Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!
Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.
Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.
I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

I am currently using the stock ROM but could change to a custom... (I am learning as I go at the moment...)
Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.
Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?
Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.
And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread.

No, I do not undervolt. The only changes I made were to gamma settings. Having said that I did change the power setting but changed it back. I have rebooted the phone so I will see if it happens after the next deep sleep.
Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated!

I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.

I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...

Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...
I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...
I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -
The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.
Will see how it goes....
I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.
Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...
I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....

My brother and I both got Fascinates this month. Both are rooted, but only mine is upgraded to DJ05. We are both loving the phone except, both of us have a problem where the screen/phone will not wake up from sleep sometimes. It will just show a black screen, it even happened while talking on the phone today, the screen didn't wake when I got off the phone. I've done a few searches and on some other phones people suggested setting SetCP to at least one higher then the minimum when it's in screen off mode, but I just tried that and had the same issue 5 minutes later. With all the development going on, I'm hoping that someone may have found a fix for it. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? I apologize if there is another thread in the fascinate forum about this, I did a few searches, but didn't see anything.
Thanks,
Ryan
You could help yourself by stating what rom version and what specific kernel you are using. And if you are using a task killer and or power managment app.
good day.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. We are both rooted, but my brother is otherwise running stock. No task manager, just Setcpu. I upgraded to DJ05 and installed JTs Superclean w/non voodoo and rom. But I wouldn't think that'd be the problem considering he's running stock. Maybe it's setcpu? If so is their another comparable manager for battery life that someone might suggest, I can see if that fixes it?
Setcpu offers no benefit to devices using a stock kernel only good for over clocked kernels. If the problem at hand didn't start until installing setcpu, then you have your answer. I myself do not use any power management apps so I can't speak for them.
good day.
Did you by any chance install something that adjusts the brightness of your screen?
If your running Setcpu and your having problems waking up the phone, are you running a profile for the screen off? You can't run profiles on Sammy phones, they don't like it.
No, no brightness apps.
Yes, I was running a profile for screen off and stuff. That was the whole point of Setcpu, I thought, so you could reduce it when the battery started getting low and the phone wasn't being used. Thanks for the info, I uninstalled it. I guess that's the problem. Only time will tell though. Do you know of any other reputable apps that would be similar to Setcpu?
Why not try geeks last kernel? I believe it was uv and should help battery life if that's what you're going for.
I would, but people have had some issues with them from what I hear, besides he's no longer developing them or supporting them, so sooner or later I'd be changing anyway. Maybe I'll check out juice defender.
You can keep setcpu, just don't use any profiles lol and keep it on conservative
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Does it actually do anything for you though to help save battery life without the profiles?
Just because he isn't deving for the sf doesnt mean that his kernels are worse than the stock one...I use adryn's 12/17 test 2 and get amazing battery life..14 hrs at like 60-65% but it's voodoo and you will prob not want that.
setcpu will change the ramp up/ramp down speed...more time at max when you need it more time at min when you dont...i don't think it will help nearly as much as proper kernel
This research is completly based on previous posts here on xda by other members + based on my testing:
1. Get app CpuSpy from the market. Observe with it if your phone goes to "deep sleep" or not.
2. If you see your phone doesn't enter deep sleep, go to Applications, Battery use and close all applications like default Email app (that caused my phone to constantly use ~245Mhz of my CPU when idle), also check your widgets for various weather updates, ...
3. Apply latest franco kernel (with my experience, this kernel also improved my battery life)
4. Make sure you have turned off in Settings, Date & Time, "Automatic".
5. Disable data transfer under Wireless & Networks.
6. Set Brightness level to Automatic as screen drains the battery alot.
7. Apply the custom roms provided here (MIUI, Oxygen) which are based on Gingerbread (2.3), which also has better battery usage than FroYo (2.2), especialy on U8800.
Hope this helps for some people here

only the data connection otherwise ur right as hell
THE BIGGEST impact on battery life is as you all may know- DISPLAY. You can disable everything, but those things only takes 20-30% of battery everything else is for display. So.. turn ir off D Its very bad that all roms allows you only to minimize brightness to 11% but i want to minimize it even more, but they do not allow me. cause at nights 11% is too bright for me.
I even thinking to compile my own modified franco kernel just because of that DD But with MIUI rom it shows bull**** in battery usage.

AFAIK no. Franco stated that his kernel only works with 2.3 ROM. The stock one is 2.2.
Hello everyone...
I have 2 issues with my Transformer
the first one is that whenever i leave my Transformer for couple hours it shuts down !! doesn't occur when charging but it does when it's not.. even when the battery is around 80% !! i had this problem with ALL kernels except the stock kernel which i don't wanna use !! also had this problem for around 2 months...
the second one happened today when i left my Transformer "Charged" at 100%.. and after couple of hours i found it shut down but when i powered it on again i found the battery 27% !!
i went to the battery stats and found that battery was decreasing slowly and there was a gap (which means that it turned off) and after the gap it shows the battery low !! it happened within 6 hours !!
Please help me if you can... !! I'm using Revolver ROM 3.9.5 and "Blades Kernel 3" that comes in the Revolver Parts...
UPDATE : The problem occurs with the stock kernel !!
This sounds very familiar to the problem I had with my Galaxy S2 a month ago.
It kept shutting down every few hours, and it was driving me mad. Then one day I uninstalled the app greenpower, and it was fine afterwards. You don't have the greenpower app by any chance? If not, maybe it can be caused by some other app you normally use?
The battery might be hosed. Have you ever let it hit 0 before? A lot of batteries never fully recover after being fully depleted once or twice.

No i never let it hit 0%... but i don't think that the problem is in the battery
However I'll try it and see what happens !
sounds like a silly question but i have seen it alot. Are you charging through a computer(USB) or wall?
It could be related to setCPU and the according profiles. Just recently I saw that my profiles were messed up after updating ROM and kernel. Might be worth a shot.
Reinstall stock kernel Issue #1 fixed.
Issue 2 sounds like charger shut off and left TF on not charging.
You've pretty much explained to yourself why the thing is shutting down.. It works fine on the stock kernel but not one that is letting you overclock.. Sounds to me like you are either overclocking more than it can handle or undervolting to much or both.
I can almost bet that its not shutting down completely and its just going into a state that the screen is off but the OS is hung up, so its not responding to you turning the screen on.. This would explain why the battery seems to be dieing when its sitting idle.
Not sure about it dieing while its plugged in other than maybe a fluke.
I don't wanna use the stock kernel.. it's really slow !!
and i over clock to 1.4 ghz only since i can't overclock more than that because it restarts itself endlessly if i overclocked more than 1.4 ghz !! i undervolted about -25 or -50.. not much !!
Yes i charge it on a wall or anything but NOT on my computer...
How can i change profiles in setcpu ??

No no you misunderstood! DONT let the battery hit 0.
First, you need to use more exclamation points !!!!
sounds like you are suffering from deep sleep issues. What rom are you running? also, have you tried running a custom kernel and not overclock it? You have several variables that can be influencing your issues, start isolating what may be causing your problems. the kernel seems the must likely of culprits, I would clear the overclock and install setcpu and run it for a but and see if you can replicate your issue.

Just try the non stock kernel, oc it but dont uv it, not all devices can handle uv, even if it is only a little bit. Even take it back too 1000mhz and try to increase the uv and oc by little bits at a time to see exactly what your transformer can handle. I think its the uv thats causing the problems. Experiment a bit and youll find the sweet spot.
I'm using Revolver ROM and i mentioned that...
I've never undervolted till yestersay.. maybe it caused the second problem
I set the clock speed at 1ghz and i'm waiting to see if anything changes..
Yeah... the problem still occurs even after setting the clock speed at 1ghz and default voltage !! using clemsyn kernel ver 22...
Every device is different. Differences in manufacturing etc. You might have a picky device. Plus these are mobile platforms. No fans, just convection cooling. They are not meant to be tweaked and oc'ed they way we do. The stock kernel is very fast. What is it that you cannot do on the stock kernel that the extreme oc let's you do?

I'm guessing my device is bad and it's Asus' problem ! i tried setting the clock speed at normal 1Ghz but the problem still occurs !! the reason i overclock is that because with the stock kernel i get slower web browsing and slower flash playback and slower overall performance!! however I'm back on the stock kernel to check out if the problem is gone or not...
I doubted my device couple months ago... because I've seen everyone overclock their devices at 1.6 GHz Without any issues !! but when i try to overclock a little bit more than 1.4 GHz it restarts itself endlessly !!
Had the same issue a few months ago. Be prepared to wake up to a dead TF.
I sent it back to ASUS and they replaced main board and battery. Under warranty of course. I suggest you unroot and use a stock rom for now.

You stated in an earlier post that the problem does not show up in the stock ASUS setup, but only with a custom ROM and Kernel. How does that make it ASUS' problem.

Hi,
I have paranoid android (2.1.1) and morfics Trinity kernel (111) running on my n7.
Sometimes when I come home from work and pick up my nexus it is warm and I have to press the power button for 10 seconds to reboot device as it won't wake up. After powering on, the battery level is much lower than it should be and battery usage tells me that the android os used up a lot.
I wondered if there is a way to track these freezes or whatever they are to find out what is causing them.
Could anybody give me some advice on that?
Thanks,
Nimdastas
nobody?
Nobody can help me on this?
try raising your voltages slightly. the tsvz series of trinity kernels are undervolted, it might be too much undervolting for your device. try upping your voltages slightly until you find a stable place for your device. or try a ts trinity kernel, they arent undervolted. a96 is one of my favorite.

sod is an abbreviation, sleep if death. its when you turn your screen off then it won't turn back on when you try to turn it on. mostly its a symptom of too much undervolting for the device.

actually, every device differs. some can overclock or undervolt more than others. I had issues when with some games on a110 because it was slightly too undervolted for me, while others had no problems, and some had sod. a111 runs perfect for me now, since the core voltages were slightly raised, but some still have sod. bumping the voltages up slightly helps most.

Answering the question, yes, there is a way to track/log the freezes. There is decent summary here : http://code.google.com/p/tegraowners-ics-rom/wiki/How_to_get_logs

So I have had my Nexus 4 for 7 exact days, was suffering from a terrible battery life of 1:30 hrs MAX screen-on. Until I flashed CM10.1+Franco's latest kernel and my phone has a 3:30 hrs of screen time on ! - I tried AOKP with Faux and some other rom combinations...Any one can explain why?
And clearly the battery life on WIFI surpasses the one on 3g.
It probably has a lot to do with the "msm_hsic_host" kernel wakelock that is present on the stock kernel. Flashing to either franco or faux kernel is supposed to be a great way to fix it and increase battery life
Because Franco Kernel is like magic?
Edit: oh hey! you're the same guy from yesterday I suggested Franco Kernel to and pm'd me for additional tips

Not sure if it has the ability to disable logging and events (i think it does). You can disable those two features for better battery life (very insignificant but every bit helps, right?) and you can disable fsync if you choose to (more IO speed, less stability mainly if your phone was to randomly reboot).
Plus the free color changing is always nice to have.
3 to 4 hours with screen on is normal battery life for a stock Nexus 4.
It sounds like you were running something that was draining the battery.
When you updated the phone, the new ROM turned off the culprit.
The battery drain is not necessarily caused by an app, it could be one
of the Google services or bad reception. Even changing the phone's default
settings can result in much better battery life.
This might be a stupid question, but could switching from stock kernel/ROM fix my antenna radio reception bull**** issues?
