[Nexus S General] Kitch16:
I'm using CodenameDroid 1.2.0 with Francos Kernel and it is by far the best battery life for me. Getting a solid 14 hours with moderate usage, e.g facebook, texting and a couple of hours of music. I've tried loads of ICS roms but none this perfectly balanced performance/battery wise. :D
[Nexus S General] mohammadpk:
yup I have been using it for like 4 weeks now, the battery life is not bad too
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Now im using codename android 1.2 with speedy 7. Nice combo
[Nexus S General] benoit2600:
I'm on CyberGR-Mod v5 with actually eugene speedy 7 kernel, it's so fast ! ( with smartassV2 and Deadline )

I will might change to SG-NS-ICS kernel if Didle isn't as great as it could be.
[Nexus S General] kptnk:
ok, after having tried quite a lot of possibilities (aren't we here all flashaddicts? ), for me the very best combo is :

Rom : Pete's Buggless Beast builds ; no matter which other i try, i always come back to his after a while

Kernel : _thalamus's ones, only available on Oxygen forum : forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=2160

his kernels are the smoothest, very good battery life, and the most stable, no doubt of it. But, his kernel is at the opposite of all "xda kernels" available here (and i love those, absolutly no offense here) : NO MOD AT ALL, just pure performance, without voodoo, multiple gov or bln or else......

just try it, you'll be amazed

P.S : i'm pretty sure the rom we're quite all waiting for, Oxygen 3, is being build with and will feature _thalamus kernel.
[Nexus S General] bloomfield9000:
I was on Nexus Beam. It was flawless. Speedy, minimalist, almost perfect. I liked that it didn't really go out of its way to live its mark on Android, just touched up the official Nexus S builds with some tasty optimisations.

But, NFC recently broke on it, and I couldn't get Wallet installed on it anyways. I flashed to CyberGR|MOD recently solely because it already had wallet built in. Lots of nifty features, but he definitely tried to make his mark on it, with his weird logo all over everything. Don't care for it at all. I'll probably switch back to Nexus Beam + a kernel I haven't decided on yet, or something else if I can find one with Wallet built in.

Edit: Though I will say I like the Cyber|GR approach to power toggles. Pressing the settings button brings up toggles, long-pressing goes to settings. I like that a lot better than an ever-present toggles bar in the note drawer.

[Nexus S General] kooskoos1814:
Well, it all depends on how you use it, I would consider myself as a light to medium user.

It lasts about 30 to 48 hours, Wifi/3G always on, Gmail account sync, FB and G+ sync every 4 hours, Google Reader sync regularly (but I couldn't say exactly how often). A lot of browsing (with Reader and directly), all together, 3 to 4 hours on this period. A few texts and phone calls (maybe 10 or 15 min).

But, unlike a lot of UV/UC solutions (or on stock frequencies too), it's really perfectly smooth (and more than 2500 pts on Quadrant !!) ! CPU governor is ondemand, Force GPU Acceleration checked (don't know if it has an impact on battery life though).

If you have other questions, just feel free to ask :)
[Nexus S General] fristuff:
30 hours? Wow. Well I know that cm9 exists for nexus s 4g but the trinity kernel seems to be only for GSM version. My phone goes down to 50% in 5 hours and I do fraction of what you do.... sad. Having sprint stinks too.

La Sigh... Ever since I've tried MIUI I can't find a better rom in terms of design. I even prefer the gingerbread MIUI's version of a browser. I've been getting a ton of battery problems though so far. Currently I'm using MIUI Oodie PRiMe with a speedy 7 kernel, 800 mhz max and lulzyactive. Yet I'm still getting 12 hours with light to medium usage... (Maybe 2% every minute or so I'm just scrolling through system settings).

I also use tasker to turn 3g on ONLY when I open my web browser.

I downloaded batterystats and battery widget to see what's up. I'd be happy with 20 hours of battery with light to mid use.

MIUI + speedy 7 is butter smooth though...

[Nexus S General] joey jeremiah:
Any MIUI people here? The one thing I miss most about MIUI 1.7 was the SMS feature that drops down the task bar automatically whenever somebody messages you.... You could simply reply and it closes. Opens again when they message you next time.

Is this feature available on any of the ICS roms that you've tried? I'm pretty much just looking for that + battery life (20 hours ligh to moderate use) and I'd be happy.
[Nexus S General] b1337:

I have a sensation which, spec-wise at least, should be a powerhouse, dual core, loads if ram, bla bla but i am FED UP WITH LAGS, CRASHES, BUGS, for a device with that much power i expect FLAWLESS performance, and not to f*cking crash!! Sense crashes constantly (i only get a week or two without crashes if i factory reset the phone, but i dont think that is the point of having such a powerhouse!)

Apps are buggy, there will always be something, im not saying it happens always but it IS HAPPENIG, today Gtalk wouldnt start, it kept returning to the menu (solution:close background data, open gtalk, it will prompt u sth, enable background and it works) but guys this stuff shouldnt be happening at all.

I am a DIE HARD iOs hater, but dammit, that thing newer has lags/crashes/bugs... It just... Works.. f*uck.. i hate to say that but its, true, it just works

(And the roms and stuff are great, but still there isnt any rom that is 110% working)

I'm with hungry81. Faulty phone. That is not normal and if support tells you that is normal, I say you tell them that if that is normal, it is unacceptable and you want your money back. My sensation does non of these things. It did shut off on me today, but I've had it since September, and this is the first time it's done that to me using stock ROM. It could be a corrupted memory card. I had my defy get real fussy like that, so a backed up and reformatted the sd card, then loaded everything back on, and have had no problems since.

How bout WP7

Well, if you don't get your problem dealt with, might I recommend a WP7 phone? Spec wise it is inferior to Android, but many ppl don't realize that a 1GHz single core is plenty of power to drive a WP7 phone. The GUI is as smooth as butter, no lags, crashes, etc. You should really try one of these phones and see what I'm talking about. And since it is being continually developed, it will probably catch up to iOS and Android in the specs department. But AGAIN, I stress that these phones don't need all that power. Try one out and you'll see what I mean ;)

Oh and seriously guys u know what I was talking about, I am not criticising android, Iove it with all my heart, but iOS is the most stable thing I have ever seen.

Post of the week

Onto the issue at hand, a lot of reviews for the Sensation report unexplained lag. Other dual core and similar spec'd phones don't lag like the Sensation does. If i had to guess it would be an improper build of HTC Sense.

Try a nonsense ROM can help. Get ADW launcher and beautiful widgets and you will hardly notice a difference. ICS should be able to offer other improvement. Most alpha builds reports night and day improvements with ICS.

If you don't want to use a ROM atm, avoid live wallpapers, turn off flash, avoid using too many widgets. Basically everything that makes an Android worth having, avoid until you can figure out the source of the lag.

Get a task manager and see if killing the tasks help, if it does then it is a memory issue either by a rouge app or (again) probably caused by the memory hog that is Sense.

Well, I read that iOS 5 drains a lot of battery for the simplest tasks. On top of that, there are other issues related to web browsing (like crashing browser) and other issues. I'd say look into this before setting your heart on iOS. I mean, it could take them a long time to fix it.

And yeah, a lot of ppl have love for Nokias since they were so good. I'm glad they're making phones with WP7. But for now I'll stick to my HD7 :D
