Battery screwed up? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday when my n4 was plugged in the charger, I switched in my 3g and clash of clans (a game) for around 10 min. The battery was fully charged at the time of opening the game. After 10 min, my battery was 99%.
Also I've noticed the the battery lasts like 5-6 hours on wifi. My phone is full stock. Now thinking of rooting for a better battery backup. Suggestions?

You're battery is fine. Rooting isn't going to change anything. Playing the game takes a lot of juice and the charger didn't keep up. That's all.

[Q] How's battery life with gaming?

How is the battery life on this phone while gaming? Does it significantly drain the battery? Are you able to get through a whole day without recharging while also playing some games among doing other tasks?
I can get thru a whole day with about 90+ minutes of screen time playing tapped out and maybe another 20 minutes of angry birds. Also streaming SiriusXM and podcasting. I'm currently on hour 18 11% left with almost 3 hours screen time on the vzw version.

pretty good! How graphic intensive is tapped out compared to something such as the modern combat games?

Probably not as intensive as modern combat games. It's just mind numbing and that's all I need to help decompress while on the sh!tter.

[Q] Verizon G2 battery life

Hey guys im just wondering if my battery is funky... i just got this g2 yesterday and am running off a full charge since 6:43 AM its 9:51 AM now and its at 91% i really havnt used it to terribly much since im in school but it seems that since it dropped from 100-99% at 8:34 AM it seems to be draining quite fast now even when its sleeping... i havnt messed with the settings to much so is there something bloatware or software wise thats making it run out fast or by the times given am i just tripping and my battery life is fine, i just feel like the 3000mAH should be doing alittle better than this..
THANKS in advance!
I can tell you with my Verizon G2 I get awesome battery life other day I was at 16 hours 8am-12am with 2hrs screen on time 35 mins playing games and 2hs 25min of streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. I was at 52% after all that. Don't know if that helps but that is what it is for me. Since got phone it has never dipped below 50% in up to a 18hr day for me.

are you a heavy user?
Tmobile variant
I have the Tmobile G2. I'm a bit concerned about my LG G2 battery. Can others suggest a test that we can both follow so that I can compare my battery life to yours. The phone seems to be alright when idling for 8 hours as I slept it only lost 3%. When it comes to charging it went from 0% to 52% in about an hour, and was at 90% on its way to the 2 hour mark. But when using it just to browse and stuff it seems like its dying a bit fast.
So let me know things like screen brightness, apps to run and what not so we can compare how long our batteries last. That way I can return it before my 14 days are up. Thanks for your help in advance.

i constantly close all my apps and keep my brightness high enough to see but as low as i can to see... right now my batter usage is at 4hrs and 3 mins and im at 85% currently its saying i should still have 22hrs and 47mins but that seems impossible xD
"I have a theory"
So im going to wing this out for the rest of today and let it run down without charging it agian... if it lasts me all day ill post because im having a theory that the way the battery percentages on this phone are different cause of the new technology in the battery cause it seems that certain percantages last FOREVER then others go through rather quickly i think im just used to how my old phones percentages escilated ill repost when it dies or when i go to sleep
I would say I am medium to heavy user I stream music via Bluetooth everyday talk for 30 plus minutes on Bluetooth a day and play music in car hour a day and play games hour plus a day and I leave brightness on auto never on Wi-Fi lte only and I close all apps.
I charged my phone to about 94% went to bed with it at 89%. Woke up with at 86%, 8 hours later. My brightness varied through out the day from 23-60%, currently at 40%. Mainly did browsing and fb for a bit today. For about an hour while browsing the phone was on airplane mode with Wifi on. As of now at 54%, battery usage 16h 2mins, expected time to use +18h 54mins, last 3 hours in use, used 9%.
My battery use details:
Android System 25%
Screen 22%
Android OS 14%
Chrome 8%
Cell standby & idle 6%
I run near max manual brightness, a live wallpaper, GPS, WiFi on all the time, automatically checking email every 10 minutes, lots of phone calls and texts, and I still have 79%. Off charger since before 7a.m. Software says I have 36 hours left. Best battery life I have ever had on any phone, any Rom.

That's crazy my phone has been on for 19h 29mins without all that auto sync and other stuff you have running and I'm at 35% with an expected
6h 29mins left. You think something is up with my phone ?

Well, that's still not too bad. Are you a gamer? How's your signal most of the time?
Also, I'm on VZW, in case that makes a difference.

Not a gamer, tmobile usually 3-5 Bars 4g lte. I dont get how it just dies so much off of browsing alot but so efficient when sleeping. My phone is at 11% now after alot of browsing and talking on the phone for an hour. As I type this I've been on a phone call and googling info about battery tests for 45 mins.
this is complete BS!

i have a verizon version and compared it to my moms 4s battery running iOS7
heres the deal her battery usage is like 3hrs 7mins mine is 6hrs 23mins mines at 2% hers is at 51% we both unplugged the same time so this means im getting the same battery life as a 4s running iOS 7 plus she keeps her data and everything on i turn mine off when not in use... so did i get a defective battery? cause if my battery is the same as a 4s running iOS7 im not gonna be a happy person i know i should get at least 15-16+hrs of battery use and still have like 20-30% left! UGHH and my phone reboots into the verizon logo alot when i unlock it i think i got a horribly manufactured g2... just my luck what do you guys think?
It feels like i have the original droid razr battery life agian Dx my razr m lasted longer!
Unplugged my phone at 98%, went to bed woke up with it at 95%. Then had the screen on for an hour straight just messaging ppl on fb. Now I'm at 87%, that's not normal right? Screen is on auto brightness nothing else going on.
Can anyone confim that this is normal? i have an LG g2 with 3000mah and i loose 1% of battery every MINUTE while playing games, so 10 minutes of modern combat 4 or plats vs zombies is around 10 %, 60-70% brightness, sound half way or headphones. Some people are speaking about "5h of screen time easily" while i get 2-3h ...
My battery seems fine but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND not using the standard "fast charge" method to charge it over night. At night I recommend either a Wireless Qi Charge or a "Slow Charge" from a standard USB port or a smaller charger like one from an iPhone (the little cubes with a USB port).
There is a HUGE difference on battery life throughout the day between a Normal Fast Charge and a USB Slow Charge.
I only use Fast Charge when I'm out and about throughout the day but I haven't needed to do that with the G2. On my Galaxy Nexus I could fast charge it to 80% and it would be dead in 3 hours just idling in my pocket.

LG G2 Battery Life

Hi i have a lg d801 running kit kat. Im getting 4.5 hours of screen on time. I dont play any games or listen to music. Im just watching youtube videos and on social networking. I was wondering if this is the average screen on time.
I use mine in between classes for about 20 minutes at a time. Then for an hour at lunch and until about 7:00pm. At that point, I have MAYBE 3h screen on time and I'm down to 20% when I go to plug it in.
I think it's normal.
Re
I usually get about 5 hours of Screen-on time using stock ROM w/ root.

i think it's ok...
since you mostly use internet connection (wifi or mobile) - that in combination with screen on drains the most out of the battery... (i.e. facebook itself is one of the biggest drainers on my device after screen)
also - video playing drains the battery too... so it's ok i guess...
i also don't play games and get around 5, 5 1/2 hrs SOT (i read articles mostly + social networking + youtube here and there)

Sounds about right to me. No need to worry. :angel:
7 am 100% charged. Used 1.5 hours at school. Then used the whole day. 9 hours screen on time
I think these LI-PO batterys wear out a bit faster than LI-ion, after 6 months my screen on time with my usual usage started to decrease, in the past I had about 5,5 h of screen on time within a period of 48 h, now I barely get 4,5. I've tried a few rom+kernel combinations but I always get the same result, i think I will try my old stock non rooted rom for a week just for the fun of it to see what happens.
Did anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?
On stock roms i get 4,5 on average too. On aosp/cm ~7.
4-5 hours sot here as well. However I do sometimes manage to get maximum 6 hrs sot when i have light-moderate use.
any changes or still the same?

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the OnePlus 6 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
5 hours sot.

First charge cycle, only 4g was used, two sims in phone
Here's my second charge cycle. The first one was only 78% to 43% over a working day so no point posting that.
Not quite 8h SOT but I'm happy with this. Day's use included 24 minutes of continuously testing the camera.
Very happy with the sot.

Facebook is probably the reason
I'm getting between 4.5-6.5 hrs SOT, i'm pretty happy with that!
interestingly Accubattery only shows a 3010mAh battery looks like mines a bit worse than it should be but still very happy coming from a nexus 6P which struggled to last 3

OP5 Pubg Mobile Battery Usage

Considering A OP5 right now and battery life is very important for me.
I'm pretty sure that the 3300mah battery mated to the sd835 are allright for normal use but how much drain do you get when playing pubg? and at wich settings?
Thanks yall
I've only played it a few times but I didn't notice any any terrible battery drain. However I'm not a big gamer and didn't play for longer than maybe 40 minutes.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
I do a fair bit of gaming and played PUBG for a while. I can say the battery life on the OP5 is pretty damn good. I generally get about 3.5 to 4.5 hours of SOT gaming but this is while playing various games not just 1 in one sitting so I can say for certain about how much you will get on PUBG on max settings.
I have been playing Ragnarok M for the past 2.5 hours and I started when my battery was 100%. After 2.5 hours of SOT, I am at 60% right now. Ragnarok M runs at 720p so not as intensive as PUBG.
Update: 4 hours and 40 minutes on Ragnarok M and 18% battery left.

I've always found this phone not exactly great for standby time but very good when it comes to extended heavy usage like watching YouTube videos or browsing and even the occasional times I have played games.

My SOT is 4-5 hours without playing, when I play in PUBG after 2 hours I have to look for the charger.. I use OOS 9.0.3, and you what Rom + kernel?

I am using 9.0.3 with xXx Magisk rom 4.3. I use Affinity kernel with L Speed set to the battery profile. I have no issues with lag in gaming with this setup.
I play PUBGM for close to 5 hours on Graphics as 'Smooth' and FPS as 'Extreme' with anti-aliasing turned off along with auto adjust(?) of graphics. I am left with 15 to 20% battery at the end. I am using the OB26 with the stock kernel and no changes to the system apart from bloatware removal. It's also worth noting that I only have ~30 apps installed on my phone and ~10 of them have the permission to stay active in the background.

Will you give a link to OB26? OB24 is on the official website
With stock settings and a good brightness level say about 60% with settings as Smooth and Extreme you can get a 25% per hour drain at the maximum. Mostly it averages between 20 and 25 per hour. So expect a sot of 4 to 4 and half hours.
Also do consider your battery degradation also to account. My phone is almost 2 years old so it has lost some capacity.
