Thanks for the info. I was hoping it was software. Jeff
Hopefully we can hax this to use more power somehow in the kernel hmmm

More like conserve cost.
Samsung is cutting corners, as usual. Having them manufacture a Google branded phone was a big mistake.

I keep hearing that this should fix the battery issues in cm7, but I can't find out if it can be loaded on the inspire. Anyone know or tried it?

The newer builds don't have a battery issue, most, including myself, get a 3mA drain while asleep which is as good if not better than most other ROMs, sense included.

Run current widget and let it log. Sounds like a software glitch preventing true sleep.

I've already done all of that. My battery is decent when the phone is asleep. Where it sucks is when I am using it. I can browse the web for 10 minutes and I am done 6% battery or so. Even if I have the phone active most of the time, the biggest battery drains show as cell standby. Something is killing the radios when the phone is in use.

3 mA idle current is just phenomenal out of any device. Nexus one sees 6 mA, even the desire s sees 20 mA, thunderbolt is seeing 30 mA for some reason.
They really optimized the inspire.
So back to the original question....

I get 3mA on both cm7 and RCMix5.9.3. It is a regular occurence for me.

How much current is your phone draining while idle with the screen on?

I mostly do light browsing on my phone on wifi. If I browse for about 10 minutes or so I'm down 5-6%. When I was stock I'd lose maybe 1-2% after 10 minutes.
What I meant was how many milliamps is it draining while the screen is on? Battery Monitor Widget is what I use to check such things.
Also, what is your cpu set at in terms of speed and governor?

I can't seem to figure out the difference between the screen being on and the device being awake... I thought they were the same thing?

Screen on is the screen is physically on. Awake is the processor is running an apps are using power. You wouldn't want awake to be a lot unless your screen is on a lot. If it is, that means something is running while your screen is off(wake lock). Typically resulting in a bad battery drain.

What apps are known for running in wake lock? Is it a system problem?

if i remember correctly, better battery stats is a highly recommended app for monitoring wakelocks/battery usage

I've heard of GSam as well as better battery stats, and then being differently priced, is there a key difference or advantage to one or the other? Dropping a buck more for better battery doesn't bother me, I just don't wanna have to buy both in the end.

Better battery stats is very powerful, it reads pretty much everything. It will take a bit of research to understand all of its functions though. It also uses root permissions to dig deep into the kernels power consumption. If you really don't want to donate (pay), the paid version is available in the apps section for free for xda members.

I haven't really found anything solid about this, but I habitually (like conventional wisdom really) keep my mobile data off until I actually need it, then it's off again. And the only substantial difference I've found is that the cpu jumps around alot while connected. But what are your guy's thoughts on this?

Well I think it depends. If you turn off data and continue to use the phone, then you're probably saving some battery. If you turn off data, then turn off the screen and let the phone drop into deep sleep, the savings in battery is probably negligible.
It also depends on your area as well. I always turn my data off when I am around any wifi. I get substantially better battery life
I was wondering if anyone knows of an app or a mod coming out where voice command will work on any screen/if the screen is off? Just curious.

Someone will eventually make it. The thing is without a dedicated processor like the moto x has, the battery drain would make this phone's battery even worse.

Also this mod could be combined with some intelligence:
* When charging, enable 'always on' google now
* Otherwise google now from lock screen enabled only with double press of power button
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, has there been any progress on this front? I would love me some always listenings.
I actually want to permanently disable it, whenever i long press my headset button which i used to set for rewind the mp3 i'm currently listening, google now popup.....

Isn't this what you're looking for? I don't know if it uses the low-power core and whatnot, but it seems to do what it's set out to do at least.
Hi just got my nexus 5 and been trying to run benchmarks on it... In antutu they say the CPU is poor and in 3d mark physics test is very low... I know about the thermal throttle but really how severe is it?!? Also how to enable quickboot in cm11?!? Also some custom kernel supports quickboot???

You're labeling your phone defective because of a benchmark score?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
If I'm analyzing the information you provided correctly, I'd say it's definitely defective. I recommend selling it on swappa and purchasing an iPhone.!.!???.!.!.!
No it is not defective.
If you go to the development sections and read the opening posts on the kernel threads....they usually list the features.
Research and reading are the XDA way!
Clearly read instructions before flashing anything of course.

And no, i don't know which, if any have such a feature. My N5 boots in about 20 seconds....that's quick enough for me.
I don't think your N5 is defective at all.
It is not the phone that is defective
Guys also my phone generated the 2nd bug report without me doing anything... Once before too it did it by itself... Also when I used my phone while it was charging... The screen went haywire but after a reboot it worked fine... I'm on stock rooted and xposed... Since Google now works on any screen now and also when screen is off and charging... Is it possible to make an app that will make gnow think the phone is charging even when its not and then we'll get touch less control too...

Actually no... Our s800 processor has low power DSP or something just like moto x... So I dont think there will be a huge difference!!!

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

True... But a person from aokp has successfully activated the core... He hasn't made it public but he has done a video for YouTube...

I am a believe when I can do it too guy.
He'll be a hero if he can do it for everyone to benefit. Especially in the N5's case.
Can anyone suggest some good mods for me... I'd prefer non flashable since I always boot the twrp image and then do whatever is necessary and then relock the boot loader after resetting the flash counter... So I run stock recovery as I just wanna be sure that my phone in case of a service center visit I get to keep my warranty... Also is there some kind of flash tool??? As in complete wipe and reflash ... As in even when boot loader is deleted???
