After receiving the 4.1.2 OTA update, I'm getting a much better battery life.
It used to be dead at the end of the day. Now, I finish my day and the battrey is on 45% with the same phone use.
I also find that apps and mostly google apps do launch faster
Have you also noticed it?
CM10 "added" 4.1.2 into the compilation recently & I've noticed a difference too... :victory:
Can you give us some screenshots of the screen time?

Only with data all the day i got 3.30h and 19h on, automatic brightness, sync on. Google stock 4.1.2
4.1.2 appears to have a big affect on battery life. I've gone from needing a charge after about 12 hours to going all day with charge left

When 4.1.1 was released, people reported that Google Now was a battery hog. Maybe Google improved it drastically.
Those who experience better battery life with 4.1.2, do you have Google Now activated?

To add on to this. I'm noticing FAR fewer wakeups (alarms) caused by Maps services on 4.1.2. That has an impact regardless of whether or not Google Now is running.
They definitely made some changes to location based services considering the menus were modified and additional settings were added.
Using a custom ROM and kernel so I can't answer this. But my battery life using CM10 + Franco Kernel has definitely improved.

I logged in hoping someone had made a topic about this. On 4.1.1 I did not use Google Now because of the effect on battery life it caused. I tried it on 4.1.2 hoping it had improved. In my opinion it did. Still need more days to test but it seems way better now. Even saying that, I still feel it takes too much of a hit on battery for me to continue using it.
Just my 2 cents.

Umm, it absolutely wouldn't be better at all.
Rooting and using custom ROMs have it benefits and my battery life wouldn't be to where it is now (at least not as long) if i was on stock.
Stock is too boring for me. I need my lock screen customizations and backups
It doesn't take away root capabilities right?

The 4.1.2 custom ROMs have done me better overall than the 4.1.1 ROMs.
I haven't noticed much of any difference one way or another.
So the latest cm10 nightlies contain 4.1.2??
It seems the battery life claims are pretty circumstantial. I wish there was a standardized test for this..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Cm10 nightlies are cm10.
And battery is much much better.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I never let any Rom to settle down(for more than 2 days) to comment on battery life, but i hope the thread is pointing to facts
So now in Stock will report back after 2 charge cycles at least
The map process is eating my battery to. I reserve testet it yesterday (nandroid of 4.1.1 back) no problem and then again OTA to 4.1.2. Anyone out there a possible resolution ? Had 2-3 days with my battery, now maybe one day.

If you use some sort of Recovery like CWM it does not. CWM will ask you if you want keep recovery and/or root.

Don't forget about the kernel Task packages with his ROM--Underwear kernel. I have had tremendous success with it. So much in fact, that I don't bother flashing a custom kernel over it. His newest release which is supposed to do a super job of stopping the black screen issue can be downloaded here.

i believe you easily!
almost same config (rom), with leankernel and 4.1.2 version is doing the job with battery life, compared to 4.2 JB, its day and night.
Ill try trinity, already placed it on my memory but was testing leankernel
No SOD, or heavy drain in use ?
I'm trying the new dummy kernel from ak and it works really good. You should give it a try.
Dummy kernel and Purity rom does the job. 36 hours or so of usage with 3hr 30min of screen time or so. 3G on throughout. ARHD does the job too
I recommend AOKP with lean kernel. Best battery saving and buttery smooth.
The combo is so stable and it's my daily rom.

Given that you have to find *your* best combo, I think that Purity with lastest franco.kernel is better for battery life, even if AK kernel is a little better for performance.

GSM and LTE have different phone/data HW and chipset just because the phone technology is different. You have to find you custom (or stock) rom in your own forum.
And yes, you are quite OT , but I'm not an admin
Yeah sorry for the OT question. Also I wasn't asking about custom ROMs, I was asking about kernels but thank you I appreciate the reply.

I've tried about all of them and aosp with stock is definitely the best battery life........ With my usage pattern. Your mileage will probably vary.

First off I would like to say no disrespect to others who have had scripts for overclocking the GPU for 3D and 2D graphics. After thoroughly dissecting the phone the 2D graphics never really get overclocked. If you check sys/devices/platform/kgsl0 or kgsl1 gpuclk files both will always say 200000000 the minimum. So the 2D part 228751000 from other scripts never really works. I found a way to keep it at max all the time 3D at 320000000 and 2D at 228751000 using int.d script . So for anybody who wants the GPU-OC script that really works try it out. Just flash and reboot that's it 2D will stay at 228751000 and 3D will stay at 320000000 at all times. Runs like a champ on my phone. You be the judge if you works for you or not.
What would be the way to remove this in the event it doesn't work or we don't like it. It's it compatible with all roms? What area the negatives of installing this?

I was just sitting here thinking that my battery had been draining much faster lately. Trying to connect the dots. Then I realized that I started noticing the decrease about the time I flashed this GPU over clock. So, hascanyone else noticed this? Also my phone gets hot as Sh*t while playing Dead Trigger... What are your thoughts? I have a 3800Mah battery. Running ASDEVS Galaxy S Bean v10.5 and hot cakez kernel. Slightly over clocked cpu but it always has been with no noticeable difference until recently..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Anything that overclocks... whether it be your processor or your gpu will get hotter because it takes more voltage which causes more heat. I just flashed this to check it out, but I would imagine the battery life is going to decrease since the clock speeds are going up. Speed comes at a price.
Just an update. I uninstalled the script and battery lasted about twice as long. Phone didn't burn my hand during Dead Trigger either.

Its where the cpu is located. So you are probably using cpu intensive applications. Try to undervolt or underclock to keep it cooler.

What are the safest/recommended levels to undervolt in trickster mod and should each MPU level be tweaked individually OR is it OK/better to adjust all MPU levels by a certain degree?
try flashing one of the kernels (4.3/4.4 franco ) and they have all that taken care of.
Where can I find the franco kernel? And is it compatible with pa 4.4 beta1

Well manual undervolt induvidually is the best of course. But it takes very very long.. I always undervolt -50 for all the mpu voltages. See if -75 works but not a lot of gnexus can do that.

I just hope there's no long term downside/side-effects from undervolting.

There are no downsides. In fact it extends the life span of your cpu. Only undervolting too much will cause instability. So just check. Maybe do some sort of torture test..

Well, phone started to keep rebooting after playing real racing 3 for a couple of mins.
Luckily had a 5 sec window to uninstall trickster mod before undervolting settings were applied.
Going to try -50 this evening, I need a functioning phone during work time.
