Anyone else noticing that the battery percentage goes down incredibly fast when screen is on ?
I've never ever seen a phone go down so fast and I've had the note

i've actually been pleasantly surprised at the battery life on mine! Over two hours of screen time midway through my day yesterday and i was just above 60%
Have been advised to turn cell broadcast off
Supposed to save a bit if battery.

My advice, get Tasker to disable mobile data and WiFi when screen is off. Disable Google Now. Disable NFC. Disable GPS until you actually use it. Enjoy your 5+ hour screen on battery life.

exactly my thinking.
Why the hell does the Nexus consume soooo much battery ? I have turned most of the stuff off but you dont get any Google Now, emails etc dont work correctly, - totally useless.
My S2 is better than this.

I've literally watched the battery tick down every 2-3 minutes right before my very eyes doing absolutely nothing. Just had the screen on. SMH

I really want this phone at 3pm today but is the battery THAT bad? I thought they learned from the Galaxy Nexus.

yeah its worse than my Galaxy S2. - battery stats say its the screen but that's on auto and its already dim as hell. When off it consumes power if WiFi is on.

Hold up... So you're saying... Having the screen on... Which uses more battery than screen off drains the battery? :what:
My current ROM kernel combo is battery efficient

And? Most people don't seem to get this: Say your battery depletes 1% for every 3 minutes you have the screen on, that's 300 minutes, or 5 hours, of screen time. Which is more than acceptable.

Yeah def better than the gnex which was rather good too. I took my phone off of charge @ 7:20am and put it on charge when it had 4% left @ 1:30am. So pretty much lasted 18 hours with medium use.

What do you mean cell broadcast? Where is that?
my N4 is 1% per minute screen on
2% streaming video, that right, 40 minute netflix = 80% battery gone
NFC and cell broadcast off, gps off, screen at 50% brightness
Like a fool i sold my iPhone 5 and got the nexus 4 only to be having this issue FML

I just installed apex launcher yesterday and thought id change the power toggles icon to battery to keep an eye on how the launcher would affect my battery life. A few hours ago i charged my phone fully. I noticed the battery went to 98 percent fairly quickly but then it went back up to 100. I checked my battery stats to make sure it wasnt just the power toggles playing up. But the graph actually showed the battery percentage going up.
Any ideas?
Is your device new?

The battery meter and graph are more of a rough approximation of your battery. It reads off of the current the battery receives. If it spikes you could see the battery graph drop a little and then go back up.

AW: Weird Battery?
I had this 100-98-100 bug, too. Happened to me 2 times. It seems to be just a small bug, doesn't bother me too much.

Hey guys, I have just noticed something weird. My phone when completely dead and charging does not charge up 100 percent. it maxes out to 96 in the course of 7 hours. Any ideas? i am on paranoid 3 and stock kernel btw? Thanks this also happens on stock 4.2.2
Were you charging it while it was on or off?

There is a mechanism in place to prevent overcharging while off.

wow guys are you all serious??? i lose around 10-15 percent overnight man
Dude.. My phone was on 60 percent at 6pm once when I slept... Next morning at seven it was off... Wifi off data off.. All **** off... I dint even get a call or msg... Definitely not 1 percent I guess...
If I leave data and WiFi off, about 2% to 10% but that isn't usual. When I am home, I leave WiFi on and that gets my currents and YouTube video preloaded. 15% to 20% Max. I rarely leave it to charge overnight.

REBOOTED - nothing, drain battery like hell, lose about 30-40% in 5 hours...
I woke up with 15-20% battery drained... wtf guys ?
I kill all apps, turn of data, wifi and etc, still nothing...
BATTERY STATUS - messaging use 84% of battery... wtf ?
To all of you having problems with battery drain, you should know that last Google Maps update messed up the deep sleep state of the system.
I´m running Carbon ROM, but also tested with other 2 ROM´s and the results were the same, around 20%-25% battery drain over night.
I read that disabling "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings in the Google Settings app(the one with the green icon) helps a little, but still is an issue.
With these settings disabled, I get around 5% battery drain over night. Although the wakelock has decreased, is still there waking up the device. Already reported to Google to see if they can do anything to fix it. The wakelock appears as "Android System" or "Google Services".
Before update I had around 3% battery drain over night(around 8 hours) with WiFi.
Hope this helps.
:fingers-crossed:
As a battery life druggie, I get 1% max. Regardless rom. Usually wifi off and 2g data on. (wifi on is bad for HUMAN DEEP SLEEP).
A not sure useful or not hint, set pm.sleep_mode=1 in your build.prop
Disable everything you can think of. Wifi, gps etc.
Uninstall bloatwares, replace with downloadable ones, use greenify to freeze them.
5 %
Does anyone know why this is happening? My phone deep sleeps but loses ~10% per hour. I tried replacing the battery and restoring to stock but nada

uuuhmmmmmm quite weird... I think that must be a hw issue.. did u contact google? does this happen with every kernel?
I got my phone from a carrier in Canada and they will not honour the warranty because I bought it outright. I have tested stock and franco
Install BetterBatteryStats and see what the other wakelocks are.
Sometimes WakelockDetector does not show every wakelock that is happening.

And look what i said, WKD does not seem to be able to see all the wakelocks, install BBS and see if you get any extra wakelocks.
If that doesn't help, i would suggest you to do a complete reflash to stock and see if it still happens on stock.
turn off your wifi when you are not using it. there is a constant drain with a wifi connection.
Drain is STILL there with wifi and everything off (airplane mode)
I installed BetterBatteryStats and everything seems normal. In a 1 hour period the largest offender was msm_hsic_host and sns_async_evwakelock and suspend_backoff with a total of 4 min.
It seems to drain the same whether I use the phone or not.

I was after a red light I bought a new battery because I wanted everything back. but after replacing. the phone loses all the time very fast.i think is battery fault. I tried all the ROM and the kernel and does not help

Seems like the exact same issue. Have you tried using another battery? I am being sent another battery to replace the one I bought so I will try that when it arrives.
I not tried yet. I wait for the 4.4 ROM and if not help i buy new battery but from someone else

I have a question. as you put the batteries you put blue tape too? It's a bit strange but maybe this is the reason because I threw my to the trash.it is called blue anti-electrostatic discharge tape
What blue tape? Do you are exepriencing usb connection problems too? I have all those symptoms after I've replaced my battery, and also the usb stopped working

Well, I didn't replace mine.. Could it be the culprit? Where can we buy that tape?
I doubt the tape is the issue.
Have any of you tried using another new battery?
