Hello guys i know thats my first thread in xda and that tread maybe looks noobish to you but i wanted to ask how is your Battery life with the OTA 4.3 update on nexus 4 i personaly installed
the update with fastboot and factory image as soon as it got realesed and until then i havent charged it yet.I ve seen some vids on yt surfed the
net and played some nfs most wanted by the way the battery status now is at 10% So how is yours ?
Was on OTA update til acouple minutes and from what I could tell, I felt my battery life last longer compared to stock 4.2.2 and slightly less than Franco's

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.

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.
Maybe you can look at this:

I agree with kilometers4. Better battery stats & cpu spy work well. I also suggest you download a battery calibration app. When I updated to Jelly Bean on my S3, the battery life sucked. But once I calibrated for a few cycles, it's great now. Same for my Nexus 7.
try switching to official CM10.1. Im getting 9hrs screen on time with it

I'm gonna hafta concur with this guy. However, I was having the same problem.
I used my keyboard to type into the search bar "bad battery life",
I looked at some similar titled threads and decided to look through this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783390&page=3&highlight=nexus+7+not+charging
I followed the directions.
I did profit.
Next time use the search bar, and don't get butthurt when someone teases you a little. It's called the internet get used to it. And your a senior member you should know that.
When my nexus was brand new, i also had a few battery issues. But got it fixed after fully discharging the device a few times. Make sure it charges to 100% inbetween.

I find it kinda strange you only getting 3 hours out of it. On my Nexus 7 I can get little over 24 hours on a full charge. That's with basic web surfing, xda app, twitter and few YouTube videos.
Course if I do something more demanding like playing games I get less runtime on the battery.

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

This is True, most People getting 10hrs screen time with 3days on are not using 3g data and no sync and so on, everything is depending on how you use your Phone even when you don't use it.

My battery life went down after the update, all else being equal. Would a factory reset really help? I'd have to do one anyways to revert I guess.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

SOT is really subject to usage. With a lot of gaming, you could see 2 hours or less. Also has a lot to do with your signal if you're not on Wifi. 3 hours isn't bad, and doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with your phone or ROM. I've personally never gotten much more than that.

Agreed. No need to RMA, need to get another phone
People with much longer times don't use it as a smartphone, believe me!
Also, we can see that your signal reception isn't good, and that for sure will hit the battery time hard!

Hey guys I am running the latest Paranoid Android with Francos latest kernel and my battery life is horrid.
If I get one hour of screen on time I am lucky. I am using custom color collaboration with the kernel and I am curious if this is playing a role.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Colors on the Nexus 4 doesn't affect battery life.
Most likely it's your apps that are draining your battery life. Turn off services like Bluetooth and GPS and WiFi.
Install wake lock detector to see what apps are eating your battery juice. Low signal or bad service can affect battery life as well.

why dont you use an older kernel and see, r111 was the best kernel i got with battery life.
I had nothing but problems with Franco kernel. My phone wouldn't charge unless it was on AC for one.

I'm getting really sucky battery life on the MIUI 5 rom latest as of 2/7/13. Anyone else getting bad battery life on this? I've had a look at betterbatterystats and it's not really listing anything as keeping the phone awake. Went from 95% to 75% in 4 hours (I know that doesn't sound so bad but I wasn't doing anything with the phone, just had a couple of messengers on it - Trillian and Steam)
You need to figure out what is keeping your phone awake. On Franco kernel I have very little drain when just using messenger etc. I would think you have a rogue app or something causing issues.

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.
