After freezing all att apps, and switching to nova launcher with 3 screens, no widgets, and killing all apps after im done playing games or whatnot, i have been averaging about 3.5h of screen on time, and being able to go 14+ hours on one charge with pretty good use with about 20 percent still remaining.
Does that seem par for the course?
Yup seems about right with the stock battery. I'm really considering doing the battery mod lately.

yeah, coming from a htc one x, the battery life without a different kernel, and oc/uv and major tweaks makes me feel like i have to tiptoe around or else battery life just takes a dump. Everything else on the phone is amazing, that battery mod looks really tempting :/

hey bro . you come from htc one x .
which one have beter battery life ?
atrix hd or one x
thx
One x far and away. i could almost go 2 complete days on it, and there are loads of tweaks, to go with the already tweaked roms to help it along even further. i have a ss somewhere of getting 4.5h screen on and i wasnt even using smart actions or juice defender. if your not adverse to roming and tweaking, get the one x.

I am a huge Nexus phone fan, having owned all four Nexus phones the last few years. But also have owned different phones in-between
But lately to me, long battery life has become my #1 most wanted feature. I hammer on my phone all day during the work week, and none of the Nexus phones last me a full day with my kind of use, and I do install custom ROM's with battery friendly kernels, etc.. still doesn't help.
My Nexus 4 I get around 4h On Screen Time, but only total usage of around 10h - 11h out of the battery before the phone is dead. So that sucks for me, unplug at 6:30am, and by 4:30pm it's pretty much done. My Galaxy Nexus was far worse than that, the G Nex blew on battery.
I use my phone, as an actual phone, go figure I can't understand people that rarely do phone calls, how can't you be on the phone anymore ? For running my business and dealing with clients, approx 2 hours of phone calls per day. GPS Navigation used every day, for at least one hour. Text like crazy all day. Read and send e-mails all day. Surf the web.
Only phone that could handle my type of use was the Note 2. That thing could be hammered hard on a workday and still be going until bedtime with juice still left. No other phone I owned could do that. But the Note was too large for my tastes, hard to one hand use.
Saying all of that, I need the Nexus 5 with the rumored option for 3,000mAh + 32GB storage. But now it sounds like that rumor has been squashed. So I might get the G2 instead, and run a ported Nexus 5 ROM down the road.
battery
I have a note1, running official 4.12 with a different kernel. Battery isn't bad, but I usually never let it get below 50% without at least tapping it a little bit during the day.
Perhaps part of the reason (if it holds true, these aren't official specs) of the smaller battery is maybe 4.4 is a little less power
hungry, or the SOC inside the device, the memory etc, consume less power?
Of course! I'm all set with multiple cheap battery banks strategically placed at work, in the car, and in my briefcase for those times I need the battery boost.
As cheap as $5.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-2600mah..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item485af1789d
Nope i will defenitly buy one *-*

I agree with you 200%.
I currently have a GS3 with a 3,000mAh Samsung extended battery and I can do the all day. I was not able to do with 2100 stock.
If 2300 will be confirmed and if they'll not be able two do some crazy optimisation, I'll get a G2 or Z1. My concern is that AOSP on these two devices is zero at the moment.
As 64gb is out of discussion as well as sd card espansion, USB OTG will be very important as 32GB are not enough for me!

Agree on the way a phone should be used and my usage pattern is similar to yours. I can hardly get through a day on a single charge and I would be out of juice by 6-7pm. However, battery life is no concern to me (and many others) at all. I mean, how far are you from an outlet at all times? I have a charger in the office, in my car, in my briefcase and on several strategic locations at home. We switch phones pretty much on an annual basis. The battery won't die in one year regardless of your abuse. So charge your phone whenever you can and ask for smaller batteries for a smaller lighter phones. Also from what I have seen for G2 battery life, at 2300mah the N5 might have enough juice for you and I to go through a day on a single charge.

Yep.
I am more sad, because the N5 is based off the G2, which has a 3,000mAh battery stock. Of all things to cut back on, and not keep the same between the two phones, don't let it be the battery.
What is Googles reasoning behind changing the battery from the G2 in the Nexus 5 ?
Oh well, looks like G2 here I come. And development will pick up big on that phone. Its only been out a few weeks, and the international G2 just came out last week.
Let's see a Nexus 5 ROM posted on the G2, since they are so similar.

Is the G2 bootloader locked?
Any way the best AOSP rom is always 4-6 month behind Nexus updates!

N5 is over and inch narrower and and nearly 3 inches shorter. Maybe it has to do with lack of real estate. Besides if we deduct from G2 we should expect 7.5-8h sot.:fingers-crossed:

CM and AOKP ROM's are pretty quick to release new builds, based off the latest Android release. Its not a 4 month wait, maybe 4 weeks worse case.
The G2 is unlocked on T-Mobile, and International version. The ATT version has an exploit out, and said to be easy to root and the work around hasn't stopped custom ROM development.

I just hope that if the battery is this size, that it will at least be able to take a 2.1 amp charge.
It won't affect my decision at all. The battery life on my N4 lasts the entire day on a full charge with moderate on-screen usage, plus I'd rather them sacrifice battery life and megapixels in order to have a quad core beast with a 1080p HD display for the low price of $299.
I'll be buying the Nexus 5 day one, can't wait!
I would buy it even if the battery was the same as the N4. All these battery nerds are getting way too worried about a phone they haven't even used yet. I guarantee that we will not care if you cry about the 2300 battery, have fun in the N4 forum, we will be here, the future.

The future is technically A57/53, 64bit, U-HD, etc...But sure, let's call N5 the "future". If I wanted future I probably would bet on the faster A7x chip. Sadly androids can't use it too...

No. 2300mah will not stop me.
According to anandtech the lg g2 gets 7.9 hrs of battery life on lte web browsing. If you just reduce this proportionally the nexus 5 could get 6 hrs web browsing on LTE which is like double what my gnex gets.
Some people clearly spend every waking minute doing everything they can think of on their phone. The Nexus 5 probably won't work for those people but I expect it to be competitive with the last batch of mainstream flagships, aka the HTC one and galaxy s4. I think Google wanted a thin phone and just like the nexus 7 2013 they reduced the battery size to achieve this goal but only up to the point where battery life would be acceptable for like 90% of users.
I'm getting it no matter what battery it has...even solar!
I'm definitely getting one, my current phone has a 1500 mah battery... so 2300 is a major upgrade for me
Yes
:good: YESSIR! Been waiting on this since first hearing about it, never owned a Nexus device and currently own a Samsung Galaxy Young S6310L, hate Touchwiz & looking for the best stock experience and to start with Android 4.4? Great deal and this phone has a 1300mAh battery so a 2300/3000mAh upgrade should be great, going for the 32gb version which is rumored to have a 3000mAh battery so yes
Looking forward to see what developers has in store for it and maybe I can become one someday
Just wondering if anyone here has gone from an HTC M7 to the S6 and how the battery life has been in comparison. Thanks in advance!
Went from the m8 (newer model) to the s6 and the battery on the s6 is crap in comparison... However the charger is really really nice.
I make it about half a day on the s6 with pretty heavy use, one 30 minute charge will make it through the second half of the day.

I went from the m7 to the GS6, and I feel like it is a night and day improvement. The m7 was plagued with terribly slow charging times, and I would need to charge that phone at least twice a day. Although I still charge my GS6 twice or even three times a day (heavy user), the adaptive fast charging (or QuickCharge 2.0) makes me feel like charging is less of a chore. Speakers are still better on the m7, and my GS6 unit has a somewhat imperfect screen, but I would still take my GS6 over my m7 any day. Also, the camera is vastly superior on the GS6, if that's your thing.
Take a look at the six active. Big fat battery.

The battery is tempting but do you think the S6 active will ever see Android 6.0 from Samsung?
Went from M7 to the S6 Active myself, a much greater phone if you ask me and the 3500mah battery on the active beats the crap the old M7's battery life by a long shot. The only thing I miss about the M7 is the dual boom sound speakers up front and the old blink-feed home page with all the news and stuff. After a little searching though I found I can install the HTC Sense Home launcher on my S6 and now I have the best of both worlds...............................

Probably... End of the year IM sure .. I have no problems with Lollipop.... Marshmallow Im sure will be overhyped and see small improvements. I have been with Android since Froyo, I remember they thought ICS was awesome..lol

I had the MotoX when it first came out and loved it. That itch for the next new thing drove me to drop it and go bigger/newer. Here I am today, where prices for a MotoX are sub $100 and I would love to go back in time and see how much I still love this phone.
Question is, how is it doing on Lollipop? I think I moved on from it when it was still 4.X or so and it seemed to get me through the day battery wise and rarely ever stuttered too badly getting through most tasks. I presume all the great Moto stuff like twist camera and active displays have remained largely unchanged through the OS updates?
Guess I'm just trying to get a quick synopsis on the MX after 18 months of being gone. Appreciate anything anyone has to offer.
I really like Lollipop and was happy to get a pre-release test version (very late beta?) before the official release. But, I'm almost certain battery life is not as good under Lollipop as under Kitkat. It's a little hard to say, because my Moto X was getting pretty old when I first installed Lollipop, so perhaps the battery was already weaker (man, I hate unremovable batteries).
While I've not gone back to Kitkat yet, I have installed a Lollipop-based custom ROM that is supposed to include kernel tweaks that will improve battery life. Also, it's a bit more stripped-down than stock Lollipop, so I'm going longer between recharges.
But, as far as Lollipop itself goes, it looks and performs great, I think. I prefer it to iOS, which I played around with for a couple of weeks recently.
IMHO, quite well. I have the Dev Ed, and I always root and Xposed my devices. I got it full flashed to stock 5.1 (bought it with Krypton loaded, hah!) and then rooted and xposed. Had to redo the flash a day later as it's only half working, had to do the modem firmware flash too. Now it's working fine. With Xposed fixes left and right I got the system tweaked just right, and with Doze app running the phone can last most of the day if it can sit idle most of the time.
I just brought my moto x back to life Saturday I had stopped using it only because I broke the digtizer and started using my nexus 6 as my daily driver don't get me wrong I love my nexus 6 a lot but my moto x is the perfect size it still looks great and is as fast as ever when compared to my nexus 6 side by side I can't tell the speed difference in real time usage I actually swapped my sim card back to my moto x and shelved my nexus 6 until I feel like using it again I rooted my moto x and love it it's a great phone and in my opinion it aged well to bad Motorola already dropped support on it
