I think it's obvious there are some serious flaws with 4.2, everyone has made that evident. I just wanted to ask you guys what kind of battery life you all are getting out of your N7 with the new 4.2 update?
EDIT: Im not so much worried about the battery life regarding 4.2, just battery life in general. Ive got everything turned waaay down and am only getting roughly 20 hours with moderatly heavy use. What do you guys get?

Same as 4.1.2 I believe. I can't tell a difference.

I actually haven't had any issues as of yet. Been running it only a week. I did update all the apps right away, which a lot of people that had problems related them to the apps.
Haven't had one force close and battery life has been right on par with 4.1.2.

So far mine has gotten better. I cant say for certain this is due to 4.2.1 however since I switched ROMS and Kernels to get it. But it certainly hasn't gotten worse!
Getting two days out of it which is perfectly fine with me. I get the same out of my Asus Transformer Infinity as well. Seems reasonable to me. What type of battery life were you expecting our need? Can't find a time to charge in a couple of days or something?
Ohh ive got the time. Was just curious as to what other users were getting. Guess i just expexted more battery life outta the N7. I usually get one solid day of use out of it, granted i do use the hell out of it and so does my girlfriend

I think that the batery life when you flash 4.2 is very badly.
I generally charge daily due to extremely heavy use, a few hours worth of gameplay while at work and use as my primary computer while at home. But I have went as much as 3 days with just light browsing here and there.

My battery life hasn't been that great when i was on 4.1.2 i lost like 1% over night now im losing like 15% even tho i just charge it up it seems thats its the Android os and google services thats killing the battery. I never had that much battery drain untill 4.2- 4.2.1
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've got to say mine's far improved... To be honest I've now set WIFI to off when in standby and screens always been down to 25%, so I'll get 2-3 days out of it with average use!
EVERYONES battery usage is going to vary... Wifi on during sleep with media syncing etc etc.... Is going to be much higher than me turning off wifi on sleep and not that much stuff running, etc...
My N7 is still at 100% if I take it off the charger at 9am and don't pick it up until 1-2 in the afternoon, which happens sometimes when I'm busy at work. There have been days that I didn't touch it all day at work and got home at 6pm and it's still at 100%.
In actual use (news, browsing, etc, not games) I see about 13-14% battery usage an hour, depends on the backlight. Games or movies, more like 16-17%.
And I've seen no obvious difference between 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.2.1, etc....
My battery life so far has been amazing.
I always make sure it is fully charged when I leave my home at 7am. I have syncing, wifi and gps always turned on. While traveling I watch videos most of the time (around 1 and a half hours video screen time in total). During the day while working I use my N7 for web browsing, social media, taking notes, agenda stuff, etc. Most of the time I'm home around 6pm. Then I have about 60-70% left. I'm using stock 4.2.1, no custom kernels, root or roms whatsoever right now. I could make 2 days with quite some heavy usage, which impresses me a lot.
Took a screenshot of the battery run time. This is what I'm getting with basic web surfing and watching YouTube.

Battery life has been good so far. I'm running a 3G Nexus 7, as said previously though it is all relative to what you're doing with your device.
12hrs of moderately heavy use for the OP, and he's complaining about batt life?
Isn't the batt on these things only rated for 10hrs anyways? Maybe I'm missing something here. Google states 10hrs for reading a book or browsing the web, and only 8hrs for 720p video.
OP - i'm sure your batt life went down, but you DO realize that you're already getting more than it's rated for, right? There's so many factors that go into determining batt life, that's it's impossible to give a realistic figure.
Who knows how many apps you have in background, your WiFi signal strength, brightness of display, etc.
My battery life had been crap since day one.

Light day today, off the charger at 9am, this screenshot taken at 6:10pm. Used for 30 minutes according to the screen on timer, about 20 minutes of that was doing something on a server in irssiconnectbot and the rest was probably "glance at the weather" or "next meeting" etc.
It was at 100% around 2pm ish when I was in a meeting using irssibot, it dropped 3 or so percent while I used it there. I've never noticed this, but if you look close under the graph, it appears to have an bar for device awake, although it's dark blue and thin.

Very good design on this extended battery
Alright!!!! So I last charged it this morning @ 830am...it is now about to be 8 so almost 12 hours now and its @ 50%!! So my usage consisted of checking emails, texting, facebooking, lil bit of checking xda, twitter, and a couple of very short calls so I would say my use was at moderate through out the day...I'm very happy with the extended battery!! I think I had done my normal streaming of Pandora or iheart radio (around 2 hours in the office) that it would still be going right now

I just received mine today. Then I hit a brainstorm. I popped it into the external battery charger and it started charging. So, I thought to myself - why not have 2? Added bonus - I'd have a spare back cover as well.
Et voila! I went back to VZW and ordered a second one today.
I'll be popping mine in late tonight and seeing how it goes in a non 4G area with WiFi on, GPS on, etc....
I'll probably try to condition the battery as well as I can also, draining it as far as it will let me the first time and then fully charging in the external charger. Same with the next one that comes in.
Nice I'm going to.go home and use my quick charger!!

I like the weight and feel of the phone with the extended battery. Feels a lot more like my Thunderbolt, which is what I am accustomed to.
Ugh....can't believe I missed it. I just got my phone yesterday, too.
This is my first run with the battery. Hour and a half GPS, gaming, phone calls, 2 hour Rdio streaming, hitting it pretty hard before I went to bed. Woke up and used it even more.

Dumb question for anyone using the extended battery. I got mine earlier in the week and it doesn't really seem to last any longer than the standard battery. Charged it all the way up and the most I can get out of it is about 8 hours. I don't really consider myself a heavy user either. Do you guys find that you have to run it all the way down and it last forever on 5% or does it just seem to overall last longer for you?
Thanks
Also received mine yesterday. Has been off the charger now for 12 hours. 2 of those hours were spent streaming slacker radio which I am doing right now still. Battery is at 40%. Also I have been browsing the internet, facebook, and xda all day. I am very impressed. I like the weight of the phone too. It feels solid and well built, kinda like you know your holding a powerful machine.
Edit:I also have had skype active in the background all day and 4g turned on.

Sounds like you may have an app or several apps that are constantly syncing in the background. I can go all day with the stock battery. When I used the extended battery, I went all day and had 50% left.

Thanks for the reply, I just did a factory reset and am gonna roll with that for the next day or so. If its not that I read somewhere else that there may be a batch of more power hungry phones. If this continues I will exchange it I guess.
I must say, this little thing is impressive... I've been hammering this thing all day! I expected 6-7 realistic hours.

I charged it once since purchase yesterday.. took about an hour and thirty.
mine has been crazy about 10 hours of nonstop usage as well I can barely put the thing down. Current charge is a bit lower cause I have been playing GTA 3 all day
I decided to use it right out of the box with 40% and it lasted 20 hours with moderate use I'd say. Played a couple games and streamed some music and a few emails. It's all charged up now, so I'll see how the battery is now!

Great battery life so far and yea it seems to take forever to charge up, then than apps syncing etc I left it alone for a while and it'd only charged like 30℅
Mine has been great as well. Been playing games and watching videos and browsing. I guess the real life tests they did were accurate when they rated it at 9 hours.

Make sure you're using the Asus charger that came with your N7 to charge it.
The Asus wall charger puts out 5v 2A - most other chargers are only outputting .5A
My first charge took forever using an old Moto charger I use for other devices.. once I plugged in the Asus it's down to less than 3 hours for a full charge.
so that means from zero (0%) to 100% fully charged how many hours of charging with the original charger?

Battery Life is Far Better than expected
My battery life has been exceptional, which surprised me. I saw a youtube video where the guy from Cnet said he was concerned about how fast the battery drained. I don't know if he had a defective unit, but I've been pushing it pretty hard. Downloading apps, watching youtube videos, checking emails constantly and browsing the internet.
I've even used super video and overskreen to browse and watch a video at the same time. Still it last at least 8-9 hours. When on a long car ride, about 6 hours of constant use... Got home and it was at just under 30% battery left. This N7 is a BEAST!
Great battery life here as well. Just watched 4 straight hours of movies streamed from my HTPC using Air Video Server and Mirage player while out of town. Flawless.

I enjoy being able to put the tablet down and picking up the next day without it having been on the charger and see it only went down from 92% to 82%..
Last tablet I had, even turned off, it wouldn't have enough power to turn on the next day.
I am at 77% with 1d 6h 9m 5s..
I could play hard all day, set it down late at night. Wake up in the morning and hop on. It has great battery life. About as good as my iP*d
To get 5 hours of screen on time I ran CyanogenMod (official nightlies) with Franco kernel. The first day I ran this I only got 3 hours of SOT but second day I got 5. I am amazed because my s3 only got 4 hours of SOT. I noticed auto brightness seemed to be draining some battery so I kept it fixed. And I was running 2g the whole time because I have no internet. I plugged in my phone for a second in my ps3 that's why my phone is being charged which it didn't even go up a percent.

Just curious, how do you guys actually achieve using the screen for 5 whole hours in any given day? I don't mean in terms of battery life but purely in terms of actually spending 5 hours using the phone. The most I've ever gotten was 3.5 hours and that was on a day I had literally nothing productive to do whatsoever. Is this a normal usage scenario for you guys or just heavy usage for the sake of comparing battery life with different kernels?

Use lte it performs better battery wise than 3g/HSPA+ since it's faster, so downloads are over quicker and this should lower the msm wake lock. Also I recommend the 27 radio, then others seem to have poor signal strength and speed.

I worder how many "battery threads" are they in this forum? and all the time the same nonsense.:silly:
I think I could get up to 6 hours of SOT if
1) I remove all apps excluding settings and a few more important apps for battery
2) disabling 3 cores and taking it to 300mhz when its undervolted
3) use no wifi/2g/3g
4) brightness at least
But this would make my phone completely useless and take me back to symbian days!

I'm the opposite. I had the S4 for a week and a half and traded it for the Active a couple of days ago. My battery life has been better than the original. I've got this phone set up the same as I did the s4 too. It probably just varies on what apps you have installed.

I had the S4 for a few days and I was worried because my battery would be drained in less than 8 hours. Coming from an S2 that I had to baby to get through the day I was worried. Ever since I exchanged the S4 for the Active I don't really worry about playing games, even for a couple hours, because it easily gets me through the day.
Disable the only big battery drain I had was maps constantly updating my location. I disabled that and run on power saver. I woke up at 6am this morning and its 7:30 now, I still have 59% left. I used to average 22 hours on my old captivate so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I realize that having a phone that out performs most PC's is going to munch some milliamps.
I'm rooted, debloated, and try to avoid constantly updating apps. I use better battery stats to "tune" my usage too.

I had the phone for a week, and after a few days my battery was draining like crazy (lost 90% overnight with everything off).
I went to the store and got a new battery...so far it's been amazing. I think my back cover may not have been 100% locked in to be honest, not sure if that would affect it or not.
I used to get between 4-5 hours on screen time. Stand by time doesn't mean much. I have noticed that the display is brighter so that could do it.
I also tried the battery from my S4 and same results.
My original battery is on charger. I am going to charge to full and completely drain it and check on screen time and report it.
After I recalibrated the battery it is looking great now. 1 hour on screen time only used 10% battery.
I will keep you posted.
The battery on my active is much better than on my regular s4. The standby time is actually good. My regular s4 always loses about 15% an hour in standby with nothing running.

Loving the battery life of my S4 Active, better than my Note 2 on Verizon with Beans.
Ive had the note since a day before launch and i havent been able to get more than three hours screen time out of it on auto brightness and simply texting or web browsing. It also has a lot of performance issues i cant figure out. Like severe animation lag when sending a hangout message, or huge keyboard typing delays.
Ive factory reset several times, and there arent any wakelocls. Standby time is great actually.

Simply saying you have a bad battery life without itentifying if you are rooted or not, without providing any information about your battery, without showing your wakelock is rather...not a good way to acquire help.
P.S simply rooting and installing xpose will not give you battery life
Mine has been great. On hyperdrive rom

Ive had the note since a day before launch and i havent been able to get more than three hours screen time out of it on auto brightness and simply texting or web browsing. It also has a lot of performance issues i cant figure out. Like severe animation lag when sending a hangout message, or huge keyboard typing delays.
Ive factory reset several times, and there arent any wakelocls. Standby time is great actually.

That's actually what i ended up doing. Too early to tell, but I'm at an hour screen time (mostly hangouts, web browsing, email) and at 72% battery. Hasn't seemed to help performance much. I have 5 pages of apps including all the stock stuff. I lost 10% battery listening to an audible book for an hour too which seems high.
My issue is charging via pc USB port. with stock rim it would charge fine full charge as normal and the same with note 3 I had custom rom and with stock no issue. But with custom rom same thing running same apps and only playing Google music on the background the battery doesn't charge as well as it did. Not sure if there is any tips out there about that but as mentioned the only difference is that this is a note 4 the others note 3 and even on this for stock rom battery charges well with USB pc output. This is normally at work while sitting down on my desk and connected to my pc. While listening to music on headphones.

Mine did the same, it actually lost more power than it could charge, it went away, I'm not sure what I did, but now it's just as good as my note 3
Thanks for the input I don't want to go back to stock since these roms are just to smooth running on skyfall now. I'll likely wait and test it out for a few more days. But mine currently does trickle charge but so slow. My worry is long trips. But overall battery life is good.

Yesterday I got 4 hours screen time with 10% left. Android OS taking up the vast amount of the battery. That is decent, but I was really expecting more in the 5-6 hour area, especially considering my light usage model. I dont play games, or watch videos on it.
