Nexus 5 battery life. First full charge - Nexus 5 General

So these are my results from 100% down to around 4% today. Just thought I'd stick them up for the people wondering about battery life!

Pretty impressive. Purely stock?

Thanks for posting. Mind to keep it in of the already existing threads on battery life? Not being a jerk. It's just people like me are already following those threads and may miss your post.

Only first charge it's gonna get lot better. 6 hour on screen time confirmed

For the first charge out of the box, should you charge the device on or off? Cheers

Jon, these are pretty sweet results, may i ask, how did you charge it the first time? Did you use it straight out of the box or charge it first?
Edit: or as above says xD

OK. Will do, cheers. But I'm getting contrasting responses from other threads saying it doesn't matter as the battery is Lithium-ion and that the old type batteries are the ones that really require to be fully charged before use.

People really should stop spreading that full initial charge BS seriously, it's 2013!
Unless you buying an electric power drill with a nickel cadmium or nickel metal-hydride battery, there's NO reason to top it off before using it or to charge for 8 hours! You're not prolonging the life of your battery nor are you preventing a memory effect by fully charging it.

Kawaisa is right!
The battery technology used in these now does NOT need special first charge procedure. Just charge it however you want, and enjoy the phone!

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

It seems stock batteries generally have roughly a ten month life which sucks, but they are very cheap.

cool,
Id still prefer coldfusion or non emmision fuelcells (dont want h20 building up in my pocket. lol. it would be lowtemp slow cooker, causing embarising "fake fap" spots, imagine all the std misdiagnoses)
It's really a pity that the batteries just last 9-10 months. Mine seemed perfectly OK but then the note wouldn't get very far past the samsung logo, messed up the /system and /data partitions. Just had a replacement genuine battery, but will be very pissed if in october it will once again be broken. Maybe it has something to do with charging with more than 1A chargers? In my car I use a 2A charger, at home it is the 1A charger that came with the phone.

I personally have always used stock charger until i had to move in with a friend and started using his non standard, i noticed a big difference in full charge times, went back to stock immediately.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
it is why they advise in manual to use original chargers only.
It could also be your not adopting battery best practices from manual. Maybe to many charge/recharge cycles?
You can also be unlucky.

ive noticed my battery life depleting too lately.
Im a flashaholic with heavy usage, also my note is 7months old now. Ive done calibrations and crap but i can only get around 20hrs from my battery (8-10 of them are when im asleep)
come payday im gonna buy an extended one, but one that wont need an adapted back case.

Extended Battery

Was wondering if anyone knows of a good extended battery?
Im kind of weary of them because before my Note II, I had an HTC EVO 3D and tried using an extended battery and it just fried the the display, it never worked again.
So I was wondering if someone could link me to an extended battery that actually worked for them, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance .

Mugen is crazy asking for $100. I just got my Anker yesterday for 16 bucks on Amazon. Popped it in my phone and it had 50% juice in it. Right now almost 24 hours later I'm sitting at 35%. Still far from being able to tell how good it will be because I haven't had it long enough but it seems very promising.

+1 same question here mate
Hey guys I just got the hyperion 6200 with extended cover and here are my results so far in pics below.
I've had the screen brightness on about %20 the whole time. If you dont mind the bulk this thing is a beast! As of right now it was definitely worth $20. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Thats not much better then stock battery imo, I can easily go 14-20+ hrs with at least 6-7 screen on time heavy usage. The note 2 is a phone that doesn't need an extended battery and deserves to stay the sexy ***** of a phone that it is (no prego back bump needed ) lol
Sent from my SCH-I605 aka macks jellybeans rom.
I definitely agree with the preggo look lol, but so far it seems like its gonna get through 2 days with heavy usage. I do like how long this battery is lasting, but only time will tell if I decide to fully stay with it.

You really can't compare your use to anyone else's. There are too many variables. It's best to compare with yourself. If you consistently get "35 hours with stock battery" would you get 70 with this one? Does anyone who uses an extended battery double or at least increase their usage considerably with it while maintaining the same usage patterns?

Well said! I did double my usage of two days instead of one through my first full charge (heavy user). I always keep my brightness at 20%, some calls emails, some gaming, constantly syncing, and mp3 player at least 4 hours a day. I kept my usage pattern the same since im mostly using it for work.
Only time will tell how long it'll last and how well it'll perform. For right now im happy with the purchase.

Following up with what I said earlier... Tho I do understand extended batteries can definetly be beneficial to extreme heavy users who are away from any way of charging their phone, im quite impressed with my results on stock battery with plenty more battery to kill b4 I get home from work (even on a 12+ hr shift)

Battery life

I have just been on the htc website and they claim a massive 26.2hours of talk time or 1574mins on gsm or 1061 mins on WCDMA, can the battery really be this good with 2300mah? what do you guys think.

If you ask me then yes! I have 6 hours continous video playback on my phone with a 1500mah lithium polymer battery device.

Here's a comparison between the two.
I have an S4 phone with a li-ion. If I'm lucky, I can make it to the end of the day with power left over.
My friend has an S4 Pro with li-poly. He can go 4 days with the same kind of usage I do, and he isn't even at 50% yet.

He must either have secondary battery or have the mobile data turned off except when he uses internet. 4 days with only 50% juice is very unrealistic and unheard of.

Optimus G, so not possible. We both go into places with horrible signal (mostly buildings we drop to horrid 3G or roam in) and that eats at our batteries most.
I've had phones go 2 weeks with no usage, 3 days with light (only calling/texting) usage before.

What is? If you are referring to battery life, it's quite evident that you have charged the phone in the middle.
I usually have 40 % after one full day..
