It's been at (!) for probably about half an hour... I'm getting tired but I am wrong... Stupid good batteries, why couldn't you be like the Diamond
It might be the Software, I dont have Pro yet but my s730 will go ! at 40% of battery life and warn me at 20% and go critical at 10%... I would assume your's is doing the same type of thing to keep you informed?
How long has it been on?

why would you want to do that?? i thought that with new lithium batteries it's better for them to charge them as much as possible, whenever possible. and AVOID them to go to 0. That could kill it, for good! Someone please, tell us if i'm wrong. These are not the oldschool batteris with "memory". So no reason to get it to reach zero for any reason, than destroying it. (it vould need kickstart after that)

Haha yes... Well, I constantly used it yesterday (obviously)... Always connected to wifi, always connected to Edge/3G (depending what was available)... Played teeter, talked on it, browsed the internet, listened to some of the music that's on it, it was being pushed hard... And it lasted like 6 hours. Not bad at all, and it gave me like a half an hour window after the battery went to (!) status.

Li-ion batteries do not suffer from the "Memory" issue as much as others, but they still do to some extent. The biggest issue with all Li-ion batteries is once its charged if you leave it on the charget you will burn it out and it will stop holding a charge.
Running it to near zero before charging wont hurt it, I have done it for almost a year on my s730 without issue and I charge it every few days due to use.
There are rumors that running it to full zero can hurt it and you should keep it charged since it wont hurt it memory / overcharge wise. I usually but not always drain my phone to 10 - 20% before charging to full and taking it off the charger once full. This way I can keep it charged and not worry too much about memory issues.
Ni-MH batteries really sufferd from the overcharge and a little from the memory, while Li-ions are supposed to not suffer from either I have (over retail experience) seen them suffer from both issues as well however it takes longer for the problems to crop up usually.
As long as you are carefull your battery should last a good long time.

"The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge."
Well, that's that.
At least it's not an iPhone, and we can replace ours... ;-)
I'm going to try to purchase my Nexus S before class tomorrow when they open. Don't want to take any chances on it selling out. Would it be wise to turn it on and use it a while during the morning? Or does the battery need to be fully charged before using it to condition it and ensure a good battery life? I've read many battery tips but i'm still a little confused on whats better for a new battery.

When you get it, deplete it, but do not let it die. Ever. Then just cycle it normally.

What do you mean by "die".... like to 0%, if so what should we take it down to?

Yes, by letting your battery "die", per se, you're letting it deplete to 0%. I'd say for safe measure, between 5%-9%. But if you're in the vicinity of a charger take it down to 2%. If not, turn it off at 5%, then plug it in before powering it back on. My devices' daily life lasts so long (on all devices I own) because I properly know how to cycle a battery.
If you let your battery die (0%), it'll lose more and more charge (on a 0.00% level) every time. When you get it tomorrow though, it should have ~50%-60% charge.

Battery life?
So how are your batteries doing? Mine is kind of crappy. What supposedly changed in 2.3? I see no difference in the reporting of apps in Battery Use and they took away Battery History in the hidden system settings. Where is the graph everyone talked about?
You gotta give it a few charging cycles for the battery to reach it's full potential. Give its few days, you'll notice it will get better after you charged it a few times.

The battery life on mine is chugging along pretty well. I gave it a full charge before hitting the streets. Its been 4 hours with wifi and GPS on with a couple dozen pictures taken and a bunch of apps dl and installed. used maps 5.0 and periodically hit the GPS for my position getting really good accuracy while driving and the battery level still has a little more than 4/5s battery life still remaining

You haven't broken it in yet, use your brain.
The phones barely been out that long, it takes a while to have good statistics about battery life.

That's funny because every company that sells back up batteries tell you to go through 4-5 full cycles before it reaches its potential. I guess you're right, and they're all wrong.
They are wrong. Google it

Battery
how do I train my battery it was halfway charged when i got it do I let it die and then put it on the charger thanks!
EDIT:WRONG SECTION DELETE THIS MODS!
I've always charged all the way up then ran the battery all the way down, then charged all the way up again. Then periodically, I will run the battery all the way down just to give it a little exercise. So far out of all the cell phones I have had I have had 1 battery go bad on me, that was 8-10years ago.
Battery

matter of opinion really.... I would kill it by playing with it.... then do a full charge
that is what I am doing
Generally the suggested method is to charge it for 8-12 hours as soon as you can, then use it until it gets very low, then charge for another 8-12 hours. Do this cycle about 3 to 4 times and you've got yourself a healthy battery.
Killing the battery entirely, despite popular belief, can have some negative effects on its health. Especially during is conditioning phase.
hey every one.... im going on holiday soon and sadly theres a stay of 6 hours half way through hahaha making the whole trip of about 16 hours!!!!!! :crying: going to china for a business trip.
anyways the phone isnt rooted... its completely stock. Any tips on how to save battery??? i will be listening to songs and probably watch a movie or two...
any tips on how i can make the phone last 16 hours?
does juice defender or softwares like that really work to save battery? It sounds like they will drain the battery by running in background...
oh btw i use poweramp for music..
is it not possible to turn the cpu frequency down with out s-off? or turn like one of the cores of to save battery?
thanksssss
Forget it.
To do that you should have 2-3 spare, charged batteries.

I just bring two extra fully charged batteries with me on trips and my wall battery charger from anker. I can charge my current battery and the extra at the same time. This is what I
Do now because I've been on trips and have flat ran out of battery! I hate that so now I always bring my extra anker and my old stock as backup batteries . This gives me three total. Honestly this is the best way to go in my opnion. Let's face it, battery life no matter how much we tweak it still isn't that great on smart phones. So I just bring extras and I'm set! Hope this helps out.

Also there is a battery tweak you can flash in android development. Take a look you will find it. You can under volt and this will help out a lot.

thanks for your replies.... Gonna have to go out tomorrow to buy a battery then haha... dont have any spare ones :/
i cant flash the battery tweak because my phone isnt rooted... its still S-on
S-OFF.
But seriously. You'd be lucky to make it through a single movie. Airplane mode since you'll be on an airplane (ha ha ha)
You should be fine listening to music. Keep the damn screen off. Bring a car battery with you and hook it up. Convince everyone you're not a terrorist.
Bring some ether and pass yourself out for 16 hours. Again, convince everyone you're not a terrorist.
I streamed the game the other night. Took just about two batteries to make it through the entire game.
Really having the spare battery is a nice convenience! If you can seriously dude buy an extra! It will help out a lot! Nothing I hate more than being stranded on a trip without battery! I've had it happen, couldn't even call my family! It sucked. So now I'm always leaving with a fully charged spare!
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
You could buy an external battery; this one has way more power: 11000mAh, which is 7,3 times the amount of the stock battery. Since you'll be in a plane, you could keep it in your cabin baggage.
And to lower the CPU's voltage, you'll need root permissions.

hahaha couldn't stop laughing!!!!! i wont be able to buy those portable chargers online because im leaving on monday... gonna visit the local store tomorrow and going to see which is cheaper.. battery or portable charger
thanks for the reply every one
Using airplane mode is the best thing you can do. The radio is tge 2nd biggest battery drain so shutting it off will help alot.
Keep the screen brightness low.
Movies will still drain it hard. But music with tge screen off should drain too hard.
Dont forget to have a power oitlet adapter for when you get there

Lifehacker had an article on this a few months ago. It was more detailed than this but the main idea I gathered from the article was to charge it to around 90% then let it discharge to about 40% then charge it back to 90ish. Also avoid charging it/unplugging it often. I deliver pizza so I suck at abiding by those rules Cuz I'm in and out of my car so much.
Ps. I leave my laptop on and plugged in all the time and after a year it won't hold a charge at all. So I'm thinking leaving it charging after its fully charged might be the worst thing to do. Hope I helped.

Please enjoy this awesome article.
Honestly, a big part of the reason I went for the Samsung Galaxy SIII is because I don't have to worry about babying the battery; a battery that will inevitably lose charge no matter what. If/when it gets old/abused enough to bother me, I can just get a new one if I'm still using the phone then. :good:
Hello Guys
today my phone i don't know whats happening
the battery be 50 and go 70 and then go 2 so i don't know whats happening should i replace battery or what
i install (Ampere) app and tell me the health of battery is good so i don't what i should do
I would replace the battery. Battery is cheap on ebay even they are likely to be faked. I replaced batteries both of my Nexus 4 with those potential fake one. The temperature sensor isn't working on one of them so I know it is faked. But it doesn't give me trouble so far. I bought three from three different sellers.

Hello,
I've got the SAME problem with my Nexus 4 this week.
I'll try to say what happened (and I didn't resolve this yet)
First of all, it is shuting down my N4 all the time. I need to keep it at charged.
I tried to change my battery with a friend (with N4 too) and the problem persists.
I tried to change our USB modules, without success.
At this phone everything is working alright, even with battery (so it isn't a battery problem).
I cannot charge my battery or calibrate it. I charged my battery at his N4 and put at my N4: "74% battery" (it was 100%).
My gauge do some crazy jumps. It's like "15%, 76%, 100%" and when i put it off "100%, 44%, 2%".
NOTE: I tried to calibrate several times.
It keeps shuting down at normal use.
This problem occurs -at the first time- when I was at Android 5.1.1 (Chroma ROM). I changed to Android 6.0.1 and it still not working.
At charger works very fine.
At "TWRP" it works fine too (don't shutdown)
I REALLY don't know what can I do.
Now, i'm will install a Stock Rom just for science.
I have this problem(random shutdown,random reboot,when plug in battery dance) too. 6 six month ago I changed battery because phone battery drained as ****,so I used my phone only when plugged in (battery wasn't charging,just keep charge) and one day I used my n4 too long without charging, so battery drains. n4 died till I changed battery.
Everything stock, android 5.1.1 LMY48T, still hoping for OTA updates.English isn't my mother language, so will be pleased if you check it
Now I think about buying new phone. As for me its to much change battery one more time. Or itsnt batterys' fault?
I got back the Nexus 4 from a relative because she got a new phone. Also a cousin had a nexus 4. The batteries are terrible. Its been over 3 years so this was expected. I'm hoping the new battery will give it respectable SOT. Right now it just randomly dies at 50% or higher. And I have to wait for it to really die before I can bring it back to life. Its got the RED LED of Death.
Got to say, its a beautiful phone still. Forgot how nice it was
i buy new battery now its work fine

Beware! The majority of batteries sold on ebay are fake! You can identify them by the look: their print on the label is not white, it's more like a dirty grey. Also they are smaller (1-3mm) in length and width. Also they lack a temperature sensor and constantly report a temperature of 22-23°C. A quick check with a hairdryer will reveal it. Don't install these fake ones. I did twice and both failed within less than 100 cycles. Runtime was poor and they were swollen so much they lifted away the back cover!
I just got a Nexus 4 that my mother was using and installed CM13 and now Lineage 14.1 for my father to use. I'm also facing these random shutdowns.
On my last charge, I charged to 100% without any problem and left the phone in standby for a day and a half which took it down to 89%. I then used it last night to give it some SOT and left it at 74%. Just before going to bed, I pressed the power button and nothing. With a long press the phone booted and reported the battery at 73%. Waking up this morning I expected to press the power button and find the phone on something like 67%. Once again the phone had shut down and when I booted, the battery was on 2% and shutdown itself down straight after boot.
If the battery performance is rubbish, I can accept that due to the age of the phone. What I cant accept is totally inaccurate battery reporting and shutdowns. :crying:
I replaced the battery of my Nexus 4 yesterday, purchased from AliExpress. I suppose it is a fake one. The battery was too big to fit into the enclosure. I had to force it to let it fell into place. Finally it fell into place and it was connected, the phone won't turn on. The phone has given only a red led of death for about 12 hours. Probably it means a battery failure. I don't think the cheap batteries are in good condition and I don't think they're safe either.

Agree, I got one from AlieExpress too. But that was not lasting even equal to my 3 years old battery. Had to complain at multiple places to get the refund but finally got it.

I think the best chance to get an original battery is to purchase a battery from spareslg.com. The price of the battery is a bit too high in my opinion: 22,60 euros at the moment. A second hand nexus 4 costs approximately 60 euros, 80 euros tops, in the Netherlands. I don't know how much a second hand nexus 4 costs in Turkey. Perhaps it's better to consider a second hand nexus 4 and use your old nexus 4 for spare parts. A known issue of the nexus 4 is that the digitizer will stop randomly and the glass at the front and back of the phone is fragile.
