I just installed the Stingray ROM on my XOOM from Peter Alfonso (Thanks Pete) and it is working fine except for some big battery drain. I think the culprit may be the fact that I have a Verizon Xoom. I don't use the Verizon Mobile data and only WIFI.
Does anyone know if the Wingray ROM would work on a 4g XOOM? If I loose the ability to do Mobile Data it won't matter for me since like I mentioned I only use it on WIFI.
If I remember correctly, you can flash the wingray rom.

Awesome idea. I'm in the same boat and turning mobile data off still seems to have a large battery drain, going to give this a shot.
Let me know if this works my battery drains completely in a day

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. After 12 hours (2 hours use + 10 hours screen off) I'm at ~30% with Android OS being the largest consumer at 40% and screen the next largest at 30%. It doesn't appear to be any rogue apps draining battery. I've even used Autostarts to kill a lot of 3rd party apps that try to run in the background at startup.
I'm running a late September CM10 nightly. I feel like the second I upgraded to a Jelly Bean ROM my battery dropped off of a cliff. I might try flashing the rooted OTA Wingray JB ROM and see if there's a battery improvement. If not, I'll try going back to an ICS ROM. If THAT doesn't work... I have no idea.
Yeah I have the same problem and I have had a xoom before and do not remember this problem when I was on ice cream sandwich. I see others with great battery on a JB rom and am wondering what they are doing that I am not? I even have airplane on with wifi and it still loses all power in a day? If a JB rom doesnt work I will go back to a ICS rom.

Last night, I flashed the stock OTA (rooted) Wingray JB ROM. My battery life is back to what I expected. After about a 10 hour overnight sit, it went from 82% to 78%.
[UPDATE][JB]Stock Android 4.1.1 JRO03H, Root, via CWM Recovery (US Wi-Fi MZ604)

In order to isolate whether it is the ROM or my apps, I did not restore any of my apps. Now that I know a clean ROM is good on battery I will restore my slew of apps and report back if it results in an excessive battery drain again or not.
Cool, just sucks to have to flash a wingray rom on a 4glte tablet. I had a xoom before and it had the 4glte update applied and the battery life was still decent on a ICS rom. It is just horrible on a JB rom but there are those that swear they have great battery life?

Another update:
I restored all of my apps yesterday and used my Xoom regularly to make sure it had a normal load of 'running' and cached apps. Overnight it went from 53% charge to 48%. At this point, I'm 99% sure that current Stingray JB ROMS are the culprit of battery drain and using a Wingray ROM fixes it.

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems with the battery draining with the new 4.0.4 ? My GF Nexus S was still on 2.3.6 so I got the factory version of 4.0.4 and installed it. I obviously wiped the data/cache/etc. Also I rooted it with the latest superuser.
I'm running the latest nighly of CM9 and everything is perfect, so I thought it was time to give her the sweetness of ICS.
So with all that useless information, has anyone found a fix for the battery drain in 4.0.4?
Thank you,
WarpedMonkeys
Since I installed 4.0.4 my battery lasts up to 20 hours, no problem at all.
I'd suggest manual full wipe with fresh 4.0.3 stock rom and then manual ota update to 4.0.4.
I'm also using matr1x kernel, it's just awesome
Hope it helps

Stock rom is ok, but updating with ota from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 may lead to bad battery behaviour. Someone says that battery stats wipe could lead to better battery performances, but I think fresh install could do the trick

Check your battery usage, if Android OS is using more than 8-9% after some regular usage, then that's the cause.

A full battery cycle could do the trick. Don't let it die, anyway, because it can cause battery wear... Just take it to 10% and recharge it nighttime... You may also wipe battery data before, if you wish...

Heavy battery drain ??? i don't have any issues with it, infact i have not touched my phone for 1 day 6 hours and 25 minutes and my battery dropped from 95% to 82%. My phone was fully charged (didn't go higher then 95%). I am very impressed by the results.
I changed 2 settings:
1. Automatic screen brightness.
2. Turn screen off after 30 seconds.

Hello,
my Nexus S was updated automatically to version 4.0.4. I will tell you. My problem is with data. Now I can not open any WWW page in default viewer,Opera sometimes opens some pages but quite rare. I can not get any email in K9 Mail. Update of Google maps took several hours, unfinished, eaten all my battery! Sometimes I am without signal or with bad signal.
It is for sure problem with 4.0.4 because I have unlimited data. So, no FUP in this case.
I was satisfied with 2.3.6. How can I do downgrade without rooting etc. my phone ?

Try find out what is hogging your battery/cpu. Download os monitor.
Or just flash a new rom to see if that helps. make a backup first
My Xoom, regardless of the ROM, drains incredibly fast. I've tried flashing EOS2/3 CM9/10, doing proper installs by deleting all cache/data/battery stats, and even not installing any apps in an effort to narrow down the cause of my poor battery life. Android OS is always the culprit. I've left my Xoom on battery overnight and in the morning it'll be at 60%. BetterBattery Stats usually just says Android System under partial wakelocks, reporting inconsistantly on the number of counts. What should i do?

Thanks, but this isn't much help.
I ran BBS again, unplugged for an hour, and in the course of an hour the battery dropped 10% with AudioOut_2 running for 116 seconds, 28 counts, and 2.6% of my partial wakelock. What is curious is when I go to battery in settings, on the graph, the Awake blue line that should indicate my device is awake barely shows, but when I select Android OS, Keep Awake is the entire time it's been unpluged.

My current solution is to run a Wingray ROM. I have that luxury because I don't subscribe / use 4G data. Even with it turned off, something about the Stingray software cause a major battery drain. That might have something to do with why we haven't seen it pushed OTA from Verizon yet...

I am thinking of getting back to ICS but I will miss JB features
it was like that on my epic 4g touch. i ics worse than GB, JB worse than ICS. i ended up going back to GB with that phone. but my sgn2 has incredible battery life on JB. i'd suppose that on ICS it would be astronomical.
did you tried to deactivate / freeze new "bloatware" like
- new Samsung Syncs
- Google Now
- ...
Batt life is still phenomenal with JB for me, although Google Now is activated and everything is synced. (It´s my main work-tool now)
Clean 11 hrs on HSPA with always on.
Clean 14,5 hrs on WiFi with always on.

i feel opposite i mean after installing 4.1.2 version stock or omega rom or android revolution hd v5.1 i feel'd it's much better power manager than i thought!
sorry about the language!
I don't know how the battery life was on ics or gb because as soon as I got it, I upgraded to Jelly Bean.
I am running Android Revolution HD 5.1 and the battery life has been just awesome.
I get around 14 hours with 8-9 hours of screen use and I've never had it go under 10% battery life thus far.
-Keep it at around 10 to 20% brightness, I've never needed more that that.
Don't even have power saving turned on! Also I set it to 30min timeout to sleep if not in use.
The battery life is so great I almost can't believe its this good.

I used to get about 24hours on my international version S4 running ICS while running a 3G connection,and a good amount of screen usage.
Ever since the JB update(i updated within 2 days of its release), battery life dropped to 9 hours max, and it has been incredibly difficult to live it.
I switched to TrickDroid 9.1 hoping for better battery life. I then turned off Google Now permanently but i am still not getting more than 9 hours of battery life.
Has my battery been spoilt completely? Has its life reduced because ive been running jelllybean for so long now ? Is there anything i can do to fix this ? Or has this got something to do with Sense 4+ ?

I got this phone (S3) with Jb already installed in it, so dont know the difference in battery timings with ICS or JB. But one thing is sure the battery life of this phone (seems with Jb, coz i read the same thing on some other forums as well) is quite poor. I also get less time on battery. Though i have auto sync on for some accounts like gmail, but still battery time shd not be that poor. Hopefully it will be resolved in some next updates. :S
Also i m facing sound issue (posted in other thread in this forum with Jb). Dont know whether this sound issue is only with few handsets or with all One S (having Jb).

What might be a solution for you both is installing a custom kernel
I'm running dark jelly cm10.1 rom in combination with bubba kernel v2.7, and with the right settings I get awesome battery life.
I can really reccomend switching to aosp rom like dark jelly in combo with this kernel.
Or check out xda forums for sense kernels to combine with trickdroid rom, like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851841

The kernel you listed is for 4.0.4 based ROMs.
Anyway, i already have the kernel for TrickDroid.
I'll switch to a non-sense ROM and see if things get better.
So lately I've been working late and I am allowed to use my phone to listen to music at work. On days that I work late, I am forced to bring my phone charger to work because it doesn't last me all day, not even close. According to my battery page in settings, I've had a screen time of only 40 minutes today, and listened to roughly only 20 minutes of music with a few short texts sent here and there and I'm already down to 74% battery life. I am running the most recent official Liquidsmooth (2.3 release) and have my brightness turned way down, and the CPU turned down to a max of 1124Mhz. I am also running the kernel that comes with the ROM, which I'm almost positive is LeanKernel.
Is it normal to be draining my battery this fast with not even an hour of screen time and barely using it? I even turn off data usage when I don't use my phone because I'm concerned about battery life. Is there anything I can do to improve battery life? I don't even touch the Voltage Settings and Advanced Settings under the Performance section, because I don't want to touch anything I don't know what to do or what settings make the ROM unstable. Anyone who can suggest good settings for more stable battery life, even if it sacrifices performance would be a huge help too! Thank you in advanced

The correct kernel is the AOSP 3.4 Linux version. That being said I just flashed that kernel with 2.2 last night and it seized up my phone. Nandroid now. So that was a bad night.

Thanks! I downloaded and flashed it. No problems here. Just need to find the correct tweaks for better battery life.
Let me know what you find. I'm still on the stock lean kernel for LS
I'm curious as well what these battery tweaks are. I installed liquidsmooth 2.4 over the weekend and have since moved back to my rooted stock primarily because of battery drain. I really like the aosp interface but can't afford to have it rape my battery. I was getting like 6 Hrs only on a charge. With my stock rooted rom I get about 19 Hrs on a full charge.
I am using liquidsmooth 2.4 and have been going for 17hrs today still got 20% left. I have the lean kernel that it flashes with and never had battery issues.
