Battery Drains Too Fast

The battery life of my Nexus 7 (2nd generation) has not been good since when I first bought it last year, so would appreciate any help from here. I know there're some previous postings on battery life on HWZ, but could not find a direct solution yet.

When I put my Nexus with screen display off overnight (with Wifi, BT etc off also), the battery drains faster than I would expect. Please see screenshots which were captured at 2am today and at 7.30am today:

At 2am:
- battery: 64%
- highest usage is by "Android OS" (61%)

At 7.30am:
- battery: 41%
- highest usage is by "Android OS" (55%)

So in 5.5 hrs, the battery drained 23% without doing anything that I am aware of. I can confirm that typically it's "Android OS" that takes up the bulk of the battery drainage.

What can I do to reduce this rapid battery drainage? Anything to tweak that's related to "Android OS" (that description is too broad !) Thanks.

try reseting to factory default?

Just flashed L preview. Buggy but overall nice

try reseting to factory default?

I'm not too inclined to do that drastic step yet unless no choice. I"ve done some googling in the meantime also, and it's quite likely that the "rogue" battery drainage is due to "wakelocks" making some apps consume power/CPU also the tablet is supposed to be sleeping. Most of the internet postings point to "Android OS" being the biggest battery consumer, which is my case also.

There's a popular app called Wakelock Detector on Google Play, but it's only usable on rooted devices. Not sure if anybody knows of any other wakelock detection app that does not need me to root my Nexus?

By the way, how do you do that factor default reset that you recommend? Thanks.

I used to "feel" that my 2nd gen 7 battery kind of drained fast, so i call up Asus hotline ask about this, whether i should bring to service centre. 1st thing the girl asked me to train is reseting to factory default......

that was.... last yeat sept or oct time i think. later on i just **** care, then i think i did a reset in April.

actually, i dun feel too much now, maybe my usage not that heavy.

My Nexus 7 got touchscreen got problem went to their service centre at burn road.
Now need to wait for them to repair. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

ya common problem, I sent mine for repair too
got some scratches when I got it back, they replace the backing for me after that

do any of you with 3g/lte encounter signal disconnection, when u wake it from sleep/turn on data

Did anyone with LTE version (local set) manage to get OTA 4.4.3?

 

[version10]

Looking to get 1 either from Amazon or HWZ Marketplace but have a question hope you guys don't mind helping

For those who got it from Amazon, the charger they provided is the US type yea? Does it require a transformer or an adapter is enough? Or you'll just buy the local charger somewhere else

Thanks!

i am with LTE local set (got with singtel LTE plan)...already on 4.4.3....though i upgrade using the factory image via fastboot.......

that's the whole point of nexus isn't it? Why wait for anybody (even google) to push to you when you are given the ability to do it yourself?

i feel there's a need to put a sticky to educate users that ALL devices with micro-usb port as charging mechanism is compatible with (Almost) all chargers on the market....

heck, you can use ANY micro-usb cable to plug in to the apple ipad charger plug and it WILL work

unless your device is using proprietary chargers that is non-detachable with the cable.....

also, charging a tablet with a phone charger tends to be slower (or not charging at all in some cases)

Caveat doing so with iPhone charger only resulted in USB charging 500mA instead of 1A on my nexus 5. Very impatient waiting for it to be charged.

How much it cost to get a used 16gb wifi on marketplace
