Nexus 4 Battery Life

Hey there..
I'm thinking of getting this phone, but in every review, they say the battery life is pretty crappy... can somone please share their experiences or stats on this please?
Thanks!

Nobody has one yet....
FFS

even if it is horrible. These press units aren't being used "normally" or lightly. They are constantly being hammered to get every last thing about it to talk about.
We have kernels and roms to go on. My Galaxy Nexus last 35 hours on a single charge on a stock battery. While some people struggle to get even 10 hours on it.

Wait for the gsm arena battery test results and then compare the hours to other phones to see how it performes

Exactly. my guess is also that it's because of the phone not being in the final software. Otherwise how could the same battery prove that worse compared to ICS lg Optimus? Jelly bean had a much better battery life in general too...
And IMO that is also the reason for the poor performance

Let's hope everything will be alright after the software update
I love nexus 4 !

Cant post links yet.. so
1. Open youtube
2. search "TheMediaflex"
3. go on to his videos
4. open the video with the heading "The LG Nexus 4 arrives, but with no LTE"
5. at around 00:53 it shows the battery discharge
6. Keep your hopes up!

LG Nexus 4 Battery Easily Replaced

The trend toward devices with internal batteries, ones that can’t be replaced, has come at the dismay of many power users who often need to switch to a fresh battery in the middle of the day. The Nexus 4 has a “non-removable” battery like most people expected, but it looks like it might be a lot easier to access than many might assume. You’re probably not going to make a battery swap in the middle of the day, but if you run into an issue with the battery, at least you know it won’t be impossible to replace.
Defective batteries and burn-out are a real concern with modern mobile device batteries, and while it may be fairly rare for something to go wrong, anyone with a smartphone who’s not willing to disassemble the entire device can tell you how frustrating it is to lose a phone to a bad battery. On November 2, a follower of Brian Klug, Senior Editor for Anandtech.com, sent him a tweet about battery replacement for the Nexus 4 on Twitter. Mr. Klug responded:
@aatifsumar there are two torx screws, then some plastic clips, it’s easy
Aatif pushed for a little more information and Mr. Klug responded with a great photo of the battery situation:
@aatifsumar two screws, boomhttp://twitpic.com/b9pbsj
The 2100mAh battery should be fairly capable of handling a day of moderate use, but for the fear of battery failure this is great news. Mr. Krug came through with another photo a little later giving a bigger picture of the situation.

Doesn't really solve anything anyone is talking about here. Being able to replace defective batteries is a separate issue from the phone's poor battery life.

Options:
1. If the info from me is usefull for you then push the "Thanks" button, cause all i want is to help you!
2. If not, read more!
3. Life is too short for other options!

Every review? No, engadget u mean? Most reviews had battery life as good to excellent for a smart phone. Dont panic and it is certainly not every review.

i think they plugged in charger at the red square
surely, it is impossible to reach 16 hour

Yes that's true. The nexus 4 consumes lot of battery life when the wifi is used.

I take all these battery complaints with a grain of salt. First, software was not final. I find it hard to believe it is going to be THAT much different than Optimus G.
Something else -- I had a friend who got a US GS III and had terrible battery life despite doing everything. Exchanged for a new one and battery life was double the first one. Do you think any of these "get it out first" reviewers considered this as a possibility? Heck, most of them didn't even mention that Google told them the OS code was not final.
It is worth noting that LG has had battery issues in the past. Was one of the reasons I didn't get an LG last year.

I'm finding the battery life to be pretty good. Over 36 hours and still going for light use. By light use, I mean I played a couple of videos, made a couple of calls, general internet surfing, lots of drop box syncing and more. Mostly all over Wifi. Also some wifi tethering for an hour or so. I also find that the battery charges quicker than normal too. Hope this helps

Sony Xperia Z3 - 2 Day Battery Life [INFO]

Morning, Evening, Afternoon All (depends where you are) I'm really excited about the Xperia Z3 Compact!!! :laugh:
So If you're interested in this phone I'm certain by now, you've seen the claim for 2 DAYS OF BATTERY LIFE which is why I'm sure the majority are here! Yes I'm excited about the Camera's Blazing high ISO count and superb IP rating w/ underwater feature but without good battery they won't mean much.
In this day and age were all skeptics about battery life claims until we experience it ourselves, and for good reason! Either way I'm just here to drop some info about that.
The Z3 Compact will also be featuring a Stamina Mode for 4 days and even an Ultra Mode for 7 days battery, Kinda amazing! Ultra Mode limits you to pretty much calling and texting according to SONY but that's probably good to save battery for long periods where you only need your phone for emergencies.
Below is from "Strategy Analytics" who ran z3 Compact battery test on behalf of SONY. Here is a link to the CLAIM TEST AND RESULTS.
2-day battery life
During battery performance testing conducted between July and September 2014 in a laboratory under an active use conditions reflective of the Typical Smartphone User by Sony Mobile Communications AB the Z3 lasted at least 48 hours minutes on average until battery exhaustion.
Battery performance testing reflective of a Typical Smartphone User usage profile involved using the device for approximately 5 hours in a 24-hour period, for a range of typical usage scenarios (calling, texting, web, sns, games, camera, music and video). Default settings were applied for the device during battery performance testing including display brightness of 100Nits and Battery stamina mode off.
Typical Smartphone User usage profile. This involved using the device for approximately 5 hours in a 24-hour period, for a range of typical usage scenarios (calling, texting, web, sns, games, camera, music and video).​

UPDATE: GSMARENA has released battery life results for the Xperia Z3! Their test show (DRUM ROLL) 4 DAYS :victory: & this is without stamina or ultra mode, I can't contain myself any longer! We haven't heard of numbers like this since the good old candy bar phone days. I loved playing snake on nokia phone! You can't be NOT be excited for the Z3C! Also click the link for the full phone review for the Xperia Z3 Compact.
2ND UPDATE: The phone has dropped in India! Most if not all of the US bands seem to be supported on the international version as well according to the White Paper
and we have an actual user review on reddit, only thing I found great here is he's the first I've seen to actual post LOW LIGHT shots. BEEN waitinga while for this!! Be excited people!​
** IF YOU HAVE MORE INFO TO ADD JUST POST BELOW AND I'LL TOSS IT IN IF IT'S NOT ALREADY THERE **

Hello here.
I really like my iPhone 5, but after all rumors of iPhone 6 (most of them will be true), I decided back to Android. At first, new look (iP6) it's not for me. Second, battery is deal breaker here. It is not possible to stand long with this specs and low capacity battery. Screen and connectivity take all. I really hope to get smartphone with 1 full day battery life.

The z3 compact looks alot like the z1 compact but with a 2600mah battery instead of 2300mah. My z1 compact easily outlasts my brother's iphone 5c that is less than a year old.

The comparision above is quite accurate. Yes, it is possible. The stamina mode work wonders already, and if you ever plan to install a more efficient ROM like Cyanogenmod, I am sure the battery claims will be all true. I own a Z1 Compact ' the battery is unbelievable, plus the Z3 Compact battery will be even better. The iPhone 6 specifications are all lame compared to this anyway.
Sure, you can't expect the battery to last at all if you are playing games or roaming on a place with bad signal all day long.

That stamina mode sounds awesome honestly! The Z3C is supposed to do 2 days under moderate use which if true is absolutely amazing! Maybe we'll get back to the nokia/candy/flip phone days where phones actually lasted a week. One can only dream

Agreed! Don't forget there's also the option for 'Ultra Stamina Mode' - basically reserved for old-school-Nokia features only (calls and smses), with the battery lasting around a week

Haven't checked us deals since this seemed pretty good + I want to avoid additional shipping/customs costs.
Yep, it does the charging (I think that's it's sole purpose) , although slower than the wall charger, but since the battery life will be great we won't have to charge often anyway

【unboxing】Zenfone 2 4G/64G (Thermal Imaging/Camera/Game)

Hi~I'm from Taiwan~
I used Zenfone 5 2G/32G before，now upgrade Zenfone 2 4G/64G ~

first, I simply list the ZEN 2 compares the difference with ZEN 5 feelings
1.1080P screen becomes super nice (I used the phone to see the movie was really cool ~
2.RAM more large, do not worry enough (you can get rid of the habit of clearing RAM ~
3. Fast charging speed is really super fast, this is very easy to save time (but fast charge is really a bit later added that enthusiasm ~ ~
4. super loud horn loud (louder to put me in the room feel quite noisy -
5. The back shell will not stick fingerprints (except the screen one less place to rub; P
6. Standby time becomes longer (since the launch of the original offer of APP management Chaohaoyong ~
unboxing
The same parts, but the fast charge charger transformer upgrade 9V ~
The concentric circles made no finer the screen attached to the uneven generation problem ~
Protector hesitated for a long time and finally I choose 2.5D Glass Sticker ~
Glass Sticker spend NT $ 100
Intel Atom Z3580 inside
I found the back cover with matte imitation Hairline, it will not stick fingerprints:good:
Antutu best results，48981 ~
M9 will be published before the beta to see high scores, but in the end plate or because it will overheat, with a reduced frequency to solve the overheating problem, and then decreased frequency performance is lower than Zenfone2
GFXBench
Thermal Imaging
Zenfone2 Disassemble by Zentalk shakalaca
Thermal Imaging(i use FLIR E4)
GFXBench/Antutu
Fast charge 1 minute/Fast charge 10 minute
You can see the temperature control was good, running 10 minutes maximum temperature of 43.4 degrees C GFXBench
Play games temperature about 30 to 40 degrees C
https://youtu.be/RMGfEgl6_KE
But this added into the fast-charge, battery charging 50% or less, 9V fast charge current at high temperature will affect soared to 40 degrees C
(time-temperature/battery)
In the use of mobile phones when fast charge 9V temperatures soared to 49 degrees C, this is not ideal
Phone standby time is better 9V fast charge

Zenfone 2 has triaxial sensor after, Google Cardboard boxes VR headset can also be used
But some would APP flash back (Cardboard beginning of), FBRUM basically can play without problems
Camera
The upgrade also great pixel camera, with large aperture camera in AUTO mode becomes very high success rate
And join the M-mode is really useful, I can not go back
Ultra-high-resolution mode (four times the resolution, the use of multiple shooting synthetic way up to 13 million pixels had become the highest number of 52 million painting)
This mode is very suitable stand tripod to take pictures
Zenfone 2 performance is very good and very cheap, this C / P value is very high~You'll love it ~
Sorry I use GOOGLE translation, I hope the above information is useful ~

Greetings and thank you for your very detailed unboxing and review on your Zenfone 2 unit, it's great to have you here! I've purchased and have (indirectly) received my 1.8GHz/2GB RAM/32GB ZE551ML model today and so far it's working well.
I don't physically have it yet as my brother in Florida collected and is sending it to me when possible. However, from the feedback of other Zf2 owners I know it's an exceptional device and is definitely worth purchasing any model.
There has been only one major issue with the 4GB ZE551ML variant, as reported by respective owners, and that's the short battery life due to high consumption. Have you and other Taiwanese people experienced this as well, and is Asus aware of this and other bugs?
I suspect that it's actually the Android 5.0 software since we know there's a memory leak that has been addressed in later versions. Regardless, many international owners are disappointed with this and personally I don't blame Asus as the device itself is fantastic. Thanks for anything you can share on this.

I live in Dallas and own the 4g 32gb from Taiwan on At&t. Had it for a week now and battery consumption depends on how you use it and what network are you on mostly. If the phone keeps looking for Lte signal it'll drain your batt. If it keeps looking for WiFi signal even if WiFi is off it'll drain. Auto light it'll drain. 5.0 with me leak it'll drain. And constant fetching notifications it'll drain. I really can't complain with it being quad core and 4gb of ram on at all times its to be expected. Here is my batt consumption for today. This is calls, text, forums, Internet, Bluetooth, Pandora, and Spotify.

You should be getting more than 3 hours of screen on time though. I do see that you have pretty terrible signal, but still. Android OS shouldn't be using the most battery, but unfortunately it does. Battery and screen brightness in sunlight are the reasons I got rid of it.

Nice post, lots of info.

The signal is because it's always looking for Lte. I'm inside most of the time so it doesn't really affect me.

Is it easy to change the battery? Do you just have to remove the simcard/microsd panel and then disconnect the battery? or it's more complicated?

Post/discuss your battery life!

We were missing a dedicated thread for discussing battery life, maybe due to the fact that not many have the phone yet.
I test LG phones and I put them through the same battery test with 3 topics, video playback, surfing and gaming at different screen brightness.
You can see the results here in Swedish, you can easily understand the numbers in the diagrams
Or you can read the whole article Google translated (turned out pretty good grammatically).
So post your battery results and discuss how to make it better (or worse)!

Ye, the battery time is much better than G3 if you do light usage, but as soon as you fire up some little heavier so the SoC has to work it plummets quickly.
The standby time is pretty good, several hours per %. But I did have some problem with Google Now wakelocks I think (hard to check without root), became better after uninstalling updates for Google Search and Google Play Services and then reinstalling.

Damn i was really hopeing for a great battery on the g4 after the announcement of the 808 chip. im coming from a ****ty droid razr m that dies quickly after a day, with terrible stand-by time. But i guess as long as the g4 battery is better than my phone, its still an upgrade

So after a a full day of my normal usage yesterday, web browsing, simpler games, some minutes of phone call. I did test that chess program in the other thread that ate like 10+% of my battery pretty quickly.

I ended the day at like 19%, then I forgot to charge it over the night, and it was down to 11% when I woke 12 hours later (Yay weekend). Then I used it down to 3% (dont mind the 30% after charging a while). I do have something under Android-System that is using my GPS and is draining battery sometimes, not much, but still irritating. I tried turning off lots of stuff, but cant seem to find the culprit.

I used G3 before G4 and G2 before that. G4 is better than G3 at light work like chatting, surfing, watching video, but gaming and when it stresses the SoC it becomes worse, even worse than G3. Some days ago I had 3:45 SoT at 3% when I had used the chess app in the other thread for a while. The day after I got 5 hours and 20% left because I had done mostly chatting and browsing.
The screen is almost as power efficient as G2 (which is awesome considering QHD and larger). But SD808 eats power like a fat kid eats candy.

I used G3 before G4 and G2 before that. G4 is better than G3 at light work like chatting, surfing, watching video, but gaming and when it stresses the SoC it becomes worse, even worse than G3. Some days ago I had 3:45 SoT at 3% when I had used the chess app in the other thread for a while. The day after I got 5 hours and 20% left because I had done mostly chatting and browsing.

worse than g3 is not somtihng that i want to hear,i hope that software update can fix this....
and because you answered, and got to play with both devices what do you think about the display brightness and outdoor use?(compared to the G3)

At 0% its much darker than G3, at 100% its pretty much same as G3, not sure where that extra 25% brightness went really. I havent had any problem seeing the screen in the sun, not that I bring it up in direct sunlight much, also since I havent gotten it to overheat and lower brightness automatically, it should be a much better experience in the sun.

Zerolemon for me then

Thank you for this thread. This is all I needed to hear.
I have suffered through sub-2-hour screen on time on the G3 for a year now. I have done everything, turning off location, even getting the phone warranty replaced once, getting the Lollipop update, factory resetting yesterday. I have uninstalled apps, left them installed and Greenified. I have done some pretty in-depth testing with Gsam, Better Battery Stats, and the stock battery usage chart. I'm rooting my G3 right now just because I am scientifically curious what in the bleeding ****ing hell is eating my battery on this phone that I wiped yesterday. Yesterday.
I'm either going to Edge up to a Droid Turbo, like my wife has, since my Droid Maxx never did this, get an S6 Edge, or even just get a dumbphone I can make calls on and charge every 3 days, then get literally a Gpad or Nexus 8 or some smallish Android tablet with LTE.
After preordering the flagship phone last year, with more RAM and better specs than everything on the market, then suffering with charge-twice-a-day battery life for a year, I think smartphones have literally failed me, and I think I'm done.

Better battery then i had on my s6

Around 60 to 70% brightness and wifi and 4g active and used both indoors and outdoors and when outdoors wifi still active and brightness at 100%
This i got another day

Seems impressive and going against what is being told around there.

Horrible battery life, with a new MXP

I purchased the phone a week ago. Updated everything, and using 6.0.1 stock rom. My usage is exactly the same, as well as the apps I use, (Firefox, soundcloud,messenger,tapatalk) that I had on my moto e 2nd gen.
With moto e:
3h consistent sot or a bit more
12h daily usage
With moto x play:
4/4:30h SOT Max (cannot get more)
10/12h usage (cannot get more)
I don't know what's wrong and I think my phone is faulty. Yes, the battery does not last forever, but I am having almost similar results as the moto e? Wtf? No root on both. Also, the phone is so slow while browsing certain sites, especially with Firefox? Flash videos and heavy pictures are a ***** to load and the browser even stalls.
Would you guys return the phone in this case? I don't have much choice with wind currently, and I am looking at other phones but don't like much stuff.
I bought a G2 t-mobile on eBay and the seller ****ed me up, stating it was new, when it was refurbished. Would love to find a decent one, fast, but the battery is probably going to have to be swapped?
Also.... The note 4... Still worth it? Just find it big, but the endurance rating on gsmarena is awesome.
Please guys... Give me some guidance here. I have my head on a daze

Buy a portable battery if you plan to keep your phone in hands for a whole day.

First of all, sorry you are feel disappointed in your battery life as i assume you bought the phone for the battery life. Second, gsmarena's endurance rating should not be used as a reference in my opinion. Go through their testing methodology and you will understand why. NOW,
What is your typical usage? Which apps do you use the most and if gps is on? 4g data? screen brightness?

You say you updated everything, what was on it when you got it? 5.x? 6.0? If so, you probably want to do a factory reset, this seems to cure a lot of battery and performance woes after an Android update.

It was the 5.0 something... That is something I could try, but I don't have much hope. It just guzzles to battery.. It's absolutely retarded.

It's worth a shot, it sounds like you don't have much to lose anyway at this point.
You could take it to Wind; I suspect a factory reset is the first thing they'll do too.
Good luck! If you do a reset please post your results.

I'm rooted and using a customer rom, so I can't really comment on your battery usage
As for your browser comment, I noticed that chrome and firefox are pigs on 6.0.1. I don't know why, but sluggish as hell for everything, even my home media server, local connection through chrome takes >2min. just to load the landing page, something that usually comes up immediately.
I installed CM Browser and the experience is night and day.
Try a different browser.

Well... The factory reset I could do that easily, but I mean... The phone is new. There is no reason we should be doing this with a phone with such great battery. It should last hours.... I had a G2 before, and got 8 hours sot right out of the box

I guess that's why look at the maximum usage... It's crazy on chrome

Uninstall messenger

I would love too, but I really need it. Still haven't hard reseted it

You are on 3g and Bluetooth is on too. The fb messenger too is working everytime.
Mostly it's because of 3g. Your signal is so low. Most of battery is going in maintaining the connection.

Habit browser, uninstall fb messenger, bookmark fb on habit and use it for messaging. You're getting getting 1+ hours screen time over your last device? And the problem is? I would love that on a stock device without root... Root it and get yourself 3 more hours sot... Or live with what you have and be happy.
Zdeuce2 now with golden rays of sunshine

Thank you guys for your answers. Zdeuce: the moto e is 2600mah +/-, and moto x play is 3630mah.... Abysmal difference between the two... Just thought it would do so much more, given the "slow" processor and huge battery. I was expecting at least 8 hours SOT.... Stock!

Yes it would be slow but it's an upgrade over the Moto e processor and the huge battery is powering a huge high resolution screen too.

I would wait for three to dour days. Delete all battery saver or ram saving apps. Facebook. Almost all mobiles need few days to settle in.

I hope I can be able to post proper screenshots of the battery this weekend. It just feels that something is wrong. Either my expectations or the phone. And then there is another thing. Don't you guys think the automatically brightness control is way too high 90% of the times? Super bright, to me. The moto e was perfect in that regard.

Adaptive brightness is the first thing I turn off when I get a new phone. I don't like it and my eyes have adjusted to a consistent brightness over time. Try disabling Adaptive brightness and location if you are not navigating. That should ease up on the drain.

The adaptive brightness and playing games is your problem. Try to keep your brightness around 50% or lower and your sot will be much more. Also you can disable apps you dont use (google sheets,maps,chrome,google+)or greenify them if you wanna keep using them. If this doesn't help i should do a factory reset to be sure its not a bug.
