Has anyone else experienced increased battery drain with Google Now enabled? It seems to make sense that it would since it updates and tracks location in the background. I was just wondering what others have experienced.

I have had Google Now enabled for maybe 3-4 days now, haven't noticed any drastic effects on battery life.
It definitely drains my battery.

I've been using a JB ROM with Google Now since August or so and haven't noticed SIGNIFICANT battery drain.

Do you guys have any significant proof?
I have Battery Stats Plus installed and it still says my screen is my biggest problem Download some battery apps and get some data and share it if you can.

the battery life isn't the best Abe can't go a day with moderate use
Does anyone know any tips on preserving battery life?
If this is a problem I'll have to trade this for the nexus but don't want to do that because I love this device.

1. Download something like JuiceDefender, you'll see it will make your battery to last something more.
2. Use SetCPU and set profiles for screen off with CPU at lowest speed possible.
3. Avoid using live wallpapers, they're battery eaters
4. Try to disable the pocket detection as it will make your proximity sensor to be always powered on.
would it benefit my battery if I was rooted?

Proximity sensor will only be powered on when the light falls below a set level and phone is at approx. 80-100 deg

it could if you put that to good use like uninstalling some possible bloat.
The real battery savers is with custom ROMs, but you'll have to wait until it's able to be fully rooted so you can flash ROM's.
Anyone else noticed android system eating up all their battery?

Thats a rogue app causing the high android sys.
+1, I've seen this on 2 handsets.
Using GSam Battery Monitor, then clicking on app usage ->android system -> manage -> clear defaults
The above seems to stop the issue after a reboot. I've not seen it happen again since I did that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 9hrs and 47% left doesn't seem like a problem... if you take your phone and leave it on (with screen off) and wait until it dies then charge and turn on you will see that the "system" eats almost all your battery. There is nothing wrong with your phone unless you used it a ton and the system still eats all your battery which If that is the case and it's been 9 hours and had 47% battery then I would think you were doing MUCH better than most, imho.

I've got the same problem. Only yesterday, mine was over 65%! My phones horrible on battery life. Some things definitely up
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
When I click manage it won't allow me to clear defaults...
And this began at around the 50% mark and as soon as it starts my battery starts dying way quicker
Do these screen shots help?

any ideas? seems like xda needs to be manualy killed or it ends up using alot of resources in the bacground
I have seen the same on my phone, but it has not happened consistently enough for me to narrow down the possible cause...
Happened to me once so far. Charged my phone to full and went to work. I didn't use my phone for anything other than to check the time. I started noticing that the back of the phone was getting very hot, more so than when charging. I pulled my phone out and the battery was waaay down :
Hasn't happened since (fingers crossed).
Edit: I guess mine wasn't the Android system, but cell standby.

The fix for the cell standby drain is easy, see here: http://techsplurge.com/10665/solution-samsung-galaxy-s3-cell-standby-battery-drain-problem/ As for the android system drain it seems to have resolved itself. I still get alot of kernel wakelocks from bam_dmux_wakelock though
Hi dev
My razr become power hunger instead power ranger, anybody have the same? Notice after using google now for four days now.. please help..
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Yea im running the razr maxx and i could see a significant drain even with the huge battery caused by google now. Id say your best bet is to just un install. Or turn your data off when your not using your phone.

Well I don't quite understand what you mean, but yeah, I wish my phone was Power Ranger. Is the Power Hunger the arch nemesis of a Power Ranger?
Also you mention using Google Now. Considering that isn't 'officially' on the Razr, you can't really complain..

Me too, and it really improved battery life. Installed and forgot and now I have battery all day. Had to recharge midday before.

As noted in title. No WiFi here folks. No plugging in go bump up the numbers.
Google Now is not enabled and data/background sync off when screen is off.
All 4g when the phone isn't dropping data when at home although it is considerably better with JB.

LOL, but overall you're battery life has been much improved?
From my experience with a XT910 loaded with XT912 JB kernel+rom, battery life is at least %40 better and it doesn't have battery drain issues. I can surf the web over 3g without fear
I think JB brought us back to GB battery consumption. With ICS it seemed to drop some. Have not experimented with leaving data on all of the time though.

I guess jb will be nice on battery just waiting for root

Hi folks. I recently flashed to this ROM for the nexus 4 experience. Its really fast but I have noticed an issue. The backlight takes a lot of time to adjust brightness as power ambient light conditions.
Also the battery life is quite low. I live 40 away from work and I lose about 9% battery buy the time I teach work every morning without even touching it.
CPU governor is pegasusq while I/O scheduler is bfq. What can I do to get more battery life without compromising Performance?
Cheers

Most AOSP based rom have battery drain issues. Usually Android OS have a high percentage in battery usage stats. No fix as far as i know.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As mentioned earlier, AOSP might be the problem, whereas you could also check with BetterBatteryStats what exactly is consuming most of your battery load. Maybe you will identify a problem that can be fixed.
Thanks for help guys. Will check it out.
