[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
Can someone tell me if this kernel has some sort of quick charging feature? My phone seems to charge WAY faster than by Incredible did on a smaller battery.

I checked the OP but all that stuff might as well be greek (or Italian) to me. Maybe my battery is messed up?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I'm thinking you may have to calibrate your battery. This phone charges slowly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
Can you point me to directions on how to collaborate it properly?

I've had it plugged in for about an hour from dead this morning and it's already at 70%

Thanks

wearing down the battery now.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
No problem. There is a lot of info that says draining the battery is bad an such. That is why I included the original thread as well, but I felt one complete drain is for the greater good. Also, don't forget to charge the phone to 100 when flashing ROMs, kernels can be flashed whenever, but ROMs should be flashed at 100.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
Never knew about the ROM 100% thing. Good to know.

This phone has been giving me nothing but problems- Battery has been awful, always dying on me over night. Went to bed last night with it on 50%, woke up this morning 30 mins late cuz my phone died: no alarm.

I have TB set to do a nightly backup followed by a reboot, so I have no idea what might have caused battery drain seeing as nothing should have been running once it booted up (unless it's because of the camera?).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
Perhaps you should take a closer look at what thread you're in first, maybe the OP has already answered the question that you and many others have asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Still there.

Ran into it in chapter 5 on Deadspace on gummynex 0.5.0 with franco#12. Only way I could get the game to work right again was to completely wipe it, install it fresh, and play from the beginning. Almost to chap5 again, we'll see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcg611:
is this compatible with stock rooted 4.0.2 cdma? Flashed and stuck at Google screen for over 5min before I reverted.. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
Read the title, 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
Never had a multi touch issue, I get up to 10 touches
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
That is normal for this phone. There are some out there that get 1-2% of battery drain, but that is usually with a hotplug enabled kernel and nothing else going on. These phones will get 20 hours of standby. However, I only ever got about 8 hours of normal use out of this phone. I end up having to charge it at work and I always charge it when I go to bed. The biggest issue is the screen. It takes a lot of juice to use it. I have mine set to <50% at all times. Plus if you are in an area with sketchy 4G, change the mobile network to CDMA only and it will really help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwallersv:
Just tried this gamma from Franco's app, and I gotta say, Franco is my kinda people :-)

Status feedback message from app: "BOOM! New colors!"

Yeah, man! All software should have some personality to it like that. 99.999999% is so sterile and mechanical in its interaction with the user. You'd never know there were actual human beings behind its existence.

BTW, I like the -10,0,-2 gamma better too :thumbup:

I agree 100% with you assessment of his posts.

I don't support the name-calling to which you were so easily provoked, and frankly it makes you look bad too. :o

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

You're talking about the Gummynex ROM, methinks, not Franco's kernel.

Unless I'm having some major brainfart :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcg611:
Ha ha thanks! Sometimes the obvious isn't obvious..read all through the OP and missed it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownPleasures:
Made my screen very GREEN. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Try and take a screen of it though...does it appear normal.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevdog:
Is iptables included in the kernel or is this a rom thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exzacklyright:
I see people talking about a GPU #... where do you adjust that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
You can't adjust that by changing settings, those are two different kernel builds. If you download using the app, it asks you which one you want. If you download from the link in the OP, the ones listed are the 512 MHz builds, the 384 MHz builds are in a separate folder at the bottom. I believe Milestone builds have stock GPU (307 MHz).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Oh, you have a Galaxy Tab... Sorry, I thought you meant Viewsonic's G-Tab
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flytechguy:
Francisco, not sure if it's been made aware but modifications to the voltage in your app do not stick after a reboot. They have to be re-applied. If there's a solution to this, my apologies. Thanks. Your kernel is indeed the best. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Well it's certainly not the best battery life anyone's gotten, but I think it's pretty solid, especially considering I was on 4g the entire time. No powersave or wifi and I don't think I even dropped down to 3g at any point either. AOKP M5 with franco n158 (384 MHz GPU), auto-brightness with light sensor and light decrease enabled, inverted gapps, and nexus revamped live wallpaper with black background.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
He did that on purpose, so people wouldn't apply unstable voltage settings that stick on reboot and get you stuck in a bootloop. If you want them to stick, many ROMs have voltage control built in (in AOKP, Settings>ROM Control>Performance>Voltage Control, then click "Set On Boot"), otherwise you can use SetCPU (and again click "Set On Boot").

However, you're probably better off just letting SmartReflex calibrate the voltages. Many people (including myself) have tried going lower than SmartReflex and haven't noticed any improvement in battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
Yeah that's on purpose.

That's idiot proofing in action
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sveke:
This too ^^^^^^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PacerguyDon:
Looks pretty dang good to me :cool:

I assume that is with the extended battery though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
What settings were you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. It is with the Samsung 2100 mAh extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
...and performance starts to suffer , even if I manually set the voltages to what sr suggests. Let sr do its thing and don't worry about voltages.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Same here. I disabled smartreflex altogether. The battery savings (minimal if any) wasn't enough to make up for the occasional lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
In addition to the settings I mentioned previously, Interactive governor, 384 MHz min CPU, 1228 MHz max CPU, 1.2 Gamma, SmartReflex calibrated voltages. That's all of the important settings that I can think of, but let me know if you're interested in something in particular.

What I think makes the biggest difference for screen on battery life is using black or dark backgrounds for everything possible; they use way less battery. For news, I use Taptu with the dark theme, making the text of articles white and the background black. For GApps, I tried the Blue Infinitum theme, but I didn't like how it made backgrounds black that were already dark (e.g. the background of the Settings menu) or changed the look of the navigation buttons. So instead I installed just the inverted apps for ones that normally had a lot of white (e.g. gmail, talk, voice, contacts, etc.) in the background and ever since my battery life has been stellar. Additionally, I chose a live wallpaper that allows you to select the background color (Nexus Revamped, for screenshot see attached) and set it to black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daralph:
considering you had LTE on most of the time its impressive.

i'm on a gsm model an have been on wifi for the most time, but for me 162 is in terms of battery quite decent maybe on the same level as 151
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neos_83:
I have this happening to me too! Anyone else notice this? It means sometimes I don't get any email from my gmail while my phone is alseep, until I turn my screen on and the bar becomes blue after 2-3 secs.

My data is still working while in sleep because I still get whatsapp/facebook notifications, its just the google sync which is effected I believe (hence the grey bars)

I'm not sure if this is due to my kernel or rom. I have franco 162 and AOKP m5

EDIT: didn't realise I posted this in the Verizon thread. Its actually happening to me on GSM Galaxy Nexus, but the issue is exactly the same

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VinceT3:
Thus far this (162) is the best iteration for me.. I charged up and messed with my phone from 100% down to 73%, on auto dim, WiFi on my local network and got 1 hour and 23 minutes of screen time.. basically was on my way to around 5 hours screen time.. pretty darn good... I have the extended battery, on Verizon's LTE network, and using CM9..

I've never gotten more than 3hrs screen time prior to this version..

however if I let it run down normally I might have only gotten 3hrs w/ everything else I do.. my CYA ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flytechguy:
Yes, second time that it's happened with 162... staying on 161 to see if it reoccurs.

weird how they seem to differ from what a few others say. what rom and version of the kernel are you using?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Personal preferences and differences in screen quality play a big role. For instance , the colors in my wife's phone are washed compared to mine (screen defect ) so I had to set her multipliers in the 320 s and the omap gamma at 1.6 to make it look vivid.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
hey guys Im new to the Franco kernel. And I'll be buying his app too, due to the extra features.

From looking around thru the threads, I see people talking about settings etc. What are some good settings to start with? Im on Verizon LTE nexus and Im going to run AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjskalet:
as far as governors, i have always used conservative, 729-1036
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
To start? Just leave it at the defaults and see how it does. If nothing else that will give you a baseline to compare against.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frozinite:
What rom allows customization of the auto brightness setting? I saw another poster attach a pic of their auto brightness settings bit its not an available option in aokp (unless I'm just blind?). If not, is there an app that can do the same?

I really like letting auto do the work, but the current defaults are brighter than necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
Liquid and cm9 are two that have that feature.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Aokp does have. Setting -display- automatic backlight
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NinjaMic:
From what I'm looking at, by barely using the phone at all, and having a low signal 3G ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
How come my phone never pushes past 99% charged? Even when its left on the charger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
It is supposed to be a battery saving measure to prevent the battery from dying too quickly. These batteries are not supposed to be fully charged or deep cycled as it causes them to die quicker... despite the fact that the manufacturer makes 0% not zero and 100% not 100% to avoid these types of issues, but I digress.

Even with Franco's app I am not able to charge to 100 even though the battery extender option says 100. However, if I bump charge it, it will go to 100, but drops to 98% within a minute after being taken off charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
thanks. What all should I be using ( app wise ) to ensure the kernel is allowing deep sleep etc. Should I turn off radios too? Anything like juice defender worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I use CPUSpy:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result

It shows you the time spent in each state. If you find that you are not deep sleeping, reboot into recovery and wipe both caches.

I don't turn off anything. I bought a smartphone for a reason, to be connected. Therefore, I have everything sync and almost everything set to push. Some ROMs including a powersave option that controls when the phone syncs, which I think you will find useful if you don't want push taking up extra juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Thanks. I also noticed that when I unlock the screen and goto my menu I get a tad of lag.. normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Do you have Franco's App? If so, what speeds are you running, which governor and are you undervolting/using smartreflex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
I dont have his app yet. Im going to run this kernel for a few days and charge cycles and then see if it likes my phone or not. Do these phones get that 10% drop initally like my HTC Evo did? Reason I ask it because I made three calls, one call was 30 seconds, the other two were just calls and they didnt asnwer. phone has been on 1:55, and deep sleep 1:45 Im at 95%.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
I've realized it's not the kernel killing my battery. It's apparently the radio killing my battery. I've tried several different kernels other than Franco, and apparently when I look at BABattery, it's showing that most of the power/time is going towards the radio which doesn't make sense seeing as how I have great coverage everywhere. Sometimes the phone gets extremely warm for what seems like absolutely no reason.

I'm going to restore my phone to complete stock and then proceed to start out from complete scratch instead of restoring app backups. It'll take some time, but it'll be worth it in the end to get great battery life with this awesome kernel.

:)

Thanks for the latest update. I just tried it, but it's still giving me battery drain so I'll report back when I fix my phone and then test that kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
You have a phone like my wife's . I set her omap gamma to 1.6 and the color multipliers to 320,330 and 340. That helped the contrast and color intensity a lot.

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
how do you set it to 1.6 as i do not have franco's app? also won't your settings cause lcd burn in? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
No evidence that it does. What left a little burn in for me was leaving a flash video paused for ten minutes with the screen on.

I'm gonna check the op regarding the command for setting gamma.

Another recommendation is to install blue Infinitum with theme chooser. All it does is turn your phone ,frames and system backgrounds to pure black. Or choose a theme that does the same thing

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
On a side note the app is well worth the money. It gives you total control over the kernel and most of its settings will also work with IMO s kernel.

My phone doesn't seem to love 163. It doesn't hate it, but it's not mind blowing. I had great results from 156, but I think 154 was even better (for me, at least). I think I'm going to finish the day on 163 then go back to 154 and see if it's as awesome as I remember.

So are people having a better time with using the Nightlies than the Milestone 3? Loving the kernal but I'm on a quest to make my phone last all day. Brightness isn't on to high and 4g off with wifi off unless i know wifi is around. Texting regularly and a phone call here and there is all i get. On standby it does awesome but using it i see it drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jordanelliott84:
His nightlies for me have almost always been better. And as far as a battery lasting all day... I mean if I have only an hour or two of screen on time the entire day it will last all day, but I do not think many smart phones last all day if they are indeed being used regularly. I stream google music to and from work, text while at work, don't really play game because I have an iPad, and I mess with my phone a lot throughout the day changing my layout and what not and I usually get from about 930 or so in the morning til about 4 to 5 if I am using it a lot, and if I am only sending a few texts, with a few calls and not much else it will indeed last over a day. Just depends on screen on time mostly. Don't know if any of that helps you. But I would use wifi whenever possible, turn off sync and darken your colors on your screen if you are super concerned with batt life. I have two batteries so it doesn't really bother me. I leave everything going full blast mostly all day except 4g I toggle off when not downloading anything

Are you serious? I'm not a programmer or developer by any stretch of the imagination but I thought what he said was pretty straightforward. Franco was nice enough to answer your question, you don't have to be an ass about it. If r165 is working well for you, then don't upgrade if you don't want to; the changes since then have been pretty minor, so it shouldn't really matter.
