Battery length - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I got my N4 for christmas and I've noticed the charge give m a full day. I have juice defender pro running as well as Franco 23 and CyanogenMod10. How can I increase my battery life. Should I low volt or something? Also I have one to two bars of service and I fear my phones putting extra power to get a better signal.
Any suggestions?

This is the Nexus 10 forum. Did you perhaps post in the wrong area?

You seemed to have posted in wrong forum... But anyways it could be an app running in the back ground. Get a task killer ( if you don't already have one) and look at what is background syncing to your phone.

It could be for a number of reasons. For one, is 3g on a lot? Do you game? Read Twitter, Facebook or Google+? Live WP, ect. We need more details please.

Stock everything, rooted. Wifi model. Use it for web and 15 min of gaming daily.
Try flash franco kernel or flash other rom !

Better battery stats for the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

I agree with kilometers4. Better battery stats & cpu spy work well. I also suggest you download a battery calibration app. When I updated to Jelly Bean on my S3, the battery life sucked. But once I calibrated for a few cycles, it's great now. Same for my Nexus 7.
try switching to official CM10.1. Im getting 9hrs screen on time with it

I'm gonna hafta concur with this guy. However, I was having the same problem.
I used my keyboard to type into the search bar "bad battery life",
I looked at some similar titled threads and decided to look through this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783390&page=3&highlight=nexus+7+not+charging
I followed the directions.
I did profit.
Next time use the search bar, and don't get butthurt when someone teases you a little. It's called the internet get used to it. And your a senior member you should know that.
When my nexus was brand new, i also had a few battery issues. But got it fixed after fully discharging the device a few times. Make sure it charges to 100% inbetween.

If you are running 4.2 i would reccomend you switch back to 4.1
Inverro route
Try to disable NFC
It has to be a rogue app, I'm getting way over that on my stock n7 32gb, stock 4.2.1

Bug on some devices where you have to reboot after reaching a full charge
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I find it kinda strange you only getting 3 hours out of it. On my Nexus 7 I can get little over 24 hours on a full charge. That's with basic web surfing, xda app, twitter and few YouTube videos.
Course if I do something more demanding like playing games I get less runtime on the battery.

I flashed Francis kernal and Cm10.1. Right now battery is 43% with 2 hours on screen time. So I format it and restore my apps using titanium backup?

Nexus 4 battery

I am a new user and I like the nexus 4 a lot but the only one problem is the battery use up in a short period of time could any more help about the battery saving of this phone and share your experience and screen shot

Please use already existing thread for battery related issues;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992627
But yes you have to understand few things about battery and how to manage it. Install better battery stats or gsam battery monitor and CPU spy and learn to read the data they produce to identify what's causing battery drain and how you can manage it.

I was interested in how the battery on the Nexus 4 performed but i aint trawling through 242 pages.
No one seems willing to help on here you just either get thread locked thread already exists or go look at this already running thread, never known a forum like it.
How long have you owned your nexus 4? I was shocked at my battery life at first, but after about 2 weeks it significantly improved. Now I can easily last 12 hours with about 2,5h screen time. Not as impressive as some others, but still doable. So you might just want to give your device a few weeks to get used to you using it.

Best ROM/tweak for better battery life on Nexus 4

Does anyone know a stable ROM that can significant increase the battery life on the Nexus 4? Right now I'm stock, and battery life has been terrible and doesn't even last me through the day. It is also very slow to charge on the included charger, but seems to charge faster on a Kindle Fire 1.8A I have.
Thanks!

The custom kernels in the dev section offer decent battery life.
I'm a wifi user mostly and I get @5.5 to 6 hours screen on time with lite gaming and browsing (this site all day lol).. i do Undervolt by a total of 150mV too... I recomend Harsh's kernel personally.
Underclocking the CPU is not worth it imo because it just makes other cores go online quicker when more power is needed... though it may help a small bit.
other usual tips..
use low screen brightness
turn off google now
turn off gps location
only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)
turn off nfc if not using
make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while (this really helps with stock kernel because of the wakelocks)
edit.. also after a week or so of charges the battery gets better.
Mpdecision is killing the battery. Try Franco kernel or faux.

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...
i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time
battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

I've terrible battery usage after 4.3 update. I never had any issues before but now I get 20 to 30 percent drop during the night when before it was under 10 in the same scenario.
Android os Showing 6h usage...
Any help on sorting this out highly appreciated.
Battery life has increased a lot for me.
No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.
@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.

Stock version battery screenshots?

So I'm trying to find out if I'm the only one getting terrible life out of my battery. I used to get 16 hours + and still have 10% left. Now, it drops about 15% an hour. I use less than 25% brightness.

Your going to need to be a bit more specific.
I averaged 4.5-5 hours screen time when I first got my phone running MDL firmware. That is running everything as is right out the box with fairly heavy data usage.
That screen shot doesn't tell you squat.
I'm new to Android and I'm starting to hate my s4. I only get 2-3hrs screen time with this phone. Battery life is very terrible. I hate the fact that you to greenify stuffs just to maximize battery life. I'm using deadly venom 8.2 on mf3. Lux dash as auto brightness (I hate the fact that you have to lower the brightness settings to get better battery life?)
I'm usually on wifi, on my better battery stats, I go 3-4.5% per hour when I'm not using it which can last the whole day but once I use it, it just eats up the batter from 15%-25%max per hour usage. Very disappointing.

Not to be rude but go back to the iPhone if you don't like android simple as that people on craigslist will trade an iPhone 5/5c for your gs4. You've already made several threads and comments about this right now. I get great battery life plus iOS 7 is way too colorful.

Seems normal. Only dropped 5% in 1 hour 15 minutes in your screenshot instead of 15% you said in your first post. You could try turning off those google services you dont use.
