Any SIII users who jumped to Nexus 5 can please comment on the battery life vs SIII please?

I know it contradicts with what I said before, but nevermind lah! tongue.gif
*
I jump from S3 > iPhone 5 > N5

N5 definitely the best of all. Those reviews are inaccurate for battery life imho, I think they are trying to squeeze the hell out of the battery.
I'm using the Sunglobal 3,000 mAh for my S3, but it doesn't seems to work like a 3,000 mAh battery. Maybe a 10% increment compare to the old one. Considering the old one, already 1 year old, the battery should lose some of its charges. Or maybe cyanogenmod is draining the juice.
iPhone is another terrible story, ITS JUST BAD.
Finally, I found redemption here in N5. Not super great, but good enough to last me a good working day.

Bro. Honestly. I don't find any battery saving using this kernel. Any tips? I follow all the recommended option during installation and activate s2lock and t2unlock only.

And where you find 0.17. I can't seems to find it.

since android 4.3, many apps leverage google location service. which is very drain battery. android 4.4, implement location and power saving control but still not enough. below are few tips:

1. UV control, you may refer the setting table post before.
2. detect high wakelock service or app, betterbatterystat, wakelock detector, etc... any your prefer app can help
3. then greenify the apps
4. android 4.4.2, google hide AppOps. no problem, you sure know there is alternative to get it. control the permission, specially Google Play Store which is high drain battery service, and also your finding from No.2
5. power profile or tasker can help further or automate the connectivity control. set sleeping, working time differently. else can try GO Power Control, just follow the optimization guideline.
6. set min and max CPU speed, set max speed for screen off, all this can do in trickster too.
7. lastly, minimal the numbers of boot apps. just like what we do msconfig in PC. many apps can help on this.

optional: custom rom, cataclysm offer smart radio function. I found it's quite useful. screen off running 2G, enough speed for my whatsapp. resume LTE when screen on automatically.

enjoy tuning  icon_rolleyes.gif

p/s: there is someone post in ElementalX xda thread, managed to archive 10 hours SOT via this kernel. (I shared this before also in V2). Somehow, my best record only 7 hours SOT. But I found out he set Airplane mode during sleeping time, maybe I can do this too to get 10 hours SOT.
*
Really grateful for the writeup bro! But need some time to digest? I basically greenify every app (Including System App) I'm not using besides those requires Push like Whatsapp etc. Is that good? But I think either the kernel or ROM is draining the battery. I seems to get better battery during stock ROM and stock kernel and unroofed which means no greenify yet. I think I'll try out Franco and see how it goes.

hehhe... I need to sumarrize the tips further  biggrin.gif  yes, stock kernel are always good, just because we demand for more features, or OC. and yes, franco is another juice saving enhance, very good try.

BTW. About greenify. Which should I refers for best reference? As in Wakelock Duration, triggers or CPU wakelock?

Just got my phone delivered, D821 311 model  biggrin.gif

- Naked without SP and casing, feels good in hand but guess I need to get casing soon. Still looking for a minimal bumper case that doesn't cover the back.
- Screen looks gorgeous coming from a Gnex. Spotted one tiny dead pixel, apart from that no issues with screen.
- Icons are a bit too big, waste of space. Need to re-download Nova launcher or possibly a rom to fix this.

Noob question, I'm a postpaid Maxis customer - LTE was available without any signup or activation required. Will there be any additional charges?
*
Maxis user as well. I've been using a LTE-enabled SIM for more than 2 months, no extra charges so far.

You might wanna read this for a quick guide.
http://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/a...time-in-kit-kat

IMO, N5 already have top-notch hardware and Kitkat's software optimizations to create smooth user experience. ART's improvements may be more noticeable on lower-end devices. As for battery life, I do see slight improvements during idle mode.

neo hybrid vs slim armor..what are the pros and cons? i heard one has a more sensitive power button which couald cause problems?
*
I would say neo hybrid is Better looking (but that's personal), slimmer, sleeker (more slippery) but more expensive.

Slim armor cheaper but feels more rugged. But have button manufacturing fault for the power button. The power button will have your phone goes into a reboot-loop.

Looking for some minimalist cases for my incoming Nexus 5. So far the most common mentions are for Ringke and Nillkin? But both look rather underwhelming. In my quest for something just a bit more striking I came across this thread from the xda forums.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289

The quicksand covers looks pretty amazing. And it's only $0.99. I think I'm gonna get a few.

Whilst I dont think it's gonna offer serious protection, I'm guessing it would be as good as something like the Ringke Slim case, right?

Found a seller that ships to Malaysia free too.
