how is your N5 battery life discussion ? when you turn on everything such as bluetooh on , NFC on, sync on, gps on, and brightness set to either 100% or to auto, I wonder how long is your nexus can get through since you fully charged the phone itself from 5-6am in the morning . can it last till evening 10pm if the whole day you use it for texting , facebook, instagram, chrome with 5 tabs minimum , youtube, mail, reading news, recording video and take a snap from the camera .
a humble experience from all of you will be highly appreciate guys.
p.s = the reason why I making this thread is to compare with how good the battery with moto x.
No one even has the phone yet.

I should be more specific, I'm talking about ordinary people. The people taking pictures using N5 and comparing it to the iPhone 5S are media outlets who have had prior access to the device (or early access from Google).
And honestly if they DO have the phone then they cannot comment on the battery life because it'll take at least 3-5 days (given a week) for the battery to settle in. Not to mention, you won't be doing your daily things on the phone as you'll be busy setting it up with the apps you've used in the past/transferring data/etc.

Nothing a little Titanium backup can't solve. By the looks of the other threads in the forum some people have had the device for a while... As early as the beginning of October. No point in shooting down someone's thread just because you have nothing to contribute to it.

OT: I know this isn't the right place but...How is the back of the white N5? It get dirty fast? Could it turn yellow as someone said? :s
IT: It should take a week for the battery to stabilize, so the first real impression could come just in some days

Its lovely but so is the black I got both here but prefer the white.
The OS is the biggest change, a lot has changed in kitkat. Different ways to access different things and the app menu is completely different. Battery life I got near 3h 58 with 10 percent left from 82 percent and that's from restoring all my apps and more so I'm kinder hoping we'll reach 5h or a little more. Screen is beautiful but speaker isn't great. Though I'm comparing the speaker to a 5S which is pretty good.

I have nothing to contribute? ...... you can't tell the battery life with having the device for less than a week.
This thread is just as pointless as the threads asking for the best ROM/Kernel or threads asking when TMobile will have N5?
I'm not shooting anyones thread but its just a silly question to ask when the phone was released just a little over 24 hours when only <1% of orders requested has been fulfilled. The only ones with the phones right now are media outlets or the individuals who ordered immediately and live in a close proximity to the point that they can have next-day shipping pretty much.

I've been having a few problems lately. Ever since the 4.3 update, my power button is REALLY sensitive. I can barely tap it and it will bring up the power menu. Sometimes hitting the power button doesn't work. I don't think it is a hardware problem as I've disassembled the s3 and the logic board and power switch are fine.
Part two:
I thought this and the battery drain/charging issues I've been having may have been due to a bad OTA so I attempted to boot to download and reflash the rom with ODIN.
Herein lies the problem. When I boot to download mode (which is almost impossible because of the power button problems) it will sit there for a moment then reboot. To clarify, I can get into download mode where it tells me how many times I've tripped the flash counter, etc. After that it reboots. Also when it does reboot, sometimes it loops, again I assume this is due to the power button issues.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download "rebooter" from the market (red circle icon), open this app and it give you an option to boot to bootloader/recovery, see if you phone still reboot without touching your power button.
Tried that. Same result.

OK, then you should call Verizon and get another one. I think something is wrong with your hardware. Sorry.
I just had the same problem, then the next day it stopped working altogether. I just paid, yesterday as a matter a fact, 30 bucks to have my power button replaced. So far, so go! Just find a reputable cell phone repair company in your area.

I know what your talking about and it's only happened to me after updating to 4.3 OTA.
The power/phone options menu I'm talking about is the power button long press.
Well, this comes up without touching the button. It's like it's some kind of static, because it'll do it several times in a row while randomly shutting off the screen, etc.
Very frustrating.

It might not be a 4.3 problem but a physical problem. This is a extreme case but your phones might be on there way. If you are having the same problem as this thread the fix should work for you. The reason I don't think its the update is because it doesn't happen to me.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611166

If you took the ota and did not do a factory reset after you are almost certainly going to have weird settings you didn't have before. My girlfriends alarm also flashes the flash its actually kind of nice because it wakes you up fast.
Can you post a screenshot of the about phone section in settings? Cause if your on 4.3 you should not have your baseband be MF1.

The update took only about 5-7 minutes.
However, after the update my phone rebooted. Then it did it again. Then it did it yet again. Etc.
I think I've tracked it down. Every single one of apps that were moved to the SD card (43 in my case) "broke" in that they could no longer be launched. I've spent the last hour moving them all back to internal memory, and that seems to fix them, and the phone isn't spontaneously rebooting now either.
Never had that occur before.

Idk if a rollback is possible. I'm keeping mine stock so I'm taking updates, but for those interested in root I would see if rollback is possible before taking any updates.

Phone is running better after update...no idea why, since this appears to be just a security update. Maybe the optimization process after the update cleared out some junk.

Your phone might be defective then because I almost never get below 6 sot. I usually get between 7 and 10 hours. I even got 12 once.
I'm on 5.1.8 and I'm having issues with Spotify. When using Spotify it would disappear from the status bar after some time. But Spotify would still be running but I'll not have control over it outside the app.
Anyone else?
Yep, I still have problems with it..
