So, as many of you know, my battery has been sucking. I just noticed that, where I work (which makes me login to their Wi-Fi each day) isn

 

Yes, Galaxy Nexus, Go Launcher, stock everything.

 

Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Sorry, I didn't know this was an exclusive issue to my phone model. Thanks.

 

Well, I can connect to Wi-Fi, it just doesn’t happen all of the time right now. This is a new issue. I am running JuiceDefender, but I just disabled it. I wanna see if the Wi-Fi will just stay connected, however, this has never been an issue for me before.

So, do you think that there may be a faulty SIM Card in my phone? The phone used to ghost dial *22899. I have reset the phone and it stopped doing that, but ever since my PRL updated, my battery life drains and drains. I used to have much better battery life using JuiceDefender.

 

Yes, I think that I may have to call Verizon and ask them to send me a new SIM Card. I really don't want to have to go to the store and wait on line, etc.

I can tell you that JuiceDefender is great. I mean, I just turned it off, went closer to the Wi-Fi (where I work) and it dropped 10% in an hour. I just put it back on and it dropped like 1% in a half hour.

This is so unpredictable.

 

But, I disabled JD and the battery suffered a great deal. Then, I turned it back on, and idling now for 45 minutes, it only dropped 2%. Before, it would’ve been down like 4 times that. JD seems to be working for me when idling, it’s the phone’s battery life when on that was a killer. So, I removed Dolphin Browser, and that might be helping.

 

OK, someone please tell me if this is normal. The battery dropped like a rock, in my house while on Wi-Fi and using auto-brightness.

Is it possible that my phone is not accessing the Wi-Fi, even though Wi-Fi is connected and the phone seems to display that I am using my Wi-Fi? How can I see if this is a fact?

I turned on my phone this morning (after it was fully charged last night before I went to bed), and within only a couple of minutes of using it, it dropped to 96%. Then, in 14 minutes, it was already down to 90%. Seriously? Is that normal? All I did was open the stock browser (I ditched the Dolphin Browser yesterday), and I opened Facebook. Those two things shouldn’t drain my phone.











Then, I viewed a video in the stock browser for maybe 5 minutes, and I continued to surf the internet. After only 44 minutes and the battery dropped to 82% - how can that be? Isn’t that crazy? Here’s what it looked like:






But then, I didn’t touch the phone for 2 hours. In that time, it only dropped about 4% to 78%. So, when the phone is idle, I am fine, but when the screen is on (auto-brightness, and on Wi-Fi in my house), it drops like a rock.
