Hello just a quick poll for Nexus 4 users. I've held off installing 5.0.1 as from scanning the threads it sounds too buggy. But thought I would canvas your opinions as to whether the problems are major or minor.
Keep in mind battery life is particularly important as I feel my battery drains too quickly as it is already.
I recently upgraded my Nexus 4 to 5.0.1 and all it good. Battery life seems fine.

No problems with the battery here on 5.0.1.....In fact no problems at all, and my phone is now much faster and smoother. Not to say there are not issues, just that I have not experienced any of them.
I miss KK but i had to get over myself and get Lollipop. I still think Holo was better than Material Design, but all apps are working better on LP..........batt life is same
Wait for lollipop 5.1, stay on kitkat for now is my advice

Just wanted to get some peoples opinions on battery life between the two. After owning the device for 4 days it seems that when I am on AOSP the battery life is somewhat worse but it may just be in my head so I wanted to know what you guys have found.

I would say it will be better on a stock de-bloated rom until someone cracks hardware acceleration in AOSP. I flashed AOKP noticed the CPU loads were almost always about 1.0 higher then the stock rom and I would imagine this is because the CPU is doing all of the canvas drawing.
Actually I´m just curious... I have heard from friends and I have read it here and on other forums that the official upgrade to S5 is a big failure. Many complaints of heating problems, lagging and poor battery stamina. I made the official upgrade earlier this week and after the first boot I noticed some minor heating and some lagging. But just after a couple of minutes the phone settled and after that I find the phone much much better than before the upgrade.
How is it that it´s so different from phone to phone? One persons S5 gets so bad and another persons S5 gets so much better?
Personally I have about 20% better battery time, a much smoother runtime in all my apps and absolutely no heating problem. Lollipop turned out to be just the boost it needed for me to hold on to it...
My S5 900F is a "no contract"-phone with the "Nordic Countries" firmware..
Any thoughts?
Best regards
Some people can't accept changes. don't listen to them. 5.0 functions just great. The loud minority is always there to cry and complain.
The answer lies in the middle; not that bad but needs serious polishing; I think we'll see many updates for lollipop for S5.
yup, it works great on my phone. I've been using it since the beginning of december, and I've never had any heating/battery/lag problems at all. Usually I can even run my phone for 2 days without charging and a good 5-6 hours screen on time.
I am very happy with lollipop. It works without lags and I haven't had no problems with it. All works great and the only problem I had was at the beginning, when I installed it, cause it heat but I think was caused cause all was installing. After that my battery is friendly and lasts more than kk.
Very recommendable

Happy with Lollipop, but wish I'd researched about root before updating
Battery life is poor, but other than root and battery, it's great
Hi Guys, i want to ask few questions.
Im still on android 4.4.2 and want to update to 5.0.
But before that i want to ask if The battery life and perfomance is better.
Specially the battery life.. I will factory reset it so it will be fresh.
And whats new in it.
Thanks
You should do a factory reset.
Battery life: Much much better, technically 25% or so. I was easily getting 6 hours screen on with LP.
Performance: No, not better. I mean maybe in some parts, but not everywhere. Get one thing straight, LP 5.0 is an unfinished business of Google, and there are plenty of apps and games which are not really compatible and will lag, so keep that in mind.
By the way, a question should go to Q&A section mate.

Have a read at this thread , it may answer all the questions you have regarding Lollipop.
i was on LP and i downgraded back to 4.4.2
1st, it is so bright & i don't like the general aspect, regarding battery life, it is good but only when on standby mode, otherwise i see no difference between KK & LP, to be honest, i am still on KK because of galaxy S5 stock ROM by @JAMAL 2367, it is really 0 mistake ROM!!
hello,
i've seen this video about comparison of battery life test between KK and LP for the lg G2,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_3XWEzfic
as i saw, there is a big difference between KK & LP, is that really true ? because as i've seen on some articles, people complaint about battery life drain on LP
so what's your result after using LP on G2, does the battery drain faster ? or it really long lasts as the video shown ?!

My dude, that hype about lollipop having bad battery life is true, but partially. The thing is, I call them "stupid" users who update their android without wiping and then have problems and complain, shout and all the stuff blaming LG for that. You will get the same battery life you get with kitkat IF you clean flash! Factory reset/wipe and then flash it for fresh start and the battery life will be as good, if not better, because I think lollipop manages GPU better so when watching youtube, you get even less battery drain compared to kitkat. I'm not sure tho, but you can not be worried about the battery life on lollipop!
There was definitely a big battery life drop between stock KK and stock/AOSP LP.
I installed and paid for the full version of servicely - which displays which apps are waking up your wakelock and lets you disable them when the display is off.
I have never updated my phone since i first got it. Most of my previous android phones have had battery issues once i updated them. I was curious how anyone with the same phones battery life compares with the latest update? I have the exynos model.
You should update mate
Battery Life, Performance everything is stellar on oreo/nougat
Get 7/8 hrs battery life out off my own handheld
Pretty strong benchmark as well
The other drawback with marshmallow is they've stopped development on it so feature amd efficiency-wise you're also limited

Sorry about the late reply mate
XDA never notifies me of this **** ?
If you're having issues with battery try installing the Notorious or Superstock Kernels, those are the most efficient at battery saving. You won't be disappointed I promise You!
