Yes. If it doesn't improve, try installing a custom kernel.

Ya that's usually the case, I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and found the battery life to be better than expected off the bat, and it's been improving ever since.

How's everyone's battery life? My Nexus 4 loses about 3% a minute on 4G...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Depends on how much I use the phone. I've gone 36 hours without a charge but that was a slow day of use for me.
Under extreme use, I've charged 2 times in a day lol. That quad core can really suck up the poower

[Q] How is everyone's battery life after a few weeks?

Hey guys, prospective owner here, want to know how people are finding the battery life after a few weeks of owning the phone now. And is there a likelihood we will see google patch it in the near future to fix some issues?
Mines pretty good and I usually get 4 hr screen time and like 17 hr on battery so yep not to bad I did about 3 charge cycles on it but yep.

Ah that's not too bad at all is that on stock rom and kernal? I would say I use aout 2-3 hours of screen on time in a day. Any experience with the Note 2? Having to chose between the two
I suggest checking the battery life thread

One of these days, someone will make a phone and everyone will rejoice at the satisfactory battery, the good screen, the awesome camera, the no-lagginess, the perfectly tuned speaker.... Ad infinitum....

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.

I faced the same , but after i rooted and flashed franco's kernel, im getting around 22hr on normal usage ,10-11 hr on heavy usage not to mention almost 2 days when phone is idle.
Keep in mind that after an update or a ROM flash or what ever changes are made.. Battery life can suffer for a good week or so. This GS like media scanner and other services will be running more in the background.

Thanks!

Battery Life

Hi this is my battery life, what do you think? I think it's not that great considering that screen time is only about 80 minutes. I am using. Maxwen rom. What's your average battery life with the oppo? I am really disappointed with mine

I'd say your expecting too much. I wish I could get that much life lol.
