can anyone tell me if the nexus 4 battery is just crap or if i have a bad one?

[dave9851]

Not sure if I should get s replacement. The battery life on this thing is the absolute worst I've ever seen. 15 minutes screen time and down to 80%. My one x would still be above 95% after 15 mins screen time. This is ridiculous.

And "Google services" is my top battery hog followed by screen. Not sure how to fix this.

There are several topics here about the battery life of the N4 and there are several suggestions on what to do to try and make it better. Look for those topics and see if it helps you.

It could be the calibration of the battery software wise just giving the allusion its bad, should time it from full to dead.
It also depends on what your running, eg if max brightness, HD movie on loop, wifi on etc... you can expect the battery to be chewed through

The nexus 4 has a 2100 MHz battery, which isn't that impressive. After about 3-4 hours of screen time, you'll probably run out of battery meaning your battery might be faulty. Unless you were playing a high end game and/or your brightness is all the way up

Awesome! Thanks bro!

3-4 hours of screen time is not horrible. That is like spending 25% of your day looking at your phone.

Lots of people don't get 4 hours of on screen time on either of those devices.

Really? Well a lot of reviews said the iPhone battery is amazing while the S3 is just a tad better
