Nexus S Battery Life - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can barely hold above 9 hrs with minimal use. Can anyone help me improve my battery life? What is your ROM, Kernel, Governor, Scheduler, and OC/UV setup? Help a brotha out.

Forget all that nonsense. See what is using up all the battery/keeping the phone awake/signal etc. That is almost certainly your issue. Not rom/kernel/volts etc

Airplane mode, you shouldn't be boasting about battery life really, you're misleading people!

This is what I get with about medium use.
ROM: Brainmasters MIUI 2.2.17
Kernel: Matrix 17.0.
Frequency: 1050 max 210 min.
Gov: Lazy
Live OC 105.
Arm voltages dropped by 25.

Try Matr1x
I can get 2d battery life with ICS and Matr1x kernel and very minimal usage. Get the kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361477.
For monitoring battery usage, I use https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en.
This was achieved with ICS 4.0.3 (CM), Matr1x kernel 1.5, deep idle enabled, Wheatley governor. Since this, I have updated to Matr1x 17.0 and stopped using deep idle because of instabilities. Battery life is still acceptable but varies day-to-day but is still almost always over 1d.

Faux123 kernel for Weapon 3.0?

I just got my G2X and just flashed Weapon 3.0 but I feel like it kills my battery. So I wonder if I can use any faux123's kernel with it?

Reset the battery stats and let it run for a couple of days. The kernel included with Weapon 3.0 is the most battery effecient one. I get 14-24 hours depending on use.

Wow! That is a hot score. Hmm...I have tried custom kernels on some other roms with mixed results (probably my fault). Anyway, I am willing to give it a try again. What is the best way to back up the original kernel in case I want to reinstall it? Of course their is a nandroid back up, but is there a simple way to back up just the kernel?

The only problem I have with Faux123's kernel is it's god awful boot times. Takes about 2.5 minutes.

Temperature for OC/UV Infuse 4G

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What type of max temps should I be looking for, from the battery temp sensor?

- Stability Test CPU+GPI /512+ MB
- Wireless ON
- Charging w/ AC adapter

Undervolting w/ Voltage Control
-100mV across the board...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App
Hard ?, idk. If it just gets warm, then just simply underclock it. That is what i do lol. If your playing a game, then it may get warm on stock settings but prob not. Another thing i recommend, do not always leave it overclocked. It will ruin the phone after a while, mine is only overclocked when im doing tests lol. I have heard of i9000s and such dying out after like a year being overclocked at 1.6 all the time.
what is your governor on?
correct me if im wrong but if you use on demand it will only use 1.6GHz when needed so when just sliding through homescreens it will not use as much
and will thi device really die if i overclock it for too long?

[Q] What is the best kernel and rom combo?

I was wondering what's the best combo to optimize ram usage to run graphic heavy games such as Shadowgun.
I don't play many games but I have the stock HTC kernel 2.6.35 for the xe and I'm running senseay xe 2.0 Rom and average 300 mb free of ram.

I use Sense-o-Maniac Sense 3.5 with Bricked kernel 2.6.35.14 overclocked to 1.89Ghz if i need it CPU Tuner is really great to set performance levels.
I too am wondering what's the best rom to go for. I'm currently using InsertCoin 3.4.3, but stability seems a bit patchy on my phone. I've already tried faux123's kernel but it ran way too hot, so I'm using bricked 1.5 instead now. Just wondering if there were any other roms that have been proven to be faster and more stable than InsertCoin.
The Rom I use has been my daily since I installed it the day he posted the Rom. Stable no fc's and I've used brick kernel on it for awhile with a little problems and went back to stock kernel seemed faster not oc'd running at 1.2 MHz.

6227 using CM7, no over-clocking.
Got 10522 on my asus transformer prime - stock though
I've been curious about this...what does this mean exactly for our phones? If we have scores in the 7000's does this mean the skyrocket is the highest benchmarked phone? I have never been too sure what the results actually meant since a score of 7000 puts the skyrocket above all other phones...? Can other phones not top that?
i dont get it, i never get above a 4770.
you can see what im running in my sig.

When I first started using this Rom/Kernel combo I was getting really low scores ( In the 4000 point area ). I then realized that the second core was always disabled. I had to use System Tuner Pro to enable the second core.
Ive had the same issue getting 4500s with cokeclassic. My first was 72?? then the rest have been around 4500, WTH? I dl system tuner and messed with a few things so Ill let you know what I find out!

These isn't a very good basis.
You'll need to charge to 100% and then let the battery drain.
So the battery saving option is only for screen off if so well that's pretty good I wounded if there's a way to turn one core off totally cuz I don't ever play games on my phone just text and call well see I got work tomarow so then ill be able to compare
ok so im running acidhazard 4.2 with thiazo3d 1.2 kernel with tweakzv6 also running simple home launcher from LG. i turned the max cpu speed of secound core to 300mhz and put it on power saving profile ill report back with battery info after using for a couple days at work.
wish i could use samno's kernal with undervolt that would probly give me awsome battery life, but i get no service with his kernel.
ok bad idea to turn one core all the way down got kinda jumpy and laggy veiwing xda web site lol ill try finding a sweet spot
