search "air strike" in this forum, lol :silly:
I agree with both of you that it's damn irritating when an idiot keeps asking the question that's been asked a hundred times before...
The problem here is that if you browse the forum on the phone itself via either the xda or the xda hd app, their search functions are crippled, and you can't search in a forum. So the search gives you a million useless results from other forums.
Thus the only solution, it seems to me, is to just keep leafing through the forum threads manually and it doesn't seem to be easy to identify a result...

No hard feeling, we all have time when it's unbelievably hard to find something (like a remote control of the TV lol) :highfive:
I do believe that it is better to give out information than to educate. No offense to #2 post though.
I found one here:

But didn't try yet. Just for your reference.
Thanks. As a matter of fact I searched on ebay and bought one 8500 mAh one from Singapore, waiting for it to arrive...

Just got it this week. Have to say awesome, lasts forever, the design of the back cover is elegant and the phone is much more pleasant to hold in your hand.

8500 mah battery - Is that even necessary? Do you really go that long without your charger?

Yes, it's really necessary. I use tte phone all day long, it's on permanently, screen on, without the charger.
That's why this battery is a godsend.

Can you post a photo ?
As ridiculous as it may seem, I kind of want one!
Maybe tomorrow. I was very surprised though how elegant the phone looks with this battery. It's the new back cover, has very smooth curves, I like it a lot...
I'm a heavy user, I love my 4600mah battery for my gs3, looks like I get the gn2 tomorrow; so i'm looking at this battery and drooling. I know exactly what you mean about fitting in your hand. I spend my time doing anything from navigation while making phone calls or streaming music, extensive skype usage, constantly in my browser.. fpse is my favorite pastime (and, in fact, why i want this phone, the extra screen will be perfect for gaming those dusty ps1 games in the closet). I've been known to blast my hulu or netflix anytime anywhere, and i like my screen on bright, with all my services running like gps constantly. I get 10-12hrs of screen time depending on my usage..
any way we could get some benchmarks? how much screen on time are we talking? are you gaming, or just reading a book, or streaming video?
No, I don't feel like benchmarking anything.
Basically I can confirm though that this battery is supposedly almost 3x the capacity of the stock one, and based on my experience so far this is indeed so. Thus, I think it's a high quality battery, and whatever you're doing with the phone, you'll be able to do almost three times as long.

I personally think extended batteries are not required for the Note 2, so far this is the best Android phone I have ever used and the battery lasts a day under heavy usage...

"This is not the killer handset that I think a lot of people were expecting it to be — it’s a good phone on a great network that will keep you satisfied… for now."
"Score: 7.5/10"
"Cons:
Battery life is lacking
Software bugs can cause problems
Pricey"
"In the time I used the device I found the Bionic’s stamina to be less than spectacular in comparison to most 3G phones, but nearly-passable when held up next to its 4G competitors."
Ouch
Thought about upgrading but for $300 + tax + 2 year contract the phone should have better than "nearly-passable" battery life. Guess I'll have to wait for Anandtechs review of the battery life as well. Can anyone here speak of the battery life they are getting and if it fits this review?
Pretty bad review. Everyone I've spoken to that's had it for a few days says the battery is f*cking amazing. This and the gizmodo review seem biased as hell.
Mark Smith from the Detroit Free Press says he's been using it for about a week and is very happy with the battery life. I've heard a few other positive comments as well, depending on how long the reviewer had or used the phone. Those who only used it for a day typically were less than impressed. Those who had time to break it in said it got better.
But it's still a good idea to wait a few days for more reviews.

Yeah its expected for some reviews to be a bit negative especially given the long wait and hype over the Bionic. With that said if I'm able to get 12-14 hours of battery under moderate use then I'll be happy.

This is most definitely the case for me, and I've had a Bionic for nearly a month. Battery life with everything syncing is more than acceptable in my mind, especially for an LTE device.
I have heard a lot of good things about the battery life on the Bionic - except for this review. I happened to notice that he is only showing 1 bar in all the pictures he posted. It might just simply be he was in a really bad area for Verizon. I know that a really bad signal would always kill my battery fast in every smartphone i've ever had.

That, iphone and samsung fanboys writing articles as well!
Guys... Battery life will vary for EVERYONE. The thunderbolt battery drains twice as fast when your 4G signal is less than 3 bars. This guy in the review had very few bars, thus, draining the battery. The best thing you can do for a phone like this is have 3G on until you NEED 4G. I mean really people, when do you actually NEED 4G? When tethering...
Juice defender is the best app on the market. Phone locked??? Data turned off and set to check your data whenever you set the time to. This helps every phone.
I can't wait to give you guys my review tomorrow.... but I was able to order mine from vzw for $75!!
Wtf? I didnt see much negativity in the review. What are you guys talking about?
I have been using mine for the past four days and hands down the best battery life on any android device I've owned to date. (This is my 9th android device.)

It was a hands-on, not a review. You know, a quick impression of the phone for the rabid customers that can't wait for a full review. Like us
Jason
I also have heard nothing but praise regarding battery life, especially in comparison to the existing LTE selection on VZW. I also saw the "review" on gizmodo, which was nearly opposite of what engadget had to say. They both posted around the same time, and the gizmodo writer seemed *incredibly* biased. Even when he was talking about basic specs he seemed to do so with a negative connotation.
... with only 2 negative reviews out of 10 or so positives I've seen, I'm definitely still going to get it this morning!
If you guys actually watched his video, he said that he got 11 hours switching between LTE and WiFi. That's *fantastic* battery life for an LTE device. I don't think battery life is going to be an issue, especially if you don't have 4G in your area and you just turn it off, but then you might as well get a DX2 which is basically the same phone without LTE (among other differences like it's got a Tegra, etc)

I don't mind as I'd like to know as well!
I'm no the fence as $115+shipping as a student is expensive to me....so I'd like to hear what thoughts other people have
I've been watch free for over four years and love it!
I have sponsored the Pebble, and have a Sony Smartwatch ordered to be here next week.
Both devices are intriguing, and the Pebble is due to get increased developer and app support, due to its more open nature. But since it is only Bluetooth 2.1 (so far), it would fail to support the low power modes that Bluetooth 3.0 offers, and both the Smartwatch and Gnex support.
I'm still understanding why I would need this. I'm a watch fanatic and adore luxury watches but the rubber strap kills it. I know you can change it, but that wouldn't be original.
The apps seem mostly for athletic people and that is something I'm not. I don't know. I need to be convinced. I think it's way over hyped

Should definitely not be battery heavy if it's E-Ink display. That stuff lasts forever with minimal battery drain.
Still, the night backlight would be a big issue.
I'm a backer. Bought a few. Awesome idea! No more audible caller I'd, I can just look at my watch.

Neat idea. I like the look of it, but I am not a fan of watches anymore now that I have been off a watch for 4 years or so but I can see how this can come in handy.
As for your concern on the bluetooth, perhaps you should try keeping yours on the next time you charge it up fully so you can get an idea for how long of a battery life you handle. I am sure it will use more battery though if it was sync'd to something but I would think it still use extra battery juice with it on. And could give you a better idea at what you would be looking at time wise.

On the kickstarter page, it says that the watch's battery lasts about 7 days. That's not very long for a watch...
I wonder if they could possibly integrate some solar (photovoltaic) cells to charge the battery while the watch is being worn? That may increase the battery life, even if it's just a bit.

Pretty long for a smart watch though, which tend to only last around a day.
Honestly guys is this really worth it for the price?! Sony has had something similar and better for years and I just can't wrap my head around something like this. I'm in an apparent mind **** at the moment..I mean it's not good looking or premium. All it has is a customizable screen and that's it. Really?! 150 for this?! What am I missing here?! If you're athletic it might help a bit but for what else??

Yeah I read that as... "iPhone won't let us access this data."
Ill get a white/red one. I cant wait to try it. I didnt use a watches since I have a cellphone, but this gonna be my next one
This is a cool concept, but watches (for me) these days are more of a fashion accessory than a functional necessity. 99% of the time my phone is in my hand or on my person, so I don't really need a watch to tell me who's calling or how far I've been running.
Are you?
EDIT: If you're unhappy, speak up here.
Minus the little EMI interference on the earpiece, absolutely. Super fast, great battery life, beautiful design.
Exactly what he said - I only get the interference in calls and not every call. Other than that, awesome phone.
I am really happy with it as well. I came from a epic 4g to this so it is an amazing difference. Better battery life and super fast.
I think it is all relative. I am sure people jumping from much better phones like GS3 will not be as impressed with this device as I have.

OP, you may want to keep this poll open a bit longer considering some of the limbo/backordered people are only now getting their phones shipped to them.
With a piss poor camera and a lackluster display with it's specs I am happy for the price I paid but if this was $500-600 off contract I would stay away myself... I have a Note 2 and an S3 and my Note 2 crushes this phone IMO and the S3 is close but then again it does not offer you that pure "GOOGLE" experience either and the S3 has soo many tweaks out and better optics and display (IMO) it's just what you want out of your device but I am thrilled to own it! It will definitely be my flashaholic phone!
EDIT: Okay guys I have had it for awhile now and I DO think the screen is VERY nice so I take away my comment from above but I am kinda disappointed in the camera's but who cares really! I am charging it wirelessly as I type... Time to start flashin!
;( I wish they would let me change my vote.... lol This just goes to show that you can NEVER judge a phone or anything for that matter, before it has been FULLY tested and I admit I spoke too soon! I LOVE the N4 on my T-mobile $30 Monthly 4G plan! You just cannot compare this phone to any other!
Oops, accidentally gave the guy above me a thanks. But I'm completely happy with this device. There is absolutely nothing I would change about it.

Opinion is just that and since he didn't ask what phone you thought was better, maybe you should have kept it to yourself? Its troll bait and as you state twice. Just your opinion.
Of course, If I spent as much as you on those two other phones (which, IMO are not even close to this phone) I would try to justify it just as badly as you have, ..
Maybe u should add something to the poll like:

pretty happy with my n4 however my bottom left corner squeaks when squeezing it lol.... anyone else with this problem?
I read so many posts of people being upset about this or that so I was skeptical, but now that I have had it in my hands for 2 days........I love it its the best phone I ever had. I am on T-Mobile and came from a One S and a S3 and don't miss either device. The hardware feels premium, much better than the S3 and right up there with the One S which despite its shortcomings had great build quality which I missed when I moved to an S3. I will be sticking with my Nexus 4 for a while.

Better than my GNex for sure , only bummer is that Android still produces low volume through the headphone jack
I came from an S3 and I have to say, I'm enjoying the Nexus 4 a lot more. As soon as I'm able to get my backups installed (Ubuntu and Android don't seem to be playing well unfortunately) I'll be able to enjoy it a lot more.
I'm coming from an Infuse 4G, so it's a big step and I'm definitely happy. The only real issue I have so far is that the phone slides if it's on a smooth surface that isn't completely flat. Like my laptop in its dock is a hair higher in the back than the front, and the phone doesn't stay put, it slides toward me. Same on tables, mouse pads, etc. Needs a little bit more friction.

Hey guys I recently got my extended 2600mah battery, cool thing is abouy this battery is its the samr size as the stock battery!!!
Now threre are lots of rumors in forums and places that these batterys are only the 1500mah ones but kinda like hacked to be 2600mah, apparently theirs alot of modding done to the voltage therefore making yhe device hoter?
Yes! My XPlay is noticeably hoter than it was but its not to hot to handle (c wha I did dere? :3)
When overclocking and playing games the device is even more hoter but it wont cook an egg!
Performance, I can get a much lasting experience within this battery! I get about 6-8 hours more everyday usage,
So the verdict, if ur a hardcore android gamer = get one
If ur a hardcore emulator addict dont get one as ur typically goin to be overclocking and past 1.6 GHz the device becomes like super nova hot, O.0
If u juat want a longer battery = watchu watin 4? U should be on ebay lookin for one,
Btw I got this for 6.99 Euros!
Enjoy!

Where did you get this battery for 6.99?? I want one in 2 minds whether to get this or the oversized 3600 battery any thoughts i think the bigger battery is more than a cm extra to the case which seems abit much to me so leaning towards the gold 2600 battery of stock size, i have heard some of these have incorrect voltages tho
You should post a link to the same battery you bought to make sure future buyers will have the same experience as you claim, after all, ebay is ridden with knock off batteries which can gravely harm the phone and the user.

not to be a stickler but I had this same battery about 2 years ago and I had serious issues with my PLAY. The heating was one, the other issues was I had serious game and all around phone lag and performance issues. When I checked the batteries output via a meter the output was not a consistent smooth flow. It boumced around, some really low some really high. Perhaps things are better with this battery but I then found the 2600mha battery that I later made a thread for onb this forum/section.
I understand people want a battery that has more mha and same as stock size but you have to think about inconsistency. Not saying this couldnt be a good battery, and again it has been about 2 years since i purchased this battery and had my issues with it, so its possible its a good now other then the heat.
So if anyone buys it just be careful.

Hope you didnt mind my blurp earlier, I wasnt trying to squash or tell anyone to avoid buying it, just wanted to give my thoughts on it from 2 years ago, but to also give people a "both side of the story" approach to it. Like I said it could be all good now and work fine other then heat. Anyways thanks for letting me share my experience with it and being so cool about me blabbering on. lol.
The problem is that they have squeezed 65% more capacity into the same size casing, which seems scary to me. Why didnt Sony have this in the first place if that was ok to do? My battery may be massive but it feels safer to me

Sorry, that was a rough quote.
73.33% (ish) for the 2600mah one
So, just to be clear, if I bought this battery it won't explode my phone? ^.^

Hi @Pizza_Dox how is this battery now after having reviewing it 5 weeks ago, has it still kept its charge? Is there anyway to get the real mah using this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw.pro&hl=en
I was very excited about the N5 for months. I'm still using a GNex, so I was looking forward to the upgrade. I was actually on the Play Store today within minutes of the phone going on sale, ready to buy the 32bg model. But before I dropped $400, I wanted to check one thing - is the battery user replaceable. It's not, and I didn't buy the phone.
Now before you say just get an external battery, let me explain. I travel very frequently, flying at least 6x per year or more. Thus, my needs are a little different than most. I currently have a 4000mah battery for the GNex that can get me through a 12 hour day of heavy internet, game, and screen usage. I also carry a spare just in case (although I've only needed it once - it was there). The external battery just doesn't provide the portability I need.
So now I'm left with one of these choices:
1. Get a TMo or Google S4 (so I can use CM) - around $450 used
2. Get a G2 Korean Edition (sdcard and removable battery) - $800 new
3. Wait for the S5
Right now, I'm heavily leaning towards option 3. It will do many things better than the N5 for maybe $250 more. I still love the GNex, and I have no overwhelming need to upgrade now. Still though, I had high hopes for the N5. Why did Google have to go with LG instead of Samsung...

Why were you on the Play Store? It was obvious Nexus will not have the removable battery and probably never will. Look elsewhere.
All I can say is, Google (or anyone, while we're at it) can never please everyone in this world.
Maybe the device is not for you. It's $349, it's cheap and it gets the jobs done for most of those who loves the Nexus series.
Wait until some DIY videos coming on YouTube to teach you how to replace battery for N5

Maybe you need a tablet with a large battery instead of a phone for extended gaming lol.
3,000mAh on 16 GB was just a rumour squashed after FCC filings were released and Nexus 4 didn't have a removable battery.. so likelihoods of this having one were slim :|

Actually, from the pics, it looked like the back was removable. It doesn't resemble the N4 at all.

I doubt I'll be able to swap in an airport terminal.

I 100% agree. The N5 is a steal at $350/$400. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet my needs.
Maybe a power pack? I don't have it but I heard some people are using power pack on N4

Kind of kills the portability, at least for me. I just want the ability to put an extended battery in the phone and not worry about carrying two things at once.
SO get a G2 with a 3000+ battery. Kitkat will be out sooon for it. Actually Im very happy with the G2!!

May be a case with attached battery.. Or else wait. Now many companies doesn't provide replaceable battery except for Samsung.

Don't be in a hurry..wait for some battery/screen time reports here. If you can go a whole day with power to spare, who cares if the battery is fixed? The combination in this unit may surprise you. If you're already convinced you need a replaceable cell, obviously not the phone for you. And that's fine, too.

For an extra $150, I could get the Korean version - removable battery and microSD support. But $800 is ALOT to drop on a phone. Regular G2 without removable battery is no better than an N5 to me, except it costs about $200 more.
I have the same issue, just like you I own a GNex still, how I fixed my problem is owning an additional spare battery and keep it in my wallet.
Unfortunately Google has gone in the direction of non-removable batteries since the N4 and the same with this new device, I had to look else where for extra power. since I can kill both of my batteries 2 x 1750 mAh within 6 hours if I was really bored lol.
As of now, I picked up a 11,600 mAh power bank. yes it's bulky and and an additional thing to carry but it came with a 2 Amp supply usb plug. and I charge quickly with that socket. it cuts my charge time down near 40%. so when I'm low I throw it on that and within 20 minutes I get 30% easily. just put down your phone for a coffee break, it won't kill you

Trust me, delays at the airport will kill a 2300mah battery. And some don't have any outlets available to recharge.
I have a morphie battery pack on my gs3. The phone fits in it like a case. Maybe that would suit your needs.

this thread is full of win win win
In this day and age, the need for a removable battery is becoming a bit unnecessary IMO. For $50 or less you can easily find a separate rechargeable battery to carry with you that can provide anywhere from 6000mAh to 10000mAh battery and not just one device-specific battery would; it would use a traditional USB port so you can use it for other devices as well, and allow for the ability to power/recharge something like the Nexus 5 for days on end or multiple recharges over several days time to extend your usage.
I'd love to have a Nexus 5, really, but I won't bother and the primary reason is (again) no expandable storage. I appreciate that everyone at Google believes in "the cloud" and I really hate that phrase, it's client-server and has been for 50+ years now, just calling it "the cloud" means nothing to me in the long run.
But I prefer local storage, even though I have 18,000+ songs sitting on my Google Play account I still have a few thousand of them on the microSD card in my LG Optimus G for local playback, and I'm not really interested in having everything in "the cloud" anyway.
Not having a removable battery in the Nexus 5 isn't even a consideration for me anymore, hasn't been for a long time because I have a nice little 4-AA battery charger I use with 4 high capacity (2600mAh) AA rechargeables - the other benefit is that even if those were to die on me at some point I can always get AA batteries most anywhere.
Just my $.02 I suppose...

Because Samsung is moving away from making devices for anyone but themselves, and according to recent reports, they're actually working towards a custom version of Android for their own specific devices - they may even end up creating an entirely new OS for their own devices and just move away from Android completely, aka Tizen which is still being developed.

Then you need to carry a power bank. I mean, if you're going to carry another cell around anyway to swap, why not carry one that truly buys you days of power, only double or triple a regular cell's thickness, and not need to take off a cover?
