I know that using Google Now will have some battery impact on battery life. However, I am already using it with location reporting off... That being said, my question is if I use the traffic card or any other card for that matter, will it drain battery any faster as opposed to leaving that card off? Will turning off certain cards have less impact on battery?
I appreciate any input.

I think that's just one of those things that you'll have to test out and report. Everyone usually has different experiences with different things.
That I understand, but I'm curious if the app itself is already pulling down all the info regardless of whether or not the card is turned on or not.

Hi! My friend's tab is experiencing drastic battery drain overnight. from 60% - 20%. wifi was off, no messenger running. only email push notifications. all running apps were closed.
If you just upgraded to ics, try a hard reset.

Its still using Honeycomb. We have not received the ICS update. are there any apps that can monitor what apps or processes is sucking up the juice? Preferably if it doesn't require root.
Have you tried checking battery usage? There you may see what's using your battery. Otherwise, there might be a hardware problem.

ICS definitely improved my battery life..
I was having terrible standby battery life on HC until I turned on airplane mode. Even without a sim card the radio was killing the battery.
If you don't have a sim card in then this is what causes battery drain. This problem is on all Samsung tablets that i have.

I agree. Same with me as well. Better if you bring it to Samsung service center. :-D

the 1positive with mine so far is the battery. i go all day (12-14hrs) with moderate use and still have 30% charge when i plug it in.
That's terrible. You got an app freaking out. I noticed a huge drop in battery life when I put on a different sms app.

one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.
Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.
Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
I'm not sure what's happening. My Nexus 7 remains idle most of the time, yet I get pretty bad battery drain and then when I check the battery history I see this. This happens during every battery drain.
Any ideas guys?

Wow, have never seen that on any device! Install Gsam or better battery stats if you are rooted to see what's going on. My best guess, it's a hardware issue.

Have you already tried reformatting? Kind of a pain, but that's the only thing I can think of.
Try contacting Google or the seller they might give you a replacement.

That happened to me once or twice. These spikes are only visible on the battery graph in settings app. I use an alternative battery monitor app from Google play and it does not show any spikes. Also battery life seems pretty in line with what other people report. I simply ignore them since they do not seem to affect battery life.
Could it be caused by the wireless charging functionality being triggered by other electronic devices in house?
I saw the same problem in the G+ community there, but it's Gelexy Nexus which updated to Android 4.3 recently

Yes, but the screen shot shows 2 days of battery , and he don't use the tablet
If I have a Light use I have battery to 4 Or 5 days...
I advise you to factory reset with the battery charged

Hey everyone,
My Nexus 7 (2013) is having the same problem with battery graph. There are about 2-3 spikes to 100% in every discharge cycle.
I noticed this problem has been reported in different cycles, but no one seems to be able to give a definite answer of what the source of this problem is.
BTW, after a reset to factory settings, the problem still persists.
ANY idea why this is happening???

You just keep referring to that forum without actually answering my question, even on that forum
I was wondering what people thought of these battery stats. I consider these average for my normal day. I've gotten much better and much worse. Just looking for comparisons. And wondering if anyone had any advice that relates specifically to this phone. Ive done almost everything out there. At least as much as you can do running stock. I have frozen many apps. Disabled almost all non essestial settings. Display is less than 25%. Use app ops. Wake lock detector. Better battery stats. Turned off location on almost everything. The only thing I think hurts me is I have auto sync on many apps, mostly for social media. Mainly I want to know if people who have gone through the ringer trying to squeeze very bit of battery life out of their phones are experiencing similar battery life. I see so many people claiming crazy stats I want to know how they do it.

This is an average day for me of heavy internet browsing and just using my phone really. I am running stock mk2, although i have removed many apps. But i had 15% battery left after that days use.

@ OP.
Those battery stats are average for a normal every day user on stock. Custom ROMS and Kernels if you want super battery tweaking.
So off topic bc I'm a super noob.. I was wondering if you root your phone do you lose the ability to get carrier software updates?

OP, your Android OS is waaaaaaay too high. (try settings/connections/location services/ uncheck "use wireless networks) for a major difference.

You can use wanam exposed to fake the system status as official instead of custom. But i prefer to use odin instead.

This is from today. Im rooted, but turned off greenify and wakelock terminator for these stats. Only thing disabled is carrier IQ. I normally get around 4 hours SOT. While that sounds good, its nothing to compared to some stats i see posted. I have knockOn disabled, only use wifi and nfc. No locations or bluetooth.
