Hello, Just thought I would post my stats using the new Starburst rom with Pershoot's Kernel. Getting great speed and the system runs very smooth but it feels like my battery is draining quite abit faster...
I have setcpu set as "OnDemand" 300mhz-1400, 256mhz when screen is off. Is this battery drain normal? Ran for 4 hours idle while working, then during break i used my tablet for about 15 min, idle another 4 hours and then after work I only got about 2 1/2 hours of use from my tablet before getting the 15% battery warning (79% to 15% in two and a half hours).
Before installing any TW rom and using Pershoot's older (non-TW) kernel with same settings I was getting atleast 4 hours after having the system idle all day while i work (10 hrs), this was with about 40%+ battery left to spare. Please take a look at my stats and feel free to give any suggestions to help me get more battery
The performance now is very good, but before TW i was getting about 150 less points in quadrant (2950ish)with the extra battery life. Also i dont let any apps run wild while idle and have gps,bluetooth,wifi turned off during working hours.
Quadrant Score, Starburst TW + Pershoot's Kernel Aug/9/2011 builds (score:3100).

Battery Stats, notice the steep drop at the end? Thats the only time I really used my tablet... about 2 1/2 hours, web surfing (14 hours 35min total on battery).

why is your screen on and awake bar completely full if you only used it for the last 2:30?
In GENERAL
Screen on time 8-10 hours
Standby time ~100-500 hours depending on whats on/apps installed.
No idea why it says the screen was on, it was not... And I had the unit on but as far as i know there isn't a sleep option so the unit was awake but not being used.
If you know of a sleep option please let me know, thanks for your reply
Yeah I'm still testing this exact rom/kernel combo and there is something up with it.
On a reboot, does the battery level go up? Does it stay up for a little while then drop back down?
Also have you done a battery calibration? If so, how?
I'm just trying to narrow down what could be causing the problem. I'm no dev by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason I really want to find out what is causing this. It doesnt seem to affect all machines so in finding the simularities of those that are having this issue, we can squash this bug....
I was using this combo and my google music kept force closing.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
it should goto sleep automatically, and if screen was off it should be indicated as off. maybe something is wrong. im currently on pershoot's kernel as well and have had some issues with battery calibration (reporting bogus stats).
i think pershoot is looking into the issues on his thread.
im using 10.1-Wifi, Touchwiz UX (OTA, GT-P7510)
It's a kernel problem. Try going back to stock or an older version of pershoots.
It'll be fixed today from what I've read.
Late last night reinstalled Starburst with its original rom, after my 10 hour work day it still has 95% battery left (after some galaxy on fire 2 during my break), hella lot better than it was yesterday.
I will wait for Pershoot's revised kernel and test it out again. And thanks again for all the devs making custom roms and kernels! Much love to ya! <3
*Stock Starburst kernel is showing my screen being off (when it is off) and my system as not awake when screen is off under battery usage in settings

From what I've read, he claims there is no problem with the kernel, the problem is with the user. We havent calibrated the battery correctly according to pershoot himself. Problem is, I cant figure out the secret to a correct calibration process....

Flash Starburst or stock rom then charge your tablet 100%, once your battery is fully charged flash Pershoot's kernel.
I have not tried this myself but from what I have read it works, right now im happy with the performance on stock Starburst kernel, quadrant is at 2300 compared to Pershoot's 3100 but its running so smooth I cannot notice the difference. Going to wait for Pershoot's reworked kernel and then flash it, I gots to have my voodoo!
Update:
Today I reset my battery, and installed Pershoot's kernel. I'm still getting battery drain, used for 5 min this morning and its down to 80% (just browsing web)... Also my clock got stuck at around 5:08am and my alarm did not work this morning until i turned my screen on. After I installed Pershoots kernel alot of apps were acting up and not running properly but after a reboot my clock and apps started working as normal.
And I have to hit/hold the power button like 5 times to turn on the unit now. Going back to original Starburst for now.

Darn. I was just about to give this a try. Oh well I'll try it anyways, nothing to lose. Just remember all the issues that may or may not be caused by the kernel is actually user error
Did anyone try the newest version of the kernel? Posted 19/aug/2011.

I'm using it now & it's a very good finish product. His last version gave me battery issues like no other. I believe he withdrew it after numerous complaints over battery issues.
Working great.
I always wipe Dalvik and Cache before flashing the new kernel.

hi folks
im using a rom that i love and is the best i´ve tried.WajkIUI 1.12.16 ICS
but i have a consern and is about the phone heat.
this rom is overclocked this way :
350 / 30
700 / 40
1100/60
i want to know if it is normal that the phone gets hot most of the time when im web browsing and making calls. maybe its a baseband or overclock issue.
some times i get 45-50 C and my phone is on FIRE
when i was on CM7 RC1.5 i never have this heat problem.
so if anyone can give some advise that will be great
thanks and sorry for my english
mine using latest WajkIUI version, its totally stable and the battery percentage usage is really great.
heat normally around 32 c.
Install the battery monitor and see what is using your battery, i know that wiui consumes more battery than CM7, but i think 45º isn't common
I had a similar situation after flashing CM9 ICS. The phone went hot (also when in standby) with actually no obviouse reason (battery life was also only a few hours). Back then, after reflashing and whiping of cache and dalvik cache the problem disapeared.
I'm not sure if reflashing is needed, but if anything else fails I would give it a try.

Hi you can read an article here :
http://androidunderground.blogspot.com/2011/05/setvsel-overclock-and-undervolt-your.html
its regarding overclocking & undervolting.. may 1100/60 is a problematic figure ..!! u can try to make it little lower ..! hope it works..!!

Hey, my setup is like this,
300/25
600/35
800/45
and so set in my mind, very energy efficient, I use the version CM7.2, Chinese optimize the modified version. My phone model is mb526, that is, mb525 +, BL = 6, do not know your phone is practical

Hi,
I do not have enough posts to place this in the developer forum. However I update my Defy with each nightly build and since the 2nd boot nightlies I too have experienced really poor battery drain. I have fixed this by disabling two features in Google Maps.
Go to: system settings--> Google-->Maps and Latitude
Disable both location reporting and enable location history.
Instantly my battery has gone back to previous performance and after 17 hours I have 79% left. Previously this would have been less than 30%.
some people will not like this and it disables google now (actually make sure google now is also off) but if you want better battery life over these features this works for me.
I did the same and the battery consumption is reduced.
But using Better Battery Stats app I found out that my device won't go to sleep because of my WiFi. Wlan_rx_wake is always running. Is it the same for you ? Is there anyway to switch off WiFi automatically.
My config is same as yours.

No problem and thanks for the stuff in dev forum. This is post number 2 so maybe 8 more I'll be able to do it myself. There is still something else going on as I get occasional battery drain. My latest theory is around the method in wich you charge the defy or airplane mode itself. The last time I charged the defy from my pc via USB and I had amazing battery life and used 12% in 8 hours with some text and data and driving I.e. no wifi. Then it went to airplane mode and the next day the battery drain was significantly worse. So either USB charging is better than wall charger for some odd reason or airplane mode triggers some battery heavy process that never dies. I can't see this in the battery stats other than phone idle and screen. Turning off phone does not resolve either.
I'm continuing to investigate optios but my last full charge got 36 hours and had 19% left before I charged.

First of all, thanks for your findings!
I think that I found a workaround for the "something else going on" on the FAQ thread in a post by -=lov=- under http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33159734&postcount=389.
Since I too am not able to post in the dev section yet, I posted myself in the FAQ thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33223114&postcount=398), asking that somebody gives a hint to -=lov=-'s workaround in the dev thread so that Quarx and the others can take notice.
Because I find this workaround important for everybody using the current custom kernel, I copy/paste my post from the FAQ threat to here too:
-=lov=- said:
If someone has battery drain in sleep mode, you can try to do this steps:
1. Reboot phone. Wait for 10-15 minutes.
3. Insert the USB - nothing happens on the phone. (Notifications Debugging and connect via USB does not appear).
4. Take out the USB.
5. Reconnect USB wait minute or so.
6. Take out the USB.
Now device should sleep correctly.

This is a really great workaround against battery drain in sleep mode! :good: :good: :good:
This method works very well for me and is always reproducable!
Before I had about 45 mA/h (2,5 %/h) while deepsleep during day (with 3G on) and about 30 mA/h (1,8 %/h) while deepsleep during night (by using JuiceDefender app, 3G and WIFI are off most of the time).
After appliing this method (which unfortunately has to be done after every reboot), i have just about 25 mA/h (1,5 %/h) while deepsleep during day and about 8 mA/h (0,5 %/h) while deepsleep during night, which are similar to the good numbers I had under Gingerbread.
BTW, using KSM, zRam and Swap don't influence battery drain, at least not significantly, in my experience. I got the above mentioned drains with KSM and zRAM enabled!
However, disabling "settings > location > access to my location" and "google > maps and latitude" options, as posted a couple of times on the development thread, *does* have some impact on battery drain, so I keep these options disabled.
I'm reading the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 for a couple of weeks now and unfortunately it seems that they haven't taken notice of -=lov=-'s great finding yet. I think that there is something about the USB drivers not properly initialized in the Custom Kernels yet, which leads to the much discussed battery drains. I'm quite sure that this should be fixable by Quarx.
Unfortunately, I cannot post in the development thread yet (actually this is my very first post because I found this topic this so important).
Therefore I would like to ask somebody on this FAQ thread to try this method himself and give a hint
on the development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702, so that the
developers and especially Quarx can take notice and finally fix the battery drain caused by the USB driver
bug (or whatever it is). :fingers-crossed: :highfive: :victory:
Thank you for your support!

Hi @frpriot,
thanks a lot for forwarding the link so quickly to the dev thread! :highfive:
So far there hasn't been a direct response to the USB drivers issue (besides 1 or 2 thanks), but as always there are a lot of issues talked about on this main dev thread at the same time...
So let's wait and hope that the right people pick this issue up! If this shouldn't happen, it might be a good idea to give a hint in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908687 too, since Quarx seems to take part actively there himself. Could you in this case post there too? (I'm now still missing 7 posts to reach the magic 10 first posts... )
BTW, there already are some positive responses to the described workaround in a German forum at http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...el-jb-defy-update-11-10-a-18.html#post4325150 ff.

I had a similar problem some time ago, with the phone connected to my home wifi network it would have unusual awake times, draining the battery very quickly.
I found out using the Network Log app (it's in the Play Store) that something on my network keep sending broadcast packets, that the phone would respond, thus the wifi wakelock.
That something was the NetBios name discovery service, enabled by default on Windows, but hardly used anymore, at least on home networks, turning it off solved the issue for me.

Thanks for this post. I have just plugged phone into USB attached to PC for 30 seconds. After only 10 minutes I can see the battery life has improved. See attached screenshot.Just after plugging in USB the battery stops draining at the same rate and the % has stayed the same.
Something gets triggered when the USB cable gets connected that stops the battery draining. I wonder if by charging the phone via the wall charger their is a process triggered that does not get killed when the phone is fully charged. By connecting to USB the process gets killed "nicely" at disconnect?
Hey I am currently on JB build 18.10.12 having 4.1.2 and the same kernel on which I had previously flashed 24.09.12 which had 4.1.1.
I am a begginer in this and have read a lot of posts before. But this particular thread has interested me more . Thanks for that but I still facing
1. Battery drain issues.
2. Battery doesn't charge beyond 79%
3. 2G toggle also doesn't work as soon as I switch it on it just says no network found.
The ROM is really good.. love the interface, hats off to those who did it..
Please can someone help me in this..
If u want any logs or screen shot will be posting it.

Hi,
Your kernel is not up to date...
First you should flash last update (update_for_18.10_v3.zip). You can d/l it on Quarx's ftp! After that you will probably have less issues !
Just try it and feedback.
Enjoy !

Is 2g mode works if you select it in network parameters ?
Did you try a clean install ?

@fpriot said:

Yeah i did clean install it.
and i did try in the settings menu to use 2G always option.. it didnt work out.
well i will innumerate the steps i did -
1. after rooting my device i installed the CWM available on the JB thread 4.1.2
2. Switched off the device and charged it to 100%
3. Took out the battery went into recovery mode and reset and erased everything and erased the cache and dalvic too
and flashed the rom 18.10.2012
4. Upon which i flashed the V3 update as advised and then
5. lastly installed the gapps for JB
6. booted it up...
so far no isssues such as rebooting / loops, camera, wifi, etc with the rom except a few problems..its smooth
1. Always gets heated up when put on charge and talk at the same time or use it (which i think its normal i dont really know)
2. 2G still doesnt work..
3. Battery better after V3 update but not that much as before.. lasts a full day on conservable use.. wifi 3g 3-4 hours max but lasts a day
4. And lastly when put on charge again doesnt charge above 82%
dont know which step have i missed.. :/
love the rom though
Can you suggest me another rom which is as stable as this but with awesome battery life.. i also used a Samsung tab 2 a month back of my brothers it lasted about two days on moderate use.. wifi, 3g, music, games , everything..
thanks a lot ..

I don't understand why it doesn't work..For me it works perfectly..I have a Defy green lens with last 1018 rom + v4 update...
Perhaps your bootloader version could be the culprit ? Don't know...
For battery drain issue, perhpas your battery is worn ?
For 2G issue, is it working with another rom ?
I advise you to have a look on FAQ section...
I can't suggest you another CM10 rom, i don't know another good ones...
Did you try CM7 stable roms? If yes, have you got the sames issues?

Okay .. I installed another custom ROM.. over which I installed CW10
Let's see how it goes this time...
Okay the 2G still doesn't work..
Rest will have to find out...

Is there a difference between 24.09 and 18.10 other than 18.10 is better and newer..
What exactly is a 2nd boot..
how exactly is it different from other nightlys ?
May be I am installing this ROM wrong..
Just guessing.. I read the FAQs nothing that I could find could help me

18.10 is not just better and newer. It's way better. No lags. With v4, really good battery life. If your battery is not charging above 84, then take off the battery and wipe battery stats. Then you'll be good to go!

I opening this thread especially for discuss AOKP nightlies, not for Milestone. I did not find separated thread here in XDA for nightly versions of AOKP. I think AOKP deserves a thread here.
To keep clean the AOKP Milestone thread, I suggest to post here any aokp nightly related issue/question.
If you want to post here, please do not forget to report which nightly version you are using currently. In this way I guess we can help each others more efficiently.
Latest nightlies can be found on AOKP website.
About battery time
We was discussed about battery times about nightlies on AOKP Milestone thread. I guess we can continue here as first discuss.
Please send your statistic and your opinion also about your battery time with your current nightly.
AOKP 2013-06-15
Drains the battery under Process "Android OS" about 2-3% / hour that I think too much in idle.
Even if I use my phone, (I mean screen is on) Process: "Android OS" always eats more battery than screen.. I guess its not normal.
AOKP Milestone 1
2% / 8hours in idle - My best results so far..
You can post here your results, please don't forget to tell your version, because its important.

obviously milestone version will be better than nightlies.
i plan to flash back milestone one. since i dont use the new things in the nightlies.
the only think i notice to be different is the auto brightness customization and the ribbon.
the android OS drain is too high.

I created this thread directly beside the AOKP milestone that actually here. I see in this section many another roms also. Why is AOKP not a custom rom? Sorry I don't realy understand. If AOKP Milestone is here, why not right this section for the AOKP nightlies?
If i started this thread in a bad section, I'd like to ask some administrator to move this thread to the right place if possible.
Sorry/thanks

Hi Guys
Strange things just happened.
Im still on nightly with my phone. i have some battery drain by android OS.
BUT
on my nexus the milestone version runs. Its already works good more than a month. Yesterday i noticed the same thing. Android OS drains the battery, more than the screen itself.
I started to find applications that can drain the battery through android os.
No luck. Im sure its not any installed application from playstore.
It must be the Google Apps itselt that the same on my both device.. Between gapps im sure 'currents' is a big battery killer. first i uninstalled and got better result, but still androis os drains the batteries on my both device.. Im pretty sure they are updating themselves without any question. so this battety drain not comes with aokp nightlies, but google apps. and that more frightening: together android os battery drain i noticed mediaserver also works even if i dont watch any video and my phone is muted.... what if google spying on us??? very strange.. I'll try to use my tablet without any connection, just for a test...
Android OS secrvice alway was around 2-5% from a full battery.. even if the device is idle!!!
do you guys experiencing the same behaviour by android os??

This threads offends me. I have taken time to create an aosp roms dicussion thread for discussing all aosp roms, yet you fail to utilize the search function to see if previous thread already exist and open a thread like this. I also posted a link to my thread post #7 which you disregarded. Here it is again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176223
Mods, please leave this thread here. We need a place to discuss the nightlies.

My grand grandfather was an astronaut!
Good news!
I did find the problems!
its about google apps....
i uninstalled google currents
and disabld everything in the location settings.
now my battery drain stopped!
in the last 6 hours of idle, drained only 1%!
it seems much better now.
Im still on 06-15 niggtly.
Same thing solved my problem on nexus 7.
So I guess this battery drain not come from any aokp build! If you want, you can install back the latest nightly (imo same stable like milestone was, however i dont use the built in lock screen and i saw peoples having problem with it.).
good luck!

Hi, I have high android OS usage even though I clean install the milestone one.
Like u said, the android OS usage is always Slightly higher than screen usage.
Better batter stats doesn't show any partial or kernel wake lock.
I suspect it may be the auto brightness.
I have mine completely customized to my own values.
Maybe it's causing the phone to constant check the light sensor.
I have disable the auto brightness and will check how it behaves.
hi
on my device auto brightness fully disabled i using constant 1% brightness because i alwasys inside... I think you dont need to affraid because of that.
i guess its google apps
go to application and check google services thats already updated. you can delete update.. so i think google services can change in the background.
i also started use better battery stats. i'll let you know if i have some news.
bye

Recently came over from CM, needed more customization. AOKP has been great, but has a couple of weird bugs on my device. Most notably, occasionally the multitasking pane has no quit all button. However, all I have to do is leave and immediately reopen the multitasking. Doesn't affect much, but still a minor annoyance. Still, having a blast playing around with all the customization, I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.

I had the opposite experience. I tried cyanogen mod yesterday.
And was underwhelmed by the lack of things in cm. it lose to aokp in so many ways.
But there are 2 things cm does better than aokp, the torch toggle that leaves a notification in the status bar to be turn off.
And remap volume button to control media volume instead of ringer volume.
The multitasking plane has a kill all button if you enable it in rom settings under general.
I do not face bug where it randomly disappear. If issue persist, you could try reinstall rom.
Fast summary about battery drain problem
After I did try different variations of roms and modem versions (basebands), I must say that: nothing is draining the battery because of AOKP, just looks like...
I feel my battery keeps a little longer with XXELLA baseband than XXEMC2.
In my opinion it's just a bad battery statistics that misleading us.. Somehow in the battery log "Android Os" almost always comming up to the first place, even if that is impossible and not logical.
Just for an example:
Charge up your phone to 100%, then do not switch off your phone.
Switch off everything that can eat extra battery (bluetooth, wifi, mobile data, nfc, gps)
Try to watch movie from your sd card or do anything to drain your battery to approx. 80%.
You will see in the battery log: Screen or/and media is the biggest consumer of the battery.
Leave your phone in idle for 6-8 hours long, then check again the battery log.
Probably your battery losts another 1-2%, but Android OS will be the bigger consumer again, thats logically not possible...
If the battery lost 20% because of the screen, and another 1-2% because of idle: Android OS can not come above the screen time with total 1-2% of consumption.. So its false, we dont need to talking about. Its a battery log bug. I guess the very high numbers of kernel wakelocks mislead the calculations of the battery stat. I also noticed that my screen time changed to less. Certain parts of the battery log was missing or/and incorrect: I did not see screen in the list two times, and once I did see bluetooth as bigger consumer (wih 68 hours!!!) even if i did not use any bluetooth connection. I did try battery calibration - not helps.
Any Nightly version of AKOP don't eats more battery than Milestone!!!
6-16 Nightly is stable on my device, no random restarts or any malfunction, superuser works better, camera bug also fixed
Only thing that I noticed as difference is between basebands:
On my device XXELLA eats less battery [0,25%/hour] in idle, than XXEMC2 [up to ~1,25%/hour - variable sometimes less]
I living in the European Union, so I can't suggest to everyone to use the mentioned version of baseband, But if you notice more battery consumption in idle, good idea to try another (maybe older) baseband version that suggested in your area.
Headphone Volume/Distortion fix
If someone is noticed that: AOKP's headphone output much louder(and distorted) than Originally SGS3 with stock rom, Here is a quckfix:
Use any root explorer (I did use AntTek Explorer - works good and free), make sure it has root privileges.
Go to: System>etc >sound where is a file located, m0
Open the file for edit
Search the section that starts <device name="headphone">
In this section you will see another two row:
<ctl name="Left Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>
<ctl name="Right Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>
Set the values from 7 to 4
Save the file
Restart your phone
For me personally not necessary to pumping out my brain with headphones, so I rather need quality sound than high volume. I always using Poweramp and after the change I noticed: I can boost more bass and treble without distorting the sound...
Overally I'm not satisfied with the sound quality of s3 (my old galaxy nexus was much better imo), but with this settings, sounds much better for my ears... If someone is more audiofil, just like me: I suggest to try this settings.
howdy ya'll
Like most people I've been here a few years lurkin, but now have a problem I can't fix and so signed up for some help
I've installed vrtoxin rom 3.0 (android 6.0 marshmellow) and I am getting appauling battery life
I've done a complete wipe and just installed the ROM itself (no Gapps) for troubleshooting.
I'l get about 5 hours of battery life (not screen time, actuall just sitting there going flat battery life) a quick look into the battery stats and it says the "android system" is keeping it awake
here have some screen shots for references... I've done some searching on the vrtoxin page but no one else seems to be having this problem (or my searching skills are sub par)
any help will be apreciated and thank you in advance for your time, I really really REALLY love this rom, but I want to figure out what wakelock is stopping it from going to sleep.
sorry according to xda, im not allowed to share external photo links as I havent done 10 posts or something....... soooo thats helpfull. I will post them up after I have donme 10 posts I guess.......
hmmmmm interesting,
Ive installed AICP (android 5.1.1) and it seems to be doing the same thing, could this be a hardware issue?
before installation I did a full wipe (data, system , cache)
and its doing the same thing, battery is going down at an alarming rate (about 30% and hour with no on screen time)
these both use different kernels but I might try flash a custom kernel and see what happens
Anyone got any suggestions?
Try an app like this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en_GB
CM13 is a nice MM ROM too with good battery life as an alternative ROM
If Android system is the problem and not an app, it's likely the ROM itself, custom ROMs often have worse battery life
Check the CPU is throttling down, and the governor is not set to performance where it keeps the CPU @ max clocks all the time
