I have had the phone for 5 days and with fairly light usage, I am still not getting good battery life. I turn off all data and wifi when not using it and screen on time is below 2 hours.
Below is a screenshot of my battery life.

It doesn't get better...get used to it until its fixed in an update , along with the other big issues.

By about the 3rd day it seemed better. But it's also difficult to gauge because the first few days you're bound to toy with it constantly.
Until there is an empirical way to gauge usage, like an amp meter attached to the phone - it's all perception imo.

In the top left you have three things running in the background, im assuming constantly. Uninstall them, especially the battery percentage since you can look that up easily on your phone

Do yourself a favor and try aokp milestone 1 from rootzwiki , and also download lean kernel 1.1.1 on xda. Use interactiveX governor for kernel. This is the exact setup I am using now, and have been for a few days and have been getting insane battery life. Hope everything works for you.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. First of all, it will get better, I won't bother explaining the science behind it considering you can do your own research, but it will, also, it can't be "fixed." Just like they can't make it an 8 mega pixel camera in an OTA. You can get it much better by doing custom roms and thigns of that nature.

It got better when I turned off vzw backup and google +.
Best I got is 16 hours bone stock just an extended battery. Worst I got was 4 hours(screen was on the whole time) watched 2 movies before I plugged in. I average around 12 hours from 100% to 20%.

First off, it's hard to tell by your screenshot how good or bad your battery life is. You're burning approximately 10%/hr, but maybe you had your screen on or were surfing the internet for a portion of that time. Anything that involves data transfer will kill your battery faster.
I got my Galaxy Nexus on Wednesday, and I've had great battery from the start. I calibrated it by letting the phone's initial charge die down to zero, and then charged it all the way up to 100%, and then used the Battery Calibration tool. I drain between 2-3% hour with light use, but can obviously drain much more depending on what I'm using the phone for.
That being said, for those on this board who think an OS upgrade is going to fix the problem, I highly doubt it. I have a reasonably poor cell signal (averages around -95 dbm), but still get solid battery life. Given that we were all issued phones with the same software, if you're experiencing incredibly bad battery life, I'm going to point my finger at the hardware. It just doesn't make sense that some of us with 4.0.2 get great battery life, and others do not. You probably have either a bad battery or a bad phone. Now, I'll probably get called out for saying this, but watch all the posts that follow when the update releases, when people still have poor battery life.
This is my 3rd Android phone (Incredible, Charge, GN), and every one of these phones has had poor battery life. On average, if I'm playing around with the screen on, I'm draining upwards of 10%/hr, if not more. But if you properly calibrate the battery - which is VERY important - you should easily be able to get a full day's charge out of your phone.
There is a post on XDA about the 13 steps to proper battery calibration. Once I followed it on my last phone, my battery life went up at least 50%. You have to let the battery drain to 100%, then bump charge a number of times, then use the battery calibrator.

Try running without JuiceDefender. Constantly toggling data on and off (or wifi on and off) actually hurts battery in almost all cases.

Your results may vary, but when I used Juice Defender or Green Power on my Droid Charge, I nearly doubled the battery life. I haven't put it on my GN yet because my battery life is much better than what I had with the Charge.
No using JD or anything like that. Just the the phone do its thing. I don't even open the multitask button unless I want to switch between apps.

Gotta be a software issue with the battery.
Just this past weekend in Wash DC. Very strong 4 G market.
I had it fully charged off charger. After 7 hours without touching the phone even with google plus sign out, the battery went from 100% to 54%. It's like the phone was active a lot without me even touching it. No SMS/mms either. No emails either.
Know. I did same thing and put it on airplane mode with it 100% charged. After 7 hours on airplane mode it was at 98%.
So it's gotta be an operating system issue.
I tried it on wifi instead of 4G mode. And battery drainage was down to 72% after no use overnight.
13 hours and only down to 60%. My calculations that's possibly up to 30 hours over a whole charge!
No extended battery, normal college student use. The big kicker is having wifi connected when possible, but even so I was also listening to spotify for awhile and texting. Currents was up there as well.
Here's what I have:
CM9 kang (1/5/2012)
Jdkernel 1.1.2
Use no-frills CPU to set governor to smartassv2 (no locking up on wake, always loved this governor)
That's it! Hope this works for you guys.
I have screenshots in my rootzwiki post, I don't feel like going through the process of downloading them from my phone and uploading them to another website and embedding them.

Your screen on time is negligible.. not trying to be an ass but most GSM users can get battery like that the kicker is trying to get over 3.5 hours screen on time with the stock battery.. I can get over four on wifi but no more than 3.5 on cell usage.

I have the LTE version, and know that spotify while I'm walking home is no slouch on battery usage, even of the phone screen's off. I do use desksms, so a lot of texting went on without the screen turning on.

+1 .... screen on time is very low. I never understand with this battery threads since usage patterns vary from person to person. I burn my charge in 10 hrs on gsm model, but im happy since im using my phone around 80 % of time meaning screen on most of the time.

Also I noticed wifi was on for majority of the time. I always get better battery life on standby when wifi is connected but I don't have access to wifi when at work.
It could still be better. The Android OS should not be that high on the list, it is consuming CPU time and awake time.

My battery life has improved significantly in the past week. I now average 16-22 hours between charges.
I'm using the extended battery, and I've been "conditioning" it by letting the battery run to 4% before charging it completely to 100%. My phone sees mild to heavy use (mostly podcasts with the screen off), always on LTE, never wifi.

I wouldn't run it down that far often. I personally try not to let mine run down past 20%. It hurts your charging cycles. Some people recommend higher. It is true though keeping charged and not at 95%+ helps longevity of battery.

Yikes, is that true? I went to 4% because I thought it was healthy.

If you're calibrating or just end up in that situation, you're fine. I wouldn't do it all the time. Keeping the charge up keeps the longevity of the battery up.

Well, are you under the impression that one day some one is going to come out with an uber awesome mod that makes SAMOLED consume 50% less power? Because that would delusional.
So I've done my searching around. I really want a definite answer. My HTC Droid Incredible has ****ty battery life, to put it nicely. I can manage AT MOST 2 hours screen on time with no wifi (this is because I have unlimited data with Verizon). Battery life is a big priority with me when it comes to phones.
For the LTE Galaxy Nexus, what's the most screen on time you can get with 4G? And how much longer can you get if you disable 4G?
Also, if you were a Droid Incredible owner, how do they compare?
The incredible was my previous phone and I actually thought the battery life was pretty decent. I can get between 2.5 - 3.5 hours of screen on time with my Nexus. I usually keep 4G disabled as I don't need a 20 meg connection to sync my Gmail. On 4G you will probable get the same screen on time as the Inc.

I get at least 11 hours if battery a day with 3-4 hours of screen time on the stock battery. The incredible got horrible battery compared to this phone. I usually only turn on mobile data when i use it and I'm always using LTE.

I just upgraded from the incredible. It's much better than the stock incredible battery (which quite frankly was unusable)... not as good as the seido extended battery I used for most of the time I had my incredible (that battery was actually overkill.. when new I would get almost 3 days.. lol)
I have no problems making it through the day with moderate usage (which I was not able to do on the stock incredible battery)
its funny with the extended battery i get around 10 hours, maybe 11 and the original battery is giving me around 13-14 hours, 3G on both, don't know what is going on.
yesterday i got about 7 hrs screen on, I'm unemployed at the moment, and i was playing ceramic destroyer for 3/4 of the time the rest was web surfing i still had 15% left. I'm on gummy latest using lous v3 kernel. i didn't get a screenshot but i was impressed. was on 4g the whole time. i don't really use 3g so i can't comment on that aspect. my old phone was an incredible as well. i would say they're pretty close but I'm much happier with the nexus

When i read my ebooks i can get 8 hours screen time. Black color, non cpu intensive, and after 1 hour its still at %90.
Theres a thread here where someone did screen tests, and they got 10 hours screen time on black, and 5 hours on white. So this phone is definitely capable.
I had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and was very disappointed at the battery life. I was only getting about 3 hours of screen time with the 2100mah battery.
Now I'm using the T-Mobile $30 plan, so I'm looking for a GSM phone.
How many hours can the GSM Galaxy Nexus last? I heard 5-6, which sounds really good!
I've ran a search, but haven't really found what I needed.
Thanks!
Havent fooled around with wakelocks yet but getting about 2-3 hours on screen with AOKP M4 and Franco M1.
I'm on AOKP M4 and Franco r89 and am getting above 30 and a half hours battery life with the normal battery, not the extended ones. If you have much problems with the battery, try undervolting it a bit.

Its the same around 2-3 hours. I get about 3 hours on my LTE Nexus. GSM or LTE the screen is power hungry.
Its about 4 hours of screen time for the gsm version, sometimes higher. It is higher than the lte version for some reason.
I'm on stock 4.0.2 on my GSM model and I can get about 3-3.5 hours of screen on with a full charge, depending on what I'm doing of course. Total time is about 12-15 or so hours, depending.
I leave my brightness at 65% though. I could get more if I lowered that down.
I'm on stock 4.0.1, unrooted, locked. I get roughly 3.5 - 4 hrs of screen on time per charge (stock OEM battery).
Edit: I should add that I keep it at about 40% brightness.
I got 4.5hrs stock yakju 4.0.2 then moved to 4.0.3 AOKP M4 and franco M1 and get 2hrs so ibplan on going back to stock tonight.
I get around 4 1/2 hours running aokp with the stock kernel. Using auto brightness and no other adjustments.

it's unlikely that you would get 4.5 h over the course of one day (or working day).
4.5-5h is achievable only on wifi and with very low idle time.
I'd say aim for 3.5h and wish for 4h
I couldn't understand how everyone was getting these ridiculous screen on and life battery times.
Then I saw how little you spend on cellular data connectivity. I crank out almost 1:30 screen on with about 8-9 hours, screen dimmed, gps off, auto sync off, LTE on. Now I don't feel as bad trying to underclothes every mv.

After owning both the GSM and LTE models, I tend to agree with this.
when reading my google books i get significantly higher screen time, around 7 hours screen time. Black screen with low cpu usage gives excellent results.
So I bought a gnex a while ago, and the battery doesn't last very long.
Since I'm new in all of this I don't really know if it's normal and if it is what can I do to make it last longer?
My phone lasts about 10 hours with 3G and less than 2 hours of screen on..
It's the Google one which comes with 1750mAh standard battery. I thought of buying 2100 one but it seems very expensive unlike the bigger ones..
It costs around 35$ on ebay..
Also, can I use the Verizon or sprint batteries? From what I understand the official Samsung extended battery for Google nexus is 2000mAh? Why isn't it 2100 like Verizon?
So.. What should I do?
Thank you for your answer in advance!
My battery sucks as well I'm blaming the 4.2.1 update for making a bad battery even worse. Also the Verizon nexus is LTE enabled so its battery is even worse hence the bigger extended battery and even at stock the Verizon version has a bigger battery, the Verizon extended battery is not compatible with your Gsm nexus.

Plus : Lowering brightness , disable Bluetooth + GPS +WiFi if not used , Uninstalling useless apps if not needed and using the phone in 2G has always the biggest impact in improving battery lifetime

Using the phone in 2g? Poor guy

I bought a 1980mah battery for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus on eBay and just keep it with me in my wallet if my phone ever dies. Never had to go through two whole batteries in a single day.

Its good to switch to 2g when you turn off the screen so you can still receive emails and such..

3g is actually better with battery then 2g, but if there are both available with good coverage. 3G switching down and up is worse, but that's because of switching, not the 3g itself.

If I use at 100%, I can use easily 2 batteries xD
is it normal ?
50% battery drain in 1hour47mins(Screen ON completely), with BT n WIFI turned off, least brighntess, no background apps, background data off. Running on stock 4.2.1 rooted and hardly any apps installed. Used only whatsapp and was on xda via opera mini.
The battery sucks :/ Maybe its time to switch over to note2.
Waiting for ubuntu, if it can do anything to the battery life. Or, i would switch.
