Hardware version and kernel results!

Post what hardware version and your kernel results.
Current rom is optional but not required
I believe there is a pattern to our battery life depending on what hardware type we have and that we can figure out how to get the best battery life we can if we can chart what kernels act/behave better with the hardware.

Im running hardware version 002 and the modded HTC #15
Batter life is about 8 1/2 to 9 hours light use

HW 0003
Currently HTC 15 modded and tweaked by Caulkin
Previously HTC 17
Both get similar results with 5 - 6 hours up time and battery will go 20 - 24 hours if I leave Angry Birds alone.
I want to add that nothing worked well for me until I downgraded my pri from 1.90 back to 1.77.
I tried all of of the Ziggy and Netarchy kernels and they never came close to the 2 I use.

This won't work unless you require a lot more information.
You would need to define your usages, firstly. This is very important, as your "light" usage might not compare with other people's.
Also, this would be a little more empirical if you required screens.

That's a great idea and your right light usage for me on a adverage work day might not be the same for everyone but that's horrible battery life for me.
Wifi is off (my job doesn't have wifi) bluetooth off, no phone calls, about 5mins of xda app, and 15mins of general searching the web on lunch when im connected to a wifi hotspot my battery life doubles I get about 14hours with the same usage.

ICS 4.0.3 OTA halted by Google

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/12...e-to-high-cpu-usage-and-battery-life-bug.html

google stopped the ota
i just wanted to have a confirm of what i 've read in a italian forum.. it seems that google decided to stop the ota because of an excessive usage of the cpu and a battery bug in the ics for nexus s.. is it real??

Yes due to high CPU usage and battery drain. Hopefully the CPU usage is contributing to the poor app drawer performance. If not then hopefully it is on the list. The app drawer on my S is TERRIBLE compared to friend's Galaxy Nexus.

Ok so probably they will release another ota i hope.. the battery goes down in 9 hours

Nice can look forward to me rom
Don't understand why they didn't notice in first place
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

They were probably under pressure to keep their promise to release a from within weeks of the GN release. Hell idk
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have a ns4g and for those that received the ics update on the ns, Google will fix it. I'm sure within a week(s) because they are admitting fault and pulling it so more people aren't disappointed. I on the other hand have an extended battery and would gladly take that ics update lol

I dont think this is happening to everyone, I am using 4.0.3 and cpu usage is low and battery is great. Same with 2 friends that installed it. Maybe something related to specific networks or sinals.

Sad to see Google break because of a deadline.. There is no possible way anyone involved in the development and testing of ICS on the Nexus S line didn't notice the problems with it on this phone. This is something I'd expect out of Samsung.. It's ok though, thanks to devs my phone is finally stable enough..

New ICS build at the horizon? (4.0.4? 4.1?)

Ha. Thanks for the link, "Instigator".

No wonder the i9020a hasn't seen the update yet. I hope they can resolve this bug quickly. Like before Christmas.

It will take a few builds for Google to get all the bugs ironed out. Same happened with the Nexus One and GB.
Sent from my Nexus S

it;s a kernel issue...use a custom kernel, and it should be fine

I'm having this problem. The phone stays awake while I don't use it. And when I check the stats Android OS' is eating most of my battery and keeps the phone from sleeping. I have stock ICS with stock kernel.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

So where is the official statement from Google that the OTA has stopped?

There hasn't been one (EDIT: that I've seen). The updates are still live on Google's servers, so until there is official word or the update is pulled, there is no reason to assume the OTA is ending.

Very strange, 4.0.3 is much better for me than 2.3. What we can expect?

Tool: Analyse your battery drain.

Hello all,
Here is my 2 cents contribution to all the people that are wondering why their batteries are out in 10 hours!
I would like to share my tool, and maybe get help with my code if people are interested.
This goal of this app is to help you to detect what is going wrong with your battery by displaying values of the drain. It will never analyse or detect an app!

This is pretty cool.
I was getting tired of calculating battery per time.
Maybe it would be better if it record battery usage per time.
(ex , partial wakelock)

just downloading and testing
thanks

Downloading, will give it a shot

Useful app and a good start.

cool i will give it a whirl and see how it goes..

Cool app, will test it and see, if I can help with ideas.

Great. I wanted to compare battery drains in using different kernel or different cpu scaling governor. I think your app will come in handy. Thanks...

I probably have the wrong end of the stick, but when I searched for it by application title, it didn't appear. So instead I searched for it using Waze_Be and found it in the list.

Looks nice. Could we have an alarm that warns you when battery draw is higher than normal (only when the screen is off)?
My phone sometimes starts sucking power when my Exchange connection goes haywire. I'd love to be warned that it's in a high-draw situation instead of it just going dead.

I installed it on my Transformer Prime. So far, so good. Around 2/3 of the time under 1%/hr of battery usage.
Would be nice, if you would add a "min/mean/max" CPU usage for the time period of possible. Basically, instead of only collecting time/battery percentage, you could collect other system useful data.
And why not, trying to figure the "charging speed". This would also be nice, I suspect some of my USB chargers to be less efficient/fast.
And... It might be possible to detect batteries that will soon die! Above average %hr... I have a lot of ideas for you.

Disabling low fps in the UI. End result: The most fluid phone you will use.

First of I created this thread because it seemed like people where having success in getting rid of the lag and stutter they see. Ill explain why LG implements this in their phone later on. First of lets get to binness.
The option is hidden in the dailer menu. Its the last option called dynamic LCD refresh off/on.
Here is a pic:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you press it, select screen fps and it should disable the dynamic fps system which reduces the UI frame rates and causes perceived mild stutters. Shut the phone off for 10 seconds and then turn it back on. The settings should stick.
60fps is smoother than any phone I have ever owned. This phone never lagged out of the box. LG implemented this feature that changes the screen refresh rate dynamicly. So while you are using your phone normally in the UI, it drops the animation FPS to 30 fps. This apperantly conserves battery.
It is kinda like the same thing that Nvidia does with their mobile gtx 800m GPU's. They give the user the option to set a target frame rate and then the cpu/gpu only works hard enough to meet the target fps, never working harder than it has to. This is basically bringing down CPU/GPU utilization and saving battery life.
Example: If I where to play Titan Fall on my PC and set the target frame rate to 60fps, my CPU/GPU avarage utilization will be 80%. If i set the target fps to 30fps the my CPU/GPU avarage utilization will be 60%, saving me battery life.
I hope this makes sense, and I created this thread to give some people awareness about this option. The 801 soc breezes through this QHD display.
Update: For people who are having sticking issues, try to enable both of these options. It is not a 100% though, but try your luck.

I'll give it a shot. I personally don't know how much better this phone could get for how I use it.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
I followed the instructions but after boot it did not stick so I will see if it sticks by just switching off and just using the phone with a reboot.

My setting also did not stick after a reboot, but it seems smoother... doesn't make any sense unless I'm imagining things.

Is battery life the only downside to doing this or could it affect the life of the display over time?

Mine stuck for me after a reboot. Definitely feels quicker on its feet. I'll report back with any additional battery info or if I'm just imagining things.

What are first opinions about....

latest update? Are everybody happy with it?

I like it a lot actually. Didn't really think an update to a phone as old as the Note 4 would have such an impact but the phone feels faster, and the new minor design changes are nice to me.

I've waited TWO months on stock 5.1.1 so that I can get a MM OTA!!! Loving every bit of it! Its amzing. I know every one loves/hate "Good Lock". I'm loving it. Latest update is much more improved.

MM is what Lollipop should have been. That's why so many people are looking for Note 4 with Kitkat until the MM release. I'm most likely gonna stay on Kitkat until I see more MM custom roms out. Kitkat is smooth and no battery drain.

5.1.1 is great. I see no need to not upgrade to that. It was 5.0.1/2 that was abysmal.

3 hrs SoT , i'm not happy atm.

I noticed it's bit snappier. Everything works. Overall, I really like the update. I did a full wipe after install. Only issues are, less than 4 hours SOT at around 35-40% brightness and it runs hot now. Not only that but it charges hot, which it never did before. Those are my only issues.

So far battery life is very good. About 5% battery left and 7 hours SOT with auto brightness.

Pretty happy so far. Quick, snappy, smoothe, all running good.

I upgraded via OTA and was having issues with random reboots. I did a hard wipe/reset and have had zero issues since. Does seem a little snappier. After wipe, loving it so far.

I bought an s7 edge on preorder. I gave it to my wife after we got shafted with lockdown. The s7 version of MM is nicer looking and more friendly as far as disabling apps. I can do it with root but I might as well go with a highly tweaked/properly debloated s7 port on dok2. My only reason to switch would be a better modem, but I see no difference in my area.

I had issues initially till I factory reset. Now all is good and my phone is much snappier, smoother, and less lag. I hated LP. Love MM!
