overheating?

does anyone has the problem of overheating after a while of intense use? like playing games or watching a video?
it's almost too heat to touch the phone near the back camera sometimes?? is this normal?

Having the same issue myself. No idea what's near the camera that could create such heat. Normally batteries only get heated up in my previous phones.

Try custom kernel. I use franco.Kernel and my phone only get warm (not that hot) when playing games.

Me too...

Guys when asking questions about your phone issues it is best to list the details of your phone ex:
My phone gets extremely hot when charging and operating it at the same time.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus
JB Bamf ROM
Francos kernel.
Standard kernel settings.

I do a clean install of stock ROM without installing any kernel and it doesn't over heat any more!

I use AOKP. I have used the ICS milestone 6 for few weeks now and has much better bat life than stock.
Install "Better Battery Status" App to see where the drain is.

Try XTREMEPERIA

I love this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871161

Cm 10 nightly 09042012 is giving me a day and a half on my t989.

Every phone works differently even if they're the same make and model. Also, keep in mind that battery life depends on the user themselves. For example, are you syncing lots of stuff, how bright is ur screen, is ur Wi-Fi running the whole time, are u playing lots of games...etc.
My advice is to flash them one by one, starting with the most popular rom for your phone and see which one works best for u and ur phone.
Aside from that, I have always recommended infamous roms and darkside roms. I just flashed Jedi mind trick v8 and its running very well too.
Good luck flashing.

I also use this one and the best battery life I got was 2 days and 4 hours but I guess it all depends on how intensively you use your cell phone.

I too am a fan of this version. I tried out Version 8 but im not having great luck with battery life. even when under clocking. I am going back to v7 for now. def recommended

4.1.2 improved battery life

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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.

Flash stock and it will be better.

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?

I use it while traveling. A lot of the functions are designed to help you familiarize yourself with the area.

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.

What ROM is outstanding with battery life?

I'm currently using cm10. Not really impressed with battery, but overall is decent. I'm looking for a ROM with pretty good battery life. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

There is just way too many variables to answer that question. Just keep trying roms one after another. Also expect this thread to locked down soon!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

Why would this be locked? He's asking for what ROM has good battery life, not which one is best or other flameworthy question.
Anyway, I think the Kernel has as much if not more importance with battery life. I use official AOKP JB Milestone (4.1, not 4.2) with LeanKernel and I get AMAZING battery life. I noticed that LeanKernel was the factor that did this for me, so you might want to give it a shot. I don't think LeanKernel works with 4.2 yet though.

The best way is to try them yourself. Everyone uses their device differently so performance and results vary across devices. Also ignore what the guy said, this was a good question.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

For me, best battery to date has been tasks aokp with ktoonsez kernel.
Their 4.2 rom is really nice but still in the early stages so I expect the battery life to get better but their 4.1 rom was outstanding with battery.

Is LearnKernel compatible with Ktweaker and AOKP Rom?

Just installed leankernal. Let's see how battery life will go. Thanks guys.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Check out AoCP. I've gotten the best battery life out of that ROM. I think I used lean kernel with AoCP 4.4. The current version is now 4.6.
I also use juice defender and cpu sleeper to aid with general battery life.

Does anyone know how the leankernel compares with the ktoonsez kernel for battery life? I was getting great battery life with kt and cm10

I'm basically looking for a rom that can last 8 hours screen time if that's even possible. Or close to that, data always on.

8 hours screen time with data always on? On stock battery? That's a tall order. Good luck with that.

battery life depends on too many things. my daily driver is awesome but if battery life was my main concern I'd never enjoy a ROM as much

8 hours screen time doesn't seem possible in my experience on stock battery. On Carbon ROM with LeanKernel I get a good 3-4 hours screen time when I'm gone for 14-16 hours from a charger.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

haha just my way of asking If 8 hours would be possible. I think the most I got to was 4 and a half. was reading reviews before I got the phone and it said that it has 7 hour screen time. Have you tried that extended battery? I was looking at some and was gonna buy one but afraid of buying a faulty one lol.

[Q] What's the best ROM+Kernel to improve the battery life?

Hi, is there anyone who can suggest me the best Rom + Kernel to use to have the maximum battery life? If there is a similar post, i'm sorry, i couldn't find it.

I personally use rbj 4.1.2 with trinity alpa 67. I average 20 hours with 4-5 on screen time

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.
