How old is the battery? You can pick up OEM Samsung replacements for like $7.00 on amazon. I have 3 myself.

Have you tried using a different kernel? Matr1x and marmite work best for me!

Well running pacman rom with matrix so gonna see how that does

Did you turn off auto-sync?

Looks normal to me lol... I'm getting horrible life... My 4G never turns off and I'll get maybe 3hrs screen-on time... Running stock 4.2

since you're talking about battery issues, idk if this is "normal" or not, but just now, my battery was at 38%, so i started to plug it in, tried doing a reboot and when it finished rebooting within seconds, all of a sudden, the battery jumps up to 60%...i think my phone's battery is fu**ed up

that always happen to me too ... deleting stats isn't usefull ... maybe it's a battery problem ... my battery isn't perfect but it can make about 2 - 2.30 screen on time and a total of 14 hours all sync active ... a newer battery could give me probably some more juice

Yea same result running matrix so I think its the battery
Hopefully.....

I forgot to mention that my battery was replaced a few weeks ago!

using straight aosp 4.2 with any kernel gets me at best, 5 hours of standby time. I noticed this about a month ago and immediately started looking for ways to prolong my battery life. What seems to be working best for me is disabling mobile data when I'm not using it. Just this one setting gives me a boost from 4-5 hours in standby to well over 12 hours of normal use (of course, with the exception of any web service). I have come home from 13 hour shifts and still had 30-40% battery left several times!! However, this only happens if I disable mobile data.
Something needs to be done....and QUICKLY!!! My phone is pretty damn well useless for anything involving internet connectivity unless I'm using wifi
btw, my battery is about 14 months old.

I'm pretty sure the battery drain is from 4.2, when I was running 4.1 I had no issues

Does my battery have any problem !?

Hi there ,
Over one week ago I got a used nexus 7 wifi. Everything is good except battery drain.
My tablet has 4.2.2 stock rom that With using wifi in internet surfing it lasts 5 hours about one day !
Does it sound any problem about my battery !!?
What's wrong with my device !?
Thanks in advance.

5 hours of constant use?? If so....that's about average or so.

Thanks for your response buddy.
Yes , about 5 hours ( actually 4-5 hours and mostly 4:30 ) of "screen on" plus using of wifi (only when I want to use the internet ).
Then in your point of view it is normal and my battery hasn't any problem?
Thanks

Surfing uses moderate battery....since its always loading images and whatnot. I can watch about 7 hours of video, about 5 of surfing, less than 4 playing most games, and 5 or 6 of reading. Those are about my averages anyway.
I get about 24 to 48 hours on a charge with our usage patterns anyway.
Hope that helps! And no, I don't think you have a battery problem.
You can flash roms and kernels, underclock/undervolt and tweak like mad to get a couple more hours out of battery....but doesn't seem worth the trouble. To me anyway.

net and played some nfs most wanted by the way the battery status now is at 10% So how is yours ?

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:

Nexus 4 battery

Hello, I just had a 3hr 30min SOT time with some fairly heavy usage (gaming) on my nexus 4. Is that considered good for the N4 and how could I improve it?

That's pretty normal I guess. I get about 4.5 hrs SOT with browsing, occasional gaming, messaging.. I think there are users getting a lot more than that!
You can try out different ROM+kernel combos to check out how your battery performs..

Nah, I rather not try them out. I like getting ota updates and hate factory resetting hehe. Any other ways to improve battery life without flashing anything or rooting?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Turn off background programs.. Autoruns.. turn brightness down .
Still you are gaming on a phone. How long do you Toni the battery is going to last with your gpu and cpu running full bore?
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!

I can get 5 hours of on screen time during the work day. Using for browsing, txt, light calls. But during a weekend, 4 hours on screen time with heavy use of YouTube, gaming, and calls. I'm also running a custom rom and kernel. When I was stock I could not even get 3 hours of on screen time doing anything.

3.5 hours of SOT is good man. Especially if you were playing games and what not. I usually get the same in a 15 or so hour day. And your stock you say getting almost 4 hours of apt.. That's awesome man. ..
You can turn off a bunch of shat like GPS and BT and auto sync and blah .. But then what's the point of your smart phone..
Two things.. There are other threads about SOT that you could post this.. And don't let these "oh I get 5 hours of sot" guys get to you. Half of them are either lying about the sot or the usage their phone had that day.

(4.4 with ART) How are your battery stats? Post pictures here with screen on time!

So i flashed my device and is now running 4.4 with ART enabled. Performance is definitely better but I want to get some extra juice out of it (considering that im 5h 6m at most with SCREEN ON TIME)
Share your experiences with pictures if you can please (with SOT)
Attached are battery stats from my previous Clean ROM with faux kernel just to give you an example

EDIT:
(referring to the pictures attached) Yeah. I was playing Asphalt, had wifi most of the time (even if there wasn't a hotspot), watched The Way Way Back via Mx player, Juice Cubes and was reflashing the ROM after having trouble with Xposed Framework patch.
PS. Sorry this was from my CLEAN ROM WITH FAUX KERNEL so what I'll post next is my latest Kitkat setup + stats

Not so pleased with these stats, but my Nexus 4 had record breaking stats! I have never had more than an hour of SOT, but today I got three! Running KitKat and ART.
Well, for my N7 it is a different story. Take a look.
That is the worst stats I've ever had. Let's give it a day, like I did on my N4.

Your kernel is at 69%. Either you switched to ART directly before this run or you have a rogue app that's not showing up in the stats. Reboot, recharge and try again.

Ok. That's probably the AOT compilation. Give it another boot without any new apps and you'll see more characteristic battery life.

No games. I don't do much gaming. Can play some rayman jungle run on my next charge.
Just one hour left til 3 days standby, already 8h screen on and 10% battery left. I'll reach 9h SOT without a doubt and on 4.3 I could only get that with one day standby. So standby time is the biggest improvement.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Auto brightness, mostly streaming and downloaded video, browsing, etc. 6 hours screen time takes me down to 45%. I don't often run it past there, but if I did, I should be able to get close to 11 hours screen time.

Wow, i used to think my nexus 7 had a decent battery time. Maybe i should try running on art and see if there's any difference.

Hey, here are my results after an normal Sunday with some gaming, web brosing and just normal stuff you do with your Tablet
