i was at 55% at about 5pm yesterday after 10+ hours of battery usage, 1.5hrs of screen, and probably 2 hours of LTE (the rest wifi). i use juice defender so when the screen is off it generally cuts data signals for me. well from 5pm to 9pm my battery went from 55% to 1% with maybe less than 30 minutes of usage (all on LTE though). i looked and no unwanted programs were running in the background.
i charged it overnight, got up and after an hour this morning of ALL standby (seriously the screen was on 3m), i went from 100% to 87%. that would mean on 100% standby the phone would have died within 8 hours, which is definitely not right or even similar to previous battery usage for me.
i restarted my phone, recharged, and so far it has been on for 40 minutes and the battery is at 99% with 2m of screen time, which makes a lot more sense. so have you ever experienced something like this where an android OS restart helps your battery, or does it sound like i might have a bad battery?

Install Carat, it will tell you exactly what is draining your battery. I'm guessing something something is syncing in the backgruond and killing your battery.

Lots of people are having an issue similar to this with ATT. Is your ATT?
i am in fact ATT. sorry i haven't seen the other posts about it, have they broken through to figure out the root of the problem? any link to a thread about this? it's very, very odd. 8 hours of battery life is no good, too.

I seem to get it when I am in a poor LTE coverage area, which includes one of my offices. It is strange. "Cell Standby" will usually have the largest battery usage in your settings. My temporary fix is to turn off "mobile data" from the toggle in notifications, especially if you have wifi where you are. You can usually tell when the battery is being drained b/c your phone will stay warm even with no apps running and the screen off. The only other thing that seems to help is restarting it every day or so. When I don't have this problem, the battery life on this phone is amazing, so I don't think it's a bad battery. If you find out a better solution, please let me know!
I'm assuming you get off work at 5 and use the phone more. If so, turn off juice defender when you leave work. Since juice defender turns off your signal, you have to reconnect every time you use the phone. That kills battery more than anything

I would agree with your deduction. Cell standby is a battery hog. I use Wifi when I am at work and home. and HSPA+ everywhere in between. (No LTE in NH)

Doesnt that defeat the purpose of having JD? Has anyone shown than JD uses more battery than not having it at all?
Fyi cell standby doesnt actually use as much battery as it reports, its just incorrectly displayed on the battery meter. Hopefully there will be an update to fix it eventually. Google it if you want to fix it manually.

Cell standby is just a reporting bug. It is not actually draining your phone as much as it shows.
There are two separate problems. There is the problem on the international S3's where it is reporting cell standby incorrectly. There is another problem with some of the ATT S3's where they are continually connecting or re-connecting to the network where they have a poor LTE signal. This is actually using the battery. You can feel the heat from your phone when you have no apps open and it is normally cool to the touch. The only solution I have found so far is to turn off mobile data, and the phone will cool down again and stop draining battery.

I disabled some of my ATT apps yesterday. I'm hoping that may have something to do with this issue, but I am in a location with a better signal today, so I don't know yet if that helped.

Right. It's just cosmetic.
I don't have LTE in my area and my battery life is okay. I use wifi at my house and at work. I just think it could be better, but i am used to my dinc with my custom rom and kernel. Amazing battery life. I can't wait until we get some sweet roms and kernels for the S3. So far i am super impressed with the phone.

i think you guys are right. the only thing that fixed my problem was restarting, which obviously also turned off/on the mobile data. how would you do that normally? just hit airplane mode and then turn it back on?
do you guys think this is a bug with AT&T that will be fixed?

This isn't a problem that too many people are having, but there are enough that it must be a bug, at least for ATT. There is a toggle in your notifications that will turn off mobile data. I don't think it is enough to just turn it off and back on. If you are in an area with bad reception, you have to leave it off or the draining continues. If you find something else that works, please share with us.

I'm also seeing this issue; battery gets hot and drains quick in sleep.
I'm running stock, and only rooted.
I do notice when checking my battery that "Android System" is taking up the majority of my battery, by a considerable amount. Is anyone else who is experiencing the drain issue also seeing this under their battery reporting menu?
Heys guys, this is my second week with my nexus 7, I'm loving it but I have "weird" battery drains while sleeping with wifi on.
I say "weird" with quotes because I believe this would be a normal behavior, but I have an iPad (I know, it's annoying comparing devices) and it lasts more than a month with a charge even with wifi on and receiving notifications.
That battery life is impressive, I know it has a giant battery and all. :silly:
I think nexus 7 regular-use life is amazing, I just find this idle drain "weird".
My main question is: what's the average nexus 7 battery drain with wifi on per hour while sleeping/idle? or a more real-world scenario: how much % do we lose overnight with wifi on?
Yes wifi while sleeping DO seem to drain a lot for me too, before i changed it to off in sleep state i had to charge at least once a day, sometimes 2, close to making the nexus 7 a very disappointing device, i also got used to ipad's long lasting battery
anyway i can live with wifi being off while the nexus is in standby and the battery life that way is amazing compared..
of course other things is worth turning off too, to safe battery life, like no live wallpaper, no location service and so on.

4.2 has definately had a negative impact on my batter, bar non !
I used to get 3 + days of normal useage(normal for me), but after 4.2 it dropped by a WHOLE DAY to only 2.
I have switched it to disable wifi when sleeping, like you... which helped gain about 22hours of battery life, taking it back to about 2 days 22 hours, but thats STILL worse than 4.1.1 with less things turned on?
Also, how can I stop Wake Locks I don't understand them but theres absolutely no need for my tablet to be doing things whilst I'm not using it?

I disagree...
if wifi is off, at least for me, when I turn it on it doesnt receive the old notifications...
if I leave wifi on while sleeping, when I turn n7 on all notifications are there... that's why I need/want to leave it on

Fair enough, but for me I would much rather the tablet do as I've told it and disable WiFi whilst not in use.
Instead it decides to do this, but then keeps causing wake-locks, so the deep sleep is never activated at therefor battery drains...
I've lost literally a day use time between each charge which is every 3 days
times that by 3, you have 3 extra days charging in 9 days, times that by the year and your up to 3 weeks extra charging a year, justify that?

great point of view, in this case maybe its not worth it, but that was the point of starting this topic.
As iPad drains almost zero battery while sleeping, I was hoping nexus/android could do the same, then it would make sense keeping wifi on while sleeping.
Since this seems impossible, maybe it's time to let it sleep peacefully :laugh:
At least battery life in regular use is great for such a "tiny" tablet. Overall I'm very happy with it :good:
Just switched from my 2 yrs old iPhone 4 to this latest nexus 4. I noticed the standby mode is drain the battery much more significant than my old iPhone 4..
14% drop in less than 2hrs off the plug and only about 22 main of screen time. Is this normal? GPS off, WiFi off since I left my house, just a few minutes after unplug from the main.
Is this normal?
No. That does not seem normal. It may be a service running in the background not allowing the phone to sleep properly. You should be able to use the battery usage display to try track down what it is
Good luck

That is actually normal. Use deep sleep battery saver or turn mobile data off when not using your phone. It empties my battery really quick too.

it depends. some days i am able to get 65% after 16 hours of little usage everything still turned on and some days the battery loses charge very quickly in standby if i am in an area going in and out of reception as it struggles to get bars. just check the battery stats and if maps is using a lot of battery then i would recommend turning off location reporting. also, you can try juicedefender to automatically turn off connectivity when the screen is off but it can be kind of annoying but it works well
Keep in mind, the display area of the Nexus 4 is 72.37% larger than an iPhone 4.

Um... that's a bit annoying. I have already turned off GPS (location service). I would expect this late 2012 phone to be at least at par with my 2+ years old iPhone 4 in terms of battery. But now, the 2 year plus Crapple phone seems to be winning the race.
Really love all of the Nexus 4, just that the battery life is putting me a bit off... ;-(
It's a manufacturer's defect with some Nexus 4s that prevents the OS from going into deep sleep mode. I know this because I've had 12 separate Nexus 4s in my possession now. A good unit will remain at 100% for 3+ hours of nothing but deep sleep with the exception of turning on the screen a few times to check battery percentage. A bad unit will drain 20+% in the same time.
The good news is I hear a fix is on its way from Google.

This looks pretty normal.
At best on mobile data you can expect about 10% battery drain per 25-30min of screen on time.
With WiFi, 35-40min of screen on time per 10% battery.
That's been my experience at least.

Do you mean that Google is putting together a software fix?? that mean it's a software glitch? but why would you have different battery drainage experience if all those hardware are running same software?
But if it is hardware defect of manufacturer, how can a Google fix it with an update?

OP, your battery drain is normal unfortunately. This phone doesn't do well when the screen is on, while on 3G. Most people can get 3-4 hours of screen on time at best on 3G. You're at 86% after 23 minutes, which equates to about 2.74 hours of screen on time. Unfortunately that's probably pretty accurate. Especially if your brightness is higher than 10%. My Galaxy Nexus used to do a little bit better, and reportedly the S3 does a lot better on 3G.
Not H or 3G data but, impressive nevertheless. Root & unlock your phone, flash rasbean (rom) & matr1x (kernel) and enjoy the benefits.
Also, put phone on 2g if you don't surf the web. Much easier on the battery.

Hey all,
I've had my 6P for about a week now and I love it. That being said I'm extremely jealous of the 4-6 hour SOT's I've been across the internet. I've been averaging 2-3 hours a day. Now that being said I think you could call be a "business power user." By that I mean I'm constantly checking emails, texts, on the phone a decent amount, etc.
Over the past few days I've tried to get better SOT but I still wind up charging my phone around 8pm every night (not bad but I hoped better). What I've tried for better SOT:
Location set to battery saving - not a noticeable difference as its hardly ever used
Battery optimization - didn't seem to matter at all
Disconnect android wear - also unnoticeable
Turn off bluetooth - nada
Turn off ambient - Didn't matter a bit
Which leads me to cell service. Mine sucks. I have ATT and at home and at work are coincidentally two spots with horrible service. Is this the reasoning for my horrible SOT? I'm always on wifi at both locations. Its the only thing I can think of at this point. Any insight?
I attached a pic of my battery stats from today around 3pm EST. Pulled phone off charger around 7:00-7:15am this morning.

Hmm maybe a factory restore is in order then. I cant really think of what else.
Cell service or mobile signal here in the UK does hit the battery but no where near as much on this phone as others ,I work in a particular bad signal area and it used to kill my HTC one M7,but not the N6P.If you bread the battery thread I done tests on just WiFi, WiFi and mobile signal and mobile signal only.On mobile signal only and being at work I still got 4h 50 m with 17% still left on the battery,So although it hit the 6hr plus I was getting on WiFi/mobile or the 7 hr + I got on WiFi only ,it still was great battery stats for mobile only .I have been tracking my stats today for a mix of WiFi and mobile and will post them once I'm down to about 3%

Even just comparing our graphics you can see where doze seems to kick in. On mine it seems like things are always in a steady decline.
Yes seems doze is not working as it should on yours,do you use chrome browser,a few reported it was affecting battery,I don't use chrome ,I also have Google now on and listening all the time so I can search when screen off,in WiFi / advanced I have it set never to keep WiFi on during sleep,I have ambient display on and adaptive brightness with screen britness set at about 60%.
So ever since I switched back to stock I've been having awful battery drain for no reason. I'm not doing anything heavy, just browsing and reading (not on wifi.)
Bluetooth and WiFi are both off. I've done two factory resets and reflashed the entire fActory image. I'm not rooted or anything.
I can watch the percentages go down constantly and I usually end up with less than 3hrs sot. There should be no reason for this when I was landing 4+hrs on purenexus.
Edit: I realize there's a lot of threads about this already, but ive done my research and tried a bunch of solutions.
It looks like my WiFi is constantly using battery BUT Wifi is off and Scanning is off. I have weak LTE signal in my area but LTE is also off.

Browsing and reading on weak LTE, with stock is most likely the culprit. I'd expect around 3 hours SoT to be about normal. Remember, poor signal can really affect battery life. You've pretty much tried everything else, however if you're using your device offline, consider using airplane mode.

It's still strange how on pure nexus with Franco I managed closer to four hours average. Should a rom/kernel make that much of a difference when it comes to battery?

Actually, ROM/kernel is fairly minimal when it comes to battery life. Usage, signal reception, display settings, GPS settings, screen on time. Those are generally the main factors. I am on the latest Chroma with GPS on high accuracy, ambient display off, auto brightness on, dark UI, with Elemental kernel and I'm getting around 5-6 hours SoT while on WiFi. I'm generally browsing with Chrome and casting and using a few other applications. I can achieve these times with any ROM/kernel I run.

Bluetooth and WiFi are both off. I've done two factory resets and reflashed the entire fActory image. I'm not rooted or anything.
I can watch the percentages go down constantly and I usually end up with less than 3hrs sot. There should be no reason for this when I was landing 4+hrs on purenexus.
Edit: I realize there's a lot of threads about this already, but ive done my research and tried a bunch of solutions.
It looks like my WiFi is constantly using battery BUT Wifi is off and Scanning is off. I have weak LTE signal in my area but LTE is also off.
