Please use already existing thread for battery related issues;

But yes you have to understand few things about battery and how to manage it. Install better battery stats or gsam battery monitor and CPU spy and learn to read the data they produce to identify what's causing battery drain and how you can manage it.

I was interested in how the battery on the Nexus 4 performed but i aint trawling through 242 pages.
No one seems willing to help on here you just either get thread locked thread already exists or go look at this already running thread, never known a forum like it.
How long have you owned your nexus 4? I was shocked at my battery life at first, but after about 2 weeks it significantly improved. Now I can easily last 12 hours with about 2,5h screen time. Not as impressive as some others, but still doable. So you might just want to give your device a few weeks to get used to you using it.

Hey all,
I have a quick question here & hope to get answers (please )
Here's the deal, I want to buy mom the l7 and would like to know if it's like enough for texting, calling, browsing the Web, the basics..?
I know some people with l7 and it's laggy like hell, it takes years to unlock the screen, but I believe in PEBKAC, so I thought maybe they messed it up.

Hello,
In my opinion is enough.I have P700(l7),and after i change it room(cyanogen 10) whit a couple of tweaks is a beter phone.But is my opinion.I have now a faster phone for browsing,facebook and games.
HI.
It's a terrible device.
Lag lag lag lag la- you get it.
I can recommend a phone for you.
But I live in New Zealand, if you could get me the price for the l7 in USD, and I will guarantee to find the best phone.
Don't look at my rank, I had an old account which I can't log into, which was a really high rank.

The fact that you use the word rank shows it's not high

I agree with you!!:good:
It's a pretty neat phone when you upgrade it to JellyBean. Just a few lags, overall pretty smooth! Totally worth it for basic use, although I wouldn't recommend for extreme gaming and heavy use.
Now i installed avatar rom from a polish site.Look very well and smoot.I al so instaled a few tkeaks(crossbreader and ac!d sound).

For for texting, calling, browsing the Web and if by "the basics" you don't mean Facebook or Gmaps (which are memory hogs) then I recommend the L7. But NOT with stock rom, I use Cyanogen nighlty, Gandalf kernel and 4cyl turbo and I'm quite happy with the performance.

I don't think it means what you think it means.
Two very bad things about this device:
1.Bad screen
2.Bad battery performance
others can be tolerated.

Screen viewing angle is bad. You can see it only at 90 degrees, and if you are inside. Outside even on cloudy weather you cant see goddamn thing on it. Google for l7 reviews. Also battery drains too quickly even on standy. Its little better if you turn off wifi during inactivity. Best is if you put your phone in airplane mode. I think thats due some modem/baseband problems on some networks. I use european open rom on T-mobile, maybe on some other networks battery performs better...
did I mention non-existing oleophobic screen coating?
1. Very good thing about l7... LAUNCHER IS AWESOME.. i newer saw such swift and fluid launcher like this LGUI 3.0.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll go with it anyway for mum, it's the cheapest phone I can get in here, and she only needs it to call me over with Viber or text me through WhatsApp & look at the news from time to time.

I got it and Im pretty happy with it, if you flash CM10, V2.1.1 kernel, turn on things in performance and phone does work with almost no laggs in games, launcher or everything.
Screen is pretty screwed because of angle and brightness, but its okay.
Battery drain issue can be fixed by buying better battery via eBay like this:

its cheap and better than original
Is that battery any good ?

Yeah it is, I use it on everyday use and I have to charge it every 2 days with a lot of using (games, 3G, WIFI, skype, facebook).
First : I would like to thank all you people for your exceedingly awesome work .. Thanks alot
Now I have installed CM10 by Quarx on my defy and twao bugs are ruining the phone
Wifi Bug which catches weak single when i am very near to the router and can't come any closer :/
Battery Bug Also .. My mob.'s battery works fine from 100% to 70% normally then it jumps tp 40% then 20%
another bug but isnt that important , battery displays like 70% , 80 , 40 no 44 or ,56 or any numbers in between
So if anyone could tell me how to get rid of those bugs , I will be thankful
Sorry for my english
WiFi bug Is known.. Check the thread. About the battery - I think your battery is worn out.. Get a new battery.

If your battery is more than 1.5 years old, then most likely you need a new battery. You can try battery calibration or start from scratch.

I bought my brand New defy in October 2012. I've had huge battery drops ever since I jumped onto the CM10 bandwagon from this February. How's that possible?

Frm the screen shot it seems you have background processes running(BBM n alarms). If you are always on 3g/wifi then the battery draining is normal. Or you can buy a new one for your satisfaction. Or charge it fully n dont use it just check for successive draining and if it drains within minutes then buy a new one.
Turn of features like google now and google location reporting. They consume hell lot of memory. Install greenify.

Try to check your battery if it is swollen...this is the big down of s4..
Or maybe a bad flash of your rom if u have
I'm using lindroid rom and i experienced good battery life. I also tried thunder_universe rom and thorvicc did a good job...
Try also one of any custom rom it might solve your problem
thanks to all
thanks to who want to help me

If it the battery is draining so fast and you're not even stressing the unit, it's most definitely a hardware problem. I had this problem before, and it turned out that my motherboard got whacked. The service center had it replaced and all was good.
