Google Chrome sucks battery like crazy. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is it just me or is this the case? I've lost 17% from chrome alone in only 4 hours. I didn't even open it.
Sigh, back to Dolphin HD...

rouge app? Unless chrome is continuously syncing for 4 hours non stop which is hard to believe.

The screen was off almost the entire time. I'm at work. I mean it killed 17% in the background entirely.

I don't know. But it's disappointing.. Less than 15 minutes of screen time and I'm at 75% just from chrome, IN THE BACKGROUND.
Lame.

I had this problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome a couple days ago, and it just came back this morning. Responsible for 38% of battery drain after 2.5 hours on battery, but the battery is also still at 100%, so it's not quite as severe as yours.
According to Badass Battery Stats, Chrome's usage is because of the "gyroscope".
Looking under Developer tools, there's an option called "Enable Tilt Scrolling", and it's checked. Maybe this is, for some reason, running in the background?
I've unchecked it and rebooted. After I recharge my battery to green again, I'll unplug it and see if I get the same effect. I'm guessing this will solve it, though. Might be worth a shot while you wait for me to report back.

I'm at work so I'll be waiting on the results!
Thanks much!

Yeah, it's chrome, I never opened the app yesterday and it used 10% of my battery. Today it's been fine though...

A little over an hour after reboot and no battery usage by Chrome, so we look good so far.
I'd consider this to be resolved unless I return to this thread and say otherwise. :good:

One Thing Android Sucks At...

even with ICS, is determining how much battery life is left.
I could keep a better tab on my battery life with my watch. It's the worst when it's full and it's empty. It'll be at 100% for 2 hours and 20 minutes later it's at 89%. At the end, when you are at 10%, it's over, you might have 5 mins lefts or 60...who the hell knows.
Very true. I was at 15% for about 20 min but went from 100% to 30% in an hour

I hardly agree to the battery percentage because it depends on your usage ... there might be a number of unused apps running in the background which might eat up your battery... delete unused apps/widgets...

I keep my phone very barebones. I use two widgets and I have 20 apps.
When I'm down to 10%, I can have everything off and it will still drop down to below 5% within the half hour.
I've come to the conclusion that Android just sucks at this to ignore the percentages and to keep it as charged up as possible.
On my HTC wildfire with like 5 widget and over 150 apps installed it easily crossed one and half days....

I used to have this issue with Android with past phones like the Epic 4G and the Nexus S 4G. I could be at 70% and reboot the phone and all of a sudden it's now at 52%. I could reboot phone 5 times and get 5 different values. It was all so tiring.
Now i've since moved on to the Epic Touch running Blazer ROM and since i've been on this combo, i've not noticed this phenomenon anymore. The battery guage is spot on. I could reboot a billion times and the accuracy doesn't deviate one bit. Could it be that the dev of this ROM has some super mojo/juju that just works? (I hope so).
Alpha Review ROM is not completed, all guys using review HTC Rom have same problems. Keep remembering that it is still a review ROM

Try calibrating your battery.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
There is a rogue app in your drawer. download watchlist app, it will keep track on other apps which are hogging your system.
Battery calibration won't and doesn't do anything useful... its more then likely an app or something running constantly. What's your screen on times? Post a screenshot of your battery usage.

Today I didn't hardly use my phone (no work) sat around on the computer, paid some bills watched some movies and TV, sent two text messages and read 3 emails battery was at 65% after 3 ½ hours... 3 of which was idle time and screen off.

Anytime. That's usually the first thing I do when I install a rom based on lg stock. That app runs constantly eating data and ram. You will usually gain almost 1mb of open ram by just deleting it.

On what type of usage? I can hardly get more than 8 hrs on medium usage .
What the hell is qem_warlock .it's been on my kernel warlock since I unplugged.
I pretty much don't play games and don't stream music or anything like large data usage. I call text browse and read articles and such, XDA and Facebook is about it for other usage though, light in most eyes, and I under-clock the phone to 700's usually.

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

[Q] False battery percentage

Strangely, my battery stats have been highly inaccurate, sometimes dropping by 5% and on some occasion, the battery percentage doesn't even change after 20mins of screen on time usage. I know that the displayed battery percentage isn't 100% accurate, but this seems to be too far off.. Any idea what's causing this problem?

If you're S-OFF no need to relock or worry about your CID or stock recovery, the RUU will flash just fine. :good:
Good news! The RUU was successful and I booted up into BB9. I coumld've sworn that RUU's wipe /sdcard but apparently not. So I obviously don't have enough hours left in the day to test the battery, but I'll let it drain to almost dead tomorrow. Kinda off topic but if anyone was hesitant to RUU on Windows 8, don't worry, because I just did.
Oops
Alright well today was an abnormal day of use, but the RUU did appear to fix it. I used my phone a lot in HSPA so it APPEARS that it has the massive drains, but it all seems to be a 1% drain when I'm actually using. Here's a screenshot.

How is your N5 Battery Life ?

how is your N5 battery life discussion ? when you turn on everything such as bluetooh on , NFC on, sync on, gps on, and brightness set to either 100% or to auto, I wonder how long is your nexus can get through since you fully charged the phone itself from 5-6am in the morning . can it last till evening 10pm if the whole day you use it for texting , facebook, instagram, chrome with 5 tabs minimum , youtube, mail, reading news, recording video and take a snap from the camera .
a humble experience from all of you will be highly appreciate guys.
p.s = the reason why I making this thread is to compare with how good the battery with moto x.

I should be more specific, I'm talking about ordinary people. The people taking pictures using N5 and comparing it to the iPhone 5S are media outlets who have had prior access to the device (or early access from Google).
And honestly if they DO have the phone then they cannot comment on the battery life because it'll take at least 3-5 days (given a week) for the battery to settle in. Not to mention, you won't be doing your daily things on the phone as you'll be busy setting it up with the apps you've used in the past/transferring data/etc.

Nothing a little Titanium backup can't solve. By the looks of the other threads in the forum some people have had the device for a while... As early as the beginning of October. No point in shooting down someone's thread just because you have nothing to contribute to it.

Its lovely but so is the black I got both here but prefer the white.
The OS is the biggest change, a lot has changed in kitkat. Different ways to access different things and the app menu is completely different. Battery life I got near 3h 58 with 10 percent left from 82 percent and that's from restoring all my apps and more so I'm kinder hoping we'll reach 5h or a little more. Screen is beautiful but speaker isn't great. Though I'm comparing the speaker to a 5S which is pretty good.

IT: It should take a week for the battery to stabilize, so the first real impression could come just in some days

Looks pretty white to me but that could change in time. Looks lovely and white right now.

Nothing a little Titanium backup can't solve. By the looks of the other threads in the forum some people have had the device for a while... As early as the beginning of October. No point in shooting down someone's thread just because you have nothing to contribute to it.

I have nothing to contribute? ...... you can't tell the battery life with having the device for less than a week.
This thread is just as pointless as the threads asking for the best ROM/Kernel or threads asking when TMobile will have N5?
I'm not shooting anyones thread but its just a silly question to ask when the phone was released just a little over 24 hours when only <1% of orders requested has been fulfilled. The only ones with the phones right now are media outlets or the individuals who ordered immediately and live in a close proximity to the point that they can have next-day shipping pretty much.

Its lovely but so is the black I got both here but prefer the white.
The OS is the biggest change, a lot has changed in kitkat. Different ways to access different things and the app menu is completely different. Battery life I got near 3h 58 with 10 percent left from 82 percent and that's from restoring all my apps and more so I'm kinder hoping we'll reach 5h or a little more. Screen is beautiful but speaker isn't great. Though I'm comparing the speaker to a 5S which is pretty good.

Google Search is Google Now. I've not used it so why would it drain. I've turned it off and its stopped draining the battery.
