Excuse me if I'm skeptical about your statement. How do you know the N5 doesn't have GRAM? Is there a way to check or verify?
[Nexus 5 General] Dredyouall:
Okay first days usage gave me 4 hours of screen time and 20 hours overall off charge. (with 12% remaining at this point)

Wifi on

Autobrightness on

quite strong signal

Mixed usage, mostly browsing reddit/feedly this morning and messenger last night. Also some DS emulation (which runs like a dream as you'd expect)

So overall, i'm really happy with that. I was afraid the phone would be worse than the N4 when they revealed the battery size but it's pretty solid.
[Nexus 5 General] jamel_tza:
So basically the phone has okay battery. From all the screenshots I've seen there seems to be around a 10-15% improvement in battery, which I suppose is impressive since the processor is faster, screen is bigger with more pixels and Google Now is always listening from the home screen.

All in all its hard for me to be satisfied though knowing that the G2 is so much more of a beast when it comes to battery. Also throughout most of my day I will not have wifi access so my battery won't be much different from my nexus 4's right now..
[Nexus 5 General] Whyzor:
How did you root your phone? The sticky thread here says no custom recoveries boot up at this time.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Cf-root

Put phone in fast boot - double click the file on your Pc.

Chainfire made his auto root available just 10 mins after owning the phone. #Legend
[Nexus 5 General] Whyzor:
You mean cf-auto-root to be specific? cf-root modifies kernel & recovery and is not maintained by Chainfire from my brief Googling.

Battery life looking good folks.

8 hours on battery so far, 90 mins screen time with 74% left.

All on WiFi with browsing the order of the day mind.

[Nexus 5 General] MuertoKo:
Guys I've checked many hand on and couldn't find any trustful answer to my question, so let's try asking here:

How is it regarding heat? Does it hit at all? I've had both S3 and N4 and both were a bit of a heater sometimes (after going 30m in the underground and so) or when heavy browsing chrome, you could feel the heat. On S3 was on the screen and on N4 on the back high part... So pretty curious about N5.

I've ordered my 32Gb Black and until then... The more info the easier waiting.

Thanks for all info regarding battery btw, it helped me much on being satisfied :)

No overheating troubles for me yet. It's gotten pleasantly very very slightly warm when i've just been playing quite a demanding game and charging it at the same time. But honestly, it's so slight it may just be the warmth from my hands.
[Nexus 5 General] H-Cim:
Current battery : 72 %

1h 30 min screen on

5h battery

(Benchmarking, installing apps, removing apps, doing some games, benchmarks, reboots, etc). Epic Citadel does 50 fps on full quality & resolution for those intrested - the device didn't even feel warm after doing the benchmark so overheating is certainly not a problem. Again contrary to my HTC One X.

I must say the battery is VERY good, even though it's only it's only like 5 hours old it performs 2x better then my HTC One X (tried every rom & kernel on that phone and it didn't even get near this performance).

DISCLAIMER: Don't judge the battery by this info, it needs at least a week of use before it really shows how good it is. Yet I think this kind of info might help people decide.

PS: Sorry for bashing the HTC One X ;).
[Nexus 5 General] MuertoKo:
THANKS! First report that I care so far, no heating gaming? OK, that's a must buy for me. Oh well, already ordered anyway... Now I can't wait U.U

[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
thanks for screencap combo, was trying the old power+home.

On my first use out of the box, I got 24 hours 'on' time, 4.5 hrs screen time. Of course this was my first time with the phone, and I was trying out a lot of stuff. It just took about 2 hours to recharge.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
Idk the battery seems the level of the one

Believe me guys with g2 u will never have battery problems 8 hour screen time is easy doneable there. Stupid lg i want that battery life on nexus
[Nexus 5 General] Jiyeon90:
The Z1 and LG G2 get really hot while running plants and zombies 2, can anyone try that game on this device?
[Nexus 5 General] Dredyouall:
Played it for a good 10 mins, device got slightly warm maybe over a longer period that might be a problem? Doubt it though.
[Nexus 5 General] digweed4me:
so ppl are getting 6 hour screen on time average by looking at the all the screenshots.franco kernel could easily improve screen on time by 2 hours so we are looking at 8 hour damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i am in love hurry up ups.
[Nexus 5 General] aohus:
Can someone do a test of

LTE on all day (maybe a few hours of WiFi in the day)

GPS on

BT on

With medium usage (web browsing, apps, but no games)

How much total on-screen time would you get?
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
Why would you assume that about Franco's kernel? From my experience, his kernel experience varies by both device and ROM, and never has it given me anything near 2 extra hours. Maybe 30 minutes extra on the Nexus 4, max. Seems like you're setting yourself up for a huge disappointment if you're expecting 8 hours screen on time. I'm expecting 4-5, hoping for 6.
[Nexus 5 General] digweed4me:
It did on my nexus 4 and he has already released kernel for nexus 5 so it takes time. I can't wait for his lcd gamma tweaks made my nexus 4 color calibration perfect.
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
I think it's just how processor intense the game is. Both my Nexus 10 and my Note 2 get super hot after playing PvZ2 for a while
[Nexus 5 General] DammitCubs:
this number is impossible to quantify based on everyone's different usage models. Need to normalize.
[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
The Results are in!

Ok all, here are my battery results;

I finished the test at 5% purely because I wanted to transfer some stuff and I didn't want it to interfere with the results. At one point in the day the phone was switched off for the fitting of a wet screen protector :).

As I said before some more normal usage like phone calls, use of google docs, listening to music through the loudspeaker of the phone. I had the phone on WiFi from about 8am till approx 9:45am then it's been on mobile data for the rest of the day.

Music was played locally from the device not streamed from Play Music for about two hours, meanwhile updating some google docs (writing down reps from lifting weights lol), all voice calls made through bluetooth headset, auto brightness, all syncs on, google now on, location settings on "Battery Saving" (WiFi and Mobile Networks to estimate location).

I didn't play any games on the phone today.
[Nexus 5 General] Jiyeon90:
Looks OK to me, should be able to last 1 day with medium/light usage.

Compared to the other recent flagships though, it's kinda dissapointing
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
It's gonna feel weird not getting all panicky if I forget to charge my phone overnight, like I often do now (Note 2). Guess I'll just have to keep a charger at the office, and perhaps buy one for the car too. Not too big of a deal to rid myself of Shamesung.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
Wow your mobile signal was really bad the entire time. Big drain.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
If it has the same or longer battery life than the nexus 4, I'm happy. Can anyone confirm this?
[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
Well you say it's disappointing but I disagree;

If you look at the screenshots you will see how much battery has been taken by the voice calls compared to screen on time;

30% of the total battery use was from the 3hr47m for screen on time but...

A whopping 26% for only 1hr28m of voice call time! If we use that ratio and just double it (assuming all network strength was the same) you'd likely lose 52% of your battery in just under 3 hours...(this is just an estimation based on my results btw).

I honestly don't understand the hard-on people get for screen on time when voice calls seem to drain the battery much much harder... doesn't anyone use their device as a phone anymore?

Also if you take into consideration how bad my signal was the battery life I had today was all the more impressive.

A Random Afterthought:

IF that 26% that were used on Voice calls were used for screen on time...although realistically it'd probably be something like 17-20% with the rest on random android processes and processor usage; the screen on time could easily be above 5 hours possibly pushing 6 with bad signal and no wifi O_O...
[Nexus 5 General] Enddo:
believe me, i wont lose any sleep if you dont believe me. it's hardware and it's not listed in the manual, fcc filing, or anywhere near any nexus 5 articles
[Nexus 5 General] shr33kant:
As a previous N4 owner...yes, MUCH better. You will be very happy. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Thanks! I was already happy with my stock N4 battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
Idk battery seems to be bad, and the battery results I can do myself with franco....

G2 have 2,5 more battery life than nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] MuertoKo:
Yeah, sure, 3000/2300=2.5... Really guys, G2 has more battery but some more battery hungry functions as well as a bit more screen...

Still better battery? OK, perhaps, but that doesn't mean that you can just say "battery seem to be bad"

Come on, be serious

Hey guys, I am thinking of buying a power bank. Do you know what would be the best and most portable and power bank? I did not receive my Nexus yet but I am not expecting a great battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] Dredyouall:
Agreed, I mean, it's a 700ma gap but i'm sure LG haven't made the most of that 700ma, especially with their frankly insane android skin with all its odd bells and whistles. That said, maybe they're secretly optimisation geniuses... I'm not counting on it though.

Depends how much extra juice you need? this will easily get you through the day as is. If you're a road warrior then go for the biggest meanest powerpack you can find and have no regrets. If you just don't encounter a charger for a couple of days then something around 2600-3000mah should do you just fine.

you can get a 3,000mAh one from amazon that is the size of a lighter/lipstick case

i got a 14,000mAh one from amazon but it's big, twice as thick as the nexus 4 with a case. but it will fully charge my N4 3 full times before needing to be recharged

[Nexus 5 General] crazyalaa:
Ok I am a bit confused. How can the Nexus have "internet time up to 8.5 hours on Wi-Fi, up to 7 hours on LTE" but can only have 4-5 hours of screen time?
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
The way google explained their battery tests is that they loaded a page, then waited 40 seconds, and loaded another/same page. So I guess they could have the screen off for those 40 seconds.Not 100% sure though if this is correct.
[Nexus 5 General] jasonlu1992:
I am sorry I don't have this devices, but I tried it on both my galaxy s4 and iphone 5s, both of them getting really hot after a while. I think it's the software issue, nothing with hardware & OS.

[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
4 hours screen on time on Wi-Fi is really not that great. You would probably achieve 2 1/2 hours screen on time using LTE. I used to get those results on my Galaxy Nexus.

Hopefully I don't run into same problem like the N4 with terrible battery life. That is main reason why I sold my N4. I remember everyone in the forum gave me hell. I tried every single rom and kernel combo
[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
It's enough as long as you have a life.
[Nexus 5 General] Soldier 2.0:
I own an s4 with the 7500mah battery and got used to 2 1/2 days up time with 9 hours screen on time. It will be tough to get used to charging my phone once, sometimes twice a day.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
my note 2 for some reason wasn't too great. i used to get 4-5 hours screen on time with medium usage and brightness on extreme low per charge on wifi and 3-4 hours screen on time on medium usage and lowest brightness when on LTE. i wish i had a great battery life like everyone did but i tried everything, nothing seemed to give me more than that. if n5 gives me same results, i'll be fine with it.

Can someone do a standby test...I'd like to see how sorted the wakelocks are out of the box. Just set it down for an hour or more and measure the MV drop or percentage. N4 was around 1% per hour with all syncing turned on but with custom kernels. More like 4 or 5% stock at launch.
[Nexus 5 General] Ulver:
I'm going to assume that all these battery reports are with Google Now enabled, and I know that Google Now can kill your battery. I currently have that turned off with my N4 and get 3-4 hour SOT. So seeing these posts with 3-4 hour SOTs with Google Now is pretty good. I can't wait to see the battery life with it turned off.

The answer is sort of "yes". Yes because of a dead battery, but there are other reasons to make backups, so in my opinion, the need for a good backup app has not gone away.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
Vibration intensity on the Nexus 4 is ****, very weak IMO, and not adjustable in the stock ROM.

But luckily in Cyanogenmod they have added an option to increase the intensity. The default seems to be at 50%, but with CM10.1/10.2 can be increased to 100%... I have no idea why the default by stock Android was set at 50%

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nor-ric:
What I'm trying to achieve is modding the keyboard (HTC_IME) so that it inputs multiple characters with a single key press. For example, I want it to input ":)" when long pressing a key.

I've tried the following, but it doesn't work:

<string name="alternates_for_p20_op">p o P O :)</string>

It does work if instead of ":)" I choose a single character. I've also tried with two letters (thinking that maybe it didn't work with punctuation and parenthesis) but it doesn't work too.

How am I supposed to get this working? I've also tried using quotes, but to no avail. I can see the string :) among the available choices when I keep pressed the key, but if I choose it the keyboard doesn't input anything.

Thanks
