I had bought Nexus device so that I get regular updates from Google and dont have to worry about hacking the phone to install other ROM. But finally I was wrong, Google Kitkat 4.4 upgrade is very battery intensive on Nexus 4 device. Hence I had to install a custom ROM which has help me to last the charge for full day.<\/p>\n
