anyone know what this does? i would imagine this would help a lot with battery life. but would i continue getting push gmail through my gmail app?
would there be any issues with my weather and calendar syncing (set to every 4 hrs)?
nvm.. not helpful at all. left this setting off overnight and lost about 15% over 4 hours..

This setting is actually very helpful for battery life...
what it means is, when u have it checked as on, 3g will keep connected while the phone is in sleep mode.. if turned off(without check mark) it will turn off 3g while the phone is in sleep, I think after about 10 min or so, and will kick back on as soon as you take the phone out of sleep.
I use this and helps very much. you can also set wifi to turn off after 15 min of sleep time which also saves battery.
I literally get 3 days with my inc2(Very light user when this happens.)
hmm maybe further proof my phone is defective.. good thing i have a replacement coming in. because i actually saw worse battery performance with it off than leaving it on. went to bed with it at 95%, wake up to 80%

Just curious....what was wrong with your phone that you had to get it replaced?
And that 15% wouldn't be abnormal at all if you had an app that ran too much. You should try SYSTEM PANEL app from market. Its awesome to track every app and how much juice its using.
Yup...Tapatalk'd
bad battery life. i have nothing running in the background. gmail autosynced and weather and calendar syncing ever 6 hours. that should not result in 15% over 4 hours with screen off.
Cool. Hope the new one works out.

Me too. It was probably the biggest reason I got the phone instead of getting a used inc1
It is problem because he had 3g off and it still syncd

Don't use any type of battery monitor, widget or notification.
I was getting good battery life but had a few weird cases of reboots and where the phone would just shutdown and then need battery pull to get back up.
Since I stopped using any type of battery monitor/widget/notification my battery life is much much better (same usage pattern/apps) and I have not had a single reboot or issue.
I just wanted to share this for people having problems. Worth a shot.

i've been getting close to 20 hours on the standard battery.
expecting my extended oem battery soon!
GSM version of course!
There are a number of things that affect this. Most importantly, use CPU spy to check how much time your phone spends at each frequency, or rather in deep sleep. Some monitors in certain settings will keep the phone awake, draining battery.

My AndroidOS wake time is much lower after getting rid of the battery status apps
I use Circle Battery Widget https://market.android.com/details?...oid.CircleBatteryWidget&feature=search_result and it has no noticeable effect on battery life.
I'm using Battery Solo Widget (was using Circle Battery Widget before) and it does not have any noticeable impact on battery life. Right now I'm at 36 hours on battery with 24% left

Do you even power on your phone during the day(s)?
Use airplane mode at night while your u sleep. I lose less than 1%

Well the screen was on for 1 hour and 50 minutes (at max brightness) according to battery stats, so I'm not using it THAT much but the point is that a battery widget doesn't seem to have a big impact on battery life.
I also noticed that if I stop constantly closing applications after using them (by swiping on the ICS task switcher), my battery lasts a little longer

and lose 100% of your incoming calls or texts. good for battery life, not good for anybody who has a job/life that requires constant connectivity.

Yeah this isnt an option, I need to see missed calls and what not
However, when I do not have the androidOS wake bug, if my phone is on wifi I lose ~3-7% overnight, which is good IMO
I went to bed last night with 96% and left everything on and syncing and woke up to 88% so I think I'm content with letting it do it's thing. That was my first night with it so I expect it only to get better.

I suppose if you work 24/7 you are correct. For those of us that don't, airplane mode is a great option. Also Google voice solves the missed call problem - you will be notified by email when you take airplane mode off.

As crappy as the battery life is during daily use...idle at night even with wifi left on and updating turned on its still only about 1% loss per hour...Also running the th3ory axiom roms too if that helps.

What if someone calls you and its an emergency? Like one of your kids calling to say they're stranded somewhere? Still a good idea? Or how about just plug in your phone while you sleep? Brilliant!!!

I run the stock GSM battery, it lasts all day so I have no complaints.
If I had the samsung spare battery w/ charger for business trips i'd be set for those flights and airport waits.
Are most of you keeping the GPS ON or OFF and what have you noticed in regards to battery life?
i keep it off. i've had too many apps in the past that just wouldn't quit and kept trying to access the gps while off. drained my battery pretty dang quickly.

I used to never shut it off, now I keep it off until I need it. I can't tell you anything about battery difference in this phone because I have had it off mostly. Just depends on how much you use navigation and other gps necessary processes. The only thing I use GPS for is navigation , so it stays off until then.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Ok, I too used to keep it on all the time(old phone). I just noticed my battery yesterday went from 100 to 80 in about 2 hours(not using it, screen off). I assume the battery could be calibrating itself, but today I turned off the GPS and its MUCH better.
I just wanted to see what others were doing.
Many thanks
Leave it on all the time and have a number of auto checkin spots for latitude. I'm seeing a full day of battery with heavy use no charging to the tune of 16 hours 5.5 hours screen on. 2 push mail accounts, Google Talk active, lync active, and a number of rss and podcast feeds being checked every 2 hours. I'm also on wifi 95% of the day, so I don't have that heavy 3g battery drain killing my battery prematurely.

hi guys,
sorry i'm noob and this is second time im posting on xda forum. I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus Made in korea by samsung. It's currently running on 4.3 latest update phone doesn't lagg or nothing happend like crashes etc but please see below major problems im facing.
Phone getting hotter from back side where camera is installed
0 to 100% it take 5-7 hours to charge ( I tried both wall and USB)
I charged the phone to 100% in night and i didn't use the phone night in morning when i check the phone the batter was at only 12% left. the phone eat all the battery in 7 hours the most battery was used by phone idle 57% and stand by 33% & i didn't put any sim card in the phone whole night and automatic wifi was on which was only 17% battery.
again i charged the phone to 100% close the automatic wifi and insert a sim card
The result is like
After 3 hours 57 mins battery was at 52%
Screen take 49% total screen on time 16m 1s
Phone Idle 22% 3h 41m 29s
cell stand by 10% 3h 54m 55s
Android system 5% (CPU TOTAL 1m 47s *** CPU foreground 33s *** Keep awake 1m 19s)
I don't know what was the battery time before 4.3 update becuz when i buy this set it came with 4.3 and i bought this 3 days ago. Is this a battery problem or the phone problem or its the android ???? any type of help is welcome
Thanks in advance
The Galaxy Nexus is known for its not so great battery. It also just depends on how you use it. If you are playing games, watching videos, etc. it will drain fast. If you just check a few things here and there, it will last longer. That's common sense. But yes, compared to other phones, the Galaxy Nexus sucks with battery. Theres not much you can really do software wise. The best thing you can do is get a bigger battery or a spare battery. I have a charger pretty much wherever I am so battery isnt an issue for me. But if you are someone who is on the move all day, I would suggest a spare or an extended battery.
EDIT: Actually, looking at your screen time, you are getting a bit above average on phone idle. Right now, my phone idle is at 8%

Yes i read that and i planned to get extended battery but the cell eating the battery while screen is off. I'm just confused about the OS 4.3 i read alot about that after updating to 4.3 nexus 7 user experiencing of slow charging and battery draining but as you seen in attached pic the phone eating battery without any usage the total on screen time is 6 min and in 3hrs 57 min 48% battery gone ?? so in your opinion what is the prob is it OS, phone or the battery ?

Well I see in your screenshots that it looks like you don't have any cell service. What could be happening is that your phone is constantly searching for a connection, which could eat up a lot of battery.
best bet

youre best bet if rooted and unlocked is to install a custon kernel and underclock it to about 1000 mhz ... install dark themed apps or theme chooser theme also us a black wallpaper .. turn off 4g . ... turn off nfc when not in use .. make sure youre using the oem charger to charge the battery .. use wifi whenever possible .. also turn off anything like hotword detection that is constantly listening

The mobile service was on but data service was disable i received 2 calls and some texts msgs 2 but they are not long or didn't took the battery. All syncs were off and location to. But the battery is going down very badly. Please see new attached files of last night. The cell was at 87% battery and in the morning the battery was dead.
Try using something like Better Battery Stats or GSAM and see what they say is draining your battery.
With the current info given, I would lean toward thinking it is a hardware issue. Perhaps your battery doesn't properly hold a charge anymore.

Few hours ago i left for office the cell was on 14% charging and turn-off the cell and put it in pocket. After 1 hour when i reach to office i was trying to turn on the cell but the battery was dead and then i put it on charging and it start from 6% and turned on. I think the battery is not holding charging . The battery is in made in Korea and have NFC details on it. I think its the original battery but its not use able any more. i will try above mentioned widgets before changing the battery.
new screen shots
didn't use the phone and it ate all battery. Any guesses what's wrong with the phone???
need a fast reply.
Try updating the radios (I don't remember how to do it. U dial #something). Also, have gps and 4g turned off. Auto brightness turned on. If u have the Facebook app, get rid of it and just use the mobile site.

4g/3g are off and i ticked use only 2G network. Facebook app is deleted brightness is set to auto GPS every thing is off but mobile consuming battery without any usage.... im just confuse about that its the hardware prob or i have to flash some other rom?
bump! any 1 with solution ?
U really need to get better battery stats. It will tell u specifically what wake locks r causing the problem. Idk if using only 2g is a good idea, u may be burning battery with apps constantly searching for a data connection. Can u access wifi? That takes up less battery than data (3g or 4g). U may want to buy a new battery, they aren't that expensive. U can get one on amazon for like $15. If that doesn't work, I'd try flashing a different rom, maybe even a custom kernel.
I am still running 4.1.2 because I like it better than the newer versions and my battery life isn't bad. I usually get close to 2.5hrs of screen on time. More than a day of standby. Obviously, if I make a lot of calls I will get less battery life. I'm running eclipse rom with leankernel.

Today i flashed Cyanogen mode 10.1.3. i didnt flashed any google apps just to check what eat battery. When i flashed the ROM the battery was at 36%. I used the mobile for almost 1 hour and on screen time was 54min 37sec and battery left 16%. The cell eat total 20% battery in 1 hour continues on without mobile data network and 2G was on. Wifi GPS every thing was off and brightness was set to auto. At 16% battery i stop using mobile and after 30 mins i check mobile it eat 6% battery in 30 min without any usage. then i truns off the phone and after 30 mins i tried to turn on the cell the battery was dead. then i plugged in the charger and i turn the cell on. The battery charge start from 10% but instead of charging i start loosing battery. then i charged for almost 1 hour on 0% battery and took 5 hours to fully charged. My cell phone drain all battery over night under the usage of phone idle 73%. I'm just confuse about that its the battery issue or its cell phone problem. and my phone getting very hot from back left side. I just need a good developer advise if this is hardware issue then i'm gonna replace the cell phone and if its the battery issue and hardware is ok then i will get a new battery and continue using and 1 more thing my phone get little hot even its turned off from back left side and sim jacket side.
Bump! any suggestion ?
I doubt a developer can answer that question. Could be phone, could be battery. I would try a, new battery just cuz it's cheaper than a new phone. Maybe go back to stock and see if that helps. If not, call Verizon and complain, they may send u a refurbished unit.

I flashed ICS 4.0.4 but the highest stat on battery graph is phone idle. The battery was 36% in night and after 3hr 1min the cell was dead. then i put the cell on charge and checked the stats. Phone idle was on top 43% , then screen 30%, cell standby 19%, android system 7%, media server 2%, Android os 2%.

Hey guys,
Wanted to know what your experiences with battery life were like.
When I go to sleep, I switch off wifi, bluetooth and data. When I woke up after 8 hours, the phone had lost 7%. Seems to be quite a high number for it being dormant.
In battery settings, the 'Phone Idle' option was top of the list for battery drain.
Anyone else experience battery drain here? What have you done to help improve it?
Cheers.
What's your reception like?

Don't you need root to use better battery stats? Phone hasn't been rooted yet.
Signal strength is decent, not full bars, but close to it.
My last 2 phones (N5 and OPO) have had really good drain whilst dormant, so puzzling as to why this one is playing up!

My vzw was similar. About 10 hours of no use and was down to single digits.
Did a factory reset and it was better... Teach it who's boss...
Last night my phone was off the charger, at 100% to begin with, at around 2 am. I checked it at 6 am and I was still at 100%. For me, idle power usage has been very low.

Ya you need root. Goto WiFi settings then advanced and see if the 2nd option is on, (its something like apps scan for network even if its off) turn that off. If you want to stop Google play services from waking phone from privacy guard that helps a lot too.

The other thing I did (not sure if it is related) was to disable all the VZW apps and processes. WHen I did that I only lost 13% when left over night and I was down to a respectable 73% after a full day of work (though I intentionally did not use my phone much during that time)
This phone sleeps unbelievably well, better than any other phone I've owned. It flatlines very nicely
I did not manage to factory reset the phone overnight, but I did notice that the battery life whilst sleeping was incredible.
Over an 8 hour sleep, I had dropped 2% battery life. I switch data and wifi off when I go to bed. Now I'll keep an eye on SOT. Hoping to hit the 4hr mark. On my first few days, I got 2.5 hrs.

Even I Am experiencing same problem. Any one plz help
I have the International H815 and I have the same problem. Battery drains too much on idle. When I look the battery stats the Doze mode rarely kick ins. Location is off Bluetooth off and I'm on wifi. When Doze works I have really good battery and I can hit 4h of SoT when not I can barely hit 2.5h of SoT. This must be some kind of bug. Phone does not goes to sleep and Doze rarely kicks in.
