Lollipop battery life is terrible. So dont update to lollipop, thats what my suggestion.
Exactly opposite for me. Battery backup is much better in LP than KK.
go ahead and try lollipop.. I felt it better regarding battery consumption..

Hello guys i know thats my first thread in xda and that tread maybe looks noobish to you but i wanted to ask how is your Battery life with the OTA 4.3 update on nexus 4 i personaly installed
the update with fastboot and factory image as soon as it got realesed and until then i havent charged it yet.I ve seen some vids on yt surfed the
net and played some nfs most wanted by the way the battery status now is at 10% So how is yours ?
Was on OTA update til acouple minutes and from what I could tell, I felt my battery life last longer compared to stock 4.2.2 and slightly less than Franco's

Battery life sucked after the update. Reflashed to 4.2.2 after about 48 hours.

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...
i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time
battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

I've terrible battery usage after 4.3 update. I never had any issues before but now I get 20 to 30 percent drop during the night when before it was under 10 in the same scenario.
Android os Showing 6h usage...
Any help on sorting this out highly appreciated.
Battery life has increased a lot for me.
No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.
@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.
Maybe you can look at this:

I owned a nexus 4 when it was launched.
Kept it for a while but sold it because of the poor (at the time) battery times with stock 4.2.
My question is if anything has changed since then in terms of battery and/or performance with the latest kit kat 4.2
Can battery runtimes get any better with custom roms ? Stable one at least...
Thanks in advance.

Well, everything has changed. There are a variety of kernels that greatly improve battery life..so I don't see any consequences to sell N4 just because of that

That's actually about what you can expect in battery life, and if by the battery life some of us get you mean 24 hours or more then you have to keep in mind some of these people disable a lot of the functions on the phone by fleezing/deleting them

I'm exactly like you , i was always flashing AOSP roms then turning back to stock rom , for about a month
But finally i'm running a stock 4.4.2 rom , waiting for the 5.0 lollipop . Customs roms are good when your device don't get updates any more + i didn't find a rom as stable as stock firmware
Still have 56% of juice

I keep hearing people say that their battery life heavily improved on MM. Mine sucks. And I have a new anker battery so it's not the battery. Battery is terrific on CM13 and decent on one of the 5.1.1 roms. However CM13 has too many bugs and the camera on stock MM seems way better than on the LP rom I was using. Anybody else have this crappy battery on stock MM? What gives?

Alright I've deleted a ton of stuff with Root Explorer. We'll see how it goes. One thing that does happen is I'm constantly getting the refreshing sim message on the stock radio. I use a cricket sim card and if I flash the ANK5 Kitkat modem as someone suggested around here in another post then the message doesn't show up nearly as often or at all. I'm wondering.....is the Kitkat radio just better? Is the LP and MM eating battery when it's displaying that message?
