I love galnet v5.2

But the battery drain isn't worth all the good things this rom has to offer. So sad to know I couldn't use my phone for long if this rom remained.

Ditto. I love MiUi but the battery drain makes it impossible to live with it.

Its like having the fastest and best looking car but you only to drive it for 5 mins before buying more gas. I'm thinking of buying a battery pack just to get normal usage out of this rom. Its about 30% below where I'm usually at and I haven't been doing much.

Use the official miui build from MIUIAndroid.com. I lose 1% battery an hour on that rom.

Okay ill give this a shot and see how well it works.

I am using GalnetMIUI v6 and I don't have any battery drain. With some txts, calls , bit gaming and surfing I can get about 30+ hours of battery.

I can totally confirm this. Only thing i'm missing now on MIUI is my language, but as this rom is more than perfect compared to Samsung rom i will stay with this. I've got some random reboots in 24 hours i flashed this but it's still good!

if you hardly use the phone of course you will have great battery life, use the phone normally so we can see the difference the kernel made.

now is on 44% with 2 hours of screen and 1 hour 15 minuts of calls, whatsapp, web search, emails, and some sms in 24 hours
i think is a great consum and its not a fake, 6 hours, 100% without use, is a grand deepsleep and tharks for haraunjo, owner of the desing and tester friends of he........ very good job.
i used all kernels that we can find , siyah, phenomenal, speedmod, franco, darknight,chainfire, etc. and this kernels is working like in galaxy s2 siyah 2.6.7 another great work from gorkhanmoral...............
thakns to haraunjo for this kernel, i think was my obligation give this results to other owners of s3

Post your screens when you reach 5% and the on screen time etc. You've got my interest in the kernel.
Can it be flashed to stock rom? My screen is on a minimum of 4 hours a day. Do you think it would make a difference to me?

5h screen time! Pretty good. I guess you're the type who never puts the phone down, I do at most 3h screen time and that's pushing it.
I'm running ELK4 right now, waiting for everything to settle to test battery life, I have a very long day and night tomorrow, perfect time to see how far the battery will go.

very bad for me in 4.1.2
in 8 h ( standby ) :
4.0.4 -------------- 1%
4.1.4 -------------- 3%
4.1.2 -------------- 8%
decrease in battery %

Nexus 4 battery drains fast

Hi guyz , i often watch Netflix on my phone, but the battery on nexus 4 just vanishes in matter of seconds. I watched one episode of x files which is 45 min long, and in the beginning my battery was 55% then not even after 30 min or so i got warning that battery was 14% and charge it. Also, one time i fully charged my phone, and there was episode which i had 6 minute left to watch, and i finished the episode, checked my battery it was 88%, Damnnnn!!!! 1 min of video playing equals 2% percent battery? That's too much i think? I m watching Netflix over data usage, not on WiFi. Is there any way to fix it? Or is this just how it is supposed to be? Any help is appreciated. I am on project cold fusion ROM, and the kernel it had come with. Should i flash some other kernel? I like the ROM very much. Only the battery is a big issue for me right now. I searched about this, but i couldn't find similar problem. So I'm posting this thread. Thank you.

Watching a video that's streaming over the network is going to chew through battery. You can try lowering your brightness? Also, there are several kernels. Your mileage will vary, so start with what's popular and flash away.

If i get 1 hour for 15% watching videos ill do anything to get ROM and kernel. Btw kernel is independent from the ROM? I could flash any kernel on any ROM i want?

Since this is the nexus 4, yes. If you were on a different device sense kernels would be sense roms only and tw kernels would be tw only.

the update with fastboot and factory image as soon as it got realesed and until then i havent charged it yet.I ve seen some vids on yt surfed the
net and played some nfs most wanted by the way the battery status now is at 10% So how is yours ?

Was on OTA update til acouple minutes and from what I could tell, I felt my battery life last longer compared to stock 4.2.2 and slightly less than Franco's

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...

i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time

battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.

@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.
