Anyway I do not understand these benchmarks.. why buying a cutting edge smartphone to leave it offline and without using it just to get a full day with no recharge? I'd prefer benchmarks with screen on time, 1 h calls, 1h browsing, 1h playing, 20 SMS and 100mb download!

I hope manufacturers will invest in battery technology instead of 4 cores CPU and hires screens. Nowadays the situation is getting ridiculous, if you haven't access to power supply during the day you have to be offline by the night (or evening) ..

Lucky me: my company gives out nokia c5 to employees, they last 1 week with hours of conversation every day! ;-)

Ciao,

Giulio

Well yes I agree with you there. I use my phone heavily because that's what I bought it for. There's no point in it sitting there doing nothing, cherishing how many hours screen time it gets or whatever. But, using this kernel, I get 5 hours screen time (extended battery) without even trying. And yes, I am a girl in a thread full of testosterone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Does the extended actually make that much of a difference? I carry an extra normal battery with me. And between the two barely get through a day if I even do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
I get over 4 hours on the original battery, but I rarely use it even though I carry it about with me. I can usually charge somewhere if I need to, or in the car. I used the normal battery last week and was surprised that the battery was at 98% and I hadn't used it since I got the extended battery in January - must hold charge well!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I never turn off wifi and sync services. 14-20 hours of battery life while 3-5 hours screen on. I think it's not bad as gnex has such screen and cpu with 1750 battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
What screen brightness you have on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EnIXmA:
aokp milestone 4 with franco m2. Getting 5+ hours of battery with 15% remaining. extended battery and brightness at 50-60%

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wlee2:
now i am more confused.

Today i plugged in the AC charger and it works.?.. when it did not work yesterday.

Out of interest i decided to try the USB charge thing. and that also worked.

and turned it off and plugged into the AC charger and working as per usual.

So i guess issue solved but i am confused (mind you there is nothing wrong with the cable as it was always working over USB just strange behaviour with the ac charge)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saudoo:
Wow... I thought I had bad uptime on my phone. I usually carry it with me for about 3 days on stand-by, and 1½-2 days when I use it for more than just regular web surfing now and then. Data, Wi-fi, Sync on and display at about 55-60%. On a regular non-extended battery.

Looking at your uptime screenshots, makes me sad! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
What is your screen on time over that long period of time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Which extended battery have you bought? 2000mAh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jiia:
Amazing kernel! With the stock kernel I got about 1,5d uptime with slight usage. I currently have 3d 8h uptime with about 1h 30min screen time, stock battery. Still running so I will post my screenshots after the battery has died.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x.Orville.x:
What scaling governor has more battery life ? Ondemand or interactive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrrocker:
Me too on stock settings. Never ever had an sod or reboot with francokernel before :-(

Reinstalling, rebooting don't help.

Franco, the app is not working.

Actually now its working, took a very long time to load, i had to let it run in the background and then i came back to it and it was working.

Yes. And 2-3 hours ago app worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Well as you know I haven't issued an update so something must went wrong there. I haven't received any emails regarding force closes so I don't know. Can you submit the error when it force closes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
I know it and as I wrote above it worked fine 2-3 hours ago.

Here is errorlog - http://db.tt/59NXRFL5 Or have I misunderstood you?

Works now!

Maybe the problem was that application could not get access to update server?

Ondemand.

Same here.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yes that was very helpful, thanks a lot! Basically it gets in a loop trying to contact the server. I hope to have it fixed now. Should push it online in a little while.

I'm also going to add a toggle to disable smartreflex calibration during runtime which should increase the undervolting capabilities (not sure about this, but it *may* help).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Thanks! Bought it and waiting for)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hussainally:
Thanks.just ordered this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Yep I gotta order one too, I might actually prefer the bulkier size, GN feels too cheap in its stock form :)

Ok app's been reworked a little bit and now the update check action is performed outside the UI thread to prevent force closes on non responding server, or stalls during app start-up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
#3.8.2

* Updates checker completely re-coded - now it runs separate from the UI thread which means that the UI will always be drawn first and the checked will update the proper preferences after it fetched from the servers. This should also fix some of start-up force closes

* ColorControl also heavily bug fixed to prevent force closes

* Added option to disable SmartReflex calibration during runtime - if you undervolt after you disable it, the undervolting action will enable it again

I notice when check hotplug, it sod. Overall awesome kernel n great battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Weird, I get better battery life without hotplug. Then again, I almost always have music playing and I'm guessing that shares loads better with 2 cores.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
That annoys me. How is that even possible? Do you have data on even?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Exactly what I say! How is this possible? I struggle just to even touch 4 hours screen on time. I've done it once. Usually in the 3 and a half to 3:45 for me. Although I've found if I use inverted colors in the browser I'm consistently reach closer to the 4 hour mark now. Still I'd like to know how 4:50 on stock battery is possible. Must be wifi only no syncing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
3,800 mah battery maybe? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apsis:
@drewlim

Good stats, are you undervolted? Ondemand gov? Minimum frequency? Screen brightness?

Would be helpful to know this facts, I can only get around 4:30 maximum out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rico13:
or the user only uses the phone sparingly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewlim:
Yes i do have data on all the time.

XXKL1 radio if that makes any difference.

Syncing 2 pop3 email account 1hr interval, 1 gmail, 1 haxsync, yahoo messenger/mail on background.

Wish i have one.

35-40% brightness stock m2 settings 1228/384 ondemand no uv hotplug whatsoever.

Here are the background apps running most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeeVine:
I don't use hotplug. 34 hours n 67% battery left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
34 hours is it all on wifi? i can hardly touch the 24 mark

for some strange reason my battery goes down 1% every minute when screen is on and i am on AOKP M4 and franco M2. it is really annoying me

standby time on wifi only with the phone sleeping seems reasonable

standby time on data only with the phone sleeping seems around the same as stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
On my expirience the greatest battery "eater" is a screen. While screen is on I have 0,3-0,5%/min battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schizophrenia:
0.5% per minute which means around 3 hour or so screen on time sitting idle....

how do people get over 4 hours screen on time with standard battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
black theme or reading ebooks all day. life's a ***** :-)

Got my 3800Mah extended battery a few days ago, rocks like there is no tomorrow. it just feels a bit weird, but hey, for the days that I need some extra power it's worth the thickness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raubkatze:
Don't forget that screen is not always on. And I wrote above from 0.3% - it's 18%/h.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
I have my brightness on 50%-60% and sync everything all the time.

I get 3 hours screen on, which after testing multiple kernels is the best, I can handle this, gets me through the day easily.

For those days where I cant i have a spare battery.

These who are getting 5 hours cant possible be turning the brightness up or utilising the phone, its not possible (currently).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyyy:
M2, had another freeze up last night, that's twice in a week (screen locked, doesn't respond to power button, needed to pull battery out)

this time I missed work cos alarm didn't go off

revert back to M1 to see if problem persists. I'm on MoDaCo ir13 pre bake.

sadly I don't know how to reproduce the event, so I won't be able to get logcat right? only able to get the file from \proc ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyyy:
I meant ir12 pre bake, dunno why this app wouldn't let me edit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puzzlegirl:
I use auto brightness and all google stuff syncs, but not facebook or twitter which I manually sync. I use the phone a *lot* and always get 5 hours screen time on my extended battery, over 4 on the normal one. I utilise the phone: there's no point in letting it sit on a desk or in a pocket. I can't say I get 24 hours use like some people; more like 12ish, but the screen time is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Key thing there mate is autobrightness, thats probably where your getting your extra hour.

I (like franco) like the screen to look vibrant (or whats the point) although I dont have it to the extreme he does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x.Orville.x:
I have 4:30 on screen time i want to reach the 5 hours
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I struggle to get 2.5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
To get back on topic slightly -

Franco, what's your next move going to be? You've reached a point that's almost as good as its going to get, in my mind.

The only thing that is missing is a live GPU OC, maybe you could take a look at that again and see why it messes up certain users phones... might be interesting as well :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danial.aw:
Mine doesn't force close... but when I start it .. it takes that long bit to load... I just push back once and it open up then :S....

Also I have noticed that sound control... stops working when I'm done using it... like I was playing music before .. was working fine... now I had to change the values in the app to make it start again (ex. Going down from 3 to 2 n then back up which forced it )

:)... but I am also wondering ... which is better on demand or interactive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Your in airplane mode...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Nightlies should start again on Monday. I have a few ideas but Im still not prepared to share.

I did an enormous re-write last night to separate UI thread and new updates checking threads to prevent that **** from happening. You should update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jiia:
Got this with my regular usage!

- Slight gaming

- 2h of music

- Couple of short phone calls

- Some instant messaging and SMS

yup i put in on the night only i have signal all time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
hey franco, I've been following this thread since practically the beginning and after trying most of your builds, I find only 13.1 does not result in SODs. your newer ones clearly have great improvements but after half a day or so of usage my GN gets that dreaded sod, sometimes with the light still blinking and I have to pull the bat. I have quite a few apps, mostly paid and ics compatible so I was wondering what the best way was to find the reason for this? I've also done fresh installs (format) with the same issue. only 13.1 is absolutely flawless for me. thanks in advance.

I always use auto brightness. Struggle for 4 hours. Typical 3and half to 3:45. And I'm in really good service all the time. 70dbm and above. And in my area with the network far from clogged my mobile connection is faster than wifi so I use the mobile network instead of wifi usually. I'm finding inverting color on browser to be helping as that's where majority of my screen on time is coming from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
It's included in google's kernel already.. (so it's already here.. Franco didn't need to add it) doesn't need to be turned on anymore.

You'll have to manually mount usb drives through a terminal, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
Damn can't get enough of this kernel!! I swear this is 10x faster than it was thanks again for your hard work,Top phone on the market bet my life on that,Ya that's bold statement! but true :)

No one else phone got WAY slower and sketchyier after applying this kernel? I am overclocked now and it feels like I am underclocked to 300mhz...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dlnp22:
someone tell this idiot what he's doing wrong? I flashed through CWM and can't get past inital Google screen(before animation). No ROM's flashed, currently.

Kicking myself for ALWAYS having to flash something new RIGHT before going to bed. I'm just asking for it, sometimes :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
The issue is probably that you flashed the 4.03 kernel and your phone isn't using ICS 4.03.. If you're using an earlier version, it won't boot.

Do you have clockwork recovery installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dlnp22:
That's it. I'm still on 4.02.

And yes, I have recovery, which I've already utilized ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Guys we all know franco is the best.... but what about battery life?...give us ur feedback!

For example battery life in Revolution HD 2.1.1 with stock kernel is unreal (2-3 days)... i am waiting 2.1.2 (based in 4.0.3) in order to test this kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
This. This performs amazingly well but I'm also interested in the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
well, what are you waiting for? hurry up and flash 4.03 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottRTL:
I have the same issue as above, how do I flash a 4.0.3 build if I only have access to fastboot, and cant mount USB in CWM?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trismegistos:
Adb reboot recovery? Then flash a 4.0.3 rom and re-flash the kernel

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottRTL:
Didn't realize I was going to be doing a new ROM, so I didnt do a backup with titanium, is it possible to push/flash the old kernel back on then boot in, back-up and do the new ROM/Kernel?

I have the old on my computer, so if I can push it to the phone, I can flash it, just not sure how...

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Got it... flashed the old one and I'm all good, just for the record though, it needs to be made more obvious that it is only for 4.0.3... It says it, but Im no dummy, it should be a little more in your face...

No! You should take responsibility for your actions and not blame others when you don't read!!!

The sad fact is that these phones tend to get quite warm..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheez99:
I looked around and couldn't find anyone else asking, but is there a way we could maybe get links to the pre 4.0.3 kernels? I'd like to take this thing for a spin but I don't want to change ROMs from Android Revolution HD just yet until it updates to 4.0.3.

Hey franco, where's the pic of you holding the beauty? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiabea:
hey franco, thanks for your work!

i don't know if it is a kernel issue, but did you look into the multitouchissue of the GN?

if you hold down one finger on the screen the other side has no response, so multitouch games like pew pew are unable to play :-(

I seemed have been one of the luckier ones as my old device ran perfectly at 1650 and so I'm contemplating just swapping the screens out. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supercluver:
Using mobile network is probably what is limiting you. Good service (or great service as is your case) or not, mobile network uses more power than wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
Seriously why do you post this ****? I haven't had one single sod from the nightlys and no one cares if you have. Its not a bug in the kernel, it's on your end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudaccord:
something more useful to say would be to ask him to post a log so someone could tell him why he's getting reboots.

Sure, but its the fourth time he has posted the exact same thing in a day or two.

I used to use Wi-Fi a lot. I got 4 hours once. But usually it only gains me 15 minutes or so screen time. Which isn't that much. But its drastically slower for me. Only 15mbps here. On downloads and video streaming it makes a difference in download speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Thanks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
He has a point, not posting a log or at least some details about something is like calling a doctor and saying that you are sick and not telling anything else, he can't help you.

The whole thing would be a lot more efficient if people posted logs and kmesg when they report a problem. The dev does his part and we do ours.

Not getting at anyone but it needs to be said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
I don't know, I need dmesg logs ;)

Nop, won't happen sorry.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
will the "live dmesg" app be sufficient or is there another one you recommend?

If we allocate few space what can happen? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CommanderDuplex:
are you sure ??

i read that the ram is divided so

1024MB tot.

128mb for the GPU

= 896mb

and then 300mb are "reserved" and hidden , so we get ~350-400mb (clear) ?

i don't understand why the SGS2 have more than 800MB Ram free and the Galaxy Nexus only 300mb ...

Every process what get in the ram need CPU time , so when we fill the ram with useless process, may when we load the pre loaded app they will open faster ... but in the non-use-time the will only take CPU power and drop battery life

OK that's a "feature" of android , but I don't see why android hidden/reserve ~300mb of ram ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
If its working properly its good that's its using all the ram. Its actually making CPU work less because its all pre loaded into the ram. Therefore the CPU doesn't have to work so much to load so much every time you open the app.
