So last night, I updated to M3, and had my phone charge all night. In the morning, I unplugged it, and turned on Airplane mode (I do this every school day since I'm terrified my phone will ring in class, and plus it saves battery). At the end of the day, I take out my phone, and it is strangely powered off. When I turn it on, the battery is dead. Usually, my battery goes down only about 5% during school. I have hot plug enabled, and my phone runs at 384-729 when the screen is off. What the heck is going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I love Franco's conservative! I think its very fast on the UI and interactive is amazing also. I would like to know what's best on battery? My common sense says conservative but when I go in system panel and watch how both scale the CPU it looks as if interactive would be better on battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Download CPU spy free from the market and see what your phone is doing. My first guess is that your phone is not entering deep sleep. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and that should clear you up. It happened to me with M1, IIRC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
If your in a week signal area and in in airplane mode then radios to weird stuff. I've seen this weird bug that drains my battery if go in airplane mode with CDMA only checked in a week signal area. This isn't kernel related but buggy radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
Hate to quote myself, but I'm still wondering...

Also, I've read a LOT of this thread, as well as double checked the OP and Franco's wiki, but I would appreciate the ever living **** out of a (semi-)detailed explanation of the difference in each governor. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
So, instead of helping me, you send me to dig through a different thread, which I, understandably, haven't looked through already, since it's not even in the correct subforum for my device? High five.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maurogg84:
if the governor has a hotplug ability, you don't need to set the generic hotplug

You are not alone... I'd love such an explanation too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
We will get a roadmap Franco said.

I can only assume that's the governor settings (explained)

will be involved.

If you read the op, and actually follow the Devs on other social platforms (Google +,Twitter, ect...) you can actually ASK him and get a quick answer. :). Also his email is not hard to find either.

Please stop and think of all of your communication OPTIONS before comments.

It kinda comes off as Using a person.

( expecially if you didn't donate)

We get technical support way better than our carrier providers gives us.)

So use every outlet that you can,and Learn about what you're putting on your device seeing that it is a high end device.

Franco supports quite a few devices, and apps. So he has been successful .

But with success comes no time to reflect...

I've also had crappy battery life with m3 with four different govenors. Think I'll be going back to one of the nightlys between 138 and 141.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drPheta:
Milestone 3 has been draining my battery, even with my phone plugged into the USB port on my computer... and the screen is off. Over the course of 1 hour I lost about 1%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
Here's some more praise for Milestone 3: I haven't had any more WiFi problems since flashing it. However, I'm beginning to think my WiFi problems were because of the 512 MHz nightlies I was running, I didn't start having problems until I started using them. I guess my phone can't quite handle 512.

If I wanted to try out hot plug should I try the hot plug governor or generic hot plug with interactive gov? What's getting better results for people

It varies user to user. All depends on how u use your phone. Try one out tomorrow and the other on Sunday and try and use your phone as normal as u usually do Monday-Friday and see what seems better. Sorry for not having an answer u want

+1 for a dip in battery longevity on M3. I have about 29 minutes worth of kernel wakelock between "modem_USB_suspend_block" and "modem_USB_gpio_wake". I have about 10% battery left with 2hr 15 minutes of on screen time.

Anyone else having wakelocks like this on M3?

+1 I agree, im already over a day on one charge with over 2hrs screen on time (bc of some signal loss where I was) otherwise it'd be more. I haven't gotten that since 131 or around that. I did a fresh install with rom also, which I say makes all the difference imo.

Does anyone know where I can download some of Franco's older kernels, like his 18.2, or 18.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidholic:
Franco, I am a big fan of your kernels but there's one issue I have noticed with almost every kernel of yours.

I use my 4G a lot. In fact, sometimes I am simultaneously using my phone while having my laptop connected to my 4G.

But, I have noticed that, with your kernels, as soon as I start using my phone while connected on 4G, I lose Internet connection on my laptop.

I don't have this issue when I use other kernel like Imoseyon's or the CMPlus kernel. I will send you a log.

This issue is keeping me from using your kernels since I absolutely need to be able to use these two things simultaneously.

Nonetheless you are one amazing dev and am a fan of your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drPheta:
Just an update:

I wiped my Dalvik Cache and reflashed the ROM and Kernel. Things seem better, but I'll leave it at a week this way to see how it fares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxxdc5:
Decided to go from MS2 to nightly 138 rather than MS3 after reading the posts. So far I haven't had any adverse effects.

Went back to 141 and back to awesome battery life. Not sure what changed between 141 and 143 but it greatly affected my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Can someone post what all the regulator voltages do? I see in the milestone 3 changelog that two areas were dropped, however I am wondering how people know these are for the screen? I can see a VAUX3, but I also see a VAUX1 to change. So why not that one? And VUSIM would seem to me like it is voltage for the SIM card rather than the display, so how do people find out what these voltages are actually for? I also see a VDAC and VMMC which would seem like the DAC chip and eMMC memory chips to me, but whos to say what they really are?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Just reboot with set on boot UNCHECKED and you'll be back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
There's some info/indication of what they do in the source, and some of it is guessing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
Francisco, looks like an error in the change log. That isn't the path for the BLX mod :-)

Downloading 151 now. Both 143 and M3 working great with latest liquid (and bamf for that matter. Can't decide between those two at the moment, but currently leaning towards liquid)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Just installed 151 and I figured there would be a lot of lock screen lag while using the 192 mhz frequency but this is not the case at all. I'll keep checking for sod and music playback skip.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
It depends on your governor. If you use interactive yout minimum barely matters you'll rarely ever see lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Wow. It plays and streams music at 192 even with the screen on ! No skips , interruptions or lag.

The true test will be tonight at work to see if it drops 4g

I'm on on demand. It throttles back down to 192 right away.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotnikkelz:
milestone 3 took a hit on my battery when phone is idle.

I'm not knowledgeable about these things, so everything was left at franco default basically. All i do is try different govenors heh

Previously while I sleep I'll probably lose around 5% battery for the most. Now I lose around 10-15% while idle.

How do I get the former nightlies? like 121? I heard people say they get the best battery life from that. I'd like to try my luck.

With the latest nightly, I see the option to get 384 GPU or 512 GPU? is this an overclocking of the GPU? Is there a noticeable benefit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
Let it ride a couple days before you jump ship to another version of the kernel. I find that when I first flash the kernel I get quick drops in my battery life but after a few days of use (or a few charge cycles depending on how heavily you use your phone) it settles out and works great.

Franco has been offering 384/512 for this kernel for a while, they are technically both overclocking of the GPU, only a little less so for the 384 version.

Also, there's a link in the OP for the nightlies. They're all listed there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotnikkelz:
I was referring to M3. I've been using it since it came out, hence my observations with it. That was why I was wondering if I should try out the nightly.

Ooo, original post hahahah thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
Gotcha, so you've been on M3 for a while. I've not tried it yet. I'm on 133 and it's working great for me. I had it off the charger overnight last night for about 7-8 hours and lost 2%. I've heard 121 is good though too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Try the newest nightly. It fixed all the battery drain problems I had. And the gpu overclock helps with scrolling and games. Helps smooth things out some.

Galaxy Nexus & ASUS Transformer Rooted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotnikkelz:
Will add 133 to the list to try then. I'm gonna test 121 for a week or so and see, then i'll try the latest nightly and see how that does :)

Franco, do you mind the option to download and/or flash all the other old nightlies via your app?

Hopefully I'm not asking too much :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
Can it be enabled and disabled using the toggle in aokp? or is that borked and always on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Holy ****! This color hack is the real deal. The dark gamma makes the colors richer and bright like the old nexus s days.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
Don't think it brightens the colors. Definitely makes everything darker. Anything over 6 looks to be too dark, adversely effecting icons, pictures and the keyboard (at least for my liking). Although the hack does make blacks deeper (6+). Still trying to determine whether it changes the overall look for the better.

Edit: (level 6) on full brightness, the mod looks awesome. Blacks are deep, and colors remain vivid. Auto brightness unfortunately does not have as good of effect...blacks are still deep but the mod seems to mute the colors a bit. Btw, I keep my color settings at default, aside from my blue multiplier which I boost an additional 50-75 points in order to make colors really pop.....especially on full brightness.

I'll probably keep the 6 going for awhile. I like the slightly deeper blacks and the effect on colors is more subtle than the higher settings. I'd definitely recommend the mod for anyone that has a dark theme and would like deeper blacks while utilizing a high brightness setting on their device..... which oddly enough does not work against those deeper blacks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I never use auto brightness and never cared for the other color hacks but FOR ME on stock colors this gamma setting improves color big time. This reminds me of supercurios voodoo gamma color hack on my old vibrant, nexus s. Definitely helps to raise the brightness up some
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
I'm not sure how a mod that makes the screen darker can at the same time brighten colors. But I suppose it depends on the devices original settings if that's the case. Idk ?

Either way, options are always good and I agree the mod should be included in the app. Nice innovative feature Franco. One more thing to play with, and here at XDA, we like to play.

I have Francos app and was wondering what the best way of flashing this was. Should I auto-flash or should I download the Kernel to my .zip and then reboot into recovery and flash it that way?

*Edit: I just read his post where it says I don't have to wipe anything so disregard the second part of the question. The main question is, what is the difference between auto-flashing or installing from .zip? Also, should I download nightlies using 384 mhz GPU or 512 mhz GPU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EDNYLaw:
No difference, auto flash is just dummy proof. The difference in the GPU is just how much it's overclocked. Some phones can't handle 512. Make a nandroid and flash 512 or just stick with the 384. My phone loves 512 and its snappy as hell running Droid Th3ory's Patient Zero V20

I used cm9 for a while, and cm7.x on my other phones. It's fast and stable yes I agree, but to say this rom is not fast and stable is just crazy. Everyones got there opinion but Aokp is very fast, smooth, and extremely stable. Cm9 is still in early stages which is why it doesn't have a bunch of features yet, which it will. So you can't blow off aokp bc it's got features you don't need either, bc cm9 will have some of these if not more.

I'm running r151 on liquid 1.35 and I have it set to the minimum at 192 MHz using generic Hotplug and the interactive gov.

I'm using CPU spy to monitor where my phone is and i have noticed that since flashing r151 I'm not entering "Deep Sleep" like I was at milestone 3 but I'm still chilling about 75% of the time at 192MHz.

Does that sound about right? Does it even matter that I'm not entering "deep sleep" but instead just staying at 192MHz... are they not the same thing? I wonder this because I see people saying that they lose only 1% an hour which in the three days I have had this phone seems crazy to me.
