go into the quicktoggles and hit where it shows your cellular signals, hit it so that there is a x over it.

or just disable it in the settings.

As I explained in my first post, if I disable Mobile data I cannot use mms, I also tried setting my data limit to zero but this also disables mms

custom ROMs have a battery saving feature that is called "smart radio" which basically means if you aren't using browsers and stuff at the moment, it'll switch to a lower cat connection such as 2G to save battery. 

That is an extreme solution, you could also use Snapdragon battery guru to help, but since you have a nexus line, they are so easy to customize your experience, I wouldn't know why you don't want a custom ROM.

then go with the battery guru, but I'd recommend at least a custom kernel since the nexus 5 is basically known for having a potato battery.

Here's the best kernel that would helps the MOST with battery life on your phone, if you do decide to root.
