Hi
I have bought a nexus 7 4 months ago, but the battery discharges easily, will be worth changing the rom? Any big differences?
It might be some apps that suck down your battery. I experienced massive reduction of battery life after installing some angry birds game. After deleting it all went back to normal. So check your apps!

I tried that but I can't find any app "eating" so much battery.
Maybe the solution is a custom rom?!?
Which are the most trustworthy? Without keyloggers and malware and with a good performance...
Any suggestion ?
Maybe post a screenshot of betterbatterystats so all of us can see Also let's not make this a best rom thread.

It's not always immediately obvious what's doing the "eating". If you're rooted, why not try Greenify and selective-hibernate some of your social/syncing apps?

I am using go battery saver??Any one recommend any other??
Actually, There's no such thing called battery Saver I believe. The battery back up depends on your usage pattern. However you can try this app from Google Play.
It requires root though, many are saying this reduces the background battery consumption of apps by hibernation.
Greenify
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en
+1 for Greenify.
Just a note though, do not go crazy and hibernate absolutely everything like some people in the app thread seem to. Use something like Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector to identify badly behaved apps that hold wakelocks and hibernate them.
Everything else can and will be handled by Android's memory management

Exactly! Knowing about the bad behaved apps is the most important fact. Better Battery Stats can certainly do that. Once you know, you can control the battery issue easily. :good:

I chose Juice Defender Ultimate. With some customization, location managed Wifi and 30 minute period of 3g, my zperia Z runs about 2-3 days (no gaming). I recommend it!
Stick as close as possible to stock if you want decent battery life. I've used two custom ROMS on my Z so far but the battery drain was unbearable so I've come back to stock, with about 5 build.prop edits and that's it.

All my previous Xperias were heavily tweaked but the Z is a powerhouse as it is.

I've got the UK Unbranded ROM installed, as for the custom ROMs I used I'd prefer not to point them out so I don't get in to any arguments.

I dint use stock very long in order to tell you if battery better, but ussually stock comes with bloatware that constantly connect to the internet, thats why battery sucks with it.

I have upgraded my LG OPTIMUS BLACK to ICS and have noticed in the battery usage menu that Android itself is using 80% of my battery. As a result my battery won't last nowhere near a day.
I have no idea what I can do about this, and how to do it.
Any tips?
Thanks

Google for a chrome browser bug and disable tilt scrolling in developer settings in the browser, this already helps to improve it a little. Dont count to much on the system info concerning battery usage. Better root your phone and get better battery stats and see what s the cause.

Thanks for the answer! I have spoken with a few others who had the same prob and considering the downgrade to GB option. I'm going to try it since I don't think, based on my usage that ICS really makes a diff.
I'm going to try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
Im just stuck as to what roms I have to put!! Can't find em. If anybody can help on this...much appreciated.
Cheers Guys.

Does your wifi, data and brightness set to high? If yes this may be the cause of your battery drain. If you don't use it then better switch off the wifi and data and also reduce the brightness of the screen and this may help you to get your phones battery to last at least two days.
Thanks.
Thanks to everybody who answered to my queries. Thanks to NOOBY0815 as well because I pretty much solved all my probs with his nooby guide

Here is a great link for unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
I have been running the Android Revolution ROM since I got the phone with a few more mods through the Xposed Framework. I get excellent battery life (full day with heavy usage) and am able to do pretty much anything I want with the interface.
My battery life is a little under 8hrs this is because i watch movies while in transit play games, read books and such. But if i go low power with powersave mode and use my phone like a normal person i can go the whole day with my phone. I'm using Viper Rom 2.0 with Elemental X kernel clock at 1.9

Look in the Play Store for - Greenify, that will help extend you battery life if set up correctly, and it is quite simple to use
you could always enable the "battery save" option in settings

just checked, its about 2hrs30mins.
Guys i would like to share with you a good battery saving tip, I Downloaded 2 applications that made my phone get twice the battery i used to get.
Go ahead and download wakelock detector and greenify apps. Wakelock detector will help you identify which apps continuosly wake up your processor and this is what mainly keeps your phone from deep sleep which means continuos battery drain, once you identify these misbehaving apps you can either do 2 things:
1. Uninstall those apps
2. greenify those apps(root required). This is very useful because this app allows you to hibernate the activities of the apps you want to control. This gives you the chance to manipulate apps and free your phone from constant battery drain.
For me Facebook app is the worse and heavy battery drainer so i keep it greenified. Just by this i get around twice the battery i used to get.
I hope this helps, i know there are many of us that have complained about battery life in this phone. In my case the phone was not the problem but poorly designed apps.

Hey
Thanks for your effort to give us those tips but if you'd search you'd see that most people know about this.
And BetterBatteryStats is even better than Wakelock Detector

Hi guys,
I'm gonna get my phone brick after reading some threads talking about KNOXRAID 2.6 ROOM. My phone is having a really bad battery life and it cant stand a day. I am running JB samsung room stock and if guys have any ideas how to increase the battery life without changing room, please give me your advises. I have read a lot of threads and follow them but nothing changed. I appreciate what guys have done to me.
Note: My phone is rooted by Kingo method.
Thank you,

Install an app like wakelock detector, or better battery. They will tell you what's eating battery. You can then use an app like greenify to hibernate battery hog apps.

Does TB freeze worth to use in case of Greenify.

Freezing an app renders it useless until you defrost it. Greenify "hibernates" apps. This means it's put to sleep until you wake it by opening it.
Wow. I followed your instruction. Installed Greenify and it helped a little bit. I lost 1% per 5 minutes using Tapatalk to check the information. Is it normal ?

You can't measure battery changes in 5 minutes. You need to compare over hours/days if there is a change.
