[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indiwiz:
All of this drama about battery life and none of us have even touched the phone lol.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

BTW isn't Kit Kat supposed to be lighter (to support older hardware or whatever) ? So who knows what battery life will be. I would say "let's stop talking about the battery until we see results," but I see how great that worked out the last 10 times lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
This is exactly on point! If anyone says to go get another phone and flash Roms to be on the latest update has never owned a non Nexus device and flashed AOSP Roms or does not care about bugs and a non stable device.

Kit-Kat will probably take months to hit other devices in a usable state and it still will be buggy no matter how many poeple post in the threads the Rom is perfect, because it is not!

Now for battery which seems to be a hot topic here. I have to agree with the users who want more battery life. I would rather see the N5 offer more juice and be slightly thicker then a smaller battery in a thinner device. I want a phone that can really shine in on-screen time. People who post pictures of their phone with 2 days of battery don't use their phone, period.

I will say the N4 has not been a true failure in battery but I am always looking for a bump up with each new device. When I am finally able to run a live wallpaper all day in addition to my regular daily use and have a nice amount of battery life left before plugging in, then I know we are where we need to be.

Right now, I still would not run a live wallpaper. People also need to realize if you are able to sit on wi-fi all day your battery will perform better. Unfortunetly a lot of people still need to rely on a data connection and it just eats into your batter all day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
We pretty much know what to expect. The SD800 does better standby than the S4 Pro, the battery is slightly larger, the screen may be more efficient, but that's about it, nothing game changing. The G2/N3 delivers with their 3000mAh+ battery and 2300 just won't last through the day using pure Google experience. Why complain about a $350 product? Fair enough, but if the top-end SoC and screen made it through the competitive price, it's really puzzling why a larger battery that's neither expensive nor that large didn't. Most would agree that we'd rather have SD600, a 4.8" screen and 3000mAh no matter of 4.4 efficiency, either way, it's our opinion and don't tell us not to express it on a free forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indiwiz:
Not telling you what to do, just saying we shouldn't judge a product based off what we think and not know. 4.4 is supposed to be one of the lightest versions of android in a while, I'm pretty sure it won't suck battery like previous versions. But who knows? And who cares? And the end of the day I'm going to get it.

Its a sad week for me my phone was totaled :( I couldn't sleep for a day.I really needed a phone I picked up the note 3 boy I hate it hopefully nexus 4 2013 comes out soon. No new information about release date?sorry been out for 3 days
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nothing yet but I can sum up some XDA rumors for you....

Battery life will suck. The camera will only be 8MP and because of that it will also suck. 4.4 will be the lightest version of Android to date. There will be 32GB version. Battery life will suck. The camera will suck.......The camera will suck, battery life will suck.

The N5 or N4 (2013) will only be marginally better then the N4 (2012). It will be the same size, it will be smaller, it will have a 5" screen, nope it will have a 4.95" screen or somewhere in between....

It will be lighter then the current N4, it will weight the same......

One guy is buying all the stock and reselling at higher prices. Now he changed his mind after XDA backlash...oh, looking to buy and sell again.

The N5 will sell out, no it won't.....

It will be $600, nope it will be $350. Will have 4megs of ram, it will have 3 megs of ram, it will have 2 megs of ram. Will have OIS, won't have OIS.

Okay, that about sums up the last 3 days....:laugh:

That's just one of the articles. Maybe I didn't quote it right by saying one of the lightest versions but it's obviously going to be lighter than a lot of versions of android in order to be ran on older hardware.

Yea that's all well and good but what about the battery life?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
Oh sorry, forgot about battery life.

Well rumor has it that it will be good, suck, good, suck, better, worse, suck, good, great, who even needs a battery in their phone just keep it plugged in, great, sucks, ok, not bad, terrible, non-replaceable, replaceable, gets hot, stays cool, wonderful, plug it in, don't need a plug, solar powered.......
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
You know its really too bad that with a fixed battery there will be no opportunity to swap with a larger 3rd party battery. To make matters worse, if you're hard on the battery, which many clearly will be, then depending on how long you own it you will probably wear the battery or kill it and then not be able to easily replace it:(

If you're hard on the battery this may be a one year phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
That is a great point that people overlook about non-replaceable batteries. They get worse over time and stop holding a charge.

So longevity is kind of loss with a device that has a built in battery when you might only need a new battery, you now need to purchase a new device.

When Apple released their phone with non-removeable batteries and no extended storage Android users cringed and could not believe any company would do such a thing. We were all happy to not deal with this on Android devices.

Now Android manufatcures are following suite of some of the worst things Apple has brought to the table and becasue of it the users are no suffering!

Apple does soemthing right in the sense they at least copy the good things from Android each year while Android manufacturers copy the bad from Apple.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
So reasonably let me tell you what I would like to see at this point.

I want Google to announce this phone by the end of the day.

I want to be able to pre order my pre order by the end of the day.

I want Google to send me an early version of this phone to try out in preparation for the final version. (2 day shipping have it by wed)

I want Google to call me every morning at 10am to give me pro-tips and ask what last minute changes I would like to see made.

I want a Google representative to come to my door on or around Oct 30th to hand me the final version and port over all my settings from my test build.

I want a large Kit-Kat bar erected in front of my home.

These are not official specs... and it's pretty much based on rumors.

If you start digging into the Service Manual, you will find mistakes like claiming its Bluetooth 3.0 (Nexus 4) on some parts of the file where on top it says 4.0

And more things just to go on...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momsi:
Haha... Hilarious :D

I'm not much of a talker here, but I've been reading the whole thread since post 1. But that summarization was awesome :)

And for the non replaceable battery thing.... Well... Maybe they want it to be a one year phone.... Planed obsolescence is the keyword here...

But I guess most of us are breaking warranty with roms anyway, an it won't be too difficult to change batteries by opening the phone.... So what.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayr04:
So, if a phone doesn't have a removable battery, and the battery goes bad, why can't someone just order a replacement and have a repair shop swap out the battery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why would this be moved to a section of a device that is yet to even be named? Shouldn't the Nexus 5 or whatever the device will be called be saved for the actual real device and not rumors or just conversations that pretty much have nothing to do with what this actual device will be or be called.

Was also meant to be a conversation among current Nexus owners...

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

You can do that but now you then need to bring it somewhere, have the battery ordered and then you will also be charged for labor. All this and then what if in the end you realize the battery was fine and it was something else.

Now you are stuck with an extra battery that cannot be easly swapped. There is definitley not one positive thing that can be said for having a non-removable battery. Can you think of any?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Kind of agree, but I can see where the mods were coming from. These threads were probably skating on thin ice from the get-go, and the mods finally decided to make the inevitable section and move the threads there. They will probably just rename this section if the phone is named something else.

Now, I'm not saying this outweighs the negatives, far from it. A very slight positive with non-removable battery is structural soundness. With removable backs, the phone seems less 'together', especially if it's just a slide-off plastic back like most removable-battery phones have. Again, doesn't come close to trumping the negatives, but something I consider a 'positive'.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
Just to add, if it gets weak its likely to happen when the phone has dropped in value and may very well not be worth the cost of having a professional replace it.

I've had my galaxy nexus for 2 yrs and I've never been without it in that time. It's not like sending in your wristwatch for repair. It would be very disruptive to be without it even for a short time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cronis:
I dont think it would be beyond one of us to do a battery replacement based on the description given in the manual. Doesnt look any worse then repasting a CPU or replacing a notebook drive. MIght be a fun project on a 2 year old phone to extend its life.

battery concern for Nexus 5

Well as per the battery rumors for Nexus 5...I got something to discuss...

If the service manual details are correct, the Nexus 5 will offer up to 690 minutes talk time on CDMA networks, 405 mins on GSM, 530 mins on WCDMA and 230 minutes on LTE. The device should come with a 2,300 mAh battery....so well that sounds much better as compared to its previous launchs....:)...So I am excited for its launch...probably in first week of November..and may be get to have the BAR of KITKAT as in OS of Nexus 5..so there is a lot to come out.....so waiting it to be launched

If its true, and I think it's a long shot, it's a brilliant marketing move to keep it quiet and build up anxiety over the small battery so the higher price of the 3000 is now almost an afterthought.

A few pages back someone asked if they were going to hold an event or not before officially releasing it. I want to expand on that discussion.

So let's assume they are going to hold an event. How will we know about it? The same press that gets the invitations will probably make articles and pages saying they got invited to an event by Google? How long after the invitations go out does the event usually happen? Something like 2 weeks? At this point, does the 14th seem possible as a release date for the Nexus 5? What if they decide not to hold an event, and just make them available on the Play Store, like a silent release. I think that would be pretty cool. Let the customers and press find out about it on their own, more-or-less.

2. PHYSICALLY the phone doesn't fully support the required VZ freqs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drhill:
LG does make the phone to Google's requirements. LG is the one who submits the testing to the FCC. The FCC testing for the device didn't test the Verizon frequencies, not that the hardware couldn't do it (that's a maybe/maybe not). The G2 got a very late amendment for testing for Verizon, but that doesn't mean the N5 will.

Hey its fun to follow the spec leaks. Sure we know they could change completely in the actual release product but they do tend to be fairly close. If you followed the Moto X leaks to release, our leaks/guesses were pretty much spot on. I think the only "surprise" hardware wise was the x8 platform with the 2 smaller cores. Some people were disappointed the Moto X was not cheaper but I think most of us knew that since it was not a nexus device it would be priced like all the other retail phones.

But yea its still fun to follow the leaks!
