Battery problems after 4.3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My battery problem started when I left 4.3
Before 4.4 was out, I switched to Paranoid Android 2.99. When I did this, battery was fine, except I have also installed Fongo app, a VOIP phone (I only have tablet data in my phone). When this was running (app running idle in background, not using it), my battery would drain 30-40% in just 6-7 hours while idle.
On Paranoid Android 2.99, this was the only battery problem, the Fongo app. Everything else (play music) did not kill my battery.
After 2.99 I decided to go back to stock using Nexus Root toolkit. So I installed the latest android rom, 4.4.2.
Well on this rom, the Fongo app is fine, it has almost no battery consumption. However, my battery is being killed by a bunch of other apps, including play music (that comes with google).
I have used play music for 7 hours, and you can see in the 2 pictures taken on 4th Feb it went from over 80% down to 5%.
The 2nd picture taken on 2nd Feb, it's basically from 90% down to 49% while the phone was idling during the night!. basically after charging it to 90%, I listened to google play music for 30 mins (I downloaded a timer to shut off the music), then it idled. In the morning, I see that.
First picture on 28th I believe is a combination of play music (the first dip) and Tunein Radio (the 2nd, very abrupt dip).
Can anyone help me out? Suggestions?
Thanks

[Q] Android OS taking up 47% of battery in first 90 minutes

So I fully charged my phone last night and took it off the charger around 8am this morning. My battery was 100% full. I noticed that after 90 minutes of the being on/in sleep mode, I am seeing the Android OS take up 47% of the battery.
Anyone know why the Android OS is eating up 47% battery? Is this a known issue? I am stock, not rooted, and on the latest 4.2 firmware.
anybody having or seeing this issue??
Not sure, but I also see Maps taking up a good chunk when i am not even using it...
I had the same issue the first day I got my phone. But after that, this issue has never appeared again.
Here's an update (see picture). I guess not bad then so far. The Android OS has gone down percentage wise. Also, my phone is not used when I'm at work, I text from google voice on the browser and maybe a few Google Plus Messenger messages from the phone. Other than, than I don't use it for calling or other stuff when at work.
This is because at that moment in time the OS was what had primarily used your battery, since it was your first day with it and i'm assuming you hadn't spent much time doing anything else this was reporting as 47%. If you had a 30 minute phone conversation or played a game you'd have seen a different set of percentages based on that usage

Try turning off the live wallpaper if you have one running... That was causing huge Android OS usage for me.

Battery life after 4.3 upgrade is bad.

Received OTA, installed the 4.3. But after the upgrade (about 48 hours), my battery life has taken a hammering.
Fully charged last night, did literally nothing so far. Just a few calls. No games or browsing at all. But battery is down to 50%. Stock and rooted.
I saw a few posts regarding same. But no definite answer. Any pointers what I should do here?
cheers!
Not sure why the CPU seems to be running at max frequency for such long time. I think that's causing the issue.
Nexus Battery issue aft 4.3 update
Need some help wrt my nexus 4. Charged the phone to 97% yday night and its currently at 52% aft 14hr 17min. The on screen time is 23mins. Battery stats shows that the phone was kept awake for 13hr 45min. WakeLock detector does not show any battery hogging apps as such. Any idea on how this can be fixed? The phone is on a stock 4.3 ROM.
Honestly i would re-flash the 4.3 images or something.
My phone has been 1 day 2h (or 26h) since last charge, with 2h screen on time and i have 57% battery left. Everything is stock (will flash franco.kernel soon-ish), but stock battery seems real good so far. I do not have loads of apps or anything like that yet - the phone is freshly installed with 4.3 and i only use whatsapp/hangouts/calls/sms/chrome/facebook/google now... no games or heavy use.

Sudden and extreme battery drain

Hey all.
It's the second time my battery has been drained from 50%+ to 0 in about 12min . It happens when I stream music over google play app and Bluetooth. Something I have been doing plenty times over and over again. I'm on NBD91K Build . Rooted. Anyone else?
My gf reports that her N6p, NBD90X (at&t), has died on numerous accounts in the past month where she would have 25-40% remaining battery life and then went to 0. Battery usage graph would show the severe and sudden drop in percentage. Haven't found a real solution at this time.
Yes, I noticed similar issue couple of days back with play music when connected to car Bluetooth. I played music for around ten minutes and saw that play music had taken 12℅ of battery.
I am on 7.1.1 DP2

Abnormally Fast Battery Drain

I've posted in the Android General Q&A and
in the custom ROM forum itself, but have gotten no responses.
A search on XDA and other sites yielded nothing similar to my issue, so here—
Issue: Abnormally fast battery drain. My battery would
be fully charged, and almost immediately start draining until
it'd show 1% within 2 hrs. Screen would be off mostly (normal
use).
Been on a custom ROM since January 2017 (crDroid) and have had no problems with it since,
except 3 days ago, when the problem first appeared.
Things that are ON: LTE data (or Wi-fi), Auto apps update on
Google Play Store (never been problematic before), Location,
Things that are OFF: Bluetooth, ScreenCast, Caffeine
When I check Battery in Settings, the numbers don't add up.
I'd have battery indicator at 70% for example, but Screen,
Android System, all other apps would add up to only 7%. So
that's a whopping 23% unaccounted for.
But here's the weird thing: it drains fast until 1%, then at 1%,
the phone is supposed to initiate automatic shutdown like it has before.
When this issue cropped up, the phone keeps going for about 6 hours
or so before shutdown is started. Checking Kernel Adiutor occasionally,
I'd see a much slower decrease in voltage which probably reflects
more accurately the power drawdown situation.
Things I've done:
-clear cache (both through File Explorer and TWRP Recovery)
-clear batterystats.bin
-calibrate battery after full charge/discharge (via Root Essentials,
which basically does the same thing as manually deleting batterystat.bin,
if I'm not mistaken)
-Resetting App Preferences via Setting/Battery
None of the above has worked. Any idea what might be wrong?
My device is a Zuk Z1, with a 4100mAh battery. It usually lasts me more
than a day on normal use, but as the attached pic shows, it's at 96%
yet without having used any apps yet, has only 2 hrs of juice left.
I've tried reflashing my ROM, wiping everything including formatting data
yet nothing has worked.
I'm a light user, as I don't play games or watch videos on my phone.
Neither do I use graphics-intensive apps. I haven't used processor-intensive apps
that require constant GPS (like Google Maps, Waze) since then.
EDIT: OK, I've flashed 3 other ROMs: Citrus-CAF, NucleaROM and stock, and the problem persists.
By doing the above, I've crossed out the possibility of it being the ROM. Neither is it the battery
itself, because it would've shut down by itself at 1%, yet at 1% I can last 6 or 7 hours of light use.
Anyone out there have any idea?

Try XOSP. was very good by tech mashido for battery.
And 1% don't last that much. It's a long prediction.

What exactly do you mean by "long prediction"?

For me 1% never stayed for less than a min.

Huge Android System/Android OS battery drain.

Hello,
First of all, I know there are already 5000 posts about this, but none have any working solution for me.
I even bought a new battery thinking it was its fault, but I still get 2hours+/- OST.
I already tried to reset, and for a while, very short while, it worked, I managed it to drain only 2 percent in like 15 minutes, while phone was downloading updates and I was playing clash of clans. (Screens below) (So the new battery can't be faulty, I think).
Then, after 15 minutes I started looking into the phone, using chrome and other apps and then battery started draining like crazy, something like 1.5% per minute.
Screens made at 18:00 are latest ones, after a new reflash with odin.
I have no SDcard in the phone, no known unwanted apps (only app I have installed that is not from the play store is spotify, because is not officialy available in my country) I have no antivirus/cleaner apps.
What could it be? How I could find the exact app which is draining the battery in the Android System/OS processes?
Thanks.
Screens explanation: As you can see in the first two, in the time interval of 10:35 -> 10:50 the battery drain was 2%, and from notifications you can see it was downloading updates, apart I ve been playing the whole time, from 35 to 50, that game.
3-4, Battery 25% at 11:15, ONE minute later, at 11:16 battery is at 23%.
Last screens are just to show battery stats.
