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.

I am having similar issues (Jellybean Vicious Jellybean4.1.1 AOSP, faux kernal). I can literally see the battery percentage go down a percent every 30 seconds or so when i am using my phone / surfing web / streaming music.
Cant post in the main forum now - any suggestions would be appreciated.

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.

My N7 running JB gets great battery life, but the GNex on JB is crap when it comes to battery. I'm often out of battery by 3-4pm in the afternoon.

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

Took my OGP off the Qi wireless charger at 9:00am at 100% charge. I did not use it at all. Checked email at 11:30am battery said 100%. What? Did not use phone at all, was at a party. Checked email at 5:30pm battery at 97%. Wow. Checked news and some videos. Checked phone again at 8:00pm battery at 92%, played some videos, checked some websites and weather then put phone down. Went to bed at 2am. Went to put phone on wireless charger. Battery was at 82%.
All I did was do the hack to turn off High temperature property and Thermal mitigation daemon. Then I went into the battery setting and turned on Quad Core Control. Screen brightness is set to 100%.
Amazing battery life. Just amazing. My S4 would go to 99% immediately after unplugging from the charger.
Yeah, Baby!
Idle battery life is proven amazing
- 9:30am - Took phone off the charger at checked email and news- 100%
- 11:30am - Looked at phone and checked email at - 100%
- 3:30pm - Looked at phone and checked email - 100%.
- 3:50pm - after watching videos and playing with phone for 20 minutes - 94%.
I'm in shock.
How did you do this? Kindly share.

I've also noticed if you take it off the charger immediately after it says it's done charging, the battery will only last you about 10 hours, but if you leave it on after it's done for a few hours it can last you a billion years
I don't have any quad core cpu option in my F 240k battery settings

Coming from the S3, I'm really impressed with the battery!
I read several reviews that said "the battery is not that great".... I took my phone off the charger at 6:15am, it's now 11:20am (just over 5 hours) and I'm at 93%. With my S3, I would have been in the lower 80% by now, heck I would have been at about 93% by the time I got to work (40 minute drive). And I've been using it too... 2 push email accounts, several text, 2 or 3 calls, weather updates, ect... Standby time is just really amazing on this phone!
I could easily go almost 2 days with moderate use.... My S3 was ready for a charge in 12 hours with the same amount of use.

Well having this phone for 5 days coming from a GNoteII (alliance rom) and this phones battery doesn't last quite as long. Stand by with all connectivity off isn't nearly as good either. I'm still giving it time and waiting for my external battery charger so I can slow charge it and determine from there.

I was having issues when I first got my OGP with battery brain. Called LG did a soft reset and it improved my Battery life drastically...
Sofy reset=pull battery out while phone is on,leave out for 3-5minutes replace battery. Then run a couple battery cycles... 100% charge down to 15% or so ..my Battery life is great now, oh and give Greenify a look in the play store its a great app for extending battery life.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
When I leave for work it's at 100%. I txt a few people and sometimes send out some picture texts. I'm constantly on Google+, Facebook, YouTube, and Flipboard during my breaks, lunch, and whenever else I can sneak off. :angel: By the time I leave work my phone is typically around 50 - 70% and once I get in my car I always plug it in to charge. I've noticed it charges faster than my old HTC One X+. Another thing I noticed is when I have it plugged in while using Waze navigation and sometimes the music player, the charge will stay at a constant. It won't go up or down. My HTC One X+ would always drain the battery using Waze even plugged in to the charger at about 10 - 15% per hour. I wasn't a big fan of that and always had me worried if I went on road trips and I drive A LOT. I put almost 30k miles on my VW Passat the first year I got her Overall I'm loving the battery life on my G Pro :good:

Couldn't agree more but I was just stating what I went from. Hopefully the development picks up around here.
I am also coming from a NOTE 2, after owning both I will say that MY battery life is better with this than the note 2 at 100 % screen brightness. 2 days on my last OGP before I Cracked the screen. But I will also say that leaving it on the charger after getting to 100 percent does help with it staying at 100 for a lot longer. this new OGP is shaping up to be the same way. Really great battery while watching video's listen to music stream from Rhapsody and Youtube. I even lost some service due to being on T-Mobile( don't live in a refarmed area) and I still will not go back to the Note 2.
Is this good /bad/ugly?
Frankly expected a bit more
Everything on including mobile data, wifi and screen at 42%
Most use was on mobile data (..70%)

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.

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.

ok i will try it currently i flashed the 4.1.2 and flashing a custom kernel for battery saving i will post result soon. and I'm also having slow charging issue like my cell charged to full in 5-6 hours.
My girlfriend has a GS3 love the phone but it has a serious battery drain. It doesn't matter if its a stock or custom rom. It is running stock 4.3 right now and the battery has gone from 100 to 83 in 3 hours. with 30 min screen time. I thought it was the battery so i got another Samsung battery and its not ant better. I tried to search but it seem the search funtion is not working because it gives me nothing no matter what I search for. Any sugestions would be great.

try a different charger or port
2nd updating from 4.3 from 4.1.2 has a big change to the phone how it works etc and by that the phone takes time to adjust to 4.3 thus getting bad battery drains, a week or two or a month and the battery will be as good as ever

Get battery saver or juice defender this are two apps I have used to monitor my battery usage and they recommend to charge the phone to 100% and that will change as to how fast your battery dies
Letting the phone die and charging results to bad battery life while recharging phone at a timely manner increases battery life
Also note that GPS/WiFi/data/screen drains battery like crazy so fix those and you will notice a big difference
How long you guys charge Tab S until fully charged? is it normal if my tab S fully charged only 1hour and half.. It suprises me cause Ive never have tab that can charged this fast. Im afraid my Tab have battery problem.

Batteries of this type usually take about a week to reach optimal condition.

i noticed this on my tab 8.4LTE too, the battery simply drains away, almost close to rendering the tablet useless as I use this as my primary phone. tried playing online games and 30 mins later, it ate 40% of the battery (no unusual warm ups) i had this tab for almost a week now and it's still the same. i'm getting worried that i have battery issues

same as me. I also use the LTE ver. It drains really quick which makes me feel like buying a cheap tablet. It only can stand for 2hours plus for heavy user. The screen is really beautiful but have to lower the brightness to save battery. such a waste.

I have a friend here with a tab similar to ours but his battery life is superb. 5% drain /30mins on wifi. Mine dropped 3% asI type this lol. Could it be because we rooted our device?

I dont think its because of root, cause I didn't root my tab yet. does ur friend have lte version also? I also trying to use my tab only with wifi on and sim on (data off) still the same result.

I was getting worried as well. Every time I've used it for anything other than movies my battery percentage has dropped like an aerodynamic rock. Browsing, games, magazines, etc. Movies (assuming because of the typically large amount of black pixels) look fantastic and the battery does quite with them, but for everyday consumption it left me concerned.
An hour ago I asked Amazon for an exchange which they did no questions asked. Perhaps round 2 will fare better. If not, I'll shed a tear as I give up this amazing display for another device altogether.

Yes. Lte version as well. I noticed that when he do wifi file transfers and other stuffs. Batt will drain as well.
I want a heads on comparison with his tab but it's hard since we use the tab differently. This is my primary phone while his is for browsing only. Tomorrow. I'll try to transfer s huge file via wifi and see if we'll have the similar percentage of battery drain. I already did the calibration as advised from another thread and it seems to work. A few more charge cycle might do the trick.

My tab takes around 12 hours to be fully charged from ard 5%.
Is this normal?
Maybe I have a battery problem too.

Same for me.... It takes forever to fully charge it (10,5 in)
I use a 10.5 LTE and it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I recommend to switch it off while charging because when it's on you loose about 500mAh (also if the screen is off) and with a 2Ah charger if the battery sees (optimistically) 1.5Ah it takes 5h 20' plus the time required by the slow charge when it reaches 85-90%, so more than 6h.
Anyway I charge it every time I can when it goes under 50%, it's a big battery and needs a special care. Nothing to say about batterylife, excellent.
Most tablets/phones fast charge to 80% and then slow down for the last 20% , so if you don't need a full charge just grab it after it goes past 80% , your battery will live longer as well, as the closer you charge to 100% the more damage is done to your battery, it`s very small but it adds up.
Have a read of the link below, if you want to make the battery in your tablet live longer, if you have the money to easily replace it then don't worry, charge away
