Hi there. I have my nexus 4 for about a week. It was bought rooted second hand. I flashed liquid smooth and faux at start and battery life was medium. About 15 hours. But I want more battery life. So I flashed liquid smooth and FRANCO kernel which is supposed to increase my battery life but it only lasted 14 hours on the first cycle. I will wait for 3-4 cycles more to check it.
Are there any special settings for Franco kernel to work better? Please help because it is a great phone but battery is essential.

The rom and the kernel is not the cause for your battery loss. The kernel's recommended settings are ideal for battery life. It's either your apps or the amount of wakelocks draining your power. Rogue apps that are constantly awake when they shouldn't be. download wakelock detector or better battery stats and find the cause.

Ouch, that's terrible battery life. I'd say it's definitely a program causing it, I don't think any rom or kernel could be that bad.
Never mind I moved to paranoid android ROM and is more battery friendly. Please lock the topic.

After 4.3 fix update battery life & performance has drastically reduced. I am getting around 15hr on normal usage & 8-9hr on heavy usage.
Charging time has gone up from 1.45 to 2.30.
Doea everyone using stock rom facing the same or just me?

I faced the same , but after i rooted and flashed franco's kernel, im getting around 22hr on normal usage ,10-11 hr on heavy usage not to mention almost 2 days when phone is idle.
Keep in mind that after an update or a ROM flash or what ever changes are made.. Battery life can suffer for a good week or so. This GS like media scanner and other services will be running more in the background.

Thanks!

Hi
one of the bad things so far about Galaxy devices is RAM usage and ability to free memory.
But stock Android 4.4.2 comes with RAM management feature;
Project Svelte
and also with power management for sensors that is so necessary for galaxy device;
Low Power Sensors
Now its important that how Samsung Galaxy Developers used these 2 project to boost up their product & of course Galaxy Note3
please write about your galaxy kitkat experiences...
:good:

Does Android 4.4.2 of* Galaxy Boost-up your phone performance?
Any experience?
Do you like performance of galaxy KitKat?
Did you test AnTuTu on 4.4.2 ??

I got a 36 + 38K score from Antutu when I freshly flashed. Yesterday I got 29K.
Phone feels smoother, it's the little things, noticeable differences? slight.
What's Galaxy kat?

I got Antutu 36512 fully stock 4.3, so it seems kitkat not much better and I'm sure I could push it much higher with tweaks not available yet for new 4.42.
So far initial tests and reports;
Boost Performance
better RAM management
more Stability
for SM-N900 and before it for N9005

Massive battery drain on 4.4.2, I've removed all bloat were disabled features etc even put CPU frequency to Min 300mhz but I still have massive battery drain. Yeah its smooth, responsive and efficient but the battery on it sucks

Possible to install wakelock detector then charge full. After that let phone idle for 1 to 3 hrs. Then check what's waking it up.

i got battery draining issue on my N900 and i did this;
let to discharge, less than 20% and then turn it off and connect to charging cable and wait for full charging and then turn it on.
it s like re-gauging of battery.
:good:
I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me, my s4 won't even last 3 hours if I leave my 3G on even if my phones on standby my battery drains at like 1% a minute.
I am currently running Echoe Rom v12 with ML6 baseband etc
I have Philz touch recovery.

See what is using the battery from settings and fix it.
Get greenify from play store.
Disable google's location reporting.
It consumes about 10% battery per hour.

[APP][2.2+] Wakelock Detector will help to spot apps that are draining battery.
Use [APP][4.0+] Greenify to make apps sleep.
