Lost 30% battery over night - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi. I had 80% battery when I went to bed. But now, when i woke up there's only 50% left? I have posted some pics and it seems like the Wi-Fi is eating everything! Is this normal? I'm using apex and frencos kernel. Tried with the apex kernel and same battery lost.
thanks in advance

your phone is awake a lot without the screen on. Check for rogue apps.

Syncing every 5 minutes will be pretty hard on the battery

Also those random lines of GPS usage is weird if you were sleeping. I would suggest turning the GPS radio off when you aren't using it.

Is it LTE or GSM

Wow, your awake time looks like mine during the day.

Battery life terrible on AOKP

I know it isn't a complete ROM yet, but my battery life drops about 1% every 30 seconds with the screen on, and 1% every 2 minutes with the screen off. A lot of people are saying that their battery improved, however mine is a lot worse. Does anyone have any battery saving tips for AOKP? If so, thanks.

Sorry for the nooby question...but is a modem the same thing as a radio? Lol i tend to stay away from flashing radios and stuff like that because there's alot of people complaining about bricking their devices. Thanks for the help
Not sure how people are bricking there devices just by flashing a radio...but ya ey are the same thing.

Ok yea i dont know...i thought i remembered that happening somewhere but i guess not...anyway ill try that in a bit thanks!
To me you would think you just wouldn't have any service if you just flashed a radio that is different but it's just like flashing a rom like galaxy note rom on our device. It wouldn't play nice it isn't compatible so there for its a hard brick then you got yourself a nice looking paperweight lol

Nothing special...no JD, all on 4g, sync is always on, and on stock battery. I have another stock battery the gnex extended on standby. I use an external battery charger and just rotate my batteries. That I believe has helped me.

Exactly, Those stats dont post the actual usage in any meaningful form. If it really wanted to give real info it would tell you how much cpu time those processes used.

Battery better on 4g or wifi?

So I'm using the jugernaught 5.0 from with the streamline kernal. Basically I'm using streamline because I wanted to save battery but i noticed something weird on 4g I'm only getting about 18 hours max with a galaxy nexus battery with wifi on I get around 30 hours. I thought wifi drained more battery. Also this is with about 3 hours of screen time. I've done several test. So firstly does wifi use less battery secondly what a the best kernal for gb right now?

Wifi always gets better battery. Just don't leave it on if you're not using it. I prefer darkside

4G is only used when it's needed. Wifi auto scans at intervals wasting battery if you leave it on all day. Wifi is better while in use.

Most random thing to my Nexus just now D:

Alright, so I was just minding my own business and just using my Nexus, and the it suddenly froze... Completely! My phone then got cold and did nothing, so I just pulled the battery out and rebooted. When I rebooted, my battery was at only 15%! (it was at 40% before) wtf just happened there? Nothing like that ever happened on my android device ever D:

I've seen it a lot. Should be able to plug it into the charger reboot on the charger and it should read normal again. Otherwise it will slowly increase the battery as long as you don't use it.

Battery life...

Okay I've been reading reviews on people getting 20 hours on battery with the same usage as I am, but my battery dies around 12-15 hours which I think is pretty good. Well I'll post up screenies to show you guys. Just checking if my battery life is normal before jumping ahead and buying a new battery.

It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.

I just set up my galaxy s 4 to do the same, I'll try it for a few days. I just use tasker to set it to turn off internet unless I have an app open which requires it.
You can set it to turn on internet and sync at intervals too.
I didnt really change anything. Shut off all features. Brightness like 25%. But I did underclock to 1.3ghz. Which stilll ran really smooth.

Terrible Battery Life :(

I think I got a dud because my battery life is sucking real bad. I had G2 for over a week and I have to say, the battery on G2 blows Note 3 out of the water which bums me out. I mean 7% in 35 minutes is simply unacceptable. Anyone else having similar problems? Should I take it back to the T-Mobile store and ask for a replacement? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah these screenshots without on-screen time are useless.
Even 10 minutes of on screen time for 3% is pretty good - that's on track for 5.5 hours of on-screen time.
