Mine drains between 2% and 3% per hour, doing nothing. I don't use Juice Defender.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Mine is 19% drain over 7 hours, taking 1 call, and doing nothing else (Beautiful Widgets updates weather every 2 hours). Pretty much exactly the same as pre 1.6.5. In fact, I've not been able to get much better or worse than this since I got the phone, with 2 different roms, and at least 4 different kernels spanning a few versions each.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
3h15m with 36% left on heavy use and I mean I've not put the phone down so what you think ......I did a calibration after flash the update so I guess the battery will get better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SicMe:
0.5.6 links dead? Trying to update rom, links anyone? Thnx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
almost 4 hours straight use you can see the display consumed most of the battery and 20% left what you think I'm on wifi used Netflix now running mp3 download app downloading and streaming music and fb emailing browsing etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suburban78:
Three plus hours of nonstop heave use as you put it is damn good for a dual-core 4.65in display 4GLTE power house like the GNex and is right no track with every rom/kernel combination I have used. If you don't mind lag, set the max CPU to 350 and turn on power saver gov and under volt to around 725-750 if your GNex will take it on try again. My G will run stable (after full boot) at 725mH and I clocked 6 hours & 31 min with CPU locked in at 350 min/max running stress test, screen locked on(lowest brightness), 4G on, WiFi enabled(not connected), Bluetooth on(not connected) and gps turned on.

I just updated by booting into CWM wiping dalvik cache then installing the zip. Rebooted now a bunch of my icons are the default green android and a bunch of my apps don't work. What I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
I will try tomorrow cause battery almost dead I will put in charge all night long and just FYI brightness have been around 60% so I guess lowest will last longer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
Almost dead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suburban78:
Every phone handles under volt differently so what ever you do, DO NOT CHECK THE SET AT BOOT BOX!!!!!!! My friends GNex wont run stable at 350mHz unless he set's voltage to 800.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
If you set on boot and have problems don't panic...If you're really fast you can boot up, open superuser, and revoke permissions for the gummy performance app before it requests permission and freezes up...don't ask how I know, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suburban78:
Damn you fast!;) I've been in the same pickle also...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
my phone is dead jejeje now im using my mac lol........ok that seems dangerous i don think i am that fast so you think if i do a back up i will be able to return it to a previous status....

sorry im stupid thats why u recommended me no set boot hehehehe

Love the features and interface for clock, battery, and sofkey selection.

Center justification of the softkeys (esp for 240 or 241 DPI): If you get around to it, take as much time as needed to maintain your level of quality.

I just flashed the new kernel, no wipe, working great so far..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong then. This morning I charged to 100%, rebooted, force closed camera, disabled location services and auto-rotate. Here were my results:

20% drain in just shy of 1.5 hours. Fresh flash of 0.5.6 and franco nightly #12 just before I plugged it in last night. All I did was send a few texts messages on the way to work. You can see how much faster the battery drained as soon as I got off wifi.

When I'm at home, on wifi, I can go hours without losing a percent if I'm not using the phone. When I go out and I'm on 3g, it drains pretty fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkitab:
This is by far the best from out I've tried them all with all types of kernel combos and this from is the best all around. I do use Franco kernel as it seems to boost performance even more for me.

Love the soft key options. With long press on search.

Will we get the ability to customize soft key colors thru rom settings like other roms? Kinda like the blue without having to use another mod. Also saw a mod for fast glow which shortens the soft key glow and makes soft keys respond faster. Would be awesome if these too could be incorperated.

Is there a benifit to imos kernel that I'm missing? Is the battery life that much better than francos? I would like to under volt which Franco's can't do. Are people seeing good results undervolting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilkal:
Two hours screen on time. Mostly 3G connected but wifi here and there. Most apps sync every hour and some when I wake the phone. That's a lot of texting and a couple phone calls. Plenty enough for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frow86:
what theme are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I'm jelly.

Not sure why mine decides to drink battery so fast. Is that the extended battery?

In almost 10 hours of overnight iddle time phone drain from 97% to 57% what you think I'm not happy what about you ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcampbell:
One other thing I've done is to get autostarts from the market (it's not free, but cheap), and disabled a lot of things that want to start "after startup". Maps, pandora, Qik, mytracks... stuff that I know doesn't need to be started at startup. I don't know if that makes much difference, but it might be worth trying.

Also check CPUSpy and make sure your phone does go into "deep sleep" when idle, and use BetterBatteryStats to see if anything is keeping a partial wakelock (mine was with Audioout_1, which I'm told is the button and keypress sounds. I've since turned them off in settings.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
Really battery sucks on GNexus no matter what I went from 57% to 17% in around one hour and a half is unacceptable I'm going back to resound
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnap:
do you guys know how to disable screen rotation only for things other then messaging and things like that. i dont like how the main screen rotates as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FruitBowlMafia:
VOIP app running?

Looks like you have some kind of IP phone app running, and that will drain that juice of yours fasho...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I'll close it but it doesn't show up in betterbatterystats or the battery break down.

I'll try anything though :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
If you want to you can disable the auto rotate only on the launcher by going into the launcher settings. App drawer->Top Right Corner->Launcher Settings->General->Auto Rotate checkbox
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnap:
I actually like that feature !! just dont want my home screen to rotate because the wallpaper gets messed up

Wow. I'm getting pretty awful battery life. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
How you do that damn.... mine battery sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
Possible Addition

Would it be possible to have a long press on the multitasking button to clear all the apps out of Recent Apps?

Also could we get the developer option added where if you long press on the back button it will completely close the app you are in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tsoflyyup:
I +1 both of these! great ideas...............
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phillybizzle:
Sooo yeah...can i flash 5.6 over 5.5 without wiping?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juvenall:
Yup. The only change is the kernel. In fact, you don't even need to flash the full rom. A few pages back, someone had a link to the kernel directly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
Did someone mention me??

Link to the download page for the zip with only the kernel upgrade.

Inaccurate Battery % on boot

Every time my VZW GNex boots on GummyNex 0.5.0, the initial lock screen shows the battery at 100% even though its not (note the percent left in the notification bar):

All subsequent lock screens display accurate battery information.

Awesome Rom

love this rom. Ran a full day of moderate use with the extended battery.

Im at 13% remaining at 14h 38m on battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimson12:
First off, thank you so much for such a wonderful ROM. It's been my daily driver since I've rooted and I haven't looked back. Next, is there a way you could customize which toggles are presented in the notification bar? For example, I rarely toggle between 3g and 4g, but would love a mobile data toggle (biggest thing I miss in 0.5.6 coming from 0.4.8 I believe). In any case, thank you again for your hard work, it doesn't go unappreciated.

That feature is native to ICS, Google thought it was a good idea and they were right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juvenall:
Really happy with my battery life on 0.5.6. This was with light use from texting, a handful of emails, a couple of YouTube videos, manually restoring apps (did a full wipe), everything but bluetooth enabled (100% wifi, though), and about 4.5 hours of screen on. The results are from an ~85% charge on the official extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
cool feauture im just curious nobody mention it anywhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeyoner:
Hi Kejar31,

I most tip my hat off to you for the awesome work you've been sharing us all!

I was wondering why not include [APP][ICS Theme] Widget Picker 4.0.3 in your releases? It's small and just needs to be dropped in the /system/app. Which I'm sure you know of. For those of us that does not use the stock launcher. I use ADW EX and I'm sure there are others the use ADW or Nova. Just a suggestion I have no problem move the file to the folder before flashing.

Again thanks a lot for the awesome work. I use your ROM as my one and only! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihyln:
I'm still getting some serious battery drain with 5.6. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jam10238:
You have an app waking the phone even though your screen is off. Download cpuspy and betterbatterystats. With bbs, check to see what partial wake locks are most prevalent. With cpuspy, find out how often your phone is in deep sleep as opposed to 350MHz. If its at 350 most of the time with the screen off something is keeping the phone in an awake state. Also, try opening and force stopping your camera and also toggling Bluetooth after you fully charge and reboot your phone. See if it acts any different after that....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihyln:
I did a reboot about an hour ago and the battery drain stopped. I hope this took care of it or else I will have to go back to 0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowwolfy:
lockscreen modifications

Hey Kejar,

I have a request. Can you add lockscreen modifications like accessing email/SMS directly from lockscreen? Essentially what widgetlocker offers, but without having to install that app (i find it miserably laggy on my gnex)

Thank you very much for such an amazing rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95cobby:
How in the hell do you get the bug reports to stop?? Kejar mentioned he fixed it in an earlier build but I coutinue to get several of them daily and have to delete the bug reports folder on the sdcard. My phone randomly vibrates and saves a 6mb txt file on my sdcard...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Digital_G0D:
Still not happy with battery on kernel 1.6.6, particularly idle usage. I flashed back to 1.6.0 for now, much better in my case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
Correct me if I'm wrong... but I believe this is some basic information about the different governors, what they do, and how they differ

Ondemand- Very basic, scales CPU when needed and not needed (Pre-ICS?)

Interactive- Stock governor for ICS, probably the most stable governor

InteractiveX- Interactive gov + shuts off one cpu when phone is in deep sleep to save battery, really saves a lot of battery when screen is off, is pretty much always stable so far.

Hotplug- Similar to InteractiveX but instead of shutting off one of the CPUs when the phone is in deep sleep, it shuts off a CPU when it is not needed, highly effective at saving battery when screen is either on or off, downside being that it is basically the least stable of all the governors, but also should save the most juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enkrypt3d:
No it doesn't close the app it just removes it from the recent apps list... I use ES task manager to kill the background processes on the stock rom now and would really love a way to just remove the recent apps button altogether as its completely useless! Anyone know if this is possible? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Digital_G0D:
I would like to know the same thing. I have searched for a way to remove this but haven't found anything. Would be nice to replace that unused button with the search button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
I never tried it because the fix worked for me, but you should be able to delete /system/bin/bugmailer.sh. I looked at it and it is a script for sending bug reports to yourself. I can't see any risk in deleting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeOfTruth:
From what I have read it kills some and doesn't kill others.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus/138051-removing-vs-closing-apps-ics.html

Swiping an app away will effectively "kill" most apps. You can test this out using ADB if you have the SDK installed. Swipe everything out of your recents list, then launch the browser. Use ADB to run 'ps' on the device and verify that the com.google.android.browser process is running. Go to the home screen, it's still running. Launch some other apps, and the com.google.android.browser process is still there. Swipe it out of the recents list, however, and the process is gone.

You can create a test app to further verify, and log the onDestroy() call in your Activity. It's not called when you back or home out of the app, or when you launch other apps. It does get called when you swipe the app out of the recents list though.

I do agree that the recent apps list isn't really "multitasking". The apps in the list aren't necessarily even running, the processes could have been killed by the memory manager long before you try to re-open it. However, you can't argue that the only purpose is to jump quickly to other apps when the swiping makes the actual process go away.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445065&page=2

It actually does kill the apps... sometimes. If anyone would have bothered to search around, this has already been discussed in detail. If an application is dormant, swiping it away from the recent apps screen will kill it. If an application is not dormant and actively using system resources, it will not kill the application.

Which makes sense because google is trying to get away from people using task killers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopstix9:
What I would love to see is a button we could have quick access to that would allow one touch enabling of the wifi hotspot tethering, instead of having to go down into the settings tree to enable it.

Edit: That and the 4G button on the power bar. I thought that was for turning of the 4G radio when not in a 4G area, to conserve juice? It kills my 3G connection as well, making the button more decorative than useful !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
Alright, so I was in here the other day talking about my batter drain issue. Somoene pointed out that I was running GrooveIP and I thought that might have been my drain. Unfortunatly, that was wrong. I've also uninstalled Facebook and disabled audio feedback.

Am I crazy here in thinking after 13h, with about 7 of that overnight, 5% drain per hour is too much? I was sitting on wifi, screen off, and it seemed to be sleeping correctly. Here is my battery graph, CPU Spy, and BBS for before I left for work:

That breaks down to 65% over 13.5h which is 4.8%/hr. That would be fine in my opinion as long as that was medium usage but it wasn't. Now here's where my previous "worse battery life on 3g" idea comes from. I drove an hour to work, on 3g, off wifi and look at the same apps after my hour long commute:

That comes out to a touch over 5%/hr. This could easily be attributed to the screen being on but after uploading these images I'm sitting at 25% in airplane mode as soon as I sat at my desk. Seems as if I got ~5%/hr while sleeping/overnight (WiFi) and then 10%/hr when I was out driving to work (3g). I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I see other people get great battery life out of their phone 24h+. Are they all using the extended battery or is there something else I can do.

Why is it AndroidOS REFUSES to be anywhere other than the top battery drainer? Please halp :o

This is with newest GummyNex, it's newest kernel (1.6.6), after closing EVERY running app before bed, AND doing the camera FC trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
What is your screen on time? I can get 24hours + with less than 2 hours screen on time with the extneded battery, if I approach 3 hours I can get about 17-18 hours out of the battery which is fine for me I hardly ever use it that much. The screen is a battery drain, if you use it for the 1st 3 hours after a charge your phone will be dead in 3 hours...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
54m 8s. Not even an hour.

I know the screen drains it but I'm having an issue with AndroidOS drain. EVERY SINGLE TIME I charge/discharge it's #1. No matter how much I use the screen, no matter what kernel/rom, it's always the same usage % as the sceen if not more.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Should I just be happy with 5%/hr?

I mean ****, my N1 would get between 1-2% if I had it on wifi overnight. I don't see why the phone should be eating close to 5% just sitting on wifi in deep sleep. Even my CPU spy shows that it's in deep sleep 80+% of the time.

Anyone having better/worse luck with a different ROM in terms of AndroidOS usage? I'm getting tired of watching it rape my battery. If you look at the first battery breakdown and compare it to the second, I was actually texting and stuff on the way to work but the screen % didn't go up, the Android OS % did. wtf.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I think I'm going to restore stock everything to see if the battery drain is still there.

Hopefully not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95cobby:
Thanks! So far this seems to be doing the trick!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:
4 hours and its at 57%. Not the greatest :(

This is with extended battery, 34 minutes of screen use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tclarkey:
What is that MediaServer in your image? Also, I think the running at 350 is a little high (IMO).

I am currently at 20% with 1d 14h 33m 57s on battery. I have done very little on the phone during that time (some calls, texts, very little browser stuff). I use JuiceDefender Ultimate where I have Wifi running all the time, 4G enabled and have data disabled between 12am-6am.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
Battery life still sucks.

What other kernels are people using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timdor:
I'm not entirely sure. More than likely it was me playing music through Google Music from the web.

I restored my phone to 100% stock and it is actually getting much better battery life. I got the suggestion in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20272288

Someone had said that it's not actually Android OS that's causing the drain, instead it's actually the apps that are running and forcing the Android OS usage. I didn't do research so I'm not sure as to what apps but I suspect G+/FB/etc as those are some people have mentioned here. For those of you with bad battery life, I suggest rolling back to your recovery image from when the phone was stock.

So far, I'm at 56% after 4 hours but i'm happy with it. Here's the break down after restoring my stock recovery just after root:

Much, much better. Yes, it's drained fast but that's due to the heavy screen use (restoring apps after the wipe), 4g for the restore, and a **** load of phone calls. It actually sat on 70% for about an hour and I sent a few texts before it dropped to 69%. Android OS has been sitting at 10% ever since I turned off 4g so it's not steadily using juice.

Not sure why these custom ROMS are doing this (4.0.3 maybe?) but it seems much much better back at stock. I really miss the drop down toggles though :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juvenall:
As with all flashes, millage may vary and one person's "heavy usage" is another's "light use". I consider myself a moderate user and since flashing 0.5.6 have easily pushed though an entire day and overnight with a fair bit of juice left.

Check out "MoreQuicklyPanel". Paid app that adds some toggles to the notification area. Not as slick as the ones in this rom, but if you are going back to stock, there is an option.
