Try simpleaosp and flash ak kernel. use smartmax governor with row scheduler and hotplug to Eco(2) set this all in synapse.. check for rough apps..

I easly get 4+SOT with 22hrs standby on that combo, ALL ON DATA.. :)

Can anyone plz help me .. I am using nexus 4 and i have some problem relating to battry ...

My phone's battry doesnt go above 87% .. And there is a lot of battery drain ..

Any suggestions for this plzz ?
[Nexus 4 General] rondias18:
ROM? Kernel? Settings? Please specify details
[Nexus 4 General] pankajsidana:

Which all setings should i mention ?

Gpu - conservative
[Nexus 4 General] rondias18:
Have you undervolted?
[Nexus 4 General] pankajsidana:
Nope
[Nexus 4 General] rondias18:
Try using Wakelock Detector to see which apps eat up the CPU and Greenify those apps, try charging your phone in switched off mode and check if it reaches 100%

Otherwise try changing the kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] pankajsidana:
I have done the greenify work.

I ill try to charge it with phone switched off and wil report tomorow ..

Bdw if i have to change which kernel is the best for battry backup ?
[Nexus 4 General] sam 4x:
Iv got strange problem.after updating to 4.4.4 i get SOT around 1.30-2 hr max.. Before update SOT was 3hr and above.

[Nexus 4 General] rondias18:
Usually franco's kernels are supposedly best for battery life, but try experimenting with Mart1x, or HellsDoctor or Trinity etc there are loads out there for the N4 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] pankajsidana:
Not charging . aftr 87% .. I pitted my phone on charge at 2.a.m n removed it at 4:30 a.m and when i switched on the phone the battry was 87% ..
[Nexus 4 General] rondias18:
You're not the only one my friend, the N4 battery was never supposed to be great, 1.5-2hr SOT is fairly moderate I would say. Best Advice I can give you is Root the device and start exploring different ROMs, kernels and play around with settings.

I used too get 2hrs SOT max, nowadays I get atleast 4hrs SOT on a full days use. PM me i'll be happy to help :)

I use the stock ROM as I can trust enough people reviewing the Android source to ensure there's no malware though.

How do you know if that ROM has a key logger sending your username and password somewhere or other?

I should be wary of Google, but they also have a lot to lose. Random ROMs with no source available generally don't.

Edit: To keep this on topic, I've been getting crazy battery life with the new Z3 Bionic and Dalvik with the naruKa kernel. The performance is just about the best I've seen as well. Worth checking it out IMHO. I'll collect some battery stats and post them later this week...

Optimization tricks?

I just switched over to L from LiquidSmooth after seeing all the positive talk in here. I'm a bit new to using HC, though, so some guidance would be awesome! Do you guys have any recommended settings for using the latest stable L (9002) with hellsCore b58?

I set my CPU governor to intelliactive, otherwise I haven't changed a single setting in HKM. I've read a lot of the thread but most of it still sounds like Greek to me.

Other than the CPU governor setting, the only modification I've done is changing my build.prop LCD density to 268 since I like my real estate. Greenify is moving in full force, pretty much everything is hibernating except Lookout.

I feel this little guy getting decently warm, but I haven't had a full day's worth of use yet, so while I'm getting used to tweaking and having a lot of fun with it I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks for everything you guys are doing! To think I was thinking of switching to an iPhone... I feel like this N4 has a lot of life left in it.
[Nexus 4 General] dcop7:
Undervolt a bit. It should help with the warm. Try about -50mV at start. Try to increase that. I have -100mV, but that depend on several factors. What type of binned is your CPU chip (you can check here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/poll-cpu-binning-t2052496). You should have a tab with this. It is just undervolt all the frequencies at the same time (probable the name is "Global offset", at least it is in hellscore kernel manager)
[Nexus 4 General] oversteps:
Thanks for the tip. I set the global offset to -50mV, so I'll see where that gets me.

I hadn't heard of CPU binning before, so that's pretty interesting. Mine came up as "Faster."

Mine too. That influence how much you can undervolt. And there is a thank you button, don't need to make a new post to thanks :)

[Nexus 4 General] Aaron_Knowles:
Yeah, I've never used Greenify. I've never seen the need to. Maybe when my battery starts deteriorating I'll give it a look into, but for now, I doubt it'll benefit me.

I probably average 5 hours SOT. Depends on usage. Majority of the time its WhatsApp, a lot of XDA browsing and reading, Reddit Now, Clash of Clans, watch a few YouTube videos from people I'm subbed to. I'm on Wi-Fi majority of the time, so I'm not sure if that's more or less drain than data roaming, I've always thought it was less, but still.

My usual ROM is simpleAOSP using Unleashed kernel, HYPER is a pretty great governor if I'm honest.

Right now I'm seeing what all the fuss is about with liquid smooth, though. Not that ROMs matter, SOT is always the same since I use the same kernel and settings.

Will find the screenshots I have and post later. Though I've posted in several kernel threads already.

[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
To be honest I've seen better on KitKat but that's with a bunch of xposed tweaks (greenify, unbounce, gravity box, etc).

The L prerelease is definitely faster though, so I don't mind trading a little extra SOT for great performance. Hell, less waiting around staring at the screen for something to happen may even save you SOT in the end. :)
[Nexus 4 General] simmac:
Step one: Check for Wakelocks.

Step two: Download Unbounce (XPosed needed)

Step three: Unbounce the Wakelocks which are keeping the device awake for the longest time (in most cases those are the NLP wake locks).
