hey guys, i have recently installed/ flashed my new nexus 4 with the ubuntu touch using all the instructions on this webpage
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
everything works that should work so far except for the huge battery drain on the device.
with the phone fully charged this morning at 7am. By 11am the phone was at 37% and then by 1pm the phone was completely flat.
So just to recap thats 6 hours for the phone to fully discharge. I should also state that the phone was not used at all during that time.
Anyone have any idea what could possibly causing this drain?
im also flashed with the latest as of the 29/5/13
Any ideas? I thank you all in advance

Recently I've been experiencing battery drain issues which hasn't occurred before. When I first got the phone I can go through the day with about 60% of the battery left at around 11pm when I plug it in, but now I have to plug it in at around 8, with 5% battery left. At the moment I'm using omega v43.2, I don't think its the rom's problem because I've tried switching roms and it didn't help.
Does anyone have a solution to this battery issue?
Thanks
Hello,
Originally I was running CleanROM 5.6 and felt like trying a new some. I decide to give SynergyROM r484 a chance, a while a few minor bugs bothered me, I really like the ROM. However, the battery is giving me some issues. Two nights ago after setting up r484 I let it charge overnight to 100%, when I got home the phone was at like 24% and eventually the battery went to 16%. It stayed at16% for a looooong time and then shut up. I tried charging the phone and after 4 hours it only charged to 20%. I shut it off and turned it on again after a 3 minute "break" and the battery was at 47% instead of previously at 20%. I drained the battery fully and then again charged it overnight fully to 100% while the phone was off. I was thinking maybe I fixed the issue, but right now I got home like 20 minutes ago and my battery life is decreasing at a "steady" pace but now it's stuck on 23% and has been for a little long time. I feel that my battery is probably around 15% in actuality. It seems upon installing SynergyROM r484, when the battery gets low... it doesn't display the correct percentage and I feel that's a huge issue. I'm also running leankernel 2.2 if that's an issue? I really would like to use this ROM, and while it's functional this battery issue is a serious problem and I'm thinking of flashing to CleanROM 6.0 for something more stable.
Does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping if anyone had any idea of a fix or something along those lines.
Thank you for reading,

Guys. Is anyone realise something wrong with 4.3 Jellybean (batter indicator)?
I dont what its calling this problem. Just let me explain. B4 upgrade to 4.3 Jellybean on yesterday (see today date), I was on 4.2 Jellybean. I got notice my battery indicator showing 59% left. After updated to 4.3 Jellybean, its showing 19% left.
I tought battery drain because of updating the sofware. After 2 hours, the indicator still showing 19% with wifi running without stamina mode (i used whatapss n weChat too). Im impressed with this big changes.
I get back home 1hours later, put on dock charger. Then its showing 29% after 3min charging. W#F ??
I shutdown my phone left over on charging. 1 hour later when get backc the indicator showing the battery has not fully charge. I boot up my phone and seeing the battery indicator is 100%.

Not so good for the battery, but let it completely drain, until it shuts down on its own.
Connect to charger and let it charge for good 4 hours.
Turn on device. Should be good.
It happened to me before. This solved it.

Thx 4 feedbck. I will try this.
It's perfectly normal. The 4.2.2 system reads the battery state to be at 59%. Moving to a different base (4.3), the system has no idea what level the battery is at, so it more or less guesses (which might be the reason why it was "stuck" at 19%). This will get "fixed" once you charge it again though, and this happens quite often when we flash custom ROMs.
Did same falling from 73% to 29% but now back up to 51% after a bit of charging so all well so far.

Ya I too faced same thing. I was at 68% but after updating 4.3 it went down to 31%.After then charged it to 100% for 3 hours and now it seems fine.
Have had this phone for about 2 - 3 weeks. Starting yesterday, I noticed the battery draining abnormally fast. I am not using any email client other than gmail. So basically, nothing in my routine changed. I didn't install any new apps, or started using any apps that I wasn't using before. Essentially, out of the blue, my battery is draining like crazy now. I had to recharge it mid day yesterday, had about 30% left before going to bed, woke up and phone was dead.
This is the s6's battery..i go out at 8 and at 12 my phone shuts down..buy an external pack and youll be fine

The reason I made the thread is because the battery was fine for me until a couple a days ago, now it drains 30% over night and I can barely get through half a day on light use. One problem after another with this phone. I guess I have to do a factory reset.
Booting into safe mode could tell you if the fast drain was caused by a rogue app.
Hey everyone,
I haven't posted here in a while but I've got a problem that suddenly surfaced on my Nexus 4.
I am running Android 5.0.1 and my ROM is Mako (beta.v0.8-20141206-OFFICIAL-mako).
Starting yesterday afternoon, my battery is suddenly draining extremely fast. Even with the screen off it drains about 30% every hour, which is ridiculous because just the day before it was only about 1-2% every hour... It also takes a very long time to charge. I charged it all night last night (about 7 hours) and it only gained 45% battery.
According to my power usage it says that "miscellaneous" is taking up 52% of the battery so that must be the cause, but that's not really helpful because it doesn't explain what miscellaneous task is the specific problem...
I haven't installed anything new, or updated any apps, or uninstalled anything. I haven't really changed anything at all for a while now.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!
