[Q] Help! Flashed Jelly Bean, down to ~6hrs Standby Battery Life

I flashed Jellybean for my gnex this last weekend, and I've noticed a severely precipitous drop in battery life (15% in 90 min, 15 min screen on). I found this yesterday when my phone went completely dead after just 6 hours on idle, despite running some pretty severe power-saving options. I can literally see the battery draining as I took the screenshots to post.
Running 4.1.1 stock, Franco Kernel Version 5 (power save powermode), 2100 mAh battery - I tried to provide as much information as I can in the screenshots. The weird thing is that none of the information stands out as an obvious power-drain, its just falling for what I believe to be no good reason.
Please help!

First of all: congrats if providing such detailed information about your battery information! (I'm being serious, not sarcastic)
Secondly, have you tried running it with WiFi only to see if there's a difference? Also, you need to go through about 2-3 charge cycles before you have a good idea of our battery range.
Also, what kernel are you using?

I have same problem, 1750 stock battery only lasts about 3 hours....

Kernel
I'm hoping its just running it a few charge cycles fixes the problem, because my battery meter is like a countdown clock right now.
I'm running 3.0.41-franco.Kernel-Milestone5.

I reccommend getting cpu sleeper. Its brillant and saves me tons of battery
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ldWdlbmUzNzMuY3B1LnNsZWVwIl0.

CPU Sleep
Thanks! However, I'm already running on only one core, from a setting in Franco's app.
My problem is that there doesn't seem to be anything glaring that is draining my battery. Awake time is slightly more than I'd like, but not nearly enough to drain the battery at 10% an hour with the screen off.
And for the above poster, I have not tried running it with wifi only and no mobile data - wifi at my office is spotty, and I'd like the conditions I am testing it at to try to mirror how I would normally use my phone.

hmmm... did u try replacing the battery?

Battery
No - the battery worked just fine on ICS as of last Friday (28 hours standby charge). I would hope that flashing ROMs/Kernels would not actually damage it.
Thanks for trying to help - I'm really confused since all the ratios look comparable to people who get great battery life, but for some reason, just seem to suck about 5x more battery for me, so its impossible to pinpoint one specific culprit. I thought it was a mis-calibration, but apparently that is just a myth.

Let me start by saying that I am not an expert, but the following tips helped me. I agree with the WiFi and the detail you provided was great. I see that you are running 4G, this will eat up the battery. Your ROM may have a toggle for the 4G (LTE) and 3G (CDMA). If you have WiFi available I would use that. You may want to turn off the NFC (system setting>Wireless & Networks More....) unless you use google wallet or share screen alot. Also, I had horrible results with the Facebook app running in the background, which I have taken off my phone. I set a bookmark in dolphin browser instead of using the app.
If you are not seeing any improvements with in the next few battery cycles you may try wiping the battery stats in Recovery. The first ROM I flashed from stock my battery life was all over the map and wiping battery stats helped. I ran the same Franco Kernel and was getting 2.5 -3 hrs of screen time. Hope this helps.

also, get CpuSpy from the market, and see which speeds your cpu is using (or not using).

Not that this will help software issues but Sprint is giving away a free 2100Mah extended battery with the door. You just have to pay for the shipping. No scam at all, I think they know that they have a glitchy piece of product and need to help calm us down. Just call telesales and tell them you own a Gnex.

CPU Speeds
Almost exclusively at 384 or 729 mHz, capped at 1026.

So that means that the CPU isn't going into deep sleep, which is an issue.
All I can suggest is reflash with a full wipe, and reinstall the apps you can, and slowly weed out any rogue apps that could be causing said issue.

Deep Sleep
Sorry, I meant that when awake, the vast majority of the clock speeds are 384 and 729. I am in deep sleep approximately 75% of the time.
If no solution comes up in this thread, I will try re-flashing to stock JB/stock JB kernel tomorrow night to see if it just needed a few recharge cycles to stabilize, and if not, if wiping/reinstalling helps.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yeah, that seems to be the general experience here. My phone is down to ~28% since the OP. Again, the proportions in which things are draining power are correct, they are just doing it too quickly (1% per minute of screen time).
I'm going to completely wipe and re-flash JB tonight, keeping the stock kernel this time, unless someone can help me out.

Did u flash francos kernel yet ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yes - every process/screen is drawing the typical percentage of power use (~50% screen, 8% Phone Idle, 8% cell standby), but the battery is draining 4x faster than it should. Francos app shows me running at completely standard voltage, and I'm on the powersave mode. I think it must be a battery indicator/stats issue, otherwise the proportions would be all off.

[Q]Battery Draining 20% in 15minutes

Hey everyone, I've tried posting this in the battery life thread but I've gotten no help in resolving this issue. This morning I unplugged the phone from the charger(I leave it plugged in overnight) and the phone dropped 20 perecent of the battery in under 15 minutes. At this point the only thing i was doing with the phone was checking a text message I had recieved.
I have optimized my phone so that I it only updates email and many other services manually but regardless a 20 percent drop in 15 minutes is not acceptable. I have calibrated my battery using the battery calibration app which hasn't worked. I have rooted my phone and am currently using the stock bell rom. Additionally, I am also using nova launcher on my phone and that is about it. The only strange thing that I've done to my phone is use a blackberry charger to charge my battery but I don't think this is the issue.
At this point I am beyond frustrated with this device need a solution now or I'll have to take it in to get fixed. Does granting root access void my warrenty? Do I need to unroot before I go to bell. I will post images of my phone stats in the next post.
thank you in advance for your help.

Before you send it in or take it somewhere, download" Better Battery Stats" and see if you can target where the drain is coming from. And yes, you will need to return to stock but before you do you will need to run the triangle away app. That will reduce your flash counter to 0. I'm betting you will be able to find out the problem with Better Battery Stats though. Check your PM's. I sent you something helpful that I didn't wanna post on here.

I don't know what Kernel I'm using but I am using the stock Jellybean rom. I've basically just given myself root access and installed the latest stock firmware. I am using my original charger(plugged into the wall) and last night i left my phone plugged in for over 8 hours so its definitely getting a full charge.
When I was am girlfriends house I used her dads blackberry charger to charge my phone but I don't think that would have wrecked the battery in such a way. I have noticed that the battery seems to draing very rapidly up until about 75% at which point battery consumption returns to normal. I can try charging my phone whilst plugged into my pc if you think that maybe make a difference.

Ok. I gotcha. The charger thing only matters if you use the wrong charger all the time. It doesn't charge it properly. It doesn't do any permanent damage that I know of. I would advise using the Samsung charger whenever possible. Anyways, let your battery drain all the way down to 0 til the phone shuts itself off then charge it all the way back to %100 without taking it off the charger. This should recalibrate your battery. It just got knocked outta wack. It happens sometimes. Let me know if this works. And by the way, you're probably running the stock kernel. You can always get that info by going to settings/about device. Let me know if this helped.

Hi thanks for all the replies. I let my battery drain and then charged it fully and usage seems okay but im at 68% in 5 hours which still seems excessive. Here are the image from better battery stats. I still ended up getting 20 hours out of my last charge but i am concerned with the rapid depletion.

How much screen on time did you have when you were at %68? How bright was your screen? There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. Were you playing games?

I have a friend who had the same problem, he had to get his phone turned in because his motherboard was malfunctioning.
He ended up getting a full phone replacement and hasn't had the problem since.
If you continue to have this issue I'd definitely get it looked at by your providers retail location.
edit: If you root you will want to avoid tripping the flash counter, which from what I've seen lately is very difficult.
Telus flat out told me in the store that they don't even care if it's rommed and have asked me what I like to use for roms etc which is nice, I don't know if Bell is as lenient.
Best of luck.

The previously mentioned %68 after 5 hours is pretty typical of what I get running stock kernel with ParanoidKANGdroid 1.40. That's while I'm at work, so I'm usually connected to WiFi, on silent, with most of my usage during that time being texting, but I do usually play games on my lunch. I have thought that was a bit excessive drain, so yesterday I set up CPU Editor and set my maximum CPU frequency to 702 MHz. I got pretty close to the same drain.
Today so far, I have the stats uploaded, and that seems much better to me so far.

Thanks for posting this thread, I'm having the exact same problem. It's been an interesting go for me.
Some times it does it and other times it doesn't.
I'm using cyanogenmod nightly from 1.3.13 with the latest ktoonez kernel and I've noticed that today, it's sucking battery more than ever. I'll attach a screenshot, but I think there might be something with the charger as mentioned earlier in the thread. When I charge it at night, I'm charging it off an old blackberry micro usb cable with a generic AC to usb plug.
I'm going to let this thing drain out and die and charge it back up to 100% and see if that works for me.

Does kernel make a big difference for battery life? For that matter, what are the main advantages of different kernels?

It definitely helped me. The main advantages that I see with running the kernel that I use is the ability to undervolt & overclock it. This will allow you to run the same frequency that you normally would but at a lower voltage therefore reducing heat & battery consumption. Google it & do some reading & educate yourself on it before you make your decision. I am glad that I decided to do it.

AOKP allows you to change those settings doesn't it? Or only with a custom kernel?

Yes I think AOKP will allow you to change some settings around. It will allow you to set you min/max clock speed & your gov & scheduler. A custom kernel will give you different gov, schedulers, & different min/max speeds. I use Ktoonsez's kernel & it comes packaged with an app called Ktweaker. He advises to use this app to control your kernel settings. I don't think that they will apply properly if you don't. Also you can undervolt with Ktweaker.

Have you done anything to damage your misc partition? Or do you have a backup of your misc partition? USB bricks are very difficult to get past unless you have a back up of your partition. I believe the creator of 4ext recovery madmaxx developed a fix for the desire that could be used through his recovery. The main thing to remember is that your misc partition is specific to your phone. Not your model, your actual phone in your hand and if you flash a misc partition from someone else's phone it will kill it. Unless you have a backup, or some makes a generic misc for your phone model you may be stuck. Have you tried a ruu, and ate you s-on or s-off?

The more you discharge it to nearly auto turn off moment and fully charge after, the better it will work. My was a bit "wild" after I had like 5 ROMs changed in one day. Then it setted pretty nice, keeping up to 3-4 days with normal use. No weird drops, also goin 100-90 smoothly for hours not 2 mins

That's kind of poor. Weren't you using it heavily during that time? I can hit 4 days on single battery life. However when I played games a bit and used hell lot of 3g internet, it dropped from 50 to 10 in like no time, 1-2hrs.

What's the top in battery usage? Sounds like you're getting network issues (low/lost signal and such). Should probably make sure your APNs are perfectly matching your carrier's.
Also, what is your usual screen on time?

Try to check your network signals...
Try switching from 4g to 3g or wcdma
Also check wifi signals and that APN which is mentioned earlier,
Then try to hard reset your phone.

How long on screen?
And nothing other than screen is burning it. So it can be 2 things: bad battery or it needs a factory reset.

If it's not system, it's your battery. You could try flashing the stock kdz (it wipes everything, internal memory included so backup)

Hence why I think it's a problem with the battery. But it's possible that it's a system problem that only flashing stock would fix. It's a shot in the dark though.

Not sure what looks weird in there. Battery drain will change depending on what wakelocks you get.

[Mod][6.x/7.x] Xthermal Mod -Fast Charging + Some CPU/GPU Tweaks

Hi Guys,
I'm back with the Xthermal Mod.
But this time it is for Nexus 6P.
Introduction:
Nexus 6P is the best handset I've ever used. No doubts about that.
Nexus 6P has got one of the best Fast Charging.
But why I always get around 800-1100 mA current while charging?
Max to max I get 1500-1700 mA current.
Is this the best fast charging I can get?
Then I opened my thermal engine file and started working on it.
Goal:
Xthermal_Fast_Charge: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed while keeping rest values to their default.
Xthermal_Performance: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed + Same basic CPU & GPU tweaks are also applied.
I have successfully been able to achieve average 2600-2800 mA current. (Stock charger supports Max 3000 mA)
Tested with roms based on "N" aka Android 7.x.
Downloads:
Links for Marshmallow:
Xthermal_Fast_Charging_Only.zip
Xthermal_Performance+Fast_Charging.zip
Xthermal_Gaming+Fast_Charging.zip
Back_To_Stock.zip
Links for Nougat:
Xthermal_Fast_Charging_Only.zip
Xthermal_Performance+Fast_Charging.zip
Xthermal_Gaming+Fast_Charging.zip
Back_To_Stock.zip
How to apply:
Just flash the zip using twrp and see the difference using Ampere app...
Credits:
Google
Notepad++
Note to mods: Please kick it to related section if I missed it.

Screen Shots of Ampere app after applying the Xthermal Mod.
I have changed the initial values only.
So don't worry it won't harm your device at all.
The critical high temp. values are still the same.
*** Don't want to say this but please don't blame me for others for your actions***

curiious to see others results. so this is just to increase the fast charge time? what kind of a difference are you seeing versus stock?

In normal usage I get around 1500-1700 mA current only.
After applying the mod it goes upto max i.e. 2800-2900 mA.
Actually the stock temperature values to control/limit your fast charging are too low.
So we can't make use of Fast charging in date to day works.

Which one should i flash?
Performance or normal one?
Also just flash and that's it?

Yupp just flash it using twrp...
Xthermal_Fast_Charge.zip have only fast charging tweaks ...
But Xthermal_Performance.zip have fast charging tweaks + other cpu and gpu tweaks to boost the performance too...
I'm personally using Xthermal_Performance.zip...

Interesting

Tried it out just now. Works just like it says! Screenshots show it. Great job!

How long does it take to charge? 0 to 100

Will flashing this tweaks damage phone in a long run, but it looks pretty good. I may flash it later today.

Will performance effect battery life?

Most of the time I use a slow old usb adapter, is it OK to flash this?

It should be fine as the charging adapter handles current amps going through the cable. This allows our Fast Charger to be taken to it's fullest ability

How much faster does this charge compared to stock?

Both are good.
Charging while handset is off will make sure less heat and more faster charging... But you will miss your calls and sms...
Charging while power on is also good ...
I have tried to make sure you get max faster charging with your daily moderate usage...
