i hope some of you have experienced this. i'm on carbon rom right now. sometimes when i'm in the middle of an app, it's just turn off and when i plug it in and turn it on the battery is at 0%. i've done a factory reset.
I have never had that happen before. Does your battery meter move? Like does it say sit at 50% for ages then all of a sudden your phone turns off.

no, but it does happen around 50% from my experience.

Try out another ROM to see whether the battery drain still happens. If no, then it's the ROM's kernel.
Yeah I would try another rom or hell even stock. Maybe your battery is defective if a new rom doesn't help

How do you charge your phone? Using the stock wall charger?
usb from laptop

Some app or service is draining your battery. Get BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down.

I installed battery saver app.. I will check if it can do any good..

Like someone said before it's a rogue app and the only way your going to get the battery drain issue to go away is to figure out which app is doing it and then get rid of it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...
Hey guys!
Today my phone was at about 10% charge, so I decided to charge it. After I plugged it in, it immediately said charged (I unplugged it after it said charged). After about 30mins the phone completely turned off and wouldn't turn on. When I went home and plugged it in, a red light started to blink. After fiddling around with it and finally being able to turn it on, I went into the battery menu and realized there was a sudden drop. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me why it happened, a fix/ a way to prevent this from happening!
Edit: I am using paranoid android 3.69 with twrp 2.6 and Franco kernel 3.4 milestone 3
Android 4.2.2

thats a pretty big issue, but I just ran into a similar issue. My battery life was at 73, and then i powered off the phone then powered it back on. it was still at 73. then i powered off again and powered on again and it was down to 65. Not sure why that is, did you power off/on your like this too?

Woah, this is either a big coincidence or has something to do w/ PA. I had same thing happen to me and I had to RMA my phone. It had only been a few days since I had installed PA for the first time.
What do you mean by "I had to RMA my phone"? Sorry i dont know many terms.

Didn't unlocking the boot loader void the warranty? How did you get a replacement?

I dont know whats up with my Nexus 4 battery but its acting weird.
Sometimes at around 40% (or 30%, or 20%) my phone just switches off, then when I put it to charge and switch it back on, the phone is at 1%.
I tried calibrating the battery properly several several times with no luck
This happened when I was in 4.2.2 first. After that when I flashed 4.3 factory image the problem was solved.
Now when I flashed the Kit Kat image, I have this issue again. I'm really annoyed with this as I cant take my phone outside without knowing how much battery I REALLY have left.
I need help here please.
SOLVED: I guess the problem was because of a faulty battery. My old battery was swelling, so I replaced it and these problems were all solved

I just came here to post the same thread! Yesterday my phone just went dark without any sign or switching off animation at about 25% battery. I plugged it in and now when it got to 76% it just went straight to 100% full battery. Obviously while discharging it it will switch off again at 20-25%. What can we do? Completely stock, unrooted, 4.4 Kit kat sideloaded. Edit: Did the factory reset after 4.4 kit kat
you can try factory reset (wipe all data), or a clean flash 4.4.

Repairing is really relative. It can take from 2 up to 3 weeks usually. I was told it would take three and got it back after two. My issue was that I couldn't hear the person speak in calls though.
Good luck

It seems like you have a faulty battery. IMO, it has nothing to do with the software.

Oh so you never had this with 4.3 too, I guess we are in the same boat then
Alright, I flashed back to 4.3 and going to see if this problem happens again, just to confirm that it works on 4.3

Yep, but never been on 4.2.2, I took mine when 4.3 was out there. And moreover mine is bought from the UK play store just like yours I guess. Don't know whether flashing the factory 4.4 image will solve the issue though. :/ Factory reset didn't.

Does your phone just randomly switch off, without the Powering off dialog box?
Mine does that randomly, the screen just switches off. When I switch on there's enough battery remaining.

Nope. Mine doesn't do that..yet. But when it gets to 30% it switches off without the powering off dialog box, yes. Black screen. When I plugged it in, it starts from 1%

My friend recently bought an imported nexus 4 from eBay(on my advice). He's having a strange a problem. The device works normally till the battery drains below 50%. But then it suddenly turns off and doesn't turn back on again. When he connects the charger, it's stats charging from 0% again. The charging process is also normal.
Anyone had this type of problem?

Whats the rom and kernel?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try charging it to 100%, disconnect charger, reboot and check if it already lost some charge during reboot. If yes charge full again.
I had something similar (not a total drop, but a fast drop when below 50%) a few days ago and this helped. I don't know why, though.

I think you should try both suggestions.
Also inform us what is the ROM and Kernel he is using.
Keep us updated.
Ok so yesterday I had my nexus 4 in the charger at 46 percent and i was about to send a tweet when the screen froze. thinking it was a simple crash i pressed the home button and no visual response then it powered off. now whenever i try to power it on nothing happens. i tried pressing the power and volume buttons. whenever i try to turn it on and i plug it in the red light flashes. sometimes it flashes continiously sometimes it is a solid color. so what can i do it wont communicate with the computer. im not sure what the issue is. is it a battery issue or is it impossibly bricked. i already charged it overnight to no avail.
oh and im running stock cm11 with the stock cm kernel. i just installed it the night before.
It isn't bricked it's a battery issue.
Leave it in your computer or car charger for a few hours at least.
If still nothing report back.
Good luck!

Charging with the wall charger I guess? There have been reports of various members here on XDA that got their N4 running again after the RLOD issue by charging it with a car charger or with their computer.
Anyway, there are tutorials on YT how to take your N4 apart and fix the RLOD issue. There is also one on the Nexus 4 General section(can't post a link right now). Go to the N4 general section here on XDA, then it must be somewhere on the first page.
Good luck and let me know if you fixed it.
