    -------Nexus 4 Battery Life (Horrible, Major drainage!)-------

    This is insane. My Nexus would go nowhere near this territory. 3.5 was the absolute max I could achieve before it died. And you're completely right about the battery management. With my iPhone I can just naturally use my phone without having to monitor its use and I know I'll finish the day with...

    -------Nexus 4 Battery Life (Horrible, Major drainage!)-------

    Not gonna go through that hassle of shipping it then waiting to get a new one and then that battery sucks too. Why should I? I paid hard earned money for a device, it should work the FIRST time I obtain it. I tried with the Galaxy S3 (battery sucked, I returned it) then I got the Nexus 4 (same...

    I did end up selling my Nexus 4. I couldn't deal with 3 hours of screen time and the phone not lasting past 7 pm. I know it's off topic but I bought an iPhone 5 and couldn't be happier. Easily get 6-7 hours of screen time on HSPA+ and today I got 8.5 on Wi-Fi. My Nexus 4 will be missed though.

    Nah that phone is too big haha s3 was as big a phone I'll go. And I like having updates as soon as they're released not having to wait months. A major reason I returned my s3 for the nexus 4. But I did sell my nexus 4. I'm shipping it out on Monday. I expected a lot more from the battery...

    I completely agree. It's stupid that you have to turn off all of your features but unfortunately that's the only way to get good battery. I have location settings off, sync off, vibrate on keypress off , Google voice recognition off, NFC off, brightness at 15 percent . And I can only get around...

    It's not an absolutely TERRIBLE battery. But I was honestly expecting so much more and the drainage is unacceptable. If you are happy with 3 hour screen time, then you'll be glad you got it. I was expecting 5+. But there have been some people posting some amazing stats on this thread so...

    EXACTLY. It's so stupid because I bought the phone for all of these great features but what's the point if you have to turn them all off! I feel like the phone should get the great battery life right out of the box. When you turn it on for the first time you shouldn't have to change or turn...

    Dude reduce the screen brightness to about 10. That's what does the trick. And do you have GPS on?

    Any ideas why it drains the way I described?

    -------Nexus 4 Battery Life (Horrible, Major drainage!)-------

    This was from yesterday (Nov 28) . Unplugged it at around 10 am. Still not where I'd like it to be, but much better than my first post. What made the difference was changing auto-brightness to about 10%. That helped A LOT. But guys I'm telling you, this thing could be so much better. And this...

    3G. Rarely do I use wi fi. Yesterday I saw huge improvement. I'll post the screen shots as soon as I get home.
