[Verizon] [ROM][4.0.4] AOKP ICS B40/M6/Mods (7/8)

I have not done any normal usage tests yet but the deep sleep battery life I was getting in M3 is gone. She is falling hard over night.
 
I did a full wipe and only installed M4, but for some reason, my battery life was annihilated by the wipe/install.

On B27 I was getting 12-16 hours between charges.

Today, 8 hours.

I'm charging it now, and doing a battery wipe...but don't know about this M4.
 
I had horrible battery life yesterday as well... then I flashed Franco's m1 kernel and let it charge over the night and battery has greatly increased. I haven't played with it quite as much, but I did have to charge it a little a few times yesterday as opposed to nothing today and I still have over 50%.
 
Im not having any luck with M4 battery life with any of the previous kernels I have used in M3. Even Lean 1.50 and 1.6.6EXP3
 
Man I WISH I was getting battery life in that realm. I've been on M2, went to B27, things got noticeably laggy, tried switching to M4 and I couldn't get it yo sync properly, and eventually wound up nandroiding back to M2. For some reason its the smoothest for me.

As for battery, nothing seems to help too much. I've been getting around 8 hours per charge with under 2 hours of on screen time. Tried running Franco and Lean. Lean seems a bit better on my phone, but I'm still far from perfect.

Thinking about giving Liquid a shot but a part of me still wants aokp to be the one.
 
I'm assuming you guys are on the extended battery, I am and figured everyone that roots probably would be as well. I'll see exactly how it is over the next few days, battery life wasn't an issue until I flashed m4.

Same here....I am happy for now....
Right now I am at 18 hrs with 1.25 hrs screen time and 25% battery left...with only moderate usage and almost all 4g...pretty much charge every night. But if I get a full day charged....I am happy.
Still running B27 with lean 2.3 notrim at 1.65ghz to 350

Yeah I have 14 hrs up-time (70% wifi - 30% 4G) with 2.45 hrs screen on and 1 hour of phone calls and at 18% on stock 'colonel' :D

I flashed the PCB theme with M4. It was the first theme I'd flashed with AOKP. I really thought it was the theme since the phone ran so hot after the install.

Now that I full wiped and did not install the theme, I realize nothing has changed.

Last night I did a full charge and wiped the batter stats, with the screen off, phone dormant, I lost 5% in the first 22 mins. Screen off.

I woke up to the phone down to 82%, with Android OS in the battery stats kept awake for 52 mins last night, while the phone's screen is off.

Android OS is just eating away at this battery. I'm watching it go from 71 to 68 as I type.

Again I was getting 16 hours with light use and 12 with heavy on B27.

This ridiculously insane battery life.

I have a nandroid of my B27, I just might be going back to it.

I actually packed my charger and spare battery for the first time since getting my nexus.

I'm pretty sure this thing will die in the next few hours.

Extended battery by the way.

What's the battery app that tells you exactly what app is using the most battery?
 
I hope this isn't too much of a thread hijack, I am using the AOKP ROM :)

But I thought I'd share something with you guys I've been doing to sort of track what my battery life is like.

Calculate your minutes per percentage point. For example. Before I flashed AOKP, on WiFi the entire time, my battery life was at 80% after 50 minutes of screen on time. So, taking 50 minutes / 20% battery consumed = 2.5 minutes per percentage point. If you do that, you have some point of reference to see exactly how well or how poorly your battery is performing.

I also have, pre-AOKP flash, time using 4G. After 40 minutes of on screen time, I was at 75% battery left. 40 m / 25% = 1.6 minutes per percentage point. It's amazing how much better you do on WiFi!!

I haven't gotten any post-AOKP/Franco data yet due to a variety of reasons, but I certainly am going to track it starting today. I'm charging to 100% for my base line as I type this.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's AOKP M4 or franco kernel M1, but the battery went to shite. I'm going to try LeanKernel 2.4.1 with a full charge and see if that improves things. I think M4 has some issues, as my keep awake time is WAY too high.

That's what I'm noticing too. My keep awake time is significantly higher than my CPU time on the Android OS.

I killed my battery in 7 hours today. Same amount of use as normal.

Yeah I'm really considering flashing back to b26 or M3... :(
 
Does anyone know if I restore the nandroid of B26 or 27, do I have to reinstall the Gapps?

Or does all that carry over from the nandroid?

Or should I just do a clean wipe and reinstall 26/27 along with the new gapps?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but partial Wakelock means when your screen is off but something keep it from going to sleep? Because I have a partial wakelock of nearly 2 hours from audio out.. I have used my headphones today but just for about half an hour playing a game...

A nandroid has it all. Just flash that and its like going back in time to the day you made the backup.

What recovery are you using? Clockworkmod does not backup the radio. I'm 99% sure Amon Ra doesn't either.

A broken flash of the radio is one of the sure fire ways of bricking a device (even a Nexus), so ROMs usually don't include them (and when do, should have a warning IMHO) and recoveries don't because if you wiped/flashed the radio every time you flashed a nandroid, you'd risk corruption/failed flash and bricking the device.

And just to be clear, that doesn't change the fact that a nandroid will get you right back where you were. The only thing it wouldn't do is "undo" a radio flash you'd done. For example, if you:

- flashed ROM A (implied that you have radio 4.0.2 here for example)
- created a nandroid for this ROM A install
- flashed 4.0.4 radio
- flashed ROM B
- restored your nandroid from ROM A

While true that you'd be back on ROM A as it was when you first created the backup, you would be on the 4.0.4 radio and not the 4.0.2 radio.

Hope that helps...
 
The radio has nothing to do with the ROM.
The only way to change the radio is to flash another radio.
Nandroids do not backup or restore the radio.
