What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys, I posted here yesterday because my nexus 4 is stuck charging in USB mode which is really really slow, but I finally got it fully charged overnight. Since I have no way to quickly charge it I decided to see how much I could squeeze out of a charge. This is only the second time that the battery has been fully charged and I did everything I could think of to conserve battery: mobile data off, 2g network only, wifi off, sync off, lowest screen brightness, all GPS and location settings off, Google+ disabled, and using the phone very minimally. Other than sending less than 100 texts the phone was just hanging out in my pocket and this is how long the battery lasted.

Pretty atrocious. Anybody have any tips? I am thinking that since the phone is stuck in USB charging that could have something to do with it and maybe I just have a faulty device. I already contacted Google about an rma for the USB issue and I have a new phone on its way, but god knows when it will arrive. Thanks for any help!

Sounds like getting a new one was a good idea. In the meantime it will make a great paperweight.

Returning my phone to tmobile

Galaxy 5 continues to eat battery. Android operating system. The fix I tried didn't work. Obviously samsung dropped the ball on the Galaxy 5.

What's your signal strength like? If the G5 is like any other phone a low signal can really eat through the battery because the radio transmitter has to constantly transmit at full power to hit the tower. Try using Wi-Fi if you aren't already doing so and see if that helps.

Battery Life on Verizon

So my s5 is at 75% with just 40 minutes of screen on time, so by this math it'll be about 2.5 hours screen time when it dies on it's twelfth hour. It seems to me like the battery should be better. Is this similar to what others are getting. Usually android proces/system aren't at the top but they are here.

lol mine is at 3hrs at 50% so my math says that i will prob get 7hrs screen on time...
my recommendation would be that you check on what apps you are installing and see the phone settings screen brightness,etc

I don't have hardly anything installed, besides if it was some app I'm pretty sure it would show up on the battery stats, that's why I'm confused.

Battery life between xt1032 & xt1038

Hello everyone, so I had some problems with my Xt1032 and took it back to Argos...they offered to replace and I asked if I could change it for the 4G model since its the same price. They accepted. But the thing is my battery is better on my XT1039 than my 1032 was...which is odd.
I haven't even conditioned the battery yet and I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time with battery life lasting between a day and a day and a half.
My most recent battery life is shown below

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it would be interesting to see..
Also I am using the XDA app which I find horrible. Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place.

There is a thread dedicated to that already...

I've posted on that I mean has anyone had any replacement devices and noticed a large difference.
Oh and the search feature on the mobile app is terrible. Gonna install Tapatalk later...

Radio shows as off+battery frain

So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Running Jasmine ROM 2.4.1.

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?
