Best battery life ever! - Nexus 4 General

So, I got a day off today and spent my day reading and browsing some company crap. Wifi was on all day. Below are some screens of this. My nexus 4 is the 212k before anyone asks.

What rom kernel combo you using? Screen brightness all the way down?

I had it all the way down for about half the time(indoors) and auto for the rest. Stock ROM with Matr1x 8.5. Airplane mode was on though(only for GSM signals, didn't want any calls on my day off, so I used viber for who I wanted to talk to)

46% left. Using pacman with faux kernel. Wifi on the whole day

Battery question.

Does the screen really eat up that much battery? I do keep my screen on a lot from texting to social networks. Would a deferent kernel possible ease the screen usage or is that how much power the screen consumes with a pretty good amount of usage?

Yes ,
I turn auto off and run it about a 1/3 of the way and in the dark I turn it even Lower sometimes and the batt seems ok ,
If I was constantly doing stuff on the phone at that rate I get a good 3-3 1/2 hr and Im talking actually sitting with the phone on and doing constant stuff for that long .
Thanks for asking - I find that my display battery usage is just as high!
I'll have to try the auto off. Auto dim doesn't seem to work that good. I guess ill experiment after work with a different kernel and see if its any better this morning. Thanks for confirming

OK I fixed it lol. I tried the new Pegasus rom with the stockish kernel. Amazing! I recommend it.

Yea, I'm getting like 14-17 hours off of one charge. On De-Sensed it was like 8 hours.

Definitely getting great battery on the Pegasus ROM. I've found turning off you data when not using it effectively doubles my battery life. But then again I'm in an LTE area so that burns it up like you wouldn't believe when it's on and being used.

I don't have lte in my area. I'm going on 1 day and 1 hour with this rom. VERY pleased!

Which is the best kernel !!!!!! POLL

I make this thread so that we can find the best kernel for nexus 4 and also the difference between the franco , trinity, and matrix and motley kernel.
So post ur experience and also share screen shot for battery like battery screen ,graph and screen time.
In this way we can also help the developers to build their kernel more good...

Lol at stock. It would have to be faux since he's done so many one of a kind enhancements
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm on stock, but where's the actual poll?
I m using franco kernel r85 so its gud....with underclocking and undervolting i got 1:30 and device runing for 5hr 20mins scree time and battery is at 74%....
I will upload the screens ones i reach 5% juice....

These threads are frowned upon here at XDA for numerous reasons: there's no real answer, they turn into pissing matches and trolling, and this is actually the worst way to find the "best" kernel.
The one and only way to find what's "best" is for you personally to read and take the time to flash kernels and use them for several days under various real-world scenarios. Then and only then can you know.

Battery life is incredible. Post your results here.

This is with screen on full brightness, moderate use, all sensors, sync enabled, and on mobile data. Leaps and bounds over E4GT.
Edit: battery is at 57% still

What's your screen time?
My battery life actually hasn't been that great, almost equal to my S3 if not worse :/

3hrs 13mins. About 30 minutes of that was using the camera.

Agreed. Mine has blown my E4GT away in battery life, and I haven't even been using the little tricks like turning data off when I'm at work yet.
I normally would have to plug mine in by noon after being unplugged since 7am. And that was screen halfway dimmed and barely any use

I agree. Compared to my 3D, AMAZING. Walked out of work at 6PM, it had just dropped below 60% and my 3D would get to that point by 11:30AM.

I'm consistently getting 5 hours of screen time, which I'm pretty happy with. Haven't ever ran it all the way to zero, so could probably get a little more.

All phones have ****ty battery life when you're hacking and popping bursters everywhere. But my GS4 has done the best so far!
I'm excited to see it. I'll leave my house with a full charge, and streaming radio over 3G to my bluetooth headset for 2 hours and browsing the web for 20 minutes knocks my Evo 3D down to 30%.

How?? I only get 4 hrs of screen on time when I have wifi on, power saving mode on, and have brightness at the bare minimum.. Did you 5 hr screen timers do something else to your device like disable sprint bloatware or something?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
Not doing anything special here. Haven't removed any bloat yet, not using power saving mode, using auto brightness.
Maybe I just have a strong signal. Weak signal can cause the radio to ramp up power and chew up a lot of battery...

This. Turning data off when I'm at work (in a thick building) makes a ton of difference.

Will try especially since I have wifi access at work. But yes, I do have a not so great data connection in my area with sprint.

Does killing the data make it impossible to send SMS?
My battery sucked till I installed Greenify, and Juice Defender

Battery really depends on what you do on your phone. A good Rom with a good Kernel can improve the battery life by a lot. I have PA and Franco, the battery is good enough for me.
I've got about 12 hrs of battery life and 3.5 hrs of SOT with 3G (no wifi). My phone is rooted with franco kernel used. Previously, on stock, my SOT has never reached that stat. I've got emails synced but gps off during the time.
Btw, there's a good thread for you to read for more info about Nexus 4 battery life at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992627

Am I the only one who thinks he's using us as some kind of focus group for said companies? Like when some a- hole with a clipboard walks up to you in the mall and asks if you're happy with your current toilet paper to try and sell you different toilet paper?

What is? If you are referring to battery life, it's quite evident that you have charged the phone in the middle.
I usually have 40 % after one full day..
my first smart phone post
You mean show the battery life, or last 21 hours after a charge in the middle?

Omg what I don't understand is why in the world would you need... Adult supervision for bubbles =__=? But that cotton glove got me good.
Also to the OP, BUSTED. You charged it in between as you can see the graph goes / instead of the usual decline. Lol
