[Q] Anybody else with battery draining problems?

I don't have any "weird" application running in the background, this happened with the original carrier ROM (telcel, México) and with a "debranded" canadian ROM.
The battery life just runs away, I've charged my phone fully and then I unplug it, leave it sitting there without touching it like an hour (just wifi enabled, no celular data at all) and I'm getting this.

6% drained in a hour without touching the device.
BTW: It's a SGH - I337M

Definitely there's something wrong on mine... I'll install that and I'll let it "sleep" all night and see the results.
Thanks a lot. I'll come here again with my results.

Let BBS run at least 48hrs with no reboots to give you a full evaluation. That's what I do and I find the answer in couple of days. :thumbup:

So, I don't understand the application, I don't even know if I need to leave it open or what :/

I've solved it, it was the 4G antenna draining my battery life.

Do you have bad reception? Usually that causes severe battery drain. I'm glad you found what the issue is.

[Q] Nexus 4 battering keeps discharging and recharging while plugged in

Hi everyone,
I searched the forum for a satisfactory answer yet I don't seem to find one so I'm going to ask here...
I have the habit of plugging my Nexus 4 as soon as I get home, keep it plugged overnight, and unplug it the next day when going to work. About two weeks ago I noticed that occasionally the phone indicates that the phone is fully charged yet, some minutes afterwards it indicates that the battery is at 98-99% and is charging again. I was quite intrigued so I started using some battery applications (e.g. Battery Widget Reborn) and I now notice that the "problem" is quite frequent and happens every single time the phone is plugged (I tried withe the original USB cable that came with the phone as well as with other cables). Attached is an image showing the weird pattern that I'm having...
Does any one have the same problem ? Anyone cares to explain to me why this is happening ???

Isn't that done on purpose? You don't want to keep charging at 100% so the phone discharges after reaching 100% for a while.

When 100% is reached, the battery, for the best of my knowledge, is not used... Therefore, I find that it discharges very very quickly for an unused battery !

Mine does that as well. I thought that was normal?

It's Normal as phone batteries reach 100, discharge a bit and stays there. Btw ROM + Kernel?

Just stock Android 4.2.2

How quickly it uses that small amount of battery that kicks it back into charge mode is going to depend on what you have running and syncing in the background.

I tried it doesn't work. Moreover the statistic never restart. Now it shows more than 2 days with the battery and obviously it's not true. At the time of Desire I remember there was an app to recalibrate the battery, someone remember the name?

Try running this app to reset your battery stats.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en

Thanks but the app requires root, and probably all similar apps. I'll wait the 4.3 or I proceed with a reset. I very unlucky with nexus. Before N4 i had a GN, after 6 months I have to send it in warranty, they give me a new one and after 4 months the screen was always off. Now is it in warranty too. I have N4 from one month and it's starting to go crazy... However, thanks to everyone for the help

Do a full charge, unplug and see if that resets the stats. That does the same thing as the calibration app.

I had already tried but for 3 days N4 continued to had the same problem. Now seems to return normal. I'm not really sure but maybe using a car charger during a short trip could had help. However thanks to everyone

Taking forever and not putting a time to it doesn't help. So really how long is it taking to charge?
Mine seems to charge in a few hours (3-4) but im utilizing it at the same time. This is using the stock charger.

You're right I apologize. It seems to charge about 20%/hr, using stock 1.35a charger. I guess I'm just used to the 2.5-3hr time frame.

About 2.5 hours using the original Nexus 7 charger. Almost 4 hours with the stock charger. They must have saved a few cent by using the less powerful charger.

I unplugged mine last night because I had to plug in my Note II.
This morning, after being unplugged for 6 hours, was down to 94% left. Be interesting to see how long it goes on it's own without being touched, but that's never going to happen at my house.

well this is mine. But guys keep using it, i feel they may drop more faster compared to how long you use it

Slower charge is longer lasting battery.

Using the stock charger I can go from 30% to full in just under two hours. Not bad, plus battery life is phenomenal.

Nasty system drain

Anyone else had these system drain issues? This is the first day I have seen a problem with it after having the phone for a week now.

Google Now isnt on. I hadnt turned it on yet. I just went into the settings for the google search app and verified.

It was the first time mine did it... seems to have normalized since.

I've seen elsewhere that people have had issues with Samsung Link eating up battery life. Turning it off appears to solve the issue.

i had almost the same results on my rooted Sprint GS5 with all the samsung stuff, and bloatwhere turned off

Believe it or not.... the "Memos" app was eating more battery than everything else combined for me before I turned it off.
