Hello All,
Just jumped on the Android wagon late last week with this device, loving it so far! Ending up selling my Nokia Lumia 1020, bought a Nexus 32GB model barely used with a case...and managed to pocket some money from it. SCORE! I have experience with Android, although the last time i used one was an S3 running 4.0 which was meh...but thats why i went stock android this time. Just for an overview these have been my smartphones:
iPhone3G > Samsung Focus WP7 > Samsung GS3 > Lumia 920 > iPhone 5S > Lumia 1020 > Nexus 5
As you can see I have experience in all 3 OS's, and have been an avid fan of mobile technologies for a long time now.
The one "issue" (if we can call it that) is the battery life. Now, its not HORRIBLE as i can get 18-20 hours on medium use out of it. I can see the possibility of getting over 24 hours but refuse to turn off vibrate while typing (love this feature), OK Google (also a benefit as when i drive i use this to text) or location (set to battery saver). I am a person who wants to get a lot out of my phone, id sacrifice to charge more frequently and it as a smartphone rather than a brick.
One of the offenders I have no control over is Cell Standby, my home has pretty weak signal which i know gives the battery a work out. I set my screen brightness to 10%. Wifi is on but not discovering available networks only connects to known. I use a lot of apps, especially being deprived from using Windows for so long (hehe).
Does anyone have any good tips or video to reference that can help extend my battery further? I do not want to root my phone, just an fyi...i want to keep as stock as possible.
