I pick the default settings based off of what works best for everyone. Keep that in mind. Any other suggestions are a personal opinion and not mine, ADAs , or ZenSERIES. I stand by what I pick to be default, and I can't recommend any other settings, that's your preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mpokwsths:
Nenamark is not a benchmark like Quadrant or Antutu. It measures very accurately the GPU. So, the GNex at 307 scores 28.7, at 384 scores 33.2 and at 512 it goes up to 38.8. So this kernel is actually a 307Mhz GPU kernel.

Games running poorly? Actually yes, the last Need For Speed: Most Wanted. It certainly runs better at higher GPU clocks.

Request: It would be a nice addition for the next version to add GPU clock seting support. Or a standard overclocked 384 version!

My findings after night 3:

I switched to Imos latest 4. 5 lean kernel to narrow down if my battery was bad or if it's the kernel. I am still on the same jellybro nightly as the past 3 days and I regret to inform that it's the kernel causing my battery to completely drop dead. Below is a screen shot from this morning when I first woke up.

Not sure if I could help out any but let me know if you guys want me to try something different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kamykowsky:
Now works perfect. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not doubting what you're saying, I was just thinking out loud, and trying to help troubleshoot. My main concern was that the app may be outdated, since it hasn't been updated since July, and as a result, may be giving you inaccurate feedback. The best I can do is push this up to bbedward, and have him take a look, or respond directly. Again, thank you for your input...we really appreciate it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
a 384 gpu would be nice tho... ;)

by far my ONLY gripe about the kernel but oh well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
I dont know if people are being sarcastic but yes that is very good battery life. Off charger for 10 hours with 2 hours of screen time and still 48% battery left. If you extrapolate that its 20 hours off charger and 4 hours screen time which is very good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
Are u blind? Look at how many times he charged it...that's not a accurate test or result even... :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
I just looked at the numbers. Not sure why anyone would even ask that question if they had randomly been charging it throughout the day. God forbid I assume someone was asking a normal question

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinydesert:
I am so jealous,as much as I try I always end up with the same issue; Gmail does not sync,the phone falls into such deep sleep mode that even stops receiving emails.

Do you guys think that if I only install the rom I could get better battery,just by doing that?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JY02800190:
Can you give me you weather widget? It's very cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
What is your minimum CPU speed, and your speed for screen off? If it's at 192 for screen off, try bumping it up to 384 or 576. That extra wiggle room for the kernel might solve your missed email issue. As for whether the ROM will give you better battery or not...I can't be sure. That really depends on how you use your phone. I've always gotten excellent battery with Affinity, even before ZenSERIES was released.:)

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

I believe the widget in the OP is from One More Clock Widget, which is free in the Play Store. I personally don't have it... but if you can't find it, or if you'd rather use a UCCW skin, I can try to point you in the right direction. :thumbup:

Edit: here's the Play Store link for the UCCW skin if you want to go that route.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
First thank you, nice find and thank you for reporting.

The 384 GPU Frequency was left out of ZenSERIES 3.1 by mistake, leaving us with a stock 307 GPU. With that said, alot of testing/additions has been conducted today fellas and we'll have a pretty sweet v4 that should fix all that up with more options to come :)

Thank you,

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
This is not a kernel-specific problem, but perhaps the talented Zen devs can provide some insight; Every now and then, my phone will pull extremely heavy current loads at low cpu frequencies.

For instance, the cpu will be running at 350mHz but draining at -1800mA (resulting in a 60%/hr battery drain).

This happens with good signal strength, data/lte/bt/GPS/sync off, and the screen at its dimmest brightness. BMW screen cap attached. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Thank you for posting this. I'll test this myself tonight and tomorrow, and I'll posh it up the chain, to see if this is kernel related or not, and if so, what can be done about it. :thumbup:

*Which app are you using to monitor? I'd like to keep my tests as close to yours as possible, to provide a standard for comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbedward:
Are you positive that's accurate? Sounds like either an ailing battery or an innacurate read by the software.

Could be wrong, but if you have another battery to test id definitely try it for a couple days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
I use Battery Monitor Widget for the battery stats. Like I said, this is not a Zen issue - it happens with almost every rom/kernel. I appreciate the help though.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

I'm not 100% sure that it's accurate, but the battery drain corresponds with the high current draw. The phone and battery perform very well (I've achieved 6hrs of screen on time) but I've always been curious about these bouts of high drain as I've never been able to attribute it to a specific cause.

Battery consumption averages about 15%/hr but it sometimes jumps to 60%/hr for seemingly no reason. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
i was on 3.1 then i switched over the try the latest popcorn (11.8.2) and its pretty good to say the least. but the thing is, i get better battery life on this one but for some reason even with popcorn gpu at the stock 307 like on ADA popcorn seems so much smoother, idk why, just letting it be known

ps - unit of measurement was playing NFS Most Wanted lol, screen name 123lickatree lol ;)

I'm on 3.1 kernel and having issues with WiFi. It works on reboot but say I leave the house and it disconnects from the ap when I come back into the house it doesn't reconnect and I cannot control it(meaning turn on /off). Does any one have this issues? Would a log cat help as well?

Is it normal to have both core on with out heavy use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Glad to hear thank you : )

Looks like Linaro was the blame for some of it. That was removed & now optimized with in my opinion better google source without it. Do let us know after a clean flash that you're all set now :)

Thank you all again,

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Yeah you really shouldn't have any issues. Check out an app like cpu spy and it will show you where you're scaling at. Light usage you'll probably be sitting closer to the 384 slot and deep sleep most of the time. I wouldn't worry about the cores too much.

Thank you,

Oh, Boy, I'll have a try v.4 tomorrow 'cause I have to give a chance to my current kernel :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerobreaker:
v4 causes network unstable to me ... others kernel work fine while sending message but v4 showing sending failed many times
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbedward:
What do you mean by more UV possibilities?

There is a sysfs interface to change voltages, so you can set them to whatever you desire :) (via an app like trickster or manually)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
Try this so far the best for my eyes.

v4 is a great kernel very smooth with PA 2.53-03 with default settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
Thank you for reporting! We have never had any network issues here, did you wipe cache & dalvik cache prior to your flash? Also be sure you havent' modified FSYNC by any chance to be OFF, it is ON by default to keep your data/signal more secure.

Thank you and do let us know.

Purian23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
What type of messages? If you are referring to SMS/MMS I dont believe thats kernel related but more likely radio related. The Kernel does have the Wi-Fi driver though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerobreaker:
yeaa i saw first post and i did wipe cache and dalvik cache

checked and i didn't turn it off ... maybe radio issue, using minooch v5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Keep in mind that not all panels are created equal. I personally have found leaving everything on default but moving contrast to -9 to 0 gives me a great looking screen. Using your settings its crushing blacks badly but the colours do look really good.

It's just the default bbedward decided on. You can change it to something lower/higher if you'd like, by using one of the many kernel control apps that are available.

In my personal experience though, 576 is just fine... we tested probably 11 different versions of v4 over the last week and a half, and I haven't had a single problem with the 576 max screen off speed. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
Looks good, what settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
If you mean you lost 9% overnight (say an 8 or 9 hour period, or longer), that's fine. And no, having the screen of max at 576 won't drain your battery faster; most of the time, when your screen is off, the phone is going to be in Deep Sleep or running at your CPU minimum speed (in my case, that's 230). Setting a 576 max screen off speed will give your phone some "wiggle room", in case you receive an email or other notification. In the early stages of ZenSERIES development, we (and some of our users) were having issues with data drops, when the screen off max was lower than 384...that's really what prompted the move to a higher default value. Hope this helps, and thank you for your feedback. :)

I average between 3 and 3:40 screen on time mostly, and (as of v4) between 9:30 and 11 hours of total uptime. That's with 4G always on (I never use WiFi or 3G), and a couple background processes running. With v3, I was getting about 30 minutes less screen time and about 2hours less uptime.

Here's a look at some shots I took while we were testing v4, and this is (roughy) what I'm averaging.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
This is True! This is a call out to our own bbedward on the great work he's done to bring us ZenSERIES! His suspicions could lead to a nice v5 weekend :) No exact ETA's as always is our disclaimer so ADA is not to let anyone down!

That's the beauty of ZenSERIES constant improvement, it will lean out in its time to where we slow down. But as long as we can push forward, we shall :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
No problem with pa 2.53 or 2.54, booting and running great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Guys, regardless of what ROM you're running, remember to do a clean flash (dalvik and cache) to ensure things go smoothly. You can't dirty flash Zen over the top of another kernel. In fact... just to be safe, don't dirty flash over v3 either, as the Linaro toolchain has been removed, and replaced by a completely new one that bbedward built. A clean flash may take a couple minutes as the apps are upgraded, but having zero issues at boot is always nice. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GabrielNM23:
:good: good balance of performance and battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 32bit:
As I'd say one can see on GLaDOS to understand what I mean. There could be not only MPU UV, but also IVA, CORE and Components voltages.

All in all it's a very good kernel. Fast, smooth and not hungry for battery. The one complain is that SR tends to increase MPU voltages to default ones over my own minimal settings. So I have to disable MPU SR. But the only kernel where SR isn't overtake my settings aggressively is Air Kernel.
