i hope so...i was on harsh kernel and the Android OS reached 30% of battery usage with 2hrs of keeping the phone active in 20hrs of battery life. Everyone tells me that there's an app who sucks battery but i have the same apps that my girlfriend has and she does not even has that "keep active" status (she is stock).

So i've flashed franco kernel and the android os still grow up. Now it has reached 30 mins and the phone is on only from about 3 hrs. Everytime i let the phone in standby it grows up. I have installed only better battery stat and facebook, twitter. Only 1 dash clock widget. Sync is on only for gmail, contacts and chrome. Position is synced but gps is off.

However my girlfriend nexus 4 has everything on and as i said....she doesn't even have the "keep active" status under the android OS battery stat.

Im on paranoid rom and the dev has told me that it's not rom related (no one with pa has this weird stat).

Ive noticed that in BBS, in the alarms section, the phone has:

- 87 wakeup from the android system, with 44 intent for a SYNC.ALARM..

- 68 wakeup from android.phone, all wakeup caused by the gprs-data-stall intent

- 54 wakeup from android.gsf, with 34 intent by android.intent.action.SEND_IDLE

Kernel Wakelock are not so bad. I have

5 mins of powermanagerservice

3 mins of msm_hsic_host

2 mins of sns_async_wakelock

1 mins of alarm_rtc and radio-interface

The phone is on from about 4 hours now and with 1hr of SOT im just at 60% :(
[Nexus 4 General] Dan4u:
yep its my first day, what concerns me is if its the "msm_hsic_wakelock" issue. because "android system" never took more than 5% in the stock kernel....

[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Mischief:
Sync off, maybe 30 minutes of 3G screentime, and Google Now on.
[Nexus 4 General] Trewyy:
Completely wipe everything on your phone and flash stock 4.2.2.

Then root, and flash a custom kernel but keep stock Android.

If you're issues persist call Google and ask for a replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] Xers662:
Getting Screen time of only 2 hours. Normal usage, reading, what's app, some temple run. Having this battery issue since I was on PA. Now on Xylon with Franco r102 with interactive governer settings, still no use :(
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:
Is it the first day with this setup? First few days are always gonna have bass battery life but once system settles in, you'll probably have much better battery life.

Also you did seem to play temple run a lot... That probably drained good amount of battery life.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
Hi guys, there s no one who can help me with my issue. Id like to resolve this before opening another thread on troubleshooting.

Im on PA with franco kernel. But this would happen with every kernel.

I've just factory wiped my phone and flashed the new pa rom and franco milestone. The Android OS keep active status continues to grow insanely. And ive only gmail installed :confused: it seems to grow only when i turn off the screen.

Rom dev told me that is not rom related (no one with pa has the same problem)

Kernel devs told me that is not kernel related

I can now suppose that this is not apps related, Ive flashed common gapss for paranoid rom, that's the stock pack.

If i turn stock ( i did the procedure on sunday) the problem seems to disappear so is not hardware related...

What the hell causes this awake status??? :confused:

[Nexus 4 General] raggatokan:
Really decent battery life (at least after 1h45m of screen on on h(ate)TC sensation)

As you can see there are 4h of screen on on autobrightness, 43 min of phone calls, and 41 min of music listening. Sychronization always on (but night) on 3g or wifi.

Im verry happy with battery life on nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] Crisisx1:
No I don't use auto brightness.... I put it to about 30%...I'm still on the stock kernel slim bean came with... Works great I don't see a reason to change it

[Nexus 4 General] w.andi:
what kernel and rom you using ?.
[Nexus 4 General] Hung0702:
This is my battery after the first day. Still haven't let it zero, probably won't ever let it completely drain by intention. As you can see, I used a hone a great deal. I was on WiFi the whole time. I've also forced gpu rendering. Gmail and an exchange account push-synced. Google+ not syncing, Facebook and Boid syncing at their longest intervals.

Mostly browsing on Chrome, xda, and reddit. A few dozen texts and a couple emails sent. A few YouTube videos and about 10 of the free Play store movies you get with purchase of the phone.

Coming from a Galaxy S, this phone has far better battery life and I definitely see it lasting a full day for me!
[Nexus 4 General] mobilehavoc:
Not that bad, I'm hoping it will improve with software updates and battery cycling.

Was about 30 minutes of phone calls and an hour of Bluetooth streaming.

Pretty sweet how you guys are getting 3 hours of screen time. Is that with Google now enabled or dissvled:?
[Nexus 4 General] Stadsport:
Disabled. I see about 3 hours on HSPA, but 4-5 on WiFi depending on use. I posted it earlier in this thread, I got 5.5 hours of screen-on time my first battery cycle.
[Nexus 4 General] bastic:
Im not getting anything close to 3h on screen time..

I think I have all possible syncs off ( apart from gogole mail,calendar etc)

yesterday, google music was on and ate too much battery...I have used it for around 1h, and yet it was eating battery for 3,5...

waiting for fix from Google as energy saving process is eating battery like crazy
[Nexus 4 General] shantam:
try calibrating ur battery
[Nexus 4 General] wasya152:
So I started freaking out about the battery life and went and bought another nexus phone just to test. I basically would run the same app or YouTube video and compare the battery drop off. Both phones had about the same performance. I've had mine for a couple days and it's been through a couple charge cycles. However, Interestingly, the drop off was not linear. In one test, I ran both phones from 19%. The new phone after a couple minutes dropped to 14, while my phone stayed at 19. Then the new phone stabilized and the old one started to drop off. But as it got closer to 10%, the gap closed to 2% difference. When the new one died, the old one had 3% left.

It might be wishful thinking, but the battery seems to improve on my phone. I wish hey just stuck a 3000mah battery in there and called it a day. I would not care if the phone was a little thicker as long as it lasted all day.
[Nexus 4 General] metaltyphoon:
Don't have a nexus 4 , but I'm watching this thread closely... anyways this is so true. for instance my gs2 runs hot after I opened the engadget app and closed it. When I felt it hot and looked on the task manager the stupid app was using 48% of my cpu all the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even being off !!!
[Nexus 4 General] Desvbo:
Ohh how strongly I disagree with you (about the Galaxy S) :

But seriously guys. Just turn off all this fancy background data, dim down the screen brightness and we will be able to also squish 7 hrs out of this phone.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Chrisch-RT:
i can live with the battery, can use it "heavy" a full day and thats ok
[Nexus 4 General] konfuzed:

[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:

[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
No freakin way, six hours screen time!! I want YOUR phone
[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
I have a really good feeling about the battery. Once kernels start pumping out, we should be getting above average battery life AT THE LEAST.
[Nexus 4 General] alpha beta gaga:
i went to sleep last night at 1130pm with 60% left and got up 740am this morning with 56% left. during that time wifi switched off, 2g only, mobile data on, twitter sync and possibly google now sync(?)

so 4% drain in pretty much a complete 'idle' state over 8hrs. seems a good figure to me.
[Nexus 4 General] yfbc:
That is amazing, 3 days !

I don't agree with turning all the background data off though, I have a smartphone because of its ability to do everything in the background. It annoys me that the only way to save battery is to be the smart one whilst my phone is frankly stupid with data/power management.

Might I ask what exactly you used your phone for during that time and what options you had enabled/disabled?
[Nexus 4 General] blackplague1347:
Battery is okay. Screen on results in pretty severe battery drainage, it seems. Although this is only day two, the chart speaks for itself. Will see of this improves over the next couple days.
[Nexus 4 General] alpha beta gaga:
depends if the phone was switched on or off? i'd say 3hrs is probably about right if you had it switched on whilst charging. 2 1/2 hrs if off?
[Nexus 4 General] Simer03:
I was at 30% before I started charging and I had 3 hours and 20 minutes screen time! Awesome battery! Franco kernel btw

[Nexus 4 General] persheshhater:
on wifi one can get 6hrs using custom kernel uv-ed. but yes 5 hrs not bad as well depends how you use it.
[Nexus 4 General] walkingmike:
This is just my experience, but what I find is that the screen always makes up for the biggest part of the battery life. If I set it on minimum, I can get way more than enough battery to last through the day, regardless of the amount of calls and data usage I do.

However minimum brightness doesn't quite work if you often move between indoor and outdoor settings as you can barely see the screen when you're outdoor. That means auto brightness is the one to go for, unless I want to keep adjusting screen brightness every time I move in and out a building.

Now this is where the battery killer is. You walk out of a building, start using your phone while outdoors and the auto brightness will have to kick in some pretty strong brightness so you can read the screen in bright sunlight. Bam, that's when the battery is gone.

It's funny because I'm always more active on my phone in the morning, before lunch time and yet since I'm usually indoors at those hours, I can hang around the 80-90% batter life pretty well. Then comes lunch time, lots of time outdoor, and bam my battery drops like crazy in just 1-2 hours time that I'm outdoor.

And the battery graph always confirm this too. Screen can take up to 40% of the battery life, easy.
[Nexus 4 General] davidsteele1975:
For my take on the Nexus 4 running 4.2.2, I find that I can easily get through a day of my use. I'm often in WiFi, I have a 90 mile commute, but I'm usually a lightweight user in 3G unless I'm listening to music. My screen on times are not so good, but I don't mind, because it gets me through a day.

I find it to be comparable to the Galaxy S III, slightly better than the HTC One S and not as good as the HTC One V. Each to our own of course. :)
[Nexus 4 General] qwertyas182:
I am on PA 3+ 11march update, franco kernel M1, UV-100, ondemand governer, use 3G connection all the time.

[Nexus 4 General] ashishv:
I would say no.U should try the latest nightly by franco,users report that it gives metter screen on time.:cool:
[Nexus 4 General] davidsteele1975:
Surely, if it's good enough depends on the user..? We can't judge what's good enough for somebody else without knowing more about it.

Depending on my mood, no current or planned smartphone has good enough battery power. I want something that gives me a couple of months of as much use as I want. One, two days; not enough... :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] CloudyPear:
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but hopefully someone can help.

I use HaxSync to sync my contacts and calendar with Facebook and for some reason it's causing a Sync error when Google syncs contacts. Now the contacts actually sync successfully but it has that weekend sign and says it's not synced in ages.

BBS shows that Google contact sync is registering a partial wake lock. I'm assuming it's trying to sync constantly because of the fail.

Very strange. Anyone got any ideas?

I should say I have Sync turn on/off with power and when off power sync on the hour every hour but that should only be a few times a day.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] walkingmike:
I'm gonna hit 5 hours of screen time today, and yes that's from staying away from bright sunlight. Phone usage has been very active today, emails, calls, camera, Google play downloads, tapatalk, franco kernel download, tweaking the launcher.

Ps the screenshot is darker due to gamma settings.

Funny the screenshot is way darker than what I'm seeing here on the phone.

I have yet to get more SoT with "normal" usage on lazy days.

This might show some people that it is possible to have great battery life. All you need is some luck with wakelocks and stuff.

I UV'd a lot with Matr1x to 650 mV @ the lowest freq and 925 mV @ 1.5 GHz. I UC'd the CPU to 700 MHz (still snappier than my dads iPhone 4 due to the PUB build by Bigxie) and the GPU @325 MHz.

I was on Wi-Fi for the first 80 battery percents and 20 on mobile data.

Without Wi-Fi I get about half the battery life.

One tip for better battery on Wi-Fi: Switch to 2G network. It won't cause any speed losses but due to the better reception it takes far less battery.

Funny how I became so obsessed with my battery life ...not anymore. At the end of the day I would either like the battery to last a week with normal use, or have a battery that can fully charged in a couple of minutes (this tech currently exists). Till then I'm just going to get the wireless charging orb, which I just place my nexus on when I'm not using it. With full battery almost all the time I shouldn't be caught in a situation without battery. Right now I get about 16 hour w/ 4 hours screen time which is a HUGE improvement over my HTC desire HD. I'm just going to call it a day, and be happy with what I have. I think this phone should last me a good couple of years unless something super compelling is released.

Battery Life

My battery life is not so good :(

I am rootet on Paranoid Android 3+ with Franco Kernel 110 m1.

brithness is 60% the time on the lowest setting and the rest on auto.

I play about 30 min a day games like angry birds or bike race.

I browse the web for about 30 min and the rest of the time I use Whats app and Facebook or just use my phone as a clock.

I listen to music about 45 min a day and all in all i do not get more than 3 hours of screen on time :( nothing helped so far ...

Same here

My setup is just like yours and I switched to the faux kernel and put it on economic mode with snake charmer on as well and I've seen less battery drain since then. Before when I was using the Franco kernel I would see battery drop about 55% while I would sleep but now only about 20% and both percentages are with wifi on.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
Didn't notice so many people lose a bunch of % over night. Over night with 3g off and wifi off i lose around 2% maybe 3.. that's nothing IMO. Not even the one x is better than this device over night. Stupid battery saver core my ass. I recall on my one x how stupid it was, you'd switch it on overnight and see you didn't lose not even 1%. Use it for 2 minutes to see it deduct 5% at once.

Still not screen on time results It just shows in the screen on time in term of a graph which is really hard to predict tbh.

display on minimum brightness

leave phone alone for a long time

when phone reaches 1-3% then enable bluetooth, wifi etc so it looks like i have everything running in the screen shot

bam nice screen on time of 7 hours and 40 min....with awake time of 1 day and 2 hours......

i only did this to prove a point, it seems some people in this thread must be doing this just to say they have a long screen on time because using your device normally will not get 15+ hours with 5+ hours of on screen time like some people are doing.

show those same screens again but this time with ALL of the apps displayed that contributed to your battery use. my guess is huge idle time with hardly doing anything...
