well recently i upgraded to android 4.3 by OTA and i have no problem just i notice a huge battery draining by hangout when I was using it and then it happened with google chrome.. they even had more battery usage than screen on even! is it happening for everyone or its just something for me?!
It is larger then the screen because you did not use the screen much.
Chrome is draining battery by using the sandbox process, you may force stop it.

Battery drain stop after it.

Is anyone else experiencing very bad battery life? I use it for five minutes and it drops 5%... Am I doing some
Thing wrong?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Welcome to life of the S4. No youre not doimg anything wrong. The best thing I can suggest is using Juice Defender, and a Task Manager. Turning mobile data off when not in use, screen brightness at about halfway. I can squeez about 20 hours out of this phone with moderate use this way.

You're doing something wrong if it drops one percent per minute
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You could give the new qualcomm battery app a shot... takes a few days to read your usage then starts adjusting things like app sync times etc to save your battery.
I just started trying it out. Looks promising.

Battery life is like the only good thing about the galaxy s4. I'm so disappointed with the lag and the overall performance of the phone. But battery life lasts me the whole day. I have the At&t galaxy s4.
What's the app called?

From my personal experience with it, it keeps waking up my phone when it goes into deep sleep. It wastes more battery by constantly waking it than it saves me.

When you restore your phone, are you restoring all the apps? One bad app is all it takes. you should reset to stock, and not install any apps. Then when you see that it runs ok, install one at a time as you test.
Not sure who has lag issues, but my phone rocks. No lag here and battery life is great.
No lag here, at all... My best for battery is 3 days, with 4 and a half hours screen-time...

Keep in mind there are lots of variables at work.
Wifi vs. Cell data - Turn on Wifi and battery usage goes down a LOT - if you are in a wifi area all the time. Cellular data is a battery pig.
Weak signal area - another battery pig - i have had phones drain in 8 hours doing nothing if i had poor reception
Usage mix - Your 2.5 hours of screen time, could be good if you have screen at high brightness and are streaming cellular data (movie) and if you are also syncing email, facebook, and everything else in the background.
If you do all your data by Cellular, then 4 hours of screen time will probably be your limit. It is hard to tell if you have a wake lock issue or not, as we don't know anything else about your usage, apps that are frozen, gestures on/off, etc.

What does the next screen show - when you tap on the graph - it will show screen on time and wake time.
And do you have power save mode on?
My nexus 4 has horrible battery drain and gets INSANELY hot when I'm doing things like browsing and using twitter apps etc, It gets even hotter and droped about 1% every 40-50 seconds when playing a game Like GTA 3.
Never had such bad problems before. Is there a fix?

I am on stock rom and kernel but i have never experienced something like this , are you using custom kernel ?
Sent from my Nexus 4
No, as I said, many people have had these problems, it does not come form apps installed.
the google stock kernel kind of swings between bad and good. i've had it go hot and munching away battery or stay cool and deliver 2 days on regular use. i would suggest you try a custom kernel like franco, that has kind of stabilized it for me and i can forget about the kernel again.
I updated my N4 to 4.3 but i seen that PlayStore and Android OS grab too much of data as i seen on graph (over 200 MB).
Cant find app that is doing that but phone is hot to touch
Can you give screenshot from that graph

I reseted graph by rechargeing phone to full.
By the way the things like Playstore(190MB) and AndroidOS(280MB) where on top for data and AndroidOS and Contacts where on top of battery drainage.
I dont have any sync or something like that turned on.
So i flashed my device and is now running 4.4 with ART enabled. Performance is definitely better but I want to get some extra juice out of it (considering that im 5h 6m at most with SCREEN ON TIME)
Share your experiences with pictures if you can please (with SOT)

EDIT:
(referring to the pictures attached) Yeah. I was playing Asphalt, had wifi most of the time (even if there wasn't a hotspot), watched The Way Way Back via Mx player, Juice Cubes and was reflashing the ROM after having trouble with Xposed Framework patch.
PS. Sorry this was from my CLEAN ROM WITH FAUX KERNEL so what I'll post next is my latest Kitkat setup + stats
Not so pleased with these stats, but my Nexus 4 had record breaking stats! I have never had more than an hour of SOT, but today I got three! Running KitKat and ART.
Well, for my N7 it is a different story. Take a look.
That is the worst stats I've ever had. Let's give it a day, like I did on my N4.

Your kernel is at 69%. Either you switched to ART directly before this run or you have a rogue app that's not showing up in the stats. Reboot, recharge and try again.

Ok. That's probably the AOT compilation. Give it another boot without any new apps and you'll see more characteristic battery life.

No games. I don't do much gaming. Can play some rayman jungle run on my next charge.
Just one hour left til 3 days standby, already 8h screen on and 10% battery left. I'll reach 9h SOT without a doubt and on 4.3 I could only get that with one day standby. So standby time is the biggest improvement.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Auto brightness, mostly streaming and downloaded video, browsing, etc. 6 hours screen time takes me down to 45%. I don't often run it past there, but if I did, I should be able to get close to 11 hours screen time.

Wow, i used to think my nexus 7 had a decent battery time. Maybe i should try running on art and see if there's any difference.

Been noticing some high usage from instagram sometimes after using it. Seems Google knows about it. 4.4.3 coming? It states nexus 5 but says also on other devices.

hey.
it's not instagram for me, but I think it's snapchat / camera (or camera permission in general)
When I look at App Ops X (an app for controlling permissions), I see that the camera app/snapchat app are running the camera always. In this app, it'll usually give a time at which a permission was accessed (e.g. 50 minutes ago) or it'll say "Running" to indicate it's using it currently.
For me, it's always been at "Running" status (the camera permission for snapchat/camera) even though I greenified snapchat.
I hope that this issue is related to the issue nexus 5 users are experiencing and that the 4.4.3 fix will apply to this as well..
Well judging by the article its the same issue. I don't use snap chat so I wouldnt know. But yeah definitely a pain.

Ever since around January, I had a battery issue where the battery capacity of my nexus 4 just dropped. I hope that this camera issue was the cause of that.
However, 4.4.2 was released on Dec 9 and I must have updated around then as well.. So there is an unexplained period gap from Dec 10 - Jan 2 of why my battery was functioning normally then..

Happened to me as well. Finally found the culprit (Instagram). Uninstalled. No more battery drain, camera daemon bug and can't connect to camera errors.

If you have root access, I'd suggest Dow loading Greenify from the Play Store. It hibernates the apps so that it doesn't use as much battery life.

You should try SD Maid app from Play Store and freeze Instagram unless you use it, and don't have to uninstall it. Or just simply kill the process from SD Maid.
