Screen on time?

Yeah..screen ontime would help. I usually last like 14 hours with 5 hours screen on time. I don't hold back since I have a spare on the external charger lol.

Its ok if you're a hard core user like having your face stuck on the screen all day long

You should give undervolting a shot if your kernel supports it. That helps with reducing power consumption while in use, while juice defender helps with reducing power consumption while not in use.

Heres an update no charging

That's not very good, even given the fact that you're on 4g the whole day.
You need something like JD. The 4g looks like it's killing you.

I dont know what's going on but I never had a battery drain like this...and I have the galaxy nexus extended battery in!!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

yeah that's rather bad. i would put on average that our phone would last 4+ hours display on screen without the use of JD and other stuff.
I would say voice uses more battery than display on.. but barely... like 1.3 : 1 ratio in use voice : display.
Your android system looks a bit high too. Maybe a fresh wipe and install would help things.

Dude.. 22hrs? I need your current setup lol that's a decent battery life i would be happy with that!

it's not your signal, your signal is mostly green when in use. and as you can see the cell standby and stuff is a small %. but yeah try a different rom.

Kernel controls and battery life issues.

For the last few months Ive been using the thread located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599025 while this does great help to my phone I still have a hard time keeping a decent charge. Lately Ive found that It takes an incredibly long time to charge however, it seems less time for it to go dead. What am I doing wrong?

hows your usage? post your battery stats and screen on time from tbe phones main settings, battery.

Now this is just standby time...this is including minimal usage

Screen on time sir.
And screw the 4G. The max screen on time i see for people using 4G is 2h+, a GSM gnex can normally achieve 3h-4h+.

Terrible battery life after updating to 4.1.2

I've had TERRIBLE battery life ever since upgrading to 4.1.2 a couple weeks ago. I unplug at 7am, and by 3pm, it would be dead with minimal usage (max 30min. of screen on time) I've tried factory reset, and deleting all mp3 files to see if it's a bad mp3, but to no avail.
Attached is screenshots of battery usage and badass battery monitor.

I agree with this thread, having the same problem. Any answers? I have Wi-Fi turned off but are you talking about cell tower searching? Is there a way to control that? Possibly if the phone is constantly searching for LTE and 3G speeds at the same time?

Since 4.1.1 i can't reach 3 hours of screen usage before battery has expired. Can someone confirm that?

i flashed bigxies stock 4.1.2 rom with trinity a67 kernel yesterday and gotta say i am impressed by the amazing battery life i am getting

I'm still talking about battery life after update so I'm guessing your just a idiot and have the reading comprehension of a 5th grader like most people.
Also I have noticed testing with my phone by forcing it on 3G only the battery life is much better so I'm pretty sure its the switching back and forth of the networks. That was for people who actually have a brain.

People who "actually have a brain" don't need to be told that 3G-only is better for battery life than 4G/3G.

Turning off Location Services seems to help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Same here for me. I wiped everything, reflashed the stock 4.1.2 image and still have the battery drain, even with no accounts set up, location services deactivated, flight mode on and no extra apps installed. Drain is pretty consistently 5% / hour and my battery stats show no active states when the screen is off. I thought about it being related to a defective SIM card, but the same drain is observed with 2 different cards or even no sim card inserted. I have no clue what else to do...

I got my Gnex after JB was released. How was the battery life on ICS? How long could you have the screen on?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

When I didn't use my phone a lot, I went home with 70-80% battery after a workday (sync fully enabled, working WiFi all through the day). Screen time was ~3h.

So, is it worth going back to ICS? JB is superb, but i hate not being able to keep the screen on for a long time. I read a lot on my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Depends on what screen time you're getting now. My major concern is standby drain which is so high I couldn't get a decent amount of screen time if I wanted to. Oh, and and I use the European GSM Nexus, btw.

Red light... IR or Proximity Sensor?

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3, the I747, which is currently running the 5/10 build of PAC-Man, the 5/9 build of the KT747 kernel, and task650's 5/8 gapps. I dropped it about a month and a half ago, shattered the screen, and had to replace it. A quirk to this is that I had to replace it with a screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710. After I replaced the screen, on Friday, I flashed to the stuff I'm running right now. Yesterday (Sunday), I noticed that the sensor directly to the right of the front-facing speaker is lit up with a very faint red color at all times while my phone is on. I have done a little searching, and from what I can find, everyone is attributing this to Viber, which I don't use.
It's this one:

My proximity sensor and light sensor are working fine still, but my main concerns are battery life and longevity. Is this light being on going to either hurt my sensor in the long run or create unnecessary drain on my battery, and if either is the case, what do I do about it?

I noticed mine was on one day while i was in bed, just rebooted and haven't had it since. I don't see why it would need to read data from the proximity sensor unless your on a call or so it shouldn't drain battery . if your in the SMS app then it might be using it for direct dial but I'm not sure if you have that feature in pacman

Any ideas for a probable culprit?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Try a program called greenify. It will tell you which programs are causing wake locks and what is using the most battery.

Hi, I used to have Viber installed, until I noticed that dot I didn't relate it. It made me panic so I went through my apps 1 by 1 and found viber to be the one keeping it always on even when its not running. If you don't have Viber, go to your installed apps page, go to downloaded tab and force close each one. If the red dot is persistent then its another app. Keep going until its gone and you'll find the culprit.
Have a good day.

JuiceDefender Alternative

So I've been using Juice Defender for the past year or two now, and though there have been reviews somewhat negative or that it's only a placebo effect or something, it has helped my battery life extensively. There are times where I might accidentally disable it and forget to enable it, and my battery life gets worse enough that I notice almost right way and Juice Defender usually helps with that.
The feature I use the most is making sure that Data and Wifi and stuff are turned off when my phone is locked, but with a few exceptions for some applications like Pandora. Just looking for another application that can do something similar, and yeah, there's other things too, such as turning off the WiFi when there it can't connect after a certain interval, and not turning on both Data and Wifi when there's WiFi, for example.
Just looking for another battery application that does the same. Juice Defender has some small bugs on my phone such as messing with the bluetooth and they haven't upgraded their application in like two years now, so yeah, I'm just looking for a more updated application.

I've been using Deep Sleep Battery Saver Pro and GreenPower Premium. I have to say the first app is not as customisable as the second, but it's pretty smooth, effective, has a more logical interface and I've never experienced an issue with it. There's also a free version that also does the job. And to all of you sceptics, YES, IT HELPS.

you must try this app. battery doctor.
it saves my nexus 4's battery alot.

checkout tasker. its a little bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it. Boy your phone can do marvel.
My Tasker Config:

Data On : when Screen On
from 19:00 to 03:00 : Wifi On (when i'm at home)

Only problem here is the 2 day waiting period lol. I'm a flashaholic and its driving me mad lol.......5 hours remaining until learning mode completes. Really hope its worth it ?
I'm a firm believer in giving a ROM/kernel sufficient time before complaining about battery life ( thats why i never complain about battery) so I guess this is giving me that sufficient time to let my phone settle at least.

Using a combination of 2X Battery Saver, and Snapdragon Battery Guru. Works wonders.
Sent from my Nexus 4, the only phone approved by Patrick Star

I am currently using Battery Guru as well by Qualcomm, but I had a quick question. Like slymobi, I like to flash the latest update for whichever ROM I am using at the time. I have about 13 hours left until baterry guru is done learning. My question is, if I do a titanium backup of everything including battery guru and then after installing new rom restore the app with data would I need to redo the learning process or can I just let it run based on the original learning process? Hope this question makes sense.
Thanks!
