From what I've read on the forums, update your kernel and ROM, and/or wipe your battery stats. I believe Clockworkmod should let you clear your battery stats. Boot into recovery with CWM and look for it.

Wiping battery stats does nothing..absolutely nothing. As system is deleting stats every time you unplug your phone @ 90-100% of battery. Wiping it just makes your battery information/calculations go berserk.
You could try can install with fresh rom. I suggest trying slimbean, full stock or with Franco's kernel. Also consider changing your radio/ril if you're in area with bad reception, 'cos it'll drain your battery also.
I'm doing easily 14-20h uptime with 3-4,5h screen on time with slimbean+franco. Idle drain is about 1%/2-3h (no sync, data nor wifi).

This. Every time someone says to clear battery stats, FSM eats a cute and fluffy penguin chick. Why this grossly erroneous advice still continues to be posted almost a year after it was clearly and concisely debunked is baffling.

From DX power booster, which shows hardware power consumption, the radio power consumption is basically negligible... 95% of battery was taken by CPU and screen

If you're referring to a some kind of an app which shows you battery drain, be noted that those figures are fully hypothetical since there isn't a way to measure power consumption inside the phone. Figures are made by algorithm with some data from spec sheets, Android battery stats, etc. It can give you some hints but can't be blindly trusted.
And I have had tested several radios with my ex-SGS and saw that wrong radio had huge impact to idle drain, especially in the low signal strength areas. If course CPU and screen are still the main drainers, but imho radio can't be left without notice..

Flashed to leaked Jelly Bean OTA and trinity kernel still draining like buckets. Got a a battery on order so hopefully that fixes it. Its not a CPU issue as its in deep sleep 80% of the time. Even in Airplane mode its draining at 5-10% an hour
Also 20mins drained 4% using stock 4.0.4 no apps installed. Completely idle
Reflashed to 4.0.4 but unchecked keep my phone backed up to Google and Restore from google and now only draining at about 2% an hour in standby. Now Im running eclipse with leanKernal and getting 1% an hour drain

So it was that backup service what kept your phone awake/running at higher CPU speeds. For a next time, go and grab BetterBatteryStats from chamonix's XDA thread. That one would have said that *backup* is keeping your phone awake (I have seen that in my phone also). Let's hope that you're phone now behaves nicely

I did install better battery stats but nothing was keeping the phone from going to deep sleep. It was in deep sleep roughly 80-90% of the time

Ah okay, then it's little weird since backup service has always appeared in wakelocks and that's how it has been easily founded as a culprit for drain. But anyway, your problem is solved and therefore case is kind of closed

My battery drains way to quick! After plugging at 100% my battery drains every 10 sec. I've tried almost every rom. And right now I'm using milestone 2 from Franco. Still, feels like the battery is draining way too rapidly. I've tried resetting the battery stats and did full recycle of battery as well.. Help! Do I need to get a different battery? This is killing me! My battery suffers too much from just regular use!

Search xda for betterybatterystats. Its an app that will show any wake locks you have
My guess is you have screen brightness too high, don't forget its 4.65" and its thirsty for battery!!
What are your battery usage stats in settings? The GNEX is notorious for its atrocious initial battery life, but if I understand you correctly that it's going 1% every 10 seconds, you must have something installed that's really churning things along or, indeed, a dodgy phone.
How much does XDA want to bet this guy just never puts his phone down, constantly has 4G on, and nothing is actually wrong?
Also, please FFS use the damn search tool.

strange thing is going on. my battery dropped form 50 to 17 %, than from 30 to 9% ect. before that i took out battery because i wanted to see something.
after that. battery life is getting worse. usually i could get about 4-4.5 hours of screen time. but now only 2-3 hours.
what is going on with my battery
Check your apps and install BetterBatterStats. It could be rogue apps not letting the phone go to sleep or making it work more than it should.

It is often the kernal with the new JB roms. In an older build of Franco's kernal if you opened the camera when you first started the phone it would fix battery drain. I suggest a new kernal! (Franco's runs great on mine! ). If this doesn't work you might want to recalibrate your battery. This app works great, search "batterycalibration" on the play store. It will delete your battery data so your phone will charge to an actual 100%. Hope this helps!

There is so much wrong about this post its not even funny.
All kernels are pretty much equal. It all depends on how you tune it. You cannot calibrate your battery... all that does is delete battery stats. Which again DOES NOTHING.

The GNex has a 1850 mAh battery while the N7 has a 4326 giant mAh battery. That's more than twice the juice. What did you expect?

I've experienced crap battery since moving moving to JB as well. Same kernel and I can only manage 3.5 hours of display over like 8 hours. On Wi-Fi. Whereas on ICS same kernel as JB I was getting 5 hours. Its not just this guy.

I picked up a spare battery over the weekend (identical 1750mAh Samsung batteries), and today I ran the first one from 100% down to below 30%, and swapped. When I arrived home, I popped in the first one to charge it, only to find it is at 58%. I guess the principle is to not pay too much attention to the exact number, and to keep all my batteries as highly charged as possible...
I don't seem to have any rogue apps. The phone appears to sleep very well when I'm not actively using it.

If your battery randomly drops when you reboot your phone do this :
Let it die completely until it turns off, keep it turned off and then charge it completely (usually overnight ) and then turn it back on and it'll show you a very accurate battery percentage

So I bought my ATT GS3 out in Los Angeles this summer and then I returned to New Jersey to find that I have horrible battery life. It was not right away so this could be completely unrelated. As of right now my phone is at 75% and I let it drain while i was sleeping for 10.5 hours. I have tried several different roms which are usually good the first two days and then after that the battery life is bad again. I thought it may be some application I have installed so I removed a few of the ones I remembered downloading since I got back to NJ. I also updated to the latest radio ending in H9 because I was two behind when I checked. I have attached some battery information below. Any help anyone could provide would be great. I have tried Juice Defender which did save some battery life but it also caused a problem where I couldn't use the internet for 10 seconds after I wake the phone.
U need a Rom with cell standby fix

I thought the cell standby problem only effected the international GS3? If the cell standby fix was the problem then I shouldn't actually be draining that low right? Something must be draining the battery then. Google maps is probably draining the battery but how do I stop that from happening?

Ariel 2.10 fixes everything!
I just installed the standby fix and im going to test that and see if it helps. If that doesn't work I'll try the other roms everyone has suggested. Will take a little while to make sure whats good and whats not though. Thanks for the advice.

Just another observation. Battery tends to drain faster if you leave it in your pocket. If you flash a rom, you might have to calibrate the battery stats. I only lose 1% every 2 hours overnight if I leave it on a cold surface.

So I have tried a few different roms and I'm still not happy with the battery life. I calibrate the battery after every rom installed and I usually keep that rom for atleast 2 days to test it. Right now I'm on AOKP. If the phone is on standby whats the general %/hr? When I go to sleep my phone drops from 92%-75% for about 10-11 hours (on desk at temp 60F). By Apocalypse487's response I should only see a drop of 5-6 % over night when I see 17%. Am I supposed to me losing this much battery life over night? To me I feel like I barely use my phone. Today wasn't too bad with 1 hr with screen on and about 1 hr in calls. I made it about 1 day 1 hour 36min on battery. My phone was sleeping for about 23.5 hours. Is this the typical battery life or is something wrong with mine? Tonight I'm going to try juicedefender and see if that helps.

I'm using ParanoidAndroid based off of CM10. Version 2.16 of PA gave me the best battery life. Try that. Certain Roms have better battery management, but that probably depends on the kernel. PA uses stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'll give ParanoidAndroid a try and see what that does. So Juicedefender ended up making it so I only lost 1% over 9 hours. Thats pretty good. Way better than I wanted. So what could be draining the power over night. Is it because my data is on all the time but shut off when using Juicedefender?
I use Trinue 2, and I use an app called Go Power Master.
In GPM you can setup options that will turn off mobile data/gps/wifi when the screen is turned off, will automatically turn them back on when the screen is back on.
Those things little things I find can make a big difference for the battery to last throughout the day.

It's as Sianspheric says, common things like gps, data, and wifi uses power. I just started using Juicedefender since my friend told me it helps. Also download battery calibration. It's a root only app. Don't let your device discharge completely. It's bad for Lithium Ion batteries. That will clear out any bad data from Samsung.

hey guys
I'm new to GNex (3 days user here )
my nexus has a serious battery drops when it reaches to 40% on every roms and kernel!!!
it is like this that when battery percentage is under 40% it drains super extremely fast even w/o any usage to nearly zero ( in about 20 min ) of course some times it even does not get to 20% and phone shutdown!!!!!
i also calibrate battery but no success .
( my battery usage above 40% is normal and i get nearly 3+ hours screen on with moderate usage but it sucks below 40%)
any help/suggestion/etc is welcome.
thanks in advance
edit: screen shot added
**********************************************************************
i notice several nearly same topic but no one exactly mentioned to my issue so i created a separate thread
sorry for spamming
Do you have consistent network signal throughout the day? Just saying as 40% may have been reached by the time you get back home, for example.
Have you checked if your phone wakes up too often - triggered by some application?
(Further to above example, perhaps some location based applications starting up?)
A screenshot of battery usage would be nice.

When you say you "calibrate" your battery, what exactly do you mean? If it's wiping battery stats, that has nothing to do with anything even remotely related to battery charge or indication.
From the screenshot you posted, it looks as though your screen is constantly on. That's another tangent, though.
You'll need to try a factory reset, but be advised you'll lose your data. If that doesn't fix it, then you're likely looking at a bad battery.

It really bears mentioning that there's no user calibration of the battery. Anyways, if this is happening regardless of rom, then you're looking at it being defective hardware. You'd want to first try a new battery. If it still exhibits the same symptoms, the problem would be the phone itself.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
You could try and rest the phone (switch wifi off, screen off and keep phone unused), and see if the drop is still drastic after say 50%.
Tried the ZenSeries v8/9 too? I had good battery times with that, close to 4 hours screen time with 25% remaining.
Do check what month the battery was manufactured on, and if it's a recent manufacture month, it may be faulty.
I have the same problem too with my Yakju. I am using stock ROM updated to JB 4.2.1 manually. Battery drops dramatically from 40% when sitting idle.
I've been noticing that my battery life seems to be decreasing consistantly. I've tried recalibrating my battery stats a couple of times, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
My usual charging behavior is to let the battery get down to 15-30% and the other charge it either overnight or all afternoon at work, depending on when the battery gets low. I try to either keep the phone on the charger as long as possible or let it get as low as possible so that I'm not running additional charging cycles through the battery. The screen is usually set at 35-50% and it is always the thing that eats up most of my battery.
Am I imagining things, or is my battery life nowhere near what it should be?
