Ok, so I've had my SGN for little under a month for the first few weeks I had it I was getting great battery life, almost 6 hours screen time full day of battery etc.. Then I rooted it using one click root because I wanted some more access, since then battery life has seemingly been slowly getting worse. I have tried changing back to stock roms and custom roms, I've fully discharged the battery and charged while it is off a number of times but I'm down to 3 hours screen time and can't get a full day out off it anymore.
Is this something to do with the way I rooted, what can I do test and try and get back my battery life, this is the main reason I got this phone..
It's hard to say if it was the first update I installed/rooting or something wrong with the way I'm charging but it's certainly decreased even on a stock ROM without installing anything..
Anybody else encountered this?
Check battery stats and show us a print screen

Going to try latest firmware and just bought Odin mobile.. Hoping that'll fix it.
Won't let me add a picture says I don't have permission.. Sigh.

I have the same "feeling" with my Note. I have installed System Panel to monitor usage but I can't find anything specific that seems to be sucking the power. But it certainly "feels" like my battery is draining faster than before.
It's probably as the phone gets older, you install more & more Apps. Some of these are probably working in the background sucking your battery.

Even with a clean stock rom, it doesn't seem as good as it was without root or any updates.. Wish I remembered what the phone came loaded with, I'd give that a go..

Try Rocket Rom v17 or latest XXLA1 firmware and your battery life will come back even better than before, just me
Same "feeling" here! I will try LA1 firmware....
So I'm currently sitting on 4.30 hours screen time, 15 hours uptime with 20% battery remaining.
Running la1 firmware and la3 modem, been using stock browser. Taking lots of photos with flash too, so I think this combo has rectified my issues but I know there's more potential as this is roughly the same stats I got on my dhd, although that was underclocked and tweaked to the clappers.
Faith is resetored in my device, hopefully it improves.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has problems with their Nexus 4 since the latest update?
So far, within 24 hours I have had to charge my phone twice fully.
What the hell is going on?
Thanks

mine today started to get really hot.... it froze
upon reboot, it lost like 30% battery...
froze again in landscape mode
after a few reboots it continue to run super hot... like 65*
battery is draining even faster than what Ingress. uses
still occurs in safe mode
is the hardware going bad? i saw a few other folks having this also happen in the last week without ant solutions

i have had my current setup since i got the phone.. AOKP, Franco Kernel, undervolted -25mv, with like 215 total apps.... decent battery like, usually about 3 hrs SOT...
but yesterday was among weird to say the least.... Franco monitor will show my CPU was up to 170* at one point... but yet, my CPU usage on my monitor was with core 0-1 being less than half throtle while core 2-3 were offline... so i thought it was weird that my CPU would be so hot, yet not ON....it was so hot the phone would shutdown as soon as it got booted...
then my battery was not hot, but draining incredibly fast.... like from 88% to 19% in less than 2 hrs....
my battery usage pretty much displayed that it was the Screen consuming most of my battery.... i didnt notice GS being a problem, but im sure i would have noticed if it was
So far, i went ahead and factory reset, formatted /system /cache /data and dalvik... installed my rom again fresh.... its not acting up yet.... but for some reason i cant shake the fact its using battery much faster... i went earlier in my break from 94% to 87% in less than 10 minutes... thats not normal..maybe its just me..
so tonight i am going to reformat everything a couple times, install all fresh and see what happens before i restore everything back in the phone.

I'm with the same problem you're with. I did format everything, and the problem persists, can't really find the culprit on this.
I'm using PA 3.99 + FK, but I've tried with stock and cm, with stock kernels also.
Please let us know if you did solve the problem, and how did it, because this is becoming difficult to manage the use of this phone for me, having to carry the charger everywhere I go.

So battery life has been horrendous. It dies much faster and takes long to charge. My car charger no longer charges the phone... yet my Gnex and N7 FHD charges on that charger fine....
Qi charging works fine too (thats next to my bed)
So i called assurant, which sent me to Tmo, which sent me to Google (got it at play store) and they are sending me a new unit, since this one will be covered until manufacturer warranty for malfunction, not physical damage
Im sorry i will not have a resolution, i will revert back to stock and re lock it before i sent it back.... Hopefully i get a good one and not one with issues...
Hello,
My N4's battery has been behaving really weird over the past days. My phone completely fails to predict the battery's current charge and it often would shut off at for example 40%. When I reboot it's at 0% charge and shuts down again. The battery at that point is 'completely' empty. Which means that even date and time have been reset!
You can see the sudden battery drop here:
Stats (after few minutes on charger):
The weird thing is, that although the screenshot says 4h runtime on battery, it was running more like 8 hours at that time.
The screen time is also calculated completely wrong. It should be more like 2 hours, but it says 43 minutes:
Besides that, it happens often, that I unplug it after a night of charging and while it says 100% while still plugged in, once I remove the cable it drops to ~90%, sometimes even lower.
This was today morning after a night of charging (same day as screenshots above). Mind, that I had to replug it to achieve 98%, after I first removed it before showering it was at 91%.
I'm running Franco Kernel and Mahdi ROM. Though the problem exists on other kernels and roms as well.
Should I revert to stock and completely whipe everything? The only thing I restored from Titanium Backup during Rom switches are user apps and wifi networks. So I wouldn't consider it dirty flashing, right?
I hope the battery itself isn't damaged, since I get a maximum of 2 hours OST, where a week ago I would get around 3,5h-4h..
Thanks for your input.
Edit: Forgot to say, that another problem is, when using the wall-charger, it would tell me after 20 minutes charging from 0% battery that it's at 100%, while after a reboot it again shows only 20-30%.
try using xposed disable battery critical shutdown to recalibrate the battery
if dosent work -> rma it.

Thanks. As it has shut down again after about 3h on battery (1h of usage) I've noticed a relatively big buldge on the back of the phone. I think the battery somehow popped
I have absolutely no idea how that happened. Will write to the LG support now.

Return To Manufacturer, looks like your battery is worn out. If your N4 is over a year old you'll need to buy a new battery.

Any recommendation for where to buy a new battery?
I have same problem bro
Your shutdown at 40% mine loses network at 40% and shut down at 30%

Hi all,
First post so go easy :angel:
I've had my N4 for about 18 months. Ever since 4.4.3 (now on 4.4.4 and nothings changed) I think I have been having some probelms.....I also dropped my phone around the time of the update so can't rule out a hardware problem, anyway....
On full charge the phone is, after a random amount of use perhaps around half battery, it drops signal completely....then it start goiing crazy, opening apps clicking on things (sometimes locks up) then shuts it's self off.
Once I turn it back on it says the battery is almost out.....even though before the crash it was at 50%???? (Please see imnage below for "cliff edge" on battery screen shot!)
I have tried safe mode, I have done a factory reset and removed all and any apps except facebook. Other symptoms include forgeting wifi and other account logins!
Also worth noteing I dropped it and smashed the screen, I then had it repaired and voided the warrenty (?) because I needed it same day for work.....dont know if thats connected was working fine for a while after this happened.
I have seen various posts of this forum and other about this kind of thing but no exact answers.....any help would be great 7 months until free new phone
Sudden drop is extreme right....
Re flash factory images for a full wipe, if it doesn't work after that then its probably hardware (sadly), maybe you could get a moto g? I've heard there really good and cheap.

Sounds like something went wrong during the repair or drop and that this is a hardware issue. As suggested, try flashing full stock, but I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem, unfortunately.

Thanks guys .....Ive been doing as much reading as pos.
Some people are saying reather than the drop its maybe just a failed battery? thoughts?
It could definitely be a possibility. If you are up to it, you could purchase a new battery and try to replace it, there is just the risk of damaging something further.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Same things happen to me. I thouhgt the battery is comming to end and orderd new one but I have read that people have some similar problems after updating from 4.4.2
On nexus 5 people also have problem with to fast battery drain. I have similar problems. I lose network, afterwards battery drop from 20-40% -> 0%

Same thing is happening to my wifes NEXUS 4. Hers is a little over a year old now. It was dropped and I replaced the screen a few months ago, but ever since the new updates, her phone has been going CRAZY!
The phone randomly loses signal, battery drains quickly and apps open close (ghost touches) and then it shuts down.
I've cleared the cache, reset to factory defaults and even run in safe mode and nothing. The phone is useless now, she maybe gets 2 hours of normal use out of it before it goes completely nuts again.
One of us should roll back to 4.2.2. and report the result

Facing similar issues. Have posted it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fast-battery-discharge-t2799931/post53790262?nocache=1
Any solutions?
I am waiting for a new battery. Try rollback to 4.2.2.
ITs same on my phone after an 4.4.3 update teh N4 gone rogue before the update it was working just fine I just did factory reset got back to 4.2.1 android and its doing the same
Just to keep you up to speed...I suspect it may be the battery....or perhaps power management issue/conflict??
Trick is if I keep my battery charge above 60-65% it's fine......get below that and the trouble start.....weird. hvaing said that seems to drain faster than normal also. My hope are pinned on battery solution once Rajnus trys it.
Although not looking foward to taking phone apart to replace it
Today after the first symptom I rebooted phone and after reboot my battery was at 14%. It looks like to me that we have constant drain but system some how is not registering it properly. I will restart after every 10%
Edit: 85% ->reboot -> 57%

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from this issues as well. I replaced my screen and digitizer about 3 months ago and never had issues. Last week I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (and 4.4.4 shortly after) and started having the same issues where there would be ghost touches on the screen once I got to around 70% battery, loss of radio/signal, and when I would restart the phone, I would lose majority of the battery charge. I tried flashing stock back on the phone and the problem still is present.

Just to repeat that is exactly what is happening to me word for word.
Hello, I was nexus 5 user but for the microphone issue in nexus 5 I changed it to LG G2
So, I bought an stock G2 and I dont feel better battery from nexus 5.
It my battery usage OK? Or I need change the battery by warranty?
Thanks.
Another screen shot....
Its definitely not ok. I usualy get around 50h with one full charge ( 5.30min screen on time ).. try disabling gps and see if that helps.
Doesnt seem right. After only 6hrs unplugged you should easily get over 4 hours 30 mins sot with 35% left. Right now I have 56% left, im at 3 hours screen on time with 44 hours since unplugged. Before investing in a new battery, try do a simple reset from settings (of course if your not rooted etc)

Are you on 4.4.2 too?
I'm on 4.4.2 unroofed and untouched.
I have the same problem but at first my battery was okay and 1 month later it started to get the same time as you. Without gps and bluetooth I make about 3 hours SOT, my phone can last only 3 or 4 hoursa day sometimes if i use it a lot
Hmm, I'm gone change and reFlash stock ROM. I wish make it better.

Flashing new ROM didn't changed anything. :/
This phone is working for about 14 months. maybe battery is gone to die, right ?
