I can't deal with the nexus 5 battery life anymore...

[Closingracer]

Gee, you don't say.


Uh huh















So many magic phones. Google must have leprechauns working for them 24/7.

I am starting to think your a Google and or LG shill


You forget to mention of the plenty of other people complaining about battery life conveniently

 

[JeffDenver]

If people who aren't complaining, how are you able to figure a quantity of satisfied users with the nexus 5 battery?

Because people are a lot more likely to post about it if they are complaining. If things are working as expected, they are less likely to post about it.

I don't see people making threads about how awesome the nexus 5 battery is.

That doesn't mean it sucks. "Decent" and "good enough" are not synonyms for "awful".

The biggest complaint about the iPhone from iPhone users is battery life. Think about that.

A few people are happy with the battery life... Most aren't.

Who determined that most arn't? Where are you guys getting this? It sounds like an assumption.

Yeah, lets completely ignore all the actual evidence I posted and start with the name calling. This is right above your post:

Battery life on the N5 is decent enough. Just not as stellar as the flagships with those 3000+ MaH batteries. Still decent enough, and nothing to make a big deal complaining about

Actual evidence? Benchmarks ARE NOT evidence..... Guess we should use quadrant standard as evidence?


Multiple reviews have stated the battery life isn't seller and this title even says so

 

[JeffDenver]

Also go read technobuffalo review to name 1

Here is Engadget's:

LG Nexus 5 review - Engadget

Note that they show actual user reviews. Average is 7.3 out of 10 for battery. Thats from 133 Nexus 5 users (as of this writing).

Engadget even gives battery life a 7.1

I bought a Samsung note 3 because of its bigger battery and until issues recently I got 5-6 hours of screen time before 30%

That doesn't explain how you are quantifying the amount of people satisfied vs those who are not.

Its not an assumption. Read the reviews. Check this forum. There are plenty of examples.

You mean these reviews?

Also under the hood you'll find a 2,300 non-removable battery which we'll be returning to later in this review. At first glance, this battery does not seem to be doing better than any other machine in this class of smartphone, but it's certainly not terrible. - Nexus 5 Review - SlashGear

Not terrible, but not great. Light use during another day indicated the battery should last for two days before needing a recharge if you don’t use it a lot. - Nexus 5 Review: This $350 Android Phone Could Save You Money (4/5)(Updated) | Digital Trends Reviews

No one is praising Nexus battery life. It's average. Not awful...average. If you want great battery life, you should not have bought a Nexus. If you have bad battery life on your Nexus 5, that is not normal.

I consider what they consider "average" terrible.....

I have had around 5-10% after work

 

[JeffDenver]

How about this? Actual user reviews specifically about battery life:

LG Nexus 5 review - Engadget

As of right now, thats 133 people. Now, how are YOU quantifying the opposite? How are you determining that most users get bad battery life?

Its not an assumption. Read the reviews.

I did read them...average was 7.3 out of 10. Thats well above 5.

 

[JeffDenver]

I consider what they consider "average" terrible.....

Then you should not have bought a Nexus 5. Who told you that a nexus 5 has above average battery life?

Battery life ironically wasn't the deal breaker.... I had it on AT&T and was fine... When 8 went to T-mobile no service so sold the crap.




Either way "average" isn't good specially when it has no skins or anything on top of Android. LG should of added a bigger battery then a 2300 mah

Oohhh...so it was fine on AT&T?

Well, then how can you say it is the phone? Your own statement, at best, makes it a carrier issue.

I agree actually. I consider it a flaw that google did not include a removable battery, and a flaw that they did not include a larger capacity battery considering that it is not removable.

But you are basically saying there is no average...there is only "really bad" and really good". I disagree with that.

Even you thought it was acceptable on AT&T.

No I never had a problem big enough with the battery that I would sell it.... I just carried a battery pack. I sold it because if no wifi calling with t-mobile. I prefer bigger battery's and think the nexus 5 is horrible but wouldn't stop me from buying it again.... I prefer Samsung and the g3 because of the removable back so I can carry multiple batteries

Ok, so lets ignore the 133 reviews and focus on the dozen or so people who complained on the Android Central forums.

We definitely agree that the nexus 5 battery is not big enough. I don't agree that it is bad, but I do agree it could have and should have been better.

I also have an external battery. I don't need to use it day to day though. It is for trips and vacations mostly.

Yeah because 133 reviews speaks for he entire nexus owning population...

Or at least a larger portion of it than 12 reviewers, don't you think?
