On 4g its going wear down, how much is acceptable. I dont know but people getting screen on time 3 hours + have to be on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Are you both using better battery stats, it's helped me several times find the culprit for which is draining my battery. Most of the time is something built in to rom or kernel, but could be a widget or app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
+1 always on auto brightness 75% of the time on 3g only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
My battery dies when I'm on 4g. No matter what kernel. I actually switched to cdma only for today to see if there's going to be a big difference. BUT that's the nature of the beast,we get super fast speed but that speed comes at a cost to battery. I average around 25mbps so all that speed needs power. On wifi your router is doing all the muscle so battery can be relatively good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Hi sway,could you share some of the misbehaving things you've found draining battery. I think it would be cool if we had a thread to report findings like this :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea there are no wake locks are rouge apps. Its just not lasting so long but I NEVER is wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
This is with aokp 26 and franco kernel 18.6, screen at half brightness, 1200 max 700 min, no juice defender this time for me just used aokp power saving feature and it worked well. I could've easily gone over a day but I had to charge for work so I ran it down faster but it would've been the same screen time with over a day im 100% sure. During deep sleep I lose nothing. The new kernel has the battery of 16.2 if not better so that's good.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
It would be useless as every phone is different, that app I mentioned is perfect for finding kernel wake locks and regular wake locks, or whatever else is using battery. I keep my screen at half brightness all the time bc anything lower I can't see and what's the point of this gorgeous screen.

A good kernel for me could be a nightmare for another in battery, a kernel and rom need to settle though after a flash not all the time but most of the time. I spend a lot of time trying different things and im finally starting to see good results you gotta play and tweak a lot to see what your phone likes. I just never uv that's just me, idc about benchmarks at all.

I lose around 20-30% when Deep Sleep (at night) how can i check what is eating the battery? i sometimes leave wi fi open but that is about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Better battery stats app it's free here on a thread just search you'll find it, tells you everything that's eating your battery. The only way you won't lose battery at all or just a small drain is using either juice defender or an app that turns off data while screen is off.

Jd turns it on periodically to pull emails and notifications but only for seconds. But im using aokp's built in power saver feature which is same thing just stays off till I turn screen on. Otherwise data will eat up battery some people are lucky to where they can leave 3g on all the time and get lil to no drain...im not, mine drains.

Any possibility of incorporating the fast charge mode patch in an experimental?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
For reference, I believe he's referring to this patch which I'd also be interested in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jroid:
My galaxy nexus already charges fast as is, how much faster do you want it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
They want it faster when using USB like from a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alphanu22:
i have hotplug mod on and it charges hekka fast for me-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
More importantly, when using an MHL adapter (potentially one that needs to be modified, but that's easy). The other big use case is for cheap car chargers that charge in low power mode (easy enough to mod the chargers in most cases, but software would be nice) and the security side effect of disabling data connections when charging using unknown sources like airport charge stations.

Downloaded better battery status to try and solve my batter issue. Wth is audio out? To the guys with great battery life do y'all not use your phones? Also I didn't wipe dalvik when I flashed this kernel do I need to wipe dalvik then reflash?

Franco,

Just downloaded the new app and i noticed the suggested color values changed but did you mean 10 for the blue gamma or is 1 the correct suggestion? I tried it at one and it made everything look dull and washed out compared to the old settings.

Also, it doesn't let me enter any values it the new multiplier entry boxes. The keyboard doesn't open up when you click on the boxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Try everything on my post with my pics above, and use aokp power saving feature where it turns off data when screen is off. This feature is good but has some bugs with wifi so don't worry, it keeps it off sometimes.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KassaNovaKaine:
Anyone have advice for someone who's been progressively having bad drains for the past few updates? I can't remember the exact version where it started going downhill, but I think it was somewhere between 16 and 17.

I used to have around .7% drain per hour on idle, and now it's getting almost as high as 2%. My phone has been going into deep sleep when necessary, so I don't know why my battery is so terrible now. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, battery stats -- to no avail.

There a way to 'reset' and start over without the obvious method of resetting my entire phone and data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drkknight74:
I can get 4hours screen on time with wifi but if I use 3g or 4g I can barely get 2 hours. I wonder if he was on wifi, if not it has to be a miracle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
I had wifi on while I was at home but as posted a few times already my data gets turned off while my screen is off, so when im out or at work and so on... 3g is on. I never have 4g on that's just throwing away battery, unless I need it for some big file.

~ Sent from my GNexus running Aokp~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Id do a fresh install of rom and kernel, it helps a lot. It only erases your rom crap so the rest of your files are safe. Just let Google load everything back up, I do and it takes no time like apps and numbers. Setting it up after it all downloads is the toughest part how you had it before.

~ Sent from my GNexus running Aokp~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KassaNovaKaine:
Fresh installing a ROM I know how to do, but what about the kernel? I'm on AOKP, but I don't know if fresh installing their latest build includes its own specialized kernel. If they do, is that all I need?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pauliewalnutted:
I can't believe I made it thru today without a charging. I haven't used my phone this much in a day since having it. (Wi-Fi about 3/4 if day, at %50 brightness). You've outdone yourself again Franco!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Yes I've got one. Ill tell you what happened to me.

I flashed another kernel yesterday to get a comparison after reading lots of good stuff on it. I obviously flashed back and even used faux reset kernel. I got horrible drain on a kernel I knew had good battery life because I tested a day before. Because I knew it was phenomenal on battery I decided to just reflash my rom with out wiping data so the rom script would clean up the system. After the flash Gapps flash and before leaving recovery Franco's kernel flash I now have good battery like I did before letting my curiosity getting the best of me by trying another kernel :o

Day 2 and all is well. Hope this can help.

Another thing people should know is if you dont want the sound hack then buy franco's app and you can set it where you want it.YOU MUST REBOOTS IF YOU CHANGE THE NUMBER OR IT WILL SOUND LIKE ****. After the reboot its perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Its got its own kernel but you can flash franco's just like you flashed your rom. Some thing's to remember if your new. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing anything and make a backup of your rom. I like to set everything up the way I want it in case I want to return and READ READ AND READ SOME MORE! That's the best way to prepare for worst case scenarios. This stuff is relatively safe but I like to be extra safe;) this is my 5 rooted and customized software phone and I've flashed 100's of roms and kernels but I still dont ever want to get cocky and think I know anything :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
One thing only - MHL adapters. I can't use one without draining my battery which defeats the purpose of using it if my phone will be dead by the time I'm done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
It should be charging your phone? That's weird,maybe a bad adapter

I bought a ****y samsung adapter from Amazon, I think they got me and sold me a refurbish. I bought a skiva from Amazon and it works perfect no drooping screen and it charges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
Mine will charge, but it charges at a slower rate than the discharge rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Weird bug,if you guys have CDMA only checked in your rom settings and your getting battery drain then uncheck it and see what happens

Franco's kernel does not like CDMA only for me. Used like 50% kernel usage looking at it through badass battery monitor, turned CDMA only back to CDMA /LTE and looked back at the kernel usage and it went down to 8%, strange might have something to do with imsoseys wake tweak? But what do I know :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Can we add the fast charge patch to this kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddschmidt:
Hello, I am experiencing an interesting issue with 18.6. Sometimes randomly, the phone will show that it is charging when the phone is nor was on a charger anytime close. Does anyone know what would cause this and if there are any fixes?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I will never give up on this kernel because over the past year I've really grown to love all of franco's kernels on all my devices. Has anyone found any battery draining apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danman7:
I believe I may have discovered one. An item that consistently showed up as running under the kernel process was khubd. Google search showed this to have something to do with the USB ports. On a hunch, I uninstalled stickmount and khubd seems to have decreased it's activity. It is only a start, I hope to identify more issues, but it appears like it will be a time consuming process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Ill be looking also. I removed battery monitor by 3C and bad ass battery stats im going to throw it on the charger now and let it drain to see what happens. I've got to find what's going on because I listen to a lot of music and the hack is such a help with sound and sound quality There are many great kernels but none perform as well and dont bring so many features. Please anyone who found any battery hog apps please share with your fellow members

ok my battery issue seem to have gotten better. havent used the phone much but i have 80% after 8 hours. this is with wifi and sync off. i always turn them off when i leave home. usually my phone is down to around 50%. so idk the highest partial wakelock is audioout_1. anyone know what this is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HIcycles:
Remember, your screen is 4.65". It's gonna drain your battery if it's on. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Every time I am listening to music with my screen off (google music, music app, etc), audioout_1 equals to that exact time the music was playing when screen off. So I believe that is what causes it... were you at all listening to music with screen off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedfreak228:
Haven't listened to music in 3 days. Happy with battery life today. Seems pretty good. What yall think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Probably good if it felt good but if you go to screen on and show what screen on time is that is another great way to show off your stats
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Reset my phone completely, installed AOKP M3, franco 18.6 and music still isn't working. Kernel or ROM related?

EDIT: Just started eorking all of a sudden. Next question I have, will 1000 max give me better battery than 1200?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcdisciple:
I use Volume+, I wish there was a way to disable the kernel volume settings in the app.

If you use AUX and you have the volume all the way up it pauses your music. You have to keep your volume in your device between 50-70 so it won't pause it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upther:
Or you have to keep the kernel hack at around 12-13 depending on the music. You still get a little sound boost but not the max level. Seems almost like it's a safety feature to pause the music if it's too loud for the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Im using 1200 max and 700 which is default for franco depending on what version and I think you've seen my results. I don't see going to 1000 helping noticeably, 350 min might but id try both to see.

~ Sent from my GNexus running Aokp~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
In recent posts its been stated that 700 is better than 350
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
You can set the volume hack back to stock 0 in his app. Make sure to reboot after you change the number.

For the record I've used volume + paid and dsp manager but the hack is a million times better. I listen to lots of music ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klisp:
Hi everyone

Just donated to Franco...keep up the great work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I use default settings and battery life is the same as setting it to 350. Franco would set it at 350 if he felt battery life would suffer, he also has been in school for some time now learning programming!

Its safe to say he's probably not shooting from the hip on this subject. In short your going to benefit from your minimum at 700. If your not touching your phone its in idle state and you might see the CPU at 700 but in idle state so nothing is going on until you press something. When the cpu needs to scale up to complete its task it can finish faster in turn saving battery, very minimal but lots of minimals is what the name of the game is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franciscofranco:
You'll get a lot better savings using 1000 max than 350min.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Are you saying 1000 max will be good savings, or 350 min is **** savings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Donated franco, thanks a lot I really appreciate all your work and 18 XXXX Versions have been in a league of there own!;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
All he is saying is having a Max at 1000 will save more battery than 1200

I bet he still suggest 700 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rootuser3.0:
When I enable hot plug and listen to music with the screen off my volume gets lower I'm on 18.6 and using volume+ anyone else experience this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
I am using volume+ as well as have flashed 18.6 Is there a way to bypass this and enable music playback at all volumes if a headset is connected? I understand you don't want to blow your speakers out, but it should see if you are connected to a headset and allow full volume playback if so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
yeah I'm having some issues with sound. I haven't tweaked the sound but occasionally, the max volume would be set to some ridiculous low value and so I have to BLAST the audio in my car. If I reset the phone, it's fixed.....for a certain amount of time. I never saw this before in the 18.2 kernel.

I did also experience that max volume causes my audio to pause. I didn't realize it was max volume until i read the previous posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
Yeah, realizing same thing myself. Was very strange when it was happening, couldn't figure out wtf was wrong with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rootuser3.0:
Franco digging the boot animation with the app however what would also be dope is if you had a live wallpaper with the app that can be toggled/enabled through the app I would pay extra for this !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjb413:
Also noticed this on Franco 18.6 and aokp 27. I found that I don't have to reset all the way. If while music is playing u unplug and plug the audio out back in, it comes back at full volume for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upther:
The better option is to just pause for a second or two and then hit play again. It saves the wear and tear on the contacts in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
Im on aokp 27. What version of Franco Kernel is the most stable and best for battery life? His latest seems to have alot of problems and the volume tweak was way too loud.. dont want to blow my speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Does this seem like descent battery for 18.6?I let my phone sit overnight. It dropped only 1% with i think 18.4. 18.6 dropped a bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lenard_hester:
This sound thing is very annoying. Can we have the sound hack removed or at least make it configurable so those of us who want to turn it off can?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
If you want to set your sound back to normal just get the app change the number to 0 and reboot your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
This kernel gets amazing battery but if I switch to CDMA only I experienced weird drain bug.I just turn my data on or off. I see you were on wifi but what did you have your radio set at?

Could you post 18.4 I'm case I get the bug again and want to go back? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lenard_hester:
Unfortunately, that does not work. I set to 0, rebooted, started playing music (using headphones, volume at 1/4), music plays fine. Unplug my headphones to walk away from my desk, come back and start new song, volume cannot be heard. I turn it up to about 3/4 to get the sound level I was getting before at 1/4. If I get a notification, the sound jumps back up to its previous level.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I just have stock radio. I've never flashed any and I don't have screenies from 18.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magnus_CA:
