my GN is losing power quickly!!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hi guys
do you have some thing for this

I had the same problem, in phone service they changed battery and flashed STOCK ROM again..
Is your Nexus GSM phone?
Have you flashed other ROM to your Nexus, If you flashed ten tell what is the ROM that you are using currently and what ROM you used...
I have Galaxy Nexus GSM with YAKJUXW ROM ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 4.0.2 <---- WITH THAT MY BATTERY HAVE PRETTY GOOD BATTERY LIFE BUT WHEN I FLASHED "IMM761 YAKJU" ROM then I had bad battery draining, battery drains too fast.. So then I flashed my Nexus's original ROM back (restore)!
And now battery works fine!
And What is the baseband and bootloader that is in your Nexus?
My Nexus have I9250XXKK6 basebad radio and PRIMEKK15 bootloader, there is no ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 ROM that can be downloaded from internet if I remember fine, there is ICL53F that is for YAKJU and with that I have bad battery life too!
So only good ROM for my Nexus is: ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 YAKJUXW 4.0.2, try this ROM if you are not using it, it might work better!
I hope this helps even little bit!
on IMM76I my battery goes to 53% in 5 hours, in ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 my battery goes to 20% in 1 day 8 hours (I listened music only 30 minutes..)

You need to provide more information. We cannot possibly know why your Nexus is draining fast. There are hundreds of possibilities and you provided no information about what is running, how fast power is draining, if the phone is entering deep sleep, signal strength, rom/kernel, or any other information. Unless someone here is a psychic, you're SOL on finding out why your battery life sucks until you provide more information.

thank you
my phone is "stock 4.0.3"

the phone is owed to my friend, and i guess
-after 4 to 6 hours "not heavy use"

OK!
YAKJUXW Does not have 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 so if you don't know what is your phone version "yakju/yakjux/other" then you can check it from build.prop via File manager (ES File manager), Baseband changing might help too, or maybe your Galaxy Nexus battery is bad..
Are you using 3G?
I'm using WiFi all the time and still I have good battery life..

Can you share the original YAKJUXW ROM somewhere? My Gnex was YAKJUXW when I bought it but I did not take a backup when switching to YAKJU. Battery life on my device went bad after the lates IMM76I OTA update. I've done a factory reset but it did not help.
And I am 99% sure that it's wifi that's draining my battery a lot. Prior to IMM76I I used to keep my WiFi always on and it never affected my battery much. Now I have to remember to switch WiFi off when I leave home or otherwise my battery dies in 5-8 hrs of standby.

I can upload My YAKJUXW ROM PULL but it needs the fews files to make it flashabe and I can't make it flashable, also I have made restore but that might not work on your galaxy Nexus or I don't know.. :/
Do you know any app that can make it flashable via Windows?

Can't I just use fastboot to flash it?

I'm not sure, the system is in .ext4 format, that can be opened via WinRAR but I don't know is it flashable via fastboot!
I also have dumped XXKK6 radio baseband 12Mb + boot.img + recovery.img + primeKK15 bootloader..
I try to make them flashable but I'm sure that I will fail..
you can try to use restore to flash the system.ext4 but other IMG files have to be flashed via Fastboot!

READ whole: READ ME FILE in the zip file!
http://code.google.com/p/android-for-jet/downloads/detail?name=ICL53F.I9250XWKL2.zip&can=2&q=
ROM Build: ICL53F.I9250XWKL2 YAKJUXW 4.0.2 STOCK
Baseband: I9250XXKK6
Bootloader: PRIMEKK15
This is not same as YAKJU ICL53F 4.0.2 ROM!
If you have battery draining problem then try this!
I'm not sure is there posted This ROM as flashable...
Flash this at your own risk I'm not sure will this work or not!
Maybe there is somewhere posted it or then it was older version but with that I had bad battery life too..
With this I have good battery life!
baseband is dumped and it is XXKK6 (12Mb)
EDIT;
This is 4.0.1 YAKJUXW version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625700 It was not good on my Nexus but maybe now it is because my Battery is changed...

I will try that 4.0.1 build. I guess it should update to 4.0.2 almost immediately. Let's see

OK! Yes it will update it to 4.0.2...
And then just have to wait 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 for that and then 4.0.5 if it is coming...

Thanks for help. I am back on yakjuxw and maybe it's kinda autosuggestion effect but my reception bars look much better now (I mean more of them ). Let's see how is battery life.

If you have time then can you tell me how good is your battery?
My battery is not so good anymore, I don't know why, all files is same but battery drains faster or i don't know..
My battery 8 Hours 22 minutes:
30% left!
Screen 61%, screen used 2 hours 11 min
Music 10%, used 29 minutes
Android System 9%, used 2 hours
I feel like my Galaxy Nexus have little bit bad battery life!

It's a little better but not by much. After 11 hrs of standby with about 1hr of screen-on usage it's at 60%. I can see that Wifi-on does not hurt battery so severly and reception is better. But on the other hand overall system UI performance was much better on 4.0.4. Now app drawer stutters a little especially when scrolling through widgets tab. I will still try a factory reset with no restore from Google backup.

I flashed IMM76D which I updated to IMM76I...
again using IMM76I only with other bootloader + baseband version..
I let my Nexus to be in idle 6 hours and if battery drains to 70/60% then again back to ICL53F......
try XXKL1 baseband on ICL53F ROM (if you want), maybe it's better or then XXLA02 baseband.. XXKL1 might give better battery life..

After a bit of research I would say my battery issues were related to apps and not ROM. I decided to start fresh and I flashed IMM76I again but this time I opted not to restore my phone from my Google account. That've made a huge difference. I started to install apps one by one and observed how they impact battery life. So far I noticed a problem with Facebook that directly after installation kept the phone in "active" state for several hours. I do not what was that but it went back to normal after a reboot. Now my phone eats about 5% per 4hrs of stanby.

ok!
and if you force close Facebook when you don't use it the it might help to save battery life, on my GN screen and phone in idle uses too much battery but Faecbook does not use really much, I also force close it when I don't use it and also I like more the browser facebook so I don't use really much Faecbook app.

I haven't installed many other apps that I had installed before.
Those include:
Adobe Flash
Adobe Reader
Facebook Messenger
Instagram
LinkedIn
Pulse
Skype
Kindle
Maybe one of them was a battery drainer.
Now I even use a live wallpaper and my battery seems pretty ok. Yesterday I ended up with 52% after 15hrs with about 1.5hr screen usage. Of course WiFi, 3G and Sync always on. Screen on auto-brightness.
Facebook app I keep installed and it does not seem to hurt battery that much after initial "something" that kept my phone awake for several hrs. I do not know, I might have been an initial sync of contacts but anyway it should be pretty quick on a 20 MBps network.
Apart from Facebook I have now installed the following apps:
Tapatalk
Pocket
Evernote
Dropbox
Fancy widgets
Google currents

For me Flash player uses much battery wit Dolphin browser HD when I watched videos from internet.. (videos for PCs/laptops with newest flash player)
I watched videos on my Gnex 20 minutes to get battery fully empty to try fix battery draining problem (no luck..)
Facebook: if it is open all the time then it's using battery little bit..
about the other apps I don't know does them use much battery or not... maybe fancy widgets uses battery too but not so much as facebook..
On my GN I always disable Bluetooth, (2G/3G,etc.), WiFi, GPS is on..
Google maps uses battery little bit too much when I don't use it.

[Q] Wierd battery behaviour

Hi folks, so yesterday I updated my GNex to 4.2 jelly bean, everything working very good except one small little problem ... So I left my GNex over night and woke up this morning finding out that my battery got drained quite a while ... Went to check what it is and BAM ... My screen waisted 39 % of the battery which is quite a feat, since it almost never drops under 50 % The second top drainer is Android system with 30 %, I mean wtf?? Does any1 else get so high values after updating to 4.2? Just to note I'm on a yakju Gnexus ...

there are many factor that can affect the life of your battery, one of it is the kernel ur using.
try different custom rom. try this from PARANOIDANDROID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
So far it has been stock, but what's bugging me is the fact that Android system is using 30 % of the battery, the same system that was using 1 % of the battery back on 4.1.2 also stock ... I'm wondering what the hell happened with it -.-

I had the same issues. My problem was the exchange account. Had to do a hard reset after upgrading to 4.2. Issue was resolved after the hard reset and setuping up the exchange account without Push.
I am also on stock and the culprint of constant wakelocks is Google services.
If I turn location services off - I have usual batt. life as I had with 4.1.2 but as soon as I turn location on its getting into drain mode.
- same apps installed as on 4.1.2
- default stock kernel
- issues either on OTA version or odexed rom (via CWM)
- factory reset doesn't help
And I don't want to believe it's an error on my side, why should it be, it worked before with the same setup and same apps. Probably will go back to 4.1.2 as I don't want to wake up to a drained phone.
Now in order to get the same battery life as before I have to disable Google now/location access.
I have the exact same problems on the Nexus 7 just for the record.

Huge battery drain overnight (all off) with JB 4.3

Almost 15% of battery drain overnight in 9 hours, with 3G, WIFI and SYNC off, only 2G active.
Yesterday I had 20% of battery drain.
Can please someone help by having a look at the better battery Stats screenshots?
thanks

I don't know if you're Maguro or Toro, but you need to have a data connection or this phone will chug battery. This phone is notorious for chugging through battery when looking for a data connection.
1st time I ever read this...
I have Maguro
left it with wifi and 3g on tonite and list 22%
no one else?
Might be helpful if you name your ROM, kernel and carrier. I have a Maguro with JellyBeer and the newest Golden Kernel of today (with some Trickster mod changes) and only getting like max 5% drain a night.
Edit;
I see it in your sig, so stock 4.3 ROM? I am on 4.2.2 so can't really compare it. Are you in a bad connection zone there? Any unnecesary apps running?

yes, stock 4.3, very good 2G signal, no apps running in background (well I have facebook, but not messenger, and all google apps, of which i use only gmail, gmap and gcalendar, g+ is not connected, still at night sync is off).
if you have a look at the three screenshot on my first post, you will see the servioces causing wakelocks
If you look, the 1 and 2 screenshot didn't influence a lot on battery.. It looks high, but if you pay attention, it's draining 0.9%..1% so, not the beest battery life, but "normal". If you pay attention now on "deepsleep" screenshot, you will see that it drained most of the battery during the night.. So, my conclusion? Maybe some problematic gapps , trying to connect to some server to sync even with sync off, try another gapps. Second option : flash another kernel, it could be caused by kernel keeping the phone awake even when it's trying to deepsleep
Edit : almost forgot.. You could try to connect to wifi, and leave the phone for some hours with sync enabled.. It would sync what the phone tries to sync and fails during the night.. Sounds crazy, but solved my problem once!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
with wifi on it drained 22% in 7 hours
besides... I not sure how u r reading the screenshot but the one for "other" simply says that of the total monitored time of 9h 14m 54s the phone was in deep sleep for the 96.2% of the time

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.2 Alpha (Build 3) --- great stuff, but battery drains fast

Hi,
I follow the forums here for years but have not posted yet, hence not allowed to post on the dev forum in the appropriate thread, had to open a new one
A couple of days ago I installed "[ROM][JB][4.3.1][JLS36I] CyanogenMod 10.2 Alpha (Build 3)" on my wife's phone. Until then she was still using the stock GingerBread ROM. The phone got so slow to the point of not being usable at all.
After I flashed to CM 10.2 it feels like a new phone. Lightning fast, good looks, everything works - fantastic, very much appreciated and thank you very much @ Devs!!! :good::good::good:
One big problem though:
When running the stock ROM the battery usually lasted about 2 days. Now, with CM10.2 it is empty after half a day. Since I did a full wipe before she is using less Apps as compared to before and there is no single big consumer. Just the typical mail apps, facebook etc.
When I look at the wakelocks there is one app consuming most CPU which is CSipSimple. But that app was also running before the upgrade when the battery lasted 2 days.
The screen seems to consume more power though, is that possible? Anyone else with similar experiences?
Thank you very much!

ok thanks let me do some reading.
Also yesterday I deactivated the SIP app and that helped of course. Still strange that the app consumed to much less power on Gingerbread compared to CM10.2

You can try out battery calibration app before new kernel. Cause there is no "wipe battery stats" on cwm 6.0.4.4. I had same problem, and its a bit effected on cm 10.2. It's free. Maybe it will solve your problem.
Battery Calibration
That sounds very good, let me try that!
I have the same issue with increased battery drain. Yet I've not been able to identify the source. I disabled a lot of services (with Disable Service), also deactivated unnecessary system apps.
Cell standby is also shown as a huge drainer, although I usually have a good signal and no losses (checked with Better Battery Stats). There are no wake locks out of the ordinary.
Now I'll try battery calibration to see if that helps at least some amount.
Actually for me nothing really helped.
I eventually identified the 3 apps that drained the battery via Wakelock detector.
Those apps are Facebook, GMX Mail (based on K9 mailer) and CSipCimple.
Before the update to 4.3 my wifes phone was running the stock gingerbread and did not have an issue at all with those apps.
Yet on CM4.3 they are draining the battery.
Once I uninstalled the apps the batter life is back to normal. Which is sad, because she needs those apps. But no other solution so far from my side....

Again the myth with whiping battery stats / battery calibration. Make a full charge and unplug the charger. This will whipe your battery stats.
And for the ones who never get this. The stats are just some data about apps consumption collected while the battery gets discharged. The ROMs are whiping them by itself on each full charge and after shuting down the phone.
This data has no Infulence to how long a battery lasts. It´s just collected to show you visually the statistics.

Thanks ... yeah well did not really expect it, but when you're desperate
At least I thought it helps with the effect that the first 50% of the battery last 3 times as long as the last 50%, but not even that changed

I had the same problem with my S4 running CM 10.2 stable. The battery was empty after 8 hours. What I did was to change the theme, and today i got 12 hours and only 20% of the battery gone and wi-fi/3g all the time. Well, I still have only one hour of screen up time, but that is how it was before... I don't know, i'm just saying! Maybe it helps. The theme i added is LunarUi 2.
All the best!

Bad Battery Life since KitKat

Hi Guys,
i have a bit of a problem with the battery in my GNex maguro.
I'm an avid Rom flasher, but when i have something that works well i usually settle with it for a while. So i flashed Cataclysm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995801) sometime in the last months and it was running great. Best bettery life i had so far.
Then with the release of Android 4.4 i looked for a rom to test it. I flashed XP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539201) and i really like the 4.4 changes.
But since then my battery won't even last a day in standby mode. I thought maybe it's an issue with 4.4. still, but even after flashing back to Cataclysm (newest release) i still had the same issues. I thought it may well be, that the final version isn't what it used to be, so i flashed another rom again. This time Purity (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012706) aaaand... still the same problem. So now i'm pretty much lost. I also tried different kernels (lean kernel specifically) but to no avail.
My battery used to last 2+ days in idle mode. Now i can see my battery drop every minute. It barely holds over 10 hours. I already did a full phone wipe and flashed back to stock before installing cataclysm again but still no improvement.
I hope someone can help me here or point in the right direction.
Sorry if this topic already exists, but the search funtion doesn't seem to work right now and google didn't show something helpfull.
Thank you all in advance.
I don't know why you would still have bad battery life moving back to the original rom you used but.. on 4.4 it is most likely the new Google Now features that constantly listen for voice commands. Disable it by long pressing on an empty part of the home screen and go to settings. Slide Google Now Off and go to voice and turn off hotword detection as well.
I get great standby battery life on 4.4. I'm running the 11/29 ART build of cmetal(toro), 150ish hours of uptime without any issues so far.
Re: Bad Battery Life since KK
What kernel are you running? Are you just using whatever kernels come with each ROM?
I'll try turning off google now and the voice stuff and report back.
It still seems really weird to me, that the problem still persists after flashing back to 4.3. My guess would be, that 4.4 flashes something hidden that messes with the battery. But i don't know where or what.
Especially since it persists after a complete wipe (/data, /system and /cache).
Well, i'll see how it behaves without google now.

Well i used mostly lean Kernel with 4.3 roms but i can't find any 4.4 kerneles besides CM. I have XP installed right know which uses CM Kernel.
Re:Bad Battery
Make sure your governor is set to interactive or ondemand...it could be seeing power drain from being set to one of the performance settings.
It's also possible that your battery is just going bad...do you have a backup battery you can try?

It could just be that you need to replace your battery. They are only good for so many charges and do degrade.

Reporting back. After deactivating google now yesterday my battery is still ****. It's at 50% after 2h idle and 30 minutes screentime. Before the 4.4 flash it would be at around ~85-90% now. I suspect that 4.4 flashes something in some hidden partition that i don't have access to, that messes with the battery. Users on other boards report the same issues as i have.

Just checked. Governor is set to interactive. It's also the default setting.
I sadly don't have a backup battery.
It could just be that you need to replace your battery. They are only good for so many charges and do degrade.

Could be, of course. But it's kinda weird that the decline is so dramatic and it has to be a pretty big coincidence that it just happend after a 4.4 flash. Seems unlikely to me.
edit: I'll order a new battery just to eliminate the battery as the source of error.
Mine is pretty bad but it's running google play to death so maybe gapps flash was bad? dunno

this maybe issue of ram management.. try some good apps to control those background & foreground app from running without control. dont use any task killer.. please
i recommend using greenify.apk. donate version much better.
sorry for my bad english

Same problem here. Since I flashed Kitkat on my phone, battery life isn't enough to last a day on standby. I tried installing another kernel (ASKP) but to no avail. Please keep in mind that I'm not very experienced with custom roms and rooting my phone. Does anyone have some good tips to improve battery life?
Update: After fiddling around a bit with better battery stats, greenify and a bunch of other stuff... i still don't have a solution. I made some screenshots of my stats, but can't post them here because i don't have permission to do that...
So i reflashed swordrune's cm11 rom and it seems to be working better with 1080p kernel w/o art enabled. i'm 11 hrs in with 80% battery on the extended battery (toro btw)

are u sure greenify didnt helping??? already got rooted & exposed installer running??
can u state your screen on time??
usually gnex can handle 3-4 hour screen on depend on battery condition n phone performance... not include idle n stanby time.

Screen on time ~1:30h

that will help.
if u lightweight user, i suggest u to optimized performance. use apps such trickster mod, rom toolbox, or in addition of any light battery saving apps ( for optimization)
should be improve on screen time.

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also experiencing battery issues after flashing the XP 4.4 rom. I did enjoy it but the battery drain was terrible. Not only that, for some reason my charger drains on a 1A charger but charges slowly on a .7A somehow. I only have 1 micro usb cable so I can't test if it's the cable and I can't find any apps to check the current speed. I tried downgrading and flashing to Slimbean but so far it's been no dice.

Ok, back again. hibernated every app and system-app that was running in background. Still wasn't getting better. I then saw the only services still running are google location services. I deactivated them now to see if these are causing it.
The biggest wakelocks i have are "wlan_rx_wake" which seem to be a known problem with KK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519294
I then researched again and found several threads in google groups which describe the same problems that i have. Across several devices (though mostly Nexus 4, 5 and 7).
Google seems to be aware of that issue and is working on it.

Yes, same for me. Charging is really slow since 4.4 as is the bootprocess of my phone. From the first vibrate when switching the phone on it takes ~10 seconds until the google logo pops up.
i dont know any about gapps issues bcoz not running any gapps in my phone since last year.
1. try searching for updated radio.img (baseband/ radio) if got any network issue.
2. try install trickster mod app. this app can help you for tweaking into deep sleep, also help for optimizing.

Hmm I don't know if this is going to resolve the charging problem but i will try it and also try and use a battery calibrater and come back.

Frustrating Battery Situation. Let's figure it out! help??

I never had a good battery on this phone since I bought it (second hand)
my average SoT is about 2hrs for around 15h uptime daily
I formatted many times trying to fix it, changed roms, kernels, governors, interactive profiles. nothing worked
I thought it was the battery. so I changed it by myself and it's the same, or even worse than before (lol)
Yesterday I removed my google account to see if I have too many services running. and still have 25% active drain and 3% idle (ex kernel manager stats). too much
I don't know what to do now.
1) someone suggested me to watch wakelocks but I need help on that because I don't know how exactly and what look for
2) do you think that could actually be the device? is it possible that lg could accept it as defective? I don't think so. they should be able to repeat my issue, and we know that isn't possible since battery usage is very personal
3) do you have any configuration you suggest me to try.....? maybe I'm missing something
Thank you for your attention, I hope that this thread will be useful for everyone
Personally, that's just about right for me. I think I get about the same SOT if I had light usage. Usually though I get 3-3.5 hours SOT with around 12 hours off the charger. I top off for an hour on the charger once a day everyday and just got used to it. A lot of times if people have longer​ uptimes, doze was working overnight​.

Have you tried to flash it back to the stock nexus image? (Return it entirely to stock) That would be my first step in nailing down battery issues. It will completely wipe your device, but it rebuilds all the partitions and updates everything to the newest images. (Assuming you've downloaded the newest release from google). Then you can run it on pure stock for a few days and monitor it. My n5x isn't the greatest either with battery, and standby drain is brutal on nougat no matter how you configure it, but I usually get at least 4 hours of sot. It also depends what you have running. If you're using bluetooth and location services, google assistant ect, it follows the battery is going to drain much quicker. If you flash the stock image, you need adb and fastboot installed. There's lots of guides here on XDA.
@throcker, my advice: try a ROM, stock or PureNexusc, clean flashed, without GApps, any Sync off, GPS and mob data off. You should get 5-7h SOT.

I wiped completely several times, downgrading to 6.0, updating via ota, flashing lastest image, with and without encryption
I use bluetooth (g watch)
I'm very experienced on flashing and stuff, tried everything by myself, this thread is a desperate thing

tried that too....
You all wanna know what's going on now?
battery 23%
Google play services 18%
whatsapp 11%
screen 10% (1,12h)
and I don't even have google account.
@throcker: GPlay-services means, you flashed GApps. They are busy in the background without account.

I'm sure you can hit 3 hours. Just don't expect 15 hours off the charger.

That's an extreme exception. You're on the far right side of the bell curve in battery life. I bet I can't even let YouTube play for 8 hours straight to get that kind of SOT. LOL

What features do you lose by doing this? I'm assuming you can't install apps, but can I still sync my contacts/gmail with my google account?
@crazyates: l sync contacts&calendar with PC by MyPhoneExplorer and mail with mailserver. Free apps from GPlay by apk-downloaders.com.

oh $#!T.
but...I'm really bounded with google services stuff, I sync my pc chrome, keep, docs, maps....
I think I'll give this a try, but there is no way I could run that setup as my daily.....
Same here and I don't really know what to do... Really frustrating and I don't even have BT, NFC and GPS toggled on!
Use BettetBatteryStats to check for wakelocks during the night to see if something is keeping the phone awake. Then I also recommend either unplugging the phone from the charger right before going to bed or setting a custom reference point to check how much the phone drains during idle. I had the problem that my phone was draining about 2.5%/h in idle even with nothing installed, airplane mode, everything off and so on. This turned out to be a hardware problem which could only be fixed by replacing the motherboard. So check if you have the same symptoms that I did.
