HALP !
I'm running the october builds of the cm11 gee version. And i've been experiencing battery drain when the phone is idle. For eg. Overnight my phone dropped from 56-49 % doing nothing. I'm running this build with the built in kernel (Matr1x) and gapps from cyanogenmod's website. I tried 9/26, 10/01, 10/06, 10/13....all with the same battery drain problem. The ROM is solid and the battery life under usage is amazing (especially with jolla kernel). But battery keeps draining when the phone is idle (even with jolla kernel). This is really frustrating. Any help would be appreciated

I noticed the same 1% per hour deep sleep airplane mode drain with both Matr1x and Jolla on my E975 running latest PA. I personally have found faust93's modified Franco to be solid. It gives good battery performance---no drain in airplane mode. You can find it here xep dot 8800 dot org slash e957. Latest version ends with 2010.

Oh yeah sorry, i forgot to mention airplane mode. However, Jolla kernel is the best kernel i've used so far. I tried Franco once and the problem persisted, Will try again. Thankyou

Welcome. One thing that we both implied but didn't spell out is that both the said Matr1x and Jolla are modified with the stock camera port. As far as I know, the modified Franco and UKS by faust93 are the only other kernels as of now that support stock camera driver. For me personally, as mentioned earlier, Franco worked out better when it comes to energy efficiency. On the other hand, the drain problem while sleep in airplane mode does not seem to exist with kernels using the Mako driver---AK, Matr1x, MiRaGe, etc---all seem to hold their juices just fine while idling away.. Have a good one.

Thankyou bud. Will give franco a go

Franco did nothing !! Battery drain still persistent. Went back to official cm11 and now everything is fine. I love the unofficial ROM ! But this problem is really frustrating

I hear you. Battery performance is one thing that I am sorta obsessed with in a phone. As I mentioned, I'm on the latest Paranoid Android (4.6 Beta 5) with faust93's Franco 2010 build. When I switch the phone to airplane mode, which is a bedtime routine, it wakes up the next day without losing any juice.
Personally, I think going with official CM11 is a good choice because of its more consistent level of development and support. Like you, I've tried a whole bunch of "private" Roms. At the end of the day, these are usually spare-time endeavors by one or two hobbyists. As a user, you are more or less at the mercy of the devs. Bigger teams like official CM11 and PA reduce this risk somewhat.
Have you troubleshot with Better Battery Stats, which could give you a hint on potential culprits? I've recently found another non-placebo battery saver app call Lion Tamer. You can download via Play and should be able to find a related XDA thread.

The only thing i hate about official cm11 is that it's CAF based, which means i can't try all the awesome aosp/mako based kernels on cyanogenmod. Which is why this unofficial version of cm was the perfect solution for me. However the drain issue is just killing me. I get 5.40 hrs sreen on time in around 1 and 1/2 day of usage in official cm11, which is really awesome battery life. But i just don't know why the battery starts acting all crazy when i flash the unofficial build. Gotta give it one more shot.

When I get back tomorrow night I'll do some comparisons with the gproj base and see what I can borrow.
This is getting to me also.

Battery drain when idle
Battery drain when phone is idle is still persistent It actually happens with every gee based build. Only gproj based builds are holding their juices.

Hey @MikeEx what is the solution for the idle battery drain ??

Is there some known problem regarding device encryption?
I tried to encrypt my E975 device but it keeps replying "Bad Password" (which isn't wrong) or restarts before it comes to the pin screen.
Things tried:
- Whiping all partitons / Clean reinstall from scratch
- Stock Kernel / Jolla Kernel tested
Used version: cm-11-20141216-UNOFFICIAL-gee.zip

The latest build of this rom gives me very good battery in standby and usage with Matr1x kernel and ondemand gorvernor.
But the gpu is always scaling on highest freq... Any solution?

Anyone having issues using tethering on the latest version (January 25th build)? I had it working properly on the December 16th build. I did do a dirty wipe when upgrading but I wanted to make sure that tethering was working for others before clean flashing...

So, I wanted to update people in case they had a similar situation. After not being able to tether initially, I lost GPS yesterday. GPS had been rock solid for about 2 months. The strange thing was that I never lost data.
I was able to fix the situation by using CWM to back up the 1/25th build, flashing back to stock, restoring EFS and getting a solid GPS lock, and then restoring back to the 1/25 build. GPS and tethering now work fine with the 1/25 build.
I hope this information helps someone.

High battery drain when using a 3.0 kernel

Flashed the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492461 which uses a 3.0 kernel. It runs smooth on my device. However, if I use my phone to listen to music, my battery drains very fast (about 40%/h) although I'm not doing anything else with the device. It also gets quite warm as if it had a high CPU load. However, the CPU load is low as you'd expect. The CPU clock is also OK, most of the time it runs at 245Mhz.
I then downloaded the very same RO with a 2.6 kernel. This time, battery was good when listening to music (1%/15m) and the device stays at a normal temperature so I assume there is a problem with the 3.0 kernel. Did anybody else also encounter this? What can I do to help debugging this problem?
Personally I'd suggest to move over to a similar but better/more stable ROM. Two that come to mind are mimicry and elitemod ICS, both are great and have far less bugs than the ROM you are using. But to each there own... I'd suggest contacting the developer, either within the thread or via pm and ask him why he implemented the 3.0 kernel when it is just far to buggy to use as a daily driver? I'm not hating on him just seems as it was put in his ROM and well... not supported much thereafter.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The 3.0 kernel isn't as stable as 2.6. If the battery drain issue is that bad then I would suggest moving onto a rom that still uses 2.6. Or if you feel lucky, go test out Andromadus JB which also has the 3.0 kernel. It might be better there. Considering you're testing this with a music app, why not try another application? Try changing the overclock settings. The unofficial CM9.1 and Andromadus are mostly in testing right now. You'd have to be willing to deal with these problems if you use those roms, and report the bugs to the authors.
I would suggest using Mimicry. It may not have all the new bells and whistles like 3.0 kernel, but at least it's stable.
For the record, the 2.6 kernel that Mimicry uses has a *ton* of 3.0 kernel patches merged into it.

Thanks for the replies! Forgot to mention that I first also blamed the audio player (Apollo) and changed to the app I used with the stock ROM but the battery drain was just as bad. So: sorry Apollo
My intention was to help the author of the ROM to track down that issue. But since I'm new to these forums I wasn't allow to reply to the original thread so I wanted to ask first if this is a known general issue of the 3.0 kernel. I'll PM the author and point him to the thread. If anybody knows a good thread on debugging battery drain issues or knows how to do this, please feel free to post links here, I'll also search further.

[Q] CM10 - FreeXperia Project - Battery drain

hi, i am using sony xperia s with freexperia cm9.1.
the last few times i tried fxp cm10 and experinced a big battery draining. from 99% to 70% in just 3 hours and so on... it was in standby and i just used a few times in that time...
does anyone have the same problem?
i tried it withe the cm10 version 149 and 150 from fxp and i have still the same problem...
i can't ask here because of the "10-Posts-Rule"
when i install the rom, i clear the dalvik-cache and then flash the zip..
do i need to do something else?
The drain can be high at first let it settle and check the drain after you have recharged the battery 2-3 times.. And as always if you have bad 3G coverage it will drain your battery, I always have mine set to 2G, no DATA and no Location services(gps). If I'm only using my phone in a moderate way it lasts 1½-2 days.
Yeah I've been noticing this as of late. I'm having major battery drains and can't seem to find the cause, it's like literally less than 12 hours before I need to recharge?
I'm having the same problem as well... With the Stock Rom and CM9 i could work much longer.
CM10 is eating up my battery...
its not because gps, wlan or whatever..
i've these things always on (CM9) and the battery life is good, but not on CM10
however i'am now on DualCores StockMod and it's veeeeeerrrryyyyy goood
the only issue for me is low incall volume
to all try nova kernel
I'm using that it works good.
even fixes low in call volume.
nova kernel? is it only for cm?
gonna try it tommorrow when the world is still there :fingers-crossed:
" It is for JellyBean ROM such as CM10 and AOKP ONLY."
Use PAC rom and nova kernel. I get really good battery life with that combination. Its been on for 28h now and i have 34% left.

Damn, sorry about that.... Thanks for the heads up though, I'll update the op with this info until its fixed.
@Haze028
This rom is amazing. I did get the green demigod kernel panic screen on first boot. I replaced the kernel with the boot.img from Houstonn's 4/2/2013 modded Rootbox, and ran it for about 6 hours without a kernel panic. I did the same thing with your AOKP, and have not seen one kernel panic in 4 days, and can run benchmarks just fine. I am back to running this set up for now due to the rotation issue in Liquid, but once this is fixed I will be back.
Also, I did want to report that Torch is not working on Liquid. This is after a fullwipe. I fixed this by swapping the Torch.apk from Rootbox in the zip and reflashing. I tried copying it to System/App while running the rom, but it would not install, it would just delete Torch all together. I had to add it to your zip before flashing for it to work.
Again, thank you for this amazing rom.
It looks so good,thanks.

I haven't yet had a kernel panic, 11 hours in now. Though I had one case, about 3 hours ago, where the screen would not wake up and I had to power it down and reboot. It has been fine since then.
I can confirm the lack of torch, I'll add that to the OP as well untill I get it resolved. I'll try to work on some things tonight and see about getting another build out soon.
Thanks for the info though, I'll see what I can do.

Well, as you know, I can't turn the NFC off. One more thing is that when I used wifi to connect to the Internet, every thing is ok, but when I use 3G+ to surf the Internet, I found that battery indicator reduced very quickly( quicker than normal even it declined 2-3% in a few times).
And in Performance, I set CPU at min: 384 and max:810 but when I checked, I saw that CPU still run at 1026(I already checked "set on boot"). I don't know if it it an error or not.

You should be able to turn off NFC, if it is sitting greyed out when you unchecked it reboot and try again... Works fine for me.
The frequency thing is known.... I've noticed however using fauxclock it stays down at 384 or whatever it is. Fauxclock is a paid app though so i cant include it. Ill look into an alternate app to use which works better and update when i find it
Edit: as for the internet, I haven't noticed yet...switched back to AOKP, testing the linaro tool chain build. Liquid still is full of issues..... Had trouble building, pretty much hack jobed it through as I didn't have too much time to play.

Which ROM/Kernel are you using and Why?

Simple Question. Why are you using the ROM and Kernel that you are using. What does it give you that makes you stick with it?
ROM: - CyanogenMod 11
The most popular ROM available. Has some really good features and provides quick updates. Though I am thinking of switching to another ROM because it's become real slow now.
Kernel - - DirtyV
Definitely the most popular Kernel on the forums now. Much faster than CM stock Kernel. Battery life is average.
ROM - Dreams – Because it's my built and it has everything what I need.
Kernel - AOSPA kernel with some minor changes by me – Because I don't flash custom kernels. ––Soon 3.4 kernel when it works on tuna!
I've tried several roms and ultimaetly, I got tired of flashing a new rom every week (sometimes 3-4x a week) and I landed on Vanir with their stock kernel.
It's not amazingly great, but it will do until I found one that better.
Anyone?
Have tested every ROM to date from 4.2 to 4.4.2 and I still have been using PA 4.1.2 ROM w/Zen kernel combo for the past 1.5 yrs, since it's the only one that works exactly like I want and also stable.
Main features being full tablet mode w/status/navigation/notification bar all at the bottom(if needed) but mostly used in extended desktop mode w/out the crappy built-in ROM PIE Controls, fully functioning stock browser:
LiquidSmooth - many features but no slowdowns like on some other ROMs
Fancy or DirtyV - constant and frequent updates to make them even better

How old is your battery?
Cause it shouldn't be much older then mines and I'm still getting a full days worth of battery life from 4.1.2 ROM.
That's including 40+ mins of BT audio streaming in the car(BT is never ever toggled off), 20+ mins of talk time, all play store updates are auto over data, push email, weather/stock widgets update every 30 mins on home screen and screen set to auto brightness.
Might be worth it to buy a replacement battery.

That's including 40+ mins of BT audio streaming in the car(BT is never ever toggled off), 20+ mins of talk time, all play store updates are auto over data, push email, weather/stock widgets update every 30 mins on home screen and screen set to auto brightness.
Might be worth it to buy a replacement battery.

I never bought another battery, so its around year and 7-8 months. I would buy it but Im thinking to buy new phone soon anyway so thats the reason I stuck with this poor battery. And I know battery is not that old but I charge it like 2 times at least everyday, maybe thats the reason it lost some of its capacity.
Anyway, your resulsts are amazing, espcialy BT turned on all time
Rom: SlimKat Stable 4
Kernel: Dirty V SR 3.26 Nephilim's settings
Vanir + SmithyV. Fast and simple.

JellyBean feels more stable than KitKat roms!

Vanir 4.3.1 Final with standard kernel
Super stable and very fast + no problem with the well known memory leak/bug after a few days :good:
.
Shiny ROM - I've tried some ROMs and this is the most stable and fast imho
franco.Kernel r396
Cm remix with default kernel. Awesome rom and kernel
sorry if my english hurts someone
CM11 snapshot + build in kernel
use many rom and kernel before, some of them very smooth and fast, but not stable most of the time when flash an update.
CM11 snapshot build give me the best what i want.
Rom: CM11 - Dont know why
Kernel: Fancy forever
LiquidSmooth + DirtyV or SmittyV, total badass performance and bleeding edge commits
CM11 Snapshot + DirtyV-SR
CM is really stable and pretty close to the stock while having few useful features.
Dirty-V is suuuuper smooth and SR version gives additional RAM.
resurrection + fancy 45. super smooth and fast

Changing a Kernel, what is allowed?

Ok, I have tried a number of roms in the last few weeks. from the last TOLTECAN offical rom from BELL (my original provider) to 14.1 and Ditto etc.. and now back to my Slimfast 4.4 - I keep coming back to it. Seems to be best for me.
BUT - I put an agni kernel on it a couple of years ago.. at the time it was the thing.. this is fast.. this will give you better battery etc.
Well I get random shutdown(perma sleep) and I have lost the GPS or GPS is messed up., etc.. I love this rom, but I think the Kernel is the issue, I have read other threads more current where agni kernels are really frowned on.
I want STABLE - and good battery with this Slimfast 4.4 rom if I can - Can anyone point me to a kernel I can flash that should give me that with this?
Thanks
James
The most stable ROM is going to be stock. You can try to increase battery life by rooting and removing bloatware too.
Note to anyone reading. I did upgrade to the last [email protected] kernel that was available and dated in 2016. SO far, so good. A lot of my issues with GPS and (knock on wood) the hard sleep issues are gone.
SO.. hopfully that can help one other person
