[Q] Nil's Business Gingersense 3.0 (v2.3) question

Hey everyone,
I'm under 10 posts, so I have to post here. With that said, I have a question.
I'm running nil's Business Gingersense 3.0 v2.3. When my 3G is on, my battery life seems to be sucked down about 2-3% every minute or so. Now, when I installed this ROM I did a full wipe of data/cache, dalvik, battery stats, return to stock. I also followed his instructions in his thread on his ROM about battery saving. In addition, I did my normal turning off syncing, setting apps to update only when opened, turning off all vibration features, etc. My battery still drops that 2-3% every minute.
I'm curious if anyone else is having/had this problem? If so, did you fix it?
I'm going to try Tiny's newest release kernel tonight, but wanted to see if anyone else had the same thing(s) going on with their DInc that I have.
Thanks in advance for you help!

Curious if you've noticed this after a full charge and after the battery percentage drops below ~94%?

I'm in the same boat with less than 10 posts so I also need to ask here. I am noticing that the HTC weather app seems to indicate a very different location than the one I am in. I also notice it with the weather bug app, so it seems to be a location issue and not an app issue. Sometimes if I go into settings/location and uncheck/recheck use wireless networks it corrects itself and sometimes it needs a reboot. Any ideas why or how to fix it? Thanks.

Hey Bull_Moose,
I refrained from posting a response until after I gave Tiny's kernel a couple of days of use. I haven't noticed the drop as much with the new kernel as well as switching out the Yahoo mail app for K9 Mail. It still seems to be dropping a little quicker than I'd like, but perhaps that's because I am actually seeing percentage numbers now and thus it's creating a simulated quick drop effect.
I'll give it some more testing, but it seems better now after those two fixes. Like I said, not as good as it seemed with Froyo custom ROMs or even the Gingerbread OTA leak, but perhaps that because of all the little tweaks I can do with the ROM.

I was the same way when I first used a ROM that showed % drops so part of it may just be the fact that you're keeping a closer eye on the battery life now. Once fully charged, these batteries will drain a couple of % even if it is still plugged in. That's why after five minutes of being unplugged your phone could have dropped 5% or more, it's simply "catching up" to the actual battery level.
But if you're noticing a quick drain after that initial drop then it's probably an app doing too much in the background. It is possible that the ROM/kernel/ROM and kernel combo is causing it, but I've never had this problem with any of Nils' ROMs even with the kernel he uses. (Tiny's is better though, in my opinion)

I have been using this ROM for about a week or two now and I am having an issue with the Friends widget. It will only set the default number on one person all the others go into my vcard and says set a default but it never stays set. Any suggestions???
Also can anyone tell me how to get the verizon backup assistant back. I know that I can use google for whatever reason I just prefer verizon. I have read a few forums but can't seem to find a solid answer. Also I am very new to this stuff so the more instruction from start to finish the better. Thanks in advance!!!

Is it possible at all with Nils Gingersense 3.0 or 3.5 to ever use fastboot, or is it completely out of the question (With the file being so large and all...)?

What app to use to find running apps?

Hey guys. What is the best app to find apps that are running and eating up battery? Yesterday my phone starting having abnormal battery drain when the screen is off. I lost 30% overnight! Yikes!

Just use the stock App Manager in settings. And if battery is an issue, go to About Phone, then battery and you can see whats been using it. Hope this helped

i like ZDbox app.

don't use task manager they screw **** up more then they fix, suggestion,
Find the list of safe to remove apps and remove ones u don't need, apps lik keis, mms, gmail/email, etc are constantly running, remove and replace wirh 3rd party counterparts.
Use a rom with CIQ removed, use undervolting scripts helps with battery aswell.
I can't stress this enough, DONT USE TASK KILLERS unless u know what their actually designed for.
Think of it like a PC in this sense, if you use taskmanager and kill a load of programs, depending on what u kill, can have horrible side effects, in the sense of android, when an apps not closed properly, peices can still exist in the ram.
Those peices can have effects on that, and other programs on your phone.
Your best bet for clearing ram is a reboot.
Simple, as for seeing programs running, hold home and hit taskmanager (plz keep in mind the above)
Or simply go to SETTINGS>applications>memory use and click running tab on top right.
Hope this helps. Peace

Im thinking it has to be an app gone wild. Ive never had a battery issue with TDJ's stuff. Overnight i get maybe 5% drop over 8 or 9 hours.

Ye there's no way it should b doin that..
10pm to 5:30am my battery drops 7-10%
@OP
2 possible solutions:
1.) Above post gut it pretty good
2.) Kernels not allowing deep sleep mode, flash a new kernel
#2 seems more plausible at this point considering your OP in full.
If its abnormal battery drain screen off ur phones not enabling deep sleep.
At this point most apps are effectively "paused" or slowed down
Making the battery drain almost irrelevant, my battery dies about 1% hourly screen off
Thanks to this mode.
Apps like SetCPU etc. Can also cause this if configured incorrectly
If using a CPU. Control app, uninstall it, trust the phone enough to do
Its own thing.
I will never recommend taskmanagers or CPU utilitys, if I did, what's the point in kernel deving besides OC?

Can rooting help your battery life?

I just rooted my phone and installed CM10a couple days ago. I love jelly bean and having my phone debloated.
My question is.... are there any roms or settings on the roms that can help me get get better battery life? The battery life on my gs3 is good but not great... I selected the powersave feature on the CPU governor, turned down my brightness, turned off gps and bluetooth. I have been thinking about installing juice defender but I have had it previously and got tired of turning it off when I streamed pandora.
I am a pretty heavy user... about 1-3 hours of screen time per charge. I have seen some pretty rediculous stats out there and would like to be able to achieve a full 24 hours. :fingers-crossed:
I had my gs2 rooted and it seemed to get better battery life than the gs3 (rooted vs rooted). There was no comparison when it came to stock vs. stock.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Could you please elaborate how I should go about switching to that setup from kernal version 3.0.42 and the nightly CM10?
I have also had problems figuring out how to properly backup with nandroid or titanium. I can never get the backups to load
I am ready to try pretty much anything to try and get some premium battery life and performance.
I really appreciate your help and input. THANKS! :good:

Basically ya download the up to date versions of the aokp ROM and the KT kernel for aosp jb. Then ya open to recovery and first go to backup/restore and make your nandroid. You can decide whether or not you want it on internal SD or external. Once that's done ya wipe your system & caches like ya did for cm10. Then flash the ROM. After the ROM then flash gapps & fix permissions and reboot. Let the ROM settle and then boot to recovery, clear cache again and flash kernel then reboot. My instructions are a broad guideline though. I'd make sure to fully read both the aokp & kernel OP'S to get a warm and fuzzy on what your doing

seems like you are new at this so let me add a new thing, the S3 has amazing battery currently 9 hours up time and 1.5h screen on time and still 50% left and that is very light usage. Usually I listen to music play games watch movies and after 12 hours i still have about 10% left.
For starters cycle the battery a few time. Charge 100% and let it die 0% not charging in between, take out the battery and put it back in. Let it charge to 100% and and do this a another 2 times during a week. This will will use all the cells in the battery and should give you a boost. I have herd following above but charging while off may help, but cant confirm.
The next thing to do is remove bloatware or app you will never use, some of these apps will just load up in memory and use up your battery. Most apps can be disabled in Settings > Application Manager > All. Things like Allshare Play can be disabled, some apps like video hub may have gotten an update that needs to be removed before it can be disabled, this is the same as freezing in Titanium Backup. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DISABLE BECAUSE THERE MAYBE NEGATIVE EFFECTS.
This is what I have done and my battery has been amazing and never use power saving mode, actually i took it a step further and downloaded system tuner and disabled non essential apps like Vplayer from even booting at start-up.
Flashing different kernals and ROM can greatly improve battery life but you loose OTA and forced to wipe which i got tried of doing so i stick with stock. Waiting for CM10 to go stable then i will switch. The S3 stock is still snappy and never lags and for me battery life is very good.

thank you both very much. I just installed the AOKP rom and I will try the power cycles next time my battery dies. One question on the AOKP... I cannot figure out how to change or add lockscreen icons. and yes I have looked at the lockscreen option on ROM control. I can post screenshots if you dont believe me lol

We believe you because those lock screen options haven't been implimented in the ROM yet. If its a must have for you I'm pretty sure ktoonzes aosp jellybean kernel will work with CM10.

One other question. My network constantly switches from 4g to HSPA to 3g. When my phone was stock it would stay on 4g (lte) 99.9 %.. is this normal? I would prefer it to stay on 4g. I also think it might hurt battery life since its constantly switching even though lte is a battery hog.

What rom are you on? I'd love mine to switch to 3g the majority of the time, LTE is such a hog, there's no way that switching it down is going to use more battery than staying on LTE full-time.

Possible ATT JB update battery drain fix - root only

I had been getting some higher battery drain with JB than I was with ICS, both were on rooted stock ATT roms. Early on I had posted that it was about the same as ICS, but after more and more use, I was starting to find that it really wasn't. I was consuming about 5-8% per hour idle and 10+ while actually using it. The idle bothered me the most because, obviously, using a phone will drain the battery
Two things have stood out as the high consumers: Media Scanner and poor signal.
To address the media scan drain, there have been suggestions to change CWM settings to backup as .tar rather than default .dup. This ONLY works if you re-do each nandroid that was a .dup as a .tar, delete the .dup backups, and clear the unused backup data through CWM. This removes the blobs folder files which will be in the thousands.
To address the poor signal drain, I flashed the UCLH9 modem (see modems thread in the development forum). Better Battery Stats is not showing any drain caused by poor signal, and this is also reflected by actual usage, the signal is simply... better.
Consumption is marginally higher than on ICS but not nearly as high as I was experiencing. If this has already been covered, my apologies for eating up server space...

Could you alternatively put a .nomedia file into the clockworkmod folder on the device? Would that prevent it from scanning that folder?

Well I'm bone stock and not rooted, I have no backups and the media is eating my battery like mad since the update. I've killed the process several times but it starts back up on its own. The only way I know to fix it will require root.

There is a rogue app in the stock TW that is doing it. I have seen it in every 4.1.2 port. Run a de-bloat and it will go away.

Do you know what bloat exactly is causing it?

I have all the att and Samsung bloat frozen via TiBu.

Trust me, something is there. I never had the chance to figure out exactly which app it was though. I have a feeling that it may have something to do with a Samsung app.
I would suggest using OS Monitor from the Play Store. Make it show all system processes and see if you can dig deeper into it.
Edit: Also, here is my humble opinion too. People keep wanting new and better features. Well, that always comes at a cost. Just remember that. The iPhone boys are learning that the hard way too.

I agree with that sentiment... I'm considering reverting back to ICS but the smoothness of jelly beans is too enticing.
after making these changes yesterday I got a 40% battery consumption over 9 hours with average use which IMHO is plenty.

Solution is to reboot the phone OR unmount by going into settings, storage and unmount the USB there instead of from the notification bar. I think this solution works but have not tried it myself.

rebooting whenever the os gets out of hand, or unmounting the SD card, is not a viable option IMHO.
my post was directed toward root users who have cwm installed and are experiencing the media drain because of the blob files. the modem change I tried because all the reliable jelly bean ports seem to use the H9 modem. a weak mobile signal is detrimental to battery life, as is a weak or intermittent WiFi signal.
believe me, on my rooted phone, these two changes made a real and noticeable improvement in battery life in JB. I've gone half the day today on ICS and half the day on JB. battery consumption is now within the range I had on ICS.
one the one hand, I believe that some increase in consumption is due to the "omg I has the jelly beans and I'm going to use the bejeasus out of my phone" factor. I also believe that a good number of fixes and patches are simply a placebo effect. BUT, my phone had been getting hot and tearing up the battery due to signal searching in areas where it had been fine prior to the update. heck, we have an att tower within 100 ft if my office, I typically pull 69-70mbps at work. on the k3 modem I was regularly dropping data or losing LTE. not anymore.

Un mounting then re mounting seems to have worked for me the process can now be killed!

I used the CWM flashable zip from the thread in development. I did the typical cache/dalvik cache wipe first.
the last4 hours the phone was on my nightstand unplugged doinga sleep drain test. 0.3% per hour.

Ok I have found something running on my SGS3 that wasn't running all the time before and now its open constantly. I need to know if anyone knows if this one is safe to FC and then disable. Any help would be appreciated. I mean heck I wake up in the morning and this is running and I definitely am not using maps in my sleep.LOL anyways anyone know?

OOPS! Sorry about that. MAPSserviceSamsung. I finally found the list of apps safe for disable and it is safe to disable. I'm seeing a bit of improvement in battery life. I also uninstalled facebook and reinstalled it and since doing these 2 things I'm things are getting much better.

I will have to try these. My battery is horrid. My OneX got easy 30+ hours of heavy use to a charge. My SG3 is lucky to get 8 hours. I average 10% an hour on mild use, heavy use and its as high as 15%

Bad Battery Life since KitKat

Hi Guys,
i have a bit of a problem with the battery in my GNex maguro.
I'm an avid Rom flasher, but when i have something that works well i usually settle with it for a while. So i flashed Cataclysm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995801) sometime in the last months and it was running great. Best bettery life i had so far.
Then with the release of Android 4.4 i looked for a rom to test it. I flashed XP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539201) and i really like the 4.4 changes.
But since then my battery won't even last a day in standby mode. I thought maybe it's an issue with 4.4. still, but even after flashing back to Cataclysm (newest release) i still had the same issues. I thought it may well be, that the final version isn't what it used to be, so i flashed another rom again. This time Purity (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012706) aaaand... still the same problem. So now i'm pretty much lost. I also tried different kernels (lean kernel specifically) but to no avail.
My battery used to last 2+ days in idle mode. Now i can see my battery drop every minute. It barely holds over 10 hours. I already did a full phone wipe and flashed back to stock before installing cataclysm again but still no improvement.
I hope someone can help me here or point in the right direction.
Sorry if this topic already exists, but the search funtion doesn't seem to work right now and google didn't show something helpfull.
Thank you all in advance.

I don't know why you would still have bad battery life moving back to the original rom you used but.. on 4.4 it is most likely the new Google Now features that constantly listen for voice commands. Disable it by long pressing on an empty part of the home screen and go to settings. Slide Google Now Off and go to voice and turn off hotword detection as well.
I get great standby battery life on 4.4. I'm running the 11/29 ART build of cmetal(toro), 150ish hours of uptime without any issues so far.

Re: Bad Battery Life since KK
What kernel are you running? Are you just using whatever kernels come with each ROM?

I'll try turning off google now and the voice stuff and report back.
It still seems really weird to me, that the problem still persists after flashing back to 4.3. My guess would be, that 4.4 flashes something hidden that messes with the battery. But i don't know where or what.
Especially since it persists after a complete wipe (/data, /system and /cache).
Well, i'll see how it behaves without google now.

Well i used mostly lean Kernel with 4.3 roms but i can't find any 4.4 kerneles besides CM. I have XP installed right know which uses CM Kernel.

Re:Bad Battery
Make sure your governor is set to interactive or ondemand...it could be seeing power drain from being set to one of the performance settings.
It's also possible that your battery is just going bad...do you have a backup battery you can try?

It could just be that you need to replace your battery. They are only good for so many charges and do degrade.

Reporting back. After deactivating google now yesterday my battery is still ****. It's at 50% after 2h idle and 30 minutes screentime. Before the 4.4 flash it would be at around ~85-90% now. I suspect that 4.4 flashes something in some hidden partition that i don't have access to, that messes with the battery. Users on other boards report the same issues as i have.

Could be, of course. But it's kinda weird that the decline is so dramatic and it has to be a pretty big coincidence that it just happend after a 4.4 flash. Seems unlikely to me.
edit: I'll order a new battery just to eliminate the battery as the source of error.

Same problem here. Since I flashed Kitkat on my phone, battery life isn't enough to last a day on standby. I tried installing another kernel (ASKP) but to no avail. Please keep in mind that I'm not very experienced with custom roms and rooting my phone. Does anyone have some good tips to improve battery life?

Update: After fiddling around a bit with better battery stats, greenify and a bunch of other stuff... i still don't have a solution. I made some screenshots of my stats, but can't post them here because i don't have permission to do that...

So i reflashed swordrune's cm11 rom and it seems to be working better with 1080p kernel w/o art enabled. i'm 11 hrs in with 80% battery on the extended battery (toro btw)

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also experiencing battery issues after flashing the XP 4.4 rom. I did enjoy it but the battery drain was terrible. Not only that, for some reason my charger drains on a 1A charger but charges slowly on a .7A somehow. I only have 1 micro usb cable so I can't test if it's the cable and I can't find any apps to check the current speed. I tried downgrading and flashing to Slimbean but so far it's been no dice.

Ok, back again. hibernated every app and system-app that was running in background. Still wasn't getting better. I then saw the only services still running are google location services. I deactivated them now to see if these are causing it.
The biggest wakelocks i have are "wlan_rx_wake" which seem to be a known problem with KK:

I then researched again and found several threads in google groups which describe the same problems that i have. Across several devices (though mostly Nexus 4, 5 and 7).
Google seems to be aware of that issue and is working on it.
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also experiencing battery issues after flashing the XP 4.4 rom. I did enjoy it but the battery drain was terrible. Not only that, for some reason my charger drains on a 1A charger but charges slowly on a .7A somehow. I only have 1 micro usb cable so I can't test if it's the cable and I can't find any apps to check the current speed. I tried downgrading and flashing to Slimbean but so far it's been no dice.

Yes, same for me. Charging is really slow since 4.4 as is the bootprocess of my phone. From the first vibrate when switching the phone on it takes ~10 seconds until the google logo pops up.

i dont know any about gapps issues bcoz not running any gapps in my phone since last year.
1. try searching for updated radio.img (baseband/ radio) if got any network issue.
2. try install trickster mod app. this app can help you for tweaking into deep sleep, also help for optimizing.
