Just made this small test. I'm not really sure whether I should be happy with the result or not. It's weird though because usually my battery lasts 4h30m sot . According to this test it should last just over 3hrs gaming. What are your experiences?

I've only used it for 8 minutes and the battery has gone down 3%. I'm on 4.2

Well, you still got 97% >_>'
Do you really think that the battery would drain intense after such a small drop? This isn't crazy.

That gives you 4.5 hrs of use until it gets to 0%. So depending on what you are doing maybe that's actually OK. Post back once it hits 0% with the actual screen on time.

I honestly think one of Google's competitors is funding some of these ad hominem attacks.

Referencing the Nexus 7 Guidebook, the claim is not 9 hours, but rather up to 8 hours of active use. As with any consumer electronics, that represents optimal conditions. Your screen brightness setting, what you,really doing, etc, are amongst the many variables that will affect battery drain. Having the screen on full bright is with white backgrounds is going to drain a battery exponentially faster than low brightness with darker images.

Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

Hello, I just had a 3hr 30min SOT time with some fairly heavy usage (gaming) on my nexus 4. Is that considered good for the N4 and how could I improve it?

That's pretty normal I guess. I get about 4.5 hrs SOT with browsing, occasional gaming, messaging.. I think there are users getting a lot more than that!
You can try out different ROM+kernel combos to check out how your battery performs..
Nah, I rather not try them out. I like getting ota updates and hate factory resetting hehe. Any other ways to improve battery life without flashing anything or rooting?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Turn off background programs.. Autoruns.. turn brightness down .
Still you are gaming on a phone. How long do you Toni the battery is going to last with your gpu and cpu running full bore?
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
I can get 5 hours of on screen time during the work day. Using for browsing, txt, light calls. But during a weekend, 4 hours on screen time with heavy use of YouTube, gaming, and calls. I'm also running a custom rom and kernel. When I was stock I could not even get 3 hours of on screen time doing anything.

3.5 hours of SOT is good man. Especially if you were playing games and what not. I usually get the same in a 15 or so hour day. And your stock you say getting almost 4 hours of apt.. That's awesome man. ..
You can turn off a bunch of shat like GPS and BT and auto sync and blah .. But then what's the point of your smart phone..
Two things.. There are other threads about SOT that you could post this.. And don't let these "oh I get 5 hours of sot" guys get to you. Half of them are either lying about the sot or the usage their phone had that day.

Haha, good to hear that my sot is great. plus having all those kernels and Roms might mess up my phone so with stock this sot will be good enough for me. Anyways thanks for your information.

Hi this is my battery life, what do you think? I think it's not that great considering that screen time is only about 80 minutes. I am using. Maxwen rom. What's your average battery life with the oppo? I am really disappointed with mine

Hey guys! So after I bought my n4, I thought of testing the battery. After playing for about 1 and a half hours, watching a 45 minute movie and browsing the Web for about one hour or maybe two, it finally died. What do you think of it?

very normal.
battery life will all depend on your setup(rom/kernel/apps), your phone signal, and your personal use. most people see between 2.5 and 4.5 hours, while a few see quite a bit more, 4-7 hours

Yeah its very normal...While consuming heavy multimedia, your n4 is sure to be dead within 3-4 hours...
I played GTA 3 with lowest resolution and it drained 10% of my battery in 20 min!
Guess what would hav happened if i maxed out the performance!!!
