Yeah neither do i see a problem here, screen time depends on your usage.. if you watch movies offline it gave me around 8 to 10 hours of view time from 100% to 5%.
Upon usage such as browsing the net and gaming and frequent texting i get around 3.5 to 4.5 hours

???
did you post the wrong picture ?
I don't see any problems.
3h50m time on, and still left 61% ?
it is quite good enough already. Means with the same usage, you will get around (roughly) 8h+ (Time ON) down to 1% battery left.

I don't want to be an smart ass, but the 61% doesn't mean the battery % he has left. It shows how much battery has the screen used in % in one charge.
If the 3h 50 min screen on time is from one charge, then this is not very good.
I assume you have your brightness set to maximum, because i have mine set to automatic (0 or -5) and in my usage tab it shows only 30 to 35%.
Are you playing a lot of games ? Could be a faulty battery. Do you have all the phone features turned on ?
There are threads on the web how to maximize battery life or how to find the reasons for battery drain.
Google is your friend.

Sent from somewhere under the sky, at the corner of this rounded earth.

The image provided does not provide any insight on how bad/normal/good the usage is.

That's normal bro
Completely normal, Display will always take up the majority of the battery life (unless you are running graphic intensive games or a program that is terribly programmed).
There are plenty of 3rd party products out there to boost your battery life. Hyperion, YESSO, Anker (Aker?) have batteries that are double the capacity of the factory ones. There is also ZEROLEMON battery that is 3 times the capacity (If you don't mind bulk this is the best for battery life).
You can buy the factory capacity battery (3200 mAh) for relatively cheap as a back up as well.
I have several and my favorite is the ZEROLEMON but I don't mind the bulk and in fact its more comfortable to hold.

It’s pretty difficult to say what the problem really is when the issue happened only once, doesn’t it? Sorry, I can’t say what the matter with your new phone. As what I understand, the phone didn’t charge immediately the second time you charged it. But then removing the battery solved the problem, so there’s nothing to troubleshoot because we don’t know if the problem would happen again.

You'll get a lot of replies from people saying they are delighted that with their battery life and claim that something is wrong with you.
From my experience with the Galaxy Nexus, I know that battery life with Android varies all over the place depending on how you use the phone and what apps you install. Install the wrong apps or get file corruption--that you can't pin down--the battery will drain just sitting there unused.
if you intend to keep the phone, I suggest getting a 12000mAH external power pack. Thanks Google for not allowing us to readily swap the battery.
Galaxy nexus 2 hour screen on time. Carried a spare battery. Nexus 4 close to 4 hours screen. I guess what I am saying is I can cope because I came from actual bad battery life.

My iphone 4s only lasts 8 hours with heavy use. Streaming movies, Sirius sat, games, web surfing.
This phone outlasts that so far with the same stuff.
But its terrible you should sell it.....
The battery has been so so for me. I'm hoping when a good kernel and Ron come it will be a lot better. I benefit from working in range of a outlet .

GS3 battery dominates the N4 battery even tho it has the same 2100mah size.
I guess the AMOLED >>> IPS LCD in terms of battery drainage.
Sucks! I guess the Nexus 4 battery life will be only slightly better than my One X =(
I personally love the threads where former galaxy note owners and droid razer maxx owners ***** about battery life.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
I swear guys I normally use same apps and on Note2 I was able to get day and day and half with heavy use and teo days with light use..but this N4 just drains battery like theres no tomorrow. Esp browsing internet..youtube..and other stuff that pulls a lot of data... The only way I can save battery is it i put brightness to almost zero and turn off wifi and data completely. I have all the normal stuff syncing and not often...facebook pulls data every 2 hours and other apps as well. I really love this device but WHY WHY WHY Google/LG decided to have non removable battery. I RESPECT Samsung so much more because they give you removable and decent battery and also give you SD card option which I can live without but its nice to have. I guess you get what you pay for.

GS3 most certainly does not dominate....
Amoled is only more efficient for blacks. Every other color it displays uses more power on AMOLED vs LCD. In fact, white uses 70% more power in AMOLED displays than LCD.
Watching 1hr video on Netflix over hspa+ at full brightness today dropped my battery from 80% to 29%. My galaxy nexus with the same use would have dropped maybe half of that.
Does that sound normal?
I'll be able to check if I have a defective unit pretty soon. I have a RMA for my earpiece speaker not working, but I'm literally stuck on a charger at all times, lol. I honestly don't really care about the crappy battery life, I still love this phone!
On the plus side, it seems to charge as fast as it loses charge, lol

I have owned mine since the 21st and I have noticed the battery to be on par with my S3 that is HIGHLY overclocked.... That being said, It could definitely be better! And the S3 has Verizon LTE so I don't know where all this drain is coming from... I use the same apps on all of my devices... Oh well! Time to get a good external battery...

Getting 3.5 hours screen on time here . with sync on , GPS on , screen 75% brightness. No issues here ,battery's great !!! " tweaking battery is waste of time . try letting it die charge it while off then another hour while on then pull charger , ( if anyone replies with letting die is bad your wrong , and u can send me all the links u want your still wrong
User error. You left a phone that has a massive 3100 mah battery for one with 2100.
My battery seems to be fine, previously I had a GSM GNex with the extended battery and my N4 has done just as well based off my usage.
I remove it from the charger around 7 a.m., use it all day for text, calls, browsing, emails. When I get home at 6 I am around 35-40% so I charge it for about 45 minutes to get me through the evening and then charge all night.
This routine has gotten me through virtually every phone I have had with a few exceptions (Treo 750 and SX-66 come to mind)
4.5 hours of screen on time is my average so far. Roughly 50% better then my Galaxy Nexus. Other than GPS remaining off, I haven't done anything special to conserve battery life. Not sure if I'm the exception, and I do wish I could swap the battery, but I can't complain too much.

[Q] Battery life...?

Third day with my Nexus 4, and battery life seems to be just like the old days of my gnex ? I am really surprised. Tried different rom and kernel combinations. My battery is draining fast. Cant blame any app since i have been running the same apps on my gnex as well as my sold s3, experienced an impressive battery life on the s3. Even tho the s3 and the N4 has the same 2100 battery ? Any explanation? Ty.

Wait until new phone syndrome wears off.
You've only had your phone 3 days, and your still flashing new roms, which sucks up a lot of juice. Let it settle for a few days.
Also a 4.7" display sucks down battery. My phone last all day no problem now that I've had it for a few weeks. First week it wouldn't last 6 hours... because I used it for 6 hours screen on constantly.

Battery life gone down the drain after firmware upgrade

Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago, Note II informed me of an upgrade. I did a bit of googling and found out it was to fix some exonys bug. Seemed pretty important so I did the upgrade post haste.
At first the battery life was atrocious (like a 50% drop). The same thing happened with my old iPhone 4 but everything reverted to normal within a week. So, I though maybe things are new and Android will fix itself up after some time.
How wrong was I ? LOL. My phone gives me just a day's worth of battery life. Earlier it was a solid two days. Which was why I justified carrying this brick of a phone. It is pretty ridiculous to see the battery drop by 30% at times in three or four hours (despite zero use).
Any suggestions to improve or remove the pathetic firmware upgrade.
1. Use the nova launcer
2. Auto brightness with the slider dragged to 1/3rd
3. 3G always on
4. The battery screen shows screen taking 70% of the battery! I have the auto off timer set to 15s the minimum.
Any suggestions guys? I am frustrated with this phone post the update. Thinking of switching back to the iPhone as atleast it gave me a day's pf juice in a much pocketable format.:crying:

I am a very simple user, I did not install any applications (just transferred some music and installed Super Hexagon)after the firmware upgrade.
Could a firmware upgrade cause this much drastic drop in battery life?

Yes, I got the 4.1.2 upgrade which has played havoc with the battery life.
But the drop has been extreme in my case.

Honestly you can't do anything. In American english, you can't do nothing!
Turn 3G off, when you don't need it. Keep brightness at as low as possible.
That's all. 4.1.2 drains juice faster than 4.1.1, it's the truth, doesn't really matter if someone agrees or not.
You could go back to 4.1.1 ROM you know and depend on your luck for that Exynos issue. Otherwise give up on great battery backup and stay with 4.1.2, like I'm doing. Nowadays I don't even monitor how much battery backup/screen on time I'm getting, on 4.1.1 it was the opposite story however.
Hey, so should I just resign myself to a gimped battery? What really hurts is how awesome the battery was before.
Any word on when samsung would release a good update?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Download better battery stats to make sure there is no wake lock. I will advise despite my best efforts the battery life has plummeted when upgrading to 4.1.2. Stick to 4.1.1 for battery life. It still lasts much longer than an average handset saying that

After updating to 4.1.2 my battery runs down about 20% quicker overall I would say. 70% for your screen seems severe. Mine is always set to 50% auto and takes between 30 to 35% of the battery usage.

If you go back to 4.1.1.... Stock even....you'll have the same battery issue.
After about 2 weeks of having the 4.1.2 (the second update I received) on DBT my battery life one day just magically got better! I had been having terrible battery life (like 1 days worth) for 3 months, and now I get home every day from work with 50-70% battery. I charge it every night, regardless of the %. But it just magically got better. I'd say give it a go for a week or 2, and see if it helps. I don't know what happened with mine, but it looks like the software just "settled in" because I didn't install ANYTHING new, and in fact, I hadn't even uninstalled anything! It just got better after using it. Do a few battery pulls / restarts, too.
I went back to 4.1.2 last night and right now I'm at 50% charge, 17 hours standby time and 5 hours of screen time... I'd say my battery issue is fixed.. for now lol
I also must say that after a week or so of using 4.1.2 battery went much better overnight. I automatically turn on airplane mode during night, and on 4.1.1 I had like 1-2% drain overnight from full charge. After updrage to 4.1.2 it jumped to 10-20% !!! Now, it is down to like 4%, which is not that bad. Still have to see how it behaves during the day, I think it is not any better. Well, at least that standby drain is (much) better....

I decided to dirty flash 4.1.2 and it worked great for me. We'll see how it goes after a week or so of use though
A thanks is always appreciated if I helped you.
Edit: After 50% battery drain in 8 hours of light/moderate use on wifi I'm going back to 4.1.1... I see no benefit of using 4.1.2.... The reason I bought my note 2 was to have a battery that will last me all day and this isn't cutting it.

I am very interested to see what people are averaging on their devices. It is the one thing that i was concerned about when i chose the One and made me doubt my selection. So far(3rd charge cycle) I am on 5 1/2 hours screen time and 26 hrs up time. I expect your phones to definitely have better battery life. Will be interesting to see. Wife has a S3 and will be looking at S4 but says battery needs to improve a bit to move to the S4. Will keep an eye on this thread.

4h20 with 20% remaining, so about 5h30. it's the 2nd charge. But yestesrday I was rather on a 6h basis, it all depends on what you do. I've tried many web browsers and they seem to drain much more battery than the stock one.
Today at work I streamed for about 8 hours on 3g. Bout the same as my og evo with extended battery

Battery life feedback

I saw quite a few topics comparing consumption with various kernels, setups, roms. But most of those are done by one person using one phone with different setup. Even if there would be variety of people, the information would be lost in discussions. Here I want you to post structured informations about your achievements in battery usage. Please post in following structure:
1. Battery life hours;
2. Screen on time hours;
3. Battery type;
4. Rom
5. Kernel
6. Screenshots to prove 1 and 3
7. Special notes, like consumption in offscreen time, and during screen on or some special undervolting or anything else.
My desire to see world records in battery life discipline.
My personal records were done on gingerbread rom with don't remember what kernel and conditions but believe it was tegracs kernel.

For a reliable test all must have the same apps and power mangment values.

I can boast!
I just hit a new record. I'm on the Bell (Canadian Phone Company) official 4.1.2. I use greenify to hibernate things like facebook and keep them from running the background. I used titanium backup to disable a host of system programs that I don't use/need. I also have setCPU running at its default settings.
Last week I made it to 7d 54m 24s
I forgot to look how much screen time I used but it made up 25% of my power consumption. When I'm at home or at work I have access to a PC so I only use the phone for texting, checking the odd email etc....
If I'm out of town I might get 2 days on it. My average is 4-5 days. I must not have used it too much last week.
I also have an Anker battery in it (as my originals charge time started to decrease). It seems to do rather well (maybe even slightly better than the stock battery).

I didn't save the main screen, I think those shots were made about 3 years ago. And you just have to trust me that that 11 hours were true. BUT there's one trick here. My phone had an issue at that time, it couldn't go to sleep. I put it by my bed and closed flipper over the screen. When I woke up, I picked up the phone and noticed that screen was just a little darkened but not off. I looked at screen time and was shocked, made that screen... The rest you know. so, you right that this result is out of range.

I went 7 days before I had to charge it. There's no way that was 7 days of screen time.. lol. Maybe a few hours of screen time in there. If you click on the thumbnail it will go to imagebam and make it bigger.
I never thought to screenshot the detailed screen page where it says the hours you used. I just took that snapshot because I'd never made it to 7 days before (even though I rode it all the way down to 1% power). I also use an Anker battery in it, which seems to give it a smidge more power (even though the physical battery is the same size as a stock battery).

No, problem. That's also a result to boast.

I got 2hrs of screen on time yesterday wid android 2.3.6 wid battery being 50% (I flashed for checking this only )
All time I was using net on edge..
So I assume 5 hrs screen on time wid gb is not a big deal...
Now I reverted back to stock 4.1.2 coz there are several features I missed in it..

Understand you, I also had tremendous results on gb (see first post) but everything is changing nowadays, and after sitting on jb for a while you can't go back even if you want.

This is my personal record back from good old Gb times...
Gathering +6 hours out of 2 days average usage was quite normal....
Now on 4.3 I'm happy if I scratch 5 hours...
Always Samsung's stock 2000 mah battery.
One day i was sick at home and I got more then 8 hours screen on time but within 9 hours...

I used to do pretty good on stock ICS 4.0.4 roms. They never released 4.0.4 in Canada so I think I used a rom from the UK. It was really light on battery consumption. Way better than gingerbread, 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.
The only downside was wiping the phone with 4.0.4 using certain programs would brick the phone so I think alot of people avoid the 4.0.4 roms (and probably why the didn't finish spreading globally).
Wow.
You guys have some good results there.
But 7 days I can hardly believe.
Cheers.
