Hello everyone,
I have been experiencing poor battery life on my nexus 4 from stock 4.3. As of now it is running the latest ParanoidAndroid 3.99 Rom with franco.Kernel-nightly-r182.zip. I use hspa 5 hrs a day, wifi, light browsing, and email, with automatic brightness to only getting 2 hours 15 minutes of screen time. Then I would need to charge the phone again. I do use trickster mod to lower maximum clock frequency to 12000mhz and have my location access turn on/off base off necessity, with Google Now turn off. So does any one know if there are better ways to improve my battery life? A new rom or kernel perhaps? Any insight on this issue is much appreciated.

I'm having a bit of issues with battery life. Currently I'm using CM6RC2 with Green Power.
SetCPU is enabled with profiles at 384max when screen is off.
Autosync is off
Screen timeout is 15seconds.
Brightness is at autoset.
Now after doing a bit of gmail, facebook and streaming music over 3G for about an hour plus standby for another 7-8 it goes down to 64/63% is that normal? I've seen people using it for 14+ hours with at least 60% left.
Second question/issue connects question one.
What ROM and Kernel combination and possibly application helps maximize the battery?
Thanks.
That does sound a bit much but you're sadly not alone.

Also make sure the Facebook App is fully updated as v3.0.0 raped peoples batteries and was fixed in 3.0.1
I have done those before, thanks anyone else got any other suggestions
Just want to share my setup to improve your phone battery life.
Im using [ROM] FroyoBread.
I install Undervolt module.
I use setcpu and create profile. Screen off>Max cpu 320>Min cpu 120>Priority 90>conservative
Im using Fast Reboot not Advance Task Killer
lowest brightness, no animation, 30 sec screen off, disable (wifi, bluetooth, background sync, vibration), 2g network only
you will be more informed if you visit this site [FIX] Drain Battery Fix for CyanogenMod
(Fast Reboot vs Advance Task Killer)
Now this is what i get. With modetare to heavy SMS, minor phone call, minor gaming, minor to moderate listening music. I been using my phone for 3 straight days and still have 4% remaining.
Note: I don't have wifi in my house so i don't know what will be the result of my phone battery life.
Thanks to Dare-Devil Inside for his tips and doixanh for his great module and rom. I hope this will help to improve your phone battery life.
P.S. sorry for my english if you think its bad.
Ok i do like u said i will check how it works

Here are some tips when not using it:
Turn GPS off
Turn wifi off
Turn Bluetooth off

I have check out by battery is in good condition.
but still i have battery drain problems.
problems started the day one i flashed a rom.
and the battery draining problem is just due to display.
without display on data connection on, and full time in proper connectivity area:
with music playback i get approx. 10hrs
or with bluetooth 6hrs
or on call i got 5 hrs
this were my battery stats.
but with display on for just 1 hr without any use idealy on homescreen itself it.
so i needed to know were will i get to change the display settings as i was using the lowest brightness of the rom.
i needed to change other features of display were are they available.
it will thankful of you if you help.
Turn your contrast down, use a conservative kernel setting and apart from that, if its still really bad (after a few battery cycles) then its f+$%ked unfortunately.
Hi !
i own an nexus 4 device and i have a battery problem .
before i baught this device i read online and i already knew that his battery isnt very good , but i never taught it would be that bad !!
i barely touch the phone and thr battery keeps draining !!
my question is what can i do to make it better..maybe to replace my rom , or install another kerner...anything please help !
thanks in advanced, Orel
turn off stuff which you are not using, eg. data, bluetooth, NFC, wifi, location services;
and turn your screen brightness down as much as possible.
that's all you can do, but it should make a big difference.
also think about investing in a compact portable battery charger.
My battery life on my Nexus 4 is awesome.
Download wake lock detect to find what apps are eating up your battery.

Install a custom rom and go try a custom kernel.
DO NOT ASK WHAT ROM AND WHAT KERNEL IS THE BEST
Try all of them and see how it is for YOUR device. Try undervolting if you want to. Personally I'm running PA with Franco with a -100 undervolt. 8 hours on standby takes away about 1-2 %.
Hello,
I've been using SGS4 for a few weeks.
3G is off, screen brightness is low etc.
(4.4.2 stock rom is installed as a firmware)
The usage of screen is about 4 hours a day.
The battery lasts about 16-17 hours per day.
I am looking forward to a custom rom that is better about battery usage?
I need help. Thank you

Your battery life is amazing. I do the same as you, and also use juicy defender, greenify, set cpu,... to save battery but it's quite hard to get 4h on screen. I tried many roms and the average time on screen is only 3h. My battery might be the problem

I don't play games.
I surf the web: Social networks, E-mail, Forums, Newspapers...
I don't use foursquare, instagram, viber, tango, also.
The version of juice defender in the Google Play is very old. It may not suppot: 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2
Grenify is useful.
I had tried set cpu, when i was using S3.
Nowadays I'm trying an application. (I don't have an idea yet)
The name of the application is:Smart Data Switch
