I've noticed something while connected to wifi. My 3G/4G signal drops dramatically. Its kind of annoying because I already have awful signal at my house but when I connect to wifi I find myself having to retry sending messages cause they fail quite a bit. Not sure why that is happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I don't know either, but have you flashed the latest radios that just came out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingoanklebreakn:
Hmm I'm not experiencing that. Are you running the new radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
Yup. New radios haven't helped at all. It did the same thing on the leaked radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphanu22:
for ones that are having meh signal or if you haven't update lately...

try *22899 to update your towers/roaming

it worked for me-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
DO NOT UPDATE YOU PRL USING *228. You will tank your SIM.

That is a 3G provisioned update line. If you do it you will have your SIM permanently provisioned for 3G. Meaning that going forward your 4G towers will never be updated. What you have now is what you will stay with or worse it could actually damage your SIM and make the device inoperable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphanu22:
so when my Gnex did a Auto *22899 it auto messed up my SIM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
Getting 7400 in antutu at 1.65Ghz using Imo 3.4 exp! Very fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
*auto22899 ?

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphanu22:
my GNex was sitting on the charger then i heard the VZW Background music. It Auto Called *22899-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Was it on the activation screen when you turned it on ? Did it show in your call log ?

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Testingchip:
Pretty sure that was the case with the t-bolt and has since been corrected. I got my gnex on launch and have used the # to update my prl several times with no ill effects.

That said I don't think it's really necessary. My prl changed but only for a short while. It didn't take long and old prl was back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
It was very true with the G'Nex. I have personally gone through 3 SIMs before I found out it was due to the PRL updater.

Verizon was supposed have disabled access via HW ID. However, as of two moths ago they haven't.

Bottom line, don't do it. There is no benefit in even trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphanu22:
tell VZW to stop telling ppl to hit the *22899, they actually told me to before i went into Canada to Dial it-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Sadly, they don't know enough. *228 is for 3G phones only. The PRL for 4G phones are automatically updated with each reboot.

That is why most G'Nexs can't dial *228 (the call won't send), people had to back door it by making it a contact. Verizon is half trying to block it.

Franco : loving the new gamma options in your app. My wife is finally not complaining about lackluster colors on her screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
When connected to wifi your 3G/4G turns off, data goes through wifi. The only signal you have at that point is for phone calls (and SMS if through the messaging app. GVoice and some others go over the data connection).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petecraig612:

Wasn't telling him to add it, just saying what it does.

I never said a lower speed; people are adding more speed steps in between, such as 500MHz or 750MHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Did you Hotplug enabled ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
I didn't say that you were telling him to add it, just telling you it wouldn't make a difference in this case ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrchu001:
what are some of the color control values that you guys are using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Great kernel! Been using it since I got my nex. Bought the updater to show some support. Looking forward to seeing what hot plug does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayhill Jacket:
-10/0/-2 is great for me and suggested earlier in the thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
So does everyone have the Hotplug enabled ? And run Conservative ?

I want the best battery life, but also warp speed smooth as butter feel to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
700/1350, conservative, hotplug enabled. Smooth as butter, fast as hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Thanks, just set mine to that. Does Over clocking to 1350 hurt the good battery life this kernel gives ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nerdslogic:
curious why 700 and not 350?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadsterflip:
This gonna make the white look whiter? Or close to it? What's the default value? 0 0 0?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
700 allows the phone to finish what it comes out of deep sleep to do faster, getting it back into deep sleep faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SouthernEvo:
I had a sleep profile set and it was actually hurting battery life . I got rid of the screen off profile and battery life was great . I also downloaded the app and enabled hotplug . This kernel with Gummy Nex is insane compared to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Conservative 700/1200 hot plug light/normal use. CDMA radio only. Awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Getting the best battery life still on 12

Better than any other kernel out there. This seems to be the only one that doesn't suffer from the android system battery pull, thanks franco I certainty appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Berzerker7:
-10/-1/-5 is giving me great bright crisp colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pauliewalnutted:
That's amazingly helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Berzerker7:
Not sure what's so funny...

amending my statement, putting a -1 on the green makes the screen go wild when it's in a lower brightness...-10/0/-5 should be better.

Maybe if you knew how to use quotes you'd be a little less of an idiot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
I'm aware of that. There is still a dBm value associated with signal strength even though data is off. This signal strength decreases by about 10 dBm when I connect to WiFi making it extremely difficult to send texts or make phone calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Will try this in a little bit . 152 was superb with my phone. The stand by battery life was great and now with the new gamma hack I don't miss voodoo colors anymore.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballbusta:
Downloading now . Love the colors with the new Gama setting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flip35:
Dam I still running r151 and I'm loving it, getting good batt life with good performance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
New nightly seems good so far...the past two haven't liked my phone so much. I wonder if its from setting the min at 197. 143 nightly was great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
Anyone care to share some great gamma color options? I can't decide its so ausume :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
Lol you can't show of screen gamma settings with screenshots. It doesn't work like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TemplesOfSyrinx:
r154 does not seem anywhere as good as r152. Started to drain immediately. Also, caused some issues with Axi0m Cmplx. The battery bar started to disappear and only reappear after a reboot.

Just did a restore to my previous setup with r152 to see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
I've been loving 152. Before bed last night, I charged fully, then unplugged and left it. Woke up with 97% left. Awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hyp3nitis:
is there a reset kernel for ics 4.0.4. Im still havin blurry text problem for 3 months. I think i have a bad phone i have tried everything. Some please help..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
That almost looks like you restored system data to your phone. Why not try to wipe cache/data/dalvik and then reflash your ROM of choice, then kernel? Should fix up everything. Of course have a backup of apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hyp3nitis:
been doing that for 3 months its works for a lil bit then it comes back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmlhodge:
Hey Franco, awesome kernel I wont run anything else!

But with this my settings menu looks purple at the top, I bought your app and used recommended settings and also experimented with it a little and i still cant get that purple to go away, do you have any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grady:
I just flashed the new M3 on AOKP M5 and I had a kernel wakelock for 6 hours last night. Never even touched deep sleep.

What is "PowerManagerService" that kept my phone awake for 6h 55m?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then turn the screen off for 30 seconds. Open up CPU Spy and you should see deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
That looks rom related...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
I've been having wake locks lately, and using BetterBatStats, I've come to find out that it's actually the WiFi staying on and keeping my phone awake. When I turn WiFi off, I don't have any more wake locks.

Is that a problem that is caused by the kernel or is there some other underlying cause to that? I restarted my phone, and 35:11 of awake time and for WiFi was at 35:10. So I'm assuming that's what's been eating at my battery as of late.

Thanks for the great kernels Franco! Keep up the work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Def not bad considering you had 18+hrs on that charge. I haven't seen over 4hrs screen on time and 20+hrs on a charge, like I used to with r90 or whatever it was a month ago before M2 i think.

Stock battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey503:
Stock cdma battery. I believe its 1850mah

And heres a screen shot of my light values

I found these values on the forums somewhere. Its a little dark but I run a white background with bright colors so its still visible. You can also try increasing each value by 5. Works pretty well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1stx2:
Anybody else's gamma color control not showing up? Ever since i left r151, I haven't seen it :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tree of Knowledge:
Phone is definitely a lot cooler with 156. I'm running wifi tether and using the phone heavily and while the phone is still pretty warm, it's not as bad as it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmlhodge:
Will having the color multipliers up to 300 hurt my screen? It's the only way i can get that purple tint to go away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidOnRoids:
For people that are on r156 512 gpu, try Live Wallpapers now! All the stock ICS live wallpapers and Google Play Store ones are pure butter scrolling and transitioning through screens.

I don't know about 384 gpu but 512 surely does the trick. Now live wallpapers are possible! :D

Also, I'm on Winner00's CM9 rom. Maybe his rom and this kernel makes the difference if you guys don't have the same results. But just try it out and see! :)

Using 3800 Trexcell I can get 2 hours of screen time, 2.25 hours of Pandora, and 1.3 hours of voice calls. I'm using aokp m5 with stock light levels adjusted down 10. Kernel on interactive with no hotplug checked. Unfortunately I can't add a PNG in this app or I'd post screenshots. I also keep data running whole time but I live and work right beside a tower. Basically after 14 hours with that use I still have 25% left. Not too bad but could be better.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I hope you guys aren't using data over periods of time and talking about heat. Your radios get very hot and has nothing to do with the kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Are you sure that you're not confusing the placement of the radios with the placement of the processor? I don't know how radios can get hot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
LTE gets HOT. Download a large file and if your phone doesn't get hot then I'll give you a million bucks.

Franco 156 is really good on battery! Outstanding battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Hi tech,I don't know if the radios or the processor is hot but I don't get any heat over wifi. LTE is a different story. I can see gamma rays blasting off my screen when I download anything over 1GB :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Over 1 gb ? That's a lot of porn !

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
If I downloaded 1gb over 4g the phone would go back to 1955 when I hit 88 MPH !

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I think I see the confusion now. Go and download a very large file and then watch your clock speed. You will notice that it will peg the CPU at maximum frequency. That is where the heat is coming from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdoane:
What gamma multiplier is everyone using? I feel like 1.2 is perfect and not to dark on lower brightness levels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
Are there any significant battery life changes with single core vs double core settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
It depends on how you use your phone. If you constantly max out the one core it will be worse on battery life, but if you do very minimal things and never get the single core over 50% (good luck) then single core may save significant battery for you. However, more than likely you will use more juice disabling one of the cores.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnexdude:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flip35:
dam ok finally time to move to r156 ive been running 151 and ive been happy with it pretty much but ive been waiting before updating cuz all of the rest that have come out havent gotten all that great review but lots of good reviews with r156 so time to update, thanx guys for the feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghilliek9:
I think its a little tricky and hard to relate to everybody else because we all use our phones differently and the radio strengths also impact battery life but the reason why I can truly say that 156 is amazing is because I have about 20% extra battery life at the end of the day compared to the previous releases . I consider myself a moderate user but that's very subjective. I think you'll notice a big difference. I do remember 151 being great for me as well but 156 gives me a better battery and a cooler phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
Did you look in settings or through Franco's app? I believe there was an issue with the app identifying M2 & M3. Check your setting to determine which version stuck. Your probably running M2 even though the app says M3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akademix:
What's the majority of everybody using as their settings? Default governor? Generic Hotplug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
So I figured out a possible battery culprit. Whenever navigating through screens and clicking icons I noticed a little sound coming from my phone when I do certain things. I couldn't figure out what the noise was so I put the speaker up to my ear while clicking icons and such and I can hear the loud speaker come on for about 4 seconds and it makes a hissing noise and then I can hear it turn off. I mostly leave my phone on vibrate so I'm not sure why the speaker keeps coming on.

Go to settings

Turn off touch sounds

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
If the processor was getting THAT hot it would throttle it down...that's how it works

The heat is coming from the radios downloading...i don't know if the actual radio is emitting heat but that's what I've always thought.

Cuz even if i set the Min/max to be less than 700 mhz max, it gets hot....and if i have the cover off the back, it gets hot in a different spot than when i an benching...

My x2 did the same thing, (but it was the 3g use that made it blazing hot) if you did a lot of surfing or down loading with 3g it got damn hot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Unless you have a temperature profile programmed it will not throttle down due to temperature unless it goes critical. Just watch it through OS monitor or CPU spy. It nails the CPU at high percentages and usually Max frequency especially with torrent clients.

My phone gets stupid hot in the same place. Just below the earpiece speaker.

If you look at ifixit, step 12 it appears to be the "Samsung KMVYL000LM Multichip Memory Package, which we believe to house 512 MB of RAM in addition to the main processor."

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flip35:
Yup, I'm already noticing the difference, very good batt life n my phone does stay cool, thanx Franco on another great kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
That's just not true. Temperature throttling isn't something you have to "program in". Its there standard. When the CPU temperature reaches 64 C the CPU will massively scale down until it cools off. This value can be changed however, for example I believe Franco has it at around 75 C and Ezekeel let's you set it in his app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
The critical level is programmable as you just stated. What's not true about it? There is a threshold that gets set. When it hits that critical level it throttles downs. You said it yourself, it's gets programmed in by the dev.

The point is that I believe it is the CPU causing the heat. It doesn't make sense that the radios would be causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
can anybody tell me what the stock voltages are and what governor is recommended for 156? i also assume in order to turn on the sound enhancements i need the OP's app? not trying to sound cheap but im broke atm, lol. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
I don't know what the default voltages are set at in 156, but the default governor was changed back to ondemand.

You don't need the app to use the sound enhancements and other features (although it's much more convenient), you just need to know where the settings for those features are located and edit them manually. For high performance sound the path is /sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/highperf_enabled (0 is off, 1 is on). For volume boost, the path is /sys/class/misc/soundcontrol/volume_boost (0 is no boost, 1 to 3 are the values you can set).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flascrnwrtr:
This is running #156 Nightly. Granted, about 5.5 hrs of it is my sleep time, but that's still awesome screen time at that discharge %.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
What I'm saying is its not programmed in. Its there always. Even in the stock kernel. The way your saying it implies that its not. But we're just arguing semantics. By the way, radios will generate heat. If it has electricity going through it to power it... its probably generating heat. And if its using more power, its generating more heat. No idea how this compares to CPU temp though.

well i know setcpu doesn't seem to work with this at all. :(

Ever since updating to Axiom patient zero 2.5 and franco 156 I am consistently getting over 3hrs of screen and 14 hours of use from one charge with the extended battery. Now, if only there was a way to get the battery to charge to 100%. I used francos app to change the value to 100, but it stops between 96-98 and I can bump charge it to 100, but after a minute of being off the charger it drops to 98.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
I hear ya, but the truth is its better for the long term life of the battery it self if it doesn't change to 100%. That's why they make it so hard to do.

Yeah screen on time would be nice, otherwise you just didn't use your phone much in 13hrs.

~ Sent from my GNexus on Aokp ~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Yeah, but I thought the 100%	that we see isn't really 100%, but more like 96%. Just like 0 isn't really 0, but more like 4%. The manufacturers ship them this way so we can't damage the batteries by fully cycling them.

I guess my biggest confusion is that it used to go to 100 before flashing the various roms/kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghilliek9:
Great results.... could you guys give little bit more info such as if you guys browse the internet....play games etc also what from r u guys using....other than axiom and do you have yours undervolted and is it stock battery. I get over 2 he's but surf the net and play some games.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
I'm using 154 384mhz and loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Sounds good to me! Just flashed the r156 nightly.

What ROMs are you guys running? I'm using Eclipse with it. I'll test it out with the extended battery tomorrow and see if I can get a good day's use out of it.

Also, I have a question regarding WiFi. I've been noticing in BetterBatteryStats that my WiFi is usually on for however long my phone has been on give or take a few minutes. 7 hours since phone has turned on = about 6:58:11 for the WiFi being on. I feel like that's something that has been killing my battery.

I'd really prefer not to have to turn it off and then on when I get home or somewhere that has WiFi. Is it the previous kernel that was causing this problem or is it something ROM related? I'm pretty sure that's what ended up hurting my battery the most.
