I started on stock 4.0. Then stock 4.1. And now wild for the night 4.2. All of them have gotten horrible battery life. I can't make it through a day without having to charge. The only thing in battery Stats using more than 15% is android OS. Why does my battery life suck?

You have bad battery life because you're on AOSP. That's just how it is. Touchwiz gets great life if you can keep the phone running for more than 10 minutes. Aosp runs great and is smooth but at the loss of 75% of run time.

Where did you come up with that information? I get well over 18 usually 20+hours on any of the aosp ROMs with around 2.5 to 3 hours screen on depending on how much I'm outside have to turn brightness up outside

And yes, I tend to agree with mk on this one. Your information on AOSP is flawed, to say the least. And TW Roms work flawlessly as well, so there shouldn't be an issue with them staying on, unless there perhaps was some user error in the initial flash. Your OS should not be running that hard and heavy. It could be something you have running in the background, apps conflicting, etc. As patrao suggested, download Better Battery Stats and see what's eating up your battery. Try DS Battery Saver perhaps. I've heard great things about that app as well from some of the guys on here. I'm running stock debloated and get about 12 hrs with 2-3hrs of full brightness onscreen time. That's pretty standard with TW and no tweaks, mods, etc.

Thanks for the tip, got betterbatterystats installed and monitoring over the next few days to see what is happening.
Wakelocks
So I've been using BBS to monitor stuff over the past few days.
Items of interest:
* Awake time is always higher than Screen On by a signifigant amount. Today it is 3:1.
* wimax_driver is always on top of my kernal wakelock list. Does this mean that my phone is searching alot for 4g signals, or is it just the result of other waking processes using my data connection which happens to be 4g?
* PowerManagerService, alarm_rtc and deleted_wake_locks are also high on kernel wakelock list.
* AudioOut_2 is the highest partial wakelock with a count of about 20/hour.
* There are a handful of different partial wakelocks related to Google Maps with high counts. SignalCollector.Scanner does about 100/hour.
I have reduced or removed all syncing/notification apps on my phone without much change.
I have the Virgin Mobile edition of this phone if that makes a difference.

Well one of your battery life problems is Wimax. That will kill your battery real quick, turn it off when you're not using it.

What does that have to do with the Android OS taking up 68% of the phone? This isn't a battery issue, it's a software issue.
I've replaced my wife's battery twice, and still have the same issue this guy's having.
Get xposed framework app, greenify and enable the module in xposed. Then get better battery stats, DS Battery saver and flash comadose tweaks in Android development. Go into location settings and disable everything in there. Aosp roms have great battery life and tw roms are incredibly stable. Use your 4g when needed and turn data off completely when you don't need. With those tweaks I get 2 hours screen time with 6-7 total hours on the phone but I'm a heavy user. Ymmv

Lost just 20% in 16 hours. This is of course with JuiceDefender and airplane mode scheduled to run over night. But it's still impressive as we used to get battery drains even at times phone was supopsed to sleep and AirPlane mode on.
My baseband is UGKK7, but that's not what cured it, I had this baseband installed days earlier and battery drain was awful.
In my case it appears all battery problems are cured:

What's your standby current draw? In my HD2 android, I had about 4-9ma. But in Galaxy Nexus it's about 19-40ma which is pretty high. Judging from your screenshot, yours is 16ma in standby?
Possibly, I have no idea. Nexus is known from high default cpu voltage, maybe thats that or maybe it's my apps waking phone every now and then to check things, for example LED light notification app or Juice Defender.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy now, might tweak it some more when I have time, but it's now at the same level as my old SGS2, I'd say a bit better (I think I had 5% night drop on AirPlane mode on SGS2, but again it depends on apps).

That's not it, I know battery will go down when I actively use it. What I noticed is that I get great results when phone is idle. This didn't happen before, you would see battery drain even when idle at night in AirPlane mode. This means light use should also give better battery performance than before, I will be testing that.

I dont know what I did but while IDLe, I get about 1% drain per hour, thats on 3G, sync on (gmail, google+, etc), no juicedefender or airplane mode.
I only tested it overnight, when Im sleeping, notice the ZERO wake locks and crappy signal; unbelievable!
Disclaimer: this was while I was sleeping, NO usage. Battery obviously goes down much quicker once the screen is on, but for idle time, I am content!

It is not useless info. Previously, when putting in AirPlane mode and not using the phone at all we would see big battery drain. Now we don't. This is to proove that now the phone actually goes to sleep whenever I don't use it. This is proper testing before and after applying one change.

I will know next time I go to work. But since I never use it for all these 8-10 hours straight, I should have better battery, because whenever I will put the phone away, even for another 15mins, battery will stop dropping like it used to.
In other words, it will most likely still drop as usual while actively using the phone, but in overall I should get more battery because of much more efficient idle times.
Ummm.... full to %29 in 2.15 hours with the screen off the whole time. Any insight?

Your weak cell signal might be the culprit.

Looks like your phone took an arrow to the knee.

I was very frustrated with battery life too until I flashed Gummy's NEX ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401633) I now can go at least 18 hrs on a single charge with the bigger battery and average to heavy usage.

Sucky battery is the only pitfall of the GN IMO.
Any chance of testing another battery? This could be a hardware (battery) issue rather than software and rogue apps.
I had a battery do this on another device... Less than two hours of non-usage and it would die. Replacing it solved my problem.

Like most other powerful Android devices, it really depends on your usage. It's real easy to burn through the battery if you use your device heavily. It's also pretty simple to get decent battery life if you use the device more reasonably.
I will say that the drainage in the OP looks quite aggressive. I wouldn't consider that normal or average by any means.

Seems jb batt life is pretty bad. 2%/hr idle. Alot of wake locks also from maps and networklocator. :Im assuming all from google now?
Noticed that over the last 24 hours battery life was worse than usual while I was on jellybean. Think you are probably right that Google now is the culprit, I really hope that it gets better before the ota but at the moment it just doesn't seem like it will be worth "upgrading".

Well, it must be Google Now. I turned it off and my battery is relatively the same as it was before. When using background location update, you can expect it to drain battery a little. Google Now uses your location data quite a bit.

I thought JB was pretty good on the battery from my experiences. Did my overnight sleep test and it drained 3% in 8 hours just like ICS did.
As for screen on time, I feel that it's even better than before.

I'm getting pretty good batterylife with JB. Over 10 hours on battery and over 3 hours of screentime and I still got 40% left with 2000mah oem battery.
I have yet to flash JB, but one thing concerns me. Is this not just a dev preview and not the final product that will be pushed out mid-July? Not to sound harsh, but I don't see why complaints are being made about battery life at this stage of JB. Just my 2 cents, fyi...

My battery life over the ~12 hours i had jelly installed seemed the same. Good standvy times also. I think it will depend on how much of the new stuff google added you use that will determine battery life. Some of that stuff will make a big impact.

If you are getting bad battery life and wake issues, check your apps. I've heard LightFlow was causing wakelocks b/c it isn't optimzied for JB yet. I've deleted it until they can get it updated. So far, my battery life hasn't been great b/c I can't keep my hands off of it
Yeah, I would agree that battery life seems pretty good. It seems a little worse on Franco.kernel than stock, but hey, it's a new kernel and he is still trying to get all the kinks worked out. Also, no wakelocks on Light Flow, but I hope they update it soon, lots of my notifications stopped working.
Ehh I don't think its terrible at 2% an hour. Better than 10% an hour. I'll take a little drain for the beauty of JB
Sent from my JellyBelly Gnex
IMO I think it's draining a little fast, but I think that's because I keep flashing kernels and add-ons which reboots and causes the battery to drain super fast... and I've been messing with apps a lot too. So I'm gonna give it another day or two for a definitive answer.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I am under the impression that the drain is slightly higher than on ICS, I am now 5,5 hours after charging, with 88% left (and a screen time of 18mins). On ICS I would be around 90 to 93% (with the 2000mAh battery). But nothing really to worry about.
Having said that, I did have lightflow installed and it did show in the wakelock screen, so I uninstalled that to see if the next charge gives me even better endurance.

Any time you flash a new ROM you should give it a few power cycles to get everything settled, and calibrated, typically around a week of use.

So it does exactly what the iPhone does in saving a lot of battery life but...(as so many Android fans claim) not being a true multitasker. I came from an iPhone 4 and I'd take this over losing 2-3% of battery life per hour. Too bad it requires root.
Pretty cool thanx

If your losing 2-3% an hour its your own fault, choose your apps better. Stock android gets at *least* 2 hours per percent while idle... you installed something you shouldnt have.

Besides no multitasking
The screen is tiny, No location services (Google Now, Maps, etc..)
No Overclocking... There is plenty more.
But if you're loosing 2-3% something is wrong with your phone. My phone last a good 14 hours with about 3-5 hours screen time alone. You're in a website where the majority of the things will need root. Lol

No way does stock android do that well. There are plenty of battery issue threads in this forum, highlighting the unfortunate massive drain. My battery life is, in comparison to most here, better than average. Nonetheless, there is definitely a drain per hour, perhaps closer to 2%. Here are some pics in which I am stock everything including battery.

Yes way it does... lol... its a fact dude. Flash back to stock and load nothing but your google account. Whatever you've gotta tell yourself though. I laugh at people with battery problems on android, its all your own doing. :laugh:

Bro your Android System shouldn't be taking that much battery off. Mine never goes 2% on 15+hrs .. Haha
Looks like something is draining your battery. So it is on your end
