What's the issue? You used it over around a 19hr period and it drained.... what was your screen on time?
BTW Facebook app will kill a battery.

Downgrade to kitkat. I get 1-2days and like 5 hours SOT

I did experience that as well. I believe it's exynos processor. Snapdragon is a way better than samsung chip - it just works. I'm really sad that I bought n910c. N910F was cheaper and it's better (and it works faster when you encrypt the phone) !

Nothing to do with the processor or Lollipop. I have a N910C on 5.1.1 and get approx 6 hours screen on time daily. There must a rogue app or process draining your power. Also your phone appears to be awake quite a lot when the screen is not on.

oh c'mon - n910f has a way better sot. Anyway - I did remove SD card (encrypted) at it seems that sot is better and performance increased. Need to investigate this.
----
update - there is no improvement in performance. 1 hr sot = 25% battery (and screen is not bright!). for me exynos is crap. I'm switching over to n910f

Music battery drain .

Hi
I've posted this before but didn't have good screen shot.
This is with only 1.5 odd hours of music consider im @ 11 %.
that's 19+10 % battery drain by music player alone which is roughly about 25 % of battery drain for not even 2 hours of music which is just stupid imo , because on my galaxy nexus and older xperia mini 2 hours music was never more than 5 to 7 % battery drain i mean just music screen off nothing else with ear phones .
Doesnt anyone know the reason why nexus 4 has such high battery drain playing music ? and is there any fix?
Thanks in advance
PS : im not saying i have bad battery life at all i have 4 hours screen on time on mobile data in that screen shot i just think close to 25 % for less than 2 hours music player is complete BS .

*bump* anyone ?
Yes, known issue. Lots of people are reporting it. Keep your fingers crossed it's fixed in the next version.
In past versions of android it could be caused by a corrupt media file that the media scanner is stuck on. That's hard to diagnose because you might not be able to tell which file it is.
However, you probably have the same issue that most possible are having.

Battery life sucks

It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..
Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.
Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.
I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?

[Q] Is this normal battery drain?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:
Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

And in charge it stop at 72 or 80 or whatever and when i remove the battery and put it back it say 100 percent
I was using sixperience but the phone was death to much with heavy work like gaming AND Internet browsing even the battery was full
I formate And install official software coj5 and buy a new battery

I'm having the same issue with the N910T I'm on my second battery which is currently inflated and my phone is all squishy now. But the problem is still there.

My N910C battery has also swollen, but it does not have the "death" problem you are experiencing. I have already changed the battery when I noticed it swelled.

Same for me. It started when phone was around 6 months old. Sometimes it shutdown at 25%,sometimes at 30-35%... It even happened at 60%! It also happens to my brother on his S6...

I'm at 61% right now
Here's my SOT from the second full charge. One of the best that I've seen with my usage.

Good mate but you charged it a bit
Not bad at all for this battery/hardware combo.
Stock ROM rooted with Magisk and Force Doze
At 55% battery I'm looking at 4 hours 11 minutes screen on time. Usage split between YouTube and chrome.
I got down to 12% battery, had 6:50 SOT. Youtube, loudspeaker music/podcast, lots of Chrome, some social media. Really happy so far.
Straight usage. 100 -> 49
4:43 of SoT
YouTube and Chrome.
I have force doze so I think during standby it'll flatline. Just can't stop using my phone though.
Screenshots speaks for it self

This is great, would be better if next time you provide us with screenshots please :good:
Here's mine from yesterday. Almost 6hrs S.O.T with 50% battery remaining.
First full day with device.
Includes 1.5 hours of GPS and Bluetooth streaming
Very happy with results.

I'm very happy with my results after first full charge and purposely pushing it to test the battery.
High accuracy and all battery consuming features on.:good::good:
First days of normal usage since I received my U11 one week ago. Got to say I'm honestly impressed and like what I got.

Battery life looks great
