While even Android 4.4 on the Nexus 5 could be smoother in terms of frame rate. I thought I'd get annoyed by it, but it doesn't bother me much. I kinda miss iTunes, keeping syncing things organized within one central program, but I rarely used it.

I'll have to disagree there. They're both phones that can do similar things, and both have similar hardware features (although they obviously differ). When usage scenarios and network conditions are as close as possible, only then can the battery life really be compared. So, I think that it's appropriate in my particular case.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
My comparison is like for like here. My network doesn't yet offer lte and my s3 was not the lte version. Bear in mind my s3 was quad core 1.4Ghz so im not sure how my S3 compared to yours.

But my N5 I am doing 16 hour days (8 hrs low signal area) with 4.5 hrs+ screen on. I could get that on my s3 if I didn't leave the house but a normal day would be 3 hrs on s3.

I am undervolted by 50 and using greenify though

Fair enough I respect your disagreement. Although for me I disagree that they do similar things too. On the face of it they do, but for the hardcore of us I don't feel that's true. Not to spark an iPhone / android debate here (so this will be my last word on ios) but I see ios more as a "feature phone" than a "smart phone".

If the iPhone does all you need and you can get better battery, its a no brainer. Its just the os work completely different. The n5 is much more powerful and bigger screened and the architecture is incomparable.

On the face of it they do the same "calls, emails, web and some apps" but the comparison stops there I feel. It depends how involved you wish to become.

As I say, go with your heart on which you prefer. Take battery into consideration but don't let it rule the decision. Go for what suits you, not what anyone else says

So I've convinced myself to wipe & root later, backing up with Helium and the normal Google backup (for system settings and such). That should get me mostly setup the way I had pre-wipe, right? I should have some time this weekend to just start from scratch again, but would definitely like to avoid most of it if possible, which it seems like it is.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Just wondering, if you don't like it will you return it? I personally don't know if unlocking the bootloader will affect that. Anyone know?

I went into it with the intentions of returning it within the 14-day period, but I'm liking things more than I thought, so I honestly don't know what I'll do just yet.

Unrooting the device and going completely back to stock should be enough when returning it, no?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
The problem is that although you can re lock the bootloader, a flag is set which as yet I don't think is reversible. I honestly don't know how that sits with a return..

There's nothing in the Google Play return policy that really details what would prevent a full return, so that might leave the door open?

Yep possibly. Just wanted to let you know. The worst that could happen is you'd have to sell it instead?

I imagine I can sell it locally, so long as I get at least $400 cash for it. Was about $390 after tax and shipping on Google Play, so a $50 increase from the online price isn't too unreasonable to get it locally (still considering Best Buy and RadioShack have it for $100 more, plus more tax).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 This explains how to go back to stock and reset the ticker/flag. I was going to return mine, and did this. It worked well. Decided to keep it though. As far as battery goes. The thing that helped the most was disabling ok google and google now. I couldn't say ok google, and have it listen to me anymore. But I didn't use it much anyway. Between that and putting on a custom rom and kernel. I have 65% left at the end of the day, instead of having to recharge by 6:00
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
What are some of your other numbers like (such as screen)?

I'm down to 20% since I first made the original post (7hr37m on battery, screen at 4hr3m).

[Nexus 5 General] drwedge:
Thanks for this! I have an iPhone 5 and have my N5 on order. I won't get it for a couple more weeks, but I've read a few articles and some other reviews indicating that maybe the N5 isn't the powerhouse I had hoped. With that said, I get the impression that it's a good all around phone and with the help of a new kernel & maybe a ROM, it could be really great.

Personally - I'm not so bothered about battery life. I'm more concerned with overall performance and good data speeds. I'm averaging 3.5GB/mo on VZW, and their data coverage where I need it is kinda lack luster. So I'm hoping that TMO will live up to their hype in my are and that my data connectivity will be more consistent and stable.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
How soon would it be considered too soon to start complaining about battery life? Chrome, on Wi-Fi, brightness as low as possible, and I can lose a percent every two to three minutes, which isn't too satisfactory.

At most, I'll probably keep the Nexus 5 for the exact two weeks before sending it back. Doubt I'll get into different ROMs and other tweaks.
[Nexus 5 General] unvaluablespace:
looked up specs on gsmarena before I ordered my nexus 5. was saying nexus 5 vs iPhone 5: 300hrs standby vs 250hrs standby, 17hrs talk time vs 8hrs talk time. So I'm hoping to see at least somewhat better battery life versus my iPhone 5. im stuck on sprint, and where I live we don't even have LTE yet, so stuck at their painfully slow so called "3G" speeds. half the time ill even have half to full bars, and data will error out saying I have no data connection. the store where I work somehow magically gets signal in certain hotspot areas, but funny enough no signal as soon as I walk out the store. sometimes I have to drive all the way home before I can get signal again. was hoping a new phone would fix this issue. as least give me decent signal in comparison. my old iPhone 4 never had as serious of issues as my iPhone 5, which I even exchanged for a new one. even wifi sucks where people with other phones (even iphones) will state they have wifi, and mine doesn't even see the same signal. very disappointed with the iPhone 5, and I know its not just me either, as ive literally seen others around me with their "beloved" iphones, and sometimes even have some of the same issues as me, but pretend like they don't see it.

cant wait to get away from the sheeple crowd.... but all the negative stuff I've read between here and the nexus 5 subreddit, im kind of scared to be honest lol. just crossing my fingers.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
If you're looking to save a lot of money on an unsubsidized phone, obviously the Nexus 5 is the way to go. Personally, I'd rather spend the extra money and get a used One or GS4. The rather quiet speaker and somewhat poor battery life on the Nexus 5 are a bit disappointing to me. Definitely going back to my iPhone 5 for a while once I return it. I wonder what the GS5 will bring!

The iPhone loses immediately against any top of the line Android device. There is no reason to even turn the iPhone on for comparision's because the last time I checked software could not make a 4" screen into anything larger.

It's clear you want a big screen. That's great. Move onto somewhere else.

[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
My battery life has also been wildly inconsistent with this phone. It started really crappy, then I had a few days where it was outlasting what my GS4 could do by a mile, and now it's crappy again. At least it charges really quickly.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
If I was trolling I would be telling people to buy an iPhone. Learn the difference between trolling and the truth.....

If Android phones only came in a 4" size and Apple was the one making 5" devices, then Apple would probably be getting my money.
[Nexus 5 General] unvaluablespace:
I'm referring to the users that pretend the iPhone is a perfect device, and listed several examples of what I was referring too. Not all iPhone users are "sheeple". I'm just saying that I've had several iPhones in the past, and they're far from perfect. I'm sure the nexus 5 will be as well, but frankly from my point of view, they both seem exactly the same, just different.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Immediately saying "the iPhone loses immediately against any top of the line Android device" is idiotic at best.

I can definitely imagine a software update fixing a lot of the issues that people are coming up with (wish they had better QA testing from the beginning).
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sorry, I didn't realize I needed to keep going. I thought you were smarter then that but apparently not. Once you turn on an iPhone it sucks even more.

How's that for ya?

And yes, it does lose immediately due to size. Many of us here would not go back to a 4" phone. So yes, it does lose based on size. How about you get over it and move on. Your opinion isn't the only opinion here just because you started the thread.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Again, you

trolling given the wording, and you

Oh geez...

It's not the fact that you're discussing phones, but the way your attitude is towards things. Not that I should care, since perhaps your life is filled with problems to where that carries over to online discussions, in which that's just the way things are, unfortunately.

With all your cat-fighting, you guys missed the dumbest statement in this thread.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why, he is spot on. I am actually surprised Apple has not sued Google yet over this device. The Nexus 5 has so many similarities to the iPhone, for example. It has a front and back, comes in white or black. It has a camera, a speaker, 4 corners, it can make calls, it has a battery and memory and it even has the number 5 in the name!

If I did not know any better I wouldn't even know which device I was using at any given if someone was to swap them out. The thing I believe the poster was referring to and was the only thing that really made them different was that the N5 uses this weird charging port. It looks really familiar but I just don't remember where else I have seen a charging port like that.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Today's battery life (was better than yesterday's just a tad in terms of overall on-battery time, but screen-on time was a little weaker):

Today's battery life (will probably be the last day posting my numbers):

I had brightness a little higher, and did more stuff when on LTE, which I guess is what resulted in the lower numbers.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Today's battery life. Turned Wi-Fi on towards the latter part of the day. The part where the signal was decreased was when I was in an LTE area for a while. I don't think that being on lower-signal LTE areas (when compared to HSPA+, obviously) isn't affecting my battery life a whole lot.
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
You won't dare to complain about battery life, will you?.

Thanks for posting this. I am also switching from a T-mobile iPhone 5 to the Nexus 5. I wanted something with more freedom and power user abilities since I am a tech nerd. The iPhone is just so bland and even with iOS 7, Apple shows no signs of real change or opening up.

[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Why would it? It's not by any means bad.
[Nexus 5 General] Pudgey San:
I see.. Yeah, it just was mentioned in a couple reviews and I guess I am just used to the luxury of my note 2s 3100 battery. Myself it gets me through most of the day and it charges supa fast.. Was just curious. I'm new in the Nexus section lol.
[Nexus 5 General] ptarrant:
slight difference in screen size there :)

Besides, the N5 comes with really no bloatware (other than some of the google stuff, such as Google+ which I consider bloatware). I'm not sure if you had something custom on the Note2 but i came with bloatware that would run a battery down more.

Would i like a bigger battery? of course. However, I have a charger in my office, a USB in the car (2amp) and of course one at home if need be. I never really go below 50%. It sounds like a hassle at first, but it's not really an issue. I drive 30 min to work, so there is an hour of slow charging, and i normally "top off' while at work.

I do "exercise" the battery about once a week, get it to about 5% then charge. just for the heck of it. Old habit i guess.

I also have set CPU and root, and have had some great success underclocking as needed when battery get below 50%, 33%, 25% I have profiles for all those, and of course a screen off profile. all those underclock the cores to around 1/2 or under max speed. especially the screen off profile...thats set to like 1ghz max and 300 something lowerend.

just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 5 General] tsaunders:
besweeet to get better sound out of the headphones go into google play music and turn on the equalizer. You can either leave it on or turn it off after this. I had the same issue with the headphones and that fixed it. I am hoping Google looks into this.
[Nexus 5 General] besweeet:
Even if Google Play Music is disabled?

Tomorrow's my last day with the phone so I'm not worried about it at this point. I'm still sure (sorta...) that an update from Google would fix it.

[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Well the camera does pretty good photos indeed, but only when it wants to lol. It's a hit or miss.

But yes, is somewhat slow and touch to focus is really buggy. Its been said a patch would come to fix it, but here we are still waiting for it. What phone are you thinking of? An iPhone again?.

It all depends on how you define 'better'. Coffee is better than beer when I want to wake up in the morning but beer is better than coffee when I want to get drunk, for example.

You can do a side by side comparison to help you make an informed choice on what's best for you by looking at the relevant pages on the XDA-Developers Wiki. :)

Good luck!
