Glad to see it made a difference!

Go to manage apps. Running. Click apps you don't use. Click 'disable.'

When I am not using a program the only things on my running programs list are settings, Google services, and android keyboard.

You can also go into your settings and select how many background processes yer phone will run. Also, after I get done using fat ass games or my browser and I am about to stop using my phone or I notice it slowdown. You do this by goin to manage apps.., running, click bottom where is says show cached processes. Click that and aside from your main stuff look for heavy MB users like browser and market and xda... stop them. I only do this last step if I notice it lag or if I get done running a big game. Or if I am going to sleep.

Let me know if I am not making sense.. LOL
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
It's a built-in function in ICS. Go to Manage apps, tap on a system app, pick "Disable".

Alternatively, use a 3rd party app like Titanium Backup Pro, Link2SD or Gemini App Manager.
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
For some reason, premium app no longer allows me to upload png's, but my recent best is 53hrs with 5hrs 41min. of screen on time, which means I actually use my phone.

Stock battery, AOKP Build 25, Steve Garon's 1.14 kernel, 100/1100mhz, interactive governor, standard voltage.

If someone can tell me why the hell xda premium app won't let me post screen caps, I can try to post shots from the battery manager and Battery Monitor Widget.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
Are you still using that milestone 2, SG setup?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Nope, finally updated to build 25,but using the same kernel. The 01-14-12 version absolutely kicks ass - very slow drain under load, zero lag, and zero reboots or issues.
[Nexus S General] .OmEgA:
Damn that's killer! But with the upload issue, I'd love to give you an answer but I'm just as frustrated with uploading too lol.
[Nexus S General] tycruickshank:
How is this possible. 7 hours screen on time is insane. It looks like you have practically no wake locks. I've been trying to hunt down apps that are causing wake locks on my phone but it seems that most of the time its activity manager that's causing them. I can barely get 3 and a half hours no matter what from kernel combo
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
This is the best I can get using Bugless Beast (2nd March) + Matrix 17.5 CFS.

Is this normal or what?

Looking at the awake time, do you guys think that poor signal reception is one of the causes?

If so, what about the last hours in the screenshot?

You see that my signal was good at that time, but my phone kept being woken up many times.

It's weird because I had turned off auto sync and almost everything.
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
Poor signal reception matters a lot. In Indonesia, even in large cities the 3G network coverage can be spotty. I always put my 2G toggle except when 3G data is needed. Even when using wifi, the battery consumption difference between stable all-green 2G is noticeable compared to unstable 3G. I think some people said it 2G and 3G affects call quality, but it's not anything noticeable to me.

Regarding wakeups it's hard to determine without knowing what setup and apps you have.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
2G effect a lot when you in international call..

my nexus s using xl

my SGSII using axis

both have very bad reception..living in west java bandung.consider city right??
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Anyone knows what causes this problem?

As you can see I'm on 2G and the signal is good.

But my phone wakes up so many times.

I did a fresh install with no 3rd party apps installed.

I didn't sign in to Google as well.

I've checked in running services, there are only:

1. GoogleMessagingServices & NetworkLocationServices under Google services

2. Android keyboard

I've turned off everything, from auto sync, backup to NFC.

I've also tried all radios available for i9023, but the results are the same.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
I'd be taking a look at beejive and whatsapp, make sure they are working properly. I've not used them so i can't guarantee anything, but i assume they should both be using push notifications - though maybe one isn't. Might also try turning off network location in the settings, all of them. Also might try logging out of google talk if you are currently logged in.

Note: Do all of these seperately and then test it out. For you this is a very obvious and timed event, so it'll be noticeable within 10 minutes if it is no longer happening.

Alternatively, do half of these at the same time. If the problem is still there, do the next half, and so on. Otherwise, work backwards to figure out exactly which one is the problem. There aren't many things to choose from here so this isn't particularly helpful, but it is definitely a great systematic way if you had lots of apps installed, for example.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
I did a fresh install without installing anything or signing in to Google, but yeah the stats is still pretty much the same.

I suspect this has something to do with my carrier.

Unfortunately I couldn't change my number since I use it for work and my family as well.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
How about aeroplane mode??still have those wakelock??

If that so..flash back stock ICS..keep it stock for a few days..

after that root back dan flash whatever ROM do you like..

I having the same issue in GB era...:)
[Nexus S General] searius:
This are my stats from GymmyNex 0.8.1 rom with airkernel.

I have not use to much the phone those days but the battery life until now is excellent.:)
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
BetterBatteryStats shows beejive and whatsapp? I guess that's an old log?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I hear gummy is exellent in battery consumption!! ( uses very very little battery)
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
Aw yeah, sorry for attaching the old log.

Anyway, I've now found the culprit.

What I suspect is right, my carrier is the problem.

I tried running my phone with other carrier for some few hours and my phone slept well.

Thanks for all the help guys.
[Nexus S General] 309041291a:
I bounced between Noop and CFQ and I was on Air Kernel 3.45 with this set up...

View attachment 942160

Overview...

View attachment 942162

Graph...

(see 'Attached Thumbnails')

On-screen time...

So I played Blood and Glory for 17 minutes and I lost like 5% which I think is great. Gaming is no problem... That huge drop at the start is me watching about 2 hours of Heroes on Netflix using my data. That incredibly straight line is me sleeping for 9 and a half hours about. I went to bed with it at 9% woke up nearing 10 hours later with 9%.... That's A-FREAKING-MAZING! 3 hours and 51 minutes of on screen time Holy Jesus... I could've gone for at least 4 hours and 15 minutes had I just left the screen on and did nothing :P... Air Kernel + Milestone 4 FTW!

This ROM and Kernel have by far the greatest off-screen time I've ever seen. I had to turn Deep-Idle off because I noticed a huge battery drain with it on for some reason... Once I turned it off it was fine. It's VERY smooth and quick and I have had ZERO reboots. Incredibly stable.. And I get all of my quirks like custom Voodoo colors, BLN, and Backlight Dim. Air Kernel is the way to go!

Now my next steps... I was bouncing between CFQ and Noop, using Air Kernel 3.45, and changing the OC settings (1000-800 / Live OC 105-113) within the first hour... So now what I'm going to do is... I'm going to do stick with the settngs I'm using right now and lower all the voltages by 25 (Excluding 100/200, I am undervolting those by 50 for both Inc and Arm voltages). I'm hoping for better battery life and at least 4 and 1/2 hours of on-screen time... We'll see how things go.
[Nexus S General] SirPrick:
Can't post images sonce I need 8 posts to post outside links.

But my stats are:

Time on Battery: 9h 37min

Screen on time : 4h26min

These are my today's stats. I used the phone quite a lot. Messaging, Whatsapp Calling and I rebooted the phone severeal times changing dpi. and switched vom Code Name Android Rom to Pixel and then to Cybergr and then I moved back to CNA. :)

I wonder how ppl can get the same screen on time as me + 2days of standby! Those screenshots have to be fake!
[Nexus S General] sdhanjal15:
My usage...

Matrix kernel

Stock ics

Sent from the Matr1x
[Nexus S General] majinzen:
Not bad even though I didn't use my phone that much. BB with Terry Hau kernel.
[Nexus S General] wafflepancake:
just like me, indosat have a bad signal between 5-10pm

i tried cybergr, cm9 and now pixel rom

i tried custom kernel too such as matr1x and air kernel

but just like you, cant help with battery drain

gps, location service, nfc, gtalk off

2g mode, low brightness

android OS used about 36% :eek:

no game for today, but i use it for chat (ym,whatsup) friendcaster and twitcaster

and my battery now at 70% since 3 hours ago
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
I have tried almost everything to troubleshoot this battery issue, but yeah the only problem is the carrier, Indosat.

I have tried running my phone with different carrier, Telkomsel, and the battery was fine even in stock ROM & stock kernel.

I guess people who have serious battery problem would like to try different carrier first before blaming on the ROM & kernel or other things.
[Nexus S General] wafflepancake:
that just remind me, i used XL before and have a better battery life

i think i should try to use XL again

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novae:
So i'd like to RMA my transformer to fix an issue stoping PC to transformer via USB communication. This is a non-rooted, stock recovery B5O transformer.

While attempting to self diagnose and fix my USB issue i decided to test the TF101G firmware to see if there was any change(there was not), i was also open to the possibility of rooting my device via this method as all of the other available methods require USB connectivity(this now seems like a bad idea as i have no way to NVFLASH back to stock if **** really hits the fan). However now that i wish to RMA my device i would like to move back to the non-G transformer firmware.

How do i go about doing this?

Cheers,

Novae.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novae:
bumpity bump, really no one knows how to downgrade transformer firmwares?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Revolution:
Before you try to RMA your Transformer, try a new genuine ASUS AC adapter. I was having problems with data connection to PC as well, it was fixed by using a brand new cable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
There is no way to downgrade without a USB cable. You can do it without NVFlash.

Root using ViperMod (I think you still need a working USB cable for this part). Install CWM Recovery.

Follow this to flash back to stock ROM & Recovery: theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/ (this noob can't post links yet)

However, I do not think it is worth the trouble. ASUS has told users they can use the 8.6.6.X versions on the TF101 with no issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gls9:
Or wait for the right ICS firmware on the Asus site.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novae:
I haven't tried a new geniune cable but i did try a new aftermarket cable which resulted in exactly the same issue.

Alright, that reassuring. I won't bother to downgrade it before i RMA.

How would getting ICS help?

Is there anyway to disable the the vibration on the ICS leaks when you hit the app drawer button on nova launcher or trebuchet?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewSensei:
First off let me apologize ahead of time if I'm repeating an existing post, I searched and couldn't find his precise question.

Is it possible to remove software that comes preinstalled and is ultimately useless such as Amazon MP3 (obtrussive crud of a app), Samsung Media Hub and Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile (to name a very specific few). Obviously phones are different than computers but the first thing I do wen I get a new PC is to reinstall the OS which clears al the bloatware that computer manufacturers preinstalling but phones do not allow any chance of clearing said bloatware via this method or any other method that I've seen for that matter short of wiping the ROM. I know it's possible using root kits and new ROMs but I don't want to risk my phone or my warranty. I just want 5 or 6 pieces of software to be removed to clear precious memory. I'd accept being able to disable apps so they wuldn't auto run too if removing them is impossible.

Is there any way that any of you know? Please say yes...oh pretty please!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilesja:
You will need root to do anything like that. Autostarts is a good app for stopping apps from running at boot but it needs root.

It may seem a bit intimidating at first but it really is not that big a deal. Root is not going to hurt anything and you will end up with a much better experience.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
Root and then download a file managing app that will let you delete system apps. ES File Explorer is one of them.

Take less them 5 minutes. Heck you get into rooting and flashing different things you'll learn you can recover your phone phone back to a out of the box state in almost every situation.

Just make sure to read, read, read some more. And watch some of QBKing77 videos on youtube about the Epic 4G.

Trust me... as long as you do research before hand and arent a complete moron, you will not brick your phone, its very hard to do. Also, your warranty will be fine as long as you dont overclock your CPU. Rooting your phone does not void your sprint warranty if i recall correctly....just make sure you odin back to a stock ROM before getting service. Make sure buy a different USB cable at the store before using ODIN, the stock cable that comes with your phone junk and will only cause you problems. Get a blackberry cable off ebay or newegg
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah and never pull the cable out in the middle of Odin. If it gets stuck pull the battery.

I cannot see yer siggy. Prolly cause I'm using the app. I hardly touch my pc anymore.

I guess I "afeared" of bricing cause of all the horror stories I've heard about it. I love this phone but it gets old t have to go into running processes and apps and kill a bunch of crap before playing a game or something. I know I'd get more space to stretch if I went back to stock Os but I love the customization ability I get from go launcher ex, it's a system hog though...guess 'll start watchin vids on it, I work in IT so you'd figure I'd be comfy hacking away but for some reason doing anything to my phones has, and still is, a very hard thing too do.

Maybe it is like going in for surgery (which I've done too many times), I get all orked up ever time as if it'smy first time just to find out it no biggy. I really appreciate all the help ya'll are throwing my way. Truly I do, this is my first android os phone (used winmo for last 3 phones) so I'm still kinda noob at this :(

Not sure why people are so afraid to root... my god its the best thing you can do as a consumer... to rely on your service provider to tell you what you can and can not do with you device is ridiculous... even the feds think so that's why rooting and jailbreaking are 100% legal

You could always root it, uninstall bloatware, and delete su? That way bloatware will be gone, and you won't be rooted. ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I know I have done it a dozen times too but that seems to be the common element to the few genuine bricks we see. Maybe it is just their phone that can't handle it. Or maybe it is pulling the cable when it is not stuck...dunno.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
as long as you follow the steps in the tutorials, even the ones from the videos that qbking77 provides, you should have absolutely no problem. study the steps a few times in the videos, just to get familiar with the methods, then apply the steps as you watch the specified video. as long as you take your time and do things slowly, you should be fine.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewSensei:
Videos?

The vids you speak of, are they step by step? What I mean is, does the video secifically deal with the epic 4g and does it show where to get the programs, save them and how to install? I'd prefer to have someone there to "hold my hand" while I root for the first time but barring that if the vids are near that I'll feel better about it. Also, I searched youtube and couldn't find vids for epic 4g for doing this from start to finish.

I did, however, find a plethora of vids about rooting that start from a point AFTER they put whatever files were neded on the phon and have already done something I don't really know how to describe.

The incredibly funny thing is that I work in IT and have for over 20 years yet rooting my phone seems so incredibly dauntng. Much more so than it probably should by what you guys have said. I'm sorry for being such anobbisquet and I truly appreciate everyones responses and help. I've never been flamed on XDA and that is so awesome. Nothing ever gets done when evryone just responds "you're a stoopid noob who can't read so I won't tell you how to wipe your but never mind your phone." Or something as less than helpful as that.

Anyhow, thanks ya'll. I mean it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
in order for you to remove any bloatware, you must be on a "deodexed rom", temporary root only lets you do somethings, but i believe you cannot do that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
Who told you you have to be deodexed in order to remove bloatware? Cause that isn't true. Bloat generally doesn't even have an odex file, however you can still remove safe to remove stock system apps by removing the apk and the corresponding odex file. Temp root gives you root. It's the same thing only it doesn't stick after a reboot. You kinda got your facts all messed up.

Just curious, I noticed my beats audio is 'enabled' and the icon is in the tray with my other buds, and my gaming headphones (using the music app). The deep bass is present as well.

Is that normal? I thought beats audio only was active with the actual beats headphones? Does it just turn on every time you use the music app?

Nope. Any decent headset even car stereos with aux

Yeap its an an audio setting that will work with any headphones or audio system through the 3.5 mm jack, its just that the sound profile is tuned to match the beatz headphone frequency range but will work well with lots of other brands. The jack doesnt tell the phone beatz are plugged, just that a line out is plugged in, just happens that Beatz tuned it to heat suit the exact range of their headphones.
