Sounds like your "keep wifi on during sleep" option has been set to never... Go check that and see..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
It's on always :) But thanks for sending me there, turns out that after I wiped my phone and started clean, I forgot to turn off "scanning always available" That probably cost me some battery today.

My battery life is back to its best again with the 4.4.3 radio, disabling fast dormancy seems to have done the trick.

With it enabled I was down to around 4/4.5 hours sot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PetritH:
thats not the case, i always keep it never and i always have my phone connected to wifi even if i don't touch it for 3-4 hrs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Your phone has always stayed awake while playing music.

It may be that this is the first time you noticed because of heavier battery drain..

Then I'd say you're phone isn't sleeping properly.... Or your phone connects to your wifi network faster than most...

Hey everyone,

About to finally get my N5 today after work. I have been reading up and just need a lil guidance. Seems the first thing is to revert back to the 4.4.2 radios, but i have seen info on dalvik/bionic patches and gpu drivers. Is it worth it? Pretty sure it matters depending on what rom. I'm planning on franco and purity rom.

Thanks for any tips :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
That is possible. It just blew me away... I was on my lunch break, listening for music for half an hour. Pulled out my phone to see what the time is, and I was shocked to find out I've lost 5% of battery for 25 minutes without using my phone. Never have I ever seen such a thing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PetritH:
guess im lucky then, losing 2% overnight with my phone always awake :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlrsax54:
I wouldn't worry about the patches or GPU updates right away, just run purity and Franco for now and if the radio is giving you issues then maybe try reverting...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] basafre:
how did u disable fast dormacy in nexus 5??

cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dipzb90:
add the following line to build.prop and reboot. you will need to be rooted.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Boonyard:
Kernel on carbon ROM is lightening fast and smooth. Battery life not great so far though. Are people using interactive or on demand?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
before jumping on this fast dormancy high horse - read this:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Okay so I'm using r54 and PA RC2 driving and... Just entering New Orleans Louisiana and I think your kernel just made a bird hit my windshield. ? Uncool bro, uncool.. ? I'm switching back to r53 at the rest area. ? Will update at a later time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Why are you trying to use Franco's kernel on Windows anyways?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I think you missed the second half of that post... Where I said your phone may be connecting to the wifi network faster than others.. Fast enough that you don't see the wifi reconnect... I guess the final check would be to check your battery stats and saw if wifi is actually turning off when your phone sleeps..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Red5:
You beat me to it. This is obviously his issue, not really a kernel problem, more like user error.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dipzb90:
not jumping on any bandwagon. I understand what it does, and I actually use my phone mainly for browsing/WhatsApp/twitter.

It may have been a coincidence but it has definitely helped mine and my sisters phone both on the three network in London
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AutomaticFailure27:
That's more what I planned. Are the patches/gpu update even really needed in the end? Wouldn't that be more something rom/kernel devs build into anyways?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moh_Jay:
if you run purity then no because Dariosf updates dalvik/bionic with what he feels necessary. GPU patches are experimental and can provide a tiny tiny bit of performance but usually at the cost of bugs with certain apps.

Damn bro I just got a flat tire!! Gotta be the update.. Reverting nowz!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PresidentMcCain:
You are correct! 4.4.3 radio was the reason for the massive battery drainage.

Battery life is back to normal for me as well, after flashing 4.4.2 radio:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] salomaoa:

does it matter where in the build.prop file this is added? Does it really make that much difference or is it best to revert back to 4.4.2 radio??

The 4.4.2 radio is M8974A-1.0.25.0.23, correct?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
These last pages are surreal...

No apps are uninstalled when flashing a Kernel......

Little gnomes inside your device change the frequency due to heat. It's called thermal throttle.

Radio is fúcking you.

Maybe today if I have time.

Yup :) bloody Google.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SketchyStunts:
Those thermal gnomes are dangerous little creatures.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] visceralpsyche:
Just to provide a counterpoint, for me here in Japan on the DoCoMo network (via MVNO bmobile) the 4.4.3 radio is working great. It was also great in Europe recently, so it might be that the US networks are causing issues with it, but not others.

Cheers!

Paul :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luisvilla1993:
Same thing happened to me, but with Carbon ROM... all of my paid apps would uninstall right after flashing Franco. I switched to Slim Kat, and it doesn't happen anymore, so it might be a ROM issue
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bobtehblob:
I know it sounds stupid but it's definitely happening. I'm not alone. Apparently it's also happening to Code_Blue users. I'll do some more digging and try figure it what's happening but I'm not making this s*** up for no reason...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
Many are complaining after 4.4.3 upgrade (especially radio related battery drain). Here are my two cents...

After I upgrade to 4.4.3 (stock + Franco R53 + Xposed) I noticed that battery drain is really high. But I decided to wait some days. Then the Franco Kerner R54 comes and I installed it immediately. The battery life now looks very very good. And some comments about radio - I have now better signal, faster response with latest radio (4.4.3).

I not this for sure, because every day I walking in mountains and I have signal just on the same places. And the signal is significantly better, the data transfer is faster. For sure, I really know what I'm talking.

I didn't notice any changes in the town, where the signal was good before. And I didn't noticed any differences with Wifi.

Now I'm really happy with 4.4.3 stock and Franco R54. I don't even think about downgrade to 4.4.2 radio. So it looks that Google change something and that some users have better experience, other worse.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enddo:
what network are you on?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dipzb90:
it shouldn't matter where you put it. I just put it at the end. in my case I was getting a better signal with 4.4.3, but it was just draining a lot faster.

I would say give both a go and see what works for you. its not a guaranteed fix, it just worked for me and a couple of others in my family

New test build is available, dated 2014-06-18 00:54 http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus5/4.4/tests/

Github doesn't tell anything about changes: https://github.com/franciscofranco/hammerhead/commits/nightlies

Flashed it 2 hours ago, no problems so far. Appears to be battery friendly as (almost) always.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ladaga:
Wifi and whatsapp... I don't know where is the problem... But that battery drain is so hard for me.

I'm trying change the radio but with 4.4.3 radio my network signal is so good (amena (orange), Madrid, Spain)

proving that most of the time what people report about the new tests, is all placebo :)

Hahaha - admit it, you recompile it every now and again just to mess with the serial flashers ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smoosh1:
I reported:

- no problems

- battery friendly as (almost) always

So I reported no new gimmicks, and actually nothing has changed. Thus no placebo. I just confirmed that nothing has changed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
yes I know, I never said you were reporting placebo because you clearly weren't. I am just saying in general. Just an idea. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kusie:
I have a question about the "per app mode" in FKU:

Why is it not possible to also limit the number of CPU cores running?

Are there technical reasons (not possible) or is it hard to code?

Limiting the max frequency is fine, but I´m sure I´m not the only one

who would love to have an option to run simple non-demaning apps on one fixed core and max 1 Ghz...

Thanks,

Kusie
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Wenzo2:
Probably you change to 2g when you don't need a fast connection. For solve it you must change to 2g and again to LTE. If the phone still say emergency call only, do this step again and again...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
franciscofranco - the ultimate troll :D

latest test build allowed my phone to fly through the air. also made it waterproof and shatterproof. no placebo, tested it just now :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 7ewis:
Since updating to r54 on 4.4.3 the battery seems to be significantly worse.

On r53 on 4.4.3 it would use around 2% overnight, but last night my phone used 29%!

I don't have a battery app to see wakelocks, but my config hasn't changed at all since r53...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] californicated:
Reboot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 7ewis:
Done. What would have caused this?

I'm not going to have acess to a computer for about a week, do you think it would be a good idea to wipe clean and reinstall everything? Or go back to r53 just in case?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrCatalyst:
Revert back. I did this yesterday and today, after full charge, I have 85% battery left after 46m SOT and two apps which rely on location a lot thus using a bit more power. Whereas the day before, I was at 18% after 2h SOT with the same amount of power spent on apps, mostly system based.

So yes, the difference is noticeable straight away. I'm glad people have worked out it's the radio causing these issues with battery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Install a battery app to find the cause. Even if you haven't changed anything there are many ways a rogue app or system setting could go haywire. And most likely it isn't the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 7ewis:
What app would you recommend? I used to use BBS, but the reviews for these wakelock apps seem to be saying that the results are sporadic on KitKat.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cris7ianO:
Got a random reboot out of nowhere o.O.

Only thing I did in FKU is to put max frequency to stock 2,3ghz... Rest as kernel came out of the box? Anyone experienced random reboots?

Sent from my Nexus 5 powered by Mahdi 2.6 and Franco R54 on the Steroids called ART
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
BBS, Gsam or Wakelock Detector. And make sure the app has root privileges. KitKat does indeed have a few wakelock issues and some of them can be prevented with work-arounds or settings. Also there's a battery thread in the Q&A section - you will get more help there.

Edit: here is a link to that thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
It's normal for me to lose 30%over night. Sometimes more, is this not normal? Or do i have to turn my phone completely off to only lose %2
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 7ewis:
Thank you. I have downloaded Gsam, I'll see what it says.

Definitely not normal! Your phone shouldn't be doing much at all overnight, you must have a lot of background processes running to loose that much battery.

Like akselic said, I would suggest a battery monitoring program.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
no, not normal at all... I lose about 2-3% overnight with wifi and mobile network off. with wifi enabled I lose around 5-8%. I'd say, disable location reporting if you haven't and see with wakelock detector what is draining your battery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Yikes, sounds like you might be harvesting bitcoins for someone.. just kidding.

Seriously though, you have something going on. I listen to audio all night when I sleep and I lose less than that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Mobile and wifi off? What's the point of having it on? That's why you only lose 2% your phone is a paper weight. I do feel like my phone is doing to much but i cant turn services off. What's the point of having it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
I disagree. I really don't want to be awaken by someone who's in lets say America and is taking pictures of food, and sharing them on Facebook.Phone is on if there is something important and someone needs to call me. Other than that I see no point to have internet when I sleep. All that could do is wake me up for some stupid reason. But then again that is just my oppinion on the matter.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
You have a point. But you could just turn notification volume off and just leave the ringer on instead of saying you only lose 2% over night. It's misleading when your phone is doing nothing and your saying how little battery is using. It makes people like myself think that there are issues with ones own handset.

My biggest drain since the update is Google services. It doesn't matter how often i reboot eventually it starts eating away at the battery. Honestly i find Google now really helpful when i travel because it has all my info there without me having to look it up but i just can't get myself to turning it off.

audiomix wakelock help

Hi everyone, can someone help me with the audiomix wakelock?? How can i kill it?? Im using carbom rom + francos 54 and i have all the time the phone in silence with vibration... i dont know if it helps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granets:
I agree, google now is useful in some cases, especially when travelling. It would be ideal if you can just turn it off then turn it on when you need it, but goole, in their infinite wisdom make it so that when you turn it off, you lose all the saved data and preferences. That for me is a huge mistake on their part.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yak84:
Have you been listening to music?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hounter17:
No i havent listen any music, just play to a game but all the time the game was in mute
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yak84:
Attach a screenshot of the main BBS screen so we can see if the wakelock is real or caused be the game.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gollyzila:
I've also noticed after the 4.4.3 update my Anker car charger doesn't charge like it used to, now it's a slow drain. CurrentWidget says it's outputing ~500ma. Unfortunately I don't have readings pre-4.4.3 but it would charge FAST.

There is a possibility the timing is coincidental and the car charge may have crapped out, but it's only a few months old.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hounter17:
The screenshot was from yesterday, y

I have carge the phone so... bbs will be diferent
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Doesn't work like that. The audio is still being processed, just not heard. Kind of like crying babies on an airplane. You might not be "listening" but they sure as hell haven't stopped. :P

I like to sleep at night, as does my phone. I just hit airplane mode at 10pm and off at 8am. I lose 1-2% during those hours. Not sure why anyone would want a crank call at 3am, unless you're a doctor.

Ok, but is something i can do to prevent it?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AGiLiT:
I tried going back to 4.4.2 radio but data speeds took a big hit. The screenshot shows a couple of tests after the upgrade, a couple today with old radio and then back to new radio. They were all taken at the same location. I'm on Sprint here in Houston and one of the anticipated features of 4.4.3 was enabling connectivity to Sprint's upgraded network on the Nexus 5. Seems to have worked. ;) [/IMG]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Technecium:
Contact the game developer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] supernova_00:
yeah, you have to actually disable/turn the sound off in the game. Turning the volume down won't do anything but make it quiet while the sound is still playing. Think of it like a portable music player where if you just disconnect the headphones the music is still playing, you just can't hear it.

For everyone having battery issues: check your apps to see which use most of your battery and see how long they are awake. I've noticed a lot lately that gmail and Google+ are staying awake for no reason and I have to hit the force stop button for them to stop.

Just checked and my gmail has been awake for 1hr and 3 minutes. Same time I've been up. I woke up, opened gmail, swiped right to delete two emails, closed gmail, and now it has been awake ever since. [emoji15]

Just wanted to say thank you to franco. First time using your kernel and already bought FKU cause I'm so impressed. 4% battery drain over night with Google Now, WiFi, and mobile all on. I think I'll be sticking with this kernel for awhile. :thumbup:

Its what i do, i dissable the sound of the game from the menu inside the game .... i always do that with all the games
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] supernova_00:
Same here. I don't know what to tell you then because you shouldn't have that audio mix showing up then. Maybe there is a bug with the game or bad programming where they just mute instead of not play the sound.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sordna:
OK I've had apps consume 10% overnight but at 30% I bet something is waking up your screen. I had that problem few days ago after I updated ES File Explorer which I had given root. But after the update I didn't do anything and SuperSU was waking my screen through the night because ES was requesting root access. I found that out by checking my screen wakelocks in Wakelock Detector.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] supernova_00:
I stopped using that app years ago, actually all file explorers, because if you look at the data usage in settings those apps all upload(ed) hundreds of MB a month in the background.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexusmaniac:
Didn't think there was a difference because it was still r54 ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Nice job as usual Franco. In the changelog it says it's 'Merged 4.4.3 commits', this means it works on 4.4.3 right?

Sorry for the super super nooby question, just want to be extra extra cautious! :S
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's amazing to see how frakked 4.4.3 looks, it's been a while since I've seen so many people unhappy about battery life, looks like 4.3 and 4.4 all over again. And which is even worsening is that there's nowhere for me to grab more batter savings without introducing real lag on the device :'(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
What do you think? :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PetritH:
Looks like the real problem is 4.4.3 radio
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Oops, got mixed up in the changelog, my mistake I apologise
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fredfox_uk:
Gotta agree. Flashed the 4.4.2 radio back and the battery life is excellent for me with R54. I'm still getting that NlpWakeLock (not kernel related) but the duration is not as bad.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vomer:
Hmm I am not sure... mine has been pretty much on par with 4.4.2 tbh. Could be that the new radio does not help some.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sam razzy:
Link pls ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Check your location settings to resolve NLP wakelock. "Device Only" mode will get rid of almost all NLP wakelock issues, & itvwill give better battery life all around w/ normal day to day use.
