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)
link
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

Yeah, me too! Try another ROM. I am currently using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v10 HYBRID and getting superb battery life (and performance, mind you ).

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

I used this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445621 and installed:

Official factory fastboot images, must be flashed using fastboot on an unlocked bootloader. Contains recovery, radio, and bootloader.
THESE IMAGES MUST BE FLASHED USING BOOTLOADER VERSION I9020XXKA3
I can't really be more fresh than this. I'll try messing around with her settings, but if it doesn't get better, I'll just flash her the latest CM9 nightly
Check your battery usage, if Android OS is using more than 8-9% after some regular usage, then that's the cause.

Ehhhmmmm... My Android OS usage is always around ~20%, but my battery still lasts ~15 hours. Heavy usage. Are you telling me that it should last even longer?
Anyway, AMOLED screen or sLCD?

Her Android OS is normal...I really don't understand why it's that bad. I'll try doing a full battery cycle.
Updated form 2.3.6 stock to 4.0.4
OTA and battery usage is still OK. Lasts about 1-1.5 days. Permanent Wifi or 3g, internetusage and some gaming-No probs!!!

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...

Check apps like news and weather too. My news and weather app really acted up after my ics update and wouldn't stop pulling data. I had to shut off any automatic updating with that app and it fixed my issue. It might have been temporary but just check your apps.

Alright thank you I'll check those out.
Try Badass Battery monitor . it will give you some good info on whats using your battery. Gives you a % of app usage
Look in play store

OMG thank you, I didn't notice that. Maybe I can get even better battery performance now it was set to update every 1 hour, so it may be not much, but even 1% is good for me!
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.

Wait a sec... that's not normal for me
Do you use 3G to connect to the internet? Never got more than 20 hours on 3G/HSDPA... without even using the phone!
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 ?

Check your APNs. But they should have come off the simcard when you updated.

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
Just wondering if anyone has had bad battery life while running KitKat on their gs3.
I get about 7 hours. Used to get around 11-12 with moderate usage with 4.2.
Anyone running a custom kernel?
Open to input and suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You won't be able to run a custom kernel if you have a locked bootloader. I've been running AOSP based KitKat roms for months since I never took an official update, and 14 hours is usually a non-issue.
I used to get 12-15 hours on 4.3 now with KK4.4.2 I get about 7-9 hours now. It's definitely a battery drain! I even replaced my battery and still doesn't help.
Have you tried a factory reset after taking the update?
Sorry I didn't mention this. I am rooted and I have flashed a custom ROM. Carbon to be exact.

Im stock and Verizon did a complete wipe of the phone and loaded 4.4.2 right to my phone. Didn't make a difference. They are claiming it's hardware but I don't believe that especially since I'm out of warranty.
Oh, that makes a huge difference. Look for Steve Spencer on Google+. I'm running his latest CM11+ build and getting ridiculous standby time.

People reading this can't use aosp, no cm11 unfortunately.
Anyone tried switching to ART runtime? Might not notice anything, but in theory it should save some battery with how the runtime operates. Switch to it, then let it settle for a few days and see if you notice a difference. It'll definitely boost performance.

OK so I've been using the Shield Tablet for about 6 months now, and the one thing that drives me crazy with it is the occasional freezes for up to 30 seconds or more sometimes! It happened on my pre-recall Tablet, it happens on my post-recall Tablet. It happened %100 stock, it happened rooted with stock rom, it happens rooted with stock rom and Bit-O kernel.
I know WHAT causes the freezes, I just don't understand WHY... The cause is that every single time my tablets ram usage get to the point where I only have around 300mb of free ram let, it starts freezing. When it gets down to around only 250mb free, it freezes like CRAZY and for long periods.
Does anyone know why this is or what can be done about it?
Are you on the latest 3.1 OTA? I've never experienced any lag on this version, but have had occasional lags on older firmware. I'm running stock 3.1, not even a modified kernel.

Yup I'm on stock rooted 3.1 with Bit-O kernel. But it has done it on all OS versions, stock and non stock kernel, and even on both tablets (pre and post recall). I've got a ram usage overlay on screen at all times to monitor ram usage, and every single time the free ram hits 300mb or lower it freezes like crazy.
Hello all,
It seems like my phone's battery is draining more than it should and I am not sure of the reason why it is. I updated the phone to the most recent update so I am on version 7.1.2.
I've noticed this too today in particular. 100% to 20% in 4 hours. With fairly light usage.
I'm on the 8.0 beta though.
I went from the Beta back to stock but have noticed significant drain over the past week or two and I'm completely stock on 7.1.2, build NJH47B.
Son has the Pixel XL and he's seeing the same thing, anyone have a clue or just a weird coincidence?!
Same issue here, on 7.1.2 , June update. Did a complete wipe, installed w/ magisk and elementalx kernel (no custom settings). Get the impression it's a problem with 7.1.2. i use my phone for work, and this only started happening recently.
I too have this on Android 8, if this is happening on nougat too, it could be a framwork bug or app causing this.
