I feel like I make a thread for each phone I go through. First Blackberries, then Droid X, now Galaxy Nexus.
I am getting pretty horrible battery drain that is definitely worse than others' Nexuses. I have gone to the extended battery now for a few days, yet in the morning, when I unplug from charger (says 98% but charged?), with brightness only a quarter of the way up from lowest, I can literally watch the percentage (battery number mod in corner) drop one-by-one each minute or a few...So if I am actually using the phone, you can imagine it drops pretty fast. Yesterday, with very very moderate use the phone was still dead within 5-6 hours. It was at the mid-80s within an hour or more. Again, with moderate use.
It is stomach-dropping watching the percentage number just go down and down. Yet my friend's Gnex using the extended battery his first day did not hit 85% yesterday until 5+ hours later. The battery stats page on mine shows nothing with high numbers except Screen and Android OS, so I assume no apps are draining it. I am rooted with unlocked BL, on bigxie's deodexed ROM with softkeys mod, battery percentage mod, and power menu mod. I have 100-something apps and many widgets but no battery draining/updating ones. Others with the same ROM report fine battery.
I believe after using the ext. battery for a couple days, it should be "conditioned" if needed at all, yet I see no improvement.
I'm getting very angry watching this drop.. For example, 40 minutes off the charger with almost NO use except for turning the screen on here and there, I am at 94% battery with Screen at 46%, Android OS at 34%, Phone Idle 11%, Cell Standby 9%, and Android System 2%.
And then 1 hr 20 min in, at 88% battery with 55% Screen, 27% Android OS, 6% Phone Idle, 6% Cell Standby.
This doesn't sound normal right? Keep in mind, those numbers are with almost no phone use..very minimal settings menus visited and one update from Market.
Jesus, literally almost every time or two I turn the screen on just to check these numbers, I see the damn battery percentage drop a number. Not even using the phone how/as much as I normally would be. This is infuriating. Luckily, it doesn't seem to drain much with the screen off.
Quit checking and wait til the bug is fixed and blood pressure stabilizes?
Crazy world, ay?
Update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 with an improved kernel = success.
Use the phone for 1-2 weeks to stablize battery life - mine is better now than it was when I began using it. But the kernel/rom makes a big difference.
Thanks. Any suggestions on with combo to use now? 4.0.3 preferrably I guess.
Then why does my friend on totally stock 4.0.2, non-rooted have that great battery life from the first day using the extended battery?? I'm pretty much basing mine off of his and other's who are getting ridiculously long life. I never understood how it varies SO much. We should all have the same relative to usage.

No. Because no two phones are set up the same. Too many variables to say relatively same usage. For instance, when i go to bed i get 2-3 hours standby per percentage point. Not everybody is going to get that.

Maybe, but the fact that I have no other visible outstanding draining factors, and I get no 4G at home and therefore have it set to CDMA only...I should not be seeing 1% drops almost every time I turn the screen on for more than 30 seconds. Especially with an extended battery.
God forbid I want to use GPS or 4G.

Wow, really? At first glance in all sub-forums I saw about two, if that. I have a legitimate concern, especially when my friend is getting about 4 times better life. Thanks for your help though in the device forum where this 'doesn't belong'.
..And over the course of only a few minutes of the screen being on maybe twice and sending one email, I saw it go from low 82-83 down to 77. ****ing awesome.

You probably have a misbehaving app. Download better battery stats from the android apps and games section here at xda and let it run for a day or so and see what processes are being used the most and what your wakelocks are, etc.
Also, find a 4.0.3 rom with a kernel that can be undervolted and try that out.

Thank you, downloading now and will check it out.
I'll admit I'm using the GSM version so my experiences may not apply but for the first few days my battery life was utter crap.
Its been MUCH improved over the last few days, I dont have the wakelock issue and with the screen off the battery drain is literally only about 3% per hour, and thats with background data on.
YES, the screen DOES use a lot of battery, it isnt really avoidable and is somewhat expected with a 720p 4.6 inch super AMOLED screen.
The one thing I can recommend doing is finding a modded kernel and undervolting that CPU - It seems they've been really rather generous providing power to the thing, I've been able to take off at least 100-150mv across the board.

This - My battery on the stock battery on GSM sucked first few days, and I was really concerned I made a poor purchase. But with the screen on probably 5 or 6 hours of my work day it lives through the day and just enough to get home after that. I can charge it at work too, which I usually do. On my day off it survived 18 hours and still had ~20% battery life left on 4.0.3 AOKP/Francisco.Franco Kernel
From my experience, the battery life isn't bad. I did install the "extended" battery as soon as I bought the phone but is isn't much bigger than the stock battery. I am on stock rooted 4.02. With LTE off I use about 2% per hour in standby. With LTE on it is almost double that (3-4%/hour). I have several widgets running and gps enabled. (wifi when available) I can easily get a 16-18 hour day and have 50% remaining when I go to bed unles I sit around gaming for a couple hours.
I may try a new ROM tonight but I expect it will probably make things worse.
Im running a bone stock setup and im getting 12 -14 hours a day... normally I read posts like the one skiddingus posted and wonder why I never can achieve those readings so i feel your confusion . I do have 4g on and gps off screen is about 1/4 of the way up brightness wise
Hey all,
I recently put Blu Kuban on my phone and I'm loving the look and feel, but I'm having REALLY bad battery life. I couldn't get through the day with only a little use. I download the battery calibration app and tried that. Its also been about 4 days since I flashed the new ROM. Anymore suggestions? I bought an extended battery at 3800 mAh and I'm getting less than a day with the new ROM. Before the update I was getting at least a day and a half with MUCH more usage.
So long story short, BAD battery life. Any suggestions? If I cant get this figured out, I'm going to have to go back to stock.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I've noticed you posted two separate threads relating to RUJELUS' Blu Kuban ROM. I would suggest you ask in his thread if you haven't already due to the fact that he may offer more assistance.
However, there are many different battery solutions. The problem is, if you were previously running Stock Gingerbread, you must get used to the fact that until Kernel source drops, battery life will not be as good on ICS as it is on GB.
To address your ICS battery problems, I suggest you turn here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668853
Also, if possible, it would be nice to see your battery stats. Take screenshots and post them up here.
I would definitely post in the thread if xda would let me. I tried because I had that thought originally and because I don't have 10 posts yet it wouldn't let me post in the thread. I will post battery pictures tomorrow but its pretty much saying like 36% android OS, 20% display at one hour of use.
Thanks for the help so far guys. I checked out the first link and changed a few things. Hopefully it helps.
Still rocking Gingerbread ;p
How old is your battery?
How old is your phone?
How much do you have running in the background?
Do you keep WiFi on at all times (so that it might be searching for signals constantly)?
Use the apps listed above to try and get an idea of what could be causing the drain.
Hopefully it will improve so you can fully enjoy the ROM.

My phone was purchased in October. My battery is about 2 weeks old. I don't believe i have anything but gmail sync in the background. However, I'm not used to all apps I used staying open after I use them so I've been kinda bad about closing them. Is there something I can change so this goes back to closing most things after I press the back button. I do not keep WiFi on.
My extended battery got about 18 hours and was at 15%. I slept for 11 hours last night with nothing on. I used facebook for 15 minutes, just responding to a post and scrolling through messages and battery dropped at least 10% if not more. Granted, I was trying to download the update but doing that for 10 minutes dropped my battery over 20%. I'm very concerned.
i get good battery life im using trexcell extended battery and you realling expecting to last a whole day in one charge hell no no way unless you dont use your phone

I essentially didn't use my phone for half the day. I can't expect with a battery double the size to get 12 hours of light use?
are you on the latest build? Im on 1.0.4.1 and my battery is pretty solid, Id say give it a few days. are trying different modems?
I experienced the exact same thing on that rom. It is definitely one of my favorite roms but I would get half the life that I would on the others I tried.
Were you having issues with battery at all before you flashed the Blu Kuban?
I'm running Blazer ICS now and getting almost as good of battery life as I had on Gingerbread.
So here is my screenshot. In next post ill type how long each process was running.

So 3 hours and 46 minutes. Less than 50%.
Android OS CPU total: 20m 36s.
Stay Awake: 1 hr 8m 34s
Screen: 34 minutes 17 seconds (last 10 minutes or so has been trying to get this post up)
Facebook: CPU Total: 10m 25s
Stay Awake: 2m 34s
GPS: 3 seconds (turned off immediately after realizing it did that)
Android System: 7m 10 s. CPU foreground: 8 seconds. Stay Awake: 4m 27s
Cell Standby: Time without signal 4%
I figure thats enough but if not let me know. I just updated to the new version so I guess I'll have to give it another few days, however this was typical of the last version. Please help, I really like Blu Kuban.

1. You're addicted to Facebook lol
2. Your signal seems very low...could be your phone is running up its battery trying to get signal
3. What are your wifi settings? Use one band only and leave sleep mode "always"
4. What is the brightness on your screen? Set it lower and unselect auto adjust
5. Sync can kill your battery, either remove some things from sync (like Facebook) or remove them all and only sync manually

Wow, that is incredible!
You slept 11 hours? I have not gotten that much sleep in years!
In all seriousness, I have recently gone back to Blu Kuban and the battery life will get better after at least two full charge cycles. I am currently at 9 hours and 75% remaining. I am in a low signal area and keep data off and use wifif when available. I do use Juice Defender to automatically turn wifi off when the screen is off, so when I am not using my phone, I can still receive calls and SMS.
My battery life on Blu Kuban is really good... been getting like 25-30 hours for the past couple of days. One thing that you can do to maximize battery life is turn off haptic feedback and also turn off pulse notifications. Pulse keeps your phone from entering Deep Sleep and haptic feedback also uses a lot of unnecessary battery.
I found out what my problem was. My extended battery has gone to ****. I took my extended battery out yesterday and put in my standard battery and it is running better than the extended battery. What is crazy is that I replaced my stock battery because it was running poorly and not getting good life. Therefore my 3600mAh battery is running worse than a BAD 1800mAh battery.
Tips though to improve battery life that I found:
Download CPU Spy
Download GSam Battery Monitor (Previously known as Badass Battery Monitor)
- Use this to see what is using your battery up.
Turn off any data syncing you don't need
Turn down screen brightness to an acceptable level
Make sure you close the facebook app because its a crazy battery drain
Give your battery a few days on a new rom to even out
This is what I can think of right now.
Good Luck all!
Anybody body have extended battery?
Go nitro HD yesterday and battery life is just horrible.

I think i wont even last 1 hour with heavy usage of gaming and web surfing.
Still cant believe its draining battery life so quick.
300mb memory free and less than 10% cpu usage whole time.
official ATT ICS rooted. Nothing is running on background.
Anybody have extended battery? any review?
Looks like phone uses more power when hooked up to 500ma charger. My battery is draining with charging indcator. What's good battery app to checj my battery?
Sounds like something is wrong honestly. Did you do a factory reset after updating to ICS? Or did it come with ICS?
Something is definitely wrong if you're losing 30% charge sitting idle for two hours. When I had official ICS my phone wouldn't ever go to sleep and my my battery usage was terrible. No problems with Gingerbread, CM9, or CM10.
I have the extened battery the hyperion one and its lasts me like 48 hours i cant say enough of good stuff about it .

Hyperion battery, CM10, and Juice Defender make the phone worth having. I still carry a charger with me most everywhere I go, but at least I'm not frantically searching for a wall socket every 2 hours. The only down-side is that there are no cases for an extended battery; and as I found out, Zagg screen protectors most assuredly do not protect against drops.

Installed cm10 and played with it for while.
Battery is still messed up. I've been installing apps and surfing while plugged in and it charged only 3% in one hour.(1.2a ac adapter)
Does hyperion battery make phone too bulky?
On CM10, my phone drains about 1% an hour when just idling. I have Gmail push email and Google Talk running in the background as well.

If you're going to surf and all that, the battery will drain if you don't have the brightness down and possibly some way to throttle the CPU down. You are effectively using more energy than is being replenished.
It makes it about the same size as the phone with a stock battery inside the ballistic case without the silicon outside. But it's worth the money. Even on rooted GingerBread and the ICS leak I could still get right at a full day of moderate use from it.

I would agree something is causing a wake lock problem on your phone. Get better battery stats I think is free for being a forum member. It helped me find the offending app. In my case it was Whatsapp and more recently the update for power control widget. With AT&T official ICS I get 15 hours of light to medium use on the stock battery until I am at 50% and with the q-cell high caps city 15 hours of heavy use before it is at 50%. Under cm it was on about an hour longer before I hit 50%.

Also, if it's not getting a signal while in your locker, you will lose a lot of battery. I put my phone into airplane mode when I put it in my locker at work since it doesn't get signal in there. The other day I had it in my locker and forgot to put it in airplane mode, and I lost like 15% in 2 hours. I can put it in airplane mode and have it only drop 4% after like 6 hours.

Also, if you're like me and aren't in a 4G or LTE area, disable LTE and see a significant increase in battery life.
Hyperion gives me well over double usage. Well worth the money. Phone feels solid and not too thick. Try easy battery saver helps me a lot.

I bought the Q-Cell battery after getting sick of charging the phone twice a day (with stock GB). After updating to the official ICS my battery life dropped to MAYBE 18 hours with the extended. After a week of this I finally read about having to do a factory reset. IMMEDIATELY after doing the reset, I began to have serious battery issues with the Q-Cell. Phone would not charge up past 57% no matter how long it would charge. If the charger was unplugged, the phone immediately shut off. If the phone was off and you plugged it in, it turned on. Took me almost two weeks before I was back home where the original stock battery is/was. Popped it back in and the phone seems to be back to normal.
I find it bizarrely coincidental that at the exact moment I did the factory reset the battery begins malfunctioning. So, I don't know if something in the ICS code keeps it from playing nice with extended batteries in general, or the Q-Cell specifically, or the Android gods decided to smite me down for no reason whatsoever.
Now to see if the reset fixed the battery drain issues or if my stock LG battery drains completely in around 3 hours. :silly:
But back to the original question, the Q-Cell gave me two full days with moderately heavy usage. But beware doing a factory reset with it installed, JUST IN CASE.
check your baseband
check your baseband
To extend battery life, I turn off all the wireless components except phone, for daily use.
And this works effectively.
Improve your battery.

I have a Hyperion and a qcell 3800. It really depends on the ROM for me... I'm running CM10 nightlies and sometimes I get the same "screen" consumption and my battery is dead in 2-5 hours. When I was on the stock ICS rom it seemed to last a lot longer. Perhaps it is just something that needs to be worked out with these roms?
Could you try running something like go power management to see if it lasts longer?
Just bought a 2000mah Batt OEM
can you post the link for stock ICS rom for galaxy nexus vzw plz
well i got a replacement battery and a nexus replacement, and no improvement. On 3g still only recieving about 4hrs of battery life. I tried stock ics, bamf jb, and liquid smooth ics with franco and trinity kernel, no luck. I am debating of selling the phone, or exchanging the siedio for a hyperion. I really want atleast 5-6 hrs of screen time on it. What is weird is, I was using IM+ and even without it, battery drains the same, but it mostly drains quicker when browsing. I should be able to get 5-6hrs of browsing on 3g i would think. I am wondering if Google is checking for updates, for some reason, it has all my picasa pictures, can i disable all that, so only have gmail? maybe it is download stuff, idk but would stop eventually i would think. Really love the phone, but i got better battery on my 1750mah battery on my droid x, or even on a iphone. BTW, i always keep gps, bt, wifi, and 4g off. and 40% brightness.

Here my current battery screen shot. Mind you I'm not on there doing a lot but coming from an S2 this is just insane. The S2 had serious issues with deep sleep or lack of and battery life was atrocious.
Hope this helps - just wanted to show that the battery *could* be defective.

What kind of battery life are you guys getting?
On good days, this is what I am able to get.

I dont get it.. I got the phone 3 days ago, but if Im lucky, the phone lasts for maybe 6-7 hours?
It gets extremely hot when used in couple of minutes, and its like the battery is drained by something hidden.
On a night it loses about 6-7% in 6-8 hours of standby with data etc turned off
I have turned push, sync, NFC, smart screen and all that "smart" stuff off.. so I have no idea bout what drains the battery. Even the screen is on 50% and auto -_-
I have the korean version (I think?) the european version - bought in Denmaek, stock. Not rooted or anything - but is it possible to root the EU/KR edition or is it only for the Canada/Sprint edition?
Same for me. Hes obviously not using hes phone much and not on LTE.
The battery life of G on LTE is really terrible.
By the way mo on arent hot last days, probably they fixed it.
Web via LTE eats like 15%-20% per hour, reading a book on small bright is 3%-4% per hour

Is there any way to tunr of LTE/4G then? I'd rather have good battery and like 20mbit than a few hours battery and 45-50mbit download speed .. :laugh:
Battery life is consistently around 11.5-13 hrs with moderate to heavy usage.
My battery is crap too sometimes is ok ..
but it is just screen what drains .. and + if u browsing internet and u have flash enabled it is big drainer added .. needs more cpu power..
if u put mobile on eco mode turn down screen to 25%-30% turn all radios off u should be fine
download apps like battery calibration . or battery stats or juice defender

I'm really not an expert at this. I have also just opened my Optimus G, so I can't share my personal experience with this phone. However, the battery of my Lumia 920 needed around a week to function properly. The first three days I got heating and drain, almost 10% per hour, but now the phone lasts easily for two days with light usage. I was looking everywhere on different forums for hidden factors draining the battery, until I found a comment, where someone described this phenomenon: he said that a battery needs around 12 full cycles of drain and full recharge before optimal performance can be obtained. So from now on I will be more patient.
Then again, I'm new here, so other opinions are welcome.
eeemm that is not true i had phones over years and batt been always same..
it is all about usage ..
jut do test charge it fully and dont do nothing with it just ocasional phone calls and sms's and ull see then..

For me on jb v03 I get around 18-19 hours with around 3 hours screen time, but agree its all about usage.
I mean if you leave your phone off most of the day with your wifi and data turned off it will drain very slowly..
I find the biggest drain is always screen, cellular connection especially when you have poor signal, and wakelocks.

I had same xperience with my iPhone 5 so I hope its the same with my LG.
But for know I've installed JuiceDefender and disabled LTE (HSDAP+ i fast enough for my needs on the phone anyway)
exactly this is my problem ..
we traveling to the places while am in work and there are areas where is poor signal or no signal that means phone automaticaly boost its signal which is very big drain and if your mobile has no signal at all and u obviously set to automatic search it searching searching and draining hell lot!

this is true as well 4g signal is even stronger signal as previous 2g 3g drains so much plus when u surfing on the net!
when 4g will be standard the manufs will have to make new generation of batteries to stay last longer o LTE..

Phone idle is draining battery for me. Any suggestions?

I've already installed most of "LG" apps that were preinstalled on the phone.
Phone idle 28%
Screen 17%
Cell standby 17%

Phone idle refers to the amount of battery cell radios are using up when the phone is sleeping. I would recommend moving to an area with better reception and disabling data when unneeded.
Data is disabled (and wifi).
battery life is fantastic, i get roughly 5 hours on screen time, when i finish work i have 70 - 80% battery with 1.5 hours screen time
My battery life on CM.
Disappointed kinda, expected great improvement compared to stock rom
After few weeks of heavy usage, I am noticing the battery performance to improve considerably, I'm running stock 4.1.2. V10D
