Uh what's your screen on time? Looks like you were using it the majority of that 4.5 hrs, and rebooted it 4 times...

Yes I rebooted 4 times and were using it on ans off. Just playing around with the new phone but no videos or games tho .
Still seems a bit of bad battery life ! Right ?
Any ideas on a good rom kernal combo ? I'm on AOKP with a Franco kernal ( tried about 4 kernals )
Thanks again ..!!

could you show us your actual screen on time and awake time? This first screenshot doesn't show us enough information.
Theres obviously a problem but we need to see some more info.

What is your screen on time like the previous poster asked?
If you're getting like 3 hours screen on time then you won't see much improvement from any rom or kernel...

There is my screen on. Is that some what normal ?
My Inc 2 was really good on battery so maybe I'm expecting too much ?

2 hours screen on time is okay. If you hadn't rebooted four times you could have got three.

In my experience 2 hours of screen time is terrible, even with 100% brightness.
I use AOKP rom and Lean kernel tho.
With 100% brightness on all the time I'd expect at least 3 hours but I never leave it maxed out all the time, so I always get at least 4 hours screen time along with 24+ total.

Is your phone new? That could be the problem, the first three days. my battery life was maybe 5 hours at best.

Verizon sold me a bigger battery that supposed will give you five extra hours . It came with a different back. The look and feel is not different we will see how it works. Field test tomorrow.
Just letting you know about the option I was kinda shocked about it myself let me know if you need more info .

It makes it a small amount (1mm or so) thicker. The cell is 14% larger mAh wise. So the battery life doesn't increase dramatically.

Here is what I got from the extension battery that was supposed to give me five hours extra. I'm normally impatient and don't have time to charge my phone when I get a new one so I drained it and gave it a full charge. (I know its li ion).
This was on 4G and did wat I normally would do. This is my second day with the phone. So I haven't had the chance to try this battery only on 3G yet and unfortunately I won't get a chance to try these fairly new battery's on the 4G network again.
But here is a screen shot of my extended battery on the 4G network. Not happy. I didnt even come close to five hours let alone what she promised.

I find a pretty funny that every single phone I've had in the last 2 years in every forum the people are always complaining of the battery life sucks I guess that's just modern day smartphones. This is where the razor max is going to shine.

Why wifi may use more battery? screen shots inside...

Here are some screen shots, tests were done with nothing sycning and screen off for 10 minutes, I even checked to see if any app was set to " sync on wifi only" . Now when wifi is on, it seems to sleep less and use more cpu until the " turn wifi off when screen off" kicks in. So if you are using your phone off and on before wifi turns off, you will kill your battery much faster.
Edit, these pics are from FC24 ICS leak, Im on CM9a3 FD16 kernel FD19 modem atm and same applies for this setup.

no, if anything, the radio will cost more battery because it's constantly looking for signal.

Live in a low signal area like I do and turn off wifi in the house, see what happens.

I think you guys are wrong, even when wifi is on the phone is connected (or searching for a signal). What this test is saying, is if you arnt using your phone (pulling data from 3g (having nothing to do with your signal)) you should have better battery then when wifi is on and you arnt pulling data.
example here, full wifi signal, but no cell signal, and Ill lose battery faster at this point, then say if I had full wifi and full cell signal. So what Im saying is no matter what your signal is like, when the phone is sleeping and you have wifi on, it will stay awake (wake lock) which will use more battery, period. As you can see when on 3g it sleeps most of the time. Ive done the test in low signal and good signal areas, and every time when 3g is on and sleeping it uses less battery.

Good, thorough testing.
What I see here in simple terms:
Wifi on while actively using data(screen off/on and sync, or active usage) is going to be better on battery versus 3g/4g.
Wifi on while NOT actively using data, is causing some sort of wakelock which is not allowing the device to sleep properly. Thus reducing battery life, because its trying to do something, and not succeeding
Solution: If you are going to be using the device more than leaving it idle, use wifi. If you are the "I check every few minutes for texts and that's it" or "I use xda app or twitter every few minutes, but otherwise screen is off" kind of person, then use 3g.
If you can, turn off all data connections when not actively using data. This depends on if you let your phone sync or not though.

You guys are my boyzz but...I think I have to disagree on this one. 6 hours idle on wifi while I was sleeping. Data was on as well

I agree. Every time wifi is on, the battery usage is much lower than when using a 3g/4g radio.
I think every single wifi vs. cellular radio comment to this point in my 4 years of using smartphones was in favor of wifi. Without exception.
Seeing this thread makes me wonder if the OP was drunk.

OK, I made sense of this..OP was using CM9 which does use more battery while idle on wifi supposedly. I am not sure if that's been fixed because I haven't flashed CM9 on this phone yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Don't be so rash and I believe this applies to cm9 unless that screen shot that John uploaded is cm9 which I doubt. I noticed myself that leaving wifi on will stop my phone from going to deep sleep also. This issue seems to be more ROM specific and not the usual general practice.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I've been using cm9 a2 for about a month or so, and it's been nearly perfect for me.
I can report that the standby power consumption without a doubt has been no different from gb roms. That is to say about 1% battery per hour of standby on wifi or 3g (with full bars; much more drain with less bars.)

Very true. Before my girlfriend, who lives in the sticks, got an Airave, I would lose 5-7% PER HOUR while idle on 3G. If I wanted my phone to last (almost the whole day) off the charger I would have to put it in airplane mode when not in use.
I would say if you have excellent 3G reception it wouldn't be much of a difference either way.

I have an airave in my apartment and still get better battery when on wifi.

If apps are set to sync with wifi radio on then it'll try to sync even when wifi sleep policy is set to be "off" when the screen is off. Thus the app will keep trying and therefore battery life shrinks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Hopefully when we get kernel source this will be straightened out. I am running CM9 on my Nexus with a screen off profile of 400/200 wheatley governor (great for screen off battery life.) Hopefully when we get that source we can have more governor options.

Sprint people: GNex > ET?

Hi guys, I am wondering if the GNex is turning out to be better or worse than the Epic Touch in terms of radio performance and data speeds, dropped calls, etc.
There have been so many complaints about the GSM GNex that I am wondering how good or bad the Sprint version is...thanks.
Also, if anyone coming from the Photon cares to comment on the differences, that would be great too.

WiFi is similar. I'll have a good idea on 3g performance tonight. I only tested the e4gt data at night. Lol

Battery life is pretty good, but bear in mind most of us Sprint users are on stock.
I got down to 85% with ~40 mins screen on time, watching netflix entire time on WiFi.
EDIT: 720p screen is beautiful!!!! Haven't even tried MHL adapter yet.

Stock rooted flashed a trinit kernel and left the rest alone for now.
Granted not stock kernel....but still shows good =)

Just checked the browser. Stock browser doesn't do this, but I use Dolpin HD and it works fine. Haven't tried Chrome yet.

This is my review.
Overall design is very similar but I like the design of the Galaxy Nexus much better. Both are great phones but in my eyes the GNexus is the better of the two. Despite the talk about a poor GPU this phone runs all the same games as my E4GT with 0 lag and it even looks better thanks to the superior screen. Call quality and all sound is great. The speaker is fine, it just plays louder with better quality audio like it should and if you try to play low quality audio it of course is low volume. I have not experienced any issues with the device in particular and I am happy about my decision to switch. Battery life is great!
If you have any other Sprint device I highly recommend making the switch!

Unless you are in a non 4G area you have to take into account that your area is pushed more of the 3G bandwidth. Now as far as the Galaxy Nexus goes Sprint is pushing more 3G bandwidth to our devices because of the fact LTE is not yet active but don't be surprised when LTE in your area is up that your 3G speeds take a dive. I am in Dallas and my E4GT wouldn't even go anywhere on 3G with even full bars. This device on the other hand flys on 3G but because of what I stated above. The same is true for all iPhone's because they don't have 4G.

Yeah I figured it was a network issue. It was like that on my og epic 4g and could get 4g mist times on it. But I'm assuming that u can't get 4g on the galaxy nexus until LTE is actually turned on correct?

I've had both since an s3.The nexus 4 great phone ,real sleek and feels good in the hand and very fast, but I feel like the camera for some reason is not as good as the s3, and when I played youtube videos on HQ, it really didn't. It really didn't look so clear. Then i got the note 2 and was amazed great phone fast! The multi window feature and the S-pen features is good too, but just little to big for me. Well back to the s3, just great phone to me! Now I'm not here putting either phones down because they were both great phones but my opinion the s3 just right for me.

I was a true flash addict. Hell I could barely enjoy my phone as a phone since I was always flashing.
I was on CM10 for a while and flashing a nightly every night and searching for mods was a daily fix for me.

Waste of time and money if you ask me. The Note 2 is just a bigger version on the S3 with a pen and the N4 is a step down from the S3 if you are used to having a bunch of your music and pictures on your phone, especially for off line use in bad data areas, while in other countries, and on flights. 12GB or 5GB of usable storage and a nonremovable battery just doesn't cut it for many of us who use our phones all day long for everything. If you are a hardcore developer and don't need the storage space and don't need to stash extra batteries around by all means jump to the N4.

Bingo. I wouldn't even consider switching fir exactly these reasons. Same with some of the HTC One's. I looked at them before buying my GS3 but it had those same issues and really made my decision easy.

[Q]MK4 4.3 wifi

I'm just curious now that I have a solid 4G connection I've gone 3 days without turning wifi on, but under battery it shows a solid blue line for wifi anyone else notice this? Could it be 4G acts like wifi? Like I said I've never had a solid 4G connection before so I'm unsure

Turn on Wifi and turn it off, then reboot, after it settles turn it on again, connect to a Wifi and then turn it off... That's what I did, I live in a 4g area and it is faster than my dsl Wifi so I don't use it at all but after doing this the issue went away...

I'm on lorjay's 4.3 TW rom, which one are you using? I'm on the latest release and don't have that issue anymore, my only suggestion would be to reflash the MC2 with counter reset and then lorjays rom then odin the wifi fix again, I know it is a pita to do it but since I haven't seen anybody else with our issue that will be the last resource... the only issue I keep carrying is the mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock... the only thread about it is here and I have tried all the suggestions... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009956

Yeah I'm getting the n3, had the evo and evo 3d, went to Samsung with the s2, s3 and note I I. I like Samsung and have been a tester for Labrats for quite sometime now

Can you check under Wi-Fi advanced settings and see if your device has always allow scanning checked. I'm assuming that's what your problem is. If it is that you will experience a huge increase in battery life. I had that option on when I first updated like oooh that sounds interesting. Thing was draining battery like no tomorrow and kept the blue bar solid just like on your screenshot.

No problem. I don't know why Google added that option, it sounds interesting but it's crap! What they don't tell you is how batt hungry it is and instead says in the description it saves battery. Idk maybe there's a glitch since it's new.. I was just setting up an HTC One I upgraded my aunt to and they throw that option at you soon as you start a phones set up process. I'm sure many are checking it off thinking it's better than using the GPS and mobile location option. It really isn't, although wifi is off from settings n notification toggles it's still actually on in a sneaky way. Only way to tell it's running 24/7 is through that blue bar or from BBS.

I think it's time for a new battery. The most I get now that I turned that off is about 12hrs and 4-5 SOT depending on how my phone feeling at the moment lol. But I'm glad that fixed it for you n hope you see some battery increase while at it. Not like you need it tho lol
