IMO, stock battery a bit sucks.
You gotta check the battery app and see what's eating up your battery and put a stop to it. Besides, there's a few tweaks you can do boost the battery life. Dumb tips of turning off WiFi, NFC and Bluetooth aside.

1. If you insist to stay stock and non-root which is here's isn't much to do IMO. Besides simple settings tweaks, you can go for ART runtime which do good on idle time. I lost 2% with WiFi during bedtime which is about 7-8 hours. Google around you can get some simple tips to save some battery.

2. And yes, if you choose to root it. NEXUSes are meant to be rooted.
-Flash custom kernel, I would recommend Franco for battery life.
-Flash custom ROMs, some provide settings to tweak your battery better. Say, Cataclysm ROM comes with Smart Radio. It auto switches your radio to 2G while sleep.
-Use Greenify + Wakelock Detector (thanks djlah for the suggestion) Some apps wake your device while sleep to run some processes which will wake up other apps (based on what it told me from wakelock detector) and that will jeopardize your phone. Use wakelock detector to identify those apps and Greenify it. Greenify is an app that hibernate apps to stop it from running in the background.

Bet you gonna hate iOS from now on :cool:

Bought from one and only monsh, COD with him just now, thanks for coming all the way to my area.

Modding time.

where is my ultra hybrid      1month+ already   

somemore ordered directly from spigen   

hehehe..i pretty much know about the phone already. I was using android before iOS, but that time I dont bother to learn everything.

my way of learning is to understand how the whole thing work first. Reading guides does help, but not much since they keep on mentioning the technical jargon that I dont understand. So, I guess Google and XDA is a pretty much reliable source for now.

I managed to root my phone, but when it comes to things after that, I'm pretty scared.

So, I think I just need more time to read and digest. This whole new experience is really awesome. I welcome myself to android community!
