I've currently got an SGS3, my mither has a Nexus 4 and i'm fairly sure i'll be on the order list for October for the N5.

The only thing i'd REALLY want in the phone would be a removable battery!!

So I'm getting horrendous battery life and the battery stats were saying it was android OS causing it ....

I've run in safe mode all day (third party apps are blocked) and my battery life had been superb .... so it's a 3rd party app causing it... So I have uninstalled some of my apps and I will try and narrow it down

No 3rd party as in apps not created by google themselves .... all my apps are from the playstore

I wonder if I can get an old version or a different app...

Will post a battery usage trend later ... I downloaded the app ... Logged in and that was it ... Checked timeline a couple of times and Android OS was kept awake ... Uninstalled and the battery usage trend has tailed off again

Even after I uninstalled it it continued to drain .... So I've gone back to a factory fresh model

Fresh phone and I was getting wake lock 100% of the time ... From Google search.

Battery useage was Still minimal but the cpu was awake all the time and being attributed to Google search

Quick Google said this was linked with Google now so switched it off and I'm back to hardly any CPU usage and less than 1-2% in 2 hours

Gonna start installing my apps as I need them and monitor one by one rather than reinstalling them all at once and having no idea what the hell is going on

Gonna install a much better batter monitor to ...

I know the camera app was a known battery drain.... But what a difference!

Now on hour 18 and still over 35%
With my usage I've usually topped up the charge and still on the bones of my butt by now!
