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?

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.

Hey guys,
Just bought a GS3, battery life for me is definitely better than the HTC One X (maybe not all of you, but it's my personal preference) , just wondering what screen on time people get with and without the Power Saving Mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
3h 40min.
I like Dead Trigger.
I got a second original battery and since then I never run out of battery. Remember the S3 has a replaceable battery!
30 very good invested Euros

5-6 hours with power saving. Since I don't really game I leave it on all the time. Even then the phone is still beat mode. God I love it.

I can get 12h screen time, playing simple game over wifi or watching movie at minimum brightness =) about 8.7% per hour..energy saving on. a little UV and UC. What makes me wonder is how to get over 7 hours browsing, seems impossible...

Agree, its the brightness that kills the battery!
Yes, full brightness and at least 35% juice less....dark background helps a lot actually to keep more juice.
Hey guys, prospective owner here, want to know how people are finding the battery life after a few weeks of owning the phone now. And is there a likelihood we will see google patch it in the near future to fix some issues?
Mines pretty good and I usually get 4 hr screen time and like 17 hr on battery so yep not to bad I did about 3 charge cycles on it but yep.

Ah that's not too bad at all is that on stock rom and kernal? I would say I use aout 2-3 hours of screen on time in a day. Any experience with the Note 2? Having to chose between the two
I suggest checking the battery life thread

Why is my battery time so bad I only get about 3 hours of sot and about 16 of battery life... Is my nexus 4 defected or is it just my set up? I am using PA 3.56 with the kernel it comes with, how good is your battery life? And should I get an RMA?

Flash Franco kernel milestone 2. I get 5 hours of screen on time.

3hrs sot is not bad for this phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
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!
Stock, rooted, Franco kernel

This is why people worry about getting 3 hours SOT. No demanding apps... Can't see network signal.

5 hours of constant use?? If so....that's about average or so.

Thanks for your response buddy.
Yes , about 5 hours ( actually 4-5 hours and mostly 4:30 ) of "screen on" plus using of wifi (only when I want to use the internet ).
Then in your point of view it is normal and my battery hasn't any problem?
Thanks

Surfing uses moderate battery....since its always loading images and whatnot. I can watch about 7 hours of video, about 5 of surfing, less than 4 playing most games, and 5 or 6 of reading. Those are about my averages anyway.
I get about 24 to 48 hours on a charge with our usage patterns anyway.
Hope that helps! And no, I don't think you have a battery problem.
You can flash roms and kernels, underclock/undervolt and tweak like mad to get a couple more hours out of battery....but doesn't seem worth the trouble. To me anyway.

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!!!
