For the love of god i can't understand why my Nexus 4 battery is draining while it's off! Sometimes i use my iphone 5 , and always charge the Nexus 4 in case i wanna use it,i know it's already charge. 2 days ago i let the Nexus 4 completely charge, today i power up the phone and the battery was at 14%. It happened a couple times but was always thought ah maybe i left it on or something, this time i made sure the phone was off, but battery still drains... Im on stock rom never rooted, using Nexus 7 charger... Any idea on what could be the problem?? Thx in advance!

Maybe a bad battery?

I mean i don't have battery problem at all when i'm using it.... It's just when the phone is not in use and off it's still drains battery like it was on... I can understand something like that happening if the phone was off for a long period of time but 2 days 14% left while off seems ridiculous!

Try using the same cable and charger. Make sure Facebook isn't running or any apps that can drain your battery. Facebook killed my battery with no data connection

I just sent my first Nexus 4 in for RMA on this very issue, got the replacement on Friday, did a charge cycle, charged the phone fully up whilst off, took it off the charger (the official Nexus charger btw), and let it sit for the last day, just turned it on, and it's at 60%.... W T F !!!
This is sooo totally bizarre! I can only assume that this is common to most Nexus 4 (what are the odds of me getting two bad ones - direct from Google - with the exact the same issue?), and that people just aren't noticing, as most people don't leave their phones off after fully charging, and thus just never notice, as the battery behaves perfectly normally under usual use.
I would gratefully appreciate it if people could put this to the test, so I know whether or not to RMA the second device or not....
Was the phone powered down, or just sleeping? Any programs set to auto sync? Check for wakelocks?

hello,
i'm using a galaxy s4 since 3 months now but i have a problem since this week.
my phone looses signal at some point. nothing that i know that can cause it. it doenst turn back when activating airplane mode and then deactivating this mode.
and when i turn of the phone it turns on to the standard galaxy S4 logo and then samsung logo but then it just dies.
i have to connect it to a charger and then it works.
also my phone doenst give an announcement when my battery is emptY. it sometimes displays 15% on battery and then it dies. when charging the battery icon displays and the battery is completly empty?
i looked at my battery and it is a little bit swollen and i only use official charger at night from samsung and during the day one of nokia

I had the same issue. My battery was also swollen.
Replacing my battery solved the problem. At least till now (fingers crossed)

Exact same issue here. Replaced the swollen battery with a new one and its working as usual again.
Strange that original battery lived only a few months.

Unless you have a goof full LTE connection, expect that. Lte and battery do not get along with each other.

I´m experience that too. My battery is going slowly... Every new charge theems the phone lasts less... Battery issue?
I have experienced this during my Galaxy W days. And samsungs centre's technician told me it's because I charge my phone while using it for hours, and it's straining the battery causing the gradual swell. Since then I never plug my phone while using it and until now my s4's battery is still good as new. My phone's 4 months old already.
FYI.

I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it's Samsung's was of "diverting" the fault to the user. The battery should not swell because you're using it while charging. I've never had this issue with with my other phone, which had a very small battery by design and had to stay plugged in if I were to get any real use out of it. Over charging does gradually reduce battery life but no swelling.
I have also had this issue. Started a few days ago with random reboots and signal losses.
Has anyone taken it back to the shop? Will they want to keep the phone for testing? I just want to replace the battery and not have to send my device away for a long time. I need to know because it's rooted and if they see that the warranty will be voided. Phone is only 3 months old, this really shouldn't happen.
I think it's battery issue. Maybe Samsung spares on the battery this time... on s3 it was on memory.
I solved this issue flashing a Google edition romantic with a full wipe (formating internal sd). Take some days with this Google edition tom and battery drain stopped. This can be related to last firmware releases. Just guessing...

I had intense heat in phone during my early purchase this month. Later after OTA update, the heat was completely gone. Today, all of a sudden heat started again and battery drains in 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes. Nothing new installed. Any reason?

I have same issue
my note 3 is very fast in discharging
when i have fully charged in 100% after a few minutes nothing touched it goes 99% then on keep browsing it goes 98% with an extra heat also..
this is only happen if you are on the stock kernel
i think the stock kernel for note 3 must be adjusted for battery saving...like note 2
Turn off animations. Dim the brightness . That solved both battery and overheat and lag issues for mr.
Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
I just noticed that brightness is already set to auto and it's less than 50%. Let me further reduce it
By the way where is animation option?
So bad to do all these to make battery survive. Samsung should have thought these well ahead before pushing so quick on new products.

Exhange Services is any email account and calendar sync other than Gmail&Google Calendar. To turn it off, get rid of those. Not ideal. Putting them all on manual sync does the trick too.
As for the spontaneous heat, sounds like IndexingService.
I never had this problem earlier after recent update. Started heating up from yesterday only. Putting my corporate email to manual defeats my purpose. What's the indexing thing you mentioned?
I try calling Samsung support and they insisted to bring all kits by Monday. Will keep it posted here.

Same here! This is the second day I'm using Note 3 and this didn't happen on Note II.
Now I disabled all Dropbox syncs, and disabled ALL sensors movements and just let enabled the s pen commands. Reduced the brightness to the minimum also. But it's still hot, even after rebooting.
I will disconnect charger and go out and see if, like yesterday, the battery will drain. Oh! And, by the way, I didn't charged it when I went to sleep and when I woke up I noticed that from 3AM to 8AM my battery dropped from about 40 to 7 and then stopped going down, but when I started using it battery drain started so fast again until it turned off.
Now I just made a full charge with the device turned off and let's check what will happen today with this new settings...

While I'm not happy to see others with this problem of their note 3 heating up its kinda good to know now that I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted about this also over on the tmobile n900t thread and I got a very good reply(useful mod) back from a member that seems to(so far) keep my device cooler than it was getting while extreme gaming on device.

Hello, :fingers-crossed:
i'm having a lot of troubles with the battery of my Nexus 4. I'll try to explain this strange situation...
Few days ago i noticed a ridicoulous battery drain while i was, as usually, listening to some music with my bluetooth A2DP headset Jabra HALO2. It was something like 1% every less then 1 minute. At first i thought it was due to a recently upgrade to CM10.2M1 (which is a monthly build of Cyanogenmod on 4.3) or due to a 5 minutes fast charge from the 2A charger of Nexus 10 that could have "upset" the battery.
At first i started focusing on the software side problem; i tried CM10.2RC1, CM10.2, stock 4.3, stock 4.4 and now CM11M1, and, while doing all of those wipes, i noticed that not only the discharge was insanely fast, but even the charge! The graph on the setting panel is almost vertical while cahrging, like 3% to 40% in 25 minutes.
But that's not all, sometimes, after rebooting, i noticed a battery level different from the previous boot, so i decided to wait a full discharge and then fully recharge it. I have waited the 0% (not so much time ) putting the screen always on and the LED flash too, then, i tried few times to turn it on and every time, after the boot screen disappeared it immediately started to turning off due to 0% battery.
Moreover, for being certain, i tried to turn it on in recovery and wait how much time it would take to consume the lasting charge on the battery. Surprisingly, after 30 minutes it was still there! I tried a reboot into system, showing me a 10% remaining battery (WTF), which discharged to 0% in like 3 minutes. Now i'm waiting the whole night the real discharge in recovery with screen always on, hoping that a full recharge could fix it. I would like to evidence that the phone do not overheat during both charghe and discharge, so i guess the battery itself may be ok.
I'm still not sure if it's a software problem, and i'm worrid if it could be an hardware related issue. Maybe it could have been the charge from the 2A adapter.
I really don't know what to do next. Someone knows how to help me?

EDIT:
I've done a full discharge until even the full hybernation has been shutted down, but seems that it hasn't solved anything. I've also noticed that in the battery stat is missing the display consumption (WTF?!?). Maybe it's a CM11M1 bug, it happen even to my Nexus 10. Here other shots:

EDIT:
I've noticed just now that while I was waiting a real full discharge of the battery the TWRP couldn't show me the battery percentage. Really strange...
[SOLVED]
In summary, the problem was the combination of kernel+ROM. The CM with his kernel on N4 was consuming tons of electrons. I tried Purity+Hellscore, now i reach few days of low usage and one and half of medium usage
How old is your phone? You might be able to get a replacement from Google under warranty.

It have 9 months, and yes is still under warrenty, but I've bought it in Spain, and I live in Italy. I think this will be hard to solve
I have some strange problemi too.
Sometines the phone reboot itself and the battery drops (i tried to flash all stock: recovery, bootloader,ROM ecc..)
It could be a faulty battery.. Read this topic, it looks like you have the same kind of problems.
Do you also have simlocks/loss of network connection?

I've already read this topic, i think the source of the problem may be related with mine, but symptoms are different. It is strange that this happened 9 months later!
Gully discharging the phone, rebooting, discharge again if any, reboot. Connect charger, charge full. Reboot, charge full again if any, reboot. This always worked for me.
You can also try to fully discharge, completely power off the phone and let it fully charge while powered off ( only a white battery should be shown on the display).

Unfortunately, no. Probably it is a battery related problem, i'm going to replace it and see what happen. In the meantime not even PurityROM+HellsCore kernel may handle this battery draining...
Battery on my Note 4 has always been great but as I'm just about at the 1 year mark of owning the device the battery has been dying faster and now in the last week when it gets to 25% it suddenly drops to 9% and I get a low battery warning, then less than a minute later it shuts off and when you plug it in it shows 0%.
Genuine Samsung replacement batteries are only 24.99 on their site so not a big deal but I'm just wondering if anyone else is seeing this at the 1 year mark.
You may have overlooked by title but root cause was localized to degrading battery capacity.

2nd edit: the theory was raised that the battery degrading is being prematurely induced by leaving the phone plugged in overnight. My battery appears to be going strong but I've rarely left it plugged in for extended periods of time; minutes as opposed to hours after fully charged.

I noticed similar degradation a few weeks ago. So I bought a Mugen 8k battery. Problem solved. I now get over 12 hours SOT.

Damn man this was a great idea. My phone has been freezing and randomly restarting and getting extremely hot. Last night my battery went from 100% after a full charge down to 0 when I woke up. I was getting read to do a factory reset and thought I would try this and I think it really fixed it. So far so good anyway. Thanks!

You can flash AEL Kernel to last your battery better. Flash via recovery. Link download at echoerom.com, 7.8 is the lastest version.

Yeah I was thinking of that but in January I'm due for an upgrade and I plan on trading this in so I'm keeping it stock for now. I'm looking at the S7 maybe as my next phone. That's a BIG maybe though. We'll see what they come up with but it sounds promising.

Not me. I've heard of other people with the same experience of getting only one reliable year out of a battery, but my original Galaxy S3 battery only just died a couple weeks ago. That's 3 years, I think, of reliable usage. Your mileage may vary, I guess.

I had the same problem with my Note 4. I got a Samsung replacement battery through best buy and it did the exact same thing at first but it seems to have "learned" that the new battery will last longer.
Now if only these rapid updates that sprint is pushing out will stop trashing my phone
