May I know which app do you use? I tried a few but only shows the technical details/

try farebot

You don't need to force close apps to improve battery life unless that app was badly designed to begin with.

Disable the keyword detection in Google Now.

Ok I disabled keyword detection and greenified most of my apps.
But the battery drain during sleep is still a lot.

I downloaded BetterBatteryStats beta for KitKat and ran it. It said AudioMix is awake more than 95% of the time when the phone is supposed to be asleep. I googled and found other ppl saying to turn off Touch Sounds and Screen Lock sounds. I did this but it still does not work. Any other solutions?

Try booting your phone to safe mode. In safe mode, see if your phone still experiencing batt drain. If its ok,means it is cause my third party apps. If problem persist, root n install custom rom. If problem still not solve, u have a faulty hardware issue.

OK I greenify 2 apps running in the background, Power On Volume and Power Toggles and it seems Audiomix did not increase anymore. Should be one of these.

Personally I feel the camera is good and battery life also good. Previously using xperia Z, S3

Don't you find the tone is on the light side, I find the auto white balance is not detecting the background lighting, I did an experiment to switch manually, after that the color output is matching right.

I have nexus 4 and nexus 5 side by side and try taking pictures on each orger and post up on Facebook. Immediately I discovered the difference

never drain battery to 0, once a month is ok

One should always avoid to drain lithium ion battery to too low. Lithium battery has an internal protection circuitry, somehow once dropped below certain threshold, the protection circuit will be in locked state that disallowed charging to happen, and only unconventional charging method could be used to reset the circuit to allow charging, unfortunately most charging circuit used on products like phone will assume this as bad battery.

I did successfully revive a few however one needs to have the proper knowledge to handle lithium ion battery otherwise you may get hurt

1st charge, managed to achieve 5 hours SOT.

Greenified Facebook, but surprisingly DBS was sucking most of my battery trying to look for my location every minute. C'mon DBS....

Hi,

Is Nexus 5 able to import the backup file of xperia z?

I'm considering nexus 5 but it's the transferring of past content from xperia z to nexus 5 that i am concerned about.

What kind of back up file? Are you using any app to backup your data? I used titanium backup, and it works. Whatsapp backups also work, but you have to transfer these files via USB first
