I've been using VirtuousICS with pretty much terrible battery issues (drains, wrong value, random battery drop) so I went back down and flashed Android Rev HD 3.611.
Im still getting a really weird battery issue however, 4ext read my battery was at 23% I restarted the phone and then it read that it was fully charged.
I thought it was the Kernal but with the new flash the kernal was changed so it cant be that
I've gone into clockwork and deleted the battery values, so im thinking now is that its the ICS firmware that im still running which is plaguing my battery.
Does anyone know if I can go back down to a gingerbread firmware that I can run instead of my current ICS firmware?
I had these issues with the GB firmware, so I'd be careful. May not resolve the issue.
Have you tried the latest 4.0.3 ICS firmware?
I found reflashing a new version of recovery fixed these issues for me on GB.
Not yet, can I have a download?
and I just flash and then remove from Sd right?
Hi there, I wanted to post this under the nexusbeam thread but my postcount doesn't allow me to do this...
Anyway, I've been on NexusBeam 4.1.0 for a while now with Speedy-4 and I upgraded to NexusBeam 4.2.3. After flashing I calibrated the battery using battery calibration this morning. Since then the battery has gone from 100% to 0% in 3 hours. My battery life with the previous version was about 28hrs with heavy usage.
I am using a i9023 device. I believe its a ROM issue? I have used Speedy-4 before with the old ROM with no issues.
Another finding of note is that my Browser is using 53% of battery and there is no mention of screen using battery. I already forcestopped and killed the browser but to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
Will go back to my old NANDROID if this issue can't be fixed which sucks cuz I love the speed of the new version
Did you flash over 4.2.3 over 4.1.0 or did you do a full wipe and install 4.2.3? If you didn't already do so, you should do a full wipe and a fresh install of NexusBeam 4.2.3.
I've been on 4.2.3 since it came out (using Speedy-3 kernel however, I got random reboots with Speedy-4) and I've had fantastic battery life and no issues with the browser battery drain that you describe.
I recommend a full wipe and fresh install.
Yep, I forgot to mention. It was a fresh install. Wiped everything even used davlik-wiper
My battery is going from 44% to 6% and its getting annoying.
Im not sure what the problem could be.
Running MIUI 2.1.3 with Trinity Kernel over Frimware 3.122 RUU new release.
Should I reflash or try another rom. or maybe there is something I can do about battery calibration.

does it require rooting???
Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?
if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?
i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)
Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.
edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.
but what abt the battery issue...
it is the main problem of all...

Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?
it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.
this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.
Edit:
My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

is it a kernel or a rom...
and i saw the screenshots of this rom- CodenameDroid-(MOD)-1.2.0-NS
is this rom a good one....with faster performance and a good battery
tried ICS stock rom.
No battery problem. similar life compared with 2.3: about 1.5 days
but ICS is running slower than 2.3. Though speed still acceptable, but I want the 2.3 speed
@colocynth
Try the Matr1x Kernel und you will be fine....
Hi cloedu, I tried mv 2.1.28, using matrix kernel, if my memory is correct. Still not speed up, just like stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Formatting everything (system , boot , cache , data .....) in CWM recovery , then reinstalling stock ICS ROM made a day and night difference in battery life for me .... From 15 hours avarage to almost 1.5+ days ... Highly recommended...

So over the past few weeks I've been extremely flash happy. I've practically flashed every ROM in the dev section besides the JB roms that have broken radios. The latest ROM I flashed to was MIUI V4, it was super SUPER laggy and sluggish so I decided to go back to my all time favorite ROM of eaglesblood 4.0.4 AOSP. I flashed the rom, my favorite kernel (trinity g2x ics OC), new baseband fix and ICS Gapps package. Everything went fine at first boot except for the fact that I had no battery meter. It was gone. When I went into settings > battery it said my battery percentage was 999%. I figured it must have been something I did to the ROM zip as I modded battery icons in eaglesblood a few weeks prior may have had a corrupt file or something. So did a fresh download of the ROM. Flashed everything again, in the exact order and had the same problem. From there, I went back to my trusty nandroid backup of vanilla CM7 and my battery meter is working just fine. I cannot find a solution on the internet to what would make my battery icon, stats and overall detection completely disappear. Any ideas?
