How is it BS? It's legitimate discussion. No one's whining that the battery's so bad we have to sell our phones. I feel like people are getting butt hurt and can't accept that there are weaknesses in a device. I have no problem accepting that my Nexus 4 is weak in the camera or battery department. My SGS2 was horrible in the development department (ask team hacksung), and my Motorola Milestone was even worse in the development or even usability area (lagfest even in 2009 anyone?). But at the same time we look at the plusses. The Nexus 4 is a Nexus device so has ridiculous support on the forums. We can tweak it however we want. The GS2 was the best damn phone at that time and had a great camera. The Milestone was a huge step forward with an Android 2.0 device and finally somewhat of an iPhone competitor. We're in XDA and I think we're all mature enough for adult discussions without the need to get emotionally charged.

Anyhow, this is my first round of battery testing. Disclaimer is that this is just some test app out there. It's not indicative of normal use, but what's important is that this is a comparative test. I can test it against stock CM10.1 later.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Karlo666:
Have you used my device?I think not.FYI I have disabled every aspect of possible data usages, from maps to Google + even i disabled Google talk and logged off from G+.

Writing this I lost 5% off battery whit 50% brightness and I'm connected to WiFi whit mobile data off.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Is this not fine? I'm having trouble understand this. When people say they lose 1% overnight, there's many factors I think of:

- Are you on wifi or 3G?

- What services do you sync?

Google Now and Google Latitude suck an enormous amount of battery and can account for 2%/hour drain on 3G easily. If you don't use these services, that's fine, but recognize that there are those users that do.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Well obviously u should not be loosing 5% battery writing a small paragraph, try full wipe something wrong on your end.

I lost 0% writing this
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Karlo666:
Im worried because i disabled all of that things and still i get 8% to 10% overnight(3g) drain.

I get 8% drain on Wi-Fi, although I have touch control enabled. Stop worrying
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Can you show your BBS screenshot and your battery stats from Android? That kind of drain isn't bad. If you're sleeping 8-10 hours, thats 1%/hour which is fine. I get 1.4%/hour with Latitude.

Hey guys just wondering but is this type of battery life normal...and to add to that I usually have about 3 bars constantly and have only installed 3 3rd part apps including those 2 in the screen shot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
1) BBS: Kernel wakelocks

2) BBS: Partial wakelocks

3) Android battery screen showing apps consumption and your screen on / wifi usage (but you're on 3G anyway right?)

4) Optional: BBS Other

I think we can figure out quite a few things from that.

Finally let me know what is syncing.

Thanks :good:

This is a development thread for a Kernel, most battery consuming parts of the phone are Display and Radio, both are NOT controlled by the Kernel.

Besides that, its a smartphone, use it like that.

Who of you is not getting through the day with one charge? (excluding extensive gaming for 2+ hours for obvious reasons...)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] lannister80:
CIFS support?

I see this kernel doesn't have CIFS support. I'm trying to mount an NFS share on the phone, and it doesn't work.

Any chance you can build in CIFS support? Or does anyone know of a kernel module that works with the Franco kernel and 4.2.2? cifs.ko of some kind?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Warbuff:
It works go to cm discussion thread to find patch
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesertVelo:
The kernel works very well with CM10.1M3 - I am currently running CM10.1+ without any issues. The reference to the patch is the wifi settings. Refer to my earlier post with the information of what to change and a flashable zip.

Yep, if i remember right he didn't add it to Gnex until there was a couple milestone builds either ...

I've been running r121 with PA 4/08 build and my device has been running really hot and battery life has been terrible compared to what it normally is. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a patch I missed to run it on PA. I didn't read any issues on their forums so I can only assume it's the kernel as my setup hasn't changed since I've gotten my nexus 4. I even flashed everything several times to verify fully wiping each time. I hope it's something stupid. I really love Franco kernel.

The patch is for cyanogen rom and its a third party patch for the rom nothing to do with franco kernel, if i was u id head over to PA thread and read/ask around over there, lots of franco users there.... I run current version of AOKP(todays) with no issues
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Devilman539:
I don't have any major issues other than heat and drain
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I had same issue with AOKP and 115-121 builds but 111 and prior worked fine?.... But after full wipe/factory reset 121 works great no more heat, something was gummed up and wipe fixed it. but since no one else is talking about heat its something on your end most likely. but ya heat is a battery killer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hern1989:
Im on the same PA build with r121 and i am getting good battery life. No problems like you mentioned. Maybe try a different rom?Or it Might be your phone. Or try the stock kernel first and see if its the kernel. I doubt it though. Good luck.

Screen on time by its self is a useless measuring stick.

What is the user doing with the screen on? Reading a book? Browsing the web with chrome/texting/YouTube/games etc. Then you got to factor in what the radio is doing. While your screen is on is your radio pulling down constant data ( YouTube or other anything else that is using a good chunk of data) and if so are you cellular are you 42mbit network / 21/ etc. 2g. WiFi.

Simple saying I get x amount of screen time without any usage details = cool story bro.

Hey Francisco.

I've been having massive issues with Interactive governor and random reboots and even 1 occurrence where my phone bootlooped and I have to fully wipe and reflash etc.

I have a log of my most recent reboot/crash. I hope it makes some sense.

I was listening to music at the time that the reboot occurred, though reboots have happened during times when I wasn't listening to music.

Many thanks for giving this your attention.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Strange. That was a reboot triggered by the Watchdog, but it doesn't show why. Can you use Ondemand please? If it happens with Ondemand then its a whole new level of problem :)

I was running r17 and it hard rebooted during Navigation. I upgraded to r18 for now to mitigate. What concerned me was when I was looking at the last_kmesg log, the kernel was showing up as stock and showed no errors for the reboot.

Loving each release of this kennel. Are you able to reproduce the amazing SOT of some users with 3g (good reception) and stock franco Kernel settings?

Yesterday I had a test run using phone more than usual and I drained my entire battery in 10 hours with SOT of 2 hours on 3g. All I was doing was using Facebook Messenger and Google +. I am using greenify and stock kernel settings. Just want to be able to get the amazing times others are posting since I enjoy this kernel a lot.

What is true is any 3d game or app is a battery killer.....

tracemarins zip contains a kernel without the ARP offload patch and the old, unpatched wifi files

francos kernel doesn´t include the ARP offload patch either, like the old cm kernel in the tracemarins zip

so you get stock wifi behaviour like it was before :)
