Battery life super drain please help!!!!!

Hi, couple questions:
I recently flashed the newest miui rom with trinity kernel superwiped, wiped dalvik cache fixed permissions even followed instructions on first page about saving battery. im using set cpu 1118 -192 ondemand
1. been through 3 power cycles still only getting hardly 5 hours with heavy usage. i have everything turned off except mobile data. no rogue apps i dont play any games. could this be my radio?
2.i flashed newest firmware without cid (one of these users made one that you could flash without supercid flashed correctly however everytime i restart it stays on htc white screen and i have remove zip and reflash rom. what could this be?
3.ive done tons of research on keeping battery usage at a minimum yet i cant figure out whats eating my battery away. im nearly convinced its the firmware that i havent been able to get to the home screen. yes everyone says "no problem here" can someone help?

Souns like your rom and kernal arent playing well together. Did you use a custom kernel on the one that comes with the rom?
Also, are you ovrclcking the cpu 100% of the time? That happened to me just this morning. Somehow my cpu got set to max and the governor was keeping it at full speed at all times.

i havent changed the kernel, i just left the trinity one that comes with the rom.
as far as the cpu im kinda confused i just set it to 1118 to 192 on setcpu. how do i know if its going at 100% and how would i turn that down? i appreciate your feedback

System Tuner is a free aspp that will show you the load on both cores.
Get that and go to the cpu tab. Watch it for a minute and see it either core is maxing out constantly. It should drop to min if you are you sitting there not doing anything.
The next step is seeing if you have a persistant app that chewing battery

Oh...and if you are maxing out a core constantly, check the governor. (Can be checked right from that CPU screen in System Tuner)
My problem this morning wasn't the kernel or ROM. It was the governor. For some reason the supposedly smart governor was maxing out the CPU constantly. I just switched to conservative as the governor and boom....battery drain when from 10% per hour this morning to 1% per hour the rest of the day.

Nice! Im familiar with system tuner but no one has ever put it like that for me. Thanks a bunch for your help bro i had a feeling those ondemand governors were kinda ify. i was thinking about putting the governor on powersave but it puts both clocks on the bare minimum and i wasnt sure if thats the safest thing to do.

I have to try this, the battery is horrible in my Sensation. I am using the Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.0 ROM so within the Daemon Controller I will try to set my Wake Gov to Conservative. Lets see what happens.

[Q] Slow Nexus S?

Hello everyone!
I was hoping I could get some small guidance. I have my normal Nexus S running at 1050 MGHz all the time, and I have set all the boot tweaks to on in my ROM settings along with the SD Card read ahead value. I am on the Gummy 0.9 ROM with as few apps as I really want to have.
I cleared all apps cache, I zipalign them on boot (The ROM does) etc. and I have only a few apps on it. I use only picture wallpapers, i use stock messaging app and browser, and still my phone runs for about 45% of the time fine... but the rest of the time it is either extremely slow or unresponsive.
Any ideas? I don't have any applied themes or mods and the laucher I am using (iLauncher Pro) is (According to the settings) using about >30mb

How much free RAM do you have? Generally as it gets under the 100mb threshold things can really take a turn for the worse. You may have too many services (whether it be from apps or otherwise) trying to take it all for themselves.

Generally I have 60-105mb free RAM. The 105 is if all apps are closed, and 60-70mb is with my apps running and normal usage.
Thoughts?

try this kernel, its trinity teuv-mh-newspice http://goo.gl/F0Xm2
its underclocked and undervolted with a lot of available ram. dont pay any attention to the 880mhz top cpu speed, because its much faster than it seems and great on battery. oh, and the gpu is overclocked 10%

After few hours of use, my Nexus S gets too slow and laggy.. I think its coz of RAM as if I kill some apps, then it all gets better..
I am using AIR kernel + CNA 1.5.5..
Any ideas about this.??

LeanKernel 12.2 on SynergyROM 1.4

I tried to reply to the main thread in the development thread for SynergyROM, but as I do not have the 10 posts required, I figured I'd put it here. If this is against the rules, please let me know and remove this.
Apparently the busybox install on 1.4 is a little botched, and as such, when you install LeanKernel 12.2, it doesn't run the scripts it needs to in order to run it's magic.
All you need to do to get it to work again is fix the install of busybox on your phone. You can download busybox from the Play store and install it to your phone, and after that, installing the kernel should be relatively easy.
I've been running 12.2 on my phone for the better part of today at work and have had no issues with it at all.
I'd attach a link as proof, but apparently I can't do that either.

This is what I did too and it's working wonders.

Thx for your post and gr8 find on the busybox
I have been trying to decide which one to load
SynergyROM 1.3
or
SynergyROM 1.5
Now I know that imo 12.2 will work
long as the busybox is loaded first.
due to the issues with 12.2 loop booting.
Now I can load 1.4 will let you know how it goes.
Thanks Again.

The battery saver from the script sets the max frequency on the cpus to 1134000. This can be changed in the script as well. I run the batter saver but change the max frequency to 1350000 for both cores. I do not believe the kernel has underclocking abilities currently, but I may be wrong. Definitely snappier with the kernel than without. The combination of the two is excellent.

You may have accidentally flashed the v12 of the kernel. On the thread on rootzwiki look under changelog and download v12.2 it should fix the LED issue.

Want to post in the synergy thread but now enough post counts -_-
Anyone can think of a compelling reason to not jump for synergy 1.4 with the lean kernel 12.2 and wait for synergy 1.5 instead? Eschelon made it sound like it would drop soon and I'm just trying to gauge from the comments on the synergy thread if there are major problems.....main things that bother me are battery life degradation claims and 4G speed variances.
Bonus: A tad off topic, but I was wondering if anyone running the synergy roms replaced their touchwiz apps with aosp apps? Reason I ask is because I cannot live without the ICS email client and prefer the messaging client as well.
Thanks for the heads up from everyone confirming the busybox issue with 1.4 to be compatible with 12.2 lean kernel.

If you want to play around with Google Now then go for 1.4. 1.5 will not require a wipe according to eschelon. I've found the battery life on 1.4 to be close to par with 1.3. Maybe a little more battery hungry, but not much.

If you're using mikeys that I posted for you, -25 is the only way I could keep it from freezing/crashing on bb.

If I've helped hit the thanks button

Not all chips are baked equally. Some can handle lower voltages (or higher clock speeds for that matter) than others. The stock values are set such that (say) 99.99% can handle.
I put everything on -50 and then looked at which voltages are actually used a lot and put those another -25. You can tell which voltages are most used in tools like setcpu or system tuner or cpu spy.
Undervolting your CPU will not save too much battery under normal circumstances since the vast majority of power is used by screen and radios.

There was some extensive testing done with undervolting on a Nexus S and their final conculsion was that even extreme undervolting only saved ~2% from total battery drain.
I was pretty disappointed to hear the result myself, but their methods of testing look sound. I no longer undervolt anymore as a direct result of their tests.
It was a pretty good read if you want to check it out.

[Q] stable ROM with good battery life?

So my wife has an LG G2X on stock android 2.3.4 and she complains that after a while it will move so slowly that it is almost unusable. I have told her to restart the phone whenever that happens and she is having to do that about once a week, but that clears up the problem for a while. Aside from that, everything works as it should. It is using the march 2012 baseband.
Since it is not my phone, I do not know exactly what all she is doing on her phone, but I assume it is mostly facebook, watching videos, texting, and calls. I'm looking for a stable ROM where everything works like stock and has at least the same (if not better) battery life as stock.
And yes, I have searched but a lot of the info seems outdated. I am thinking that I might just run a rooted stock ROM with a custom kernel (leaning towards faux's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720 )... or maybe the stable cm-7.2.0-p999
summary: wife's G2X becomes VERY laggy after ~1 week use, suggest a fix
thanks :good:

Having to restart once a week is not problem, if anything that's a good thing lol. I had to restart my stock unrooted g2x multiple times a week.......if you move to a custom rom your wife will probably have to restart about the same if not more. I'm on cm7 and i restart about once a day just because i like to, not out of necessity. If your wife isn't huge into customization than a stock rooted rom will work just fine. Faux makes a great kernel but it was a little harsher on battery for my liking. I'm running Trinity oc right now and love it. If i were you, i would look at mazouts latest kernel build. He makes AWESOME kernels and ill be moving over to his latest release whenever it comes out tonight or tomorrow.

i had her on a cm7 build with her previous phone (motorola defy) and she seemed to like it OK. didn't customize it too much, just used all the default settings.
after i posted this thread, i actually started to look at, and downloaded mazout's kernel... so now i'm thinking of trying out the 3/1 "nightly" build of cm7 with mazout's 0323 kernel. i can't seem to find a known bugs list for cm7 on this phone. are there any known bugs?
does this build of cm7 have a "restart" option in the power menu? that is one of my pet peeves with the stock ROM. the only way i have found to restart the phone is to "power off" and then "power on". i think she would be more willing to restart the phone if it was an automated restart

Yes there is aa "reboot" option that comes up from holding the power button. Maz's 0323oc kernel is awesome. I wouldn't put the Max over 1015 and keep the minimum at 216. Known bugs.....for me the only bug i had was the phone would heat up pretty bad overnight while charging. It was instantly fixed by going into my development settings under applications and selecting the "keep awake" option while charging.

If you want to stay with stock just root it and install an app to give yourself access to either full reboot or a quick warm reboot from the home screen.

threw "fast reboot" on there to see how she likes it since it doesn't require root, works more like an app killer, but kills all in one press.
now, would i see any noticeable gains by using a custom kernel (stock voltage, no overclock)?

Yes, not an extreme amount but a definite yes. I know by experience with CM7 that mazout's stock voltage beta kernel was much better than the stock CM7 kernel. Those kernels are only for CM7 though. I do not have any experience with an upgraded kernel on my g2x while it was stock as I flashed CM7 and mazouts kernel right after.

[All around use.] You just showed us what a phone with no data signals and almost no use other then the odd screen wake [possibly texts/calls] the op explained he needed a ROM that takes minimal battery with most use, and being a girl I would imagine she's using social networking which requires WiFi or 3G/4G Please don't take what I'm saying as offensive, your information is very handy however it steers the op in the wrong direction as I'm sure his wife likes to use her phone as much as possible without being stuck to a charger. My girlfriend is currently using my old g2x and so far we've had the best luck with cm7 stable and the trinity kernel with slight under volt. What I would suggest the op do is maybe take a little research nightly on her battery drain, find out what she's using the most and go from there. Unfortunately because its not HIS phone, he's not going to witness distinction first hand and won't be able come to a easy conclusion, and it doesn't help that the g2x devs are stuck on GB, too many ports to keep interest and the search could take forever.
LETS KEEP PRAYING TMOBILE HASNT FORGOT US!
PS spawne32, when you did have your phone like the picture did that include battery apps or task killers? Or just straight up OS? Whenever I tried the ROM you suggested [it has been a while, maybe since updated.] I get screen wake issues and all kinds of battery drain.

To the op, also recommend to your wife the app called "screen filter" it has an option to lower the key brightness, there are a few of those apps out there but I only remember using that, one of the g2x sad but true battery drainers.

Similar issue - frequent reboots - please suggest ROMs, kernels, other solutions!
I have an LG Optimus G2X (P-999) running the original, unrooted, stock OS (android 2.3.4 "gingerbread", with the "old" bootloader and the baseband from March 2012).
Similar to the OP's wife's phone, mine is running slower and slower, frequently locks up, sometimes so badly that I need to remove the battery to restart it, and sometimes it just restarts itself. I've already tried uninstalling unused apps, clearing caches, moving apps to the SD card, etc. None of that seemed to noticeably help, and lately I need to restart it at least once every 24 hours.
(There are other annoyances too, like the way the GPS hangs and drops, and the battery life isn't great - although the battery may just be too old.)
I'm planning to root it and uninstall the bloatware as a first step, using the instructions I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050534
Then, I'm considering installing a custom ROM and/or kernel. (Most up-to-date list, I believe, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975934 )
Given the problems I'm having, do you think one or both will help? (If yes, do you have any specific recommendations for a ROM and/or kernel, or tips, or possible pitfalls I should avoid?) Are there other ideas I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
