[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhoepfin:
Use Juice Defender Ultimate.... It will manage your data connection, which basically means when the phone is off it will toggle the data connection on at certain intervals to enable everything to sync, then turn it off again. When you turn your device on to actually use it, it will pretty much instantly turn back on the data connections.

This has completely prevented the drain I used to see all the time from poor 3g coverage where the phone would get red hot in my pocket.

Also, there is very little sacrifice in this as all of your apps are still syncing, just at a little delay.

For the CDMA devices, I think battery drain is much more tied to radio issues than things like screen brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sullytrny:
For my use the hot plug X CPU governor provides the best performance and battery life . Motorola has something called smart actions and they work fine . something this manufactured to do right.

Ps . I'm over clocked too

I'm thinking of Samurai kernel. They are both great kernels though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
That's pretty good what is your normal screen on time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
My overall screen on has been awful since JB.

I average around 3-3 1/2 hours now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
Ouch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JDMDingo:
I would throw out that "extended" battery....i got a nexus one used and it had horrible battery life and it had a extended battery. Did a lot of googling and found that 2100mAh when tested were more like 1200mAh, those batteries lie.....stick with factory quality batteries. Just my 2 cents
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devator22:
I think it might have something to do with maps. I've found that my battery drains slowly until I use maps, then it drains really fast until I reboot. Thing is, stopping maps doesn't help...But a reboot does. May just be me being paranoid, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Interactive is the stock governor for the nexus. It's suppose to give a smooth but not too battery draining experience. Works for me anyway :D but throughout my experience with kernels and governors, the effects are often overrated and unpredictable, so your mileage will vary :P.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravenbf:
So, I have this issue now with the newest Google Maps....6.14.1. I was usually running 16+ hours of battery time, now I am struggling with 12+ hours. Google maps is constantly using 20%+ battery life, and I made sure none of my settings had changed since the update, yet I am getting huge drain. I have done 3 factory resets since the update (Late October) and nothing is changing it. Verizon Galaxy Nexus by the way. I was beginning to think my battery was going bad till I started looking into it. Not sure what to do now, not using Latitude, GPS is always off unless using it, no apps have location services on, and the only things I have selected are Google's Location service and Location and Google search, but I have always had them checked. This is starting to annoy me!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
It's funny you guys are *****ing about 3 hours of screen time, but I barely get 2 hours and I don't know what is wrong with my phone. Even had Samsung send me another battery under warranty and I'm still getting the same ****ty battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josip-k:
Undervolting. 4+ battery time every day. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
The problem is that you people think your life is too important to do a factory reset, despite spending so much time on the internet.

First thing I did when I got my Galaxy Nexus earlier this year was unlock the bootloader, wipe that crappy stock rom and cleanly install a custom rom that isn't some junky CM-based crap like most of the stuff you see out there. I'm currently running Minco 4.1.2 and I have a 4 hour on-screen time like many people have shown.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bewinxed:
I know that feel bro...

And I givez you steps for ultimate profitz:

1 - Backup all files on your SD card minus /android/ Directory.

2 - Flash Google Factory Image for 4.1.2 (Link https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jzo54k-factory-92830c0b.tgz )

2.1 - Flash Latest TWRP (Link http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/maguro/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.1-maguro.img )

3 - Download "Forever Gone" (Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.forevergone&feature=search_result )

4 - Start it and let it run through your empty SD card (it'll overwrite it with 0s, it helped fix a problem on the nexus 7 and helped me with some SD card IO lags, And it removes all traces of what once was, so...)

5 - Download Rasbeanjelly 11-6 (Link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6iQVFetTd4SZ25IS3hVVk8zNmc/edit) It's pure AOSP, Blazing fast and the standby drain is amazing (and notifications don't delay even when asleep ;) )

6 - Download Trinity Kernel latest stable (Link http://goo.gl/jl1Ga )

7 - Flash the above and set up your ROM.

SECTION TWO

8 - Go to Google maps >> Location settings & turn everything off.

8.1 - If you still want location history use backitude instead of latitude (Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gaugler.backitude&feature=search_result )

9 - Use one chat app instead of many (especially FB messenger it sucks battery big time, use IMO https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imo.android.imoim&hl=en ) It's the best, has file transfer, audio/video call, lovely interface and supports most networks even skype.

10 - Sign out of Google talk

11 - Turn off Google+ Sync

12 - Turn off Google Backup

13 - If you don't use it, Turn off Google now (i think it's nice actually).

14 - Install Betterbatterystats & BatteryMonitorWidget to keep watch of any batter hogs should they come along.

15 - Install Velis Auto Brightness (Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS52ZWxpcy5hdXRvLmJyaWdodG5lc3MiXQ.. ) set it to "AMOLED" or for more savings "AMOLED Dim".

16 - ???????????????

17 - PROFIT!

Trust me on this one with trinity & rasbeanjelly

Set the CPU to 1000thingy max/600 thingy minimum

I believe that when i get a quality phone for this kind of cash i shouldn't compromise functionality c: so i don't use battery saving apps, i need my data on and always, I get about 17 hours with ~3 hours screen time, Pm me if you need anything else ^_^

[Edit] Optional : Turn off screen touch sounds/Vibration, if you want to...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
Alternatively, you could use airplane mode and get better results ;)

(j/k - it's just that I read your post and it looked like as if you were giving lengthy instructions in the army)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Nice bump lol.

JB has gotten better in battery very slowly, although I've had to uninstall Maps until I need it, just kills too much battery even with all location settings off, latitude off, etc.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bewinxed:
If you want to get rid of Maps wakelocks/battery drain then do this, And it'll only start when YOU start it c:

As he said, You don't have to turn off Google's Location service, useful c: just download (Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.autostart.manager) And use it to turn off all Google Maps autostarts c: Voila~<3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
hmm..

Is this normal battery life on stock ROM with no custom kernel or any tweaks that is related to battery..

Can be only 14 Hours with screen on 1h 40Min and music have been played almost 1hour? <--- drains too fast?

I just checked my Nexus battery life status

And I noticed that my Nexus have been on 1 day 9 hours 20 min and screen on 3 Hours 30 Min Music have been played 36Min and battery is left 10% . <--- isn't that pretty good for galaxy nexus with everything stock, only touch responsive tweak on build.prop and fully deodexed..? :PP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
That is amazing for a galaxy nexus. I struggle to get 3hours screen on time and 14 hours uptime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK! :)

I keep WiFi/3G on every time, maybe I should buy extend battery for nexus for longer battery life. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Wow. If I do everything suggested in this thread to save battery, I would be toting a very expensive feature phone.

Just keep Facebook sync disabled, and if you're going to be in as poor reception area (like where I work), either disable mobile data or keep it plugged in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsinc1962:
I have to agree with pretty much everything said so far on this thread.

I love this phone but I feel like every time I turn on the screen it's a race to finish what I'm doing to conserve the battery. Like a lot of folks I'm in that 3-3.5 hour range for screen on time no matter what ROM or kernal I try and that's with the 2100Mah battery. Just once I'd like to be able to just use my phone without racing the battery clock.

Sure I could just put it into airplane mode and not turn the screen on but at that point why bother carrying it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewjt19:
I agree that battery life was better on ICS but it's possible to still get decent life with JB. I've used Jelly Belly with Tiny Kernel and have had 14 hours of use with moderate use off and on Wi-Fi..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Guys, also understand that signal strength (Wifi or Cellular) make a HUGE impact on battery life.

If you've got a background service trying to sync or email trying to be pushed to your device and it's taking forever due to slow network connections then guess what? - the battery will suffer.

Some of the guys getting great battery life are always using Wifi or have a very fast HSPA+ connection. My suggestion is, if you know that HSPA is slow then go ahead and switch over to 2G for the additional battery savings. If you have Wifi, then use it - unless it's a very very poor signal.

Not everyone can always acheive the same results of others because of outside forces that we cannot control.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinta:
I've noticed over the last few days that the connectivityservice wakelock seems high. Eg so far today its running at c.24mins and over 3100 counts from 12 hrs up time. I can't say for sure if this is a new situation as i don't check wake locks that often unless I have an obvious problem. The phone does seem to drop into deep sleep OK but the wakelock sounds too high. I use wifi constantly when home but i do also use juice defender to control the radio/wifi. Maybe this wakelock is a trade off from any battery saving from using jd. ?

I do get a bit confused over the best wifi sleep policy but have it set to never sleep. When away from home I'll manually switch off wifi but I am housebound at the moment so perhaps that's why I've noticed the wakelock.

Anyone have any views ?

I'm pretty convinced that it is the same product as this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Plastic...472093?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2ec0a40c1d

but overpriced.

I bought this case and it's nice but it protects mainly the back, there's no proection for the front of the phone,

so if the phone falls onto the floor with the front, I think that in this case the screen will shatter.

(Although I experienced falling of my phone with this case in a street in the rain, :), and the result was only a few scratches)

To note, the LG Optimus case is a near match, but the volume rocker is slightly higher up on the Nexus 4, so the fit isn't great. I tried an LG Optimus G case on my Nexus 4 case at CES on Thursday and experienced this issue.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ramiab8:
yesterday morning i get New Motorola Razr XT910 THE PHONE HAVE Android 2.3.6 bulid number 6.5.1-167-spd-ird-40 from cellcom i have two problems , first one when i watch a movie or play a game in dark place and in not very dark black screen i saw like some area of screen have splatter area with more black color then other area (black blotches-it is in the same place always ) , in normal light you cannot see this ,is this normal in this phone or not ??? the second problem is that when i make call in first ring and second ring i hear noise and after that the noise left , is this also normal ???

another small question if i update the phone to ICS can i go back in any way because i don't want to lose the warranty ???

Thanks again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jeanjacq:
My screen also has that problem. I think most of the Droid Razr's are manufactured from refurnished parts.

You should get that screen problem repaired on warranty.

You will still have your warranty if you do the ICS update officially. Just note you will not be able to revert back to Gingerbread because of the locked boot loader...

I hope this helped ;)

do you have a screen protector? mine does and has "splotches" because some air bubbles.

Hi, I recently flash my OB with the Zeus v7.1 Rom, and try to download the nova and apex launcher, both of them said they wheren't compatible with my device (OB). Is there a way to solve this? Or I strictly need to have ICS or JB?
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
they actually work on gingerbread, i used one once

search the web for gingerbread ics launcher

i think both worked but dont remember...for the widgets i had to push them in system/app
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
From https://play.google.com/store :

Nova Launcher: Requires Android 4.0 and up

Apex Launcher: Requires Android 4.0.3 and up

Dont know if there is a mod version of them so they work on GB
[LG Optimus Black] agritux:
i prefer nova. because i bought it for only $0.25 :D
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
They don't work on GB period. It is reliant on the newer API and thus only work with ICS and JB.

There is launcher that look like that and use older API's. Holo Launcher for example.

Oh Lord... my GNex is crazy after installing AOKP build 3. It doesn't ask for PIN upon startup.

Have tried to replace the SIM with a different one, but no PIN request.

Tried to the open phone, and dial a friend, but it only logs says no network.

If I remove the SIM it doesn't even notice me about SIM is missing....

Tried to roll back to a backup, AOKP build 2, which worked perfectly fine - but no success.

Oooops. Anyone having a tip and tricks I could try out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
What version do you have? Gsm? Vzw?

Maybe you flashed a wrong version.. (eg maguro on a vzw / vzw on a maguro). These things break the radio. The easiest fix is to flash chainfires stock odin images via odin. (For the gsm model).

Does anyone knows if t is possible to change the baseband from xperia u st25i to st25a?

I´ve tried to flash a branded rom from Telcel (st25a) in a phone with st25i, and in model number says that its a st25a but still has no 3G.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ydaud:

i used a st25i firm in my st25a (until today) and everything worked ok, (flashed to solve pink spot issue)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ydaud:
Your net provider might work in 2100 MHz frequency (since both a and i also support). In my country, the net provider only works in 900MHz that's why when flashing st25a within baseband the 3G won't work

I recently flash ICS ST25a ftf into my ST25i, and there is no network issues if we don't flash the baseband files (exclude baseband). So it's not hardware matter, just my thought.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] N3tMast3r:
Hello,

Can u please tell me how u flashed ICS ST25a into ST25i? I own a ST25i and I am tired to wait for the sony official ICS update.

Thank you in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] corsav6:
Both st25i and st25a were uploaded earlier. Pop over to dev section and get the one you want, then flash with flashtool. If you choose st25a then make sure to exclude baseband in flashtool.

You can also root with flashtool after you flash ics.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] N3tMast3r:
U mean there is also the ICS version of st25i? Can u please provide the link where I can download it from?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deadmask:
Yes, you can flash the st25i firmware without excluding baseband.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] N3tMast3r:
Thank u sir! I will give Sony some more days to relase ICS for my Xperia U with SI 1262-0728. If they won't relase it, I will flash the ROM I found. I just wanna try to wait because I do want to lose the warranty.

Thank you again :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
You can't just change, it's different hardware.

HSDPA 900 / 2100 - ST25i

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - ST25a

It will only work if your country uses 2100mhz, the others aren't supported by the hardware.
