Exactly. And that's why I love being on these forms. To learn more and help others. I spend all this money on phones and tablets so I might as well use them to their full potential.

Same here glad to hear the same thing. If I can help one person or better yet if I can get one person to try something new be it an APP or even get them into Rooting and what not it is all worth it. I spent countless hours and cash on these devices I want to help everybody else learn all the things they can do with there new technology. If I help one person use there phone for more than the basic essentials to me it is all worth it.
Right on man. People always ask me why I have so many devices and always get new ones... And I think I actually have a solid answer now. Lol

I am able to convince everybody on why I have so many devices and always need the new ones...everybody that is expect the only one that matters....MY WIFE lol is getting more and more of a struggle to convince her after we just spend $400+ on a Nexus 5 lol
Oh boy... Hopefully she does sooner rather than later! Lol although I'm sure buying that nexus didn't help one bit. Lol
So do you root all your devices? Flash Roms etc.

I've been noticing fantastic results lately. On Sunday, I went to bed with about 13 hours off the charger, and around 60% battery still left. Granted, I probably had less than an hour of screen-on time with that, but my Galaxy Nexus barely made a through a day under similar conditions.
One thing I've started to notice though, is that the WiFi seems to drain my battery more than LTE. I'm on T-Mobile in Cleveland and have pretty solid reception around here, but that seems counter-intuitive to me. I know I always got better battery life out of my GNex when I was on WiFi. But the last few days, I've left WiFi completely off and have gotten great results. This morning, I turned WiFi on when I got to work and by 10:00 my battery was down to 83% with very minimal usage (over about 2.5 hours off the charger). I turned WiFi off at that point, at right now, at about 12:30, I'm at 80% on my battery, with similar usage over the past couple hours.
Yesterday, not being connected to WiFi, I checked my battery stats before I went to bed, and with over 15 hours on the charge, and just shy of 2 hours screen-on time (it was like 1 hour 55 mins), I still had 30% battery left.
Needless to say, I've been thrilled with my battery life.
Edit: Here's a screenshot of my usage today so far. In the time between when I wrote this up and took the picture, my battery went down the 1% to 79.

I can get more in the following days if you'd like.

The more, the better. So far, your results are very well in line with gsmarena's test results, which rated Nexus 5 at 40 hrs "casual usage". Its average to below average, but may just be enough for many people.
It's plenty for me. And with my experience, its above average I think.

That looks good so far. What's your screen on time? I'm glad to hear you're happy with it!

Admittedly not much. I probably don't go over 2 hours for a day. Most of my "heavy" use comes after I get home from work, so I'll try to remember to post a shot of my battery tonight.
As I said in my earlier post though, this just blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water. Under similar usage patterns, my GNex barely made it through the day, even with staying on WiFi as much as possible. Nowhere near what I've been getting with my N5.

Hey that's great though! As long as you're happy with it. Have you ever tried making your battery life better?

Im disappointed a little with the average battery life
Do you mean the average you're getting our what you see in the forums?
