Guess it's just the screwy differences in hardware that make some a better build quality than others. Well I said I wouldn't do it, but I lied...

I'm restoring to my GV 1.3 pre-blitz image as I type this. Guess I like battery over performance, we'll see...I may be back to blitz.

Can somebody explain the difference between ondemand and smoothass. I still don't understand them that well. Thanks!
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
I didn't read the whole thread but seeing profiles for the kernel helps a lot like when my screen is off my phone is set to minimum on the min and max which sometimes causes lag turning on but once the screen comes on it's up and running fine. At that level if I keep the screen off it takes nearly an hour to drop a percent.

It points out two possible issue:

1) over discharge (perhaps our meters account for this,

2) getting the battery hot, my phone does warm up setting on the charger, sounds like the usb port charging might be better for the battery?

I cant find help anywhere!

[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
First load up the script in Terminal. You then have to run the RUU using wine or mono and roughly around 70-75% you have to quickly cancel the RUU and continue rest of the script.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Hi, I noticed that our wifi driver can be controlled via iwconfig to increase TX power. It's not too impressive change (from default 14dbm to max 15dbm), but still it's a ~25% transmission power increase considering miliwatts (25mW->32mW) :)

Please remember it will slightly improve your wifi connection, but also increase the power consumption!

HOWTO:

Use the file everytime you switch on the wifi (or create a relevant script):

iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15

Download: iwconfig

To use this script, execute it from the terminal. Copy it to anywhere into your memory card. Open up Terminal Emulator, cd to /sdcard/location/of/the/file/ (e.g. /sdcard/download) and enter the command from the first post.

Here's a simple script that might work. I haven't tested it yet:

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15

Save as whateveryouwanttonameit.sh in anywhere you want (a folder for scripts in sdcard is recommended). You need to copy the 'iwconfig' file into /system/bin for this to work and run this script from Script Manager or Gscript or anything that can run the script (including Terminal Emulator). If I'm not mistaken, you can create a simple widget for scripts using Script Manager.

Hope it works. Thanks zdzihu for this great find.

The phone is great but the battery really bothers me.

If I use my phone a bit it doesn't get me through the day. Sometimes i get as low as 8 hours of use with tops of 20 or so hours.

How do you manage it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I use an Apex kernel and a 2000mah extended battery ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rickroller:
Mines been great. Yesterday I was at 17+hrs which included over 3hrs of screen time and 1 hr of voice calls. I've only had my phone for less than a week, and have twice gotten over 4hrs of onscreen time (all with stock battery).

Running AOKP Milestone2 ROM with stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brk3:
I about a day and a half nearly 2 with stock and moderate use.

Batteries pretty damn good, you must have something installed that's eating it up. There's a good battery guide somewhere on these forums, usually helps track down the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
I usually get about 3 hours of screen time before I need to recharge. That should be normal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
AOKP + Franco kernel + 2000 mAh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JMacalinao:
Got two days of battery life just now (1 day 20 hours, to be exact). That's with 2h18m of screen time and 4h2m of voice calls. Screen time is mostly due to text messaging, Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and Google Currents, so I guess... light to moderate usage?

WiFi is always on, Data is off, Sync is on (except for FB sync), location services off. Didn't sign out of Talk, but did sign out of Latitude.

Also, since I installed Facebook, when you run it for the first time, it downloads a lot of background data, regardless of sync settings. I let it do its thing while it's still charging, and it was all good after that.

Using AOKP b20, Franco 13.1, and stock battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SL1VR:
36 hours is the most I've gotten out of the phone, but I did screenshot this not too long ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jensfaultier:
I never get more than a day, but i use my phone very much because studying without my gnex is boring. I have the original gsm battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] red 90:
I would say the stock battery is borderline adequate. I find that on the stock system, if I use the screen for more than 3hrs, and have all my services sync'd, bluetooth, a few calls once in a while... I would have a hard time struggling to get to the end of the day without the phone giving me a battery warning.

How I've managed it is to get the samsung 2000mah extended battery. It's not a dramatic difference, but enough to make it noticable.

As well, I've kept the screen to about 40%, used a dark wall paper, loaded franco kernal and tweaked some of the settings to be more battery efficient.

Overall, I think it's acceptable right now. At least for how I use it.

I also find that my battery drains quite a bit where I work as the cell signal is on the borderline between no signal and 1-2 bars. That's why I keep a charger at work as well as in my car to give it some extra juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nerfsuperball:
I find the battery is actually quite good.

I upgraded from a blackberry tour, and with similar moderate use the nexus actually gets me more battery use. However both phones being idle the blackberry lasted for days.

Overall i'm never away from a power source i can charge my phone, so as long as it lasts me roughly 1 day i'm good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Stock battery

Rom: aosp self-built from aosp master branch

Went almost 3 days on one charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
If you can't get days while idle with your GN, then something is definitely wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_other_ray:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
two days. Medium use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
I got my nexus 4 days ago.. Since then im harassing my phone.. Literally.. Im constantly installing application, customizing the homepages, making icons, widgets etc, surfing on web, exploring the market. 100% of time, Wifi or mobile data is in use (although i got unlimited data plan here (with speed of 4 mbits and 1 mbit upload), my wifi is more faster than mobile data.).

So i havent had a day with "normal" or "moderate" use on my GN.. And, battery lasts for over 24 hours.. And, autosync is always on, brightness is on 40% aprox, screen sleep 45 seconds (basicly its not sleeping cause im harassing it all the time :) )

Im all stock to the bone, just unlocked bootloader and rooted..

Im wondering what will happend when i start using my phone with moderate usage .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
Hmmm there are some interesting answers on this thread. The battery and the low sound have been the sole disappointments for me on the GN.

I get about 3.5 hours screen time before i have to recharge.

I guess if i turned everything off i could get better performance battery wise. But why would i spend almost $300 on a phone only to not use it? I am complete stock at the moment because i don't want to void the warranty but while i waiting for 4.0.3 i will be regularly using the hell out of my phone with a spare stock battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
batteries have yet to perform at the level of the rest of the hardware, it's a fact. bear with it like the rest of us. of course we bought the phone to use it.

if you need battery life above all, turn off sync, it will do wonders.

personal pref: for more available resources, uninstall that widget crap, homescreens full of that i dont know whats the point of using them, even multiple homescreens, i rather have really important stuff on the launcher and just one homescren, black bg, no widgets. these are cpu and memory hogs, as well as 3rd party task killers, system monitors... keep it simple. less is more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erkv:
I assume no more than a day on my gn, but, as stupid as it sounds if you turn off the 3g and only enable 2g you improve your juice a lot. Most of the time we only need 2g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manugue:
To the original question: "Have you managed to get over a day of battery life?" I say I haven't managed to not get over a day of battery life. I am on the GSM version, Stock battery, Stock 4.0.2 and medium daily use.

The phone's battery life is better than my old Nexus S and Nexus One, so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
I unplug at 9 AM before i leave to work, Google Music streaming on the way to work, heavy use at work up to about 2-2:30 PM and then moderate use til i get off work at 6 PM, Google Music streaming on the way home, and i still have about 15% battery left, it usually dies around 8 PM while i browse Reader and Reddit. Not much different than my N1 or NS.

more ideas??
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Hey guys,

I'm looking to learn how to implement the OC Daemon into custom ROMs which don't already make use of it (e.g. MIUI) and wondering if any of you could help with teaching me or pointing me in the right direction. I've done a couple of searches but turned up nothing so far.

Seeing as you're all so friendly in the Desire S forums ;), I thought I'd try here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

(Also, you're not having deja vu. I asked this question a while ago in the Q&A forum but it died without a single response. I'm guessing this was because the forum's not so popular, but forgive me if it's rude to ask the same question again elsewhere.)

UPDATE (30/01/12) - Answer:

If you want to do it from scratch, look for the virtuous_oc source code - you can get it from the rmk40's github.

If you just want to use it in your own rom, it's quite easy, and you can take it from an existing rom (e.g. Endymion).

You need:

/system/xbin/virtuous_oc (the daemon itself)

/system/etc/virtuous_oc (the entire directory, containing the files that the daemon will read to get configured)

and some script in /etc/init.d/ to actually start the daemon. Then you can use OC/UV Beater to control the thing.

Take a look into this and I'm sure you'll get it. The idea is that the files inside /etc/virtuous_oc contain the max and min frequencies, as well as the governor, for sleep and wake states.

And that's it! I don't want to go into much more detail than that, because it's not that difficult and if you're really interested you'll be able to work out any missing details for yourself anyway. ;)

Finally, many thanks to the much loved Lowveld for sharing this. :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hi. Welcome to the Desire S forums.

Lowveld has managed to incorporate the OC daemon and other scripts into Sense 3.5 ROM (Endymion). Maybe you can ask him (PM).

If I were you, i'd go after him...:)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
Cheers enigmaamit. I guess I'll send him a PM then. :)

If I ever find what I'm looking for I'll be back to update this thread. I'm sure this is the kind of thing a lot of people here would love to learn more about.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Amen to that brother! :)
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:

[HTC Desire S] noytexz:
I know its not a good post to this thread but can you please tell me what exactly oc daemon does ?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] Nickamina:
It's a form of integrated screen state frequency scaling (e.g. 1.2Ghz-245MHz/ondemand screen-on, 806Mhz-245Mz/conservative screen-off) which is more responsive and less prone to lag than using an app to control these values such as SetCPU.

Particularly useful if you have a different governor for your sleep state than you do for your awake state.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Told you... Lowveld's the man!! :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dgiaffe:
Hello,

I am getting a bit confused with all the threads and I really don't want to mess up my phone. I have rooted it and my background is the Xperia X10, on Rogers too. I would like to test out some different ROMs or maybe even the ICS Rom that just came out from the EternityProject team. However, if I understood, there is no way to revert back to stock since we have a locked bootloader. Can anyone could just guide me to threads step by step? I read the tutorial to flash the Arctic Rom, but I am not sure what to do. Is the bootstrap recovery this? If so I guess I can go from there... I was a bit scared since it was saying unofficial. Would it work for Rogers Canada? Most of the things I see are for US or Europe.. Please help me out, would be much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dgiaffe:
I just reread the bootstrap thread.. Having a question regarding this. There is a note stating that you can only access it through Android.. I am guessing I need to reinstall the bootstrap everytime I flash a ROM.. right? Sorry, pretty lost. Thanks for any help! I just feel like it was wayyy easier with my X10..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
I came from the X10 on rogers too!, I seems the X10 was way easier to understand and mod. I am so lost with all this motorola stuff too!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gdmuscle:
Advise

Hey there guys, well I would advise not to flash anything unless you have at least a ClockWork backup of your phone after you rooted and installed the bootstrap recovery. The bootstrap recovery is an .apk file which you install and run from the phone itself not in recovery mode like most other unlocked bootloaders.

I'm holding off myself because there is no full flash file from Rogers as of yet, the closest one is the Brazil Xt910 flash using RDSlite. Still if you flash that if something goes wrong with your tweaking you won't get the CSC files from the Rogers Rom unless I guess you back them up. I'm not quite sure if you can actually pull the csc files from the rogers and port it over but it's worth a try if your daring.

At the moment I'm content with root and backing up the system folders and other partitions just in case something goes wrong, remember to backup your efs as well.
