So for example I want to begin and ask which Rom should I install on my I9000 Galaxy S mtd international?
I ve tried Helly Bean 4.2.2 and 4.3, Slim Bean 4.3, Cyan AOSP and Gamerz Rom which are based on CM sources (correct me if I am wrong) but after a while, for example 2-3 days, they begin to lag sometimes and the battery lasts (with my usage a bit whatsapp, facebook, bluetooth music 1hr per day and a bit candy crush saga) 2.5-4hrs screen on
Sometimes candy crush laggs so it slows down I cant do anything but after a while I get a message do you want to close candy crush but when I now push wait I can play again
Then I tried Miui V4 Port, Mintberry Crunch version (2.3.7 Gingerbread) and they were almost like CM roms so no extra ordinary battery life and candy crush also sometimes slows down but works after a while
Also almost EVERY rom, except Infamous, force closed while using Titanium BackUp for example when BackUping some apps or restoring them pretty weird...
Infamous (1.9.1) the last 4.2.2 Android version is a big difference the battery life is a little more better than at any other rom, Titanium Backup works perfectly and candy crush saga slows down only a few times. So in my opinion the Infamous 4.2.2 is one hell of a rom
Yesterday I tested the SauRom 2.3.6 Gingerbread but it seems to have problems with some routers, so my Wifi connection is pretty unstable...
I ve heard that games under Gingerbread arent that good than Jelly Bean roms? Because I would love to have a stable rom and it wouldnt be that bad to usw also 2.3.6 Gingerbread with some tweaks, if the battery life is a lot better there.
So which rom would you suggest and why? write please an average hour of screen on
Sorry to say this but none of us can give you the bets answer as everyone has their own way of using their device and everyone has their own experiences with the same roms.
Generally though, if this is any indication:
Gingerbread roms
More stable overall in terms of battery life and performance
Some games might not run as well as they would on JB
My brother- when he had his Galaxy S- was able to play Candy Crush pretty fine on stock 2.3.6 with minor issues, so Gingerbread isn't out of the option yet
Modified GIngerbread roms tend to be more stable for gaming
Jelly Bean roms
More control over performance. Overclocking is available much more readily, but at the cost of battery life
Lot more optimisations especially with roms like Gamerzrom and CyanAOSP
Battery life is (generally) worse unless you do certain things to minimise battery loss
Generally tends to run things better overall, not just in games, however, some Jelly Bean roms REALLY aren't made for games
Also, regarding battery life, again, usage varies
But on Gingerbread (which is what I'm on right now) stock, unrooted, probs an hour and a half of Pokemon Emerald as well as how I usually use my phone (majority texting, occasional browsing off my phone), its sitting on 24% right now after 11 hours, most of the time on full brightness as well. So that's not bad. Screen on time's been 2 hours 39 minutes at this point.
With Jelly Bean roms I've tried the same usage wouldn't last me through six hours.
But up to you. Just keep trying roms because eventually you'll hit a sweet spot...

Try latest CM 10.2 Nightly + HugeMem Patch + Semaphore JB 3.2.0s and in Semaphore Manager (separate app from Google Play Store) set CPU Frequency Range 200 - 1000 MHz, Governor Ondemand with Smooth UI ON, Scheduler ROW, SD Card read ahead 512KB (+bigmem checked for 409MB of total RAM if you do not use 720p recording like me). For me this is the best setup for performance and battery life. Battery lasts enough for me for daily usage. I know I have a 1500 mAh battery (3 or 4 months old, can't remember when i bought it), it's not a nuclear reactor and after 2h 30m screen time in 11h 30m with 24% still remaining, meaning I am using the phone enough, I am not asking anything more from such a small battery.
Here are some Screenshots, played Subway Surfers for ~30 minutes and Real Racing 3 for ~20 minutes, the rest is texting, calls, music, videos, web surfing (alternating wifi & network data) and taking a couple of pictures.

Okay I have an "Akku King" with more capacity but its not bigger actually so it fits like the original battery and it lasts longer

Dunno, you can try. My old battery was 3 years old too , I've thrown that away and bought a new one because I was getting angry all the time when I was checking my phone. I had to recharge my phone multiple times a day, and I've been in "pain" for a long time until I couldn't take it anymore and ordered myself a new one. I think a new battery every 6 or 12 months is worth the price for the battery life experience. Anyway every battery starts dying from the moment it's been created. A new battery is like "an athlete running a marathon" and after a few months of use, it starts "crawling to it's grave". When this "new" battery starts going from "walking with a cane, to crawling" , I will get a new one

Yeah at first I try next the F4k Mod CM9 R5 rom And then I try your setup with Hugemem Patch One question did you heard about Rom Ram Expander? So you have a swap partition like its in Linux Does is work good for the S1?
I agree absolutely :good::good: with idCyber...
It is a very great combination !!!

But if I need 720p, what do you recommend in that case?
How about Mackay vs. CM10.2?
I am also interested in recording 720p videos and what it looks like when I try the Mackay Rom with Semaphore Kernel instead of the latest CM10.2 Nightly
By the way thats exact what I meant to have a really nice discussion about roms, setups, etc. so thank for that one mates because I ve bought the Galaxy S used in June and the first rom was just Helly Bean because I knew it from my former smartphone the Galaxy Note 1 Once I got (almost only texting, browsing and no playing) 5h21min screen on !! but after a while it got laggy :/ thats why I am trying out a lot to find my personal best custom rom and setup
Guys you don't have to enable bigmem in semaphore manager for the setup I've posted. That is just an optional setting I'm using because I don't need 720p recording so I get a bit more ram by disabling it. If you need 720p recording, don't enable bigmem.

Okay please help me @idCyber it cant be that I am to dump I ve tried your setup but everytime I install the Semaphore 3.2.0s kernel I get a bootloop.Twice I just flashed everything and only bootloops then I flashed CM10.2 nightly and gapps let it boot, then rebooted in recovery flashed the big mem patch and the semaphore kernel and again bootloop after the times I gave up becaue it was 1 o clock in the morning

Try redownloading Semaphore 3.2.0s, full wipe: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /system. Then flash latest cm 10.2 nightly, hugemem patch, Semaphore 3.2.0s, gapps and reboot. I never had bootloops using Semaphore kernel so I dunno how to help you out in this case. If the full wipe and flash steps are not helping and you still experience bootloops, maybe someone from semaphore thread could help you out.

No I downloaded the ZIP file to flash it through CWM
And now it worked I flashed it before in that order : cm10.2 nightly, gapps, huge mem patch, semaphore but with the order cm10.2 nightly, hugemem patch, semaphore and gapps it worked
Now again one question I ve the same setup like you @idCyber and wanted to change video to 480p or I dont know the next lower resolution but I cant start video camera should I turn off sd card ahead again and then tick the next lower resolution and after that it will work? Or can I without to change sd card ahead change the settings because the cam force closes everytime....

Video recording force closes because it is selected 720p and you have enabled bigmem in semaphore manager. Untick bigmem, reboot your phone, go into the camera and now you can switch from 720p to 480p. Do the switch, go into semaphore manager tick bigmem, reboot and now you have 409mb of ram and you can record at 480p and camera will not FC anymore. Bigmem option enabled gives you 13mb of ram more at the cost of disabling 720p recording but 720p playback still works fine. If you need 720p recording, bigmem has to be disabled.
Also every time you flash a new nightly, flash the rom, hugemem patch and semaphore kernel (optional wipe dalvik cache) and reboot.

the funny thing is I have it done the same way I just thought of the work around and hoped at first I can do it with less time effort you know I am a mathematician and we are lazy as hell if its possible
runs fine till now and thanks for the order for the next times, you just dirty flash the next ones do you? Because I didnt find the full wipe But the Gapps I havent to flash after a dirty wipe do I? Only after a full wipe new Gapps right?

You dirty flash any new nightly, gapps are backed up automatically when you flash a new version. You need to flash gapps only when you do a full wipe and flash a different rom.

Just so we're all on the same boat here, dalingrin has found and fixed the issue with video being choppy/audio being out of sync. It now runs as it should (although these are still test builds (officially ). If you want to check it out, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960537
Youtube app work, flash works, certain video files work (depends on proper codec usage/software choice, as with everything else)
Also, his latest OC'd kernel works as well with the above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
So, now you all have another reason to make your nook color's daily driver CM7
The few last things that (I remember) are still needing to be done:
1) Fix Sleep of Death (if it can be). This will increase battery life by approx. a magnitude.
2) Merge all the fixes (DSP and various Tablet Tweaks (from mad-murdock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12472179&postcount=261) into the nightlies (not just independent test builds)
3) Profit!
cool
........ (10 char)
dalingrin*
And thank you for the update.
More props to all involved:
I run the nightlies with the oc kernel and started adding the Tablet Tweaks: fantastic so far.
I just tested the video test build and had no problems with it at all.
I went back to my backup with TT since that is more important to me than YouTube, but all of this stuff should make it in before too long which is good for all of us.
The Tablet Tweaks are definitely a work in progress and may take longer than the video but for those who haven't tried it yet- they will be a tremendous addition to CM.
from my side I can only confirm that new video test build works great. some people reported issues with gapps however in my case everything is just perfect. now fingers crossed to fixes of bluetooth range and sleep of death
Yep I agree, I loaded TT fix as well as dalingrin OC fix really makes for an excellent tablet experience.
I had reverted the DSP because I thought the speed improvement was more important than watching videos. But having both is even better thanks dalingrin /mad m.

Okay, I must of botch the order when I upgraded to build 30 a few days ago. The screen and OS was sluggish.
Today I installed TT released today, I belive it's based on CM7 build 32 and applied the OC kernel. Everything works great now.
I tried running an AVI (P90X disk 1) and the video looked great, it was nice and smooth.
=X=
Dsp fix is committed to gerritt so it'll be in the next nightly.
We should be having tablet tweaks and dsp at once soon as mad compiles it.
This is really great news for me. Can't wait for the next nightly build to include this fix.

10 times the battery life? Really? I guess if you only use it for an hour a day and let it sleep the rest of the time. Another 10% for heavy users, maybe.
I flashed this yesterday. YouTube works great. Flash video on CNN.com is still choppy. Should it be? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash with no improvement...
I also tried one of my own videos in ffmpeg format and worked great.
Great work Dalingrin! And thank you!

I've heard 2%/hr standby vs .2%/hr standby. Typical 8-10%/hr when in use, so if you use it a total of 5 hours that gives you a total of 30 hours of time off charger with no sleep, 255 hours with sleep.

Haha, yeah. Was still in engineering mode when I wrote that. Magnitude as in percent increase...
I´ve noticed a few bugs, problems in this new version of ICS. If anyone knows how to solve them I would appreciate your advice
So, here is what´s bugging me:
1. Screen sometimes go greenish for a second or two when there is a lot of apps running and when I quickly turn off and turn on the screen (it happens when the screen goes on, that moment)
2. Overclocking seems very unstable!! ..when I OC my phone (with NStools) and do some things..after a while, it freezes and reboots. On RC3.1 version I could overclock to 1.46GHz and play games and it was very stable!
(I think they changed voltage and because of that it´s unstable, but I´m not sure)
3. When system reboots (after crash), it reboots in clock work mode -.-" ..why can´t it reboot normally, into system?
4. It´s not really a problem but, does anyone know how to remove unnecessary home screens or add them back? Is it possible?
5. .apk files can´t be sent trough bluetooth .. (message: This Bluetooth device or computer cannot process files of this type. )
Other than that I would say this version is almost perfect, flash works in browser, effects in camera, USB mass storage ..works very well.
I was on Doc´s ICS teamhackungs based rom before this one (and after RC3.1 )..and I noticed that battery life was terrible even with juice saver apps running.
I hope this one is better.
Actually RC4 has been pulled because of a Wifi issue
I flashed it last night before it was pulled, I flashed over Onecosmics 2.11 no wipe, and my wifi its working normal.

It is a great rom, I hope they can fix those minor issues.
Battery life for me has been just OK on 2.11, I have to give RC4 the 3 charge cycles before any judgement.
I've just noticed that battery life was reduced constantly in last 3 days, now battery doesn't last 12 hours, but it's the first time that happens!

Yes, so did I ..just before they pulled I downloaded the rom...I was on Doc´s ICS..but I flashed with Odin JVT 2.3.5. GB ..rooted with CF-root and then in CWM flashed RC4 ..my wi-fi was having problems but when I updated WiFix manager it was ok then.
Yea, I couldn´t agree more, if they fix those issues it could be it..the final version (without any bugs). Lets hope they do it soon so we don´t have to wait too long
btw. I was thinking, could we solve these or at least some this issues by flashing another kernel??
@Giuku :I´ve noticed that too..even though I´m not OC now it still drains a lot..or my battery become weak (It´s 1year old) . But that is not without a reason..I did put her to her limits (and my phone) by playing games so much that my smartphone reached max temperature of 60°C and then cooling it in 1min to 30°C and less.
Hi ,
Now I plan to buy this phone rather than the desire x(good decision yes ??) but have a few queries.
1.does jb(stock) have support for wifi direct.
2.what is the new partition map i.e how much /data space is available for installing apps(jb stock).
3.Performance on stock jb(stock conditions).(lag ??)
4.battery life average usage gingerbread and jb(no oc , governor changes , i/o sheduler changes or mods).
5.Gaming performance(mainly hd games eg. dead trigger , temple run)(Gingerbread and jb).
6.Loud speaker performance.
that's about it for now any help will be appreciated mainly drawn by the cm10.1 work and the possibility of official support.

1. It is in options, never had chance to use it;
2. 2GB;
3. Sometime it lags, but custom kernels improve a lot;
4. GB have better battery life to me;
5. Do not play, but some games are fixed (that req opengl);
6. It is pretty fine to me. Not stereo, just one speeker. You can pump up volume with app like Volume+.
CM10.1 is on making, non official.

1. Do not know exact time, never measures. I use WIFI mostly, sometimes 3G. But it is like 20% better battery on GB. But then I was not using whatsapp that much, it drains battery good. And I charge it more often now when I connect to USB to test something, so better someone else answer that.
2. I had lag when I install JB for the first time. While typing on keyboard, noticable difference. And by time, and with removing some unwanted system apps it became very usable. (Like that chat app fhat come with stock, and other apps not needed).

Hi All,
Am I the only one that has to add the following files to the System/framework & system etc/permissions folders each time an update is applied?

Battery life & Performance
I have to say that all upates since 10/4 has seen a dramatic increase in battery usage when using the simplist app on the phone to the point that I can actually see the battery indicator dropping. There also is some serious lag as well overall as well. I've tried overclocking to 1200, setting to 1100. Governors set to Interactive at the moment but I've tried them all. I also tried a full system wipte, format the SD card as well but still see the same issue.
Anyone else having this, did have this & what was the fix (if any)?
I experience the same issue regarding the maps jar and xml files. To avoid it, I stopped updating my ROM using nightlies unless there seemed to be a major change based on the download size. Alternatively, I believe a script can be written to run manually or automatically after each update.
My battery life is definitely much shorter after three years; approximately 10% consumed per hour with moderate use. Currently, my phone is running 600 to 1000mhz interactive and 64mb swap. After uninstalling Facebook and having the phone reboot everyday at 3:30am automatically, I find that it is operating a lot smoother. I hardly feel frustrated anymore as the system rarely becomes unresponsive or lag heavily nowadays.

Well, since no one else except for those that have replied seems to be having the issues I described above or are just too lazy/selfish to respond I've decided to go back to CM7 and I must say that all the performance, battery issues have completely disappeared. I may try CM9 to compare between the two but CM10 is not in the future to reinstall. Thanks to the developers for all their hard work!
Hello everyone,
I switched my 16 months old 4x to CyanogenMod 10.1 about 2 months ago, and updated to 10.1.3 about a week after the release. About a week later, I had my first problems with rapid battery draining. I have switched kernels thrice, now running the most recent optimus prime for CM, and have tried fiddling with the values TricksterMOD provides, but I haven't found a way to get any decent battery life out of the device ever since. Last night, the battery drained 50% in about 12 hours of non-use (phone was left with display off in my jacket pocket, and that's not even the worst drain I witnessed in the last two weeks.
I'm running BetterBatteryStats to get a clue about the origin of this drainage, and can see that my device seems to me awake far too long when I'm not using it. At the moment, I'm looking at 44.6% awake, 55.4% Deep Sleep after 2.5 hours of not using the phone once (I was driving home from work half of the time). In "Kernel Wakelocks", I see "wlan_rx_wake" with 21:03 minutes on top, in "Partial wakelocks", the highest value is 20 seconds for "AlarmManager".
I have the usual suspects of communication/networking apps - Facebook (set to 2hr update), Google+, K-9 Mail, WhatsApp, plus AndroidWeather (set to 30min update) - and news apps which are allowed to send push messages. I use wifi, but no bluetooth. I never watch movies, play games or listen to music with my phone.
I have attached a BetterBatteryStats log from the 50% drain in 12 idle hours I mentioned. View attachment BetterBatteryStats-2013-10-17_092335401.txt
Can anybody give me any pointers as to what I going wrong here? I really would like to use my phone without having to plug in the power supply every few hours. If you need any additional information, I'll gladly try to provide it.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers, Pit.
only 3 letters. O M G ! this battery report just made me like this face here
u cant flash kernels one after another. there are bugs this way. dont all kernels use the same names for files. leftover files will cause problems. do the whole procedure. go to recovery , format data, reboot to recovery and install new rom

You mean you cant flash Android roms one after another. You can freely flash kernels one after another without wiping anything, Its completely modular.

then explain his situation... he said he flashed kernels not roms. why does he have such a bad battery drain during night sleep ? in his report i didnt see he has any so "bad" app.... (just asking out of curiosity, its good to have knowledge generally)

Not sure about the battery drain, it could be caused by a kernel, but its not because hes flashed multiple kernels.
some background:
Android kernels are packaged into boot.img's (these .imgs can be placed in .zips with instructions on how the custom recovery should handle flashing it) Inside a boot.img you will find a zImage (kernel) and a initrd.img (This stands for initial ram disk, its simply a basic file system that the kernel mounts, containing mainly scripts that handle mounting all the necessary partitions etc, then handing control over to Android. )
The boot.img is stored in a emmc partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p*). When you press the power button, the bootloader is initialized , it then powers on necessary hardware devices, the bootloader than pulls the boot.img from its partition, extracts it and boots the zImage(kernel), which will start initializing less necessary hardware, but mainly mounts the initrd.img and runs the containing instructions.
Bootloader -> Kernel --------------------->
.........................Initrd.img-> ........Android
To move back on track, the zImage and initrd.img only operate within RAM, they only lie in emmc when they are achieved as a boot.img. When you shut your device down, nothing from the kernel persists in the next boot (maybe /proc/last_kmsg ), this is why you dont need to wipe anything on your device between kernel flashes.

Thanks for clarifying that; it saves me some trouble.
Does the BatteryStats log give any indication as to why the phone is awake half of the time?
Cheers, Pit.
Dont know, but maybe O Prime is one of these kernel which hides the xmm baseband wakelock.... that would be the missing awake time in your log

Is there a different kernel you would recommend I should try out? I selected the OPrime because it claims to be focussing on stability and battery life instead of raw power.
Furthermore, what would the baseband wakelock tell us in terms of how the fast drain happens?
Cheers, Pit.
Hello all,
just to try it one more time: is there any way I can get decent battery life out of CM10.1.3 on my 4x? This is my profile from today, where I unplugged my phone from the charger around 7:30 a.m. and didn't use my phone thereafter until 5:30 p.m. where the phone was down to 38% already (stats taken around 8:30 p.m.) . The governor is set to conservative and the max frequency to 1.1 GHz, which already makes the UI a bit sluggish. The other settings are unchanged from above.
Secondly, if there really is no chance of improvement under CM10.1.3, which ROM (and kernel) would you suggest for my phone, so that I can at least get a full 24 hours of battery life when I'm not using my phone most of the time?
Thanks in advance, Pit.
Format SD card and wipe everything before flashing new ROM. When I say everything I mean : catche - dalvik - format system - format sd card (sd card is 11gb internal memory of device and external sd card is your inserted sd card). Try latest liquid rom i have good battery life with its stock kernel.

The baseband wakelock is hidden at his kernel

Try rebooting again after first reboot installing kernel
I'm not sure why but when wiping dalvik and cache the phone has trouble going into sleep
Flash -> wipe cache/dalvik -> Reboot -> Reboot again
Hi everyone,
well, that was a bust. After spending the better part of a day formatting and installing over and over again, I'm now running CarbonRom [20131023] - and having the same battery problems as before.
I tried LiquidSmooth (2.23), but I never got it to work properly; after installing I always got "application someName was teriminated" every few seconds (while the Play Store app was redownloading and reinstalling my apps, but also when I tried to activate SwiftKey, which calls the settings app at one point, which abruptly quits before I can type in anything. I then tried
ParanoidAndroid (3.99, which I didn't like UI-wise)
and SlimBeam (1.9, where the Google apps I downloaded as stated would install fine, but then not appear for some reason - at that point I didn't spend much time trying to fix it, because I was already fed up with it all)
before finally installing CarbomRom, which worked fine. Thus, after downloading my apps, I tried out my battery again. I unplugged the phone, turned the display off, and went shopping for about two hours, touching the phone just once for a few seconds.
The result is again about 30% awake time during these two hours, losing 10% battery in the process (BetterBatteryStat included). That is pretty much unchanged from my experiences with CM10.1.
What am I repeatedly doing wrong that I don't get halfway decent battery runtime out of my 4x (which used to run fine battery-wise for a year when I used the original LG firmware (which had other issues, but could last 36 to 48 hours, depending on usage? As I don't see hordes of 4x owners throwing the device against the wall in frustration, I must do something other don't. But I haven't got the slightest clue what that might be.
I will try PACman (nightly 20131021) next, but if anyone has any pointers, please please help! I'm running out of ideas.
This was my procedure, by the way:
Reboot into CWM
Format system, cache, data, sd card
flashing ROM
Rebooting
after bootup reboot again into CWM
add the Google apps
reboot again
After bootup, reboot again into CWM
just to be sure, reset to factory defaults
reboot, connect with Wifi and Google and start redownloading the other apps
Frustrated greetings, Pit.
Hi again,
PACman is even worse. First off all, the UI is laggy as h*ll; sometimes, it takes more than two seconds for a button touch to be recognized.
That would be somewhat tolerable if the battery life was better. But in 2.5 hours of leaving the device lying idly on my table (display turned off), more than 50% of the time, the phone was active. BetterBatteryStats are again included as an attachment; perhaps someone can find out what the problem is with them. At least, this kernel doesn't hide the xmm_baseband wakelock, though I have no idea what that means whatsoever.
This is getting ridiculous - is there really no way to get the phone to last more than ten hours (doing nothing with it - when I use it even for occasional browsing/e-mail checks, it's way less than that) anymore? Why is no one else having problems on that scale?
Typing this post cost 3% of my battery. And I'm typing it on my computer, not on my phone.
Depressed greetings, Pit.
When i watch your battery stats its your wifi did your try to install then wifi update of demetris? Try then samething with your wifi off i think it would increase slot of your battery

Thanks, for the info, I will investigate that, though I haven't found this "wifi update of demetris" on first Google try yet, just recommendations what to do with your WLAN router and PC settings.
But I my second-to-last try - where I was out shopping - the wlan_rx wakelock wasn't the problem, rather the xmm_baseband wakelock, where I still am clueless as to what that means at all. I fear that getting rid of the wlan wakelocks wouldn't help my general problems, just the problems I had at home last night in my last try.
Furthermore, if I can use the phone only by carefully switching off and on wlan manually whenever I leave the house, the phone will become pretty much useless to me. Yesterday alone, I forgot switching wifi back on twice. That way, either notifications would go through mobile data connection or not happen at all.
I will reflash my device again this morning - as the PACman UI lags are unbearable for me - and see what I can do about the wlan drain. I cannot reconfigure all the wifi networks I connect to, as some of them aren't mine to configure.

Look in the seccond post your will zee a long story but at then and of that story you see 3 zip files flash then then nvida 4.3+ broadcom driver update by cwm dunno if it solves your probleme for me its great
Goodluck

I don have any problems with liquid rom. Also I flash gaps imidiatly after flashing rom without reboot. Try flashing 4.2.2 android it is better for our prone then 4.3 builds.

I tried that earlier today, and the LiquidSmooth 2.9 (Android 4.2.2) installed fine by your instructions. But it didn't help at all with the battery usage. Phone is running on conservative governor limite to 1 GHz, and I even tried the Broadcom Wifi Update mentioned here earlier (otherwise, I'm on the LS standard kernel).
It all doesn't help, the BetterBatteryStats are still full of wlan wakelocks (even though I switched to static IP as someone mentioned that might help). Result: 10,8% battery drop per hour of leaving the phone with display off on the table.
Before I flash another ROM for the 14th time this weekend, I will collect some results with wifi turned off. Not that that would be a feasible option for me, but I want to get to the bottom of this.
Cheers, Pit.
