Honestly besides taming/uninstalling bad apps phone signal plays a huge part in how much battery time you get. More so than some people seem to realize. As long as I'm on Sprint(won't be much longer) I will never see the battery life some of you guys get as my phone has NEVER gotten a good signal for any of the places within my daily activities. As in I NEVER see green on my phone signal on the battery usage screen. Got to jump ship soon.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
I use both extensively and they use barely any battery at all. Something else was amiss on your phone or you didn't set the app up properly. If you don't use/like the app then you did the right thing and disabled it

[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
wrong. i do keep my screen at about 25%, but i turn nothing off. i just dont install crappy apps lime most of you. no facebook on my devices, as well as the xda app. i mostly use the browser for that kind of stuff instead of installing the crappy apps. and on top of everything, i have a great quality lte signal in my area.. great signal = better battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] angelriathica:
Thank you!!! I thought I was going crazy, I can't never get that.

All I have is one gmail account and twitter that's all..I even turn off syncing when I'm home cause I sync with my nexus 7..I still can't get 5-7 SOT.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
look at how you set up your device, look at your apps installed. learn how to control apps from running rampant and stealing battery juice. and very importantly, what is the quality of your phone/data signal? now i make very few phone calls. phone calls tend to take a large proportion of battery. i do use a mass amount of data though(about 25-35gb a month), but data flow uses less juice than a phone call, especially when on lte getting about 30-38mbps download and 22-25mbps upload speeds. fast downloads/uploads equal less time spending download/uploading equal better battery. it takes me about 8-10 minutes to download a 1gb file on lte, where it takes me an hour+ on hspa.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
7 hours SOT is possible. I have seen some guys do it. I'm mostly on wifi and 4g. Google accounts Facebook and Twitter snapchat and Instagram. Google plus and few calls. That's my general use of my house. Constant whatsapp.

I'm running ART though. Battery tends to be better with good signal areas.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
Here is mine..... Guess you were wrong.......:cool: Others Ive seen got 8 hours of SOT.
[Nexus 5 General] ExodusC:
I guess I stand corrected, but that's very close. That's an abnormal use case scenario, I think the vast majority of people have cellular connection on for parts of their day.
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
Wifi and Data on the whole time for me.
[Nexus 5 General] ExodusC:
I'm curious, were you actually using the phone during that time, or was it sitting idle? Do you have any aggressive underclock settings or anything?
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
Yes I was using it, texting and surfing the net. An hour of music with player pro and 30 mins of that was on BT. I am on Faux (UC 1700mhz/300mhz) no UV. Kernel Catataclysm. Brightness was set to 20%. Google Now off and location was off.
[Nexus 5 General] angelriathica:
That's all good SOT!! Is it on stock? No custom kernels..just out the box with your normal usage and apps of course.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
In the right conditions you can get just under 9 hours of WiFi browsing time. That's stock at 200nits brightness, all other radios turned off and no apps you're typical users install. Custom Roms should do even better.

It's all in how you use it but that's obvious by now.
[Nexus 5 General] G.Newton:
Spot on. I'm also in Austin using AIO (AT&T prepaid) and I'm getting LTE everywhere. I'm not a heavy/power user and usually end the day with about 55-65% battery with about just short of 2 hours of screen on time. Coming from a Sprint GNex.. this thing has amazing battery life. The GNex would nearly die at around 8-9PM, also due to Sprint's poor signal in certain areas in Austin. My usage mostly consists of gmail, facebook, hangouts SMS/MMS, news reading in chrome, a few phone calls, and about an hour of listening to music.

Bigger battery would have been awesome. I'm satisfied with current battery life though.

[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
Nope, I've got a pretty fast LTE connection where I am.

Battery easily gets me through the day. Generally around 4.5 hours screen on time. I don't sit on my phone all day, nor do I need to. I have other things to do.
[Nexus 5 General] gd6noob:
For the past week, I get 2 days without plugging in. I'm not a heavy user and use my phone for that is it is, A Phone. I get 2.5-3hrs of SOT. I'm happy. If I want to play games or watch movies, I have my tablet which has a bigger screen.

Besides, if Google added a bigger battery, better camera or whatever, the phone won't be $349/$399, it will be much higher.. You can't get get a phone with awesome hardware for cheap, unless you sign a contract...
[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
Now I doubt 7 hours of SOT using 25% brightness for obvious reasons lol
[Nexus 5 General] nrvate:
Interesting, I've read about some folks running into this -- Some found they had location sharing on, and it was keeping GPS alive, others found after clearing Google+'s application data and rebooting the issue went away.

Google+ seems completely dormant for me, unless I use it -- Doesn't usually even show up in battery stats unless I've been using it.

Personally Google needs to add a "run with screen off" user-friendly setting -- IMHO there's a limited number of apps I want doing anything when the phone is screen-off... Just the apps I want to actually bother me.. New email, IM, VOIP client, Google Voice, etc.. I enforce this by denying keep alive permissions, but with Google vying so hard to keep App Ops out of our hands it's even more difficult to deal with, especially for the casual user who isn't going to tinker with something like Xposed or Greenify.

Haaa! I was on T-mobile for a few weeks on the N5 and their poor coverage was a battery killer as well. GNex's are just not very good with battery life it seems, we use them as a development platform at work and it gets annoying. Luckily we'll be moving to N5's soon, that's going to be awesome all around. Really hoping Sprint and T-mobile get a nice slice of the upcoming 600mhz auctions so they can build out a proper low-band network -- It's their only hope to compete with the 80% slice of the 700mhz pie ATT/VZW own.

That's all fine and dandy, but it is a smartphone and a huge selling point of those, is an app store. So if you're not installing apps, I think dumb phone is better suited for that kind of use.
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I'm guessing it was a conscious decision to give us a reason to update to the nexus 6 :crying: , I would have been happy with the 2610 mAh battery of the LG G2 korean version, they still would have saved a couple of bucks , since the 3000 may be considerably more expensive? (and bigger) :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
Yup looks like it's a marketing scheme, forcing users to upgrade. Truthfully, I'm going to stay clear of the nexus line in the future. The cheap build quality and the underpowered battery are huge disappointments for me. To each their own.
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
battery is pretty bad and probably the worst i have i have ever encountered

[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Cause they are not a HW company and their only attention was to get the fastest SoC and highest 2013-level screen-res to showcase Android at it's best, not really caring about speakers, build material, battery size etc. I doubt many Google employees actually use the Nexus 4 or 5, think how many times they'd have to charge in that line of work!
[Nexus 5 General] LBTaylor1984:
I'm on LTE used the phone all day and tethered my Nexus 7 to it, off charge at 7am, 1am next morning 12% left.

2.5 hours screen on time aswell

Can't complain at that
[Nexus 5 General] trsix:
Reasonable size phone

I think their plan was to keep the phone a reasonable size. Pretty large screen in a small package.

You'd need a bigger package to stuff a bigger battery in there.

My battery life is fine but i don't let apps, google or emails auto sync or playstore check for program updates etc.

Location also off unless i need it.

I also realize a phones not a gaming device and expect hours gaming.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
I've never used the photos app that is alongside g+ (I had g+ disabled at first, but turned it back on as I decided to use the wifi syncing afterall) so I'm not too familiar with it, but does it provide functionality that another app couldn't? Personally I've always used quickpic instead of the gallery as I liked it's configuration options better...

Just a thought?
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
You clearly never used an Evo 3D. Or Epic 4G Touch. Or anything else that was released before 2012. Or any other Nexus Device.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Or pretty much any samsung besides note 2....

N5 by far the best battery I've had on any android device.

[Nexus 5 General] TXRaunchy:
From 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM, I do not charge my phone.

I check fb, twitter, instagram multiple times a day with all my emails being pushed.

I play Clash of Clans (we all know how of a battery drain that is) hourly.

Regardless, from the time I leave for work and come back home I still have about 45-55% left.

So the battery is much better than what I came from - the HTC One S.

edit: i am running stock everything with the nova launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] G.Newton:
I was considering T-Mobile prepaid as their $70 unlimited everything plan is pretty damn enticing, but I was afraid of their coverage in Austin and back home... and you just confirmed it. AIO gives me LTE basically everywhere and that might contribute to the excellent battery life I've been getting with the N5. I'm sure everyone's specific usage and signal strength are the biggest factors for how their N5's battery performs.

How can I check the findings when I'm downloading /using any apps
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Battery life was one of my main concerns prior to buying the N5. My basis for comparison is my last phone - HTC Amaze - which could barely make it through the day with only about 45 min SOT. I was concerned that the N5 with the larger 1080P screen was going to leave me in the same situation.

I can tell you that I am very satisfied with my battery life for my type of use. I rarely have my screen on for more than 2 hours per day. I do a fair amount of texting, some browsing, and sometimes an hour of Netflix. Using it like that I will have more than 50% battery left after 16 hrs. My greatest use day saw almost 4 hours of SOT after 16 hours with still 20% left on battery. I pretty much never worry about my phone losing power now.

For the record I'm on Chaos Kernel, Google Now off (I never used it), wi-fi on all the time, bluetooth on all the time. Power users may not be happy with the N5's battery life. But I consider myself an average user and it is more than satisfactory for my usage.

Bottom line, if you need 24 hours and 8 hours of SOT out of a phone, you're looking at the wrong phone. If you're an average user don't let battery fears stop you from getting the N5
[Nexus 5 General] jRi0T68:
Screen shots from that stock battery graph will help.

My biggest battery gain on stock came from disabling apps that I never use and turning sync off on things I don't need synced. I sync my yahoo account, app data, contacts, Google+, gmail and Facebook. Nothing else. All of the other "Play" apps besides the store get disabled. Plus stock browser. That, on stock, took me to 5-6 hrs sot.

There are also WiFi settings that don't need to be on for me.

Keep in mind, that the battery is there TO BE USED. If you need all of those things on, good. Your battery is doing its job. You wouldn't expect your car to get good gas mileage while slamming the gas at every light, driving fast with the AC on blast and the windows down, would you? That's not a usage pattern conducive to good mileage. With a phone, if you're (like my wife) sending 6000 texts a month with extensive time on phone calls and constant web browsing, then carrying an external battery for your phone's "down time" (in the car, on the bus or train, during classes or while in work meetings, etc.) is a good idea. I plan to buy her phone to charge while her phone is in her purse.

The advantage to that versus a bigger internal battery and thicker form factor is that you can return it back to the slimmer size as needed.

1. Charge it over night while you`re sleeping and get up with a full battery.

2. Shutdow all apps and set it 2G mode, 10% brightness and disable auto all autosyncing to save battery life :silly:

3. Get a Nokia 3110 for the best batterylife ever or a Note 2.

4. Get a life and stop messing with your phone all day long.

5. Ask yourself why you bought a phone with a big screen and a smaller battery!

i'm averaging about 28-30 hours per charge. while this is mostly with screen off (since i'm either at work or at home with access to my laptop), i'm syncing everything under the sun (exchange push, all google stuff, facebook, linkedin, twitter, and others), streaming music to my car over BT on my way to and from work, and doing auto backup with Tibu and auto uploads of those backups to google drive every night. i'm also on wifi while at work, or at home (and friends places), but my battery usage doesn't drop that much when i'm not on wifi (weekends or driving around aimlessly).

[Nexus 5 General] Balur:
I have great battery life vs my previous phones, my last one was the HTC One X+ and the Nexus 5 is unmistakably better. Using Bluetooth headphones and LTE I would usually burn 25% or more of my battery on my commute to work, with the Nexus 5 I'm burning about 10%.

If you want to dramatically increase battery life download the Xposed Framework, download the donate version of greenify. In experimental features enable Google Push and System Apps. Leave your phone alone for awhile and start to hibernate anything which is actively running when you turn your phone back on.

This will let your phone go into Deep Sleep more often but it will allow push alerts to continue to function. (Your millage will vary)

I am not a heavy user, I have decent signal only about half of the day, and I don't even care about what apps I am installing. I am projected to have well over 6 hours SOT today. It is really hard to have bad battery on this phone.

In case anyone is interested, my everyday usage pattern is usually

~ 30-45 min of reading sports news

~ 2 hours of reddit browsing / Google Play books

~ 2 hours of Google Music (radio)

~ 30 minutes of phone call

Regularly checking emails during work

I have everything Google syncing except G+. LTE on 100% of the time except at home.
[Nexus 5 General] nrvate:
Indeed. Their HSPA network in Austin is fairly decent, but their LTE network is very thin -- The LTE cells are still too spread out to get solid coverage, and that also puts lots of devices on the cell, making their HSPA service often comparable, if not higher performing, than their LTE network. This should get better as they build LTE out, but I don't think they'll ever match ATT/VZW until they acquire more low-band (under 900mhz) spectrum, which isn't likely to happen until the 600mhz auctions in 2015. AWS (1700/2100mhz) spectrum just doesn't have the coverage or building penetration of low-band UHF. They also have way less capacity downtown than they need -- Forget about reliable data if there's a lot of folks in town for an event.
