Nexus 4 battery draining

oysterman

As above, problem has happened overnight.

Media server using 40% & com.android.systemui using 36%. Now these were not there y/day.

What's happened & how do i fix it. Cheers for any replies:beer:

Do you have MX Player installed by any chance?

Or perhaps you've got something like a Seagate Central or similar DNLA compliant NAS on your network?

What happens if you force close those processes?

One thing to check, What charger are you using?

It's possible if it's not the official charger, that the battery stats might be off. So the battery might say it's 100% charged when it's really only 50%-60% charged.

I've seen it on my Nexus 4, if I use a more powerful 2Amp battery pack to charge it, it reports to be at 100% but it quickly drops to below 70% and then drops below 50% before levelling out with general use.

Best thing to do is let the battery drain to between 2% and 4% let the phone shut down and charge it overnight with the official charger, while turned off. that should let the battery recharge fully and the reporting should be back on track when you restart the phone in the morning.

Sometimes processes take a lot of battery for some reason. Often rebooting the phone will sort it out. If it doesn't then more investigation is required to what is actually causing the issue.

In this situation always try restarting the phone first to see if it fixes the issue.
