Battery life: three days sixteen hours at 25%

Yes, I've been using my phone the past few days. Andromeda Three is great.
EDIT: I was dumb and didn't notice my phone number there, could a mod remove the quoted pictures? Lol.

i got about 3 days on andromeda 1.2 with moderate use. if the op is a light user and turns data and wifi off when not in use i would expect about that. honestly that rom is so good on battery that i stopped using juice defender because it was only saving me a couple percent and since i could already go 2 days without thinking about it and have 25-35% battery left.

Apparently background data has been on this whole time since I hit the market icon and it went to the market automatically...

Beat me to it lol
Andromeda was a great battery saver for me too, but I can't say it was THAT great lol.

I had great standby time on Andromeda but with heavy usage it was about normal. Leaving it for 8 hours with no use I would get 0-1% battery drain and that was with data and Gmail syncing. With heavy use i was able to get around 3 hours of screen use a day, sometimes a little more.

We put alot of work into refining Andromeda3.

Well I was on Andromeda when it came out. Never got 3 days.

Temple run issues

Does anyone else have problems when playing temple run with it not being sensitive enough? I even turned my sensitivity all the way up and i feel like i have to tilt really far in order to get my guy to move from side to side :/

There are like 2 threads about this, check the general section, there is a thread about it. From what I've seen its a problem with cm7 and cm7 based ROMS or CM7 kernels like Faux's cm7 kernel and Trinity's cm7 kernel. It works perfectly on stock and on Cm9 WITH harsh's 3.0 kernel.

Just like a 1st person shooter. Get used to it at a super high sensitivity and you'll be way better off.

It could be rom issues. I recently flash Genesis ics and the sensor works fine when it wasn't b4. however, sometimes my swipe doesn't register
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

Definitely a kernel issue the stock kernel is the way to go kuz that's how the game is meant to be sensitive but trinity and faux make it not sensitive enough. Also words of advice when playing temple run to prevent the falling off the edge just wait a milliseconds longer before attempting to make turns...trust me it works I broke 5 mill a few times but for some reason my screenshot app didn't work lol

For one, the "stock kernel" is going to be different depending on which ROM you use. And no one is going to choose which kernel they use over one game.

New personal battery whore record

It's well known I like to be a battery whore, my previous record was a little over 48 hours on a full charge with my Infuse. Today I beat my old record by about....20 hrs!
All notifications off except Gmail. 3g data turned off for about 80% of the time. Wifi on but set to turn off when phone sleeps. I did use the phone, text, talk, surf, etc. Probably would be considered light usage though.

I don't use battery calibration personally. I just keep an eye on wakelocks with Better Battery Stats and make sure to kill apps when I'm done using the phone.

Yea no offense when people give battery stats they give them when they've actually used their phone. Of course a battery will last longer if it's not being used or if no notifications are actually being used. Those are what eat the battery

I never use notifications, never will. This is my normal usage pattern. As I said in the OP, I do use the phone.

Get rooted and remove blot wear
Best way in some sense to get great battery life is get rooted, use Excellent Roms that removes all bloatware and find any apps that are continually running in background and remove them. (Tip) Get titanium backup and backup your apps then remove them but if you need later then reinstall them for future use. Just a few things to mention, so much more to add to save battery. I suggest you just use your phone and try and save in other ways that will extend you daily use.

How much screen on time? That's generally the best measure of battery life, because if your screen isn't on, you're not really using your phone. And a percent usage tells nothing.
My infuse is currently going on 12 days, 14 hours, 16 minutes, 7 seconds since last unplugged with 1 hour 28 minutes of screen on time. That being said, it's because I use it purely as a backup alarm clock without a sim card now that I have my Note, haha. And no, I'm not going to go to the hassle of rooting, downloading a screenshot app, then waiting another 12-14 days to prove it. Just goes to show that battery life doesn't mean much without usage.

Was it with a stock battery

Also I just remembered that Kraver said he compiled his version from the source code, so doesn't that mean that that there is an ICS kernel for the sgs4g floating around out there? Granted an untested kernel, but an ICS kernel none the less. I am obviously not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, Granted I don't even know if that info will actually help you at this point, but it was something I just remembered when you said that you where trying to use a GB kernel. Either way we have faith in you if these guys can do it so can you!!!
