First full day with the phone begins today. We'll see how it goes.
So far the good:
Looks great, nice size, very snappy (granted its a new phone), gestures and customisability in OxygenOS.
The bad:
Internal storage - had about 10Gb free on the phone for all my apps and stuff. That'll get chewed up quickly enough I think... need an SD card.
Oxygen OS teething problems - hidden menus (those 3 dots) can only be accessed using the soft keys. Long hold on the recent apps button doesnt trigger it.
Battery? - Today will be the judge, but something tells me the battery isn't going to be amazing.
Others:
Ive gotten used to a screenshot button in my dropdown menu. Thats gone now.

Let me know how you get on with the battery, if you could post a screenshot of what was using it later on and where you are that would be great
(now you know how to screenshot again :pac:)0 -

Also just noticed if you hold down the power button an option for screenshot pops up.0 -

Battery definitely seems to be an issue alright. I'm down to 40% from 100% at 9am this morning. Done some browsing over lunch and playing podcasts via bluetooth. Other then that little use. Bit annoying, hopefully can maybe figure out some troublesome apps or settings as the days and weeks go on. It's not a MAJOR deal for me as I'm rarely away from a charger, and have chargers in car, office desk etc.
My internal storage has 7GB free after loading apps and the likes last night. I try keep my phone slim, but damn, thats not a lot of storage. Probably SD card required for me also, and I'd guess pretty much everyone will need one. Granted I'll probably hang on see when it becomes a genuine problem.
Overall I'm very happy and impressed. Tangible upgrade for me coming from the Nexus 4 where I can see and feel the difference. Really snappy and the phone itself is very comfortable and the screen is very vibrant in terms of colour. In thinking, I'd also probably say that I'll put my phone through a proper battery cycle. Let drop to 5%, charge to 100% and go through that cycle about five times before I'll really know where I stand with the battery.0 -

So I'm down to 70% in nearly 6 hours.
The solid pink line for wifi confuses me - I haven't had wifi on in those 6 hours - so you'd think that means black is when it is on, but charging hasn't been on and that is black. Makes no sense!
Something similar here. Though my signal has been pretty weak at times. The cliff in the morning is me on the train, and the mini-cliff a few hours back was lunchtime.
Wi-Fi on is probably because the wi-fi is constantly checking for connections (open networks and known networks).
Screen is taking up most the battery at 10%. As some have mentioned, adaptive brightness isnt doing anything.0 -

I'd have my WiFi switched off during the day though and rely solely on 3g/4g. So the bar should not be there!
I'll connect to WiFi when I get home and see what happens0 -

Do you have the WiFi Toggle off ?
I know there is an option in the settings that will stop the phone scanning for available WiFi Connections. You need to turn this off. Go to Settings, Wifi, 3 Dots Top Right, Advanced, Scanning always available.
I believe it's something that was implemented in Lolipop.
There's also something on your phone that keeps waking up the device. Usually an app. Go to Settings, App Permissions, and click into your apps and see what ones have keep awake turned on. Any app I don't use that often I'll always Toggle to off.
Also having your GPS off when you don't need it makes the battery last that bit longer.0
