How long does your nexus 4 battery last? and how long does yours take to full charge from less than 4%?

Mine can last for about 13 hours in total with 4hrs+ of screen on with both 3G and Wifi. Quite heavy usage, frequent checking of whatsapp and other social media apps. Running on Carbon ROM + Trinity Kernel.

after the OTA 4.2.2, the batt life is awesome.

I use Tango for 45 min till 12 noon, then went out until 11pm (during that time use for photo, play a bit game, sms), reach home, left with 45% batt.

Bro, thanks for your info.

You can ship it from the Google Play store yourself (plenty of posts about it around here), or you could buy it from local stores. Onephone is selling the 8GB at 510 and the 16GB at 610, and Mobyshop is selling the 16GB at 640. I think I saw a UK set lying around at one of the shops in Far East Plaza as well.

 

[hisoka??]

Estimated cost for mine + shipping (via Vpost) is about $500. Credit card bill not in yet so can't give exact figure

Hope it helps.

Yeah probably.

Can reduce by quite a bit if you willing to under declare so no GST. But I don't advocate, up to individual

If the battery life is that poor, I think I'll cancel my order. :-/
I've owned galaxy nexus before and I thought web browsing battery life is poor because of amoled using more power to display white color.
Now N4 with IPS LCD, bigger battery also poor battery life. Google/OEM really need to optimize for battery life.

Battery is not bad what. can last me a day without dropping to red zone...
battery life really depends on your usage pattern one leh...
if you heavy browser and always keeps the screen on, you can get about 3-4 hours screen on time loh... thats all i can say...

iPhone? Of all the android phones I've used 4 hour screen is maximum. iPhone can easily last 5+ hours and still left 10-15%. I don't know it's the software power management, display consume less power, or custom designed chip?
Most android apps don't seem to be using google cloud messaging. That may also be the cause.
Android seems to be more network chatty for some reason too.

Hmmm I never use iphone for long period before... so no comment.

but big screens don't expect long life battery bah...

to me, the n4 is already better than my previous HTC Desire HD.
Battery life feels about the same as One X for me.

the reason is because of background sync...for iphone and IOS, it doesn't really do background sync at all...

If u want a ferrari, dont expect to conserve fuel. Its a quad core with 4.7 inch screen. IOS doesnt require much power to run smooth that is why they only have dual cores and it doesnt drain as much.

This is not true from my experience.
Even if I disable background data in android and surf net, it still does not make any difference.

I don't expect too much lah.. just 5 hour screen on browsing and ~10% battery will be good enough..
