I see. Updated original post.

New version of the beta out, looks much better but has some issues with swype

is there anywhere to get the app for android since the beta stopped working for everyone today

I have the newest version which is build #0.9.9.1 and it's got the shut down button to truly close the app finally lol but they took out the ability to use voice notes which was cool... kinda like what Palringo has!! hope they put it back! it's still in beta so im sure before it becomes final they'll polish it up good!!

I just Confirmed BeejiveIM is using C2DM(Google's Push notification Service)! My EVO's battery is crying with joy. I can now leave it running in the background with barely any battery drain! HOORAY!

Very very interesting. Do you have the apk?
Edit: Forget it. I got it. Where did you read that it was using a true push tech?

Uninstalled. 100% wake time. Oh well.

Reading ABD logcat at first, then I noticed it actually shows it when you're installing the app and it asks for permissions. "Allow app to use Cloud to Device Messaging" under Network use.
Also notice that when you open it, it takes a split second to "update" your buddy list(Unlike eBuddy,Trillian and all others), proving it wasn't doing anything in the background.
I wouldn't let the 100% uptime keep you from installing this app. I am literally online the whole day and have noticed no major impact on battery life.

can you PM the link or how to get the APK for the latest beta?

I dont see how the 100% wake time wouldn't have a negative effect on the battery. Its not letting the phone sleep. Isn't the purpose of push technology to let the app sleep in the background and only wake the app when there is data to be sent?

First of all, my phone does not keep a 100% wake time when using Beejive. Even if it did, you need to understand what your phone is actually doing and what Android reports as "Wake time". Android can report your phone as "awake" while using 0% cpu and 0% network--Draining the same exact amount or even LESS as if the phone was being reported as "asleep".
My point is: People take the awake time too seriously. It's there to help you understand what app might be draining your battery but absolutely does not mean your battery is being raped. The system is really complex so it can and it WILL sometimes report your phone as awake, even though it's not draining any battery at all.

Yes. But like I said, Android sometimes reports the phone as Awake just because the App is sitting there-While using 0% CPU and 0% Network -- The phone is effectively asleep. It's using a push connection, and when a message comes in it will use some cpu and some network--effectively waking up the phone, using some battery.

Looks like it's getting released on the market today!

I think I've reduced my reboots/screen-off crash

I'm sure I will still have reboots/issues like others because LG obviously knows of a bug in the phone BUT...in the meantime it appears I've reduced the reboots by uninstalling one bloody app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.widget.battery
I didn't use the widget but just the notification icon that shows battery %. I know this definitely has to have something to do with my earlier issues because prior to this I was getting freezes (screen is off and won't turn on without battery pull) and reboots quite frequently.
Since I uninstalled this junk, I've used the phone heavily and so far *KNOCK ON WOOD* it appears to be more stable.
Right now I'm sitting at 18h of uptime. Like I said, if I can get 4-5 days of uptime before a reboot I can live with it until a fix. But I can't have the thing reboot/freeze on me multiple times a day - that's not acceptable.

I'm using guage battery widget as I did on my Incredible without issue.

No no...I did. I UNinstalled the Battery Status - Donate. That was causing problems on my phone. Not sure where the confusion is. I linked it so people can see the exact app.

So no crashes today? Did you receive your replacement yet?

Just rebooted while sitting idle on desk with wifi on and wifi calling enabled. So after 25 hours which is not bad. Better than before. The hunt goes on.

That app does not come stock on the phone so I think we are wondering why you are telling us to uninstall something that none of us previously started with... uninstalling an app that is not even on my phone will not fix any reboot problems i might have lol
not that i have had any reboot problems anyway...

back light bleeding
ur back light bleeding is not an issue its something for u to ***** about. if u don't like it take it back or turn down the brightness. its not that bad unless u text in the dark with ur nose to screen which in that case you are a douche bag. sorry to be so harsh but u could have looked at a demo model before buying and *****ing it gets old. do ur research it is still a better screen than the samold line other than the deep blacks that they are very much ahead of the game in regards to that on the samold.

Google now?

I'm curious to know how many people are using Google now on their nexus s. I find it to be a huge battery drain so always turn it off. Do other users feel the same?

I use it regularly since the start, I have no noticeable battery drain.

I use it and don't mind it, I get around 2 days of battery with moderate use and some calls. Wi-fi is always on, localization services are always on, mobile data (3G) is always off. It lasts me more than one day even if I keep using the phone so I'm fine with it.
I would say it 'eats' 10 to 50% more battery per charge depending on usage. If you have it mostly in standby you are more likely to notice the battery hit. If you keep using the phone for one thing or another, it won't make much difference.
With 4.2.1 it seems to hold pretty well while being very snappy. The official 4.1.2 follows the same trend (lasting around 2 days with the same use), but I really liked how fast it got with Air Kernel. I usually have around 200 MB free.
I'm currently using Rasbeanjelly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028718) with Air Kernel #270 (CM,Voodoo Colors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469842) and noop+SmartAssV2 setup. So far battery seems to hold up fine through the day. The only real downside I got from this was the occasional sleep of death (while using the phone, very weird, I would report it to the maintainer but I can't as I'm new around here), a FC when accessing Chrome settings (seems to be related with google sync feature) and the less stellar performance when changing orientation (same kernel and official 4.1.2 ROM doesn't have the issue).
Although it is handy sometimes, I think the worst aspect is the 'nagging' that Google Now has. Last time I got a "WTF" expression was with it saying that I walked 40Km that month more 20 than the last month, a nice feature, but completely unexpected, I would like to have a proper access to that kind of cards and the information that they provide... If you search weather it won't give you the same weather card shown automatically by it (at least for me).... one of these says it will be ready to take over the world...

G next should do you pretty well

I find it useless. I have my weather app, and I have my lottery app. Hockey has been cancelled, so I have no scores to keep checking. What would I use it for? Random google search? Meh.

I hate every time I accidentally hit the search button.

I use Google Now because I'm fascinated by the creepiness of it. I like that when I'm at work, it tells me how long it will take me to get home if I leave now. I was confused when one Saturday at 11:45 am it was giving me the locations of nearby restaurants, then my wife said it's probably because it's almost lunch time. Google Now knows what I want before I do!
I haven't tried turning it off to save battery life yet, but I unplug from the charger at 6:30 am and plug in at midnight no problem.

thank God, I always hated that.
google now / voice search is miserable on the nexus s.

I've been using it since I got it and I like it. No noticeable battery drain as far as I'm concerned. Never used the search key in-app, so I don't miss it.

I use it every day because it is fantastic! I can get lots of information from it. I love it.

Ok. So I had previously disabled Google Now because it drained so much battery. But I was wanting to use it since the updates keep getting better so here's what I did to where it isn't destroying battery anymore.
I have Latitude and location updating turned off in Maps, but found out enabling Google Now turned location updating back on. So once you have Now enabled, go into Maps and uncheck where it says "Update my location from this device". It still works fine because I have location reporting (or something like that) turned on in Google sync in Settings. It still uses wifi and/or the towers to update your cards, but Maps isn't taking chunks out of the battery anymore.

I'd like to know how the heck you have around 200mb free and still have a functioning system... At most I can get is around 170mb free... But at that, the phone becomes unstable because I had to shut off some system apps...

Exchange Services uses 30% of battery in Kit Kat

it's been reported in the google product forums. Some are reporting battery drain, some having problems connecting to their exchange servers( authentication fails). Other (me included on this) Exchange connects, but push mail is erratic. Also, items read on the phone do not get marked read on the server.
In the mean time, I am using touchdown from the play store (30 day trial) hoping that google will get it sorted. Using touchdown, the battery drain is gone, and push mail works flawlessly...
Frankly, it's the only thing that is bugging me on this phone. I shouldn't have to go to a third party for a solution....

Agreed thanks for the word I thought I was crazy.. I'll try touchdown.. I have 3 exchange accounts so my phone never really gets a rest the way it is now. I hope they fix this asap.

Actually, I switched to Touchdown on my Nexus 4 running Jelly Bean 4.3 because Exchange Services absolutely killed my battery. Tried everything I could find to fix it, and never could. And from the searches I did at the time I wasn't alone.
So far, Exchange Services is behaving on my Nexus 5, but I'm concerned to see that the problem could come back.

Funny i disabled the contacts portion of the exchange sync on 3 of my 4 exchange accounts and i DO NOT see this big battery hit anymore. must have been a glitch, i will be watching it closely now..

I use touchdown. No issues with battery.
Plus it keeps your email encrypted which is kind of important for most companies.

Your exchange account is set to push, right?
Go to settings > corporate
Its flicking between syncing and last updated, right? I think its syncing every other second, which is whats draining the battery. I just turned off the sync for that until they release a fix

Ditto for battery drain issues. I hadn't noticed it as much until today where after 3 hours my battery had dropped 40% and I wasn't even using it. Checked and it was due to exchange services.
I wont go with a third party solution so hopefully this gets fixed soon.

I haven't had any issues with enhanced email either

I'm 100% certain it's some app or process that's running your battery down.
Facebook and Facebook messenger are awful on battery. I normally use xda(legacy) app but tried this newer one and found it eats my battery (sorry guys).
Look at your battery usage (settings/battery) and make a note of who is using what.
Greenify works wonders.
L Speed also works great as an all around tool (read up on it)
Most of us are starting to measure our battery life in X hours SOT or screen on time. You can have 1k hours of battery life but if aren't using your device that doesn't really count.
My daughter has issues with all those silly messaging apps the kids are using now. They chew on your battery all day.
Check your battery usage. That should point in the right direction.

See how much just this xda app has used in over 2 hours. I opened the app to respond earlier to this thread and that's it.

The new XDA App is also a market. I see your Google Services is high at 13% also. I am guessing you have a few updates pending. I wish Google would fix that drain rather than force us to update apps to get rid of it. So my guess is the new XDA app is checking for updates as soon as you open it and causing all that usage.

Possibly. The newer app consistently logs me out. And although it's very pretty, it seems to be all over the place. I think the "help us better..." part of the app is also a culprit.
I will say the newer xda does a better job of notifying me on mentions and quotes.
