The thing that jumps out to me is your cell signal. Being in an area with weak signal can kill a battery in as little as 2 hours. Your time without signal is 65%! Even when I am underground in a federal building, the worst I've seen mine be is ~35% and my battery dies in under 3 hours. Sitting at my desk I get 12hrs or so depending on use, and that's with Wimax always on. No Wimax on I can get 16-20 hours. Your signal bar is constantly yellow, so your radio must strain to keep connection. All other things being equal, I would say that is what is killing your battery. If you are streaming through the internet you can't just use airplane mode in those low-signal areas (which is the smart move to save battery). Not sure what to tell you.

Re: Android OS, I saw somewhere that it was just reporting its usage numbers in a faulty way, and not actually sucking up your battery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] r_tarandus:
Figured it out. Looks like this developer did put it into Apex. You gotta turn it on manually- at least I did- because it isn't automatically on.

Go to the Messaging app, then press Menu > Settings > SMS split. It looks like you're limited to 480 characters (3 texts), but it's good.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nathire:
Edit - Nevermind, got it!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wheeqo:
I once got bootloop, after I restart the phone bcoz gps got error. After take out the battery n turn it on, everything got normal again.

After long usage now I got error camera, after restart, camera normal again.

About signal strength, I set in debug mode from hybrid to EVDO only (cannot retrieve call n sms). The signal bar still got 2bar, but if I check in network signal app, it got full strength n speed.

Here is the battery performance, after enabled EVDO only

well a lot of better. they said in my country the wireless operator signal is not good & unstable, so this is acceptable.

When is there a new update coming out? Its been a while. Just wondering if apex has been abandoned. If so, I might have to switch roms even though it would suck.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Steviemac12:
I followed your instructions, "wipe all before flash. Flash rom, then gapps, then radio, reboot do initial setup, reboot. Wipe cache / dalvik then flash kernel." (kernel Matr1x 16.5)

coming from Apex 1.0.0 (which is amazing) to Apex 1.0.2

after wiping, flashing etc. everything works except my 3G.The bars and 3G/H symbols are grey not Blue like normal.

Am I doing something wrong... any assist would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
Maybe a bad flash? Or try a battery pull -_-

What are your exact steps for a "wipe all"?

I do Wipe Data/Factory Reset>Wipe Cache> Mounts & Storage >Format /system >Format /boot and then Advanced >Wipe Dalvik Cache.

No issues after 2 days of using 1.0.2.

As far as updates... there really doesn't need to be any? Not yet anyway, imo.

Can't wait until the themes for ICS start really coming in though.

Well, sometimes the 3G\4G\WiFi bars go grey for a few till they blue out.

How long has it been greyed out?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Steviemac12:
For wiping, I used same steps you listed. But to be honest, I never tried the battery pull... I'm such a twit.

Will try that when I get home. Thanks!

Anyone problem with aGPS? Usually with my other phone, even inside building, wireless network still can detect my location. But now it seems only GPS satellite that works to detect my location, so if I'm inside building, the phone can't locate me. Is it general problem for nexus s, or only in this rom?

I have tried solution modification the GPS.conf in that famous thread, but still didn't work, the GPS indeed lock faster outside.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ejohn3288:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] skunkd:
doubtful... what the hell else could you want out of this rom? It's one of the best out and its got everything built in. and everything works smoothly.

Not sure why everyone thinks you need an update every week or 2. Some of you people need to just get another hobby or something lol... its a phone
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wheeqo:
yeah right, IMO too many updates isn't good. smooth, bug-free and stable is my priority.

Is there any way to change the persistant search bar to "Google" w voice symbol instead of both being symbols?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rift999:
Would it be possible to add KSM support? Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Snuffalofagus:
So I just installed this from a few weeks ago and it is, by far, one of the best ICS based Roms around right now. I was wondering though, is there any way you could implement the soft keys (like on the Galaxy Nexus) onto this Rom? mobile_sensei was able to do it on his Elite/GummyNexus Rom, and I was wondering if you could do the same?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] GeorgeNYer:
An option for those who want the soft keys would be better. I personally prefer the extra screen space and rather use my capacitive button than soft buttons. But that's just me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
I agree. The soft keys are a waste of space on the ns, which has a smallish screen to begin with.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] skunkd:
soft keys would be retarded... we already have them at the buttom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] glexor:
I am with you I have noticed GPS issues once going to this ROM. Navigation has issues getting GPS Signal, and Foursquare thinks I am several miles off from actual location.

I have tried GPS Status to clear and re-pull AGPS data but that doesn't always fix the issue.

Anyone else seen this, or have any suggestions to correct this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wheeqo:
Got error in Wifi hotspot. Activate first working, 5 minutes later internet access on client stopped but on the phone is fine.

About aGPS error, it's my mistake. I set in DEBUG mode to EVDO only, after set to hybrid mode, aGPS back to normal.

Moved on to Codename Android 1.4 and it is amazing. It has everything apex has, and more. extremely smooth. Would have stuck with apex but it seems abandoned
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] neo_x22000:
it does seem abandoned...Bigxie dont even answer PM's anymore...nor does he seem to be offering help and support with issues...but oh well...ill b flashing something different after work!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joedfall:
Slow

I flashed this and am flashing to another rom.

REASONS WHY:

Slow response

speakers have lower volume than I have ever had.

Freezes on a lot of my Gapps.

Good work and I appreciate every one on this site who builds Just thought I would give a heads up, and maybe you can tweak it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joeyddr:
sounds like you didn't wipe correctly.... this rom has been the fastest most stable rom i have had in a long time. Doesn't really need much updating...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] skunkd:
I'm still using Bigxie 3.2 and loving it lol I like it better than the apex rom. to me its smoother for some reason.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nathire:
I'm loving this rom, excellent job.

Maybe this is a problem with all gingerbread roms (doubt it), maybe it's just a problem with my phone (probably), but I have a lot of custom ringtones for people and they never play. It always plays the default ringtone.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get it working?

Cool new toggles
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jgreene1014:
Flashed 1.1.2 this am based on your input. Really liking this so far! I flashed a trinity kernel over it as I was not fond of the screen colors and it looked like I could not adjust stock kernel. Kudos to the developer!

Just went over the change log again and noticed this.

NEW Device Control App - control screen colors, enable presets, and more low level mods

I did not see the device control app or the ability to adjust screen colors in Customizations
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
You can adjust the colors in the Nexus S Settings app, actually. I like the CM presets w/ natural color myself.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jgreene1014:
I know this is going to sound crazy but I dont see the nexus s settings. Where are they located?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Should be in the app drawer.

Another corner I cut, added a launcher intent to CrespoParts instead of integrating it into my settings menu :P

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] freebase101:
This might have been mentioned many times before, so try not to hate on me too hard, but i didn't take the time to read more than about 10 pages looking for the answer.

I really enjoy this rom, perfect as far as I am concerned, my only issue is I can't seem to get WiMax to work. I know my coverage at home is terrible, but I've gone to locations where I know WiMax is extremely strong and when I try to enable 4g, it checks off, then when i go back out of the settings it unchecks, haven't really been able to figure it out.

I'm running the latest Matrix cfs kernel, I guess maybe it could be the PRL, I'm using the stock 4.04 one i think, I updated before I rerooted a few weeks ago.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Acontreras86:
I had that wimax problem before. I just reflashed the rom and G apps over current setup . I only cleared cache
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wickid_d:
Hmmm... I'm sitting on the 1.1.3 version of this rom, and I'm not seeing any problems with the dialer, unless you're talking about doing the 'update profile' thing, because that does a soft reboot on me.. other than that, pretty nice rom here, man! :D :thumbup: it's fast, smooth, looks nice, and although I haven't done my usual barrage of stress tests yet, from what I've seen, the performance is amazing!! Good combo of mods in one rom!

But.. (there's always one lol)

2 things I've noticed:

1) the 3g icon is finicky even though the 4g one is on point

2) the status bar does need some work, such as adding day of week option for there, as you've already stated in op. But, more especially as stated, the battery icon not updating upon changing the setting - simple bandaid for now though: have a charger handy cuz that'll trigger it without the need for reboot or ui restart

However, this is an amazing piece of work! :) Keep it up! :)
