I think my Battery performance is not that good, or it is just my impression?
How is yours? Its normal to be like that?
There's an screenshot.

It just depends on a lot of things, you will need to give more information. Are you running stock or custom rom. What governor are you using? What performance mode? Is your GPS on all the time? Are location access on all the time? is Wifi on all the time? How long did you play temple run? How high was your brightness?
If you have root install the app called betterbatterystats to see more details on what is draining your battery. I usually get 6-10 hrs of screen time, with wifi almost on all the time and off when screen is off. I get about 10hrs with lowest brightness on and using reading apps. Surfing the web and playing games from time to time I can get around 6-7 hrs. 4-5hrs screen time is fine for a gamer.
You're @ 60% and have barely used anything. That's not good at all. You've got drain somewhere, that's not showing. I'm with the person above, get the app he's talking about and find out what's draining your battery and kill it.

well it says his screen is responsible for 93% of the usage.
OP are you at max brightness? and if you were playing games non-stop for those 2 hours, that would suggest a total of about 5 hours of uptime while gaming, which isn't too bad.
what were you doing for those 2 hours?

After so many threads about battery issues I decided to take a plunge and try battery drain. Problem is that I have extended battery and I went from 100 to 1 percent in probably 5 hours but I'm currently at 1% and running with screen "always on" and playing YouTube vidoes in HD and yet it's not going anywhere from 1%. It's been like that for 2 hours now with screen on and youttube playing. Any better ways to drain it?
try tether on too and have a computer use it as wifi router
When I turn the display brightness to 100% it drains my battery crazy fast.

Fastest way is to simply play some of the more hardware intensive games. I find that about 2-3 hours of PSX does the trick.

Turn on gps, wifi, bluetooth, stream music at 100% brightness. Make sure the speaker is being used.

Hey everyone. I ordered my Nexus 10 in late March and just had a question: How much actual battery life do you get out of your N10? I found that I was barely able to get a day out of mine and am awaiting a RMA replacement. I did a Netflix test, where I charged it to 100%, unplugged and played Futurama on Netflix. I got about 5 hours 12 minutes before the device shut off. I have my screen brightness at 50% and no apps that would cause heavy background usage.
That is pretty good battery life for 50% screen brightness. I still cant comprehend why people need their brightness at 50% or even higher though.

Some people like me use their tablet in brightly lit rooms and outside which means in order to see the screen you need to have the brightness cranked. I never use my tablet in dim rooms.
7 hours man. That is too much

What do you have your brightness set to?
I'm on on the 2nd charge cycle, but I got almost 5hrs screen time on last charge with about 30% battery left before putting it on the charger. Pretty good in my opinion.

Mostly web surfing, youtube, gmail, G+ and facebook. Not too intensive, I suppose.
I have all sync on except for facebook and display on auto brightness. I also have a strong wifi signal most of the time.
When my tablet is AT HOME WITH ME instead of off cavorting around Samsung repair centers, its day starts about 6:45am. With all my apps and syncing, it lasts me through a work day and then some, going as late as 11:00pm and still being at 30% battery or more, depending on how much gaming I did.

When I am inside it is at minimum (which is still too bright), outside is between 25-35%
For the people who have really low battery, I have a good hunch that the problem is how much wifi sucks up. When I have wifi on I can feel the tablet is much hotter than normal, which means it is dissipating a lot of power. I suspect that the wifi traffic is the 2nd biggest battery drain for people who are browsing all day, the 1st most being the screen itself.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
It seems there is a common trend with people who have long battery lives - low brightness. My eyesight is pretty bad so I really can't stand setting it any lower than 40%.
I get about 7 hours before it needs a charge and that's mostly browsing with wifi, which sounds around right according to claimed stats by Google. I'm on around 20% brightness, doesn't need to be higher.
About 8 hours, which is a full workday for me, mostly Evernote/webbrowsing/mails - no gaming. I usuall have ~20% left, so there's 1-2 hours more for emergencies.
I just ran both my original and RMA units side by side, factory reset and unrooted on Youtube playing a 10 hour loop video with brightness set to 100% and at 5h 6 minutes my original N10 hit the 15% warning, the RMA a few minutes later....so I feel kind of bad for wasting Googles time.
I think kernel and ROM have something to do with battery as well as WiFi. I have great signal and use 5ghz and I get great battery life with little drain. Before ras came to the n10 I was using cm and got amazing battery on the kernel it came with but horrible life on paranoid (early build). Also the first trinity kernels had poor battery life for me.

I've had it for around a week now but I've yet to get over 6hrs battery life. I keep the display on the dimmest setting, have no bluetooth or anything on apart from wifi. I keep location services and Google Now off and I use it mainly for Internet browsing, you tube and a couple of bejewelled type games for around 10 mins a day. I haven't watched any films on it or played any real heavy duty cpu smashing games at all.
No matter what I do, I just don't get any more than 6hrs before I get the 15% battery warning.
I don't appear to have any wake locks, the battery graph shows that when the display is off, the tablet never seems to be awake.
I installed Better Battery Stats but I don't really understand what to look for.
Can anyone suggest anything before I give Google a call and they tell me factory reset and try again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mind posting a picture of your betterbattery with:
-Partial wake locks since boot
-Other since boot
If you use it like you explained you should be getting more than 6 hours.
I'm using a custom rom and kernel so that might explain why I can idle for an entire day and only lose around 6-8% depending on how many emails I get.
Typically I get around 8 hours of use which includes watching movies over stream, YouTube, flip board, email, xda surfing, and a few other things.

Charge your device to 100% and use your device the way you typically have been. Once you get down to red numbers, post a screen shot of the regular Android system battery usage. That might give a better picture of what's going on.
You can also charge to 100% and disconnect from the charger and let your device idle. Better battery stats is a better tool to use when you aren't using your tablet, and you are experiencing battery drain.
Also, you didn't mention whether you are stock, rooted, or rooted and ROM'ed. Please do that and we can go from there.

You said 6 hours battery life in OP, implying you were getting that battery life for the device... ._.
Congrats. You have a normal device... People may be using screen filter to get those results, but why not just enjoy the screen instead of gimping it for an extra hour or two of dimly viewed screen...It's not too tough to charge it overnight.

And if its really that big an issue, go get KTManta, Franco, or any kernel that lets you reduce the maximum clock from 1.7 to 1.3 or 1.2 GHz. I have benchmarks for the Manta at frequencies ranging from 1.2 to 2.1GHz and there's not a big difference in performance.
Hi all I was wondering how long you usually get on a single charge with the M? I usually have a hard time making it through a day of normal use...

Browsing the net seems to be what drains the battery the fastest.
I do deliveries and use GPS HEAVILY. So 6-7 hours generally if I've been working. It's hard to tell with me because I'm generally charging when possible, but probably 12 on a normal day.
Way better than the Galaxy Nexus, that's all I care about.

10 hours with light use 6 hours with moderate use :crying: i think i need a new battery
10 hours and it's usually around 10-15%. Rarely browse the web and rarely use GPS/NAV. Mostly IM, Twitter, email and a few other apps to a lesser extent...and phone. The screen is on a good bit but I have good charging practices. Had the thing since right after Christmas.
Either others "heavy usage" isn't heavy at all or I'm calling BS on 16-28 hours. Battery life is worse than my last Blackberry and that's saying something.

If you happen to be one of those people, did you calibrated yours? And how do you do it? I heard you have to drain the battery and then charge it back up. Does it work? Or is it just a myth?
They are many variables involved here beyond screen brightness. You are not going to hard core game for 7 hours out do anything that has CPU/GPU running high.
I keep my brightness set to auto.. Half way seems way to bright to get any decent battery life.

About 6 hours of use. If I let it sit I get a day of standby.
Games, Internet, and netflix kill the life for me.
Last week I took it to work and forgot my plug. I watched Netflix on the battery for about 4 and a half hours. It was at 8% when I left.
Avg of 6 seems the norm. /shrug
That seems about right actually at 50% brightness. I keep mine on auto but it is usually at about 10-15% brightness and I can get 6 hours all day long over a bay or two of the charger

From initial setup (battery came at 62%) I let it completely die and then proceeded to do an initial battery charge cycle (charged it for 6 hours). After which I put it on the charger at about 14% which is normally right as I go to bed for regular charge cycles.
As for my battery life, I get an average 8 hours screen time while doing heavy gaming, watching Netflix/Youtube, listening to music, reading, and lastly browsing the web. As for standby time 3 days on battery on average (with Wi-Fi off during Sleep and always scan for Wi-Fi off).
This is with auto-brightness as I've found zero need to adjust it save for a few occasions I had to raise it for a few minutes while outdoors. If you want great battery life, leave the Nexus to it's own devices It knows how to handle it's brightness; very well I might add.
Granted your mileage my vary drastically as my Nexus 7 was flawless when purchased with zero of the known issues. (It also brought me to this lovely forum. )
Realistically you only need like 10-25 percent brightness on this thing at most times. This thing goes really bright.

About 10Hours of battery life.
Get about ten hours of battery life. I have brightness set to half. The real part that was saving me battery is the advanced wifi settings. I set it so that it never searches or keeps wifi on when sleeping. Also manually turn off wifi when I don't have coverage. I use alot of YouTube, internet and Netflix.
