I was about to say it might be your battery from the sound of it... it still might tbh..

but you answered your own question - cm7... dude thats GB not ICS lol :p

ICS is a vastly different beast! I loved cyan on the N1 and i could easly pull over a weeks worth of 1 charge battery run with light usage.

Ics is a power $^%& hungry os... I admit that your usage isnt right for 1 charge though clean. hence why im leaning towards battery just ailing...it happens unfortunatly. still on guarantee??

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

*********************************************************

I play around with different kernels a lot. that was on speedy-4 actually.

version-5 seems much better but i havent done my idoling light usage tests yet.

setup atm is this:

Phone is a canadian i9020T

Cyber's .4 rom (havent upgraded yet - i found everything was flawless and had no issues anyone else were experiencing, tether broke due to internal kernel.)

Flashed eugene's speedy-5 kernel - noop BLN ON version (right over the orig rom. wipe cache twice to install. nothing else. This was to 100% fix the tethering. everything else is flawlessly working)

NS Tools

scheduler is noop, gov is lulzactive, no OC cuz phone is fast enough as it is running 100/1000.

lulz config is 60%, 1 step up, 1 step down, screen off 6@400, upSample 20000us, downSample 40000us.

Voltage is checked use from kernel. Persist on reboots. BLN dimmer OFF, notification on, touchwake off.

Wireless/BT/GPS/rotatescreen OFF

Default everything in the cyber-mod control. didnt touch anything!

Firewall installed (droidwall) - my 3G is always on.

everything

blocked for connections except messaging, mms, email (built in yellow one non-gmail) set to sync every 15min push/pull and google wallet. nothing uses data except for those things. never busted my cap yet.

using those settings basically with only some phone calls, a few messages and emails, i can hit the screenshot battery life. Note this is not a very good "real world" person test.. i mean common.. but for a good real life battery test on what would be considered very light usage, its a excellent IMO way of verification.

Drawbacks? sure tiny ones. sometimes the phone will stutter

totally randomly

and i emphasis that - randomly. just a slight stutter here or there. but who cares if it goes laggy for 1 second when opening a heavy program lol... I already know thats because of the way noop handles the demands. so its really no surprise!

When im using the phone and not being a total scrooge for testing lol... i get about a day and a half of medium usage. I'll usually pop the charger at work around lunch the next day. Thats wifi, emails, a few quick game sessions some browsing etc.. screen on is the killer sadly. but we all know that!

Hope that helps gentlemen ;) I'm happy about this rom- thanks again cyber it's excellent! If you are ever around I'll be glad to buy you a coffee and a doughnut with the google wallet :p :D

Hello Cyber​​, I tried the V5 but it's very slow on my nexus, the better the V4

EDIT: phone on standby throughout the night with wifi turned on but not connected to the router.

Sorry and translated with Google!
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
start testing this with speedy 6 sio/lulzactive v2. first impression is it works just fine.

@ the people complaining about various errors/lag/battery make sure you do a CLEAN instal(SD card also) and remember clockwork doesnt do proper format ll the time from the first time so make sure you wipe/format everything twice. if you stick to these steps you should have an issue

@matrix888 did you try to change the scheduler/governor? wich ones you use?
[Nexus S Android Development] t3xboar:
I just threw on speedy-6 too. noop / lulzV2

race you :p
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
;) started testing with half a battery i gues ill win the race to recharge. also changed to deadline/smartass v2. OC 110% BLN on,touchwake off. so far its nice and smooth, gps,wifi etc working perfectly
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
today clean install.

sio / smartassv2.

no oc, deep idle activated, tw off, bln on.

removed music, musicfx (substituted with music cm9 & volume+), g+, wallet, currents.

activated most of the tweaks, little gps & wifi...

untill this very moment ... gonna cry: 2 hs and battery still to 100% !!! :eek:
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
yea besides the fact it sleeps like a baby in idle, overall battery life and performance really rock with speedy kernels in general. its my personal favourite since v2 :p

btw can you link the cm9 music in a pm or something? would like to see whats with it
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
sorry using matrix 14.5

and later i'm gonna try with the f&%k mms thing...

thanks for the replies!

@t3xboar: yes, the problem is only with the keyboard, i've got two hands free devices and both work perfectly

@Cybergr: the keyboard worked with the original OTA ICS update.

Maybe the problem is related to the protocol that manages the bt inputs from HIDs?
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
almost 3 hs and still 100% both in battery stats menu and nots' area.

guess it's a bug.. :cool:

PLEASE GUYS DO A CLEAN INSTALL, READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS in the OP!!WIPE ALL (SDcard too maybe is a must)

but no battery stats!?!

I can`t do anything better...i can`t use fonts sizes like 25 to make ppl read this!!

Ho seguito i tuoi consigli, ora provo anke io..ma dove si attiva il "deep idle" ?
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
nstools

full config is:

sio / smartassv2

zipalign on boot, sysctl on boot

data on, wifi off

no oc, deep idle on, touchwake off, bln on + pro app, bld on (60 sec)

rotation on

brightness auto

novalauncher

removed music, musicfx (substituted with music cm9 & volume+), g+, wallet, currents.

activated most of the tweaks for saving data,

little gps & wifi, some market, txt sms,

...

now i have: 4 hs -> 96% batt.

i'm incredibly happy--- yet it's time to make a deep afterthought on this ics..

in my op, deepidle saves the ass, but it seems to me (a newbie to android world) this os is consuming battery in an unpredictable way...

now time to solve mms issue guys... :p

Hellou

wooww... you did a great job.

i like it very much.

but i wanna ask you something:

why my wifi coverage is to small. when i had GB in the same place i had 3-4 line and now a have max 2 line, most of time a stay only with one line.

and the second thing is than when i`m on data, on 3G it stay only 5-10 second and jump on 2g...after 1 minutes or less is jump back on 3G.

can you fix this issues?
[Nexus S Android Development] CloudStrife91:
Hi guys, bt keyboard issue resolved :)!

FULL wipe (sd card too) and reflash of rom resolved the problem :):):)!!!

Many thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
What kind of bt Keyboard do you have? can you provide me a link please :)
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
Battery life is now way better than it was before. Medium-heavy usage gave me around 12hrs:30m. With previous ics roms and kernel combinations I used to get around 7 hours max with the same usage. Perfect rom (followed instructions in OP :) ) and perfect kernel to go with it (matrix 15 cfs).
[Nexus S Android Development] einsteinchen:
I got the same problem with Wifi. And it's not only the sown signal strength, I'm getting no signal at all in rooms I used to.

Is it just the two of us or are they more who can confirm that? I'm still using v4.

However I got no problems with mobile data.
[Nexus S Android Development] zalho:
Can i update from v4 to v5 without wiping? :confused:

I don't want to backup all apps and then restore... it's boring and i don't want to lose all the shortcuts and all the folders organization in home screen...
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Thank you...I am looking at it right now..But this maybe half fix the problem as its for a US carrier..

Maybe 3g coverage its not to good from where you tried it..Find a place with full 3G/HSDPA coverage and see if something change!

As for the WiFi i think is normal for ICS..Have you tried Speedtest.net app to see if you are getting similar speeds?

Glad to read that you have resolved your problem!!

Seems that if people do a clean install as i described the results are near to perfect!! ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Consider updating to ver 5 following the installation instructions in the OP.Formatting also sdcard seems to help for any glitches!

Sorry but it`s highly recommended doing a full fresh clean installation for version 5!!

I know it`s boring but consider i don`t actually have a phone like you have!!

I can`t even think to have some photos-videos, mp3`s or data on my phone not even customize it as i want cause

i have to flash in continuous test versions doing what you have to do for one time in a while 20 times more in between version updates!

cyber, could please consider to have a glance here, under 30Dec?

and for the wifi...

the signal seems to get weaker once wifi goes off for power management.

on the very first connection after boot, signal is strong.

for me then, another little bug:

once is connected, the blue color of the wifi signal vanish. :eek: i.e. wifi is connected but signal color is grey, even when is not that poor
[Nexus S Android Development] HiTjTe:
I also have very bad wifi reception, even in rooms where you are literally next to the router (lecture halls where extra radio's are installed to strengthen signal :confused:) I manage to get only one bar of signal...

This is the last bug that has to be fixed to make this phone with this ROM the ultimate smartphone!
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
cannot but quote...

this ver5 battery consume is even better than Gbver4!

incredible... since this morning, i am testing as you all can read in the preceeding posts, and at the moment i got almost 8 hours with my battery at 73%, 30 min internet & facebook, music, 30 min phone calls, appdrawer adjustments...

data always on; 1,5 hour wireless, market, etc etc..

i am astonished, only 2 words: THX CYBER!
[Nexus S Android Development] Nantaphan:
Hi i really love this rom :)) thx for ur nice work but

can u guys check this out for me :) ?

I dont know why my battery life is very suck

my NStools setting

deadline@Smartassv2 min 100 max 1000 deep idle and BLN activate

thx for check this out ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] t3xboar:
checkin: 6 hours 25min @ 8% loss (sitting at 92% atm)

Thats about on par with previous tests.. if it keeps up i'll hit something like 3 days of light use time. [100/8=12.5 *6.25 = 78.12 /24h = 3.25 days]

speedy-6 noop/lulzV2

*************

@wifi bars -its an ics cosmetic bug. you have reception and signal - its basically a ics visual display bug. Lots and lots of roms have this. I was doing tests and it shouldnt affect anything. With 1 bar I was able to transfer via wifi (wifiexplorer: a type of ftp) at about 40Mbps on both up down using my internal network only. (not talking about internet here)

I'm not even worried about that. i know when i turn it on its on. regardless of the display bars. my speeds are there!
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
Did you flashed another Kernel by the way?!

Try Ondemand 200min - 1000max same IO, deep idle off!

You are on default ROM`s Kernel both?I don`t even ask if you have performed a clean installation of this update including sdcard format.(It`s obvious)

I called my cousin who lives near me and he also has a NS but not rooted with OTA ICS update and he cames over from my house (I am still in Greece ;) )..we put them together side by side on my desk and the WiFi reception was identical 3-4 lines each!Tested with Matr1x 14.5 and Matr1x 15 kernel.

Now for the big files downloads from default browser issue i found out that has to do with Power Saver mode ON or OFF under CyberGR|MOD Settings!

With Power Saver mode OFF i don`t have problems at all successfully downloading for example Version 5 Update from the FTP Server, with it ON after the display goes off and waiting for like 2 or 3 minutes it gives error!

So if you want to download big files Just long press Power Button and be sure that Power Saver Mode is OFF on Power menu!!Activate it when you need it!!Maybe this is correlative to the Wifi Signal strength too!

Or take your time to play with different Power Saver mode Settings!!

PS :

@sperelli

I am looking at it...For me everything seems perfect so maybe i ll give a shot on how to resolve the MMS problem for some if not for all!!\

PS 2 : I have run out of my daily Thanks..So i can`t Thank everyone!!

PS 3 :

I love this ver 5 Update..!!

:D

PS 4 : Well said t3xboar!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] HiTjTe:
I don't agree that it is just a cosmetic issue, because I regularly don't have any wifi signal and have to switch back to 3g to have a working internet connection. This is also in places where other devices (laptops, other phones, tablets) do have a working wifi connection. I can't say anything about the difference with GB because I switched directly to an ICS ROM when I got my nexus s :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
only thing i seem to have is that the sound is at a lower level then before dont know why.used same setting from voodoo but dont know maybe its just my ears today. batery life is excelent after almost 5h talk time and a bit of music. no reboots or freeze,working like a charm with speedy 6
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
As a matter of fact, it seemed to me it has a statistic connection...

What i didn't add on "color-wifi-topic" is that reboot or playing with reboot menu solve.

Yet, then again.

You really want to know how to get totally rid of this?

Disable ''wi-fi off when screen off". And everything is ok.

In your opinion, cyber, do we really have to take this as possibly related to some hidden thrash in sdcard?
[Nexus S Android Development] hungmung:
Changed to speedy kernel and charging issue is gone also noticed a small bug on music fx the far right slider is to far over and is almost impossible to move.
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
just checked i have the same issue so i gues its maybe kernel related:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] Paragon_X:
Thank you for these settings. Myself I was using smartassv2 and cfs, still the same results. I might try to wipe my sdcard and do everything fresh, oddly enough that may be the issue, but for now I'll try your settings, a bit nervous about noob because I do multitask a lot, music along with twitter, fb etc. I would consider blocking ports but damn does information flow to my phone and I need those updates. Still, I feel like I could get a little more out of it, 9 hours isn't bad at all, but these miracle days would be nice. Anywho, here goes another shot! Once again thanks for the settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] rosms:
quick fix: enter settings while turning screen in landscape position. that way you can get to change that setting as well

Reading many of previous posts with issues that they are gone after formatting sdcard and wiping everything..I can say yes..So formating SDcard to avoid any possible issue seems the right thing to do for everyone!

If i remember well u had this problem for a long time.

So i need some infos mate..

What radio image are you using right now?!

Did u performed a full clean install including sdcard format?

Did you tried another kernel?

In previous versions you have got signal in those places you mentioned above?

You bought your NS brand new or used?!

Icup doesn`t use Deep_idle code from Ezekeel...has a modified version from eugene though!

You welcome mate..!
[Nexus S Android Development] ben.selinger:
;) Trying this now. I've just never seen an NS get >28-36 hours to a charge so I always figured it was what everyone else was getting. The "SDcard too maybe is a must" sorta threw me for a "wtf?".

I'm backing up my SD and will format it this time.
[Nexus S Android Development] zalho:
It's not possible to make video calls in this ROM? :confused:

I haven't that option...
[Nexus S Android Development] t3xboar:
well if you dont want no-op then use SIO. its bascially a toss up between both of them. they are almost neck and neck depending on your usage habits. for multitasking i would myself use SIO. ;)

also the firewall is selective. you can easily tell it what you want to do. try it in the market. its free anyways ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
What video calls did you mean?!Skype?Gtalk?Google+?
[Nexus S Android Development] zalho:
I ment native video calls...

like going to contact list, choose contact and then have several options like:

- make voice call

- make video call

- send message
[Nexus S Android Development] ben.selinger:
No dice. Wiped everything twice, formatted everything twice (including SDcard), flashed v5, boot up, signed in but did not sync any apps/settings. Let the phone idle with screen off, wifi/data on, and i'm still burning 8%/hour. Am I missing something? This is the battery life I see on every stock NS so I always assumed my battery must be at least as good as everyone else's. Is my battery toast?
[Nexus S Android Development] HiTjTe:
I'm currently using KF1 but flashing other radios doesn't seem to make any difference

I didn't format sdcard, but I've had bad reception with every ICS ROM so far

Also different kernels don't seem to make any difference problem is persistent with Matrix, Glados and ICUP kernels

My NS came brand new out of the box

I thought about the possibility to increase the voltage on the wifi radio receiver but I don't know if it's possible to change that...

Anyway thanks once more for the quick response :)

Well after trying new settings I experienced a 30% drop in 2 hrs. I can for sure say the only thing left to do is wipe my sdcard which has experienced probably upwards of 10 differents roms. So I am holding hope that is the big game changer here. I'll report back much later, have another 8 hours left at work, ugh.
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
This is the only ROM that made me stay with ICS, just thought I'd throw that out there
[Nexus S Android Development] Cybergr:
There is no native video calls on Nexus S at all!!Not in this ROM but in every Nexus S rom custom or not!!

My opinion mate...Really if you are under guarantee go to a Samsung point and change it!!Maybe your WiFi card is damaged!!

Two things...

If i remember well you wiped batttery stats!So after performing wipe battery stats you must do at least 3 full circles of charging/discharging!

And two..maybe i say maybe your battery needs to be replaced..But we will see!

Do a full clean install of this ROM including formatting of sdcard!

Btw MMS doesn`t send MMS on atlest the 70% of all carriers worldwide!

Waiting for further news!Good luck!

I don't understand italian but i want to add my two cents on this. Matr1x and ICUP speedy have both deep idle solutions but in different implements: Matr1x has the implementation of Ezekeel and Eugene has his own one.

@ everyone: the developer-option "Force GPU", is battery friendly or the opposite?
[Nexus S Android Development] t3xboar:
update: 15h battery time and 72% left... not too bad at all. :D

that just makes everything on your phone use the gpu.. scrolling, windows, tiles etc.. can be broken in certain poorly programmed spots, but not sure.

forcing the gpu to do everything might be a mixed bag. you'll smooth things out, but its gotta eat some battery staying on to do everything...trade off maybe ???
