Completely normal. Looks exactly how mine (and my other 4 Galaxy S2's) battery consumption looked.

There's threads open regarding battery issues already pal

You had your screen on for most of that 7-8 hour period, and the phone was awake, doing something. This is totally normal.

How come some say their battery lasts 15 - 20 hours and mine bearly 8 ?
Does yours always hit on the back like mine does ?

Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.
Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.
But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.
But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

Because they are not using theirs as much as you are. Probably

I neglected to mention that my phone is always hot !!
Even if in idle .. does yours like that too ?

Do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.

wow that is exactly what I am doing now too
was charging twice a day for a week and finally got tired. limited my heavy-graphics gaming from 2-3 hours a day to half hour, now 16 and a half hours past charge, I have 5% left and I am starting to think "how the heck do I discharge to 1% quicker so I have time to charge before I leave work tonight"
I have gmail and exchange in push autosync, plus 2 screens of widgets that refresh (weather, news, calendar and mail), 15 minutes of calls, some texts, news reading, picture taking and viewing. Screen was on for 3 hours in this 16.5 hour period.

Unless you are chilling around all day a foot away from a fireplace, this is not normal. It means something is constantly running on the phone and is using the CPU heavily. If you screen is on, it also heats up. Lower screen brightness if you have the screen on for long periods of time.
and if it is rogue apps running in the background, eating CPU cycles - do a factory reset as someone already suggested, and then set up your phone anew, carefully avoiding CRAPWARE and BLOATWARE services and apps.

Started with a fresh load this morning at 5.30 am, working continously with my SGSII, downloaded apps etc., twice clearing with android booster still half batt left when typing this.....
Brilliant, isn't it ?
My HD2 would not make THAT.

looks pretty normal, but you should post your screen-on time to give a better idea to tell your usage for sure. 3-4 hours of screen time and that's normal.

Sensors battery consumption

Is it the same for you guys? Tried to disable everything I thought have a connection to this with no help.
I still get a good battery life (about 4.5 hours of screen on time and about 18 hours of total time before getting to 10% ) but not as good as it was two weeks ago when I got the phone.
Just trying to understand what doing this.

Nexus 4 battery

Hello, I just had a 3hr 30min SOT time with some fairly heavy usage (gaming) on my nexus 4. Is that considered good for the N4 and how could I improve it?

That's pretty normal I guess. I get about 4.5 hrs SOT with browsing, occasional gaming, messaging.. I think there are users getting a lot more than that!
You can try out different ROM+kernel combos to check out how your battery performs..

Nah, I rather not try them out. I like getting ota updates and hate factory resetting hehe. Any other ways to improve battery life without flashing anything or rooting?

Turn off background programs.. Autoruns.. turn brightness down .
Still you are gaming on a phone. How long do you Toni the battery is going to last with your gpu and cpu running full bore?
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!

I can get 5 hours of on screen time during the work day. Using for browsing, txt, light calls. But during a weekend, 4 hours on screen time with heavy use of YouTube, gaming, and calls. I'm also running a custom rom and kernel. When I was stock I could not even get 3 hours of on screen time doing anything.

3.5 hours of SOT is good man. Especially if you were playing games and what not. I usually get the same in a 15 or so hour day. And your stock you say getting almost 4 hours of apt.. That's awesome man. ..
You can turn off a bunch of shat like GPS and BT and auto sync and blah .. But then what's the point of your smart phone..
Two things.. There are other threads about SOT that you could post this.. And don't let these "oh I get 5 hours of sot" guys get to you. Half of them are either lying about the sot or the usage their phone had that day.

Haha, good to hear that my sot is great. plus having all those kernels and Roms might mess up my phone so with stock this sot will be good enough for me. Anyways thanks for your information.

Nexus battery life

Hey guys! So after I bought my n4, I thought of testing the battery. After playing for about 1 and a half hours, watching a 45 minute movie and browsing the Web for about one hour or maybe two, it finally died. What do you think of it?

very normal.
battery life will all depend on your setup(rom/kernel/apps), your phone signal, and your personal use. most people see between 2.5 and 4.5 hours, while a few see quite a bit more, 4-7 hours

Yeah its very normal...While consuming heavy multimedia, your n4 is sure to be dead within 3-4 hours...
I played GTA 3 with lowest resolution and it drained 10% of my battery in 20 min!
Guess what would hav happened if i maxed out the performance!!!

very bad standby time ..

Hi i'm loosing about 4% in 5hours in standby .. is that normal ? My signal is very good ! i'm using only whatsapp and some games.. Sync is disabled , location too .. I don't understand why i loose like 1% every hour ... my phone was litteraly on my desk and didn't move !

1% battery drain in 1 hour.. I think it's okay..

It's perfect. What do you expect from a quad processor and a lot of sensors? That's about 100 hours or 4 days of stand by time. It's really ok, you have no reason to worry. Enjoy your Smart-phone!

With my nexus 5 everything stock which has a bad reputation with battery life, standby time was something like 0.33% for 1 hours ! (same configuration as my S5, sync off/location off/almost same app) i was loosing 2-3% over night.. that's why i'm worried

Screen on time is a huge difference though. I had a Nexus 5 too.
