if the battery life doesnt get better im selling this crap. i love this everything about the phone but the battery life. its just plain crap. can you guess please help try and figure out the problem. i have flashed every kernel and rom and always bad battery life.thanks
Looks like user error to me. There are a lot of times that your phone is awake and the screen isn't even on. Your apps are what is killing your battery life.

most people get between 4-5 hrs of screen ON time, this has nothing to do with ur gnex, it's related to an app u have, try to locate it and uninstall, or mail the developer about the issues u're getting with it.
you have bad signal and your apps are keeping the phone awake.
You can't seriously blame the phone for what is user error.
Your apps are what's causing the massive drain and unless you do away with the apps causing this drain, your battery life will always seem crap. I suggest you uninstall KTREweather and find a weather app/widget that's more reliable.
I take it it's this app you're using? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rdHJlLmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
Judging by its features, I'm not suprised it kills your battery. Live radar and storm tracking? Who needs that?
You have serious drain from awake apps, and looks like you're doing a lot of streaming radio/music? And your signal is absolutely terrible. All of these together will absolutely drain your battery.
use this free app called diagnosis to figure out which apps or processes are causing you trouble https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en

generally, i dont let anything run on my phone that i dont want it to run. if you have root, there is a good app called autostarts that lets pick what app you want to start up when the phone boots. only when you actually open that app itll start up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en

Why do people keep saying this ****? Get apps that don't eat your battery. Until then, don't try to claim someone else is wrong.

I just want to make sure that this battery life looks reasonable. A good portion of these images were taken yesterday, and I wasn't really messing with my device all that much, as I was doing a lot of work.
Thanks for your help, I will try to get some better detailed descriptions per image next time I am almost down to no battery.
Nope. It doesnt really. Gtalk is keeping your phone awake a lot.

I don't necessarily agree with the Gtalk issue but I do notice two problems.
First of all, you only had signal 60% of the time (?) and you are using Facebook. I would disable the facebook app or remove it since it's notorious for causing severe battery drain (at least for now). If you're in a low signal environment, you won't be able to really judge battery life very well since the phone is expending a lot of energy trying to maintain or look for a signal.
I read somewhere that gtalk eats up a lot of battery? aint it so?

Its possible. I can't tell from the logs he posted if it was causing problems. Its one of the apps that I freeze or delete cuz I don't plan to ever use it.

Unfortunately, Facebook is a must, all of the notification settings and geo-location stuff is disabled. I gotta be addicted to something right? I have contemplated deleting my account, so when that happens the app will be removed.
Gtalk is now frozen.
Low signal, I can't really help, I work in a brick building.
That isn't very good battery life it also depends on how much you were using it.
Bump added pictures for the past two days worth of battery stats.
I tried having Google Talk disabled for two days, didn't seem to decrease the awake counts.
So I tried uninstalling it, still doesn't seem to have helped at all.
Today, I may have used the phone for an hour and a half maybe. Beyond that, I haven't really used it.
Hi,
I have been having a problem of battery.
1. Battery dies from being 100% overnight.
2. Phone randomly shuts itself having more than 40% battery but shows 0 battery when it restarts.
3. Phone restarts quite frequently when taking a picture. (once a week)
Please let me know what should I do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same drain problem as your number 1, but not the other 2 issues. The funny thing is it only started a week or so ago, before that it was fine. I've been running the Viper rom, and Faux kernel without a hitch for over a month up until now.
I used to get a day out of the battery, and 2.5-3 hour screen on which was fine IMO, but not anymore.
I'm wondering if a recent app update has caused the issue, just speculating though, also it seems to be that the drain is happening when I'm not using the phone, when I do use the handset for whatever it uses the battery as normal.
Not trying to hijack your thread, just thought I'd give my two pennies worth as I'm having a similar problem.

You seem to have a lot of applications running and something is keeping your phone awake. Any awake time when the screen isn't on also is an application using your phone.
Go to the play store and check the permissions of your downloaded apps, any app that has the permission to keep your device awake is a candidate for your problem. Uninstall them all and your problem should be gone, re-install one by one and see when it returns.
Regards
Phil
The problem occurred again. I have attached a image of the battery stats.

Looks like it's the radio causing the majority of your drain. How is the signal in your location? I see you've switched from EDGE to 3G during the screenshots... if the 3G signal isn't great then it will cause battery drain searching. It might be worth forcing your phone to either 2G or 3G only and seeing what happens.

Actually I just switched to 3g in the last couple of days. I only had 2G previously and the problem still occurred. Its funny that it happens only at night.
I think its the time for a fresh start. Format your phone and start all over.
So, how much will it takes you? Less than 3 hours? I'd say go for it.
At lest it would give you less headache and hopefully more battery.
Good Luck

Have you turned data off or put into Airplane mode to determine if you have a signal/sync issue?
Is MEDIA high in your battery stats?
Everything already mentioned it could be many things. First is a screen shot of your battery stats on the device and a screen shot of on screen time.
1. Are you syncing anything?
2. Are you mostly on wifi? 3g?or LTE?
3. Do you use Facebook app?
4. What kernel? Any tweaks?
5. What governor?
6. What scheduler?

Data is turned on and when I put it in airplane mode I don't seem to have problems there. MEDIA is not high on the battery stats, it's always ANDROID OS. I can fully charge at night and unplug the charger and not touch it until morning (about 8 hours) and the battery will be at about 92%.

I rooted a couple of months ago and ran stock rooted for about a month and then started checking out custom ROMS. I haven't had many problems although I did get in a bootloop at one time and fixed it without problem. I figured fixing my battery draining issue would be much easier this way and I was right thanks to people like you guys that ROCK!

Ok, I've charged my phone to a full charge over an hour ago and I've been using it a bit here and there and it seems I can already tell a difference. I left data on but turned sync off. I'm really thinking the auto sync was my problem since I wasn't leaving Wi-Fi and it was still draining to fast. I was losing about 8% over night with no use at all so I will know better in the morning. Regardless I will post some screenshots of my results sometime tomorrow.

Hi
'Noob' here, be gentle, please.
My original Desire is 2.5 years old. So is the battery that started playing up.
It didn't last long and the phone kept suddenly switching off at about 50%. I guess it's a pretty common problem: Htc Desire Shuts down at 40-50% battery
So, I've bought a new one, "aoonen".
The new problem is that it stacks at 15% when charging.
The LED light turns green and it shows in the Status: Battery status - Full, Battery level - 15%.
Sometimes after plugging out an back in it starts charging and shows 16-17% for some time, but soon it stops and shows 15% again.
If the phone is switched off, the LED turns to amber and remains amber, but the battery seems not to be charging as the phone remains cool and it's the same 15% when switched back on in few hours.
It's original HTC charger and cable, but I did try other cables and PC USB ports to no avail.
Factory reset did not help.
Neither did booting to recovery with wiping all caches and battery statistics.
If I replace the new battery with the old one it shows 100%.
Android 2.3.7 installed by my son (I am no expert in this) in Nov 2012.
Kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g2a32ab1 [email protected] #31. I still have cm-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip on the SD card and used it for the recovery.
If it's of any importance, before buying the new battery I tried using some apps (uninstalled now) that didn't help: Battery Calibration and Easy Battery Calibration.
I like my Desire, I fits all my needs and I am very reluctant to replace it.
Will be grateful for any ideas and advices.
you deserve credit for researching your problem thoroughly .
to be honest, just sounds like a fake/counterfeit battery. it doesn't look like a reputable brand to me.
you've tried calibrating the original battery and still get early shutdowns?
i take it you still need a new one, personally i would recommend official battery if you can find it, you get what you pay for.

It was mentioned somewhere as a good brand. And what's the point in faking/counterfeiting some unreputable brand? This was exactly my thought that a 'genuine' battery is far more likely to be fake.

no, i've never replaced my original battery after nearly 3 years now probably should, so can't give any recommendations as to where to buy one.
it's a minefield, but be thankful that it's relatively easy to buy a replacement, unlike some new high end phones.
calibration should only be done with proper apps, this is the only one i know of that works, you have to find and follow the instructions carefully, though i've never done it myself. my battery still dies anywhere in between 15% and to 6%, which i can live with and just gotten used to. however if yours is dying at 40-50% it's likely that it's aged beyond its working life.
cwm is short for clockworkmod, he is suggesting you wipe battery stats there, but this myth has been debunked for a while that it does not calibrate the battery in any way.

Some user says there: "You must read the tutorial on XDA if you want this to work. Follow it step by step."
Anybody knows where it is at XDA?
The censored link was to "Battery Calibrator" app by Jon Richards
Real calibration is done by:
- wait until the battery is completely empty and the phone shuts down
- insert a charger immediately but leave the phone OFF
- wait until the phone is fully charged
This worked perfectly for me!
