Battery drains fast!

[dezymond]

Last night I unplugged before bed. 100% to 85% after of 9.5 hrs being idle. Not bad...

What concerns me about this is that Android OS is at 50%, mine went to 45% the other night. Wondering why Android OS would draw higher percentage than Phone Idle....

I asked this in the other bat thread to no reply


does this issue look to be fixed by software? I really want this phone and plan to ge tit in feb, but if this isn't an issue rooting or an update can't fix I may just keep my tb

Yes it's software that can be tweaked or fixed.

That's a relief. I figured if I could get 2 full days out of my thunderbolt, theres no way the GN would be that far gone

there is a bug with kernel process keeping device awake and not allowing it to enter deep sleep cycle Issue 22878 - android - Galaxy Nexus ICS 'Android OS' High Battery usage - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting

i was able to reduce my android os battery drain by enabling bluetooth radio, similar to how thunderbolt has been having idle power loss with gingerbread update.

So, is there a fix? Or is that still to come, we've just phone out what was causing it? I know with my D3, some people when it first came out had amazing battery while others got like 8hrs(I was one of them), and then with a later upgrade it came to last 2days for me as well.

there is no acknowledgement by google yet that problem exists, but by the number of complaints on that thread it's just a matter of time before someone figures out how to remedy it. xda also has an intensive thread dedicated to this problem Android OS killing battery - xda-developers

Getting pretty crappy battery life on my GNex. I have the extended battery and this is the best battery life I've gotten so far. I think it's going to be lucky to last 8-9 hours of honestly medium use.

Screen on time is 1hr 5minutes, by the way.

Definitely not happy with battery life. Not as bad as the Thunderbolt, but close

Good find. Hopefully developers will be working on a fix or Google releases a fix within 4.0.3.

Thanks for posting that!

Has anyone tried unchecking the back up my data in the the Backup menu under settings? Seems like that would take quite a bit of battery depending on the frequency it runs (i.e. every 15 minutes, everytime you open an app, etc.)

First 3hours idle. Dropped to 92 percent. All caused by late I'm sure.

70%, stock battery, non rooted. Had only charged to about 90% this morning. And you can see I'm actually using apps unlike some screenshots that show nothing is being used. Not pictured is texting app. Screen is using 37%, on auto brightness with screen filter set to 72.5%
