Yes, it can take up to 24 hours.

Black.
White doesn't have the "silk" back, and it also has glossy sides instead of matte. Plus white will get visibly dirtier over time.
I love the black myself.

I would say white. This is coming from someone who typically never goes for anything but black.
friend has one...loves most of it...hates battery life.
It seems the iphone 5 has much better management when off. But still something must be up with his.
I have a GS3 with AOKP based ROM and his battery was getting shredded compared with mine (standby, 4G coverage, couple hour show).
Any ideas? Bug or something?
Seemed really nice to me, otherwise.

Battery life is definitely weird. First night with my phone, battery dropped from 100% to 95% over night, which is what I expect. Last night it dropped from 100% to 74% over night, but looking at my battery stats didn't show any apps running out of control. Rebooting the phone slowed down the battery drain.

Hopefully 4.4.1 comes soon and fixes the battery inconsistency and the camera focus times.

I got white, because my last two phones were black.
So what cases are you guys getting?
People are saying the Spigen ultrafit is too sharp on the bottom which is hurting the pinky. The Caseology ones looks good, but don't know how thick it is. Reviews for Ringke are saying it's slippery which is the reason I'm getting one in the first place.

Definitely a bug. Phone idles like a champ for me.

Just got an email from Spigen via Amazon regarding a recall for the Nexus 5 screen protectors? Anyone else get that? I haven't had a problem with mine, but based on this topic it seems to be legit. Contact address is redacted though.
Will probably get a replacement rather than a refund despite not having issues, mostly because I could have done better applying it. Dust got stuck to the screen protector the moment I took the back off.
By the way, I have to say the glas.t looks and feels fantastic. I've never used a screen protector I actually liked on any device, but this is finally an exception to the rule.

Remember when people said 2300 mah was enough and told me not to worry? How Google somehow had some magic pixie dust battery? Yeah, I told you so. No matter what software tricks you thought existed, 3000 > 2300. I've yet to see one review praise the battery life. You are not able to just use the phone without being conscious of battery life.
I bought an external battery charger for when I'm traveling on holiday.

If it lasts as long as my n4 I'm happy. Still better than most. Today is the first real test.
So far 5hr 4min. 50 min screen time. 81% left. Blue tooth enabled also.
Me too, loving the battery life. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid Bionic, that, for whatever reason, was the worst battery hog ever for the past year or so. It was fucking terrible. The Nexus 5 is pure bliss so far, battery wise.
I didn't realize that improving battery life significantly over last years model was such a travesty.
Just activated Straight Talk (AT&T sim) and put my phone through a full charge. The result:
Screen on time was around 3.5 hours, and I spent much of last night and today off wifi. I know people are saying the battery life is super inconsistent, but so far this is far better than my Verizon Galaxy Nexus ever hoped to be. Hoping for similar results over the next week.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
I'm coming from a Moto Atrix that had a 1930mah battery running tegra 2... That thing was a battery hog and gave me screen on time of about 1.5hours before drained. No gaming or anything, just having the screen on. 25-40% battery drain on standby overnight. Normal use would get me 6 hours tops.
Having to charge it twice a day was shit. And this was when it was new, just before I replaced it with the Nexus 5 you could cut all of the times in half. That thing was an expensive POS.
On average since I've gotten the Nexus 5, I'm getting 12 - 16 hours on a charge. Around 3 - 4 hours of screen on time (~20% brightness), LTE only. That get's me through the day no problem. I only lose 5 - 10% on standby overnight.
Yeah 3000 > 2300, but the battery life is far from bad on the Nexus 5, I get a full day and that's all I need. It's also $300 cheaper than phones with a 3000mah battery. I'll gladly toss the phone on a charger before bed every night than pay an extra $300 for a few more hours of use.

No, I use mine pretty care-free.
Also, you can probably count on Anandtech's review praising the battery, considering their benchmarks leaked and show the Nexus 5 does very, very well.
Yes, 3000 > 2300, but...
That 700mAh only gets you an hour more battery life. Zzz.

Aaron from Phonedog says it doesn't last him all day.
still waiting on Anandtech and GSMArena full range battery tests to see where it stands.

Finally got mine working with Straight Talk, bye bye Verizon. Paying 60 bucks less a month will more than make up for the prince of the phone(plus selling my s4).
Comparing both phones, the Nexus 5 does everything faster, Im surprised.

Anandtech's battery test benchmarks leaked.
Nexus 5:
Wifi Browsing: 10.83
2g/3g browsing: 6.436
4g lte browsing: 6.929
They edited the leak to remove the N5 from the lineup, but you can just take the numbers above and compare them below.
WiFi: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SmartPhone13/514
2G/3G: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SmartPhone13/786
LTE: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SmartPhone13/516
Anand confirming it was a legit leak: http://i.imgur.com/6b3bSFz.png
The iPhone 5S in the top with like a 1600mAh battery.
There are two issues at play. The first is that the phone is like a new toy, so most users are playing with it more than they usually do. The second is that the Nexus 5 is so good that you'd want it to last forever
A few more hundreds of mAh would have been not a bad decision.
It also has a significantly smaller and lower resolution screen. The screen is probably the biggest power draw when it comes to Web browsing.

With it's small screen and lower resolution.

So I have a white nexus 4 in perfect condition. Is there any reason for me to upgrade?
I didn't realize the lack of an MMS app on the phone until I searched for it. I've always used GOSMS for my texting.
The mic for video recording is pretty damn good.

I'm using it as my main text app. I've been able to send and receive group messages so it gets the job done.

Saw one of these today in CarphoneWarehouse. Really impressed by it. Simple design but really nice and I really liked the texture on the back.
I have finished the second cycle battery charge / use, about to start the third. Both of the times I finished at 17% of battery with 14 hours of use, pretty bad. Any suggestion about how to get it better?
In particular, in location service what did you set and what do you suggest to set? Now I have like high precision (or what is called) which use wi-fi and GPS, someone suggest to use only GPS, but I would like to hear your suggestion.

How much screen time? That will judge how good or bad this is.
Around 3 hours and half
That seems odd. I'm currently sitting at 3.5 hours screen time with 1d 12hrs total battery time, 10% remaining.
Yeah...I know :-(
Anyway any particular advice? And what about the location setting of my previous post?

You're using ART, right? Maybe that helps your battery?
Vyse The Legend

Those results were before I switched to ART.
So far, AndroidPolice seems to think ART might hurt standby time. I haven't seen that happen yet.
Straight Talk or any AT&T MVNO. T-Mobile if they have service in your area and you don't ever leave.
I'm trying to sell my S4 and have a Nexus 5 on the way; there's one vote.

I'm on T-mobile and I have no service 95% on my N5 of the time.
I'm using a SIM card that was on my N4 and I had no troubles with service on that phone. Help please!
