Lately, I noticed my battery has been dying much faster than normal. I got the phone maybe like 3 weeks ago, and it was lasting longer. I'm not sure if it's some app I downloaded or just the bad radios in 4.0.2 causing me to keep searching for signal, but it's definitely impacted how much I use my phone.
Anyone know what's going on? Or if theres some known issue with this?
Attached are some pictures of the running applications and the battery charts.
8.5hrs with 31% is pretty good to me.
You should look at my battery, 5hrs down to 16% (I have all active sync disabled, turned of 4G AND screen brightness only at like 5% for the entire time.)
*sigh*
If you look that is almost all standby time, which should be lasting way longer.
That's not horrible but you should look into what's waking up your phone so often.
Whats your screen-on time there? It looks like its really low.

It was at about 25 minutes of screen-on, but the keep-awake on the android OS was an hour. Could this be the culprit?

Well look at your "awake" bar. Something is consistently waking the phone. Just syncing email etc wouldn't keep it awake that long. Its another app.
Use something like "BetterBatteryStats" to monitor microscopically whats waking the device.
Thanks, I'll use that app and post results.
Another thing is I looked at the cell standby, and it told me that 25% of the time it did not have signal. Could searching for signal cause the intense battery usage?

yes, absolutely
90% of battery problems are either user installed app or radio related so far on the nexus thread

Looks like you had some times of bad signal based on your screenshots, but not the entire time.
Bottom line your phone should be idling much better than that. Granted I'm on GSM and not LTE, but when I turn off my screen and let it idle (i.e. forget to plug it in over night) the graph is almost flat. It will idle forever. Yours is not seeming to do that.
reboot..
I reboot my phone twice a week. It works really good.
Battery after a reboot and 9 hours standby. 96%
Without a reboot 70%
Big difference..

After much testing, I found out the anti-theft feature in Avast! is causing the massive battery drain. It prevents the phone from going to sleep.
Ow that sucks well out with that app, I use avg very good. Also I get an average battery usage of 3hours screen on time.
That's with most syncs on also wifi and GPS are always on.
Usually its bad apps that can't handle ics
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm also using Avast but I think my awake pattern fairly falls in line with the screen on pattern. Twice out of the 2 months I've owned my nexus the battery has drained really fast - normally I will get about 28 hours. Any ideas?
Yes you heard me right! I got a new battery for my arc and I am trying to charge it discharge it so it lasts longer before I go travelling tomorrow.
I currently have it set to everything on, and watching a .avi film on screen brightness max. anyone got a suggestion for something to run?
thanks
If your phone is rooted you can set the CPU governor to performance.
Use a torrent app and start downloading a Linux distro on 3g.
That'll kill your battery in a few hours

Try watching one of those ten hour videos on youtube?
Activate everything, max luminosity, download a big file with Wi-fi, launch google maps navigation to launch GPS in background and watch a long .avi movie with sound set at max.
Remove the battery and cross all the terminals

The quickest way to drain your battery is removing the battery and tossing it down the drain
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
use touch screen intensive
The quiqest way is to play a high demanding touch screen game (like fruit ninja or jewels star) with cpu set to performance. But what are you trying to do is not a solution, quik discharging your battery will not prolong your battery life, you have to let it to fully discharge slowly and then charget it again at low courent (USB port is excelent). If you force your battery to discharge faster, you can seriuosly damage your battery.

Cheers for your little condensing speech, the battery instructions actually recommend you charge/discharge 5 times from new to get it working fully and at its best. Not that stupid a question and yes pretty obvious batwingnz was joking...
@all thanks for your advice, leaving it on standby the whole day seems to do the trick.

Yes it say`s to discharge and charge 5 times, but not to discharge it as fast as you can... that is wrong. They actaly mean that after 5 full discharges and charges your battery will work as optimal ... that doesen`t mean you can overload the battery. If you do not want my advice it is your choice... but just for your knowledge i have finished a university and i`m working for 8 years now in field of electronics and automatizations....

who does that help other than your ego
unless maybe you enjoy wasting people's time, who will try to copy your setup after you tell them it's medium use. then they can't figure out why they can't get the same battery life only to eventually realize u were full of it. only to waste hours of other people's valuable time

7% screen usage is probably like 15-20 min of screen time over a day, how is that medium usage, please explain, either that or you have your brightness on 1 and are using your phone in the dark. either way its extremely misleading i don't see what you gain from any of this.

can you please explain to everyone the miracle of having medium usage when your screen and wifi are taking the same amount of battery consumption.
lmao rofl lololol
the graph on yours also says a lot, there are is not a single period where your battery drops off, this means your screen was not on for more than a few seconds at a time, you might think you can post battery stats and then lie about how you got them, but numbers and graphs don't lie, they say more than you think. the fact is the stats you posted are not even remotely good, and you lied about them to make them seem good. i'm going to try to run a cycle with similar usage to yours, i bet dollars to donuts that with 0 battery saving applications running on my phone i get 10 hours more than you at 30%, ill post it but it'll take a day or a few depending on if i can manage to leave my phone in standby that long rofl
and i'm not trying to win a contest i'm trying to actually help people who want to extend their battery life, not send them on a fools errand to install an unstable release of a rom that isn't even known for it's battery life. furthermore when i was trying to get more life out of my phone i ran into too many people that gave me horrible advice and wasted my time, i don't want to do that to other people. i've had this phone since it was released in canada, i've tried aftermarket batteries, battery saving apps, and listening to too many ppl who lie, only to learn how to properly read battery stat posts and that most if not all battery saving apps actually use more battery then they save by constantly polling the phone for information.
the real way to get more out of your battery is making sure your battery is working properly (calibrated and hasn't received any heat dmg)
running a bloat free rom and monitoring any extra apps to make sure they aren't waking up your phone when they shouldn't be or using more battery life then they should be to perform the task you got the app for. part of this is understanding which of the phones services you will never use, and removing system apps which are unneeded (using proper backup procedures and researching which apps can be safely removed)
running an efficient kernel.
using common sense when setting the multitude of customizable settings in apps and system of any android phone. things like setting email to sync realtime push or every minute, instead of every 10 minutes. (realtime push consumes about 30-50 times more battery then 10 minute sync)
using a reasonable brightness setting. The screen on this phone is amazing and is one of the features of the phone, but not only can this kill the battery fast when set too bright, the highest brightness settings are never needed unless in direct sunlight or a really bright day.
voltages / overclocking / underclocking while these settings often can help or hinder battery life, it's important to keep in mind what the phone is like stock. this cpu is fast duel core but already runs warmer than most, so although you can get more speed from overclocking i think most people don't need the speed, (talking about this phone in particular) but many do it anyways because people like to say my phone is overclocked. underclocking can be a battery saver and doesn't produce the same potential overheating risks. (an important note is that while overclocking might not do immediate damage to a cpu it can still limit the lifespan of the cpu if it is always running hotter that it should be. undervolting can help a little with battery life but some say can cause instability, i don't know enough about it to have an informed decision, but personally i don't worry too much about these. i'm running whatever the default settings are on mattmans liquidnitroV6
mobile data setting
especially for someone who doesn't use data often, or doesn't require larger amounts of data when using it, reducing this settings to 3G is a good option for saving battery, especialy if your phone is set to constantly look for an LTE connection when you don't live near an LTE network (i've heard rumors this is really bad for battery but haven't personally tested it to verify) for me, i leave my phone on gsm/cdma with cmda prefered. i never turn LTE on unless i'm in an LTE area and i want to watch streaming videos or something.
if you have a battery saver app that shows up on battery usage higher than 5%,uninstall it, personally i would say uninstall all of them, but i haven't tried all of them so i'm not going to pretend i know that every one of them is bad, but i've seen people that think a battery saving app is doing them a favor when it's pulling 10-20% of their battery life, i think i already mentioned this but it's the one that blows my mind the most.
I guess I'll post mine tonight when it dies, though my battery life seems to have gotten worse lately.
At this moment I am at 82% with it being off the charger for 3h25m. Screen-on time 26min. Some browsing & email along with some phone calls.
At that rate I should get 19hrs of normal use... BUT in order to get that I am running Green Power Premium, CPU Sleeper, Greenify and I used BuildProp Editor to make a few tweaks (see below). So, it is hardly running optimally.
This is with the CM10.1 2-21-13 nightly build and Wind 1.3 kernel. Governor = conservative, CPU set at 192/1728. I am running an eBay "2010mah" battery, but I honestly doubt it has much more capacity than the stock unit.
The build.prop tweaks I added:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
pm.sleep_mode=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

I would agree with this statement on some of my previous devices, however this phone seems to be horribly inefficient at radio communications, especially with CM10/CM10.1. I don't know if it's my firmware or what. I've been running the latest v20 from that thread with the compilations. I get dramatic increases in battery life using GPP or JDU, because the data radio seems to suck down power like a fatty with a Big Gulp.

Is it really necessary to call him a liar? Or call him about his ego? All for a 7% screen time. I don't get it.
Perhaps the purpose of this thread is, maybe, compare the stats using all other ROMS. If the one you are using has better battery up time, then, good for you. If you have one to share, post it. No arguments necessary.

THIS! Jeez, this thread is meant for sharing, that's all I intended.
Just discovered a bug in my current install of CM10.1... I lost the ability to snap screenshots... weird. I need to wipe/reflash anyway so no big deal.
Before I wipe, here are my stats from today's fairly steady use:
24% remaining; 9hr 21m on battery
Top 5 battery consumers:
25% - Voice Calls
22% - Screen
13% - Chrome
10% - Android OS
8% - Wifi
Screen on time: 1hr 33m 52s
Call time: 27m
Voice calls certainly plow through battery! Any way to reduce that?
here is an example of what i mean

see how if i sleep my phone as much as you, i get 12 hours out of 1/5th of my battery, that is like 100 hours on standby, if i did what you did at let it drain to 30% on 7-9% screen usage it would take 2-3 days for me to get there, all i was saying if your so keen on sharing and such, you would have been honest and said it was light usage, i was gonna let mine drain to 30% like this but i can't even stand not using my phone this much.
my frustration was because you seemed to be purposely misleading people
sorry not 100 hours around 60 is more accurate <-- edit

The Good News is That The Battery Is internal.So Get some Looks At This:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free...OR-LG-E960-E975-brand-battery/1303639873.html
Bigger capacity doesn't always mean better performance and battery life. I've read many opinions that custom batteries are in 99% of cases are worse than original even if they have 500 or more Mah than stock. So it would be great if someone shares his opinion about this model but I don't think anyone will want mess with opening phone etc.
Believe me or not, You'll never find a battery better that LG original one. LG 800 charge cycle itself makes a big difference.

as you wish. But I suggest you to do a factory reset and with a bit of simple settings you can have a battery as great as mine. I've had calls, text messages, wireless connection, taking about 50 photos in a party, sending over 100 megabytes via bluetooth, calculator and... with 63% of screen brightness. Eco mode was first off for a day and on after.

well, gaming and watching videos can easily drain the battery. This is true about every phone. considering the hardware, LGOG benefits from a OK battery. With similar specifications, Xperia ZR has a 2300 mah which doesn't make that much difference although it has a 0.1.5 inch smaller screen.
Yeah I would also like to have a better battery in this phone, I'm regularly killing the battery at the end of the day even though I charge it every night. Granted I work in a bad reception area which cranks up my radio and drains the battery, but still I think it should last the day...
If there is a third party battery that last longer I would love to know about it.

There can be but the one introduced here in the OP is not of high quality and may be dangerous for the device. Besides, it may not provide a better battery life. The best you could do is to request the mugen team to provide an alternative battery fo LGOG. They're really expert in their job.
