[Q] Kernel for better battery life? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

As the title said, i'm looking for a kernel to improve my nexus 7 battery life. I do not play games, my most concern is improve battery life when browsing web. Anyone can help me? I'm quite busy so i don't have time to try every kernel.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot. Gonna try that soon . BTW, how much screen on time do you get in a single charge?

Screen on time is taking about 20% instead of the 60% I used to have ( I normally have it on lowest settings). Lasts me a day without charging.

This of course is BS, a kernel can't alter the percentage the screen uses in such a ludicrous amount. But if it works for you, great :angel:

Kernels can affect screen time in "ludicrous amount" when you overclock, use the device for a period of time, application usage, GPS, Bluetooth, and display settings etc.

No. Not in the amount you specified. Complete nonsense, with all due respect. Underclocking, undervolting, all those things will never yield your result. One hundred percent impossible.

Well I don't know what to say to this. I know what my battery stats were and I wipe them (and I continue to wipe them) daily. Maybe my nexus is special. Come to think of it, it has had some problems before. Maybe this is a way for it to make up to me

Its true, battery stats have no effect on battery life. I wipe them across ROMS because the battery stats file can get messed up when switching ( it has happened to me before ).

No, it can't. Wiping battery stats has no influence over the battery indication whatsoever. As per Google themselves.

Interesting things happen when you wipe the cache. This is from my Nexus 7 during Video playback. Seem like the battery consumption gets attributed differently.
Exactly the same setting, ROM & Kernel, both cases I use MX Player Pro with H/W+ accleration to playback 720p videos. Only difference is in first case Screen battery consumption 83.5%, the other 57.7%.

Get Elemental X 1.8 and run it at stock clocks (1.5Ghz CPU/400mhz GPU) will probably give you the best battery life. If adjusting a lot of settings when installing a kernel is a hassle to you, get Bulletproof 1.3 instead. Bulletproof have the same developer(flar2) as Elemental X, it is basically a developer optimized version of Elemental X running stock clocks & optimized for Battery life.

Horrible Battery Life for me

My phone has TERRIBLE battery life. In about one hour (on stanby with wifi or data on) my phone loses 10% battery without use.. Which is a 10 hour battery on stanby. I can BARELY make it through one day without my phone dying either. By the time i get home from school, my phone is down from 100% to 65-70% with VERY minimal usage. Then by 9:30pm my battery is down to 20% with moderate usage on wifi. I am running Beastmod 4.2 REMASTERED with whatever Kernal comes with it.. I have tried Juggernaut, Beastmod, Beastmod Remastered, Stock, unrooted, domination with no luck. Ive tried underclocking, over clocking, changing settings, brightness, different launchers and so forth. Still, i have no luck. Yes, i have calibrated my battery, and this is my second phone from T-Mobile (and 3rd battery) that has a short battery life. Can someone PLEASE help me with this. Thanks!
EDIT: Just typing this message i have lost 3% of my battery on wifi...

I really dont know what the general view on this is....but if you are flashing a lot you wont know the difference. You need to get through atleast a few full cycles to figure out if something has decent battery life. No ones phone is going to put out the same results. I have had a lot of bad results with ROMs people claim to be the best. Just try a rom + kernal combo, give it a week, see if things start improving, else flash something new the next weekend. Do proper wipes, restart your phone when its charged at 100% and go from there.
You leave GPS on? GPS is a drain even if you're not actively using it. Also try charging the phone to 100%, then drain the battery completely, then charge it back up to 100% with the phone off. I've found that usually greatly improves battery life.
Do a full wipe and flash macnut r1. I had similar problem as you until i flashed this rom, i think his kernel has the best batt life of them all and most stable for me. Worth a try

Check Battery info. Is your phone awake even when the screen is off?
I leave it on lionheart governer with max 1,512 and min 192 and it works very well for me
Try this wipe your rom clean and dont install any apps just your emails and try it for a whole day maybe an app is eating your battery in the background.

Click the graph.
There should be a "Screen on" section and an "Awake" section. The two should be pretty similar. If you see a lot of Awake time even though the screen isn't on, it means you have a wakelock.

Which ROM for best battery?

I'm currently using MildWild 4.3 Final and find the battery level decreases on idle far too quick. I've checked using badassbattery app and nothing untoward is shown in there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

firstly, need to know what your actual decrease over a period of time, and whether you have anything syncing. and also what you're expecting or wanting it to be. this can be very subjective. what you're already achieving could be quite good. age of your battery is also important.
- assuming you're using inbuilt kernel, set min cpu to 245 ondemand
- betterbattery stats is another useful app to check partial wakelocks (bad apps keeping phone awake)
- use something like currentwidget to monitor idle battery drain if you want to. with screen off, 3g on, the minimum standby drain you can normally achieve is around 3-5mA drain.
if the above checks out, it's probably not a rom issue, may just need a new battery. switching roms may make a difference, and you can try the above on others to actually measure if there are any, rather than placebo. oxygen is supposed to be of the more efficient variety anyway
I've done all those things and I'm also using a brand new genuine HTC Desire battery. I still find that when I leave my phone alone, no Wireless or data or any app running in the background, the battery goes down by 10% every hour or so.
woah then that's way too much, definitely doesn't look like rom/sofware issue to me, sounds like hardware.
what does idle battery drain report?.
i think there are other apps which will measure the actual battery capacity. if it's official should hopefully be close 90-90% of the stated 1400mAh capacity i believe.
not sure what else to suggest which will actually solve problem this however, other than repair

ManU is not designed for oxygen, also loses camera drivers by doing this. 2% idle drain / hour is not that great either...50 hours standby with screen and wifi off...
@elrasho, you could try flashing a different rom or stock RUU to be absolutely sure. if you've done all the sensible things above like checking bad apps and still getting ~10% drain / hour, you can pretty safely assume it's hardware...

2% an hour is so efficient! You find another ROM/Kernel which can give you the same battery drainage.

stock/inbuilt kernel with ondemand should work just fine. mod 8 is based on slightly older sources. whether smartassV2 is better depends, but i think it has to be actually measured, not 'seems to last longer'
The older kernels tend to be more power efficient ala manu kernels. I've never tried leaving my phone on standby and waiting for it to discharge. I get 14 hours out of my desire a day with mw cm 4.3 with manu 2.1 cfs kernel under moderate to heavy usage

not tried enough, though i trust bortak!
but no rom should give you 10% / hour idle drain...stock rom/RUU with nothing installed is an easy benchmark to test
i still think it's hardware by the sounds of things, but doesnt hurt to try other roms in the meantime. hope you work something out:fingers-crossed:

Yet, another battery life thread?

Hello,
I know all of you have heard this time and time again. I'm sure I'm going to create a huge battle discussion, which I don't want honestly. But I've searched throughout the forums with no luck, and if I've missed this, please direct me and delete the post. So, with that said, hear me out..
I understand apples iPhone's battery tends to last long because of the not so true multitasking, and there are hundreds of ways to make androids battery life significant.
I was just wondering if there was any ROM, kernel, etc to get rid of the "android true multitasking" to increase battery life. Myself as an android user, never tend to use widgets or really have any use for multitasking anyways. I play on facebook, text, and make calls periodically. Anyone want to chime in without blowing my head off on this one?

Really? Doesn't seem like it would or even that it would increase battery usage since apps have to be restarted every time.
It will definitely free up ram, but that's not really an issue with the GNex.
I should probably also state that I'm on Vicious CM10 w/ stock kernel, and have not yet seen more then 10 hours and 2 hours on screen time.

True, but I only use my phone for browsing facebook, xda, and text messaging. I never play games, use youtube, netflix, or any other battery drainer. I also keep 4g off. I would think I could get more then 10 hours and 2 hour screen time with the 2100 mah extended battery (already exchanged for a new, so it's not the battery)

Read the OP and look at his screenshot.
None of what you recommended will effect excessive "Android OS" battery drain. None of it. All the items you recommend changing show up under the system battery readout under other discrete names. So no, turning off wireless connectivity or dimming the screen etc will not alter the OP battery life substantially. And turning off your cellphone negates the entire point of having a cellphone nvm a smartphone. All those measures are bandaids for underlying issues not actually solveable with a bandaid.
So yes. Really.

I do not see anything in the OP's original question that implies he asking how to handle the Android OS battery drain, just that he attached a screenshot and he wants better battery life. Anyways, I was being sarcastic so that the OP would get the idea that we need more data.

I found out where the cause is.It's the location setting.Default location setting is high accuracy,which costs a lot of battery life.I turned it off and it's all fine now.9 hours idle,4 hours SOT,40% battery left.Really satisfied with that.

I really dont know the reason. But one thing is that because I came from MIUI, after flashing the RR, i do the "format user data" just to make sure everything is clean for a different kind of Rom. It would be a bit hassle to copy things back to the phone, but I just have to do that format thing once.
Also I use greenify with aggressive doze. That's it

I found out what causes this on my phone.It's location setting.Default location setting is high accuracy which costs a lot of battery life.I turned it off and now,9 hours of idle,4 hours of SOT,40% battery left.
I have no audio on calls - again. This is really starting to piss me off. If no one else has this, then it must be a problem with my phone. I have never tested it with miui to be honest, I flashed custom roms right away. I guess now I need to go back to stock to see if the issue persists.

Does that really help with battery draining issue ?I should do this only when the battery indicator is inaccurate.

It helped me. I am not getting any drains. Give it a try you got nothing to lose. Just discharge your phone fully and then leave it turned off to fully charge.
