Hi did anyone experiance this kind of battery consumption? 3days 14hours and 45min and still have like 7%?
Not personally, I use my phone too much to get that kind of life out of it. Based on what I know about the drain when it's screen off and sleeping, though, I think it's well within the realm of possibility with light use.
I get like 24 hours out of mine... with some light-moderate use... used to be better when I bought it but then after installing some apps it just starts degrading a bit I guess
Well, rechargable batteries do degrade over time, and the more apps you have on a device, generally the less time it will last on battery, partially because those that run in the background consume more system resources and partially because those that update data in the background will keep your phone "awake" more of the time.
If I wasn't using my phone and just let it idle (sync on, airplane mode off) I'd get like 12 days of battery life. That's what I like about the NxS, unlike other smartphones it does actually last longer when not used.
hi
i am getting around 10 to 12 hours. wifi always on. mostly watching youtube videos. netbrwosing. gaming.
2g phone calling
still i think i am getting reasonably good back up
Disabling wifi,gps,bluetooth and reducing screen brightness will improve battery life.

So will removing the battery and placing it next to the phone.
My wife and I both have the Nexus both with battery issues never charging to full 100% always get 95% max. New phones. Battery usually lasted 10 to 12hrs

That's no issue, but working as intended.
Other phones are using the same technique, but they are hiding it by showing the 100% the phone never reached, that's why they drop to 95-97%ish right after unplugging and from there drain normally.
I experienced battery drowning after using app's like maps or latitude. I had to kill them manually, now I'm cleaning the phones memory regularly. That safes a lot of battery life for me on the one hand, but on the other hand loading app's isn't as fast as before.
It's the classical trade-off between battery life an usability. And 10-12 hours are normal for me if I'm using my phone a lot.

Just read about it searching. It's a safety setting. Surprised none of the galaxy s phones had this on. I had epic4g before.

Well, depends on the manuf. if they want to "hide" it or not, they could also set 95% capacity as "100%" displayed. All batteries got a safety feature of some kind
20 hours of hardcore use here

same here.
never rooted or installed a custom rom.
in 2g idle it lasts ~14days
9 to 13 hours ,was looking at getting maybe better battery but dont think theres one
So 95% is the new 100% because my phone won't charge to 100%. It just stops at 95%.

I did not know that was built into the battery thought it was the phone that controlled that. Thanks for info. I'll see what these ebay batteries I purchased for $10 from china do. Should be getting them soon.

You'll get a lot of replies from people saying they are delighted that with their battery life and claim that something is wrong with you.
From my experience with the Galaxy Nexus, I know that battery life with Android varies all over the place depending on how you use the phone and what apps you install. Install the wrong apps or get file corruption--that you can't pin down--the battery will drain just sitting there unused.
if you intend to keep the phone, I suggest getting a 12000mAH external power pack. Thanks Google for not allowing us to readily swap the battery.
Galaxy nexus 2 hour screen on time. Carried a spare battery. Nexus 4 close to 4 hours screen. I guess what I am saying is I can cope because I came from actual bad battery life.

My iphone 4s only lasts 8 hours with heavy use. Streaming movies, Sirius sat, games, web surfing.
This phone outlasts that so far with the same stuff.
But its terrible you should sell it.....
The battery has been so so for me. I'm hoping when a good kernel and Ron come it will be a lot better. I benefit from working in range of a outlet .

GS3 battery dominates the N4 battery even tho it has the same 2100mah size.
I guess the AMOLED >>> IPS LCD in terms of battery drainage.
Sucks! I guess the Nexus 4 battery life will be only slightly better than my One X =(
I personally love the threads where former galaxy note owners and droid razer maxx owners ***** about battery life.

I swear guys I normally use same apps and on Note2 I was able to get day and day and half with heavy use and teo days with light use..but this N4 just drains battery like theres no tomorrow. Esp browsing internet..youtube..and other stuff that pulls a lot of data... The only way I can save battery is it i put brightness to almost zero and turn off wifi and data completely. I have all the normal stuff syncing and not often...facebook pulls data every 2 hours and other apps as well. I really love this device but WHY WHY WHY Google/LG decided to have non removable battery. I RESPECT Samsung so much more because they give you removable and decent battery and also give you SD card option which I can live without but its nice to have. I guess you get what you pay for.

GS3 most certainly does not dominate....
Amoled is only more efficient for blacks. Every other color it displays uses more power on AMOLED vs LCD. In fact, white uses 70% more power in AMOLED displays than LCD.
Watching 1hr video on Netflix over hspa+ at full brightness today dropped my battery from 80% to 29%. My galaxy nexus with the same use would have dropped maybe half of that.
Does that sound normal?
I'll be able to check if I have a defective unit pretty soon. I have a RMA for my earpiece speaker not working, but I'm literally stuck on a charger at all times, lol. I honestly don't really care about the crappy battery life, I still love this phone!
On the plus side, it seems to charge as fast as it loses charge, lol

I have owned mine since the 21st and I have noticed the battery to be on par with my S3 that is HIGHLY overclocked.... That being said, It could definitely be better! And the S3 has Verizon LTE so I don't know where all this drain is coming from... I use the same apps on all of my devices... Oh well! Time to get a good external battery...

Getting 3.5 hours screen on time here . with sync on , GPS on , screen 75% brightness. No issues here ,battery's great !!! " tweaking battery is waste of time . try letting it die charge it while off then another hour while on then pull charger , ( if anyone replies with letting die is bad your wrong , and u can send me all the links u want your still wrong
User error. You left a phone that has a massive 3100 mah battery for one with 2100.
My battery seems to be fine, previously I had a GSM GNex with the extended battery and my N4 has done just as well based off my usage.
I remove it from the charger around 7 a.m., use it all day for text, calls, browsing, emails. When I get home at 6 I am around 35-40% so I charge it for about 45 minutes to get me through the evening and then charge all night.
This routine has gotten me through virtually every phone I have had with a few exceptions (Treo 750 and SX-66 come to mind)
4.5 hours of screen on time is my average so far. Roughly 50% better then my Galaxy Nexus. Other than GPS remaining off, I haven't done anything special to conserve battery life. Not sure if I'm the exception, and I do wish I could swap the battery, but I can't complain too much.

Looking at others screenshots, I am only having half what the crowd having.
This is not the case for the n4 only. I am talking about every single Android I had in the past.
Is something wrong with me or what I see in the screenshots is 10% brightness, all the services off and staring at a black screen for 8 hours?
People's usage varies. Some people listen to a lot of music. Some use navigation frequently. Some have Google Now running, while others don't.
That said, I use automatic brightness, get on XDA a LOT, make a few calls and texts, and talk to people on gtalk. I usually see around 4h screen on time. Could I get more? Yes. But I don't care enough.

Good signal reception in your area is key to battery life.

Less storage so u will be using their cloud.
Not replaceable battery so after a year or less you instead of replacing battery by sending phone to service centre, buy their motorola X.

That, I can understand.
6 hours guys, I honestly have no idea how they manage that. When I turn on the screen, consumption jumps up to 600mah straight away. 2100/600= 3 hours + some minutes.
Btw I can literally see the cell tower from where I live. Reception is no issue at all.

List all the apps you have installed. Is Facebook one of them? Remove it.
Install betterbatterystats, check if some app(s) keeps your phone awake.

If you're using the stock Email client(not Gmail), that might have something to do with it.
I found out, by using Elixir 2, that the Email client was pretty much constantly using around 20-30% CPU, even though it wasn't showing up in the battery stats. Once I stopped using the Email client(removed all accounts) my battery life improved a lot.
Hi people i have my nexus 4, 1 month ago and i noticed now that my battery life decrease in the lasts 3 days, i really use this cellphone in the morning with music and google chrome i have disable Wi-Fi and i am always conected to the HSPA network, could you give me some advice or recommended a a ROM.

Turn off GPS, check your settings on Google maps, some times weather widgets and other apps drain your battery while screen off, task killers, news constantly updating news feed widgets do that

Hello all XSP users I thought of sharing battery stats with you guys.
Battery is good i would say! i got a back up of an entire day with lil heavy usage (Gaming, Music, Phone Calls, Videos, Whatsapp, Texting, gtalk) and the sleep in XSP is Brilliant! :good:
My device is - bootloader unlocked, rooted and most of the google apps removed (gmail, google+, voice dailer, few others)
Btw this is my third day after getting the device! and i didn't use any app to calibrate!

hey folks! im thinking of getting this phone, I had xperia S and went to an s3 because of horrible battery life on XS so . . Since this phone seems nice and has quite a big battery (2370mah and a smaller screen compared with my s3 2100 and big amoled screen) do you think it will get me satisfied ? I personally love its design (only missing a decent front camera) so . . is it worth the deal? Thanks in advance

There's an app that keep running in the background, waking up the CPU or data, install wakelock detector to find it.
As for me, normally from 100% to 1% I get 6.5 hours on screen time non stop on 3G.
I heard smaller battery in S3, optimus G goes for more.
