Battery went from 100% to 36% in 2 hours... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I picked up my phone to read a text. I hadn't used it all morning, and yet, my battery was at 36% and the phone was very warm. So I look at the battery stats and see this:

4.0.5 can't come soon enough. Hopefully it will actually fix the dying radio issues.

You have 4g on.. that's why

WOW! what a drop!
What ROM, kernel and baseband are you using?
4G can't be the only reason for such big a drop!

Looks like the phone lost signal and never found it again... draining the battery by looking for the signal.

On 4g and no signal for two hours; it is actually amazing that there was still battery left.
Try a different radio?
Or, up the minimum frequency of the cpu to 700Mhz (in case you have an extreme variant of the 4.0.4 bug).

Hardly surprising. Something is keeping your phone awake, probable the radio trying to connect to a network for over 2 h. A phone trying to connect without success for 2 h gets pretty warm, even more so on 4G and drains your battery quickly.

Look at your signal its horrible! And 2 hours screen on time.. Your par for the course.

AOKP build 29, Franco Kernel milestone 2, and one of the hybrid radios(I believe 4.0.2 and 4.0.3).
The drop is definitely from the phone losing signal and searching for it that whole time, as evidenced by the network signal being red and the phone being awake.

Here, in my house, my signal averages -80 dbm. The screen wasn't on for more than a few minutes. The radio simply lost signal and kept the phone awake trying to find one.

I DO have the CPU minimum at 700 mhz
I'll go to build 30 with a different kernel and baseband and see if this keeps up.

You are using a 4.0.3 radio for a 4.0.4 rom; upgrade to this radio & bootloader:

My radio dropping issues were even worse on the 4.0.4 radios. But it can't hurt to try again.

Yeah. Since 4.0.5 is rumored to fix it, I'm holding out. I've had all sorts of issues with replacements, and my current phone is perfect except for the radios, which is hopefully just a software issue. Anyways, it's better now that I've wiped and everything, but it still drops. So I'm gonna try different basebands again.

Anyway, try the GladOS kernel. Honestly, Franco's Kernel was amazing a couple of months ago, nowadays.. not so much. I had a big increase in both performance and battery life with GladOS.

hi !
I also have this kind of battery drain... but I don't have 4G, my GN is GSM...
And the battery is draining with airplane mode on.. I'v made a lot of searches and still can't find the source of my problem

WTH! 30% drop in battery almost straight line??

Guys, the GNex I am using is VZW LTE device.
I know its battery issue and have been playing around to find the best balance to use both LTE/all awesome features while keeping the phone alive for sometime.
So far my set up ,before I went bed yesterday, was pretty satisfactory: Franco kernel 15.1 + Gummy 0.7 + Hybrid Radio .
Before I go sleep, it has 31%.
This morning, after 5.5 hours sleeping, I press the phone. It is DEAD, seems long time ago.
Took a screenshot of the battery usage, here it is

Any idea why this may be the case?
I tried to look at the wakelock info but because the phone was dead, I can't really see what was there using "since unplug".
May run it down today and monitor why =((
Well, the last drop was when you seemed to have a really bad signal for some reason and the first drop was when you were actively using the device, so you should look at the apps you were using and what you were doing at the time. Outside of these two drops the device had a normal signal and normal battery drop.

Thanks . I do acknowledge the active use part and not surprised. What bugs me is that it was on wifi at last 30%.... so with wifi on,no usage,a change in radio signal can cause this drainage ? I think this is not normal

Same has happened to me, and a few others. There are posts about it on Androidcentral. Basically the phone drops the network then spends the rest of its battery trying to reconnect to it. Its possibly an authentication issue. It has happened twice to me. It doesnt happen if you leave the phone in 3G mode. Even with WiFi on, it can happen, because the phone still needs to maintain network connection for phones and data. This is on the LTE Nexus,

With low/no signal, the phone boosts power to the radio and tries to search for the signal. This is normal cellular phone operation and has been for many years.
It's a pretty big drop, but as has been said you can really hammer your battery when your device is searching for signal.
I notice that your screenshot shows wifi on.
Franco 15.1 had a faulty wifi driver that was sapping people's batteries. This is fixed in 15.2. Flash your Franco to 15.2 and those problems should go away immediately. My idle drain is now 2mA.
Have you tried Juice Defender? Give it a shot. It is a big help with standby drain.

Your weak cell signal might be the culprit.

Looks like your phone took an arrow to the knee.

I was very frustrated with battery life too until I flashed Gummy's NEX ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401633) I now can go at least 18 hrs on a single charge with the bigger battery and average to heavy usage.
Bit off topic, but is the GN generally good for battery? Or do a lot of people get the issue from the first post?

Sucky battery is the only pitfall of the GN IMO.
Any chance of testing another battery? This could be a hardware (battery) issue rather than software and rogue apps.
I had a battery do this on another device... Less than two hours of non-usage and it would die. Replacing it solved my problem.

Like most other powerful Android devices, it really depends on your usage. It's real easy to burn through the battery if you use your device heavily. It's also pretty simple to get decent battery life if you use the device more reasonably.
I will say that the drainage in the OP looks quite aggressive. I wouldn't consider that normal or average by any means.

That's really bad then because he's just on EVDO (3G), not even on LTE assumedly.

Yeah my battery drains super fast when only on 3g. Nothing else running. When i try to actually use it like my last phone the thing drains like crazy. Tried both cm and stock. And diff kernels. I let my battery die and charge it fully over 5 times already. Another thing I noticed. I went to bed with 93% I wake up 8 hrs later. And its drained half way. Mind u its not even being used. I'm confused. the GSM g nex I used to have before used to last over 24 hours for me all the time no problem. If its the same phone. Why are the results so different. Its a huge difference. I find myself having to turn my phone off for a couple hours just so it can last thru my work day without dying on me.
Can it be the 3g that's making it drain so fast? What makes me believe this is when I am on 3g the top part of the back of the phone gets extremely hot. But when I'm on wifi. Its cooler than the other side of the pillow.

No. It is something else on your device, or you have it on CDMA/LTE and it is straining for a signal.

Hmm. That mustve been it. I just checked and it was in lte CDma but its funny because I changed it to cdma only before. But I guess it must be going to lte cdma by default every time I flash a new rom and I assumed it would stay in cdma by default. Thanks for reminding me about that. Completely forgot. New to Cdma been GSM for a long time. Hopefully I see a difference in battery life.

If a post drains 5%, you have issues or need to type faster, by about an hour.
Or how about some heavy Temple Run play while on LTE in a fringe area that drops it a lot? Standard battery overclocked to 1.35ghz at standard voltage. No undervolting at all.
would you mind sharing rom/kernel set up
BAMF Paradigm, kernel and rom.
The repos are on IMM76I, but current release is on IMM76D.
IMM76I is just a kernel change for GSM users anyway.
The kernel is nothing special and has no battery saving qualities over stock though.

cell standby a hardware issue???

long time android user, and my GF just upgraded to her first smartphone to the galaxy nexus, same phone i have. and the battery sucked, she had 50% left and went to work and within 2 hours it was dead, so i unlocked/rooted. and installed aokp 3 milestone along with franco krenel to the latest milestone. same rom and kernel i have, and i get atleast 14+ hours on regular use nothing turned off.
her battery status looks like it usally the cell standby to blame, could this be a hardware issue? i completly wiped data/dalvik/battery and did new install, going to try again flashing back to complete stock. but could this be a hardware issue?

Turn off 4g.
have you checked if you both have the same radio? you can try that
also maybe check hows reception on her workplace
So... she had bad signal. Phone sat there trying to get 4G / hang on to a bad signal. Will drain the battery 100% to 0% in a few hours if you let it do that.
no i haven't tried turning 4g off yet, shouldn't have to i wouldn't think. she lives in seattle and i live 30miles further north of from her, and i don't have a problem with 4g conection. but i'll try that just to see if it gives a different result.
Well I can tell you right now, AOKP gets absolutely HORRID battery life. Try BAMF.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Download juice defender and set it to balanced. You will see a HUGE difference with standby drain.
If you have a third of the time without signal, I would expect energy to drain a lot, as the radio will keep trying to find a signal and consume way more energy than if it is connected and in stand by.

Constantly turning on/off mobile data when the screen is off will more than likely drain the battery more than leaving it on. Not to mention that you'll get no background sync or notifications.

No I think you have to turn it off if its right on that fringe area. Plus lte networks and radios are very immature ans have a lot of years to get fully optimized and tweaked to match current cell coverage performance. You're using a brand new network technology that has a long way to go. Beta testing.

1.5 hour battery life

Battery life goes down 1% every minute the screen is on... This is rediculous. I'm running the latest franco kernel + liquid rom.
Uhhh cool story? Use your phone an entire day and post your battery stats when you're at < 5% battery left. Then we can talk about your actual battery life...
Let me bite this troll bait.
I'm sure this phone doesn't last 1.5hours, i'm sure mine doesn't.
@OP that's prolly why the guy sold it
good day.
You should be getting around 4 hours of screen on time, try different kernels if you don't achieve near this. I get 5+ hours everyday usign my set up, just look around at countless other thread to get an idea of what you can do.

Which kernels besides franco give good battery life?
If you're getting 1.5 hours battery life then you're NOT using your phone, period. This is a smart phone, if you can manager more than 1 hour then you probably should have kept your StarTAC.

If you are on 3g/4g and a verizon nexus on stock battery...2 hrs screen time is normal. Get used to it. Sorry. My wife's on stock 4.0.2 does exactly that. Pathetic. We bought an extended battery. Still might get in the 4 hour range. I love the nexus but damn the battery is terrible. I get 6-7 hrs screen on time on my maxx using 3g/4g. Today she got close to 4 hrs but it was a 4g/Wi-Fi mix.
Verizon nexus on 3g gets around 2 hrs screen on time if you actually are using data and keeping everything synced like a smartphone should be able to do.

THanks for the reply.. guess i have to leave it plugged in all day... lmao.
either that or get a sgs3... when it comes out
Gsm gnex (europe) on 4.0.4 gives between 4-5 h screen-ON time on stock setup and 1750mAh battery. Way to go verizon and LTE for ruining the phone's reputation. Most of the people reporting issues here on the forums are verizon or sprint users.
