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.

On a full charge with no wifi, no sync, lowest brightness, no gps etc I'm getting roughly 1 to 2 hours of talk time and maybe a total of 4 to 5 hours battery life with the screen off. I pretty much have to travel everywhere with a charger and its starting to drive me nuts.
Is it worth it to switch to another distro ? Anyone else having this issue ?
Are you on the latest version? I'm using version 2.3 and it lasts more than 24 hours on a single charge.
I guess you have to replace your battery, mate
wow ... 24 hours :-.
Can you post your statistics ?

These numbers are off btw due to the constant charging every few hours.

What kind of drain are you getting in terms of mA? Download current widget and check this. It should be 4 or 5 mA in standby.

Do u use any app2sd script? in 2.0 some people got an extremly high battery drain, because of app2sd (~50-70mA on Standby). Maybe try to reflash u're rom without any app2sd and check the drain again.
Sorry for the late reply, guys. I've been busy lately. Well, here is a screenshot of my HD2 after a day of moderate use running TyTung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.3

This is what you can really achieve..
very pleased. coming from a desire HD which was always dead at the end of the day with economical use, the GS3 is a dream come true. with above normal usage and screen brightness on max it barely eats 30%.

i am very satisfied. my daily use for this phone is like this.
Wake up unplug the charger. put on my bluetooth so it connects to my car 40 min ride to work while listening to music from my phone to car. while at work make a tonne of calls, whatsapp, text, sometimes game, use a app called filmon to watch tv, reconnect phone to car and come back let my little sisters play dodgeball for an hour or so and then when i get it back it says connect your charger 10 percent or less left..
Best battery wise phone i ever owned in awhile.. I know this cuz i came from a LG Optimus 3D and oh my god 4 hours battery max even on standby is shyt..
Edit: oops didn't mean to quote you hit the wrong button lol..

Android system used 46% of battery! Ideas?

What's so weird about that? Your device has been on for nearly 8 hours and it's at 73% battery life. You've clearly not been using the device very much in that time, so obviously the system processes will have a higher percentage than anything else.
Exactly the same thing happened with me today. I've never had android system consuming more battery than my screen, and today the android system battery consumption stood at almost 50% (twice that of screen). The tablet was idle for around 12 hours (WiFi off) and the battery fell by around 15%. Never ever happened before.
I upgraded to 4.2 a couple of days back.

Do you use Llama or any other app like that by any chance? I'm just trying to figure out what could be the root cause of this
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
same for me with the new 3g 32gb and 4.2
tablet been on 3 hours and 36 mins done nothing with it and its already used 25% battery
Android OS is at 64%
old 16gb with 4.2 on, same time and just sitting doing nothing only used 3% battery
Android OS at 4%
any thoughts ??
Bob
Haven't been able to figure out the reason unfortunately. If I do, would definitely post on here. Hope you guys would do the same.

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.?

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.

Do you guys have similar averages? (Seen at bottom of image)
