So, I've been running the Milestone release of AOKP for a while and while it's been generally stable, I seem to be having an an issue with reboots when I don't use the tablet for a while. Maybe.
Once maybe every few days, if it's been sitting for a while (or charging), when I unlock, all of my recent apps have been cleared. The stock battery info doesn't indicate any downtime, but GSAM battery monitor will indicate a reboot.
I've seen this on both KToon and Franco's most recent kernels.
Anybody else? Any ideas?
Thanks!

My aokp+franco also falls asleep and I nave to reboot. It's annoying, I'm going to change ROM. I'd like to know if it is related to the ROM or the kernel though.
I'd guess OP is seeing 'surface flinger RAM shell reboot' that's talked about often.
I'd guess europizza has a unit that is having a battery/motherboard/"power" related issue.
Why? - Based on reading these and other N10 help forums for the last 6 months.

While I have had the SOD with AOKP and Franco/KToon kernels, what I'm talking about isn't the tablet not waking up. It's that it's rebooting while charging or not being used for extended periods of time. (But I haven't had any SOD issues with the latest version of either of those kernels, btw.)

Ah, thanks. I've seen talk of this surface flinger business before, but never really knew what it was referring to. Haven't researched it much yet, but it sounds like something I'll just have to deal with for now.
Thanks again.

Is anyone else experiencing exceptional battery drain in the last week or two? I'm not sure if it is since 4.3, but my phone barely lasts a full day and it is the same with all my other friends with a Nexus 4.
We are all wondering what is going on!

So many things could be draining your battery. You need to provide more data in order to troubleshoot.
Use BetterBatteryStats and/or wakelock detector (both in Google Play) to identify apps causing wakelocks. Then Google those wakelocks for possible solutions. Out posts screenshots of your wakelocks here or in a wakelock thread.
Plus provide details of what ROM, kernel, and radio you're using.

Interesting--- but the OP says it was resolved with the latest updates, but mine is still draining superfast.
I had the same problem. At my nexus it was the zooper widget which causes the draining. After uninstalling the battery consumption went normal. Maybe you have a similar problem...

LOL, I´m the OP, but also there is some Android System wakelock that is caused by a bad radio. Try to install some app to detect wakelocks or post a screenshot to see how it looks the battery drain, so we can help you better.

I installed Wakelock Detector but I have no idea how it works or how to interpret the data. If you can show me how to paste the data here, I'd appreciate it.

I just installed once the app, but can´t remember well how it exactly work.
It is not too hard. Just install app and then wait for a full cycle. What this app does, is just monitoring all the processes on your phone. When you make a full battery cycle, it detects which processes are awake and it shows them on the wakelock screen as well as the name of the process.
Sometimes, it will show crazy names or not so conventional names, but better to make a screenshot of the overall wakelocks and then the detail of the major wakelock. I think this was on top of others.
I've been getting random reboots for a long time now. But it seems to have been getting more frequent recently. Did some research and many said to post up my last_kmsg. Here it is. Hope someone can identify the problem for me. I thought it was the kernel (previously using franco), Hence I dirty flash PA again. It happened on previous versions of PA too and I factory reset from time to time. So I'm not sure whats causing the issue. I cant seem to emulate the reboot. It happens even when my phone is in sleep mode. Let me know if there's any other info that you need. Thanks
Radio: .84
PA Version: 3.99

what apps do you have installed?? is chrome or chrome beta one of them?...i had installed chrome beta and had random reboots as well...if not then try to install a different rom..see if that helps
sometimes it happens i would recommend you a factory reset and try with other ROM.
for example Carbon Rom + Hells Core no deadlocks and very fluid and stable!
they release a nightly per day!

I too have been getting random reboots on PA since moving up to 4.3. I can live with them as they only seem to occur when I'm not using the phone. My guess was it's an issue with 4.3 or PA ... which will be fixed I time, or it's because I restored all apps with titanium, which I don't usually do, and something got ****ed along the way?

I just uninstalled chrome beta as you suggested and install chrome in. I'm also suspecting a certain app that is causing the reboot but can't seem to pinpoint which. Hope someone that can interpret the last_kmsg could point out the cause. Will monitor a few days to see how it goes.

Is this ROM battery friendly? Battery is a main factor for me since I don't use much of the customisations like halo or pie. My battery brains reeeealy fast when I turn on 3.5g. Such vast difference compared to when I just use 2g.

nice! if you have uninstalled chrome beta then your problem my friend is solved! ....if you ask me...Vanir Rom by mbq with Hells kernel is a beastly combination. Battery is damn good i get 4-5 hrs of screen on time...and its damn fast too, closest thing to psx compared to speed with almost all the customization you would want

yes my friend! i am looking for the battery friendly and this one is so stable! and hells kernel is being a good kernel even in Beta.
use 2G we cant do anything respect this.
You will need to catch a log when the reboot happens, since the last_kmsg is only written when the reboot happens, and is not written in case of soft reboots... So i thinkj last_kmsg won't help...
Mine was rebooting fairly often. By chance i went into settings > date and time and somehow the setting for “automatic date and time" got unchecked. Since I checked it I haven't gotten any reboots yet. Just posting this to see if anyone who has been having random reboots has that setting unchecked.

I took up your advice! But I'm still on stock kernel. Not sure if the jss hells kernel will be compatible with the 4.3 rev3. But it was mentioned on the thread that it is though. Haha. I'm getting 2hr+ screen on time with 2g. Maybe I should flash hells?

Hm... Interesting. Mine have been checked all these while. Don't think this is what's causing my reboots. I'll keep an eye on it nonetheless.

battery life usually depend on kernel..not so much on the rom..give hells kernel a try and see how much juice you can squeeze from your battery...im running jss kernel on rev 3 and works perfectly fine so no need to worry abt that...matrix, semaphore and franco kernel are good alternatives as well if hells kernel doesnt work for you...Are you still getting those random reboots?
The speed of vanir is craaaazy. But I'm not getting more than 2.5hrs screen on when on 2g. And there's some weird issues with the camera. Like screen tearing. Im guessing that would be from the hells kernel being incompatible to an extent.
How do you get 4-5hrs screen time??

In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.
Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.
Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?
Are you on MJA?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...

For me the downloaded OTA will not work to upgrade from the beta version. The ota has a time stamp of 4 november and the beta has a timestamp of 11 November . Running adb sideload "ota.zip" returns Error E3003: Can't install this package (<OTA timestamp>) over newer build (<beta timestamp>).
Edit: Refresh my memory. Is it the case that any reversion from beta to factory release requires a full install?
Is anyone else noticing severe battery drain after updating to NMF26H? I didn't have a problem with the developer preview releases but I lost 35% of my battery idling last night and just tested again and lost 15% in roughly for hours. Android OS, tablet idle and Android system seem to be the vaguely specified culprits.

Quite the opposite for me. Battery life seems better.
I'll keep my eyes open. Perhaps it was a one off. Also, I now seem to notice that "Cellular network signal" appears under the battery graph (always as a "red" no signal, obviously). Is this new? I don't recall seeing it there before given that the tablet has no cellular radio.

The culprit for battery drain seemed to be the TWC TV app (which I never even really use). Uninstalling it seemed to fix it.
I upgraded the system yesterday to 7.1.1 from 7.0 and night mode has disappeared, I have read in some places that the implementation of night mode has changed in a way that now requires driver support which is not present in this device.
Anybody knows a solution for this? Overlay apps like twilight are much worse that native night mode
