i was charging my phone and it went from 1% to 14% within 3 mins! is this something that can be caused by dirty flashing (i'm on the latest PA)? this happened a few weeks ago, i reset to factory and installed PA, but it's happened again now. not sure if hardware issue and i should do an RMA
It's fine. There a small battery bug that inputs the wrong value. No need to RMA.

Hey guys.
I have had a Nexus 7 since the end of July and I love it! However, recently I have been experiencing a weird problem with my battery. Normally, after a full charge I can get about 6 full days in just standby or about 5 if I use it for a considerable amount of time. What has happened recently is that my Nexus has dropped the battery percentage by a lot at completely random times. Like for instance, Friday night it was at about 15% when I left it. Now normally it'll only drain a few percentage points while in standby. I came home about 4 hours later to find it completely dead. That has never happened before. It gets weirder. Last night I went to bed with it at about 85% remaining. I woke up about 6 hours later and was surprised to see that it drained to 55% in just standby! Then after it drains a large amount, it goes back to normal standby behavior. (It is at 53% as I write this)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Have you checked which apps are running in the background? Did you install any new apps around the time your issues began?

Sorry for the late reply. I have not installed anything new. I will see if it happens again. So far, it has not.
Thanks!
A quick update on a weird bug I encountered in the N4 yesterday. I was outside and got home with my battery at around 50%. I plugged the phone in and look away for a couple of minutes and when I looked back at the phone and the battery was at 100%(!).
I knew this couldn't be right so I checked the battery graph and it showed a steep jump from 50 to 100 in a matter of minutes. I did a phone restart and the battery was back to the correct level and went back to charging normally. Unfortunately I forgot to screenshot the battery graph and after the reset the graph was reset as well.
Could this bug be one of the reasons why certain users are reporting very bad battery lives on the N4? I can imagine that if I had not been paying attention with the charging and just took the phone out to use later, the battery would have seemed to drop very quickly. How commonly could it happen even; has anyone else seen it?
This happened to me last night. I plugged it in to charge and it said the battery was at 100

This happened to me only once. I jumped from 1% to 100% in a minute I was like no way this thing charges that fast lol

Does seem like it is a common problem then. Better keep an eye out on the battery when charging it.

Add me to the list, a reboot after I observed the nano second charge to full capacity didn't even make it display properly. I didn't try a hard reboot however.
Not selling my GN just yet.
I've had my nexus 4 for about 6 months and started having battery problems about 2 months back. My phone would just get worse and worse as time went on. It would randomly die when the battery was at 40% and would only get 2 hours of sot. Later it got worse and died at 70% getting only about 1 hour of sot. Now it got to the point where its unusable without a charger, if I unplug it the phone will last for 30 minutes max and then shut down. When I try to reboot it after it dies like this it boots up and instantly dies after about 5 seconds. Sometimes the phone reboots while it is plugged into the charger, while unplugged the phone instantly dies if I take a photo especially with flash. I tried resetting the battery by unplugging it and plugging it back. I noticed that the battery has expanded in size, even making my back cover not flat anymore. My question is if I replace the battery will this solve my problems? Here is a few screenshots of my battery stats:

Replace the battery ASAP or RMA the device for a new one. Those are all telltale signs of a bad battery, especially the swelling. Strange that it happened so early though.

Hello mates,
About the Battery.
2 days ago I flashed the 4.3 factory image, I slept yesterday night and the phone was on 43% of battery at 1:00 am. When I woke up 9:15 am today's morning, I found that the battery in JUST 4% !!!!
could you guess the problem here ?
I never used Hangouts, nor Google now.
By the way , I'm using STOCK ROM with FRANCO KERNEL.
If I'm not mistaken, before the phone powered off, the screen on time was 47% ( 2 hours ), Phone Idle 6%, and Cell standby was in 9%.

Strange but, your problem is probably only due to the software, maybe you didn't wipe cache or dalvik or just had a bad install, although if its persistent like mine replace the battery

I've been having strange battery drain issues, so I decided to use the factory images to restore the nexus 7 and I've booted up with 100%, connected to my WiFi network, no Google account entered, and let it sit and idle overnight.
After 8 hours I'm down to 56%. Which is roughly 5% per hour with zero apps installed. Is this normal or should I get it replaced?

Not normal for me, after my first full charge I got a full 3 days on battery with 5 1/2 hours of on screen time. Connected to WiFi and streaming sync on twitter.

compared to my tablet, it's not normal at all.
Damn... Figured as much. Time to return it to best buy.
Seems like a defected battery to me. Good luck with your new replacement
I`m having the same problem with 2 new (2013) 32 GB Nexus 7`s.
Terrible stand-by battery life. I started this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394813
Please let me know if the replacement tablet is any better
You definitely have an issue. Mine sat for 4 days, 5 hours and 34 minutes, WiFi on (Android OS - 26%, Tablet Idle - 24%, WiFi - 22%, Google Services - 16%) and only went from 100% - 54%.
Good and bad news.
Good: got it replaced and it's much better. Only dropped 2% over 9 hours idle.
Bad: this replacement has light bleed at the top. The other one had none.
I installed CM 10.2 last night. Left my tablet unplugged overnight. This morning: After 9hrs on battery, my battery went from 100% and stayed on 100%!! Wow! Now we're cooking. That's with Airplane mode off as well.
Good to see you here freeza!

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed high battery drain on LMY48M?
Since the update my battery doesn't seem to be lasting the day if I have mobile data on and I use it occasionally. Basically unplug at 7:30am and by 3pm I need to start charging it. There's no obvious process draining it.
I did replace the battery 5 weeks ago and was working fine. Well into 20+ hours with use. Then not long after the update I noticed this issue.
Any thoughts on what could do?
Edit: Should have used the search (noob mistake I know) it's obviously an issue most are seeing on this build.
Are there any recommendations on Kernels to switch to, seraphore (sic) I've seen mentioned.
I'm always wary of updates in case something detrimental happens, but I recently updated to 48M and have seen no adverse effects. Phone on since 6:30 and still at 60%. Definitely no battery drain here.

Strangely enough it's behaving today. Had a SOD last night, cleared my cache and so far 12hrs since 100% and I've got 43% to go, reckons another 8 hours. This is with my usual usage.

Fingers crossed you've sorted it. 14 hours since 100% here and still have 45%. 12 hours to go. And to think I was considering replacing it with a 5X! [emoji50]
