Getting great battery life with gnex finally.

[Jung136]

Wow. Sounds like someone has a battery challenged Nex. Are you rooted? You could try the things that were mentioned earlier in this thread.

Nope, not rooted (i'm too lazy to factory reset and go through all the complicated steps.. i'll wait for a 1 click rooting kit) I'm going to get an extended battery tomorrow to see if it helps but my trip to Vegas with this phone was a NIGHTMARE trying to find power outlets.. i disabled G+ too but my Android OS usage surges through the roof at around 40%

Its really not complicated. Especially after coming from a D1.

If it doesn't improve you should send it back for a replacement.

Does the extended battery fit with the black silicone case?

Yes, it seems to fit with silicone cases.

Also, my first Nexus was like that too (4-8hrs), so I returned it for a new one and now it's great.

I downloaded a toggle app to switch off my 4G, now I am getting a full day on one charge. I figured when I need 4g then I will toggle it on for that minute.

How are you resetting battery stats?

 

[mercm3]

I used an app called batterycalibration, I think you have to be rooted to use it.

Can't you just use Clockwork wipe stats? is the process:
Drain to near zero, recharge to 100%, then wipe?

 

[mercm3]

Yes you can reset via clockwork mod. The batterycalibration is just alot easier and saves you from some restarts.

I use a mobile data and wifi toggle from Elixr 2, but I've had no luck finding a 4G LTE toggle widget or app. Which one did you use?

What is the name of the app that you used?

Try Juice Defender - has more than doubled my battery life

After the first few days with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, I was seeing 5-6 hours of battery life. I was seriously considering returning the phone, or at least exchanging it for another one thinking I might have a faulty unit. In my attempt to try anything and everything to improve the battery life, I installed and enabled the free version of Juice Defender. My battery is now lasting 15-20 hours with my 'normal' use which does consist of around 2-3 hours of screen on time. A normal day for me includes reading RSS feeds, web browsing, Facebook, Twitter, texting, email and more. I don't stream a lot of video or anything like that, that would of course kill the battery much quicker. Anyway, with 15-20 hours, I can usually expect to do just fine as I'm never too far from a charger, but 5-6 hours was unmanageable for me.
