battery life

Ive made three substantial changes to improve my gummynex'd Gnex.

1. I set the 350 MHz to 850mV in performance settings -> voltage control.

2. I installed BetterBatterystats and noticed that my phone was not going into deep sleep when it should and the culprit seemed to be two things, one was the passivelocater service from google. I remedied this by installing the free App quarantine app and quarantining google maps. When i need to use location based services I simply take maps out of quarantine.

3. The other major item in my partial wakelocks within betterbatterystats was AudioOut_1, even though I was playing no music at all. I remedied this by unchecking the touch and screen lock sounds in the sound option in settings.

After all of this, my battery life has improved immensely without sacrificing or limiting any real features of the phone (having to un-quarantine google maps aside). On my first fully charged cycle Im sitting at 8 hours of use, 1 hour and 2 minutes of screen on, and 30 minutes of voice and my battery is currently at 66% with plenty of mixed wifi / 4G / 3G , texting, emails and google + use throughout the day which is much, much better than the last few days without these tweaks.

Just thought I would pass this along for anyone trying to improve on their real world battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ritchell:
Thanks for this. I undervolted a bit across the spread and I turned off touch and screen lock sounds. I also downloaded BetterBatteryStats and I'll look into whether I also spend a lot of time in the passivelocater service.

I feel like I get perfectly adequate battery life on my phone, but it's a little distressing to be at 40% in the evening because sometimes I go out unexpectedly for several hours and it's nice to have a working phone in case I need a cab etc.

can you actually undervolt in 3.8? I read its based on leankernel 1.1 and read somewhere else that in 1.1 the undervolting commands weren't actually working. please advise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jam10238:
I think that some of the startup boot prefs weren't holding but I believe the commands themselves work. Might be wrong on this....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al_dizzle419:
anybody using imoseyon 1.3.0 ? how is it working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Undervolting works. I had to do a battery pull last night.

I've since moved to 1.3

I am, I only just flashed last night but it's working fine for me, nice to have interactiveX back, and i was able to undervolt with the same MV settings i was using before.

why would you need the stock launcher for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistermojorizin:
i used the 4 blue button mod from this link: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12601-romaosp403cdma-gummynex-038-010112/page__view__findpost__p__342078

just flashed the zip through CWM. worked well. it also changed my battery to have the number inside instead of the squished battery look. running gummy 3.8
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjsph88:
Probably shouldve asked "do we need the stock launcher to do this" thanks for clearing that up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
Quick question because I've never tried it before ever. (Particularly going from stock to GummyNex if anyone has tried it)

Has anyone had any problems flashing a ROM, then using the Advanced Restore Data function in CWM instead of Titanium Backup? Did it work without any issues or is it just going to be a force close nightmare?

I get the same error. I've seen others have the same issue running Gummy Nex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ritchell:
Aww yeah, new Gummy. I noticed the GAPPS hasn't been update for 0.4.2. If coming from 0.3.8, could we theoretically install 0.4.2 from ROM Manager, wiping just dalvik/cache? Or do we have to do a full wipe etc from within CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
you dont need the stock launcher for that... i'm running the pixelated text version from that link with trebuchet (now liberty launcher).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
can anyone confirm if verizon visual voicemail works on this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kejar31:
ok updated to 0.4.3 enjoy guys I just pored t and a half days into this one.. Most of that time when to back end stuff you will never see but in the long run I hope it pays off in the end :)

Been waiting since your tweet last night. Downloading now!

Edit: Running great, but native tethering still doesn't work. Instead of turning on and just not moving internet traffic, it now just sits at "Checking subscription status" forever.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thunderstruck!:
Having the weirdest problem-I did an upgrade, and noticed when I came back up Weather Bug Elite, which I got from Amazon was missing. I tried to restore with TB but it hung up. Go to the Amazon app, and it tries to install but eventually I get the message installation failed. I deleted both cache and data from Amazon's appstore, but same results. Anyone have any ideas? I removed everything I could find with aws in the name with root explorer.

edit: reflashing gapps did the trick. I had already deleted market cache and cleared data, but that apparently wasn't enough.

Yep tethering was working on 0.3.8 for me on both wired and wireless but now stays at checking subscription status..

Same for me. Wireless tether does not work. It checks for subscription status and then says to contact Verizon for tethering plan. It worked in 0.3.5. Did not use 0.3.8 to try that one.

Mobile hotspot is broken for me too going from 3.8 to 4.2.

"Gummy" is aware of the problem and said he will look into it.....guess another "update" coming soon :)

Looks like I made the change to one place for the wireless stuff but not elsewhere.. Re-compiling now after fixing that up... After I verify that wireless hotspot is working I will release an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidrage2010:
Needing help from whoever is able.. First off, my Nexus is the third android phone I've had, and finally rooted and started crackflashing yesterday.

However, when I try to install this Gummy rom from CWM, I think somethings wrong.. I says Installing Update, shows the GUMMY text, and comes up with Random offset: 0xc7

Then it says Install from sdcard complete and hangs right there.

Let me back up a bit... before this, I was running Android Revolution HD and ran the SuperWipe script which set things up as EXT4. Could that be my problem? Is there a way I can get things back to normal to install this rom?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me..

Internal Storage Issue

Anyone having trouble viewing internal storage with the 0.4.2 update? When connecting to a PC there is no internal storage under Galaxy Nexus and if there is it only shows half the folders. Using a file explorer I can see all the folders but some are empty when they shouldn't be. If I restore back to 0.3.8 everything works fine.

Edit: I also see the message "Random offset: Oxc7" after the install is complete.

Edit 2: Kernel change seems to have fixed this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceredics:
Nah your fine, it just says offset to finish things up. Not sure what it particularly flashes but just reboot system when its done and your fine.

Audible Issues

I listen to Audible books. So far (prior to 0.4.2) Audible has worked just fine. Today I went from 0.3.? to 0.4.2. I wiped data, cache and dalvik which is something I normally do to avoid any issues. It usually works great for me. Never have to report bugs.

Today after the upgrade Audible is acting strange. After listening a few minutes the speech will stutter momentarily and then Audible goes into pause. I hit play again and all is good for a while. I need to troubleshoot a little more - try without BT, try music or other audio. But prior to today's release I had no problems with Audible and in fact I had no problem with Gummy at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ritchell:
Do you undervolt at all, especially on the lowest clock speed? It sounds like it might be a difference in undervolting between the 1.1 kernel and the new 1.3 kernel.

I think I'm just blanking here but I can't figure out how to go back to original voltage values. After I UV and set, I can't seem to find a reset button or the original values. I can always reboot (provided I haven't set the new values as boot values), but if I set the new values as boot values I can't see how I can go back to the original values as set by the kernel. Can someone help me figure this out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oshea85:
What's the correct upgrade procedure when going from 0.3.8 to 0.4.2 (or 0.4.2+ when it comes out later)? Should I do a full data wipe, or can I just wipe cache/dalvik?

I'm trying to avoid re-setting everything up (home screen, account settings, phone settings, market apps, etc) each time I flash a new Gummy.

I have used Titanium Backup before, but I'm not a power-user of it. Is there a way to use TB to only back up & restore homescreen & other settings that would not otherwise hose up the upgrade of the GummyNex version I'm on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ritchell:
Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the ROM, then flash the associated GAPPs. This may change in the future depending on what was done with updates (e.g. the change from pre 0.3.0 to 0.3.0+ required a full wipe). You should keep everything if you just wipe cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks for the response guys. No undervolting. In the performance menu I have 1350 MHz - 700 MHz - interactivex. Didn't touch Voltage Control. It is basically showing 1350 MHz/1325 mV down to 350 MHz/975 mV which I am guessing is defaults for the voltages.

Understand I don't need to wipe everything out but I generally do it anyway. Normally it all works perfectly for me and I don't have all the little glitches I see here in the forums. Done it so many times and keep things pretty simple so it only takes me 10 or 15 minutes to be up 100% again.

Further troubleshooting... Google Music seems to stutter and stop at times similar to Audible. I hit the play button and all is good again for a while. I'm streaming Google Music and have turned off BT. Audible plays files from SD so so far the only common thing is audio.

BTW hogowner, the bike here is a 2003 Fatboy. Thank goodness for mild winters.

P.S. I download and install GAPPS with the ROM each time even if the GAPPS version remains the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esoomenona:
Soft keys are what I'm waiting for (like this in particular, with long pressing search doing voice actions).

Also, would it be possible to incorporate this 1% mod?

Other than that, I love this ROM. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donlad:
I would also love to see the soft key mod for the search button and long pressing for voice commands/actions/search.

I am also wanting pull down toggles in the notification area.

Thank you kejar for this ROM it truly is great. I'm looking forward to Liberty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
What are the chances of getting the Phone Ringer and Notification volumes separated from each other in this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
Fwiw, the soft key mod works, it just changes the battery icon and adds back the alarm icon. I'd still rather have kejar bake it in though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hogowner:
+1 here!!!! since I am on call...I would love to shut the notifications volume down.....and have the phone ringtone volume up....just like my CHARGE....had 2 slide bars for volume...one for the ringer....one for the notification...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meshdub:
I'm not sure if this option is accessible anywhere in stock settings (I didn't see it when taking a quick look), but I'm using SwitchPro widget and the volume switch gives me the option of separate volumes. Just a heads up...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hogowner:
THANKS>..but I went to the market and someone has a comment that is doesnt work with the Galaxy Nexus???:confused:

EDIT::::::: I searcehd the market and found Quick Settings for free....had the volume controls that I needed,.....

THANKS!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
Every app the people have suggested so far that is supposed to offer separate volumes doesn't actually work for me. You can change the volumes separately, in the program but they just affect the same "channel" behind the scenes and they will still be at the same level. My guess is that this will probably require support in both the kernel and user-land section of a ROM to get it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hogowner:
quick settings app had the controls that I needed...will check tonight if it works and report back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
I just tested, you can untie the volumes and set them separately, but if you click "Set" then go back in to the volumes they will both be at the same volume again. It's another app that looks like it will work, but actually doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Which of this governors are more battery eater interactive. Or interactivex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
I believe InteractiveX saves the most battery if memory serves. Specifically, when the screen is off it limits the number of cores running from two to one to save more power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ritchell:
I think you're right. If I remember correctly, InteractiveX (v2, as on the GNex) puts a core completely offline when the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mallman:
Working for me. U have to have the login service
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jitajt:
It won't let me log in on 4g, but I can log in with my user name and password on wifi.

Thanks. Feels snappier using interactive tho. But eats more battery

I doubt its from this ROM but when I updated to 0.4.2 all my notifications get played twice. For example if I get a text the sound is played twice same with an email. Anyone know a fix for this?

All of the issues with the name of the Service Provider could be resolved by learning how to edit your eri.xml file. I don't care to look it up, but thats where your solution is if it drives everyone to the brink of insanity.

The difference between the people reporting Verizon and CDMA is probably whether youre Roaming or not. Check if you're still on an Alltel PRL (which you are if you are on an Alltel rateplan) and that will give you the CDMA provider instead of "Roaming" or "Roaming indicator turned off".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kejar31:
lol I don't think its driving people to the brink of insanity and I know how to manually change it...

Honestly I think it could have something to do with the network issues Verizon is experiencing.. I would rather wait a day and see if it clears its self up as I have yet to see the issue myself.

Now that the Verizon network issues are over, if you are having the issues with carrier text... Can you please wipe data re-install GummyNex 0.2.3 and the my Gapps and see if you still have the issue after getting your phone reactivated and setup??

then report back here on what happened

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jman391:
I don't know where I could find them to compare the md5sums.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] publicanimal:
I disobeyed the developer's orders and didn't wipe between GummyNex ROMs. Actually I wiped cache & dalvik-cache, but not data.

I am not experiencing any issues. So if you don't feel like wiping and doing a TiBu restore, you shouldn't have to. Just don't report any bugs unless you did a full wipe as the dev requested.

EDIT:

Also, I should note that the 1.4 GHz overclock is extremely unstable on my phone, I'm not sure if those who wiped data would have a different experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kejar31:
Can someone with the carrier issue try and install this and let me know if it works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
I am aware of the issues Verizon was seeing, but this was after those issues, and before. I was unable to buy apps from the phone, but could from the website and then have the app sent to the phone.

I am still unable to click the button that has the price of the app without getting the error message.

I will flash this version along with this version of gapps and report back.

Worked like a charm. I can now buy apps on the device. Also, where is the Vending.apk located? I can't find it in /system/app and renaming the /data/app/com.market.blahblahblah does not allow me to update to the new market 3.4.4 application.

Would I also need to rename or remove the marketupdater.apk file from /system/app?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notphilip:
This rom has been working great for me! Just two weirdish things:

1. The wallpaper defaults back to the default gummy one periodically. Not a huge deal, but I can't figure out why.

2. Battery life is improved, but my screen still seems to destroy battery life. When the screen is on, I can easily watch as the battery number ticks down. I have autobrightness on, but it seems to be this way even with it turned down at the lowest setting. At the end of the past charge, it was responsible for 70% of the battery drain. Any ideas?
