Huge battery woes

You probably get these all the time so apologies.
I've done the google and the msm_hsic_host is referenced for when you connect the phone via usb.
But the problem I have is it's there all the time, regardless of using a computer USB cable or using a wall charger.
These appear far too often, reboots help but there seems to be something wrong and I cannot figure it out.
Any and all help / advice welcome becuase it's really fustrating.
Cheers

What OS are you running? Could it be an app you installed? Have you tried flashing to stock to see what happens?

On stock 4.2.2
Will have to see on the app front.. Might do a purge and see if it helps.

Good luck. Please report back with your findings.
I was on stock 4.4.2 and got pretty good battery life.

Lol OP, I think what you're using is 4.4.2 not 4.2.2. It's time to get it right now, don't you think?
Btw, are you using stock kernel or custom? Either way try flashing stock kernel back and format dalvik and cache. If you're using custom kernel, same..flash stock kernel back then flash your kernel.

Sigh you are right. 4.4.2 of course.
Everything is stock on my nexus4, haven't even rooted it.
Which is why this behaviour is so annoying, might understand if I'd have played around with roms etc.
I've deleted loads of apps, may remove some more today if it doesn't let out. Will then think about going for a wipe down.
Cheers for the suggestions.

Maybe this will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999368
From what i've read, this wakelock is not about the USB cable per se. The 3g modem is connected to the phone as an external USB device, which is controlled by the msm_hsic_host.
In few words, every time your phone needs something from the 3g modem, msm_hsic_host is triggered.
Im on 4.4.2 stock rooted and every time I'm in a place with low signal this wake lock drains a good amount of my battery.
Maybe you should try different kernels to see if that helps.

Using other on better battery stats shows the phone is never in deep sleep.
Now just to find out why.

You need to show us the info from Partial Wakelocks, not Kernel.

Thanks yeah I know that would be more helpful so apologies that I haven't.
Wanted to if possible avoid rooting the phone but I think I'll do that this evening to see what's going on.

Frm the screen shot it seems you have background processes running(BBM n alarms). If you are always on 3g/wifi then the battery draining is normal. Or you can buy a new one for your satisfaction. Or charge it fully n dont use it just check for successive draining and if it drains within minutes then buy a new one.

Turn of features like google now and google location reporting. They consume hell lot of memory. Install greenify.

Try to check your battery if it is swollen...this is the big down of s4..
Or maybe a bad flash of your rom if u have
I'm using lindroid rom and i experienced good battery life. I also tried thunder_universe rom and thorvicc did a good job...
Try also one of any custom rom it might solve your problem

thanks to all

Plas also tell your aprox battery timing.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Where did you have the 107°F (which screen, app etc.)?
It's not that much though.
The battery should last > 10 days in sleep mode. Of course it's less when you're using it. The screen is a battery eater and you have it at 57%.

I have rooted and unlocked bootloader . is there a y good kernel for stock kitkat rom and do we have to backup efs folder before flasjing or it is to safe to direvtly flash . i also cannot sew backup made by cwm 6.0.4.9 i don't know where it is placed
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

This happened to me when I flashed SlimKat 7.6. I all I remember is that it got insanely hot, and didn't turn on until the phone cooled down completely. If this not your only phone, i'd replace the battery, and while you are replacing the battery check if there is any signs of damage from the heat. If it is your only phone, I would just keep a cable with me at all times.

Battery behaving strange

Hello, yesterday i bricked my drvice triying to root, then i fixed it by flashing a new firmware, using odin, then i did a full wipe and my battery started going down and up by one percent i tried to do a battery calibration but it stills behave in this way. It goes down and then up. Anyone experienced this?
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app

Anyone? Y performed a data wipe and then my battery goes down and when I let it settle it goes up by one or two percent
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app

I flashed alba's ultra lite rom but I think the problem still persists, when I let it settle the battery meter goes up by one or two percent and then it goes down, I don't have bad battery life so far but I don't know why I have this problem... Anyone help please.
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app

well don't worry i had it 2 when i had N900, it is a normal behavior as your device make an automatic calibration depends on your phone usage, taking an example, if you playing a game, you quit the game, your battery is showing 50% then you put your phone away for a while, you find it 51/52 or even 53 % , it is so normal & to be honest i saw this only on N900, now i have N9005 & this never happened

Thank you very much! I was getting really worried!

S4 no sound

okay so im going to start from scratch, my s4 has randomly started giving me no sound, ive had it tested and all my components are good so it has to be software.
i have flashed multiple roms, modems and wifi fix
but im willing to give anything a go just let me know!
beginning to really stress me out! i have included a pic of my current setup, cheers and thanks for the help!

does no one have a clue on this?
i was thinking maybe wait for the lollipop update and it may sort itself out?
or flash another stock rom and gsm modem only?
i have already triggered knox so not really worried about the method, anything would be of great help!

Im not sure what's goin on . It might be a Hardware issue? Try pulling the battery out / factory reset/ wipe data in recovery . If its still.doing the same issue . Wait And Let see what firmware @Joku1981 will give you . It might fix this problem . Anyways Goodnite for now .

Yes sorry to disturb you, I've had my device tested it's been going on that long it all came back okay :/ thanks a lot it's definitely improved!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

factory reset no luck, cache wipe no luck, battery pull no luck, i was thinking try flash a stock rom? have a feeling ive got a few duff ones, any recomendations?

Whether it helps or not apart from no sound, videos play in slow motion, battery when unplugged from fully charge drops to around 80% and sometimes when the phone is booted it boots with no signal and a black top bar, before restarting again normally
