Hi everyone,
I don't know why, since a few days ago. battery lost around 3% in a minute without use when is full recharged, after that the perfomance is great, but I don't understand why that happened.
I reset the phone and reinstall ROM 10.0.2 for other reasons, but it's still happened.
Any idea?
Happening the same with me. Although with usage, I get good SOT, around 6-7 hours. But it's weird how fast it goes down from 100 to 90ish something, but it's alright after that.

hi all...
soo after my comments over a week ago on the aokp website for this build, i decided afterall to take the plunge and update. i was on b26, so subsequently had to flash b27 and then this. everything has gone absolutely swimmingly with no issues at all so far....
HOWEVER>>>>>
I am faced with a very puzzling quirk. its by nooooo means a problem at all, infact it quite the opposite!!! let me explain.
i've started charging my phone in the evening these days for some stupid reason and then, when charged taking it off and going to bed. After getting this milestone on, my battery has been killed over night, draining to around 15%. Normally, it would drain to around 70% and be flat by the end of the day ready for charging again.
This continued for a few days when i decided to root out the cause of the massive overnite idle drain. I installed a fantastic free app called Badass Battery Monitor (which i highly recommend btw!), and over a period of a couple of days the offending app was weeded out. It was Nova Launcher. This had never happened to me before and couldn't understand it. So, as part of my diagnostics, I decided to confirm the findings by removing it and just using stock.
Over a couple of days monitoring, with exactly the same charging method, my battery levels returned to normal drainage with around 75% battery left by the morning. Fantastic. I had found the problem fixed it and got back to normal. Soooo where is the quirk i here you say!!!? lol Well......
On average, from everything i've read in forums, battery drain overnight while phone in standby is around 20/30%, so mine WAS right up there with the majority of you.
Last night, i decided to charge to full and then wipe battery stats. Which i did. Now, bare in mind here that I ONLY have the standard battery that is supplied with the Galaxy Nexus. I got up this morning, and to my utter amazement, my battery had only drained 2%
Now been incredibly realisting here based on average overnight drains, i was 100% sure that this was deffo an error. I have done everything from restarting the phone, taking the battery out, but still the level in my battery was saying the same.
As I sit here writing this, I have been streaming a radio station via wifi on the phone for the last 2 hrs, and atm my battery is telling me that it is STILL 85% full.
I am DEFFO not complaining, but i'm sure now, you can see why the hell i am so puzzled! HOW THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING, because i can genuinely find no explanation at all for it
as a follow up, it is now more or less 5 hrs since my orginal post, and my battery is reporting that it is 75% full
Jeesh, 20 to 30 idle drain overnight? My phone drains about 3 to 5 overnight which is typically 8 hours of sleep.

Interesting quirk. Are you a heavy or a light user? It'd be nice to see how it drains after a full drain and recharge.

well, to see if what was been reported was correct, i've been an absolute heavy user today. i have wifi on, ive streamed radio via internet for around 3 hrs, ive been playing all sorts of games and watched a few youtube vids. and my battery is atm reporting 74% life left
so here i am, STILL very very puzzled..
my battery life is just going and going with no signs of running flat... have a look at these screenshots and give me an explanation as to why i suddenly have a super battery!
MAYBE you really have a super battery or your mobile is glitched and shows the battery like that due to laG?
I'm on miui and I lose 0% overnight. It just depends on the ROM, but 20-30% is ridiculous!

Your states do not seem super impressive. On most phones the screen is the biggest drain. You show 49% battery with a screen on of only 1 hour. After 33 hours you've only used your phone for 1 hour screen on. Thats VERY little.
I usually get 2.5-3 hours of screen on time for my galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the app recommendation! Been looking for something like it all day.
This will depend on ROM/Radio/Kernel user installed programs/sync etc but 2-6% is normal drain over night anyone with 20% needs to seriously look @ battery stats and work out what's causing wake locks.
Also not forgetting most phones need to bed in after a flash which can take 2-3 days before we see real battery info.
Hi all, i have SNS just few day old, the wierd problem with it is that no matter what ROM i am on, the battery stays good with consistent discharge pattern till around 30%-35% after that it just nose-dives and goes to zero within 45 min... i have done everything i know like tested different roms, with/without any apps, JB, CM9, ICS, GB, everything behaves same. I also tried to calibrate the battery by 3-4 charge discharge cycles, removed battery stats, but still it persists.
While charging back from 0% it charges rapidly till 30%, much faster than normal, also sometimes if its at 20% and i remove the charger, after 5 min it would show 22%!! i dunno what to do now... Anyone has any idea?
I'm no expert but that does sound like your battery is crap... how long does it last on a full charge? Does it get especially hot or something? I mean if it were a software issue, the power would go somewhere and that's either display or CPU, with a battery drain like that your phone should be glowing and steaming after 45 min.
I hope I helped a bit at least ... Good luck!
Well no, i dont think heat is an issue... even when it dips from 35% to 5% it does not heat up... when charged, during the night too i get 5-6% battery drain which i assume is ok... it lasts around 15-16 hrs till 35% so thats kinda ok i guess but after that it just goes haywire... no clue... i tried to calibrate many times but it just does not get better...

In that case swapping ROMs/kernels won't help. I suggest you get a new battery, but that's just my opinion. A drop like that in such a short time without the device getting hot is definitely not normal
Any one know where can i find a genuine battery who would ship internationally?
But why wont the battery discharge gradually? lets say even if its bad say 1200 1300 mah it should discharge faster than the normal one but atleast at a gradual rate and not suddenly like it does on mine... even after calibration??!!
So, this is strange, but I'm finally starting to get a view on things:
I have 2 batteries for my Desire S. Both should be in good to perfect state. I tested them before I unlocked and started using custom roms; I could get 2 days out of both.
Ever since I unlocked and started trying out new roms, battery life has been acting very, very strange.
When charging regularly, with the phone on, battery life looks good at first (it stays at 100% for hours), and then all of a sudden starts dropping sharply. I can get only 16-18 hours with very little use when this happens
If I charge my phone while it is turned off (well, in recovery, since there's no way to charge it while truly off), my battery seems to get its proper life: it easily lasts 2 days, i managed 65 hours before.
This goes in cycles and diminishes over several cycles: after the 65 hour depletion, the next charge when on, is slightly worse, after 2 or 3 it gets to a really bad state. Charging it while off "resets" this and I get the full 65 hours again.
What the hell is going on here ? I've used a variety of Cm10 roms (Flinny, Pac-man, blindndumb's... last one is my current). Don't tell me I'm actually recalibrating my battery every 4 days...
Hello,
I bought this phone a month ago. At first the battery lasted quite well, I got around 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago I accidentally left the phone under my pillow and fell asleep on it- causing it to overheat a tad bit (I woke up 3 hours later and it was very warm to the touch and had turned off). After charging it up, I continued to use it normally but noticed that the battery would drain a little bit quicker than normal. Before I could easily go around 10 hours with heavy use and have 40% battery left, now after 10 hours it's left with about 15-20%. I am a heavy user but I haven't properly checked how much screen time I'm getting now, however I'll update that later.
As for the main problem- last night I charged my phone before sleeping (100%) and when I woke up in the morning it was turned off. I turned it on only to see that my battery had drained to 0% while on standby all night- whereas overnight I usually only lose around 2-3% battery.
After charging my phone up for 15 minutes- the battery level again returned to 100%. I only charge my phone through my laptop via USB. What happened here? Is my battery deteriorating? Should I get the phone replaced? I would appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks.
Also I've attached the screenshots showing how my battery died and how it was quickly restored. Can someone explain this occurrence?

Your sudden battery drop has nothing to do with what happened before.
Several people already mentioned this sudden battery drop as you can read in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545553 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678909
No reason to return your device, its a know issue.
Drain your battery completly then charge your phone to 100%, turn the phone one and leave it to charge a hour more. Essentialy you have to recalibrate your battery.
So a brief update regarding SOT.
I left home with 90% charge this morning. Used the phone for 8 hours and it went down to 20% - granted, with heavy use.
Got 4.5 hours of SOT. Is this about average? imo I feel like this falls a bit below average. Ill check other threads as well and compare, but as far as I know, I feel like I should be getting a *little* more juice out of my phone. Data connection was on throughout, and some games were played and pictures taken.
Anyone else feel like they're getting sub-par use out of their battery?
*screenshots provided.
- checked the other threads, looks like ~5 hrs SOT is the most this phone puts out?
Same here.
Are there any news from Motorola?

I have a new tablet from HP. I had it for two weeks now. The first couple weeks when I charge it, it would stay at 100% for a few hours before going to 99%.
The past couple days it would go down faster to like an hour or thirty minutes today before hitting 99%. I would charge it overnight whenever I was done with it. I didn't think this was a bad thing since I read that it wouldn't mess it up or overcharge since it said it stopped charging after it was full.
This evenimg I noticed my battery percent draining quicker than usual. A few hours ago I notices it went from 86% to 80% when I was out. I tried turning it off for 10 minutes and notice it would go down one percent when not using it. I been using the same charger and have been charging it for the same amount of time every night so I don't know what I have done wrong or what I can to fix it.

Maybe because there are many background process running.
Many apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, even Antivirus occupy quite amount of RAM.
Try killing them all, and see if the same happens.
