Battery issues

[Mason Sodki]

I've used my Nexus 4 for about 1 1/2 weeks now and my charger always makes this weird noise ''tzz tzz tzz'' The battery life is pretty awful, does it get better after time? After a night of sleep about 30-40% might be gone. And when it's fully charged it only says ''Charged'' unlike my old Optimus 2X which said that I should plug out the charger does that mean that when it's fully charged it doesn't overcharge even when it's still plugged in?

Using the charger i got with the phone (Swedish Edition)

Charged means that it's at like 99% and won't charge to prevent overcharging. 30-40% might be a bit high, seeing that it is on standby but you didn't use it for a good 8 hours or so. Maybe the fact that your charger is swedish might have a problem compared to other countries chargers? DUnno

Sounds like something is wrong. If it were my phone, first, I'd try a different charger...most any other micro usb charger will work. If it still made the buzzing noise, I'd do a factory reset on the phone. If it still made the buzzing noise, I'd call Google and have it exchanged for a new device.

Thanks. I'll wait a bit and see if the battery's the same. Btw when i shake the phone i hear something like clinging inside as if it's loose, is that normal?

that noise is normal. It's the auto focus in the camera. Not to worry. The battery drain is odd though. Make sure you don't have things syncing like mad and also try turning off data and wifi at night.
