Personally I use my Nexus all day, full sync with many accounts and apps. I use it for videos, music, tethering and full overclocking profiles at worst I will get 12-16 hours, at best I have reaches almost three days (went into dark mode at about 6% and scraped a few hours out of it)

I am on the Latest PA Build with 3.4.0-Franco Kernal (Milestone2) Screenshot is just a normal days use. Will use BBS when I grab it off the market.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Interesting wallpaper... LoL... Nice and colorful... I think that's something I like about the N⁴... You can keep any colour background without worrying about battery drain...

Anyway... My current battery... As usual should almost hit 3 hrs by the time I hit 50%...

So yea good battery is very doable as long as your using a good ROM and kernel...

back to FK

Franco Kernel r139 and Asylum Rom 20130517 Conservative Governor with UV of -75 across the board. 3g most of the day; wifi since I've been home the last 1.5 hrs.

I flashed the latest nightly of FK for N4 after using Matr1x 8.5 for the the last two weeks on various versions of CM10.1. Today's activities included 50+ minutes of phone calls, a bit of music on headphones, some web browsing and watching one episode of Law and Order while riding the subway and bus. Google Now was switched off, GPS on, and most non-essential apps Greenified, including Google Maps. First day back to FK and I've seen a slight improvement in the battery life over Matr1x 8.5. I was a little reluctant to give up Matr1x as I previously had great luck using an earlier version with the stock ROM. See if things improve over the next couple of days with this combo.
[Nexus 4 General] N1XM1X:
I'm running PA3.55 in tablet ui with halo and pie deactivated. stock kernel but Franco has been fingering it for us :)

Any of the people who are getting 5-6 hrs SOT using the .33 or .27 radios and LTE? Just wondering if it makes a difference and if its worth having LTE (only within the city) if it impacts battery life much. Otherwise H+ is just fine and I'd rather have good battery life than spotty LTE.

Thanks

no LTE for me.. H+ and WiFi only.. I get ok speeds on this and would choose battery every time
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:

How does that compare to your stock experience?

Do you have any specific apps or settings that make a difference (UV, no live wallpapers)?

Thanks in advance :)

My best battery stats so far - during a lazy day (being at home - constant Wi/Fi). Mostly Reddit and Chrome with some G+/Twitter - when I checked my screen time, I was amazed.

Good battery life

I try to be as battery conserving as possible when using my nexus 4. Since I mostly use my phone at home, I keep the brightness level to the minimum since the screen has always been a top battery hog for me . I also have GPS,data,WiFi,NFC and bluetooth turned off until I really need it.:D I use my phone mainly for the regular features it has and for some entertainment such as games.I noticed that the 360 photospheres hoged a lot of battery life as did a particular "battery saving app".:p

I was using EDGE the other time. No, we don't have 3g where I live.

Remember - stock everything. Goes to prove you don't need a custom ROM or kernel to hit such SOTs.

Most screen on times you see here in the 4+ hours are with a mix of 3G and WiFi or just purely WiFi. Also depends on what you do on your phone as you could be reading a book and get amazing screen time.

Everyone uses their phones differently; hard to ask for what settings people use and expect their results. :)

Agree. I used to get close to 5h sot in all stock. But a kernel can make a difference. I am on stock ROM but notice it getting a lot less warm with lowered voltages. Maybe you'll be surprised. But you're right, the n4 already has some potential straight out if the box

Is that only ~2 hours of screen-on time? Something is hurting your battery, if I'm seeing this properly. I know that you had media wakelocks due to TuneIn for quite a long time, but regardless...it shouldn't be that low. I use TuneIn everyday, and it's very gentle on the battery. You may want to check to see if there's something draining your battery. Use an app like GSam Battery Monitor.

Im using latest Jellybeer and Franco, mostly in WiFi, there is like 40min of Tunein in 3g...

I agree, their app usage shows they aren't really using their devices much YET their SCREEN ON TIME shows 5+ hours..

if their APP usage hardly shows anything then what they heck are these people doing that has their screen on for 5 hours?

the most I got is 3+ hours of on screen time and my App usage reflected the netflix, facebook and pulse app usage that contributed to that

what are these people dong for 5+ hours? lol
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Do you really think that all those people who are getting more than 5hr sot do nothing on their phone?The battery stats are incorrect when it comes to the Apps usage time.i use FB & tapatalk a lot.After a whole day usage,i get an Avg sot of 5hrs.but when i check my stats it shows only a max of 2-3mins of FB or tapatalk usage..
[Nexus 4 General] alen1901:
Bearly? You must be blind than. You see blue line there, and how battery goes down? Yeah, its because i didnt use my phone :confused::sly:

In that time i constantly used next browser for chatting on facebook, so, a lot of refreshings and surfing the web, surfing and posting etc on xda, played simpsons, and drag racing but few minutes. All sync on, mailing (even though gmail doesnt show up on stats), keep sync, catch sync. So, dont you say that i didnt use my device. With same usage on s2 i could bearly get 3:20 hours of screen on time.

Today I did a battery test until the end:

- CM 10.1 + Franco Kernel (latest nightly for both)

- Auto brightness (not much light on the room)

- Only web navigation, Facebook, Tapatalk, Google Reader, web radio and some web videos

So, in the end I get 6 hours and 30 minutes of screen (and battery). Very satisfied with the results!

I was getting TERRRRRRRRRRRIBLE battery life... like 130-2hrs of screen time to the point I was gonna RMA it... Anyway I got it working pretty well here is what I did.... I have not rooted as I am to lazy haha so this should help for ppl like me¸

TURN LOCATION ACCESS OFF!!!

TURN MAPS OFF in Applications `running`in background`this made a HUGE difference

Killed Facebook, The Score

Switched from Chrome to Boat Browser -.this was the biggest difference... Chrome was using almost as much as screentime, BOAT now using around 6-8%

I now get arounnd 4 hours of screentime unrooted stock with brightness around 25%
[Nexus 4 General] Kyle C:
I'm glad you were able to fix your battery issues.

One thing to note; did you disable "Tilt Scrolling" in the Chrome settings? It's under "Developer tools". That is a huge cause of battery drain when using Chrome.

By the way your battery just drops when the screen is off it must be some apps, try turning off sync for anything you don't need and turn of all the location stuff in maps if unneeded.

[Nexus 4 General] hbkmog:
This is pretty normal considering you are running on full brightness. The average SOT for the phone is 3 to 3.5 hours on active usage. If you see anyone running 4 or 5 SOT, that's because they turn the brightness down, run it on WiFi whole time, do a lot of tweaks(down volt the CPU, disable some sync, hibernate some apps, etc), or simply don't use the phone that much. In other words, you don't have to feel bad.
