Battery drain super fast lately.

You don't need to pay to get an RMA?

You "kind of" have to pay. They charge your card (or at least get authorization for the charge) for the $350, and remove the charge after they get the defective unit back from you. Some don't like this process, but I think it's more than fair...they send you a new unit without you having to send your bad one in first, so that you are never without a phone. If they didn't secure payment first, I'm sure many would never mail the other phone back to them. It might be a bit of a hassle, but most companies make you mail a broken item in before they repair/replace it (like with a stereo/vacuum cleaner/hard drive/remote control/etc...).

Agreed. It's only fair, and I don't understand how there can be many people who can afford to get a smartphone but can't afford to be short $350 for a few days.

I noticed extreme battery drain after having it since December a factory reset did the trick. Before complaining why don't you give that a try as its probably an app on your phone you downloaded

Google Play Services keeps acting wonky on my Nexus recently. I dunno if it has to do with the kernel or something, but using CPU spy I saw that my phone would deep sleep usually >60% a day. I was getting 20hrs or better overall time and upwards of 3.5hrs on time. Now, out of nowhere its been acting up for me and my phone only deep sleeps between 30-50% of the time now. Barely made 10hrs the other day with just under 3hrs on. I'm using Franco kernel and milestone 1 was great to me for awhile but this Google services thing only seems to happen with this kernel, never with stock.

I am also observing the same issues since 2-3 days...
No apps are running in background and still the battery is discharging rapidly.
This is not the only issue I am facing ... even the phone becomes ... very hot..
very difficult to hold it...

They say every two charges let you battery go down to 1% then charge to 100. Should help

It's actually advised to not let your charge get below 20%-15%..

Mine's been the same. I've been putting it down to Ingressing in warm weather, but there's far too many Overheats for my liking. It doesn't help that 30% down to 5% can take only 10 minutes.

Via a cool AC App on a great Nexus 4

That's old school for batteries that aren't used anymore. Just charge it at the end of the day to 100%.
