1.5 hour battery life - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

I'm sure if I only left the screen on.. it would maybe barely last more than 2 hours.

Might have a bad battery

OP looks like you have some serious wakelock problems. And/or bad hardware.

Um did you see that graph? He has more problems than just the kernel.

Is this cdma/verizon

Mine is and I'll fess up that this is pretty accurate. I can get about 4 hours screen-on time with my 3800mAh extended battery. The 2100mAh extended battery gets me about an hour screen on over the course of a day.
This screen is the hungriest thing I've seen in my life.

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.
Edit: read a few more posts, wasn't troll bait it turns out.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, wakelocks are one avenue to explore. Install Better Battery Stats and follow the instructions/procedures, etc... from its thread here on XDA.

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.

On screen time of only 7 minutes, but 4 hours unplugged ? That basically means you haven't used the phone much at all. When I am unplugged for 4 hours, I easily have 1 hour on screen time. Lets see your battery life then ?
Agreed. Only 7 minutes on screen is nothing.

What makes you think its CM9 ROM? It could be the Franco kernel. I'm using franco kernel on AOKP and battery life is pretty amazing

yeah, i'm getting on average 18 hours of battery life on just stock revolution 2.1.2.
best so far was 17 hours and i was only at 68%. and that was with about 30 minutes of phone calls and maybe an hour of screen on time.
uhh you had the screen on for 7 minutes.
Use it for a few days then come back with a normal 1 day of use.
Its not CM9 its Franco's kernel... I'm running his new 7.1 with Bugless Beast and its amazing battery life

LOL why do people post "amazing battery life" threads and it clearly shows no use. I been seeing these threads pop up, even with the extended battery someone claiming 24 hours. C-Mon guys, I love my Galaxy Nexus but lets keep it real. I'm not doubting CM9 will improve the battery life but these exaggerated battery life threads are getting annoying.
I think OP and the rest of ppl responding regarding Franco's kernel is standby battery life has significantly improved. Check out the AOS thread...some ppl were losing 3-5% per hour on standby!

3-5%/hr on an Android, even in standby, is great. That means you're getting somewhere between 20 and 33 hours of standby. That's far better than any Android phone I had in the past.

Kang Build 29
IMO the thing we should be concerned with getting down is battery drain while screen is on. I'm completely stock and if I hardly touch the phone (10 minutes of screen on) I can have 85% battery after 12-14 hours on 3g with Bluetooth on (no wifi and I'm on att). But if I calculate my screen on time it's about 3 hours before the phone is getting close to dying, which is pathetic. If we could use some magic kernel or something to get 6 hours of screen time, then I think that's something to be happy about. But unfortunately I don't think that's possible without a giant 3200 mah battery which Samsung probably won't ever release.

Amazing battery life on 4.0.4

I flashed Paul's 4.0.4 ROM a few days ago and my battery life has greatly improved. I wouldn't normally make a new thread about something like this but I've seen a lot of people complain about poor battery life. Hopefully this ROM helps others as much as it helped me. The ROM is still in beta but it's surprisingly stable.
I always keep my brightness at 40%

Yeah, that's pretty low for a day and a half worth of usage. We already know that the Galaxy Nexus idles like a champ.
He still has 60% left so he's still got a lot of usage out of that charge. Could be looking at 2 days at that rate but yeah you don't really use the phone that much do you.

I've seen as low as 0-1% battery lost over 8 hours of sleeping before. So that plus WiFi for a full day isn't hard. I've been at 75% battery before with a full 24+ hours used but it was on Wifi with little screen usage and minimal things like texting and short calls and not much else.

I second this, another thing is half the time people forget to mention their on AT&T not on Verizon, and they compare their 2 day battery life on GSM to an LTE phone...
My biggest battery hog is exchange syncing every 15 minutes, and with that and LTE with nothing but stock apps in the background I can get 2, 2 1/2 hours of on screen time within a day

Anyone else getting battery the bad?

That's really bad then because he's just on EVDO (3G), not even on LTE assumedly.
We need to see his awake/screen on times. He's probably got some wakelock problems (at least).
Sounds about right. I usually get 6+ hours (heavy usage).

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.

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.

Edit: it dropped another 5% as I posted this
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.

Jellybean batt life observation

Seems jb batt life is pretty bad. 2%/hr idle. Alot of wake locks also from maps and networklocator. :Im assuming all from google now?
Noticed that over the last 24 hours battery life was worse than usual while I was on jellybean. Think you are probably right that Google now is the culprit, I really hope that it gets better before the ota but at the moment it just doesn't seem like it will be worth "upgrading".

Well, it must be Google Now. I turned it off and my battery is relatively the same as it was before. When using background location update, you can expect it to drain battery a little. Google Now uses your location data quite a bit.

I'm getting pretty good batterylife with JB. Over 10 hours on battery and over 3 hours of screentime and I still got 40% left with 2000mah oem battery.
I have yet to flash JB, but one thing concerns me. Is this not just a dev preview and not the final product that will be pushed out mid-July? Not to sound harsh, but I don't see why complaints are being made about battery life at this stage of JB. Just my 2 cents, fyi...

My battery life over the ~12 hours i had jelly installed seemed the same. Good standvy times also. I think it will depend on how much of the new stuff google added you use that will determine battery life. Some of that stuff will make a big impact.

If you are getting bad battery life and wake issues, check your apps. I've heard LightFlow was causing wakelocks b/c it isn't optimzied for JB yet. I've deleted it until they can get it updated. So far, my battery life hasn't been great b/c I can't keep my hands off of it
Yeah, I would agree that battery life seems pretty good. It seems a little worse on Franco.kernel than stock, but hey, it's a new kernel and he is still trying to get all the kinks worked out. Also, no wakelocks on Light Flow, but I hope they update it soon, lots of my notifications stopped working.
Ehh I don't think its terrible at 2% an hour. Better than 10% an hour. I'll take a little drain for the beauty of JB
Sent from my JellyBelly Gnex
IMO I think it's draining a little fast, but I think that's because I keep flashing kernels and add-ons which reboots and causes the battery to drain super fast... and I've been messing with apps a lot too. So I'm gonna give it another day or two for a definitive answer.

I don't understand what people expect??? They want to have an awesome huge screen, fast processor, 4G speeds, want to run apps like crazy and then have Google Now constantly updating and expect the battery to last all day?? People just need to be realistic!
I'm completely stock and my battery is almost the same. Think it's a bit early to tell yet, we've all been playing more with the new rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I am under the impression that the drain is slightly higher than on ICS, I am now 5,5 hours after charging, with 88% left (and a screen time of 18mins). On ICS I would be around 90 to 93% (with the 2000mAh battery). But nothing really to worry about.
Having said that, I did have lightflow installed and it did show in the wakelock screen, so I uninstalled that to see if the next charge gives me even better endurance.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084WZ99S/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I recently purchased an extended battery from Amazon that only cost 8 bucks. At first I said, who would be stupid enough to put this in their phone? Well, turns out I was wrong.
I bought this battery in hopes that it would bring my 2100mAh battery (the official Samsung extended battery) from a 12 hour day to at least 24 hour day. It did not only do that, but it exceeded that.
First off, my phone is running Vicious's variant of CM10. I'm also running Faux's 19 Kernel and I've under clocked my CPU to 912 mhz. If I REALLY see a difference in the speed, I'll just put it back up to 1.2ghz. I will enclose pictures of the phone day by day of the battery usage and how the phone looks. The phone feels great to me! I'm that kind of weird person who likes to have a bulky device in my hand.
With Amazon Prime, I got the phone shipped to me in 2 days. Freaking awesome for 8 bucks total.
Of course not all can be good with this battery. The back battery door does fit but the color is really off compared to the other backs of the phone. Just looks a little weird but I'm use to it.
Typing on the phone does take some getting use to as its a whole lot bigger but that can be expected with any battery of its size.
Below I will be attaching pictures of what the phone looks like with the battery on and my daily usage.

I won't be able to link until I get 10 post so stay updated to the thread.
I'm wanting to see the link too. I'm doing ok with the seido 3800 but honestly I would expect more than I'm seeing.

That's pretty big. But you can't argue with the results. I think I could learn to live with that.

It is not a official Samsung battery so it is very unlikely to have NFC.
whats the screen time? are you using wifi or 3G?
I bought this battery and also the Seidio. Honestly the Seidio does bettery, but this battery did fine also. Well worth a couple of bucks.

I have both 4G LTE and WiFi on the whole day.
For all you wondering, NO NFC.
Also, CDMA it looks like.

Yes this is a CDMA battery, not sure if it'll work for Sprint though. It works fine for my Verizon device.

I use my phone naked. I think with an extended battery AND a case, I'd probably kill my self. It already makes the device thick enough and I'm not worried about dropping my device. I take good care of my baby
A 3800mah (no NFC) battery came with my most recent Galaxy Nexus. After watching 1 hour of the Google I/O YouTube video, it used 10% of the battery. So, 10 hours of YouTube on a charge.

Eh, YouTube videos drain my battery really quickly and I just prefer watching YouTube videos on my Mac or PC anyway
I was right about to checkout, when I noticed that it said its for verizon only. I was excited to buy it for only 8 dollars
Wait a minute, verizon back covers and batteries do fit on the gsm one am i right?
Someone please confirm if it will work for gsm. Thanks
