Just remember it's a new version of Android. Google is going to fix all of these software issue as soon as they calm down after the orders issue. I don't care about the battery crap, my phone is always plug into my laptop :)
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Not realy that spectacular. I did have the OEM extended battery but I could get 5 hours from my wife's with the normal battery. I was using Trinity kennel which is great for battery life. i always thought lcd was better overall for battery life. Regardless, there is something wrong here. If the g is getting 30% better I'm hoping a software fix will help, much like the jump from 4.0 to 4.0.1. A jump like that should bring on screen time closer to 5 hours which is a must for the average smart phone today.

...maybe stupid question ???.....but how u guys edit u phones underline ???
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
by the way this is my battery. Because I am not into the battery issue, I don't know if this good or bad :)
[Nexus 4 General] zealtor:
This is on my first full charge cycle. I used the phone as I normally would (surfing the web, texting, a few short calls, facebook etc). Note, I am not using any battery saving software, nor have I done anything else to the phone to enhance the battery life. Also, my cell signal was 1-2 bars most of the time. Needless to say, I am very impressed.
[Nexus 4 General] düdldihüü:
So, after 12 h with ~2 h of screen-on time using NO Wi-Fi I'm at 14 % battery. With Wi-Fi on for the most time I was at ~70 % the last days. Somehow 3G drains massive amounts of battery. Until this gets fixed, I'll just stay with Wi-Fi on when possible.
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Got some pretty great battery life..

I even a accidently feel asleep without it plugged
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
These posts still say to me that there needs to be a software fix in the works for this. I wonder when 4.2.2 will be out. The N10 has great battery life... but its a totally different device. The proof seems to be in that the G gets so much better life, despite the same major components. The jump from ICS to JB on the Galaxy nexus only landed me about a 20 min on screen time drop. Perhaps some service keeps it from deep sleep or something of that nature. Stand by time seems acceptable, but on screen is really the true test IMO of your device's battery life. It's hard for me to understand out the Note 2 can get such better battery life, given it is not pentile, has a bigger screen, is AMOLED, etc. It has a bigger battery, but not that much so. I'm thinking 4.2 might be a little green as far as optimization goes. I wonder what we can do to get Google to look into this. You would think since this is their 4.2 example phone, and isn't running a battery hogging LTE radio, that they would be aware of the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] Vanhoud:
Just wait until the developers come out with some custom kernels and the real better life will shine
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
Don't worry, if Google puts their efforts into a problem, they can fix it.

Also, it's unlikely their developers are manning the telephones and answering people's questions about when their phone will get shipped.. Unless they really screwed up.. :D

my battery got charged so fast! just about 2 hours and its full. any idea?

ps: with the n4 is totally shut down.
[Nexus 4 General] archheretic:
Is it sad that coming from my s2, this battery life sounds awesome? I think the most I have ever got from a charge was 2 hours screen on time. Have tried different roms, kernels etc too...if I could get over 3 hours screen on time I would be very happy, not to mention how this thing will do with a custom kennel!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Stadsport:
Yesterday, I got over 21 hours of use, over 4 hours of screen on time, and I plugged it in with 20% remaining. I'm very happy with the battery.
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
Strange, I lost 7% over 8 hours in Airplane mode, Wakelock Detector says Beautiful Widgets and another service kept accessing

AlarmManager

(I guess Google Alarm service under Clock since I have no Alarm app installed). For whatever reason after alarm clock was set, it kept phone from deep sleep. The other day Google Calendar did something similar to drain battery while yesterday with no Calendar or Alarm set, standby drainage was very minimal, like 2% over 8 hours in Airplane mode, not much more on mobile network, see how well it did when I didn't use the phone:

Any idea why AlarmManager keeps phone from sleep or other Google services? 4.3 bug?

I love the battery life on this phone! I take my phone off the charger at 7am and return it to the charger around midnight. I usually still have 10-15% battery life left! I had a Samsung S3, and couldn't get past 3pm without having to recharge the phone.

Does anyone agree to use for example the antutu tester and do the battery test from full charge so we can compare the statistics from another perspective? My last score was 288 with cm10 4.2.2(old situation)

Just got this phone last Wednesday. So far battery life has been an abject disaster on complete stock. I'm running another battery test but I'm barely getting 2 hours and thirty minutes screen on time. It feels like that should be better.
[Nexus 4 General] Que1999:
Definitely something wrong with that screen on time and a brand new N4.

[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Stock sucks. *gets heat shield*
[Nexus 4 General] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
I had the same problem with my brand new N4. I had one from T-Mobile earlier this summer and had fantastic battery life (same apps installed), so I knew something was amiss. I think it had to do with either the way I charged it the first time or the fact that the 4.3 update was waiting for me the first time i turned it on. Anyway I SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

All I did was a Factory Reset and Voila! I'm getting a full day with moderate-heavy usage. Hope that helps!

[Nexus 4 General] sherbibv:
2 day old phone. Great battery life till now. 4.2.2 stock.,nonrooted.
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
After two weeks of geeking around on my fresh N4, it was time to settle down to my regular pattern, and I must say I'm impressed of the longevity on moderate use. SoT is only 3hrs but it got me all the content & information I require, with the heavier drain coming from GPS tracking, photo-processing, gaming and heavier browsing, and of course active screen. Really hope the N5 will bring the G2s efficiency though.

I also got rid of most of the wakelocking (just 10% awake when screen is off), still, MyDataManager and LightFlow like to draw information often, though with little effect on resources. Still, with no active notification or data connection off, they should be sleeping like a baby.
[Nexus 4 General] l33ch0r:
So battery life while navigating via Google maps just sucks. But that's not that surprising. What's surprising as it is alarming: the device got hot and it started smelling like something was burning. Is this normal?
[Nexus 4 General] BoneXDA:
That's not normal. Were you connected to power? Heavy CPU load while charging does make the device very hot. If you did have it on a charger, and I'm assuming it was a car charger, try using the original charger at home and see if messing around with maps replicates the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] l33ch0r:
Actually it was not charging. Battery dropped for around 30% while navigating roundabout 20 minutes - pretty much I'd say. And then there was this smell :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] smoka206:
I use 2g for maps, it cuts down on heat and is better for the battery.

[Nexus 4 General] leocaula:
Clock limited to 1026MHz, battery great!

I think I finally did it.

Rooted my Nexus 4 just to underclock it. Used setCPU to limit it 1026MHz. The thing is: Nexus 4 puts your CPU to max everytime you touch the screen. This is for fluid response. And I do touch it too much. I heard people limiting it to bellow 1026 and still didnt notice any performance cut.

I can say mine is still fluid, very fast, and limited to 1026MHz. My battery was during nothing, lasting only 10 to 12h.

After setting the clock to 1026 max, I finally think I got it! Its been almost 9 hours and only 50% drain! And with 4h screen on! Thats looking good.

Here are all the changes I made:

1) limited the CPU speed to 1026MHz using setCPU

2) turned off all vibrations. The vibration on key press is a drainer!

3) disabled Google Currents, on Settings, Apps (this one is also a big consumer)

4) turned off NFC

5) turned off the TILT SCROLLING, on Google Chrome. This is inside Chrome settings, developer tools. Chrome was using too much battery and now almost nothing

I am on stock rooted
[Nexus 4 General] cobyman7035:
Yup good tips, u should. Get 6hrs SOT , also try undervolting keeps phone less hot, might squeeze out 30mins more SOT

Via Google voice Δ |\|€×u$™ 7 FHD on Tapatalk²
[Nexus 4 General] bhanumagotra:
using trickster mod i found that whenever u touch the screen the CPU jumps to 1024 Mhz ... so i dont know how limiting the CPU to 1024 Mhz max will help .. although it prevents the CPU from running at 1512 Mhz which will be certainly of some help.. but again , CPU runs at 1512 Mhz very rarely ...

If u want to prevent the CPU to run at 1024 Mhz when u touch the screen at all ... use intelli-plug from faux123 kernel and disable mp decision .. no change will occur in cpu frequency on just touching the screen ...
[Nexus 4 General] luiseteyo:
Today I am going to do the following, and I expect beating my records!

- Stock firmware 4.3

- Trinity kernel

- UV -75mv (I am slow :( )

- CPU: Ondemand 384MHz - 1026MHz

- .48 Baseband

lets see... will report.
[Nexus 4 General] wietse1988:
Does trinity support stock JWR66Y? I thought it was AOSP supportive.
[Nexus 4 General] luiseteyo:
In the OP, it is given a link for Stock, which says:

Stock/AOSP + CM : http://www.derkernel.com/mako.php

Check it out here

Maybe I am wrong and is not supported, I don't know... :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] leocaula:
Yes, thats another way of doing it, but it so many other things also been done. Just see the list of things that trickster mod does. Im not saying its bad nor good. Its just that I really want to keep my phone on the stock firm and with no mods, so looks to me that setting the CPU to 1026 max is a good thing doing, and it really did me well. I got almost 7h SOT after a good day of use, with a lot of GPS also. Im happy with it.
[Nexus 4 General] leocaula:
Thanks!

In fact I got almost 7h!

Im still studying the effects of undervolting.I was a bit afraid of damaging the processor, as it will receive a "wrong" and "low" voltage from the battery. But I am reading a lot of god things about it, so starting to see it with good eyes.

But, can I undervolt without a custom ROM?
[Nexus 4 General] mendozaram:
Yes, just need a kerner that supports it and be root
[Nexus 4 General] Elwood_It:
I'm so envy of your battery life...I'm having a problem, the battery got discalibrated when i did the update 4.2 -> 4.3, now I've flashed a couple of roms, tried battery calibration from the market but i didn't solve the problem...
[Nexus 4 General] bhanumagotra:
I m really impressed that just by limiting max frequency to 1024 Mhz gave u such a good SOT but again SOT also depends on type of use ....still a very good battery performance ...

i m also on stock rom and stock kernel and used trickster mod to reduce my min frequency from 1024 to 384 Mhz .. max is still at 1512 Mhz .. and i am getting about 5.5 hrs of SOT with no GPS/location services .. only calls and wifi ...

Usually it's caused by an app which uses Android OS. Install Greenify and Greenify the rogue app. :).

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

The throttling up when you touch the screen depends on the Kernel and its Active CPU governor. In Franco Kernel, I believe you can set the frequency using the Touch Frequency (Not sure what's it called) entry in Trickstermod. :).

I am using purity + hells core looks great in battery life and performance.

4 hours 30 minutes SOT.
[Nexus 4 General] leocaula:
Hmmm, now you gave me a good reason to change the kernel! I never did on my Nexus 4, but having the ability to limit the CPU only for the touch and not for other things sounds really good! Will try it! thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] leocaula:
I am on stock rom and kernel. Only rooted the phone. using android 4.3.

I see that my use is very low on phone calls, and average on browsing.

Low on facebook, in fact I am logging off facebook app when leaving the app.

Have wifi at home and at work, so more wifi than 3G...

I really think that the 1026 CPU limit is a good thing, cause it definatly saves some battery when using the phone. But there were some other things that I pointed as battery savers, like the touch vibration turned off and other things.
[Nexus 4 General] Jean.luc:
I' m on non rooted stock, how can I do that that ? Is it possible to conserve the apps/mails/SMS/configuration files/data while doing that ? And is it a regular problem ? I have the nexus only since 1 month, and did not do much with, it would be annoying to do it regularly.

I would prefer that. How do you recognize which app is causing troubles ?

My phone is never on WiFi (Long live the unlimited data plan!) but I can get barely squeeze 20h with really lite usage.

I arrived to this SOT with the help of these:

*greenfiy (donation version)

*FK r184 with: cpu 918 max.

https://db.tt/iYpFfFop

*all off (gps, bluetooth, nfc.. etc) except wifi.

*syncing off except chrome (to sync bookmarks).

* 10% of brightness.

* DS battery saver (app) to push the phone into deepsleep while screen off.

quick question here: where do I find changing of voltage touch screen in FKU?
[Nexus 4 General] sigma392:
918 max Cpu? Does your phone not lag? O.o. I can easily get this SOT with only setting the max number of cores per app, for chrome I use 2.
