It's also important to keep in mind that your location strongly influences your battery life. At home, my battery meter shows a green bar of signal if I'm home all day. At work, I get weak LTE signal and occasionally drop down to EVDO, and my battery meter shows mostly yellow all across the bar.

On a larger scale, I think this is why Google doesn't focus on fixing their battery issues. Everyone from building 42 gets amazing HSPA+ battery life on T-Mobile in Mountain View and don't have the problems other people do in the rest of the country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
But the is already threads dedicated on increasing battery life, the op could have searched so is obviously (to me anyway) trolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are dozens of threads to help increase battery life. This is just OP using a thread to ***** about battery life. There are plenty of resources he can use to help himself without coming here to complain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
here are today's screenshots. granted screen time isn't the highest, but idle is what i'm trying to show how its good. this seems typical to other threads around here.

and i also added 2 screens from a different time with 9 hours and 1 hour scree-on time.

too bad i didnt take the screen when ebook reading. but note i still had everything else going, gmails etc. it wasnt just a total dedicated e-reader. black screen does wonders..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
You're using a black background with white text? If so I can see you having no problems getting 6+ hours of screen time doing that. There was a test done displaying white and black images and black managed to stay on for 10 hours regardless of brightness and white stayed on for 5 hours on max brightness and 10 hours on min brightness.

I guess if you really want to consciously conserve battery life then try to maximize the amount of time you spend looking at dark images. I use the color inversion in the browser most of the time if I'm just reading text and fetching information.

For those people who don't want to have to sacrifice anything and get great browsing time then you really just need to get an iPhone. Smaller screen + efficient LCD by LG will net you long browser times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
yeah i saw that test. and that was my whole point, i use black everywhere possible and reading ebook especially leverages that to a huge degree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dacornholio:
My Stock battery life was very horrible, very similar to OP's but after installing Bigxie's Rom and Franco's Kernel, I can get OKAY hours on it, i.e. 4 hrs playing straight on it or like 20hrs or so med/light usage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
i'm seeing a lot of people feeling insecure with their GNex. Its ok if people criticize it.

FYI, more than half the people here are not even saying if they have HSPA+ or LTE version.

those that are getting 4+ hrs of battery life are most likely running HSPA+ or wifi mixed in.

fyi, i can only get 2.5 hours max on-screen time with LTE.

i really don't know whats worst, an Apple fanboy or an Android fanboy. They're both one and the same to me. I hold no allegiance to any corporation. Just my perspective...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Please don't treat me like an idiot. I've done the following and look at the results:

- airplane mode on

- sync off

- all in-app notifications off

- all widgets removed

- sound muted

- NFC and beam disabled

- all services stopped (the ones that I could, system services turn back on automatically)

- location settings off

- screen brightness lowest setting

- 6 minutes screen time, in order to check the levels every hour.

So after doing all that and testing for four hours, I had a drop of 3.76% PER HOUR, and to suggest that I have no grounds to complain is Fascist.

If you feel that three hours of on screen time is great, congratulations. I don't have the same sentiment and there are other people on the google forums who are getting the same poor results - there is a problem and ignoring and/or accepting it doesn't solve the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgie168:
Um, that's not fascism or being fascist.

Please stop using that term if you don't know what it means and when/how to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Had my LTE Nexus since 12/15, and I can consistently make it a whole day on the standard battery. I don't log out of gtalk, 50% brightness, I leave my auto-sync on, mobile network on LTE/CDMA. Maybe its because I'm not constantly staring at or have the need to be on my phone ALL DAY, lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
Are you on a custom rom or stock? Can you post a screenshot of your battery graph showing if there's any wakelock? That's far too high a drain for idle usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
Don't worry, brother. Some of us are also experiencing unreasonable idle battery drain, too, and are quietly working to get to the bottom of it. Pay no mind to the belligerent apologists, and you'll be more sane for it. :)

If you're on Google+, I've started a very small Galaxy Nexus circle with other intelligent users who are looking to provide data as well. PM me if you want in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.bruha:
While we're posting screenshots,

here's what I experienced at work the other day. This was on Bigxie's ROM (update) and as you can see, there wasn't anything that provoked the battery to take a sh*t around the 85% point. My screen stayed off the entire time it was rapidly declining. The day before, I managed to finish that same work shift with 70% left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah this performance is horrendous and looks like a serious bug or something. I'm glad i dont get it. I am guessing you are on the verizon version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.bruha:
Oh yeah. And mind you, I know this is not normal. I usually don't experience anything like this, but the fact that it happened on its own, as it chose, despite my efforts to conserve battery life, well it just makes me that much less trusting of my own device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dicmccoy:
I would also suggest to kill your phone completely then charge it to 100% off of USB on a computer. I do this once a month with all of my phones now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Doesn't do anything. These batteries do not need calibration. Especially not once a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dicmccoy:
Its not a calibration. Its a slow charge vs a quick charge. Same concept with your car battery and every other battery. The slower the better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
That's is exactly what that is and there is no need for a slow charge.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Slow charges, depending on the battery chemistry, are actually bad for some kind of batteries because they degrade (age) while being charged, so charging them quicker degrades them less.

Not all batteries are equal and car batteries (usually lead-acid chemistry) are very different from LiIons (usually LiCoO2).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Wow, I can't believe how much haterade is in this thread. I always had this image of XDA being full of intelligent, mature people who were incapable of doing anything but help and support one another, and this thread has certainly shown me otherwise.

I agree with the OP. The Galaxy Nexus's battery life sucks. Screen off/sleep? It'll go forever, it's great (unless you have a wakelock like the Google Talk/camera bug), it's the screen-on time that sucks. Yeah, it's probably the screen itself, and maybe some people have too many widgets or social media apps or whatever. Every phone setup is different, but many of those with complaints have totally (or nearly) stock setups, and still get numbers DRASTICALLY short of those Samsung & co. advertised.

However, none of that gives anyone any right to act so belligerent towards those with genuine concerns. Stop acting like you're a better person for accepting the (short) battery life. Stop calling people babies and whiners, and recognize that one person's complaint about a phone doesn't invalidate your satisfaction with the phone. And most of all, stop condescendingly telling people to "buy an iPhone; a smartphone for retards." Guess what: That "phone for retards" gets almost four times the screen-on time as your superphone.

I've had my CDMA Galaxy Nexus since launch day and I absolutely love it, but I do wish it provided a longer screen-on battery time. Yes, the power and HD screen come with a price, but when the battery life is significantly shorter than what's advertised by the carriers and OEM, there may indeed be a serious issue. Most of all, just because you don't feel like it's an issue doesn't mean you should get to spit on others who do. Climb down from your ivory tower.

****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
What the hell is wrong with everyone lately, was everybodies new years resolution to be an asshole or something?

To the OP:

If you're going to post about poor battery life do yourself, and everyone else, a favor and just post in the already created thread that's been stuck to the first two pages since the phone was released and has over 750 posts in it. Hint

To everyone else:

If you're going to reply to something either be respectful and stay objective or just forget about it. Not only is all that anger bad for your health, but it's going to start getting you all real familiar with the infraction system too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hettar:
The default from for the new rc3 release doesn't work on my phone, constant reeboots and freezes, so I'm wondering what other kernels are compatible with it. Currently I'm using the v52 kernel by grooby(?) But is giving me occasional reboots for no apparent reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altijd-lastig:
I had the same problem, rc3 with the onecosmic kernel did not work, I installed the fugumod kernel, works fine for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *tom*:
you need no other kernel. Just flash RC3 over your current installation. I had these freezes and reboots too. after flashing RC3 and wiping cache/dalvik-cache about 4 times ICS seems to running stable and fast now.

Give it a try :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hettar:
I tried it many times, about a dozen or so. I don't think my phone likes the lower voltages the kernel uses by default. It only booted one in three times and when it did boot it never let me finish the setup screens before freezing.

@ regarding the fugumod one does flashing that one reintroduce the media storage bug? That was driving me crazy :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *tom*:
I'm sorry that this didn't worked for you.

The media storage bug is still there even with the platypus kernel. So I think it's not kernel related.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hettar:
Ahh thanks, I hadn't seen the bug since upgrading, but I don't think I had rebooted the phone since I got a working install. I tried a reboot just now and the problem showed up. Think I'll give the fugumod kernel a try.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Well, you may not have an interest in Chipotle, but you sure made me want to eat there :D

I only have one question - isn't it different between a franchise and a B2B2C operation? Microsoft does not sell Windows Phone directly to the consumer, whereas they do sell the Xbox directly to the consumer. HTC does not really directly push Android. The carriers tend to be the ones (with participation I am sure) coming up with the marketing juice.

The carriers will market more when Windows Phone does better. I think Windows Phone will do better when it matures. It is difficult sinking millions of dollars into a product that will not stick just yet. I think Microsoft's most pressing issue is to increase development, not only marketing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sexcellent:
wow those are some great ideas. i hope someone important from MS reads this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
Personally, I think spending the money on bonuses for salespeople who sell lots of Windows Phones will be more effective than giving phones away for free. This will lead to good 'word of mouth' from the salesperson in the store ;)

And perhaps educate the salespeople there why they should encourage selling WP7 phones like pointing out the OS's good features like smooth GUI and excellent integration (and of course the great implementation of smart multitasking).

Then again, convincing these people to even try WP7 is gonna be the hard part since most of these salespeople have their heart (aka bias) set towards Android and iOS :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
That was pretty funny. But I liked this as well - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAVEl_RU8o&feature=related

Back on topic. In any case, employees will attempt to sell whatever is most financially beneficial to them. So, they need to make sure the same incentives are offered.

But, to increase their own understanding of it I think this little experiment would help motivate them to sell Windows Phone 7.

I suggest that they give 1 parent or grand parent a phone with Windows Phone 7 and one with Android. They are going to have to support both, but not in person. They must do it over the phone. They can't just fix it. They must walk them through the steps. To get the parent or grand parent to go along, they will also be compensated with free cell service, provided the phone is used.

My mother is 69 years old. When a site like MapQuest.com changes and she needs to use it, I get a call.

After that experience, I think the salesperson will be convinced that Windows Phone 7 is way better for most users that are not highly technical. The ease of use, the fact that it just works and requires virtually no technical knowledge is the selling point.

I don't think it would be as clear cut for an iPhone verses a Windows Phone though. Other than my belief that seniors will like the larger tiles over the smaller icons. Both won't have many support issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Lmfao @ the second video, "will the virus turn it into an iphone 4 ?" Man I almost woke up the dead laughing at that one. Awesomeness !

The suggestion of having to give support to a parent or grandparent is so wrong. You already know how time consuming and nerve racking that is, as do i . I've done the systematic hand holding from 1200 miles away, and no matter the desire and attention involved, it is always painful. (Desktops) linux, mac os, windows (worse here with version changes) is always the same. I can't imagine the level of pain involved with a tiny phone, big shakey fingers and poor vision/hearing.

Ouch !

I'm noticing on gummy and other roms I try that the first 10-12% drops fast then slows down to normal. No matter what kernel I try this seems to be the case. Anyone have any idea or maybe you could school me? Thanks community

I've wiped stats and tried to open and close camera, super aggravating!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
When your phone is on the charger, it will charge to 100%. After it hits 100%, it will remove itself from the charger and run on battery. This will go down to a certain percentage (maybe 95%, maybe 90%), at which point the phone will reattach itself to the charger and charge back up to 100%. The drop you are seeing is when you take the phone off the charger while it is in the midst of one of these cycles. I would assume it still shows 100% battery but drops down to what it's really at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Thanks but my battery doesn't get consistent until around 90 and lower so I'm sure your rite but why does charge to 100%

On my nexus s it stoped at 95-96%?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
I have the same "issue" but I've just learned to live with it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.rule:
this makes perfect sense! i always wondered why it did that! thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Obviously we all learn to live with it but isn't it nice to know that its an issue and not your phone alone, that's why I ask to see if my fellow community members are experiencing the same problem? I think it has something to do with the fast charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
One way around it is to unplug it for a second and then plug it back in to top it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Or charge it while it is off ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
It's really not an issue, it's just how it works. It gets to 100% and instead of charging more and frying itself, it stops charging. When you take it off the charger at 100%, it's not really at 100%, it's somewhere in between 90 and 100. The reason it says 100 is that if you let it charge all night and it said 93% in the morning you'd have already called to Samsung to complain, as would have everyone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tu3218:
The HTC thunderbolt did this as well. To protect the battery, once it reaches 100%, it stops charging. Then once it hit 95% or somewhere in the 90s again I believe, it kicked back on. You have to bump charge. Though I believe once I started installing custom roms, the issue seemed to disappear. So maybe its in the code or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Every phone does this.

DON'T DO IT!!!! :D

Seriously, bump charging will destroy your battery health.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Every phone does it. It is to protect the battery's life.

Batteries suffer when they are 100% charged and when they are really low.

That's why when you get a brand new battery is it charged about 50% because it extends the battery's life while in the shelf.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sharp75:
When I disconnect in the mornings it's always 97 or 98%. who knows when it stops charging in the middle of the night. but from 98% to 75% it is really quick. maybe because during that time I'm on the train listening to music and browsing the internet at the same time.

With iphone 4, I always disconnected at 100% in the mornings and after the train ride the battery was around 88%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
No I didn't calk Samsung and did you hear me complain? I simply asked a question and if you dont like what you read then ignore it and move on. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed. What's up with people hear?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krijs:
He was just saying that if you put your phone on for a full night of charging and woke up to see it was at 93%, you'd probably assume something was wrong and call the manufacturer. Chill out, he's not insulting or mocking you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I didn't leave it on all night but he was a little offensive by basically calling me a complainer by saying did I call samsung already

I just wanted to known if my problem was rom or kernel or maybe even hardware but coming to find out that my GN is just like that was a bit of relief. I've owned a galaxy s,nexus s but this was the first time I've seen a Google samsung battery charge behave like this. No biggie was just curious
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
In the long run maybe a little, for how long most people keep their phones it won't matter though. This was actually something HTC recommended we do for the Evo 4G cause it was the exact same way.

I actually did have one of my batteries discharge too much to where it wouldn't come back, but all I had to do was take it in to Sprint and they gave me a new one for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
I don't know how you got that from what I wrote. I was just saying that if you woke up and the battery said 95% after charging all night you'd think something was wrong with the phone, as would everyone else. The reason it says 100% is that the phone manufacturers don't want to explain that it's not a problem to a million callers a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
The same thing happened to my brother's G2.

Then I remembered, It can be brought back to life either with high voltage or high current. I plugged in to my Touchpad's charger (which is 1.3 amps I think), and the miracle happened. It returned from the dead.
