Not exactly what I wanted to see but oh well. Never mind...
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
If anyone used a Nexus 4 maybe he could remember that i did the same tests for nexus 4 too....but now its differend...

On nexus 4 i used Antutu tester which benchmarks the battery life by pushing the phone to the limits until it was reached 20% of battery life. By making this we had a lot of great results but after talking with Franco on Google+ he told me that the benchmark is based on the speed the cores are using and by him having the thermal throttle to a bigger value he didnt lose core power while pushing the phone to a higher temps making the phone drain faster...so we had results but they was a bit inacurate...

On nexus 5 i try to think and found a way to benchmark the battery life again...by using some benchmark applications i found on Google Play Store but none of them will give me the perfect scores that i want to test and don't "throw" back any kernel and the developent by having the same results that i had with Nexus 4.

So the only think i was able to think is to try the phone like i normally do, without any games, and take the results when the phone closes by it self due to no battery life at all...

I make this for now i have only test Trinity and Stock...but more kernels will come...right now im testing Francos (4/2/14)...feel free to judge in proper way the results...feel free to experiment by your self...but always remember that this is benchmarks or if you like MY way of using the phone so don't judge only by the results...

As for the testing i will always use pure stock 4.4.2 rom!

P.S oh and sorry if i killed English :P

P.S1 To any admin...pls don't lock this cause its differend from the thread about battery life per user stats...thanks!

Next kernel: ElementalX 0.26

2/02/14:Finish benchmark for Trinity T5 7.5A

4/02/14:Finish benchmark for Stock 4.4.3

7/02/14:Finish benchmark for Franco r32

8/02/14:Finish benchmark for Faux 008m

13/02/14:Finish benchmark for Elementalx 026

13/02/14:I will rerun tests with the addition of idle drain... So I will let the battery drain all day with my usage... Then I will let what's left of juice to drain through night... Same settings as before... And I will have also idle drain that alot of users asked for it... Sorry for the delay I'm trying to have as much as correct results to help us all...

That's OK, your English is better than my Greek. But just so you know, you spelled 4.4.2 wrong:laugh:

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Sorry to [MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION] guns but with this drain i can't post the results... So I'm delaying the 2nd day results of franco for tomorrow... Cause extremely wifi_rx wakelock
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
After a long ride i finally finish testing franco...even that he gives me some difficulties just like the test on Nexus 4...next test kernel is faux 008m....

I wanna say something in here...is that this is a very long proccedure.....and i always saw ppl complaining about their battery life and how they can get a better life but as i saw on this thread, not like the same thread on nexus 4 that uses some pretty unrealistick data, ppl don't treat this thread as the users of nexus 4....

For me i know which kernel is the best...but im cycling my battery for the community here to have an image of how kernels react!!Thanks!!!

And again..sorry that i kill your english! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] cawith:
Your second day of franco looks a little weird. Less battery time than the first day and way less screen time. Any comments on that?

Μέχρι στιγμής με πιον θα ελεγες οτι είσαι πιο ευχαριστημένος?
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
Interesting indeed.

Though, the variables are off the charts and skew results, which shows.

No offense to you or your efforts.

Google search being one variable, one day it's not very active, the next it's got a bug for Olympic results to ones local and the battery life is hugely effected.

Or, congestion on carrier, your location, longer talk times etc..

So, again thanks for the effort, but it is what it is, a huge guesstimate.

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
As I said this is a benchmark and a test... Of course we couldn't have the same results... Also I don't use Google now cause it isn't any help in my country.... Of course talk time has to do with drain that's why I'm gonna retest franco and trinity with lower talk time so you can see its SOT better.

I always use Trinity and faux... I don't like franco and elementalx is good kernel... All kernels as tou can see from the results are the same +/- in terms of battery life... But I like the support of the dev the features etc... If a dev don't have dedicated app I won't use it... Thats my way... You have to try many kernels and see what you like most.
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
My only suggestion might be, use each kernel for a week and compile results to help even out day to day inconsistencies.

Cheers

Edit to add, unless that's what the title implies.

I lose 1st day elementalx results cause of an reboot... So I postpone it for tomorrow... Sorry about that but I have lost 20% at this reboot...
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Nice thread, thanks for taking the time to share these with us.

Could you add Bricked kernel to your testing? Show-P hasn't updated it since 12/30 but I think he is dealing with some personal issues at the moment. It's still the kernel I get the best battery life. Curious to see what your results show compared to the others.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
bricked was inside my first kernels to try..but after i saw that noone cares about this thread...i remove them....i will re-added

2nd day on elementalX i had extremly wlan_wake wakelock today causing AndroidOS to be awake for 2:40....so no test today either...elementalX is seems to going to be the most difficult to test after francos
[Nexus 5 General] Felnarion:
I greatly appreciate what you're doing. My only sadness is that comparison is essentially impossible as your usage varies greatly. But by all means, continue. If we can get enough data points, averages should start to tell a story.

Greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Thanks a lot, greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
I will retest kernels with 1h and more phone calls...to have as less as possible...
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
see, there are more people interested in your work than you initially thought. sure, the thread might not be the most active, but the people are really interested in the information :)
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Definitely agree. Battery life is important to everyone and while no test is without it's flaws, this will give people a chance to compare some of the great kernels against an important variable, battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
Thanks for all of the info, very useful.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
+1 I was a silent "lurker" of the thread and found the results helpful.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
At last 1st day of elementalX is done...no wakelocks today...call manage to stay a bit more of 1hour...

The red parts are the parts im gonna retest...also one more day for franco to eliminate 2nd day wakelocks....

Stock and trinity test are gonna retest to lower calls to a bit more or less from 1hour!!

As for the new 4 rows...i add two row of pure battery for each day.....by taking the battery life and removing the screen and calls...after that i take the average of two days results and find the drain per hour...im not sure if this is something helpfull having the battery life minus the call and screen time..but im trying to find more ways of providing better results...also im extremly bad at math!! :P feel free to add your ideas about the results!!
[Nexus 5 General] whizper:
Feel free to do that. Actually can you test each kernel for a year. Then deliver the results to my heirs :silly:

Very much appreciate your test results pikachukaki !!!
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
Good grief whatever.

I tried to offer a suggestion to perhaps smoothen results and one guy has to post it like it's the stupidest crap ever posted..

What the Sam hill is wrong with it?

Don't want a little more accuracy?

Is it because I questioned the validity of these very random tests?

(Edit to remove my rant boil over.

Apologies to all for that part.)

Honestly I see no use here doing random over the day tests.

I'm done with this thread.

[Nexus 5 General] z3phyr02:
+1. I only tried the stock kernel by chance and found that it blew the other kernels out the water.

I can't say that about all the areas because I don't know. But what I do know is that I use my phone all day with music playing and stock kernel gave better battery by far. The reason I think is because stock kernel turns off all 3 cores when not needed. While Franco for example would always have 2 cores on regardless.
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
2nd day of elementalx done.... I will not post it cause I'll Consider your comments about the test... So I will rerun the tests but this time I will not force the phone to die before I go to bed... So all the battery left at the end of the day should left for idle drain during the night..

I will try to make my calls last at least a bit more than 1 hour.... (ppl on relationship will get me) and let's see what those tests had to say... Lets hope for no wakelocks this time so I can finish it on schedule.... ﻿

Oh also faux updates to 009 so I will test this.. If franco release his until then I will test the newest too...

Hi there!

I love your kernel test, they are verry useful!

Right now I'm running linaro kernel which is based on franco, could you test that kernel maybe? :) I would like to see if linaro actually is better or..

But still, keep up the good work!
[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:
Linaro has performance additions... I'm not sure if testing a franco based kernel will show any different than original franco...
[Nexus 5 General] gd6noob:
Do u know if undervolt and underclocking really help with battery life or is it for less heat generation?
[Nexus 5 General] jlevy73:
Underclocking will have a significant improvement on battery life. I UC to 1.3ghz for a couple of days and got an additional 1 hours of on screen time. As for UV, I've never had a phone stable enough to UV enough to see big gains in battery life. So in my experience under clocking definitely improved things, UV only improved things marginally.
[Nexus 5 General] 1337RYoN:
Woot Franco r33 and Faux 010 are out!

Also, I noticed that the first charge after flashing a new kernel, i get 2.5 hours SOT but in subsequent charges things improve a bit.

Is that normal?
[Nexus 5 General] HUNTERANGEL121:

[Nexus 5 General] pikachukaki:

Yes, problem was solved by Software. I sent back my phone to Sony Center via warranty for Touch Screen issues but that was before the FW .136 was released.

It's an amazing device and probably the best one out there.

Do bare in mind that a lot of new devices are being released in March (after MWC) and new features as well an next generation CPU and GPU's will be implemented, so if you do have the money and don't mind waiting, maybe it is worth holding off till then.

Z1 has amazing performance, is waterproof and the camera can take astonishing pictures.

The screen has vibrant colors but the viewing angles are not great ( could be a no no for some). The external speaker is also a disappointment as it has waterproofing membranes.

I would advise you to read reviews online and see if that's the device for you. Other phones to consider would include (LG G2, Nexus 5, HTC One, Oppo Find 5,SGSIV, Note 3 etc). None of the devices available in the market is perfect, so you just have to choose the one that suits your usage best.

I have quite a few Z1 videos on my YouTube channel so if you have time, come and check them out.

The only thing you need from that thread is how to "mate" a new meid to your device. After you know how to do that just take your battery out and write the meid on the back down. Then follow the process to "mate" it. lol

After that you do a factory restore when its added to your account and when it turns back on it will do a hands-free activation and update everything back to boost. If it doesn't work you might need a PRL & any boost prl will work just so it can connect to the towers. It'll update to the latest after. That thread above covers that as well.
