ART vs Dalvik Screenshots, Experiences, Stats, and More

[Shilohcane]

What was your screen-on time for those two days? That looks pretty impressive regardless.

Also, in general, what are the drawbacks to using ART? Are there any? Does it use up more memory? It sounds like despite whatever drawbacks there are, it's still a net positive move.

I have no clue how long Screen ON was on since a lot of my times was to read a short Text message or to look at a NFL score and stats on Sunday and put it back in my pocket at the Sports Bar watching all the games. I pick up my phone between 40 to 60 times a day. When the Notification light is on I always check it. During that 53 hours I had voice calls and even streamed music and ordered a Pizza from Popa John's App. Last night after I made that screen shot I had a 45 minute phone call and the battery chart showed Zero Screen ON time for that phone call. I also streamed music to my bluetooth headset and it had zero screen time. I use my Nexus 5 as my portable device and it isn't my only device when I am home or at work.

I have found zero drawbacks to using ART since I turned it on just after the 4.2.2 update. I have read that App are like 5% larger that uses your storage.

Flick0416 this next statement isn't pointed at you. I keep getting the feeling that some people that don't own a Nexus 5 only want stats posted of it with a POWER RUN-DOWN test so they can pretend the Nexus 5 has a weak battery. I am between a light to moderate user that picks up the phone about 40 to 60 times a day to checkout text, email or sports score. Right now I am at 36 hours at 68% of my battery since I charged it. This is my normal use.

The only bug I have noticed is IMDB is a bit sluggish and likes to crash. Everything else is as smooth as butter.

In Settings > Battery (the screenshot you posted), if you tap on "Screen" it will show you how long your screen was on. I rarely go above 2 hours of screen-on time for a 24-hour period, so I get really good battery life too.
