking app due to it's bad behavior, because it's truly a useful app. That is where greenify shines.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have a few apps that definitely will hurt the battery if left running...so greenify let's me still have those apps and not worry about them impacting my battery. To me greenify is on my must have list. ?
And to backup another's post, yes...the N5 CAN have battery life that rivals other great battery life phones. I get over 24 hours with 6 plus hours screen time easily. But...its all about how you set up your phone...and how you use it. "Average" battery times are hard to compare, since we all are setup different and do different things with our phones.
But yes, battery life CAN be brilliant.... Or it can be average.
