ICS battery use

I have been using my phone for about two hours straight now and it seems that android OS is using more battery than the screen. I thought the screen was the biggest battery drain.
Before you ask, this is the stats right from a fresh charge.

Nexus 7 battery drain

Hi. It has been two weeks since I got the nexus 7. At first, the battery lasted for a long time. Now I'm realizing that it is draining much quicker than it is supposed to. What should I do?

Better battery stats to check the wake locks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Turn off all the gimmicky smart features and disabled as many of the bloatware apps that you can.

Battery life for me has been stellar. Yesterday was the first full day of use for me and I was at 15 hours with 56% percent of battery left with 3 hours of on screen time. I haven't changed a thing as far as controls. Today I've turned off a few of the finger controls and will see if it saves me anything.

Battery life has been good on mine so far. Make sure to turn the always on wifi scanning off! Made a world of difference for me.

On my first charge I got 6 1/2 hours with half on screen time playing games, surfing web etc. and had 50% left! My s4 would have died twice by now.

You should tell people how to do it. Wifi> advanced> uncheck always allow scanning.
I had totally forgotten about this. But even without if off I was getting 18 hours of heavy usage, no wifi and on lte. This phone, even without turning stuff off has the best battery life I've ever experienced from an android.

Getting the best battery life I've had with a phone. So far it's been on over a day with auto brightness, LTE, push email, and Wi-Fi when available and it's already hit 6hr30 min screen on. Plus there's 23% left?! Im impressed.

Battery life has been excellent so far. Got 2 hours of screen time and only used 19% so far

Battery is killing it compared to my galaxy s3. Disabled the extra features, blue tooth, also played music with the screen off for about 2-3 hours with power amp.

Battery life is horrible!

I purposely left my phone off charge over night to see how much battery drains. In 8 hours it drained 20% with is wrong??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Sounds like your device isn't sleeping. My standby battery life is excellent, less than 1% an hour. On my old N7 I had to turn WiFi off to get good standby, on this one I usually just leave it on as it still doesn't lose anything to speak of.

So yesterday I spent the day rooting and installing CyanogenMod and still I'm losing 2.5% battery an hour in standby/sleep mode! What's the deal?

Deal is stock will always give you the best battery life. Also, ROMS usually take few days to settle after flashing.

Battery suddenly drops to 0%

Hi,
Since about a week ago my nexus suddenly started to die at about 30-40%, it depends. I don't really care about the fact that my battery is empty, but the fact that it happens on 30% and I don't receive a notification at 14% is really annoying. Is there a fix for this?
I'm running Aicp with stock Aicp kernel.
EDIT: Since I stopped charging my battery percentage hasn't changed for about half an hour.
Edit 2: I rebooted and now it's 41%.. Really strange
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It's getting worser now, it usually turns off when it's around 40% and around 50% I lose connection with mobile network and can't connect any more. I've tried different radio's but had no effect. I'd really like to know how to fix this. Or is the only solution to buy a new battery?

Take the back off the phone and see if your battery is bulging. This sounds like a battery issue. I had similar symptoms on my last phone. I took the battery out and spun it like a top.

Yeah I had it with my old galaxy Y too, my battery became so fat the battery cover didn't fit any more. But that happened slightly, this came out of nothing.

Haha, I was with friends and suddenly I noticed that I was able to spin my phone, and together with the fact that the battery was acting strange I thought it must have been swollen. And yesterday I saw a little lump.
