Yeah, battery life on this phone isn't great. All I did was internet browsing with 3g.
[Nexus 4 General] Blocoholi:
but that's still with 4.2.2 right?
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Yeah its 4.2.2, but right now 4.3 seems to be the same. I'm at the 50% right now after only 3 hours off the charger. 1h screen on time.
[Nexus 4 General] The_Journeyman:
yeah i Think that that pic refers to 4.2.2... by the way i don t find it so bad, it's nearly double the battery life of galaxy nexus and just a couple of hours under the iphone 5 browsing on 3g... Which is the king of software optimization..
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Battery on LTE beats HSDPA+/3G for me, managed to get 4hrs with heavy usage.
[Nexus 4 General] StrizzMatik:
I was getting 5+ hrs SOT, 9 hrs total with the 4.3 leak and stock kernel, on Chrome and Youtube constantly, Sync On, WiFi on about 50% of the time. Before, I'd be lucky if I got even 3.5-4 hours SOT all day with SaberMod+STS kernel... 4.3 is significantly better with battery than any 4.2.2 ROMs, at least that's how it looks to me.

I don't know what has already been said in this thread, there are far too many pages to go through.

But I was have major battery problems, phone was dying through the day while I was at work, with little use. If it wasn't on charge overnight it would lose at least 30% battery. I found out it was the lightflow app. I froze it, and now I use the Cyanogenmod settings to control the light.

The multiple colours in succession is probably the biggest killer, as it prevented the phone from sleeping, then shows "android OS" as the battery drainer, rather than the app itself. I don't know why it affected my Nexus 4 so much worse than the Gnex or my Nexus One, but it made a massive difference. I can get home from work at night and still have around 50% battery left.
[Nexus 4 General] Panzerapple:
Not a heavy user but very impressed with my N4 battery life especially coming from a VZW Gnex.
[Nexus 4 General] nyyankees1237:
For people having battery issues. Stop being lazy and get to the root of the problem, complaining on forums will get you nowhere unless you provide sufficient information for us to help you.

With that said; your issues are probably deriving from a rouge application chewing through your battery in the background. Install wake lock detector and do some digging. Greenifying some likely suspects wouldn't hurt either. Also, if you have bad mobile signal, don't expect good battery life.

Sorry for going off topic but I just wanted to say that.

Battery life on cm 10.1.2 + Franco was awesome for me. Starting my first formal cycle on stock 4.3 + Franco r170 tomorrow and will update with feedback then! :)

[Nexus 4 General] liam.lah:
This says you have been 18 hours on battery. Does that mean you haven't been using it much? If you have had your phone running, without charge for 18 hours without it dying, chances are it has had to have been sleeping for a good portion of that time, if that is the case, then "phone idle" will feature heavily in your battery drain, as other apps and the screen will not have been used much.

I honestly haven't really used the phone that much. I've gotten over 3 hours of SOT before with good amount of bat life yet.

SO far I'm extremely happy with this and I consider it to be great batter life. Compared to my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, that thing would barely last me 2 hours of screen time. I'd almost have to charge that phone twice a day.

This phone, I charge it every other day.

Not sure if having it the screen set to automatic has anything to do with the lower performance or there is an app that I'm not aware about sucking up life.

Up until this point I thought this bat life was a champ but if I get better, I'll take it.

I am on CM 10.2 with *Matr1x* v10.5 kernel. I turned off Wifi and data and after 8 hours, it drained about 30%. CPU Spy says that my phone was in deep sleep for most the time. Battery stats isn't giving any useful info either. Not sure what is causing the drain though. Like the OP stated, I just installed the battery monitor app and will see what happens after 8 hours or so.

You're using a very unstable ROM with a Kernel that is probably not very optimized yet, and you're wondering why your battery life sucks?

[Nexus 4 General] ..::Viny::..:
Use GSM network (2G) if no data connectivity is required.

Use low brightness index, since most of the time usage is indoor. I dont keep it on automatic brightness.

My general usage is making and receiving phone calls, occasionally checking mails our updates on mobile and that is generally via wifi.

Some photo clicks and gallery browsing.

Thus i guess since my usage typically is not so high like to much games or youtube etc, so it gives a good battery life.

[Nexus 4 General] RainGater:
If you are not trying to help, please don't insult all the hard work that went into CM 10.2 and Matr1x kernel.

I don't think CM 10.2 or Matr1x is the culprit. The reason why I moved to CM 10.2 was because the battery drain was horrible in Stock 4.3 - it was fine until I got the OTA for 4.3.

After lots of research and trial and error, I figured out the problem. It was with the stock radio (84) and some how it doesn't work well with Lycamobile service. Now, I loaded LTE Hybrid 33 radio and it's holding up charge well. I will have to let it run for a day or so before I can celeberate :)

I was in no way insulting their hard work. This version of Android has been out for less than two weeks, so neither of them (Kernel or ROM) are going to be very refined yet, and battery life probably takes a hit.

Yet another sucky run... mostly on HSPA+ (which increases the drain) :mad::mad::mad:
[Nexus 4 General] bobbels:
Today was my first day with this device. I love it, especially if you consider I'm coming from the original galaxy s where HSDPA turned on all the time would suck the battery dry in 7 hours total and not even an hour OST.

Today I had 13 hrs total time and 3 hrs and a tad of OST with 3g on 90% of the time. In my experience that was a pretty good run, since I was forcing myself to use my phone as much as possible just to test the battery. Browsing, texting, Facebook, couple of app downloads, one 5 min call and maybe 5 min of YouTube.

The screenshots are from my usage right now. Coming down from 97%. I've been checking regularly and it's giving me consistently a little bit over 4%/min of OST. I'm not going to blow my night rest for testing how far I can go, but by mere deduction I guess I can have around 6 six hours OST with wifi only and brightness auto (in pretty low lit conditions).

Pretty happy with this I must say. It's way more than I need.

I just explained clearly that the battery life was not because of CM 10.2 or Matr1x kernel. It was the radio and Lycamobile service as it was always roaming even though I am in the local area. The previous radio worked fine even though it was roaming and the new stock radio (84) caused the battery drain.

Now, after I loaded the hybrid radio (33/84), my battery is holding up charge pretty well. It consumed a whopping 1% the whole night with WiFi/Data off. Impressive!

Btw, CM 10.2 with Matr1x kernel + Hybrid Radio (33/84) is excellento!!!

Ok - I am a little frustrated.

I have seen the various posts about the msm_hsic wakelock issue. But I never experienced it until after the 4.3 OTA.

Running stock. Factory reset, data wiped. No apps beyond the factory gapps. I am still losing 30% battery life from a full charge overnight. So I rooted and installed BBS. It confirms msm_hsic wakelocks reaching up to 2.5 hours overnight.

I know some of the kernel releases addressed this, but they don't appear to be applicable after the recent update. I see that some devs are working on updated kernels, but everything is still in beta/testing stage.

So - general impression - battery life is miserable and my phone is making me stabby.
