I have the same issue. My battery life isn't awful by any stretch, but android os has been topping my battery usage since I flashed M1. Even with the phone off the charger for 2 hours, PowerManagerService has caused kernel wakelocks for 11 minutes (about 7.7% of the the time). Isn't this a bit high?

Is this related to apps I've installed or is this a usage a function of the kernel? I cleared dalvik and cache when I first installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
r60 is available with two big changes:

* Changed default RCU to Tree Preempt RCU. According to nikademus RCU_FAST_NOHZ and Preempt can cause some instability when used together, that's why we had the dependencies set by default. Let's see what happens with this

* Removed previous Volume hack and added SoundControl from Ezekeel.

Volume boost: echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/soundcontrol/volume_boost (values range from 0 to 3, no more, no less);

High_performance: echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/soundcontrol/highperf_enabled

App pushed to 3.4.1 to reflect the SoundControl addition. Have fun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgoyena:
Craziness! Yeah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
^^This^^

I asked this question a couple of times and never received any answers. I'll be interested to see if you do. I finally went back to the AOKP (M4) stock kernel and my battery life dramatically improved. Yesterday on build 27 of AOKP and the extended battery, I made it 17 hours with 3:35 of screen on time. That was a personal record.

If I can do something like that consistently, I'd be very happy with the phone. I was unable to do so on Franco. It's a shame, too, because I really like many of the features of the Franco kernel.

Your explanation of volume boost reminded me of The Holy Hand Grenade. No more, no less.

Re: [KERNEL][GPL][5 MAR - #Milestone 1][NIGHTLY - r60] franco.Kernel | 4.0.3/4 |

Hi Franco could you please add touchwake to your app and milestone?

Could you lower the buss speed to 384 or stock because 512 is just too high and who cares about benchmarks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Dunno about touchwake. I already have 3 mods from Ezekeel and I really want this kernel to be different :)

About GPU overclock this 512mhz business is just an experiment and Im more probably just build a similar live oc but just for GPU. All in its time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Ok, thanks for everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IntenseImage:
R60 download keeps failing at end of download. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grady:
Well hopefully we can get an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Great job Franco!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frozinite:
I think this is a bug on the phone but no one knows why. Just keep trying, it's what I do, then eventually it works. Or download onto computer and copy it over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadsterflip:
So this is running on 512 atm? Was milestone at 384? Yea I agree that 384 or stock is plenty enough or an option to increase it via app if possible.

I get amazing battery life with this kernel. Will post pics later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
Are you using M1 or r60?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grim281:
Since flashing r60, call audio has been cutting out for both me and the receiver. Also, when I pick up or make a call, there is around a 15 second lag before I hear anything. Very strange. Back to M1 for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
+ 1 on r60. I flashed it and my incoming calls were a mess. Outgoing seemed to be ok. Reverting back to M1 fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Should be fixed with r61.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
EDIT: My b, didn't read back two pages. Saw everything up to r60.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xerrus:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williamthegoat:
Is anyones screen much more blue after installing n61? This is my first install of the kernel. The settings screen before was black, but since installing this its now blue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
Yeah, there is a bluish tint to this kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
Change gamma to 0 0 0 and you'll have the defaults.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williamthegoat:
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply man. You're doing good work, keep it up. I just picked up the app as well because why not?

Yes it's a small bug, fixing tomorrow not really up to code anymore today ;)

Yep tomorrow as well.

No problem just letting you know. I've got all versions of the app and I just went back one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaming09:
Hey franko, I cant seem to mount the phone to my pc anymore since flashing your kernel, MTP doesnt connect just says the pcs looking for a driver, any chance on fixing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grim281:
If you have usb fast charge on, your pc won't see your phone as a usb device. If that's the case, just uncheck fast charge in the app and try again.

Anyone else having problems with the audio service crashing? I am not sure if its this or something else. I did a fresh install and its still happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
Awesome! thanks. Did you keep the default settings or did you change anything such as voltage, Min/Max CPU?

For example, min CPU is set to 700 but would changing to 350 save more battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaming09:
ah thanks for the info that did it,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Well I usually keep them default like on 18.6 and got amazing bat life, but with m1 I had to go down to 1000 max, min is same at 700. My bat would drain faster while screen on with my max set higher, but better now as in that pic. Im usually not worried bout screen off as my bat never drains but about 1 percent in 8hrs, I monitor drain with screen on which is how I get my long screen on times and unplugged times. All thanks to franco.

Hi sway,you only loose 1% in 8 hours?

Are you cdma or GSM and that's with data off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
That's with using jd so data comes on for my phone to sync then off again, so yeah with data off, which is the only way while in deep sleep that I know of. Sometimes it drains a lil more due to what syncs im guessing but not much.

~ Sent from my GNexus running Aokp~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Thanks the best I can do is 7% in 8 hours with data off sync off? Im giving up trying to figure it out because this is the case for me no matter what kernel or no matter what rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zane_Grey:
Lost ability to download latest nightly as zip for manually flashing with the app update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NintendoSpy:
Fantastic kernel! I think you should add some sort of confirmation message that comes up when you select auto flash. I often find myself accidentally selecting that when I am swiping to another menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeOfTruth:
Question did the change log location change?

I check out the Wiki http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Nexus/GT-I9250/ROMs/FrancoKernel but I do not see any mention about the new nightlies. Sorry If I am missing something I checked a few pages back but I did not see anything.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheanzyy:
I was on r58. However, I would charge the phone and it was at 21%, I unplugged from USB and it went to 8%. I initially had 15-17 hrs of moderate to heavy usage.

Idk if it's the kernel or aokp, but my phone has to be awaken several times for the lockscreen to come on and stay on. Then nothing works on the screen when I touch it, I have to pull the battery. This is a new development, just started today. I've been on m1 kernel and m4 aokp since they both were released. Guess Ima try the latest beta kernel and see what's up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superkeest:
Can anybody tell me what im doing wrong here? Installed this last night at work, left with 91% charge. got home and was using it pretty heavily while watching tv and i got 3 hours of battery.

Ran it dead, and charged it (while off) over night.

Used it for 30 min straight this morning browsing and playing a game, and i was already down to 75%!!!!!

im running bugless beast 4.0.3 franco kernel, min 350 mhz, and 1200 max ghz.

I installed this kernel because of reading on how it improved battery life, and this is just horrible. Should i set min to 700 mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
Getting more than 3 hours of screen time is nearly impossible under any circumstance. The beauty of this kernel imo has been the standby use. If I am not using my phone, I lose almost no battery, seriously like 2-3% over night, but the screen time approaches 2.5 hours i'm probably really low....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
i average about 2min per % of battery life while surfing the internet or other usage... with #11, I was getting closer to 4min per % of battery life.

I know franco reverted some ext patches from #11 to #12 to alleviate some browser crashing issues people were having... hopefully in his next release he can solve that problem and apply the patches.

for now, i think i am personally going to go back to #11
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
you get over 6 hours of screen time? Then I too am doing something wrong....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superkeest:
Just sitting at work with it off the charger, ive been turning it on just to see the battery drain, and im losing 10% per hour

second picture i posted was when i arrived at work 71% at 8am, its now 9 am and im at 58%

(watched one you tube video, other than that just turned on to check battery discharge.)

Maybe ill try #12, im on #11

I also notice that looking at cpu spy:

Unused states: Deep Sleep

Im not sure what that means but im going to assume its not going to sleep all the way.

EDIT: in the last 10 min of screen off on my desk lost 3%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elganja:
get betterbatterystats to see what is causing the partial wakes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razzbaronz:
This is the first time I wiped the system as well as the cache and davlik cache and my battery life is for the first time what other people have been getting. I also disabled a few system apps I don't use (like exchange and news+weather) and haven't installed facebook (I prefer the website). Try this out. I'm not sure whether it was Milestone 2 + Nightly 11/12 or what I did, but a drastic change.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
I thanked this post, but decided that wasn't enough :-)

if you're using this kernel, don't be a cheapskate leech... we're talking a buck sixty-three US. Don't cry me a river about being a poor student -- you lose that much on your dorm room floor every week.

No way to pay in the market? Use paypal and your bank account. No bank account? Get one. don't want to? buy a $25 VISA gift card and put that on your market account.

Too young to do any of that? You shouldn't have an expensive phone like a gnex anyway if you're under 13, but regardless, get your rich dad to spring the enormous $1.63 to pay for what you're using.

There's really no excuse...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Don't know if this affects you as well, but i have very poor 4G/3G signal at work, so no matter which kernel/ROM I'm running my battery gets eaten quickly when I'm there...maybe a general signal quality issue for you as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nize2beme:
Just switched to this kernel, I switch kernels alot (it's a problem) and love the features, already bought the app. ONLY question I have: is it possible to clock to 180 MHZ? I know lean's has 180 enabled (only one as of now that I have seen) and my phone runs fine on 180. Never reboots or doesn't wake so I have been forced to use his kernel and set it to 180 when screen is off, would love to use yours though and have the 180 capability. Might look at how to just do it myself one day too. TY
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
Check your app version, the newest is 1.8, you may have an older version.

No Franco doesnt have it set for 180, he keeps his at 700 minimum so I dont think he even has plans for it, but it has been requested by others so you never know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Remember, 180 is a frequency not a voltage. Knowing the voltage would be more helpful to know as the voltage is really what can make or break a device in stability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
I don't see saving a noticeable amount of battery by under clocking it a lil more, that said 350 is enough.

I will try with 4g off, im sure it will help. I guess i have had 4g on the whole time since installing the kernel

It appears as though alarm manager is causing the wakelocks. but when i try

adb shell dumpsys alarm > AlarmDump.txt i get access denied.

I was also getting wakelocks on audio_1 , but since i have disabled the screen touch sounds and lock screen sounds.

I also disabled face book from auto updating.

Going to keep trying stuff as this is just unacceptable. I might just have to go back to stock, i was atleast getting 8 hours moderate use that way. My goal was to improve that however.

I flashed that latest nightly, 66 I believe and it completely hosed my phone. Upon rebooting when the Franco Kernel animation was playing the graphics were stuttering and there were lines of colors moving up and down the screen. It was clear that this wasn't going to be a good thing. Rebooted into recovery and tried flashing 18.3 which has been the most stable for me. No good. Stuck at the boot animation - indefinitely. Tried other kernel revisions...still no good. Same result. Tried Lean's Kernel. Same result. Now tried flashing AOKP Milestone 4 and same result with the Franco Kernel Animation still being there and just constantly looping - I would have thought it would be removed.

Restoring from a nandroid I did 2 weeks ago. Hopefully no issues when it's done. Obviously not too happy about the whole situation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nerdrum:
Ditto here, after three battery pulls I was able to get to the lock screen with broken graphics and so forth. First actual issue I've ever had with this kernel which sucks because before m4 it was absolutely dead stable with unbelievable battery life. m4 and up have been really, really awful so far.

Really? Cause for me its the exact opposite. M1 was a godsend and the nightlies have been even better.
