By WhatsApp on CM I'm assuming you mean a different ROM and not from within Sailfish since that's not stable yet. You can switch between them but you would have to re-verify yourself every time you switch between CM and Sailfish and since you're not using the official WhatsApp app on Sailfish you won't be able to move your conversation back up over, as far as I know.

I've used the psutils trick for a while but don't see much difference in battery life.
I've noticed that disabling dynamic portret or landscape mode gains 2 % cpu ( from ± 5,5 to 3,5% for sensors.qcom and sensorsfw)
I'l try what dissabling other sensors gives

(about sensors bug)

Just enabled this, pretty cool. How does it work exactly? Do the sensors detect the phone being flipped upside-down and turn the screen on in low power mode?

How much effect do you think this has on battery life?

Thank you a lot m4r0v3r! I sometimes need to work from a laptop going through a mobile, if I can cable that is fine, I did it on the N900. I am about at the point of getting a Nexus 5 and running Sailfish on it.

I have a few more questions, sorry for asking so many and thank you for your helpful answers so far!

1) is 4g working for anyone? I'm not sure I've seen the phone using 4g once since I got it.

2) is there a way to make settings like BT on/off persistent across reboots? I noticed that even if it's on normally, I have to manually re-enable it after rebooting (annoying if you have a watch or something you want to pair with). This doesn't happen on the jolla.

3) is it possible to use the mer-tools repo? I tried to enable it like this:

Code:
devel-su
ssu ar mer-tools
pkcon refresh
but I get this message

Fatal error: Authentication failed (is SSU set up correctly?)
Are there extra steps for N5?

AFAIK, it works only with the proximity sensor. Personaly, I don't worry with battery like, having LPM is much more important to me. Currently, my N5 battery lasts for about 36 hours, but I don't have any data contract, which helps a bit.
