I'm using it for about a week now and the battery life is nothing short of fantastic to me. I get easily two days of battery life with normal usage. With heavy use and I mean using my phone almost non stop I get about 14 hours of usage with 4+ hours of screen time. My screen time is browsing the web a lot ( wifi and HSPA+) playing temple run and angry birds space and more web browsing.
Same here

It doesn't look like you used your phone for much during that screen on time.
Where can I find this kernel?
Anywhere around 4+ hours of screen on time is pretty impressive.
There are some who has gotten over 5+ hours with Franco and some other ROM combination.
That kernel looks pretty good, I'll give it a try.

Yeah but you gotta at least use it with minimum wifi connected and data used to extrapolate some usable data.
And just so people know raving about ogdobber's kernel it is basically stock. He is obviously a battery mizer so his tweaks are not for performance but using your phone. That said if you're nice enough, or donate I am sure, he'll bust a custom kernel for you. Do like his kernels though. Haven't tried many but his will get the best bang per watt.

Screentime is only impressive depending on usage. I am not saying it is bad, I am saying it doesn't look like you used it much, while the screen was on.
What did you do during those 8h? With stock GSM battery I can have 4h with dimmed screen using inverted browser over 3G and using xda app.

Not.a.single.thing.
That was my point
To be honest I highly doubt ant kernel can have significant impact on battery usage. It might affect a little bit but after all, it all depends on how you use it. The screen simply is the major power sucker on the hardware level, it can't be changed by anything.

I respectfully disagree. I think a kernel is one of the major factor of battery life. You will notice a difference between a stock kernel and a custom kernel while having the same usage. 99% of the time the custom kernel will give you better battery life.

The same can be said about many of the other custom kernels as well. Even the stock cm9 kernel can achieve this. There is nothing better about this kernel than Franco or the like.

I'm pretty sure there are other kernels out there that offers maybe the same or better battery or performance but I'm speaking on my personal experience with James bond and having using it I think it's a great kernel.

I second your disagreement. I have been using the Franco Kernel for little under a week now and there have been some significant improvements (no screenshots to back that up though). The Kernel is the only thing i have changed this week so it has to be that.
Kernels play a large role in battery life, if you say otherwise you are wrong. But it's the combination of ROM and Kernel also
Anyways, it's opinion, but i don't think James Bond compares to some of the other kernels out there. I haven't used it of course so I wouldn't really know. But Franco, Glados, Lean are all top notch.
I was on Gummy 1.0 and Lean 3.2.2 and got 1 day and 9 hours on battery with 4+ hours of screen time. I'd say that handily beats this.

I've had Franco and Modaco 4.0.4 installed on my GSM Nexus for about a week so far and battery life is actually worse than it was on stock. Even with the phone underclocked to 1Ghz. Which roms/kernel do you guys recommend for the best battery performance?

I'm running a stock ROM, stock Kernel, the only thing I've changed is the Radio. Running the Docomo LA1 one that is floating about and I'm getting 24 to 36 hours before I need to charge it. However there is still a radio draining issue with 4.0.2 but the LA1 radio reduces this drastically.
Also make sure you update Google Maps to the new version if you have it installed.
i'm using ARHD 2.1.5 rom + James Bond 1.4Ghz OC.....battery seem good....after 8 hours, battery drain about 19%...i just follow undervolt he gave...AOKP Kang also seem good to...
Just so you guys know, I used to get 3 hours of on screen time on stock. Now I get 2.5 while underclocked and undervolted. Screen time is the best way to judge battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I use morfics kernel and bigxie apex. 5 hours of screen with the extended. You shouldn't have to worry about getting less than 3 with the normal as its barely bigger than stock. I would check out what apps you are using as well. Seems the more I install the worse the battery life gets, especially stuff that pushes in the background.
Also I would recommend not undervolting. My phone doesn't tolerate the 1500mhz kernels or being changed from stock too much. I've noticed when I UV too much or oc passed 1350mhz the phone seems to go into limp mode, gets slower, hotter, and reboots more. I think all of this kills battery life.
One last thing, if you are on T-Mobile, try the ugkl1 radio. Not sure whether it does anything for att but the improved signal and less drop helps battery a lot. Hope that helps.

Ive got AOKP #23 with Franco and I'm easily getting through a day with moderate use.
Though gaming is really hastening the interval between each charge
I'm running AOKP b23 and the latest (?) franco.Kernel. Battery life sucks (10h max of battery life with light use - the occasional web surfing for around 5 minutes, screen on for a total of about 1h30min). Now, I carry a battery around in my pockets... sigh

the extra battery that u carry around, is it original? if not, where did u buy it from and how's the performance compared to stock?
I am running the combo in my signature and getting actually pretty good battery life. ROM and kernel are not everything. Let's not forget that usage is important.

They don't. The mods add new features at the cost of compatibility/stability/performance. These are often mutually exclusive.
I've been running my custom Linux kernel for as long as I can remember just out of habit (and to remove unwanted features as well). But I wouldn't touch any mod for some theoretical performance/battery life improvements for fear of the phone dying in an emergency.
(Dog-fooding my custom ROM that is very close to stock).
Does no one use Glados kernel ? I seem to get the best battery life by far with it. No over clock just stock settings with AOKP.

Yeah, I have to say Franco really disappointed me this time I'm running on AOKP build 25 with franco's latest kernel and quite honestly, the battery life is horrible. 6 hours and im at 39% with only 1 hour screen on time. I'm also looking for alternatives.
EDIT: As mentioned by the post above, the Glados kernel is really amazing and if you guys can, you should give it a try.

I have used Glados for awhile. I compared the overnight standby batt drain with Lean and Franco kernel and Franco is the best, though by 1% only, so by and large I'd say they are mostly the same.
The main feature of Glados is the Wheatley governor but I don't really see much difference in terms of stats in CPU Spy as compared to the rest. My Deep Sleep percentages are still almost similar.
I'm using AOKP b40 with the kernel that it comes with and I'm getting terrible battery life. I flashed Popcorn Kernel and Franco kernel once, but I had the problem where GTA III and other games would not start. I tried flashing the /bin/sdcard file but that borked the entire sdcard from mounting in Android so I had to reflash everything through adb.
I looked at Better Battery stats, and my phone is deep sleeping and nothing is wakelocking for longer than 5 minutes. I'm down to 67% after 15 minutes of screen on time and being unplugged for 2 hours. Is it just a bad kernel and should I try something else or is it my habits of using my phone? I'd like to get a lot more battery life out of this. I'm using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with LTE turned off, GPS off, and Bluetooth off.
Thanks!
While my battery life is not as bad as yours, I too suffer from poor battery life. I can never squeeze any more than 2 hours of display on time at 45% brightness. I have tried AOKP and Slim ICS but they both give me mediocre battery life. I heard there was a franconkernel release which was by far one of the best released (r158?) I'm beginning to think I have a faulty battery as some people manage to get 4 hours of display time with descent standby.

Five minutes of keep awake is a lot for two hours.
I'm looking at Kernel Wakelock in BetterBatteryStats and it says PowerManagerService for 49 minutes. I'm at 54% now. I've been playing cached music for about an hour now with Google Play. Is there any more information I can give to see if I can rectify this problem?
Power manager is just charging. I would say that is a real issue though it shouldn't have dropped that quickly. What governor what frequencies and under volted?

I don't turn data off, I keep 3G on. I have Facebook that syncs every 4 hours. My Google account syncs (not sure if there are intervals set elsewhere), and weather every 6 hours. Nothing else syncs to my knowledge.
EDIT: I didn't see your questions about my CPU settings. 1200MHz max, 350MHz min, interactive governor. I haven't touched voltages.
Okay if you can't live without sync your battery will always drain. Also change your governor to on demand or lazy if available. I usually just refresh everything manually and I get over 15 hours and 5 hours of display. Over wifi and maybe 2.5 of display over my terrible 3G speeds.

Possibly result of Project Butter. The increase in frame rates etc, and what you have seen in log cats, is probably putting more strain on the battery than did ICS.
The increase in performance means decrease in battery I assume.

The problem with that is... my kernel developer... was delving into my logcats and couldn't get his phone to spit the same results. I also notice an abnormal amount of heat which is result of it staying in 1200mhz too often. So something IS overworking the CPU question is... WHAT?.

Not very stellar if you never have mobile data on and only connect to 2G, with WiFi on 1/2 the time, and no sync. I'm not at all surprised by those results.
With JB : +3h
Better battery drain than ICS for me
I'm in stock JB, all day with data connection (3G), screen 50%, no GPS, no Wi-Fi (or sometimes).
I never got more than 3 - 3.5 h of screen time on a full day use of the phone. That's exactly what I get now, nothing has changed.

I can't get 2 hours of screen time since JB, I was 4+ with ICS, doing the same things daily. Or is it just me?

I'm assumning you are not overclocking the CPU. However, it varies from build to build. In my experience with 4.0.4 ICS yakjuzs build the CPU was set at 1200 MHz which casued the phone to overheat and the battery only last for 6 hours. Yakju build ICS and JB the cpu is set at 700MHz which made my battery last for 16 - 18 hours. Now there are other factors too, for example screen brightness, 3G will consume battery power, brightness takes the most of battery power. So check which build you are using and see the CPU settings, I use quadrant standard app and saw the settings under system information.

dude... you are confused. The processor that is mounted on our gnex has the stock frequency of 1200 mHz. Having it at 700 would be a serious and probably dangerous underclocking
Yep same problem ,
with ics I averaged about 5hrs of screen time
with jb only 3hrs =(
With ICS 4 hrs + screen time and
With JB 2 1/2 hrs.
Became worse.
I received my One X yesterday and noticed some pretty big issues:
- The Battery on the phone is shocking, I agree that once you get a phone, you play on it more than usual, but after just 4 hours, my battery was at critical level
- The Lag is shocking for a quad-core phone - especially on apps. For example, when I downloaded Fatbooth on my One X and Desire, the desire was so smooth, moving the markers, scrolling the pictures, but one the One X there was an unbearable amount of lag Why is this? Something to do with the companion core?
Anyway, I was wondering if flashing a new ROM will siginificantly fix these issues, what ROM's out there can do that?
Many Thanks

1. It'll get better once you get to normal working use
2. Apps aren't written to properly utilise the quad core yet - they'll get better once the Devs pull their fingers out
Running any custom rom will fix your issues did for me I'm running tbalden - CM10 couldn't be happier. Try Viper 1.0.1 for a sense ROM or cm10 senseless. Both give awesome battery life I get 4hrs + screen time with total at least 15hrs.

Any ROM can help you, but if you dont want to root your HOX and you would like to stay on the stock ROM, download "Hidden settings" from google play, and in the newly created "Power saver settings" app, disable the the second option, which says "Reduce CPU speed", because if its turned on it means you'll have only 1 of the 4 cores working, and even that 1 core works on 1000mhz only. Oh you should use this "Hidden settings" stuff even if you move to other Sense-based ROM, because usually they will have these stock settings...I hope you understanded my post, my english isnt the best

Thank you very much! I shall try that
Well Venom Rom increase battery life but it will still not be great but no lag and so many things u can do and choice on viper Rom venom its a great rom. The battery is just very horrible and not being able to swap it, is already criminal. There should be no phone that doesn't allow a swap of a battery.

You can buy a battery it comes as a cover and connects to the 4 metal pins on the back of your phone can't remember what there called tho

Looks like you're not using any Internet, though...which will lead to better life. I have WiFi/3G on at all times and get 20hrs with an hour or so screen time
After a few calls with virgin mobile mi e is going back and there doing me a straight swap for the s3 because for some reason i cant use mobile data when on a call.... Tbh starting to not like the device anyway lol

hey m8 and do u think that this is normal battery life? i mean one hour of screentime? I do get about the same times with as u with likely having 3g on all the time, depends also on how heavy i use it, sometime i get 2 hours screentime too but thats really absolut maximum. I dont know whats wrong but i also get such terrible batterylife and i am really thinking to swap this ****y phone for an s3. i see others getting as said 4 hrs of screentime that lets me think there some peeople are having hardware issues with the battery or better said faulty batteries. What do u think?
I mean i paid about 500€ for this and i get a laggy and short-battery-life phone that ist performance wise worse then my old sensation or desire?? Also said this is already my second HOX as the first wont had to be replace due to heavy screen flickering, and now my second is having absolut terrible battery life. I am not anything then pleased anymore and i think i understand why htc is getting more and more into financial problems. My next phone will guaranted NOT be an HTC anymore -.-

with screen on and doing nothing the phone will probably use the 5th core to save energy, try to play a game , 1:20 hour of gaming and 2 hrs of screen on and you will finish your battery.
however i consider this a good battery life, with hd2, much slower and with smaller/less brighter screen i got probably less battery life

I view Facebook all the time, I watch videos on YouTube, I even watch series on the internet. And I have my WiFi on most of the time. The battery life is really great for me, the ROM that I'm using has a surprisingly good battery life.

It was noticeably better (I used to have it), with this phone I have to actually monitor my battery and worry about playing games etc, whereas on the S3, sometimes It would last me nearly 2 days!
I always have data on usually 3G and max I get is about 2 hours screen on time with around 13-14 hours before it dies.
Whether that's good or bad I don't know compared to others but you have to remember everyone's usage is different signal also plays a part on drain.
I have mine on auto brightness and exchange syncing, Gmail syncing, weather syncing and Facebook syncing.

My battery life on CM10 has been terrible. I have barely anything running, i've even installed this custom kernel to combat battery life
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845836&page=31
and i'm still experiencing terrible battery life. my phone drains in an instant. is there anything anyone recommends?
Ditch lean kernel. Do you have Chrome installed? It has an undocumented feature. It does unspeakable things to your battery. There seems to be at least a little incompetence going on in Chrome's code.

There's nothing wrong with Lean Kernel. It's running very well for me.

I apologize if I have offended you in some way. But anyone with any experience with troubleshooting will tell you that a problem is easier to pin down when you eliminate all unnecessary variables. And since I've read about and personally experienced anomalies with lean kernel, I suggested it first.

What..? I never even pretended to be offended.. lol I understand that I was just saying the way you worded it was as if Lean Kernel was the cause of OP's poor battery life.

I don't have Chrome nor any custom kernel. I agree, cm10 battery life leaves much to be desired, even with juice defender installed. I hope it improves w/future builds. Battery on cm9, on the other hand, was awesome.

Hmm, Im using CM10 nightlies AND lean kernel, and my phone seems to last well beyond my expectations.
No problems for me. I get 4-5 hours of screen time and 16-18 hours overall.

What version of CM10 are you running? I'm giving it sometime, but just flashed CM10 M1 last night, and am wondering if a change from cyanogenmod's kernel may help with battery. Got about 6 hours of lite-moderate use today on my I747
What things are you running in the background (NFC, GPS, vibration, haptic feedback, etc.)? I'm running CM10 9/15 nightly with ktoonsez's kernel with a 1.9Ghz overclock and my phone lasts from 8 in the morning to 1 in the morning. Today my screen's been on for just over 4 hours.
Another thing to check for is are you located somewhere where you consistently get good signal? If your phone is constantly reacquiring 3G or 4G or constantly searching for signal it's going to cause a severe drain on your battery.

I'm using SmartassV2 with SIO. I know I'm old school with SmartassV2, but comeon the name alone is worth whatever marginal performance increase I could get with some of the newer governors.
Well I notice that when I'm on screen, my battery drains like nuts. I slept 8 hours and I went from 100% to 88% which isn't bad at all, however if I'm texting or w/e, checking the web (keep in mind everything is off, I'm not a retard, and my brightness is at maximum low), battery eats like nuts. Is there a kernel or specific rom I should install?

This kernel? It says that if you install it, and you want to go back to stock, you need to reinstall the drivers. Wtf does that even mean? Where the hell would you even find the drivers. Sounds too high risk lol
I am running the latest CM10 build and my battery life is terrible as well. Wednesday night I was about 75% charger before bed and when I woke up, less than 7 hours later, my phone was off with no juice. I tested it again last night with about 85% left and it was dead again this morning. I have the same app installed that I had installed on stock and did not have these issues. I absolutely know and understand this things differ from person to person and settings to settings, but I am not sure my settings are that different from when I was on stock. I fairly enjoy the ROM, so I am just dealing with it.
Well, I've charged my phone to 100 last night, wiped battery stats (still on lean kernel), and i put my phone to sleep, and it drained only 8% which is very good (7 hours of standby). Now where my battery drains like a **** is during on screen time. I've put brightness all the way down to low, but I see people who get 20 hours with 5 hours of screen time. I could only wish to get such battery life lol. I wanna try that k747 kernel but I'm scared about losing my original USB and and **** drivers and I have no idea how I would go about restoring them if I no longer like the kernel lol.
CM10 battery life isn't that great. There was one nightly build that had outstanding battery life, but I can't remember which one it was.

If you both read his OP all you have to do to get the original drivers back is Reflash your ROM that has those drivers. It isn't a huge deal also to the guy going 80%-0 overnight, you have an app eating processes in the back destroying your battery.
