Turns out it was a email trying to send for last 3-4 days , I wish Gmail would only try for a certain amount of time and then fail and alert you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
gmail is terrible for this. A couple weeks ago I tried to send a time-sensitive email to a client of my photography business and it got stuck sending. I didn't want to send another one because I was afraid the "sending" one would get sent at some random time later and confuse the person. I think I got it unstuck by replying to the original email again, but changing it to be sent to myself, then the one stuck on "sending" became "draft" and I was able to resend it. Very annoying.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Yep ! it happens to me every single time I update a rom , if I don't go back and clear the Gmail app it's guaranteed to happen, I musta forgot when I updated to 4.4. 3 , it only ever happens to me on my Nexus phones, I can remember this since my Nexus One . .it is very annoying

Can people please try to understand the rom they are using? Reading helps!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jphilippon:
Somewhat OT. Input please!

Do you guys use location history or reporting? Both?

Do you do any "wakelock" tricks like disabling Google Search keep awake or using Xposed to deny Wakelocks?

Or do you just deal with it and get decent battery anyways?

I'm using .43 and if I don't use wakelock terminator, Google Play Services has a lock for >50% of the time the phone is on standby. This is what I'm set up with currently and it stops it 100%. But I don't want to lose functionality if I don't have to.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
Normally I don't have this problem but the last few days Google Play Services has been using 20% of the battery. Might be something with Google's servers. That's also the same time that I started using Nova Launchers new "Ok Google" hotword function.

Either way I don't think it's kernel related.

Edit- I turned off optimize WiFi setting in WiFi advanced settings and the wake locks have returned to normal. Maybe a new 4.4.3 bug
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
easy :)

hi,

NLP is the network location gathering function and so this wakelock happens when your device

wants to get it's location via network ( wifi network and/or celltower triangulation )

so when does that thing turn havoc? it's most often when one of the following happens:

- bad wifisignal

- changing wifi network/router frequently for example with extended networks ( same network several routers )

- bad cell signal

- cell signal droping in and out frequently ( while driving through remote areas or with bad signal in a place for example )

so in your case it should clearly be the "bad cell signal" you're on lte which is anyways more power consuming

than 3g and 2g and have only one bar which usually is very week since they show mostly 3 or 4 bars till

almost nothing works anymore :)

so you should find a spot where your cell signal is better, use wifi if you have a good connection or location only if not.

location only has the advantage that if your device has no sat-reception and thus cannot deliver

it's location, it will not try non-stop to do that, while if network location, (high accuracy) is set,

your device can get into a state where it's non-stop trying and thus kill your battery faster than

gps only as a source, albeit in theory gps would use more power than wifi and phone.

so location only may sound like a contradictory solution but due to the described above "bug" of non-stop

attempting to deliver the info, albeit the connection and thus resources are bad or not sufficient,

in this case gps only is indeed better for the battery than power saving or high accuracy for example.

1000 attempts at 1mA power consumption on wifi makes 1000mA, thus 40% of your accu,

while 10 attempts at 10mA power consumption on GPS would make only 100mA thus nothing

the numbers are examples to make that point, not tested thoroughly that far.

by the way this issue has been brought up and explained many times throughout xda, so if you want

to know more, just search a bit on xda and google around a bit. you will easily be able to get an even better picture.

I doubt that lte is sucking more juice than 3g and 2g...and even wifi.

Unfortunately i'm not able to test it cause i don't have lte coverage nor at home, neither at work. Is anybody willing to test it for me? I believe lte is best battery saver, no matter what signal strength...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jumparound246:
Hey, great idea! Purchased it long time ago and didn't used it till you mentioned it. Tested a bit and figured out that the kernel itself comes with that feature...

No matter if it's ticked or not, dt2w is not working if proximity is covered...even without the app [emoji6]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
me too :)

a) i share your doubts but official (google) statement is that gps is more power consuming so i'm not ready to

go there to fight all the various opinions without having proof for any variant. i have very good experience with

device only but the point at the end is not the power consumption itself, but the number of attempts to provide

location which i stated clearly. so whatever the consumption really is, also compared, many 100 attempts cause

many 100 wakelocks and battery drain while device only is somehow accepting the fact if there is no sat-signal

and thus gives up for a while at least and does not non-stop try to no avail.

b) signal strenght definitely matters, it has been tested and stated an endless number of times and has not changed in the last 30 years

battery with good signal has always been better than with week signal so the device has to logon to the celltower

more often if the signal drops below a certain level, be it to re-connect and/or to search for a better signal and/or

to skip back and forth between frequencies and towers if there are several.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Your system will lag with a swapfile. Compared to RAM, it's pretty slow to read/write to disk. ZRAM is a better option, I used to add it to my kernels when devices had a gig or less RAM, but I don't think I'm going to add it to this device with 2GB of RAM. That should be enough.

Can you describe the situation where apps are being killed too aggressively?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] benzso63:
Yes .11 drain faster. So far the best is 0.9
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ValoXis:
I don't have battery drain. So, I've not tried .9 to compare with .11.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gaetanolip:
I respect your opinion but i disagree. Don't like Zram, it lowers ram space...

I always used swap file to improve multitasking in my note 2, multitasking was great and no lag. Kit kat is too aggressive in killing apps, now i lowered minfrees, and i also am using grennify.

Furthermore . if you add swap file support it' up to the user if activate it or not, so swap support would be only an option...

my opinion on adding clutter

I like this Kernel very much as it is right now.

Personally, I prefer and hope for a Kernel that's as slim, swift and clean as possible.

That would mean as few options and clutter for particular interests as possible.

The only "room for improvement" I see is the battery consumption for DT2W (but that's not ElementalX specific).

That's my opinion only, of course.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Swap uses your disk as memory

Zram increases the apparent amount of memory available by compressing some of it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gaetanolip:
i respect your opinion too.

But, what is the bad to implement swap support? If you dont like it don't activate it and Kernel will work just as now, slim, fast and stable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WayneGretzky:
I do also respect your opinion.

Possible backdraws:

- more complexity -> increased risk of bugs

- every option brings some overhead, if only small

I just changed the thermal throttle from elementalx (1) to stock (3).

- Additionally, regarding to this setting, in all the three options, the throttling is based on the battery temp (just like stock, or at least I read that before) or the CPU temp (like some other custom kernels)?

It's better if you flash the stock system partition if you pass from a custom kernel to another one, you can do it without losing data or apps, except for the ones that are installed in this partition like superSU or Xposed. Simply reinstall them after the process.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
From within the custom recovery the system partition is writable no matter if the rom itself is rooted or not, so it should work.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still new to this kernel but that's basic android knowledge I guess :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
a) it's in the op and you answered your question in your own post yourself, so why ask again if you already were reading how to do it.

b) answer you got is definitely wrong, so that guy better say nothing than give wrong information

as stated above the answer you gave yourself is correct, if you're coming from franco you have to flash the rom first as the easiest way, or the kernel that comes with the rom, i.e. stock.

then reboot the system and after that reboot into recovery and flash the kernel. this is because franco is altering the bootimage and thus you

could get in trouble when flashing another kernel directly over franco's without going back to the stock kernel first.

and again it's much better than i can ever do it described by the dev in the op. read again carefully should there remain any doubts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adityameena26:
But problem is..I think when flashing stock image of 4.4.3..my whole data will be formatted like apps..personal dat (music,pictures etc)..thats why I asked data should I proceed without flashing stock rom?

Adityameena, sorry for the conflicting information you received. It is recommended to flash your system before flashing another kernel. You could do this either by flashing the system.img via fastboot as mentioned earlier. You won't lose your personal data like picture or downloads.

An easier way to do it is just to flash a zip of the stock ROM, like this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771010

[ROM] Stock 4.4.3 KTU84M (flashable) + SuperSU

Steps in recovery:

0. Don't wipe anything

1. Flash stock ROM

2. Flash gapps, kernel, and any other things you use

3. Boot.

You won't lose personal data like pictures or user apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sam.balia1012:
just to be clear:

while in recovery flash stock kernel -then- flash elemetalx kernel right after (without rebooting) ?

essentially before a custom kernel is flashed--- flash the stock kernel before it.
