Yep same here. Obviously I turn stuff of that I never use but the best thing for battery life is I always make sure to charge my phone before doing something where I will be gone for hours. If we are traveling I charge it. Going to a football game I charge it. Its not very hard to throw your phone on the charger for 1 hour before u go out at night or on a trip or whatever. That way u don't leave yourself phone less and stranded. I wouldnt expect any phone to last me personally multiple days.

Then I might as well just get a brick that makes calls

No, No you can't make calls because it drains battery. Bring change and use pay phones.

Getting great life, 73% after 5 hours and 20 mins, keep screen brightness low and make sure you understand the sync settings on your apps. Getting about the same life from my S3, but N4 seems to be a little better. Why have a smart phone off you are going to turn everything off?

For those of you still having battery trouble, try Franco's kernel. You have a nexus-unlock that thing!

After one day and 20hrs with two hours screen time and many hours of using XM, I just now put it on a charger at 18%. Very happy!
2 days 8 hour 52 min standby
2 hr 30 min screen time
with 3% remaining.
very very happy
First day of use. Been fiddling with it all day. Really pleased with this tbh, considering the screen time!

I have to say battery is pretty damn good on this phone. I always use a live wallpaper (usually one of the galaxies from maxeus?), usually have on tmobile 42mbps data (switch to wifi at home sometimes), I have google now on (took off the card that pops up when you are going to work or are suppose to come home from work because it is useless for me and because it drained battery due to it requesting gps access), I leave gps off unless I am using google maps for turn by turn car nav (no need to have super exact gps on all the time).
Bluetooth I almost always keep it off. NFC I always keep on (use it a lot). I edited all the account syncing options (GMAIL, currents, etc) to where I like em and I keep brightness almost all the way down indoors (more than bright enough for me) and outside in the sun I jack up the screen full blast so I can see whats going on.
With that kind of set up my battery lasts a long time. I don't have haptic feedback on because i have no need to feel my phone vibrate all the time. Its kinda annoying.
I suggest everyone customize and manage their phone so that way your device works the way you want it to. Just leaving everything on is stupid.
Do you guys leave your heat blasting, your ac on, all your lights in every room on, your shower on, your sink faucets on and your windows and doors unlocked and open because you can't be bothered? Is that efficient? Is that fun? No it makes no sense. Especially in an era where we all should be striving to be green and as efficient as possible.

Still 1 said before his stock.
Battery I am finding is great, \obviously disabling/reenabling features i use.
uninstalled the snapdragon app as it served really no need to me.
The big killer is games for me, but then again when i am playing Need for Speed MW, i plug it in as the gfx kills my battery - probably gives the quad cores a real work out!

Why are there so many similar threads about bad battery life?
Take a look at my guide for fixing battery draining issues (it's written in Norwegian, but it's translated to English through Google Translate - bad translation but understandable):
