Guys, I just got my Nexus 5 last night. Always been an iPhone user, so this is new to me.
First up, hardware. I have the wobbly power button for sure, volume rocker wobbles slightly too. This does dampen the premium feel of the ceramic buttons, and is kinda a bummer, but one day on I don't think it matters anymore. Certainly nothing something I would RMA for. Those are the kind of people who will cause the next Nexus 5 to increase in price. My girlfriend's unit also has the same wobbly buttons, so it's gotta be a widespread thing. Other than that I didn't notice anything wrong, not sure if my screen has light bleed but I don't notice anything so it's all good to me. Viewing angle is bad from the corners, but again not a biggie. Overall the screen looks fabulous.
Now I've heard about the battery life of the Nexus 5, but I think mine's performing even worse. Last night I charged the phone up to 95% and unplugged it. It was connected to wifi with mobile data turned off. When I woke up in the middle of the night (2.5 hours later), it had dropped 13%. I've been hearing how good the battery is when idle, and this drop looks really bad. I charged it to 100% at 9am, by 9pm I had 35% left, with only about 1.5 hours of screen on time. Again, looks bad. Any idea what may be causing this? I'm new to Android, so all the sifus out there, point me in the right direction? I'm on stock everything. Didn't change anything.
Some stuff I noticed:-
- One thing I observed is that it fetches my emails instantly. How do I turn this off? Does this eat up a lot of battery?
- Is there a on-screen volume adjuster? I listen to music using my phone and earphones and the physical volume buttons aren't precise. Sometimes its too soft and one step up its too loud. I miss the on-screen volume adjuster on my iPhone. Any other music app to recommend?
- For Chrome, is there a way to put the back and forward buttons on the main browser instead?
Congrats on Nexus owner. Mine's power button and volume rocker also woobly. For battery life issue, most likely was due to some apps keeping your phone from deep sleep thus the fast drain. You may check on which app/service that's draining your batt from Setting > Battery
