My usage:

1) Facebook
2) Clash of Clan
3) Browsing using Opera
4) viewing instagram
5) pick up 3/4 call in office hour.


Unplugged at 6.30am. and drive to office for 20min. arrive at office, the battery still indicate 100%. after 1 hour just lost 1%.With my nexus4, after driving for 20min, i lost 2% of battery.

In lunch hour, with nexus4 i already lost 50%. Nexus is far more better, losing 20% of battery. Can see the significant different between nexus 5 and nexus 4.

at the of the day, my nexus 5 still indicate 50% of battery left. if nexus4, only 20% left. i'm using stock kernel for both nexus.
*
Other than above your usage almost similar to mine, but your Nexus 4 battery dropping almost 99% identical to mine... at the end of the day left 20% battery as well or even worst. sweat.gif Somemore, I even Greenify my apps like, Facebook/Foursquare/Instagram and some other often push notification apps as well. sweat.gif

Depend on what app u install in your phone. also monitor the network coverage in your area, the network also effect your battery life.
Nexus4 drain quiet fast dowh especially when browsing. Nexus4 easily can lost 2%-3% battery drop for 5minute browsing. It's different with Nexus5, just lost 1%. Forgot to mention, in office, my coverage is LTE. So u can see the battery performance of Nexus5 compare to Nexus4 just limit to 3G.
*
Nexus 4 simply reboot lose 2%-4%. Browsing 5min lose 1-3%. Nexus 4 is great phone but the battery life for me is just MEH... sleep.gif
Now only rely on CustomKernel to extend SOT from 2hours to 3hours or 3.5hours

Its safe to use a higher amp on the nexus 5.. i dont want to cause an issues but i do miss how fast my S4 used to charge using its 2.0 amp adapter.
*
I dont see any problem here. As long dont use Chap Ayam brand one then okay.. any OEM Samsung brand should work alright.
Don't listen too much legendary myth on the internet that people telling you will explode or the battery turn fat. 1 year only got 2-3 case around the world.

Ordered a Diztronic matte black case directly from their website. Anyone using one? It looked good on my friends N4. Hoping nexus 5 one is also similar. Hopefully it doesn't get lost in shipping. hmm.gif

Hi all, wanna ask when I hold the Home button, there is a circle with Google shortcut coming out, can I add other apps shortcuts to that circle ?
*
Can add/replace up to 3-5 button in CustomRom for the GoogleNow shortcut. (we called that Navigation Ring)

Or try this: Home Button Launcher (Google Now Replacement) which you can use in Stock

Or iOS alike thing check this out: Dockat (useful and underated apps)

Good to know that Nexus 5 enabled OTG by default, unlike Nexus 4 need to flash certain kernel to enable it. Gonna upgrade my Nexus 4 to 5 once reach Malaysia market to find out more about the price.

output is only 1A if you're using a 2A adapter which is not included in the package so either you're using your own 2A adapter or if you are using nexus 4 adapter then you are just getting .5A output instead of 1A.

Thanks for clarify that. Using my own OEM Samsung Note 2 Charger, output is 2A. biggrin.gif No wonder using USB from my PC so freaking slow. sweat.gif

yes it will get hotter and i would suggest not to use more than 2A input or use more than what is stated on the wireless pad itself as it might melt then lol.

You are right about the low grade china chargers too (y) but I went for high grade one as I want to use it for a longer period of time and i want my charger to have a better built quality so that if it accidentally falls, it doesn't break apart easily. Also I have experienced low grade material breaking by itself with normal use lol. Also the magnet in the latest nexus wireless charger can be handy with future devices (y).

And yes i didn't want to disturb any other adapter in my house to it's good that the nexus wireless charger comes with its own adapter. No hassle of adapter/cable pulling and inserting. (y)

I didn't know that there are adapter have more than 2A output blink.gif Most of retailer/online selling mostly selling at 2A output. Even the Note 3 Charger using USB 3.0 tech also is 2A output.

It's just a high quality tpu case. covers all corners and provides sufficient protection. Whether it survives a drop test is totally up to your luck. Mine hasn't been delivered yet. When it does, I'll post some photos here.

I been using Diztronic Case for my Nexus 4, very satisfied with its quality and I drop couple times on my Nexus 4, no break glass whatever so on. So grab another one for Nexus 5 as well. nod.gif
