I think he means undervolted TO 750. I really don't think the processor would even twitch if you only ran 50 mv though it. lol

I have mine undervolted by a 175 but it really does almost nothing for battery life, maybe a few extra minutes of screen on time. I do it to keep the heat down when I am playing games. The difference in heat generation between stock voltage and undervolting by a 175 mv is very noticeable.
[Nexus 4 General] mil0X:
I assume that you have a faster binned CPU then?
[Nexus 4 General] Kindatired:
I do. Never been a fan of undervolting on other phones, but the nexus does get quite hot on stock voltages.
[Nexus 4 General] Ramun Flame:
I can say that using the carbon rom, and the franco kernal, I definitely notice an improvement in battery life. Havn't ran into a situation yet where I have been without my phone, since it ran out.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
So far battery doing excellent... But guess it boils down to how bad the idle drain will be... Should he about to hit 6-7hours with continuous use... With idle in between, hopefully greenify should help...

What is a fast binned chip
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
The chips for the N4 have different tags which can determine how much you can under volt your phone... Faster can be undervolted the most while staying stable...

Something like this...

Normal<fast<faster

[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
If you have apps like viber, Facebook, Vonage, etc , you need to freeze them or uninstall... They kill the battery... Also if you use touch control that uses quite a bit of power as well despite the devs claims...

Use Greenify for hibernating apps... It helped me a lot...

[Nexus 4 General] vikramkhalsa:
I do have the facebook app and use it quite often. But it doesnt show on my bbs or regular android battery stats either. I think I installed vonage but dont really use it, however battery was the same before I installed it too. I did used to use touch control a lot, trying without it now to see how muhc of a difference it makes. I don't think its worth uninstalling apps I use often to get more screen time, cause then I cant use those apps.. my standby time is fine, its just when screen is on.

If this isn't good I don't what it is. Always on Internet, if no Wi Fi I'm on 3g, a lot of Facebook, xda, Simpsons game, Firefox and playing with screen colors on franco's app. So I can calculate 6 SOT on 24 hrs if I maintain my use, but some night sleep should only drain 1% or 2%

[Nexus 4 General] twowheeler:
My battery life used to be great, but all of sudden Google services is causing ridiculous drain. Already did the fresh install thing. My sot used to be around 5 hours. These are the stats from better battery stats after a day of doing nothing. There apps like maps showing activity but that will never get close to the time the phone is awake. Looks like it's kernel related.

Will a custom kernel solve this?

Try freezing Google maps (force stop in apps). This will slow a lot of the idle drain.

[Nexus 4 General] alteroppa:
I really am disappointed with my battery life... Especially when I take a look at your stats.

I'm on latest carbon and the Franco milestone m2, undervolted -100mV, auto brightness.

SOT of 4h + are far from what I get.. Got 2h 30min at highest in 10h overall up time, which is way too few, I think.

Today I used my phone only on 2G/3G, no wifi, about 36min phone calls, listening to music for about 20 minutes and only web browsing other than that (see screenshots). What do you guys think?

I did a clean setup including a complete factory image flash and full wipe, then clean install of all apps yesterday, cause I wanted to make sure it's not due to a corrupted Rom install or something. Had no better stats the last few weeks...
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Your main problem is your Terrible reception... Look at that... Its really really bad... That's probably causing most the drain... Also if you did a full fresh install just yesterday, you need to give the phone about 3 full charge discharge cycles before it sets in... Its too soon for you to jump and say its bad battery...

With that reception and the music and calls, I wouldn't think its possible to go past maxxxxxxx 3 hours...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 General] alteroppa:
Well, I get your point, but since the display uses 37% of battery in 2h 10min and assuming the display would use 100% of battery and the OS and rest of the phone wouldn't consume any (!) power... I'd get about 6h of screen time. Then assuming that the "usual", average amount of battery consumed by the display is at about 50% of overall energy, I'd be at 3h (which still isn't good at all)... Hope you could follow my thoughts ;)

So, I do think my bad reception matters, but not at all that much...

Thanks for your opinion!
[Nexus 4 General] davidsteele1975:
There are lots of ways to look at battery life. Most days, I arrive home with about a third of battery remaining and under two hours of screen on time. I'm not too bothered by this because I still make it through the day. When I'm not working and I'm connected to home WiFi, I can easily see four hours of screen on time, plus download over a gigabyte of data (over WiFi), so on and so forth.

However, signal makes a big difference to the handset. Try a day with it in airplane mode and you'll see what I mean, especially if your signal is indifferent or poor.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I think your understanding as to what those % depict is a little off... That is a very rough estimate of what is using what and doesn't display everything that is using battery... To say screen at 50% means it uses 1050ma of your 2100ma battery is completely wrong...

Having said that, one of the most imp factors for battery are reception... You can check any battery thread...

Having said that... You should download Better Battery Stats and monitor your battery via that... Also install greenify and use that to hibernate some wake lock causing apps... If need be...

But again... Your main prob is your reception...

battery life for me completely varies for screen time..

if im outside for 70% of the life of my phone, i get max 3hrs with 100% brightness, constant texts, calls, games, fb.

if im indoors i get max 5hrs with 30% brightness, basically same usage.

but ive been blown away by the battery i get over night. i maxed out at 7hr4m once. had brightness below stock, constant web, text & light gaming every now & then. some youtube videos / apps.

my cpu freq max is 1.01, min is ,192. max cores 2, uv -250 fast chip.

battery/cpu temp is mellow when in use. ranging from 27-32c for basics, 32-38 for gaming / 30-34c for basics, 34-40 for gaming. when brightness is all the way up, add 5% to numbers

im taking this phone to the absolute maximum limit. i suggest others dont do this.. its prob gonna die out within a year lol

I used to have really bad battery-life on my Nexus 4. Here is a link to how bad it used to be. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40229845&postcount=3447

After struggling with different setups, trying out different kernels and ROM's I finally decided to try flashing a different radio, before I planned to return to back to completly stock (which I posted earlier that I was planning). That really changed everything for me. So after flashing the new radio (.27) and trying it out for a whole day, I noticed how much better my battery had become. I didn't need to return to stock. I had finally found the sweet spot for my Nexus 4.

So, here is how awesome my battery life was the last two days. I didn't even bother charging the phone over night, so I could see just how much SOT I could get out of it.

This is on faux 014m and RasBeanJelly.

I basically went from having 2-3 hrs of SOT in 15 hrs on mostly 3G, to 6,5 hrs in 37 hrs on mostly WiFi. I am finally enjoying my Nexus 4 now :D

I have been using .27 since yesterday, too early to tell how good the battery life is, but I have noticed this radio performs worse than .33. I have had long no signal periods when going through some known low signal zones, and it seems to take a lot longer to get data back when roaming through some cells. I'll keep testing.

I'm at 64% now, which is pretty normal for my usage. I did use some navigation this morning, something I don't use often:

This is my normal battery life. It does say there is No data connection for an hour and 20 minutes. Could be the radio, but I can usually barely get 2 hours of screen on time ever since I've started looking at it and I always have my brightness as low as possible.

I just checked again and my Deep Sleep time is only 27 minutes higher after an hour. I know my phone doesn't sleep much, but I have everything on: bluetooth, 3 gmail accounts, 1 active sync, twitter push notifications, Google Now and MightyText.
