If you're familiar with Game Center on iOS, it's pretty much the Android version of that, as far as I know.
The best part is that it seems that app data syncs through the cloud
More battery draining stuff to turn off, same as Google now.
Possibly dumbest quote of the day, Google Now pulls little to no battery, and this will be the same, don't blame random apps for your personal Android issues

Hi just passing through looking at other forums. You're really wrong, Google now does little to nothing to your battery. Leaving GPS and other such things is what drains the battery. Like what the gentlemen said above us with the high amount of thanks said. You're responsible for what happens to your battery.

Leaving GPS on does nothing to the battery. It only affects battery if an app is using it. Google Now does impact battery life, like it or not. It has a location reporter that's been proven to drain battery, and think about it. It constantly has up to date data, so it has to use battery to be refreshing it so much.

Well a lot of IOS users are convinced judging by the recent headlines. I don't buy googles claims either, unless it uses magic pixie fairy dust for power, there's definate drain on the battery.
I'll keep all the crap turned off and enjoy my 6 hours sot thanks
I'm dead. Lol Google now is the main reason why my battery dies. Not having GPS on, not playing emulators all day, not having NFC on, not having a long screen time, not using my camera to take picture, not other things. Its Google now. Better leave a obscene comment on the play store.
[Edit]
You literally spend like 20 seconds on the app searching for whatever. How does that impact your battery? Like I said I'm dead.

I think it is because it regularly checks for your location even it is just using WiFi/Mobile Network location it seems to clearly drain my battery. Unless if you disable Location Access to Google services then maybe it won't drain so much that we all complains.

Do you understand the process of constant location updating and pushing and pulling data? That kind of stuff holds a wakelock and wakes the device up from sleep to fetch data. That uses battery. Period. Its not just a simple searching app.

Hi,
I had V10F now im at V10H (same problem)
My battery life decreasing literally by the minute, when I hold the phone with nothing running, just looking at the screen I get 1% battery decrease in about every 2-3 minutes.
I got the phone with V10F and now upgraded to H and did Factory reset, nothing changed.
Is this a common bug?
Thanks
Install better battery stats and check what is draining ur battery. And it ain't sounds like a bad battery. But better battery stats should help u determine what is causing the issue.

It started on the 10F for me, I got the phone with it.
Whats the best app to see which apps takes the most battery?
I think it was a mistake to sell my Galaxy Note for X4, I never had such serious battery issues and I always assumed that in regular non gaming, non multimedia use the tegra3 will use the 5th LP core.
what a disappointment.
Now It stopped connecting to WiFi N networks for some reason

Hi Dante501: I have Better Battery Stats installed on my mobile. I am able to check the battery loss since unplugged, boot, etc.
However, BBS app does not show the name of app that took maximum battery, etc. The other app sugggested on XDA Easy Battery Saver does show the detailed information. EBS has some in-mobile advts which I clicked quite often and get charged for some useless services. I have unisntalled and have only BBS.
Is there some other apps that gives the details as to which app too how much percentage, and so on. That will be very useful. Thanks in advance for your suggestions/info.

Im not sure its possible, after I updated the ROM I did factory reset and format
Well unless its one of the Lg apps.
Im going to use the guide and disable all of them
Any ideas what can affect wifi? I mean if it connects to G but not N its not broken rihgt?
P.S. I also noticed that X4 has no WiFiN 5Hz support, when I used Note it always found my 5Ghz SSID and I was able to connect.
X4 wont even find it, it finds 2.4Ghz N but trys to connect and then nothing.
was working fine 2 days ago. with occasional issues, I had to off/on the wifi before It could connect to N network.
Now it wont connect at all.

I don't know what you guys are doing with the phone but, mine last for more than two days last time I need to charge it, using GPS for 45min.+/-, normal calls 30min.+/- and about 45min. total in the internet (checking emails, facebook, playstore and xda app).
Today I almost didn't use it, only one call, about 5 min., I play a race in NFS, around 5min., check the playstore for news and updates 10min.,
and I have 80% of charge...
I'm on v10h and I don't see any or a big difference between one and the other.

You gotta remember our phones are pretty much tiny laptops. Laptops only have about 4-6 hour battery life's...sure they're a lot bigger so they consume more power...but they also have a much larger battery...so when you scale it down to vivid size, battery life is on par with what a laptop would be

Airplane mode (I dont care what anyone says) has ALWAYS killed my battery. Try not using it... Might help. I get about 8-12 hour days on my phone and i use it constantly. using data and syncing and playing games... Just gotta set your phone up right
I could always average 12-15 hours with average use. That would consist of snapchatting, temple run, and twitter, I don't know how you would only get 4 hours...

I think the app that got me there was Lux. It's a smart-dimming app that adjusts your screen brightness. You can also set what % you want your screen at for certain background light levels. I really like it.
Anyway, can't think of anything else I did to get that result. Much much much better than the One X.

With me on stock kernel, if I'm just browsing around XDA or the internet I'll get around 8 hours screen on time (at least from how long it seems. I haven't confirmed and actual length of time so it could be less or more). Whereas if I'm playing Shadowgun Deadzone constantly, I can still get around 5 hours screen on time with 4 hours constant play of it.
If I remember, I'll get some actual proof of my stats over the next few days.
Dont worry about it. Even I get about 4 hours only. This is with 25% backlight indoors and 75% outdoors and heavy regular use. We dont have wifi calling or anything like that here. It is on 3G HSPA+ network and I get just above 4 hours of on screen time till battery goes below 10%. Lot of people disable lots of stuff like automatic syncing and turn the brightness all the way down. I dont do any of that. My gmail, twitter, drive, G+, Pulse, Hangout are all running in background syncing and doing their stuff (the only thing I have done is to tell G+ to upload only on wifi ).
7hrs screen time is easily achievable on this phone with 12hrs + uptime.
Theres a dedicated thread on this already if u wanna go read how guys are setting their phones for this.
My use is as follows to get 7hrs...
*Wifi only browsing (no mobile data)
*Auto brightness during the day and low at night.
*Eliminate as much wakelocks as possible by not using auto syncs in apps etc.
*I'm rooted so i use "Greenify" to make sure apps go into hibernation after I close them.
*I use Titanium backup to freeze bloat ware I don't use.
Apps such as Skype, Facebook, Viber etc etc are Known drainers so keep an eye on them if u use them.
There prob more that I can't think if right now but with the above set up, you will easily get between 5-8 hours screen on time.

Mine is considerably worse now. I went into pizza hut tonight with 100% battery. We were in there like an hour and a half and when I checked my phone when leaving it was at 88%. It was in my pocket the entire time.
As I'm typing this I'm at 64% with 4hrs and 3 minutes of very light usage. 1 hr of screen on time...
These posts are just silly and unnecessary. The two of you above me? Our phones are setup completely different, with different apps, syncs, settings, etc.
How long has kitkat been out? Give it a few days. Posts like this pop up with EVERY single android update since android has been around.
My battery life is great - as always.

I have never had any issues with my phones having battery struggle and this is my 5th android phone. That is why I posted the question because it was very bizarre for me not to have great battery life. I was simply asking the question to see if anything has been said about an update or some type of fix other than the typical "battery saving" answers

Have you guys turned off wifi scanning always available? I know that obliterates my N5s battery.

Make sure Google Play Services is updated. Rumors were that there was a bug in the release version causing battery drain.
Give it a few days and then see. I never turn off WiFi or GPS
