Using this device for over 8 months now without any issue but from last 2/3 days, the phone is going out of charge quickly! I mean very quickly! 30sec talk over phone and I am 2% down. I tried by factory reset already. Did not fixed the issue. What else can cause such issue?
Some help/tips will be appreciated.

Hi
I have recently started having a problem with what I presume to be the battery of my Nexus 4. It seems to have started suddenly about a week ago, though was working absolutely fine before. I don't think it was due to any specific app having been installed. I have also done a factory reset on it, but that didn't solve the problem.
Basically, the battery will discharge to about 75%. The phone will then suddenly switch off; turning the phone back on, it simply shows the battery to be fully depleted and switches off. If I plug it into a power source, the phone turns back on and begins charging, from 0%, though seems to suddenly fully charge it within about half an hour.
My phone has not been rooted.
I would really appreciate any help/advice on this issue as it is incredibly frustrating having to have my phone almost permanently on charge.
I have attached two screenshots of the battery usage graph.
Thanks!

If you are on stock, try flashing the stock image(4.2 or 4.3 up to you) there's plenty of threads on here thatll guide you thro the process.
I've had the same issue about three times, during the first week of using my Nexus 4 (about half a year ago). I've already had my mind made up to RMA it, but waited for it's shut-off to happen once more to collect some evidence of this problem and... it never happened again. I'm pretty confident that I didn't install anything that might have helped (I only installed BetterBatteryStats to check the instant drain, but really doubt it could change anything, it's just statistics), and I've never factory wiped the phone's data yet.
I've been searching for answers around the internet back in May, but never found anything of value, so my only advice is... wait a little, and if it doesn't get better itself return it to the merchant. My previous HTC phone was restarting almost everyday from the first day I bought it, until a month later I returned it for warranty repairs and after they changed almost all internals of the phone it never crashed again (till today, since I still use it as GPS and media player when running).
Hello there,
So, I had my phones screen repaired a few weeks ago. For the last two 2 weeks or so, after the phone loses about 30% charge it will start losing signal and then regaining it and this will occur for about 5 mins and then the phone will shut down weather its at 15% or 70%.
After this, everytime I reboot the phone it will turn off within 20 seconds even though it will still have plenty of charge on it. However, It is a dirty shut down. It won't say phone is shutting down, it will just turn off instantly
The only way to solve it is to charge the phone. It will say it still has charge once I put it on charge and that the battery is not fully drained and once it reaches a high enough percentage (e.g 80%). I will be able to use the phone till it drops round about another 30% and the cycle will begin again.
I have tried switching to multiple ROMs and wiping everything of course so it must be a hardware issue. Do you think it is a dodgy battery? Or what could be causing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

I had the exact same issue; yes, you're going to have to do a factory reset, that's what fixed it for me. It's generally a good idea after an upgrade of any kind, even a small one like this, to do a factory reset to avoid any potential issues.
I have a problem with charging, my device charging 5 hours!!! from 1% to 100% on charger from HTC One M8(1,5A) I installed stock factory image 5.1.1 used flash-all.bat but problem stayed ... Please help me, i don't know what my phone doing -,-

It takes a couple hours to charge in general. If it wasn't doing that before, try a different charger, to see if that fixes the problem.
yea i have tried many cables and some just charge the phone slower than others. i find really short cables will charge the phone quicker too. anyway it seems a factory reset cleared up my battery issues so thank you for the help
My phone's battery life has been terrible...
Since I bought this phone, i would get about 24 hours and 4 hours of screen on time... Now I get about 12 with 1.5 to 2 hours of screen time.
I usually have AOD on, location, wifi/4G...
I have facebook/twitter/instagram/whatssap...
All of these have been on before with no problems what so ever...
The main issue I'm noticing is the battery drain when the phone is asleep at night... A few days ago Doze wasn't even kicking in... I wiped cache and did a factory reset. Doze now kicks in, but I lose about 8-12 percent through the night... Doze says to be working for about 5 hours. Normally when it works for that long I use 1-3% of battery...
I really feel like I shouldn't have to turn off every feature on the phone to get the battery life I'm looking for... When you pay 900 dollars for a phone, you should be able to get the phone to last the day without needing a charge...
I'm willing to change the phone from high performance to optimal... 1080p resolution is fine, but I don't want to go down to 720p...
I've changed my location settings to GPS only... I've also played with having wifi go to sleep when the phone is asleep. Haven't had to do this before...
One interesting thing I've noticed is that Nougat keeps asking me to put apps to sleep even though I've already done it. It doesn't keep the app asleep...
Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Bump... Can I get any help on this??? I bought this phone in May 2016... So it's just over a year old... is this normal for the time I've had it, or abnormal...
Strange, maybe there's a particular app that causing the issue? Even though you reset it maybe the app is still there? Have u tried booting into safe mode?
No haven't tried that yet... After booting into safe mode what should I do?
My battery isn't as good as before and I've only had the phone a few months

I'm sitting in the exact same position as you...Have tried everything, but can't get more then 12-15 hours on a charge with screen time +-2-3 hours if I'm lucky. When not using the phone I loose at least 3-5 percent per hour.
Good evening everyone. After one year, I still can't fix my "phone idle" battery drain problem.
I made two factory resets, and one repair with Xperia Companion but the problem remains: in the entire day, the Phone idle process is the one who drains all my battery.
At 12:00 pm, my phone in 3G reaches 60% of the battery. When I return home under wifi, the phone discharges a bit slower, but I can't never reach 3 hours of screen on time.
Is there a way, without rooting it to fix this software problem?
Or should I have to root it?
Thanks in advance
