You experiencing any battery drain from mobille standby? Here's what my usage looks like

Terrible on my side. Gonna see what happens and might reflash again
Attach a screenshot of your signal quality. Mobile standby has always been a a battery drain for me. But that's because I have terrible signal at my house.

I noticed that there are still a few bugs, it's expected though since it is a major upgrade. I have to say I am loving the performance increase and battery life.

Does anyone else experience problems with adaptive brightness? I can't remember having that problem on the Dev preview. It looks like it is not working at all, I have it switched off and manually change the brightness. Switching it off, fiddling with the brightness and then switching it on again sometimes works, but only for a while.

If it is worth anything, I flashed the factory image and I am currently using stock recovery and bootloader and it's not rooted.

I have the 32gb model still have all my storage available after the flash, I noticed some people complaining about only having 16gb after flashing. That is not a 'new' issue with Lollipop. Here is how to fix it: http://www.droidviews.com/your-32gb-nexus-5-now-shows-only-16gb-here-is-how-to-fix-it/

lolipop is good,, few bugs yes.hope they fix it soon

1. battery drain seems higher - i switched to 2g .and its much better.could be the signal in my area
2. the 16gb issue is easily fixed by reset factory settings
3. having bad headsup issues. it stops working and only allows the notification to be swiped away - clearing it.
cant even answer a call
4.missing the stock gallery but as someone said above. quickpic is a good replacement
5. as they say silent mode is gone..lets hope google bring it back soon
6. before we could long presss in the quick settings toggles to go to that specific settings.that doesnt work now.. bit irritating but nothing serious.
7. happy to see the torch toggle in quick settings
8. still no reboot menu? and no option for airplane mode there as well

Under the Wifi and Bluetooth quick settings icons, if you click on the labels it brings up the settings for two.

For me the battery is much better, I used to get just under 3 hours of screen-on time and now I usually get close to 4 hours. This is with moderate use. Wifi and bluetooth always on.

Silent mode can be accessed by pressing one of the volume rocker buttons, and then pressing on the bell icon next to the volume bar. It's a bit of a hassle and I would have liked it on the quick toggles or even better the power menu as it was on KitKat.

The torch is nice, but I picked up a bug with mine. If the screen locked (time-out) the torch went off, and I could not switch it back on again. I had to restart the phone entirely.

im not sure abt the silent mode you talk abt. it still vibrates... im talking abt silent without the vibrate
theres the none mode - but that stops alarms from being allowed as well

glad you getting better battery
once i put it on 2g only - im getting better - abt 3.5hrs SOT
on 3g/ 4g - was less than 3 hrs

Sorry for that misunderstanding, I usually use the "silent with vibrate" so that works for me. I will prefer to have the toggles back on the power menu as with KitKat.

You could use the priority mode and switch it off for everything else. Alarms are always priority notifications.
