Hello Everyone,
Many times while searching the internet for Nexus information, the search keeps having me come to this forum so I decided to become a member. Just got for my G-Nexus the other day, its replacing a Droid 3. Nothing really wrong with the Droid (well), but it was my first physical keyboard phone and I wasn't feeling it, and I heard so many good things about the Nexus I knew I had to have one.
I've had it less then a week now, and so far I love it. Though the one thing I must say I am not crazy about, which seems to be a common complaint, is the battery. It drains WAY too fast. Today though seemed more then ridiculous. I left my house @ 8:45 am @ 100% (right off the charger). Made some use of it on the bus, but nothing much (no calls, no video, no music). Already by 11:30am, I was @ 39%! I mean come on, I didn't even use it that much. Yes, I did notice I left the WiFi on, but it should not have drained that fast. Tuesday I used the device moderately and I was able to go home after having the device on for 9 hours and still have around 40% to spare. Its a shame they cannot make a battery that can accommodate such a great phone.
So some questions: Is it really necessary for me to root this thing to get its full potential? I never rooted a phone before. When I bought the phone, I got a shiny gel case that Verizon sells for like $20 - if I did get the extended battery and door, would this case still fit? I am thinking no. Is the ext. battery even worth getting?
I have more questions, but I will peruse the forums and see what everyone else is saying. So in all I just wanted to intro myself and say I am happy to be part of the forum!
Your battery should definitely not be draining this fast. Install better battery stats(look around XDA) and look at what partial wakelocks you have. Try to remember any recent apps that might have been causing the drain
The 2100mah battery will fit. If you're looking at the 3900mah extended batteries, those have their own custom backplates and won't fit.
I've read that the 2100mah battery adds about an hour of juice.

Sorry to sound dumb, but what do you by "battery stats"..?
And I am not sure what a wakelock is either - if you could explain
Hey,
I got my Galaxy Nexus this week too. This is my third full day of using and I get good 10+ hrs of usage each day. I use it a lot too. At least 2-3 hrs of talking, about 50+ texts, synching 4 emails, and browsing/streaming an hour or two each day.
You should check what drains your battery the most and go from there.

'better battery stats' is an app. go look for it. there's an XDA version
your phone goes into 'deep sleep' to conserve power. wake locks are when something refuses to let it get to that state and locks it awake. This is major cause of battery drain.
Better battery stats is available on the Play Store (ugh hate that name) but the dev is nice enough to give it to xda members for free:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Aside from looking at wakelocks, go to Settings>Battery, then look at the list of stuff (in descending order) that's eating your battery. I went to watch a movie once at 90%, when it was done the battery was at 18% and I never even touched my phone. I checked that list and apparently Facebook killed the battery. Try and look for apps that might be using up a lot and either uninstall them, replace them, or trun off features that might be causing the drain

Root it?
It's a Nexus man. They're fantastic for root users.
All the roms are AOSP...
And bug free (or...mostly. AS bug free as any google build, generally).

I agree with you that the Nexus is fantastic for root, but it's not necessary for all users. I rooted mine because I was use to with my old HTC HD2, but ,except for changing rom, it's useless when you just get your phone.
I think that you can keep the stock rom, and don't root it. One day you will maybe need it, but the stock rom is very nice, it's enough to start (that's what I did with mine).
I noticed you are on Verizon, bad cell reception can chew your battery for lunch too.
There's something floating around in the development section (sprint I think) called battery mod.
Of course, youd need to root and unlock your device to get it working (takes all of about 5 minutes).
I also had this battery draining problem, but installing a custom from with a power saver governor and the battery mod, it'll drain 1% every 30min-1hour. Its essentially in "deep sleep", as the CPU winds down to 0mhz, instead of the standard 350. With this comes a lower CPU voltage, so less energy is wasted.
All in all, this is a great phone once you tame it.
Look for Black Ice ROM. Its probably one of the best here because it let's you choose a stock look or a custom look

Hi folks,
I have had my rogers S3 for several days now. while i love it very much but one issue frustrates me. I get only about 6-7 hours for one charge on a maybe a little bit more than moderate use.
I read somewhere there was an error in one of the system config files but that article was talking about the international version. do any of you experience the same?
My GS3 battery life is going against all the reviews. help.
I had the same problem, I did a factory reset and it seems to be considerably better now.
not sure why the phone kept going into deep discharge, but it hasn't done it since and it's been a week or so now.. is your phone also warm near the USB connector?
The error in the config file was just in regards to the reporting of usage.. Cell Standby usage was being over-reported.. I am not seeing that as being the case on my Rogers SGS3..
One thing I did do is nuke all the rogers installed apps.. I got sick of the VVM+ whining constantly about not being able to work over WiFi.. I just used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the rogers apps.. (rather than uninstalling them).. battery life is quite good actually.. very surprised.

thank you for the info. how is a factory reset done? does that mean i would lose everything i downloaded already? i will give the Titanium Backup a try to get rid of the rogers apps too to see if it helps. yeah, the phone gets pretty warm after a short while.
Are you on LTE, My battery gets about the same with LTE always on since it does consume a lot of power

Well.. this may not be a fix but it really worked forr me. Battery time was at least trippeled.
I drained my battery until the phone shut down, then I connected the charger WITHOUT turning on the phone (allright I KNOW it sounds stupid). Noticed the time to charge it fully increased from 1.5-2 hours to 4-5 hours.
I had to charge the phone during the day before, now it last for 2 days at least.
The cell standby is still wrong but that is just a indication fault, this was a real problem for me.
it's the rogers apps!!!
FYI - disable the rogers apps (all of them) and your battery life will DRASTICALLY increase. I've tested this with them enabled (battery life sucked), and disabled (battery lasted for like 1.5+ days).
Oh and let rogers know their apps suck like I did. The more people that report it the more chance they might actually fix them. A fun way is to do it to their twitter account @rogershelps
If you decide to keep them disabled, be sure to call Rogers and tell them to remove any of the features those apps use...thus reducing you monthly bill.

With root you can either delete them or use titanium backup to freeze them (stop them from running or updating).
I did this (freeze the Rogers apps and most of the samsung ones) and get all day battery life (6am to midnight) with between 4 & 5 hours of screen time.

I've found that battery life is related to cell coverage. If I have 3-5 bars and I'm not using the phone I could lose about a percent of battery per hour and my phone will run at a 40-45 when I do use it. If I only have 1 or 2 bats and it keeps switching between 3g and 4G I could easily lose 6-10 percent an hour and my phone will run at 50 or so degrees celcius. A restart seems to help the phone get a better lock. All this temps were cpu temps.
I just did a wipe/reset and found that this worked for me. I couldn't squeeze out a day with it and now go to bed with 30-40 percent left.
Battery life
My battery life on a debloated stock build was average. I was getting about 16-18hrs on moderate use. I've recently tried CPU Editor battery saver profile and so far its going great. I'll post back on the results after I go through a few charging/discharging cycles.

[MOD/SCRIPT]CPU Editor SGS3 Edition - Secret to Die Hard Battery
I'm with rogers and my battery is pretty awful too. Not quite as bad as yours, but still not as good as I'd hope with LTE off.
What kind of usage do you have though ? For example I work with a guy who has the same model and was complaining about battery. I checked his stats and was at 35 percent battery with 4 hours display time. If you're getting 5 to 6 hours screen on time that's enough to kill battery. If its in standby for 6 to 7 hours and battery is dying then something is wrong

I've had very similar issues. Tried several ROMs and had charging problems and finally ended up on cm10 and it took about 3.5 hours to charge from 30% to 85%. Then dropped to 80% after only thirty minutes off the charger. Not sure exactly what to do to fix the issue.

You will find your phones battery life will improve, mine wasn't that good for the first few days.
When ever i get a new phone i always charge it over night & then when its off charge leave it till it bleeps to be put back on charge, do that for the first few times as i find it gives the best life.
Mine is very good now

can u say how long your on screen time or general battery life is? but at the first few times/days/weeks it's really bad but after few charge cycles it will bet better because the battery has to improve itself with the information the phone gives, you know? wait and charge and after a week or so it will be really better...
Or if you just disable google now you will be good. If you disable google maps aswell your battery life will be perfect. Something is wrong with those two

if you play more then 1 hour or so then that's not so bad because if you play a game or two only from full charge you can reache 2- 2,5 hours...with games like THD games or other which make a lil bit more heat or so ....and if you play only games like solitaire for this time or so ...then that's really not normal...you know that in the hox are 4 cores and 8 gpu cores, and therefore the battery isn't like in a phone with 2,500 or more mAh because our has only 1,800 mAh ...if yo uwant to disable it press long home button and then you can press the menu button and there will be settings in that you can disable google now and for the other google things just go in settings then apps and then all apps and there you can click on any app ! but don't deactivate system apps! and if you click on them there will be a button deactivate and yes press it and it is disabled
I usually play Dead Space but not for more than 20 minutes because the phone heats up like hell -.- And I disabled google now hope the battery will be a little bit better, but any more ideas how I can get better battery life please
With my HOX, I found having brightness at 60% or less made the biggest impact. Also, disabling wifi when not needed made a huge difference. Decrease the time between auto syncs, and also check for wakelocks. Might have an app waking the phone a lot.
But I do understand where you are coming from. The battery life was killing me also, so I bought a Note 2 as a primary phone and now use the HOX as a music player for which it is outstanding haha
the first time the battery is always bad ._. just wait some days or so and it will be better...and look with betterbatterystats which wakelocks you have then you can see which apps might make the battery life also more worse...
Thank you very much I will try them, the battery seems to be a little bit better when I turned Google Now off

Pretty obvious, isn't it? Plus the Snapdragon S4 Krait has a better manufacturing process (I think 32nm) compared to Tegra 3's 40nm process, so it's more efficient and less power hungry.

Not true. Look at the RAZR Maxx. If Motorola can put such a huge battery in a thin phone, there's no reason other manufacturers can't. Also, it was definitely possible to put a bugger battery in the One X, but HTC just didn't do it. They instead released One X+ sometime later and claimed better battery life as a 'feature'. That's just wrong, and very similar Motorola releasing the RAZR, and then the RAZR Maxx soon after. The phone should have had that battery since the start. The only reason I can find with Motorola is that the RAZR is slightly thinner for those who want it that way. But the One X and One X+ have 0 design difference.

Just don't forget that the T3 is a pretty "old" chip, it needs a lot of power.
Nevertheless, I think the One X isn't that bad regarding battery life. It will drain quickly if you start gaming, but you should expect that. It's no gaming device, it's still a smartphone. Of course you can play your games every now and then but if you expect you can game with that thing for hours without getting it to heat up or charge it in the meantime, you put your money on the wrong device

Hi everyone,
My One X used to have brilliant battery life. I didn't turn on the screen that often throughout the day, but I was able to regularly check the news, send and receive texts, make a few calls and - crucially - keep my Wifi on for the entire day. With this setup, I was regularly getting 4 or 5 days of usage without having to charge my phone. However, as soon as JellyBean came along as an official update, I grabbed it... since then, I'm lucky if I get a day and a half out of it before I need to plug it into the wall.
I'm not running any custom ROMs: just whatever I get through official O2 OTA updates. Battery usage says that 36% of my drain is due to Android OS, with another 20% due to Maps. The rest are tiny, only 2 to 5%. Now I understand that a new version of Android might make some new demands on the hardware, but from what I heard, the update was supposed to improve battery life if anything. Even with the new Power Saver feature on, the difference is minimal, with only a few hours standby time gained overall.
Can anyone suggest anything to remedy this, or is this fairly normal? It's not world-ending and perhaps I was just really lucky to get 5 days of use in the first place, but thought I'd ask the experts before I grin and bear it. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
19 hours and 40 minutes into this usage cycle, I've got 57% remaining. So it's shaping up to be about 40 hours of usage, down from 120 at its peak. Right now, it's also saying that Android OS has used 99% of my battery... and nothing else is on the list.
Does no-one have any idea what's going on?
Did you make an hard reset when you updated your phone?
This is why when you upgrade your phone to a newer Android version it is better if you perform a hard reset

Thanks for this. Your suggestion got me checking for other people having issues with Google Now and battery life. I disabled it as you suggested and I'm definitely seeing an improvement. It's still not as good as it was, but I think I might be able to squeeze more than two days out of it now.
Do you have stock rom? Because I've just upgraded to JB yesterday and flashed a custom rom, and since then my battery is like 3 times more powerful.
You should definitely switch to a custom rom... Ever since I upgraded to JB I've seen a massive improvement in my battery life.. From barely making it through the day to almost 2days of my typical of usage.
Google Now does seem to kill battery as it polls the Google maps app a lot.. So I usually open task manager to make sure it isn't running in the morning background.

I have been stressing myself out about this for over a week, trying different things, buying new batteries trying new chargers, changing roms.
Turning so many things off basically making my phone into a dumbphone to try to figure out why my battery life is so bad. Could it be I just have a bad phone and need a new one??
I had a Galaxy S3 gave it to my GF, never turned any sync services off and I am able to get 20+ hours with that phone, this phone is HORRIBLE.
I was stock getting about 5 hours before dead battery (phone would get real warm- battery stats showing 33C+).
So I rooted and took it back to an LJC rom (4.1.1). Tried different modems, kernals, files tweaks with root explorer.
I bought BBS, a battery calibrator from the market and still cant see any problems that would do this?
last picture......
Should I just take it into Sprint and get a replacement???

Also try uninstalling and reinstalling facebook. My girlfriend's phone (GS3, not a note) went from 8 hours to probably 14 hours just by using the mobile web version of facebook instead of the the app. Facebook is atrocious at making apps.
But it really does sound like you got a lemon here, I'd get a replacement from Sprint. I don't think I could kill my battery in under 10 hours unless I was playing a game non-stop. My phone is completely stock.
I will uninstall Facebook, and test it out. Thanks!

OP. Your problem is not your ROM or anything else. Jeeze people.
Those partial wakelocks are PURELY from Google Now and the wifi/network based location. Either turn off Google Now, or turn off network-based-locating and those partial wakelocks will disappear....I'd also wager you have Sprint Connection Optimizer still running causing your phone to hangup trying to find a network conenction.

Based on your first pictures, your status bar, and the amount of awake time your phone is showing I'm guessing a couple of things. Do you have a phone signal where you spend most of your day? If my awake bar was solid like yours I wouldn't have a battery after 7 hours either. I would backup everything and do a full wipe / clean install and run the phone a day or so.

What of the borderline useless bells and whistles do you have enabled? I.e. face recognition/unlock, auto-brightness, SPen battery saver etc? Things like battery savers unsurprisingly don't help so i'd nix it as it is only wasting battery.

If my awake bar was solid like yours I wouldn't have a battery after 7 hours either. I would backup everything and do a full wipe / clean install and run the phone a day or so.

Meh. On this device I always aim for getting 10%/ battery usage per hour of screen-on-time on TouchWiz ROMs, and a fraction of a percent per hour in screen-off....something is burning battery here, and it is probably a system setting.

I am going to try that now, going to do a wipe of everything and not install anything except the battery tools.

What of the borderline useless bells and whistles do you have enabled? I.e. face recognition/unlock, auto-brightness, SPen battery saver etc? Things like battery savers unsurprisingly don't help so i'd nix it as it is only wasting battery.
No face recognition/unlock, auto brightness is enabled, but with that little screen time does it really matter? No SPen battery savor. Thanks for the suggestions.

The thing is, I have a Galaxy S3... The Note II is setup no different then that, settings or otherwise. I am trying all of these suggestions, but why did I not have to turn any of these off on my S3?? Same service area obviously. I took the Galaxy S3 off the charger last night at 100%. Put a new battery in the Note II so it was at 100%. Let them both sit on the counter for 1 hour. S3 had 98%, Note II was at 87%... No calls no texting, no screen time. It is so fustrating! I have had my fair share of battery tweaking with previous phones (HTC EVO, HTC hero). It seems something isn't right. I had problems with stock rom, that is why I rooted so quick, to try a different ROM.
If the wipe does not work I will try to get Sprint to get me a replacement, was hoping the get this figured out before I fly to Florida for a week. Good thing I have extra batteries.

I would get a replacement. You should not have to turn off all thr features to get decent battery that defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.

I recommend having Sprint check it out for you and then buying Ds battery saver pro!!!

Bought Ds Battery savor. Charged phone to 100% put it in airplane mode went to bed at 11pm (phone at 100%), woke up at 7am and it was at 8% Fail! 0 screen time, 0 talking, zero everything and lost charge in a little over 8 hours! Going to use it in florida the next week, with my extra batteries and most likely going to return when i get back
Thanks All for your suggestions!
Has anyone disabled samsung push service. If not does it drain battery I have had it disabled since I bought the phone because I never use samsung chaton or other aops **** that but I want to start to use Chaton but not if push services has a big affect on battery.
