Purity ROM 15/10

Mirage kernel oc 100414

gapps pico

Apps running in background: greenify, messenger, whatsapp+, SwiftKey beta, zoner antivirus, gmail, qksms, business calendar pro, cerberus, power toggles, Xposed + gravity box + MinMinGuard, pushbullet, Nova launcher prime, quickpic and I can't wake up!

100%-1% in 2days 9hours

Screen 4 hours 30 mins

Screen light mostly set to minimum

Vibration off when I type

Wifi >90% on

Mobile network >60% on

No calls, average internet use

Running smooth with Purity and Mirage, best battery life I've had so far. With heavy internet use and different screen light it'd probably last less than half, maybe 16-18 hours, still need to test.
[Nexus 4 General] KreAch3R:
I never had so much SOT time before, so I thought I should post it.

Specs:

ROM: CM11 w/ JustArchi

Default performance settings, ondemand governor

Greenify for some annoying apps, but Sync always on.

Wifi on all the time, 2-3 calls

Browsing, YouTube
[Nexus 4 General] Ciao600:
You stayed at phone for 6 hours without any break in wifi...

I think all of us can get this SOT time with any rom or kernel if we do like you.
[Nexus 4 General] KreAch3R:
Ah, I didn't know. I thought It was good because of the ROM. I have never actually measured my battery times, I just had to wait today for 6 hours and I didn't pick my eyes from my phone. So I went and checked the battery for this reason only. Sorry :)

How? i can get barely 1. 30 hours on stock, non rooted. Are you stock/rooted/Gandalf?
[Nexus 4 General] dcop7:
SOT for itself is not an accurate indicator of the battery. It depends of the usage. Mobile data uses more battery than wifi, for an example. If you use GPS with high accuracy, it drains more battery. The same for screen brightness, bluetooth, sync, etc... The applications installed (facebook for an example drains battery)

[Nexus 4 General] akash3656:
My Galaxy Nexus does the same exact thing too. Let's say I unplug it at 50% Minutes later I get a text, and I see battery is now at 55% Then when the next text comes in, I see battery may increase by 1 or 2 % more.

[Nexus 4 General] sexualrug:
The Nexus 7 has a much larger screen so I don't think you can compare it like that.

I feel like there is definitely some issue. Its not bad enough that I have to disable all of my apps/services, but I often find that the device has been at the lowest state (384 MHz) for hours without reason. E.g. I had my phone on for 8 hours, 1.5 hours screen time. The device had spent about 1.6 hours combined at states above 1 GHz, then 3 hours at 384 MHz. This seems wonky.

In any case, from my experience both Android tablets and phones use more battery than they should given their specs. I think its a matter of Google sitting down and prioritizing it like they did with project butter.
[Nexus 4 General] lonz358:

Oh I get it you all use your phones for just reading and that's why it last so long so an hour and a half on screen time with about 20 minutes of asphalt and like 15 minutes of flows and phone calls and web browsing and tapa talk etc is good? Or am I still doing something wrong
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Are you talking with me?
[Nexus 4 General] manlisten:
I think Chrome might be keeping the phone in a wakelock state as well. I left my phone idle for about 3 hours and lost 1% battery. Then I loaded up a page in Chrome. Now the Android OS "Keep awake" stands at 31m 21s... roughly the time since I loaded the page in Chrome. Force stopped the Chrome process and now the keep awake time is counting down (?).

Also lost 3% battery over that time span vs 1% over a 3 hour span.
[Nexus 4 General] tommmtom:
This is proper use, loads of chrome browsing, camera, email, Facebook, texting, whatsapp etc. Autobrightness, WiFi on & had crap signal quite a lot....oh and sync is on :) I love this phone!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] jtroye32:
I don't have a problem except for sometimes "Media server" uses battery for some reason.. It ate 11% out of nowhere. I have Google now off, NFC off, location access off. Screen brightness I had all the way down until 50% battery when I bumped it up a bit for a brighter environment. I have gmail and my work email syncing automatically. I was on WiFi all the whole time.
[Nexus 4 General] Stadsport:
This is all web browsing, The Verge app, BaconReader, Scruff (which also uses GPS), texting, camera, and a little SNES9x. Also has an hour of call time. Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Chrome, HaxSync, etc syncing is all turned on, too. Brightness is on auto and wifi is on almost the whole time, and Google Now is off.
[Nexus 4 General] Younggun123:
If I could get 6 hours of screen time with 16 hours total time on ... I would be a happy camper. Currently sitting around 4 hours screen time. Not horrible, but I expected better.

[Nexus 4 General] stane37:
>using it wrong

You must be trolling, but i'll reply nevertheless.

How can you use it wrong? Battery drainage is surely a sign of correct usage. Why don't you show us your magic, oh great wizard, and teach us how to prolong our battery life?
[Nexus 4 General] IronLionZion:
Screen brightness has a huge effect. If you have a habit of clearing all your apps that will negatively impact your battery life, because it has to reload every time you open the app.

I get amazing battery life, better than my wife's galaxy s4. I get a good 10-12 hours with the screen on.
[Nexus 4 General] Ciao600:
Do you just keep screen on without touching the display for 10/12 hours?
[Nexus 4 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
10-12 hours of complete battery time yes, 10-12 hours of screen time no way.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

I can pull off three days too. By using it like it's a dumbphone. Calls and messages.
[Nexus 4 General] IronLionZion:
I keep my screen pretty dim with adaptive brightness on. I use my phone all the time and my battery lasts over 24 hours, I'm on the phone for at least 9 of those hours, sometimes more. I also have a 2 year old and she watches full length movies on it within that time.
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
I use it for phone, messaging, email, bit of news, calendar, emergency browsing if I need some info on the go. Two days plus is easy. Totally stock, no battery management apps or voodoo.

I'm 43, I just don't use my phone as a Gameboy replacement or video player. For me a smartphone is a tool and not a multimedia toy for those with a short attention span. Oh and no Facebook or social crap. No use for that.
[Nexus 4 General] stane37:
So basically, you use it as a dumbphone. I also do all those things, plus viewing all sorts of files (pdf, psd, doc etc), accessing dropbox, drive, camscanner, chemical calculators. So i am also using the phone as a tool, just more efficiently, and as someone said before - maybe it'll last three days if you keep it in a drawer - I would classify that usage scenario as keeping most of the phones functions in a drawer. You see, there is more to today's phones than calls, messages, internet and games (as a major battery drainer in your opinion). Now we at least know who is using it "incorrectly" :)
[Nexus 4 General] IronLionZion:
It's not like there are many phones that came out over 2 years ago that have good battery life. Newer phones have amazing battery life, but our device is functioning perfectly fine for what it has to work with. If you want really bad battery life try a galaxy s4 lol
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
Ahh right okay so to use a phone correctly and to be able to properly moan about low battery life, I have to have my Nexus 4 stuck in front of my face for 12 hours a day.

Gotcha. Now I know where I'm going wrong and why you guys are bleating about this so much. "If I use my phone all day constantly, the battery runs out!" Well who would have thought?!

Some folks have far to higher expectations of technology.
[Nexus 4 General] onetik:

[Nexus 4 General] dcop7:
What kernel (specify the CPU governor and IO scheduler) you think it is better for battery?
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
ondemand (or ondemand variants, such as Semaphore's ondemand, Hells Doctor's stockdemand, Nash's elementalx, etc) is usually recommended; io-sched doesn't really matter in terms of battery life, but if it did, then noop would be it.

After screwing around with my n4 for far too long, I ended up on Mirage kernel, which gives me the best results in terms of performance and battery life. YMMV.
[Nexus 4 General] RASTAVIPER:
Smartmax governor + Hell core kernel =best battery combo for me
[Nexus 4 General] gorilla p:
With lollipop and Dirty Unicorns ART optimizations, Hells Doctor conservative governor works great for me. Little to no lag with 702mhz touch boost.

Kernel and synapse profiles on bit.ly/makostuff if anyone wants to check it out.

On another note, I have had something strange going on with my battery. Twice now, I have rebooted my phone, only to have significantly less battery life upon reboot. Once dropped from approx 45% to 14%.

I attached the screenshots.

[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
I decided to try out franco sabermod (based on the latest update of franco kernel) today. From the defaults, I changed: 192 MHz min freq, -50 mV undervolt, and enabled dtw2w. I'm using it with 2-21-15 update of Terminus ROM and Xposed.

Today I was at a conference with ~500 other mobile devices on a giant WLAN, so it was a pretty good test too.

Overall it's good, but I think I'm sticking with Mirage, as the dt2w seems more reliable, and it's a bit more responsive using ondemand vs conservative in franco.

[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Here's a comparison to my previous post. I'm back on Mirage kernel and ran the device for about the same time today, about 12 h off-charger. You can see I got about 30 m more SOT with Mirage vs franco sabermod. -50 mV undervolt and dt2w enabled in both, I even enabled ambient display in Terminus ROM to doze in pocket mode today, so it's even more tilted towards Mirage's efficiency.
[Nexus 4 General] jer_ying_fd:
For some reason, the non-sabermod one works better for me :\
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Perhaps, but I can't use my mako without the double tap to wake feature. :)

You have an interesting point though, it could be that GCC 4.7 or 4.8 is better than 4.9 or 4.10 for the Linux kernel. This is pure speculation of course. I believe franco uses 4.7, Mirage is 4.8 and franco sabermod is 4.9. Does anyone know if this kind of testing has been done anywhere on XDA?

hi to all

im an happy 2 year old user of my nexus 4 so i have a baby already leaving diapers right now lol.

My battery has held up pretty well to this point, but is starting to take a **** big time. Especially when the brightness isn't all the way down below 15%. Ordered a replacement battery from fixez. I take it nobody has larger-capacity batteries that fit in the same footprint as the OEM?

I was hoping to hold out for the S6 or M9, but I'm hoping more for the N5 2015 at this point.

May I ask you guys something? Why do you keep pasting the up-time of the Screen process. For example now. I charged till 4 am, I think and I have only 67 % left. It's 10:53 am now. Feedly was off, WiFi was on and I have no idea why I have so little left.

[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on these screenshots. I don't see any single major wake lock but my battery life seems down from normal. I also never had the miscellaneous reading since the early android L ROMs.

I changed the battery and ROM around the same time unfortunately so I can't say if the problem is with either of those. The battery was a genuine looking OEM lg battery only 3 months old based on the date on it. The original was 2 years old and I replaced it cause I was in there changing the power button. Unfortunately no gain in battery life and I believe a drop in battery life after a bit.

Trying to figure out the cause.
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
A little more info, the drop from 100% down to less than 90 happens really quick even when I'm barely using the phone and data and WiFi etc are all turned off.
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Did you remember to calibrate the new battery by charging to full, draining to empty, and charging to full again? It could be the fuel gauge and not the battery.

The misc battery stats can be switched off in dev options.
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
Yes I did, although it's questionable whether that actual calibrates anything or not based on everything I've read. I don't think there is battery calibration since the old htc desire/nexus one.

Anyways I've been using it for close to a month with the new battery so it's had plenty of time to break in or calibrate if anyone actually believes in such a thing.
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Of course it is a thing, that's pretty ignorant. Do you think the kernel just makes up a capacity? It's reported by a computer in the battery, usually referred to as the fuel gauge, and it has no idea how much capacity there is until you calibrate it by depleting it and charging to full.

Miscellaneous battery drain

Hi All ,

Ive been having miscellaneous wakelock, should i be worried about it ?

Can someone explain what this wakelock all about . Searched for it on XDA , but the information seems to be limited. I have also seen posts on the Nexus 5 thread claiming it to be a WiFi bug introduced on lollipop.

Have attached the screenshots below.
