[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullpampers:
Hi,

I'll try to keep this short. I am reading about battery drain from this forum, and I am not finding what I am looking for. So while I continue to look. I figured I'd ask here in case someone can help.

I bought a N4 6-8 months ago with a defective Digitizer. I bought a replacement lcd/dig/front frame assembly and changed it. The phone worked great since a week ago.

A while back I noticed the gps was not working. I found a thread on here about the new front frame not having the proper grounds for the main board. I switched the conductive pads from my old frame (the ones that did not rip) and it worked for a day. After that, it didn't. So I bought copper tape and put some where the pads where. No change. I left it like that.

Not sure if this is relevant, but what the hell.

a week and a half later, I clicked the stock phone app (which was deactivated) and the phone blacked out. When i plugged it into a computer, I got "transfer-mode, do not unplug) and the phone did not boot. I brought it home, plugged it into the wall charger, and it charged up. So i thought, cool! This is running stock android 5.0.1 or 5.1 i don't remember.

Woke up the next day, phone is dead, when i plug it in, i get solid red light.

Next day i read up, decide to jump start the battery using a charger with bare wires on the leads for 5-6 min and plus it back in. The phone lights up and starts charging. So i figure, battery is dead. I order one off ebay.

change battery with new one, phone charges up, I'm happy.

Next day, wake up, phone is dead. Plug it in, i get solid red light again. Jump-start the new battery and think maybe it is a sofware issue.

day after flash the phone with CM 10.2 (or what the latest stable build is) and hope for the best. It changes nothing.

next day i open up the phone and remove all the copper tape I installed thinking, maybe I shorted something. No change

day after I completely erase the phone and do a clean install of Android stock 5.1, no change

I then install betterbatterystats and start monitoring. I am not rooted so I don't have access to everything. but from what I can tell, no wakelocks and the phone is pretty much in deep sleep (91%) all night long, yet if I go to bed around 10 with 100% bat, at 5 in the morning i have less than 20%. Everything looks like it is okay to me. Is rooting to see all the stats a good idea?

since the clean install of android. I dont see all the app in the battery stats page, and everything is at 1-3%, which i find odd.

When i was on CM I had "Android idle at 6x%" and "cellphone idle" at 3x%. Not sure those where the exact titles, but something along the lines.

When the phone is fully charged, it says i have 8 hours left (which i find very low), but it seems more like 6-7 hours. and if it drops too low, i get solid red light...

I also noticed that when plugged into a computer, the phone takes forever to charge (like 6-7 hours until full from what android tell me) and if i use the phone when plugged into a computer, it actually discharges faster then it charges...

Can it be my microphone/charger/ect. module that is no good?

The phone literally went from fully functionnal, to totally ****ed in one seconds in my hands...

Any thoughts?
