Will you be upgrading or staying on your current phone?
and it begins...
already sold my N5 in preparation for this. Couldn't handle the monster size phone they put out last year.
I just keep my old nexus 5 if there is something wrong with my new nexus or i give it to someone else close who needs it
I'm still rocking my launch day(ordered) Nexus 5 with no hardware issues whatsoever. Hoping to get lucky and snag a day one device again this time.
Day 1 N5 owner!
Let the new games begin!

Same here, another day one owner ...rock 'n' rollin' til today!
Oh, hell. I got a mini heart attack when I saw "Nexus 5X Forums Officially Available!" in my feed-reader. For a few seconds, I was wondering whether Google has officially announced the phones while I was offline. Y u do this xda..!!
Anyway, I hope the new phones have good battery performance. This is my situation with N5 -
1. Keeping the radio at 2G 99% of the time.
2. Location, Sync, Mobile Data, NFC - all are always off unless I need to use some app that needs them.
3. Greenify, Amplify, PowerNap.
4. Turn the screen on as few times as possible.
And yet, the battery drains like nobody's business. WTH...!!
I wish someday I'll have a phone where I won't have to worry about keeping the "Sync" on and the phone can actually be used as a smartphone.
Only got my N5 2013 last October, but I still can't wait to jump on the N5x train.
For me.. I'll use my Nexus 5 till it gives up. Nexus 5 will remain a legend and its legacy will continue with 5X.
Day 1 user here as well...
Quite frankly my only gripe with this phone has been the average/below average battery life... Otherwise been very satisfied... Not complaining about the pics either... Think they come out quite well...
Will be interesting to see what they do with the new cameras...
i use a motox 2014 since december when i trashed my n5 (RiP)
i am satisfied so far but i can not wait to jump the nexus train gain
Day 1 owner of the N5, and looking forward to being a day 1 owner of the N5X.
The N5 has been easily the best phone I've ever owned. Honestly, if the battery life was even average at this point I'd probably put off buying a new phone until next year. The usability of the phone is still top notch.
For you day 1 N5 folks, you should probably look into replacing the battery. It's quite easy and totally worth it. I did and I finally get decent battery life like back in 2013.
I kept my N5 since launch and just grabbed it tonight to tinker. Sold my N6 looking for smaller and went with G4. Very excited to be ordering a 5X soon

Very true. Battery life became really good after putting in a new one in April. Especially after 5.1.1.
However, I sold it in prep for the new N5. Very excited.

Had the OG Nexus 5 a month after it came out, but ended up giving it to my brother April 2015 after he broke his phone. I now have the Galaxy S6, but man do I miss my Nexus 5. I'm pretty set on buying the Nexus 5X once it comes out.
I bought mine few weeks after launch. Everything is perfect but I am planning to buy a new one because of 2 reasons:
1. Battery life is terrible - a week ago I replaced it and I noticed a small increase in SOT, but nothing extreme... I used to get 2 hours SOT, now with the new battery I get somewhere between 2.5 - 3 hours SOT. I want something that will get me 5-6 SOT and I believe there is something with that amount of SOT on the market... I hope 5X or 6P will be the ones.
2. My screen is a little bit cracked. I dropped it several times, but the last time the screen cracked a tiny bit on the corner. Its unnoticeable unless you really looking, but still it bothers me....
day 1 nexus 5 user here. It's an excellent phone, until one day I slept on it and my elbow put pressure on the screen. Now there are dead spots on the screen, so I can't type "E" anymore unless I go landscape mode. Without this, I might still use the nexus 5 and skip nexus 5x because I'm cheap. That said, I really love my Nexus 5, and I can imagine the Nexus 5x will be even better.

If you've checked and there's nothing keeping the CPU or radio awake, it might be time to replace your battery. It's been two years since the Nexus 5 2013's release, many of those batteries are wearing out.
Hey all,
I'd like to get a better view on how much 6p's are affected by this issue. I really have no clue what % we're talking about. So.. Is your 6p affected by the early shutdown issue? If not, could you tell us when you've bought your phone and, if you have accubattery installed, the capacity (health) of your battery?
Thanks in advance!
Sure am, and it's died at as high as 45% and as low as 15%. Accubattery pegs the health at about 60% and I've only had the phone about 15 months. Wanted this to be the first one I kept for two years.... Not looking likely with my 2 hours of SOT.

Yeah this is really bad. Fortunately, I've got a new battery in it thanks to warranty. But now I'm really afraid to use the phone. I'm waiting on a response from Google on all this before using my phone again. I've used it after repair for a couple of days to see if the problem was fixed: it was.
Can't wait for the oneplus 5 to be released.

It infuriates me because I love the phone and don't want to buy a new one.... But I can't have something that is going to die on me. I'm pretty pissed off with the state of Google hardware in general right now. Both the 5x and 6P are bootlooping and dying for no discernible reason, the Pixel and 6P have battery issues, although the Pixel, so far at least, doesn't seem to have them nearly as widespread. I feel like my phone is a ticking time bomb and that's really, really not cool.
Plus the supply issues with the Pixel all but rule that out as a replacement anyway.
I've owned three of the last four generations of Nexus phones, and while I was elated with the 6P when I got it, that glow has faded significantly. .

Yeah that ticking timebomb feeling is really annoying. I don't even dare to use the phone now it actually works, because I'm afraid that I'll f*ck up my new battery. I'm trying to wait for an official response from Google, but it's hard. I really want to know if some software f*ckup is causing these batteries to degrade faster.
I had the issue also. I bought mine in October 2015. Accubattery was showing the battery at 60% and was shutting down at random once it got below 40%. Google sent me a refurbished phone even though it was out of warranty. So far this one hasn't shut down early and accubattery shows 95%.
I got my phone mid February (Best Buy) last year and do not have the problem. Accubattery shows my battery health at 93% (3220mah). But I also protect my battery as much as possible with when to charge and never let my phone stay plugged in when topped off either.
Never had early shutdown. Had my 6p for a few months. Accubattery shows 99%.

Does the battery life itself seem to be better as well? Part of my problem is that with the screen on I'm looking at an obscene drain. According to accubattery my average drain with screen on is 1100ma/h. Hell it dropped two percent in the time it took me to type this.

Yeah the battery life is a lot better. I was doing good to get 2 hours SOT on my old phone. Same setup on this one is getting 4 to 4.5 hours SOT. I don't recall what my average drain was before but now it's about 450 ma/h. Here is a screenshot.

I may have to give that a shot then. Buying a new one really isn't in the budget right now. Did you flash back to stock or relock the bootloader before you sent it in?
Never had early shutdown, and have had my 6P since launch.... Mostly custom AOSP roms....

I'm not sure it was necessary but I flashed back to stock and relocked bootloader. I didn't want to take any chances especially since they were replacing it out of warranty. Worst case I could have used Nexus protect either way. They tried to get me to do that when I called. I refused and once I mentioned the Reddit thread they agreed to replace. Saved me the $79.00 deductible.
Nope
:good::good:We have two in our family and neither one is affected. One was purchased Late 2015 and another early 2016. Both show over 95% capacity in Accubattery (mine is 97%) and I can run the battery down to 1%. Both are stock 7.1.1 one is unlocked and rooted, and the other has never been unlocked. Although I could not vote for each phone, it will be interesting to check poll results a few months down the road.

Google's official position is that the early shutdown problem and boot loop of death are both hardware issues. People are experiencing both problems on stock Marshmallow and Nougat as well as on custom ROMs.

Just as an update, I got my RMA last week and it has behaved flawlessly since. Accubattery is actually reporting 101% battery health, and It's taking a little getting used to having a phone that the battery doesn't die in two hours.

I haven't had an issue since I got my RMAd device, so yeah. I even have all the same apps installed and everything and I'm still getting ten hours of mixed usage. Performance is getting a little pokey but the phone is coming up two years old soooooooooooo I'm not surprised.

What is the communities take on the battery and bootloop issue? Is it inevitable that every Nexus 6P will eventually had one of these issues?
My delema is that the LG G6 is on sale for $300, plus a free Google Home at US Cellular. It's the only carrier that gets service at my house. I know the Nexus 6P is by far the more "entertaining" phone, with all the development on it. Unfortunately this deal may be too good to pass up if I'm likely to have issues with the 6P in the future.
Can you post a link to this? I don't see it for 300 bucks anywhere.

That is a really tough call tbh. The screen and camera look great, but I don't have a lot of faith in lg tbh and I would worry about a lack of development, if that is an issue for you.
Nevertheless it looks like a great phone.

Oh. It's after monthly bill credits. So would have to stick with it and service for 30 months... It's basically a contract. You leave early then you pay more than 300.

Actually the pricing stays the same no matter what installment you choose. US Cellular also states that early payoff does not incur additional fees, including the day of purchase. Only requirement is that it is activated on a post-paid line at time of purchase.
Just reporting back. I did pick it up. It is straight up $300 plus tax. They put it on an installment plan and you just pay it off right away. Also comes with a Google Home promo from LG and I got a $100 US Cellular giftcard. Still gonna keep the 6P for a month on Fi in case I don't like the LG. Can always sell it.

Let me know what you think after a couple days. It looks great but reviews on the forum made me apprehensive. I'm considering getting a new phone, and it will probably be an s8, though the g6 is a definite contender, and would save me a lot of money if I do decide to get a new one.

So far so good as far as the phone goes. Its really narrow, easy to message on. Going back to the Nexus is difficult ergonomically. The developer landscape is non-existant but it does look like the US Cellular variant probably has an unlocked bootloader. There is already a bounty on TWRP for the TMO variant. Im sure development will pick up once that gets working. Its a popular enough phone.
I've bought my used 6P 3 weeks ago. Battery life was terrible. The only issue. I was having 40-50% of my Nexus 5X life.
After putting a good battery (X-Longer model) in the 6P (last Friday), the phone recovered the original battery life and now I'm having like 25% more battery than my 5X.
So basically I have same battery life I used to have with the Z5 Compact. 4 hours and a full day are guaranteed no matter what you did (gaming....pure chrome browsing of whatever). Maybe 5 hours or 6 if you like to watch videos o too much reading.
I would only upgrade to a Pixel if I wanted a smaller phone. But now that I'm adapting to this phablet...maybe I won't upgrade it before Android P is. released, since it will get O.

It seems like these will all be dead within a couple years but only time will tell for sure. Still, I don't expect mine to last more than a few months once my warranty expires in July.

Yes but consider that accubattery was calculating my battery as 2000 mAh / 3450 mAh. And this without considering that the old battery was turning off between 10-25%
That's why in the end I've ended​ up with more than 120% increase in battery life with the new battery.

Why you think this? Accubattery is really accurate in my experience. I always used that, you can calculate the capacity manually too. And a defective battery is not going to show you more than it can actually hold so if your battery has an high health it's ok and you don't need to change the battery. Anyway the phone is yours and if you want go ahead and open it but the 6p is really difficult to open and a damage could cost you around 20 bucks for the plastic and glass panel.. And finally you could end up installing a worse battery than the one inside

Post your Battery usage here. Lets see what we get with these new devices.
Is Bad battery...
Can't say I'm very impressed so far, I switched from a snapdragon s10 plus. Stand by battery drain was never a problem on the s10. I would finish the day with at least 50% battery left. Less than 3 hours screen time and I'm at 40%. And that's running at 60 fps, 1080p. Snapdragon was so much more efficient for me.

So far, not too impressed either, getting 5.5 hours of screen on time, with no video watching or gaming. Literally bit of instagram, whatsapp, messenger, camera and spotify. This is at 120hz FHD+.
This will honestly be my my ''normal usage'' but still having removed it from charge at 9.30am and after 12 hours on 20% is a bit sad to some point, specially after those youtube videos with 6.5 hours of screen on time playing games and and filming videos and what not... Hopefully they will get a fix for it, this is UK version with the (not so lovely) Exynos...
Coming from an LG G6 lets say battery wise Im having same performance
For me 6 hours with 120hz, that literally destroys the battery, switching back to 60hz you get 1 - 2 hours more....watching youtube is no issue, but as soon as you get to any scrolling or
multitasking it all goes away.. especially with that 120hz, also it's not very efficient in standby, you can go to sleep with 100 percent and wake up with 93 or something like that..
Hopefully they'll get an update
Not awesome battery life, if I wasn't careful I need to charge twice a day
50% left, 2h33 min screen on. I disconnected charger at 12am, woke up at 7am. Lost 5% during the night with 4g on. I was playing a lot today. Screen at 120hz
It's so unbelievable bad... Damn :/
I'm glad i.ordered the Snapdragon version
This is always the case when buying Samsung flagships early. An update comes out a few months after to address the issue.
Hmm, I have to agree with you. Upon further use, I don't think stand by drain is the issue. It seems to be more app optimisation. Have to give it some time for developers to optimise their apps for this processor.

Don't get me wrong I totally agree with you. There is even speculation that exynos doesn't get the same Sony sensors for the camera. Instead we get Samsung made one's. Totally not cool for sure. I imported a snapdragon s10 last year and it was amazing for battery life profomance. But honestly, I can fully charge this phone in just over an hour. So to say that the shorter battery life is a major problem is just not true imo.

I understand, but I haven't come even close to needing to charge the phone during the day yet. I'd say I'm losing about 10 to 15% more battery then I did on the s10 so all good for now.

Yes, "usage pattern". I'm charging twice a day with the +, something that I did years back..
This is the only complaint i have so far, battery life. It is not disturbingly awful, but I usually have to charge it in the late afternoon, so I dont run out of juice in the evening (I am getting 3.5 - 4 hours of screen time). Situation is even less annoying since It charges really fast. I am running optimised battery plan, bluetooth, wifi, data on. Other than that it is a beast, I am fully enjoying android freedom over my iphone X. Battery will probably improve with updates though.
First and first full charge, 120hz all time. Let's see next days.
This should really help your screen on time note 20 ultra
7 hours should be the minimum out of the box for a very expensive flagship handset.
I have tweaked pretty much everything and still get around 5.
Emailed Samsung today for a return. Useless handset.

7 hours should be the minimum out of the box for a very expensive flagship handset.
I have tweaked pretty much everything and still get around 5.

Ever think that maybe you've got a screen time problem? If you're on your phone for 7hrs a day it's time to put the damn device down [emoji1787]

It's not per day, it's per charge. So if you're only a moderate user 7 hours ST should give you a couple of days. My phone boots up at 7am and is dead by early evening.

My phone does 2 days easy if I'm at work. Otherwise, sure I probably have to throw it on the charger around 5ish because I've been facebooking and reading the news, I'd say it's far from useless anyways. And while I'm at work in usually using the Galaxy buds to listen to my podcasts [emoji1745]

It's kind of weird how a lot of people on Exynos versions are getting seriously bad battery life.. The other day I asked my daughter to watch all of her shows and stuff on YouTube on my Note 20 Ultra and asked her not to put it on the charger for any reason because I wanted to see what kind of screen on time I could get and I'm seriously getting close to 15 hours of screen on time and I am posting pictures below so people don't think I'm full of it.. At 24 percent battery life left it said I still had a little over 4 hours left and the total screen on time was 10 hours 37 minutes so if she had stayed awake for another few hours it would have been around 14/15 hours without a single charge!
I stopped worrying about screen on time 3 devices ago. Just use your phone normally as a normal person.

That's easy for you to say but some of us have to work and we can't be near an outlet all the time and we need to know exactly how much time we have available for doing important things.. Also, people who worry about their battery life doesn't make them "abnormal" like you're low key saying (Just use your phone normally as a normal person.")... It's great and all that you don't care about your battery life but this website is for help and other things so if you're not going to offer any solutions or anything of value then maybe you shouldn't say anything!
The main issue is that most of us (some long time Note users) are buing the phone because it is considered a powerhorse phone and advertised with a battery that "lasts a day". Most of us are using it like a normal person, that is one that use the phone in his/her daily tasks from browsing to mails, chats, watching videos or shooting photos or editing documents. Because THAT'S why we bought a Note and not a...dunno iPhone for ex.
And seeing that battery isn't in fact lasting a whole day on a 1300 phone we're "a bit" disappointed (and I was extremely polite saing that)

Seems Samsung is catching some heat over it's two chipset variants... again.
They need to stop doing this two chipset crap... Samsung is more fragmented than an old lady's Vista desktop.

Nice move, pay 1300 bucks for a smartphone and don't use because you want it's ****ty battery to last...
Still, the battery drain will destroy your battery, specially on exynos version
If you're on your phone for 7hrs a day and most people average 8hrs at work (obviously you use your phone at work) that leaves you 9hrs plus an hr or 2 (because your using your phone at work a bit) left to get home, cook, eat dinner, cleanup and sleep, I'd say your wasting a lot of your life. At this point the damn batteries have gotten good enough I'd say [emoji1787]

The Exynos 20 U is far faster than my 10+ with better ram too.
My 10+ was running hotter than the 1 ton deep fryer on the USS Missouri at one point.
It will take some time but you can get it running cool.
Nominal idle current should be about an average of 150-200 ma. Otherwise something(s) is dragging it down.
Get PD MDM and proceed... you will need to develop a good level of proficiency before you see lasting results.
*Bah-ha-ha-ha*, excuse me, I meant to say fun times are ahead
One reason I refuse to migrate to Q is I put some serious time into this system to get it optimized.
This 10+ was a real wanker... sure the 20 U and Q will be "better".
