I use badass battery monitor from the market and it can tell you what is using your battery.

app battery monitor uses more battery turn off screen use web mail and web calendar turn off data sync manual this will triple battery life

You should try a couple different kernels. The right kernel can make all the difference.

[Q] Battery Drain

Hi all,
i'm new with DHD, i flashed Revolution rom and i have high battery drain.
I charged my phone untill current was 0 mA, deleted the battery info and reboot.
So i turned on only data connection and leaved about 8 hours sleeping.. from 10pm to 10am all sync are off.. the result is: -25%!!!
I'm trying to find the batterykillerapp but i can't do it!
If i type the code *#*#4636#*#* i can see only battery info, no battery history, if i try using Spare Parts the app crash
how can i find the app that sucks my battery life?

Go back to the thread and look for the radio recommended for the rom. I'm pretty sure these radios are the main reason for battery drain
OR
What do you mean by battery drain? if it goes down fast when you're using your phone. That's not battery drain at all.
You can also go to OC daemon and set governor to ondemand so that the CPU doesn't stay on higher clocks.
i mean that battery goes down fast when i'm not using the phone! -25% in a night
sleep governor is on conservative and wake governor ondemand

Hi, is it possible to wipe batery stats without having root or custom roms installed? My battery drains very fast.
@niyesuh
When you enter Recovery , your screen will be black ,that means you don't have a custom recovery installed . You need to have Root & RomManager whit Clockwork Recovery installed in order to wipe battery stats .

Hey guys, something better with recommended radio!
I'm using the phone from 15 h 24m and i'm at 52%
I think there is still something to fix because in 8 of this 15 h the phone was in sleeping mode and the battery gone down around of 15%
From battery info in the setting menu i can see: Display (40%); System (15%); Standby (13%); Dialer (13%); Idle (12%); Voice Call (5%); Whatsapp (2%).
Any suggestion?

Remember the thanks button
Well lithium batteries fell best if the are fully recharged once or twice a month and then charging just whenever you feel like it really! like from 30 to 76 percent. They do not need so much looking after.

Battery life, not so great

Well, I thought the battery life on my T989D (Canadian version) would be better after installing a ROM (Darkside EVO3, Venom ROM) but after about an hour of usage (phone calls, texting, no video, no WiFi, no GPS).
I replaced it with a new battery and still it's bad.
Could it be a defective unit?
Ideas anyone?

Is this your first flash? Ive have flashed plenty of times, battery life, no matter what ROM, cannot be judged the first, second or third day of usage. Give it five days, and report back. When I used darkside, I was getting 30 hours, with moderate use. Give it time, use your battery till it dies, and charge it fully while off. You will see a difference.
On my fourth day, but I just had to reinstall the ROM..
Now I'm using my carriers ROM, done by Derek Jay.
Hopefully it had something to do with it, not sure.
But I have read that ics and the t989 were having problems.

Koooba, i just posted in another thread about battery issues, check it out here. I been running Derek's Roms since Digital Warfare and never any really issues with his Rom. i would suggest to calibrate the battery, turn off sync on all apps (Facebook is one of the worst) and keep brightness down to a 20% or whatever is comfortable for you. No joke, i get 17 hrs avg on his roms. People been known to get 24hrs+ on his roms and those are the TMo version...Telus is suppose to have be even better.

one of the ways these guys are getting such good battery life is by turning off data. that's a huge one.
btw - i'm on a D as well, and I get consistently just under 3 hours screen on time, and i charge every night. usually end with about 15% left.
it could be due to the horrible signal in some of my university buildings... or the fact that i just leave wifi on all day. but I haven't really been able to crack that barrier.
it will always take about a week for your kernel and phone to settle down.

Most battery drains are from apps constantly running in the background. Use better battery stats and gsam battery monitor and I guarantee after a day of usage, you will track down what is killing it. Widgets, auto syncing of apps and Google are the biggest culprits of battery drain.

Well, after installing GSAM and checking off the option to prolong battery life in the default settings, the battery is a bit better, but not great.
When you turn off data, do you guys turn off ALL data?
Because I have every possible option off...
syncing, GPS, bluetooth, the only data I have on is the basic network data I would think I need to receive text msgs.

Yeah I got all that off when I don't use it. If I get no signal, I put it on airplane mode. I found even if you turn off data and you are in a building with poor signal or none it kills it, even with data off. Do you use any third party apps for text, phone or anything. What launcher do you use? Facebook on manual sync, emails too?
What does app sucker say is draining?

That's crazy then, because I'm LUCKY if I can squeeze out 5-6 hours and I turn off EVERYTHING.
I even frosted GTalk through Titanium, I don't have use Facebook, so I disable that app altogether.
Something definitely has to be wrong with my phone then.
I got the battery replaced for a new one, so dunno what's going on.
Just checked out your post, not sure what badass to governor setting is...?
I just installed the Venom Kernel over the Derek's Evo updated ROM.
All syncing is off, GPS is off as well.
Has to be an issue with my phone and ICS, because it originally came with Gingerbread.

[Q] Is this acceptable battery life?

So I unplugged the phone at 7am in the morning,its almost 12 hours since.
My Usage was browsing 20 mins,facebook 10 mins, 5-10 texts, few apps installation,5-10 emails,5 min instagram,10 minutes of calls, 5-10 minutes reading pulse,GPS on for 5-10 minutes
And general other things using the screen to look up contacts etc.
These are the screenshots below.
Im running everything stock jellybean 4.1.1,stock rom,stock kernel. Its rooted and installed flash apk.
Now i would like to know is this really light Usage?
For this usage,is the battery life good or can it be made better?
Thank you for your time!
Check your location settings in Maps. It seems Google Now is using up the battery by using the "Update Location" feature on my phone.
Yep the location settings are all enabled.

I think the "Location" features in Google Now need some fine tuning. I believe Google Now requires that you have location updating turned on to work so I have opted to turn off Google Now to see if Google will make it more efficient in the future.

Maybe I've always had below average battery life, but if I'm on any rom and I get 12+ hours of it + around 3 hours of screen on time. I usually consider it average. But that's basically what I've got on any rom/kernel, even stock.
At least your Nexus has better battery life than mine!
I'm using stock JB JRO03C ROM with stock kernel + XXLF1 radio baseband and with 3 hours screen using will drain my Nexus's battery too quick...
I gonna buy extended battery for my GSM Nexus but it will not help really much, maybe I gonna test Jame Bond kernel for Jelly Bean if that gives better battery life to my Nexus..

Try reducing the display brightness, it's the biggest factor in battery-drainage for me.
The display is at quite a low level. Maybe I need to flash other Roms to get better battery life.
For example right now.
My phone has been unplugged for roughly 2 1/2 hours. And I'm down to 86% and the screen usage time is only 33 minutes.

That roughly translates to 17 1/2 hours with 3 1/2 hours screen on time. Which is pretty average depending on what apps you use.
Could you provide more details like what apps/widgets you have with what sync settings you're using, email accounts, weather, etc?
Also, what variant of the Nexus are you using? GSM? Verizon? And are you using the stock battery or an extended?
Am getting 11hours 30 minutes now with 10% left.Thats worse than yesterday with pretty much the same usage. Infact i defaulted to 2G networks and didnt even use 3G.
Sure,Im using the stock weather widget and what's this song widget.
The apps that i use daily are pulse,facebook,twitter,gmail,messages,people,speedtest(maybe once or twice a day),xda,gallery,google talk,dropbox and Gtasks.
2 Gmail accounts and 1 other email account are in push sync.
and maybe few pictures with the stock camera app

Facebook is notorious for battery drain. Check the settings in Facebook and make sure to "uncheck" the location setting. Also, try to switch a couple email accounts to do "hourly" checks instead of push (unless you absolutely need them to be push). Also, try reducing the sync intervals on apps like Pulse and Twitter.
Considering you're using the stock battery the battery life seems on par with the usage your phone is getting even when not using the screen. Push, sync, and apps that use a lot of data transfer (like Dropbox) use significant battery.
I noticed the "Maps" application is using up a good amount of battery in your screenshots which means it's probably updating your location quite a bit and/or you use Navigation. Either way, that eats battery life as well. A lot of apps use location so it would be best to check those settings as well.
Also, depending on when you're using "2G", it could mean it is taking longer to pull data which might lead to battery drain.

[Q] Best Jelly bean Rom For battery Life

I'm wondering what ROM people have found to be best for battery life? I'm hoping to find something close to the stock Jelly Bean. I currently get about 6-8 hours on a charge and really need my phone to last me at least 12 hours. I'm not doing anything major just some email and texts maybe a short phone call.
Any advice would be appreciated.
You should be getting closer to 13 hrs
The stock rom is fine
Its your settings causing this
Keep wifi gps off #1
Brightness down
Turn sync off in settings
Manually push for your data
Use power saving mode
Set screen timeout to 15 or 30 seconds
Iff rooted govern the cpu down some
With rom tool box app
Not to many others have bad battery life
Good luck

My answer: switch to aosp. Though make sure you're not syncing unneeded crap, and brightness also affects battery life.
Are you connected to a 4G LTE network alot? I am running GOODNESS JB and I can usually get about 2 days worth if I'm not on 4G. If I am constantly connected to 4G I maybe able to get 6 hours of battery life.

Its been awhile since I looked but the festure to turn sync on and off through account /settings is now crammed deep into ics and jb somewhere
It used to be right under settings accounts and sync when USING GB
Its all trial and error
Adjust adjust adjust , main thing is keep off or down on BRIGHTNESS AND GPS AND WIFI AND SYNC

Good enough!
Completed my first charge-discharge cycle (100% to 1%) on ZL. Standby drain is negligible which is pretty good! Here is the screenshot below (5hrs plus screen on time is good with moderate use = approx 1hr 3G data browsing, 40 min calling, 1hrs music, 45min hd videos, browsing pics, camera use, play store etc.)
All stock rom (not rooted) build 10.1.A.1.350. I haven't had time to update it, will do it tonight.

Update
Hello everyone! Having posted the battery life report about 10 days back, I thought it's about time for an update on the battery life after few charge-discharge cycles. I am consistently getting 4.5 to 5.25 hrs of screen on time with about a day's standby with moderate use (no gaming). I don't know why many people @ XZ forums are complaining about battery life. Below are few screenshots showing the last cycle (100% to 1%) of battery use.
I managed 5hrs &11min screen time with 30+ hrs of standby with stamina & low battery mode on, screen @ 30% brightness with adapt to light checked. It includes:
- 3.5hrs of wi-fi (web browsing via dolphin, google play, app updates, facebook, gmail, email etc.)
- 1 hr of calling (on 3G network)
- 1 hr album viewing (including camera use)
- 30 min music playback (via earphones) with screen off
- 20 min hd video playback
- 10 text messages
I noticed that I get better browsing time with dolphin than the default chrome, and with Wi-Fi use than with 3G data. I could manage only about 2 hrs 40 min of web if using 3G data instead of wifi (with similar usage as above).
Currently on stock sony rom (build 10.1.A.1.434 India), with stock kernel, stock BL (locked), not rooted. I've only disabled a few sony apps & bloatware which I don't use. No battery tweak or mod used other than mentioned above.

I managed 5hrs &11min screen time with 30+ hrs of standby with stamina & low battery mode on, screen @ 30% brightness with adapt to light checked. It includes:
- 3.5hrs of wi-fi (web browsing via dolphin, google play, app updates, facebook, gmail, email etc.)
- 1 hr of calling (on 3G network)
- 1 hr album viewing (including camera use)
- 30 min music playback (via earphones) with screen off
- 20 min hd video playback
- 10 text messages
I noticed that I get better browsing time with dolphin than the default chrome, and with Wi-Fi use than with 3G data. I could manage only about 2 hrs 40 min of web if using 3G data instead of wifi (with similar usage as above).
Currently on stock sony rom (build 10.1.A.1.434 India), with stock kernel, stock BL (locked), not rooted. I've only disabled a few sony apps & bloatware which I don't use. No battery tweak or mod used other than mentioned above.

Mediaserver is chewing up too much battery. If you are using a MicroSD card that has been passed among multiple phones, it may be a good time to clean it out and simplify your folder structures. Cards with too much clutter and junk data can cause Mediaserver to run excessively.

I ended up doing a factory reset, because my notification led was not working. That solved the media server using too much battery, really strange...anyway it's solved now.
Cool thanks for the heads up.
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask how much on the average does your media server consume in terms of battery life.
Thanks

for me it's between 18% to 21%....
Anyone installed and checked Better Battery Stats? I notice that the biggest kernel wakelock is from msm_hsic_host. I'm seeing around 17%. The N4 forums have several posts about this (unsurprising as same SOC) and it seems to be concerning modem handoff from the qualcomm chip. Not sure if this is caused by heavy network usage from an app I’ve installed or whether it’s just symptomatic of having an external modem to the SOC.
What are other people seeing under kernel wakelocks?
The batt life is quite good speaking from previous note owner. With stock rom Iv managed to get 1day yesterday with stamina on, normal phone calls, lil bit of youtube, google, poweramp and stuffs... Inshort normal usage. And today im trying to get it again, or maybe more.

True battery goes faster on LTE I hope Sony will improve the battery life on the new update is ridiculous to have a big battery and die so fast
