after cyanogenmod update 506

I get horrible performance. Horrible battery life. My nexi is always hot. ALWAYS. It hasn't cooled down once. Idk but I'm really sad. Anyone else experiencing a horrible time?

im sorry to say no, im also on cm 5.0.6 test 3 with insectraven AVS kernal and perfomance is great, and temps are between 20 and 25*C.

Works fine for me.

Did you guys wipe data and cache?

no, i just updated straight from 5.0.5.3, if your coming from another rom, or u getting trouble try deleting the cache.

Bad battery life here as well.

explain bad battery life, im getting 2 days light usage, with gprs on all time, and screen at lowest setting. and using setcpu profiles.

i tried Cy's for about 10m before flashing back to enom's, so i can't say anything about battery life, lol

2 days isn't possible on the nexus. Are you using 3G? Most peoples standby drops 5% in an hour.

2 days is possible, as i use only gprs, only, and i also stated light usage, which means not pulling my phone out my pocket every 5 mins, to burn battery juice on the screen. also at night i turn APNdroid on and terminate all data traffic.

i can go two days also on my n1 i used my phone with head phones for about 5 hours and about 16 hours i still had 50% battery life left with cyanogen 5.3 not his new one. have not flashed it yet but when i do all let you now how it does

low brightness and only gprs? thats like putting your n1 in a walker.

Ya. Honestly Idk what's wrong with the rom but I'm gonna go to sense for a couple hours.
Hopefully this thread will build and there could be a possible trend. My phone is constantly at like 98-101°F And since my last post my battery went from 63% down to 39. Barely any usage.

That seems a bit too high.
My phone was unplugged from charger 5 hours ago and my battery shows me 88% (light use: few calls, some internet and emails. GPS, 3G, and Sync is on.)

Atrix Battery life

How is everyone's battery life... I think I came in overhyped by some reviews like engadget's praising the battery life of this phone but in reality haven't been too impressed.
I have to change how I use my phone in order to make it through the day... I did cone from an iphone 4 though...

Give it a day or so. My initial full charge barely lasted a few hours. My next one, though, lasted 12+ hours with pandora running, and the screen on half the time.

Give it a little time. Battery and phone both need to calibrate their readings. I got ~7 hours with display on today (1.5 hours browsing, 5+ hours movie).

Got my phone a few days ago. Last night I went to bed at 12 and didn't plug in my phone, it had 50% remining. I woke up at 11 am and the phone was dead. I charged it to full, now its reporting 30% at 11 hours later. This is with night mode on and I barely touched the phone today, maybe 20 texts max. The thing using most of the battery is phone idle.

This I too noticed. Uses too much battery when idle. I will charge to 100% and see how it fares while I sleep.

I plan on leaving mine unplugged for the night as well. I wonder why this phone idle is using so much battery though.

1) this is like the 10th battery thread. Many answers can be found in the others.
2) Yes. Your battery needs to calibrate over time.
3) Android users more battery when on because of all the things it syncs with in the background: weather, mail, maps, etc.
4) again due to it's syncing it uses more in the background. To find out what dial *#*#info#*#* and look at the battery stats of what had been running. Look at Other Usage especially.

What size does your battery say on the actual battery? I thought it is advertised with 1930 but mine says 1850.

Mine says 1880/1930 mAh (min/typ).
My battery seemed on the lower side of average when I first got it and then it got a lot better after a couple days.

Download Green Power in the Market. Insane improvement. I've used it on my Nexus One (Atrix is coming tomorooow!! for a month now and I've gone 50-60% plus on duration.

I have been running slacker and just web browsing for approx 1.5 hours and am down from 100% to 70%... This is after about four days of nightly charging. I am running green power too with no wifi managment. I have gps etc off. The battery analysis shows that the display is using 80% of the juice. Is any of this normal or is something wrong here?
Sent from my Atrix

The Atrix's battery is the best battery in an Android phone I've used to date. I just left Sprint and thought the Epic 4G's battery was decent. After using this for a few days, I realize that the battery in this thing is AWESOME!
While we were with Sprint, my wife had the EVO 4g and now has the Inspire 4G. NONE of these phone hold a candle to the battery life of the Atrix.

So i left mine unplugged over night again, just tried to turn it on and i got "Modem did not power up (0). Starting RSD protocol support. Battery is too Low to flash.

battery info and network searching
First post here and I'm not a developer but have some feedback for this. Couldn't share without registering first. Won't be a pest.
Had the battery issue with the atrix and called att. The suggested a microcell booster as i was only getting one bar here (H+) at home. The store in San Diego gave me one for free and I installed it and have been off the charger for well over 24 hours now and at 50%. granted I'm not using it much as I have computer at home too. However, just sitting on the table before the booster and it would be at 50% in 4 hours.
Went to the laguna mountains in the middle of nowhere two days ago and it had edge network only. The battery lasted all day and night. The drive out there had H+ and edge in the middle of the cleavland nat forest.
If the atrix is searching for networks it uses battery like crazy.
Also tech support said there was no way to force edge connectivity on the atrix. There has been a code suggested here (I don't recall it now) that is supposed to do it but it is only for international use.

Where you browsing on Wlan or Mobile? If your signal isn't good enough it'll obviously eat the battery much faster.

battery life much better than EVO or Epic and EVEN the Droid X. Better than my cousin's iPhone 4 as well. Really great.

I have been using the mobile connection. Havent used gps or wifi. I do only have 2 bars in my house. Can low signal really account for this massive drain. Display still says over 80% use. Now I have been unplugged for 3 hours and I am down to 40%. This cant be right...

Of course!! Your phone is constantly looking for stronger signal & you're browsing at the same time, that certainly accounts for big portion of your battery usage

SNS battery dead in 6 hrs or less.

I am posting for a friend that has a SNS. The couple of days he has been draining the battery in about 6 hrs. I looked at the battery usage and it said that the display was at 60% and the graph shows a constant fail of power. I checked and he has the screen set to auto brightness and the screen times out at one minute. The only other thing that I cna think of is that he has poor cell coverage but we are using wifi in that location which his phone is connected to. I understand that poor cell coverage causes power drains but with the major of his data going through the wifi one would think that the cell power drain would be minuscule. Thanks in advance.

It depends on how weak. Data is not going to route over the cellular network, but it will try to maintain a connection for things like calls. Thus the phone will attempt to maintain a connection to the tower unless airplane mode is enabled or the cellular radio is otherwise disabled.
If the signal is really weak then the gain is going to be automatically adjusted to try to boost the signal - this is going to cause an increase in power used, sometimes substantially. If you spend most of the day in this situation then you don't have many options currently if you want to receive calls on the phone (you could look at a SIP solution).
If you don't care about receiving calls just turn on airplane mode and then toggle wifi on.

You need to provide screen on time and awake time. If he just got the phone and is using it a lot.... well then six hours is not bad for an android phone.

Not really. Maybe 6 hours continuous use, something like 3 hours display at 20-50% and 3 hours talk time; that would be normal. But 6 hours low-medium use points out that something is indeed wrong.

60% display means the phone was on and actively used for over 3 hours. That's a fair bit but isn't too much really, but it depends on what else is running durng that time. As mentioned, awake time is also important because it means the phone is actively working at something even though the screen is off. He may have a rogue app that he installed sucking power. Or simply leaving the web browser on a webpage with a regular refresh cycle will cause the browser to continue to run in the background keeping the phone awake while the screen is off. I've gotten in the habit of going back to the google home page when I'm done browsing to make sure it's on a "dead" page.
Anywho, more details are needed to figure it out. Just saying it's only using 60% display isn't enough to find out why the phone only lasts 6 hours. Mine lasts between 24-48 hours depending on usage from heavy to moderate. With light usage I figure the battery would last 3-4 days, but I'm not that light of a user and I generally top up every night anyway as it's better to top up a Li-Ion battery than let it run down all the time.

Huh???
When it says "What's been using the battery" and it says "Display........ 60%"
that just means that the display is responsible of 60% of the battery drain that has occurred since last boot.
For example, if you were at 100%, then turned your phone on for 5 minutes and scrolled back and forth on homescreens, lets say your batter went down to 95%. Well, if 2.5% of that 5% loss is from display, and 2.5% is from Android System, then when you check the battery screen it's going to say "What's been using the batter?"....... Display - 50%; Android system - 50%.
If you did the same thing for 4 hours, and the battery drained down to 20%, you might still see...... Display 50%, Android system - 50%.
In other words, the % has nothing to do with how long the phone has been on.

also if screen on time is 3 to 4 hours, yes the battery will be very low by then.

Thank you all for the advice. As I said this is my friends phone. i don't see him using it a lot we are both programmers so we use a computer for most everything, and we have both our phones on wifi because of the terrible cell signal. I will ask him to try and keep up with everything he does to see his use patterns to see how much he is really using the phone. I will post later on what apps are running and his amount of use. The main reason I am not sure is because this has just started happening with in the last week. We have been in the same location for 6 months and it has just now become a problem.

Hmm...ok that kinda helps, but it doesn't really explain what's happening when it uses that setting. I know that PRL means preferred roaming list, and GSM Auto means it selects automatically, but how it selects and why it uses less battery is what I want to know.

[Q] What am I doing wrong? (N4 Battery Life)

I've had this phone for around week (off craigslist so it's been broken in) and I can't seem to get any sort of good battery life from this device. I mean yeah it's ok, max I've gotten is 2.5 hours sot with 10-12 hr standby.
This screen is from today so far. I'm already down to 40% and not even at 2 hrs sot yet. What's going on? I've tried Franco's kernel, fauxs kernel, and now I'm on matr1x kernel. (all with undervolting) I've tried carbon, stock, and now I'm on rasenjb.
I don't think I'll ever get to these 5 and 6 hour sot times with a day and a half of standby everyone is getting.. I bought this device because of how good the battery life I saw everyone was getting and it's been a big disappointment so far. I've tried almost everything and that's why I made this thread. Does anyone have any suggestions?

That's because everyone liked to install custom kernels, underclock, never use their phone like a normal phone and then claim 5 hours SOT which is total BS.
Expect 10-12 hours with 3 hours SOT, that's normal. I've gotten way better than that but only when connected to Wifi and almost no actual phone calls. Anytime you're on the cellular network expect 10-12 hours tops

I've seen a lot of screen shots with 4hrs + though. I guess it's only achievable on WiFi. I'm on HSPA+ for 8 hours of the day and then I come home and there's WiFi. So I'm guessing data is draining my battery throughout the day like a hog. Maybe I'll try out that screen off 2G mod that I saw. Thanks for your input!

Don't be hating because you are in a poor signal area. I get 6hrs sot on wifi and at least 4hrs on hspa+. If you are in an area that is a weaker signal, like 3g and edge with only one bar, sot will be less. I am stock rooted, including kernel. If a person doesn't use the phone the battery will last a long time, but the sot will also be low. For example, 24hrs of battery life with only one hour of sot pretty much means the phone was just laying there and barely used. On the other hand, 10hrs of battery life with 5hrs of screen time means the phone was used much and faired good. Apart from sot, cell signal is the biggest battery drainer. When I go to my sis-in-laws, which is a very weak area, my battery steadily drains with my phone just in my pocket. *edit* I should also note, when at home on wifi, I'm also on my Microcell, so I always have a strong signal.

I usually get between 2.5 and 3.5 hours screen on time. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. You can use better battery stats to diagnose and try to kill unnecessary wakelocks. And yes you can under clock and sacrifice functionality, but rest assured 5-6 hours sot is not typical, even if some people can achieve it on a regular basis.

Yeah! Its true. Poor signal make your phone drain more battery.
If in your carrier the 2G signal is better than 3G. Set the phone to use only 2G network. (GSM)
Put this in the phone app: *#*#4636#*#* and see the difference.

You're not talking about real world usage. Nobody uses their phone like that. It's people like you that come into threads where regular users with genuine concerns and questions get ridiculed by some guy who has his "phone" set up like some friggin science project talking about 5-6 hours SOT.
Google Search: Nexus 4 poor battery life
About 12,600,000 results (0.19 seconds)
Google Search: Galaxy S3 poor battery life
About 6,310,000 results(0.24 seconds)
^that's half of the results and the S3 has been out way longer with millions more users/owners
Obviously the Nexus 4 has a sub-par battery for today's standards. Case closed.
I answered his question with real life facts, and you're in here spinning fairy tales feeding a delusion that he can go about using his phone like a normal person and get 5-6 hours SOT.
So yeah, you're lying IMO.
Having a poor signal doesn't cut SOT by 4 hours.

Yes, I forget, I'm not using my phone in the real world when I'm working on my science project. Lol. Sorry buddy, but I did unlock my bootloader and root in order to transfer app data from my previous phone, but I am running the stock rom, even odexed version, and stock kernel. I have syncing, nfc, wifi, and gps always enabled. The only thing I don't keep on is Google Now because I don't use it. If you bothered to look closely at the screen shots, you would see the constant strong signal due to my Microcell. When on a weaker cellular signal, it cuts into my sot. I use a Microcell because without it, I get a really crummy signal, so I know firsthand what battery drain is like. And as I stated, on cellular only, I get 4-5hrs screen time, worse if I'm in a really poor location. Idk where you get this 4hr difference from.

I uninstalled facebook. Also Google maps, Google search and most of the other common battery drainers are on greenify. I've come to the conclusion that my mobile data radio is the biggest drainer. Would upgrading my radio offer a more efficient battery life? (I've never upgraded a radio on any of my devices before)

It probably is low signal strength killing your battery, I should have thrown in the fact that 90% of the time I have full signal. Flashing a radio is no biggie, just dont be stupid about it and kill power halfway through the flash. No need to wipe anything either. I think i saw some recovery flashable ones around here, but i like to use fastboot whenever possible. .48 is the latest official radio, with .54 coming from an international white n4. I'm on .48 and holding off until .54 becomes official before deciding to test it out, since .48 is golden for me. Test all of them, older doesnt mean worse and some people have better luck with the older radios.

It may not be relevant to your experience, but I was disappointed initially in N4's battery life too. Even after dialing down most automatic syncing, being very conservative with screen brightness, and other standard measures.
I installed wake lock detector. In my case, Dropbox was at the top of the list, with an inordinate # of system wake ups.
Turned out a copy of Dropbox on another machine on the same network was, with the 'LAN Sync' option enabled by default, sending out gobs of wake-on-lan packets and was waking up the N4 very often; something that would happen even without Dropbox on the N4, presumably.
Disabling Dropbox's LAN sync seemed to bump my battery life ~20-30%.

Google told me 10 - 12 hours continuous useage. I haven't had anything like that from mine.

It probably is low signal strength killing your battery, I should have thrown in the fact that 90% of the time I have full signal. Flashing a radio is no biggie, just dont be stupid about it and kill power halfway through the flash. No need to wipe anything either. I think i saw some recovery flashable ones around here, but i like to use fastboot whenever possible. .48 is the latest official radio, with .54 coming from an international white n4. I'm on .48 and holding off until .54 becomes official before deciding to test it out, since .48 is golden for me. Test all of them, older doesnt mean worse and some people have better luck with the older radios.

Thanks for the info! How do I check which radio version I have?

Why are you fairies arguing?
I got my n4 yesterday and battery seems decent. I was listening to spotify while driving and spent about 1.5 hours in the gym listening to it as well. Also throughout the day was messaging, Facebook, twitter etc. Not heavily, but every once in a while. I'm satisfied.

HTC battery life going to crap

So... I was getting 4 1/2 hours on auto brightness... Now this is from 100% charge and me turning auto brightness off and setting the brightness at 0...
No heavy gaming, strong signal...
I have heard that deep cycling this battery is not recommended but this is BAD... I am totally stock running T-Mo .11 firmware.
I am tempted to deep cycle but I've seen people do that and the battery goes kaput for good so I don't know.

And as you can see, power saver is on as well. Something isn't right...
And the WiFi radio is so atrocious that I always use mobile data so that isnt it...

looks normal app usage 95% but i thought you would gain more battery if brightness is at 0
use grenify and to limit app usage as i'm guessing you have a lot of unnecessary apps calling for data in background
and 4g is known to drain use wifi when possible

If you think that's bad see my battery life, it's atrocious. In standby overnight, my battery drains about 9%, worse than my old iPhone 4. I can barely get 3.5 hours of screen on time. But I still love the phone though.

The problem is that the WiFi antenna in the One is so bad that I die at 3 hours. And if I go in the bathroom, the phone freezes of I get a call.
There are some serious radio bugs with this device. Like the 45 second handshake from 4G to LTE (S4 is 5 seconds max) - doesn't usually cause a problem but for some reason T-Mobile drops from LTE to 2G within 10 seconds on the phone unless it is locked to WCDMA only in my area (we are blanketed in HSPA here in Denver, we are two blocks from the Capitol!) but then takes 30 seconds after a call to go on HSPA then another 45ish to get back on LTE, sometimes 2-3 minutes!
As for WiFi, both my S3 in an Otterbox Defender and my old S4 (given to roommate,long story) get WiFi all the way to the elevator. The One can't even make it to the toilet :/
