Ouch ... bump charge it and wipe battery stats in recovery. Or maybe even do a fresh install. Sometimes that will fix it

Stop spreading that freaking lie. Wiping the battery stats doesn't do anything. Besides it is wiped every time the phone is charged to 100%. Don't believe me. Look it up, a Google engineer has posted this along time ago.

Darn.. really? Then CWM should take this out in the features

WIping battery stats is useful when installing a new ROM, so it can measure battery capacity better (extreme tl;dr version). Install BetterBatteryStats and look for unusual wakelocks and processes. Report back with what causes the issue and we will see. If you could include screenshots of BBS, that would be the best
You don't get it do you? It is wiped when you install a ROM. It is WIPED when you charge to 100%. The batterystats.bin has no effect what so ever on your wake locks, battery problems, or anything else you think it is related to. All it does is report to the settings what has been using the battery.

You know there are nicer ways to tell someone that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything . If it doesn't do anything than it shouldn't be in the options...period. I was trying to be helpful and offer a suggestion..and it couldn't hurt to try.
.. so whats your suggestion so no more "lies" get spread??
CWM is largely generic, so the Battery Wipe option is there whatever device. It is a waste of Dev. time to remove/customise for every device.
It doesn't do anything... in this case. It may on other devices.
But this is largely OT now... so back in the room.
It doesnt do anything for any device. A long time ago it was thought to do something. But a Google Engineer said otherwise pubically.

Guys just experienced something that this battery drain only happens to me only on Sammy jb roms and not on cm10 so is there any fix for it?????????

Check that android.process.media is not running and consuming 20% of CPU cycles. This process always runs when you restart the phone as it scans the phone's internal and external SD card for media files.

Seems like all the threads i read that mention this problem the user is running Omega rom 2.x.. Maybe its something the dev as added into the rom that is causing it to kill your battery..
Got. The solution just changed the kernel. To stock and everything is as good as it was

Phone restarting itself?

Has this happened to anyone? Just started happening today for me after I flashed factory ROM for the second time. Do you think it's the device or software issue?

You using HD Widget app by any chance?
.....yes lol. Did that widget cause your phone to reboot too?

My phone has rebooted twice and that is the only widget I'm using. I'm on rooted stock rom. A few other people said it was that app that caused the Nexus 7 to reboot so I'm guessing it's the same reason for our phone. I haven't used the widget for 3 days now and no rebooting since.
Overheating?
I had been watching Netfilx on my Nexus 4 using mobile data and my phone just restarted by itself. I was also charging it at the time, after it reset, I checked the temp. and it was at 102 f. I'm not sure why this happened, but it is the second time while I was using Netfilx, I didn't check the temp the first time... I'm starting to get worried, is it just me? Is it just because the phone is doing too much? Am I alone in this?

Randomly crashing after 4.3 update!

My Nexus 4 just started randomly started crashing after the 4.3 update ... Anyone having the same issue?? Please help...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Hmm. the Nexus 4 I'm using doesn't have that issue. Sounds like you have an app incompatibility with Android 4.3. I would suggest combing your apps, or doing a factory reset.

yups even i found the issue of random crash in 4.3 (stock update, no root, no unlocked bootloader)
It crashed while using Skype and Gallery.
Chrome randomly crashed on a sandboxed_process:0 with crash type Native Crash.

In three days I've had the phone reboot three times, all within the first hour after unplugging it. Twice it rebooted while I wasn't using it and once while sending an email. I'm completely stock and did a factory reset yesterday.

The exact same thing happened as well.. How did the factory reset affect the performance?
Thanks

I fixed my snapchat issue by clearing my snapchat data and cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app!

System_server

After upgrading to 4.4.2, I noticed a massive battery drain, and then noticed that in BBS system_server is taking quite a lot, any ideas what it is and how to stop it?

Change settings in some apps how frequent they should update. For example, update every 6 hours and change settings in Location to device only that might help. On my phone, I had a battery drain to zero just overnight. I disabled Google+ because I do not use it and in Google Play Services turn location off. I also wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery and the battery drain stops.

I already switched off location, and disabled most unused apps, yet the drain is still here. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Wrong screen.
To check what is draining your system, select in first tab: Partial Wakelocks.

What I meant is not an off screen battery drain, rather it is an onscreen battery drain that is far more quicker than 4.3, with my phone under normal usage having a maximum of like 1.5 hours of on screen time even though idle drain is low.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
And I am telling you that this doesn't prove anything.
At same screen, I have much more use for system server in comparison to you, but in real life there is no problem.
So, don't worry about this.

Another battery life thread

How can I tell if I have a wake lock or a battery issue? I have wakelock detector installed and I check my battery stats. It says in the lat 3 hrs I used 28%but I haven't done that much. I probably used the phone for about 15 min total . resetting didn't help. I left home at 7am with 100% its 1140am and I'm at 65%. I know Kik is running but I havent used it much. Also my on screen time is almost 2hr hrs but I haven't been using the phone. Its sitting on a desk and the screen isn't turning on .

Kik is first thing I would remove.
I had installed Kik on all of my Android devices at home to kik with my daughter but this app was a battery killer. Happened on every device I installed.
I cannot believe that the Kik's creator hasn't fixed this issue yet.
Anyway, stop using Kik since.
Also
a. try to disable Knock On/Off feature.
b. try not to use Location Access
When u say location access you are referring to GPS? I have everything on this phone turned off , I greenyfied just about everything I could and I froze everything that's been listed in debloat threads. The battery life was pretty good before the past 3 days and I haven't installed anything. Reboot doesn't help
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Also is it possible for the battery to drain out quicker after rooting, greenifying and freezing things because whenever I do all this on a device it seems like the batteries drain faster than stock
