I'm running the CM7 7.0.2. stable version and the battery life is just awful. I don't know if it's something I am doing wrong or what, but it drains fast and takes a while to charge. When I look at battery use on there it says that display is the most, followed by cellular standby. If someone can help that would be great. Thanks!
its like that for everyone.. they are curently working on the problem and have found the problem.. it wont be much longer till its fixed.
Ok great news. Thanks for the info!
Your not using set CPU are you that killed me then I researched ( looked at CM7 thread)

No I'm sure not. What settings do I need to keep in Set CPU?
I am not using SetCPU but I am OC in the CM settings menu and also see bad battery life but I expected not so great battery life. I think Set CPU is really bad in a CM7 rom.
agreed that's the only big downside to cm7. I think bat life is half is stock 2.2
Youre not supposed to use setcpu with cm7

I am on cm7.2RC and i love it so far. Its fast, smooth and works like a charm. But the only one thing i hate about it is that it has terrible battery life. Within 3-4 hours of complete charge my battery runs down to 20%. I could flash a different rom but i dont wanna do that because i'm loving this rc build, well besides the terrible battery life.
Please help.

That's a problem within Cm7. It cannot be fixed at the moment...
Try custom CM 7 from KANG is awesome the audio is fixed and battery life is as good as stock!

I've been using an app called Juice Defender and it has honestly (almost) doubled my battery life. Give it a try! Worst comes to the worst, you just delete it

All juice defender does is disable the wifi and 3g when not needed. I disable them manually from habit after use and because of that battery increase was 0.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
you can do the same thing in tasker or even more as in juicedefender. Tasker is also cheaper.
Agreed, juicedefender will only disable wifi and 3g connections.
Do it manually, without the need to install other app, and save your battery... One day with wifi disabled you hardly will use more than 10% of your battery (without gaming, just music)
Juice defender no doubt disables wifi and cellular data and ofcorse you can do it manually but it has the option of disabling wireless connections when the screen is off which saves a little more battery life. Get the free version, coz i used the Ultimate one and besides more manual options nothing else is different.

hey guys i herd there is a kernel for this phone that makes the phone overlock to 1.8ghz i cant find it can anyone link the thread to me if there even is one thanks!
They were before, but it is unstable and it fried CPU's so the devs dialed them down

I am pretty sure you can still download some 1.8 clockable kernels, just not for 4.2.2

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

Hey i definitely agree... my phone would bootloop if i went above 1631 mhz haha. Hey but i see your using nos. Whats your personal opinion on it, especially considering battery life?

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.

Thats great! but wouldnt it be better to have a working camcorder? Just saying. Or are there are any fixarounds for video cam?
and what about the battery drain? nobody likes the battery drain, but we appreciate the work, thanks!

Yes, lags are disappeared in menus on high scrolling speed, but if you will scroll menus or browser window with low speed - there will be glitches. You can easy found such behavior in settings of Messages application (there is white background). If you will scroll settings with low speed you will see noticeable glitches.
But anyway, if you compare new build with older - there huge difference in rendering. Also, lags in 3d applications is gone.
battery performance
battery performance is too poor in this rom. it lasted only 6 hrs with moderate use (almost 70% standby) anything can be done?

try changing cpu clockspeen and i/o settings... change i/o to sio and cpu governer to powersaver when less used and interactive while using graphic apps like games etc... hope this will help you
The battery drain is due to high standby/sleep current. It never goes below 15mA.
I've tried several governors with no success. I'd assume that the kernel is not fully optimized yet to put CPU in sleep mode or be able to turn one of the cores off during sleep. It does it with stock ROM where standby current is around 5mA on average.

Someone who works on kernel should fix it at some point. We had same high battery drain in HP touchpad CM10.1 until it was fixed.

Super good I never had my signal bars so full before and also fixes lag like crazy . make to download all zips just in case anything happens you never know .
This was flashed with aokpz unofficial on mako with stock kernel so you never know . suppose to help battery as well. We will see since its running so smooth now

i took a liberty to look inside the zip that you flashed.. when you have issues later on(random reboots, etc. theres lots of potential for conflict in that zip), just reflash your rom(and gapps), no need to wipe.

All these lag eradicating solutions might do more harm than good. The better solution is to try a custom kernel or tomorrow rather than toy with these less than technically fundamented placebos.

The former, I saw it too when I had an S3. I read it before.
It's less damaging to your battery life compared to Seeder and less placebo than supercharger but it's more intrusive and it messes around with this that are not the source of lags/issues
Most likely it keeps i/o or cpu less in idle state so it performs better, but has a cost in the long run.
Kernels are a much better approach and frankly I had zero lag issues with this phone.

jfi .....kernels mess with governor settings too.
I have the Octa S4 and I have flashed this too, I am using one older version though but it does indeed make your phone somewhat a lot smoother, animation and scrolling, but i'm selling the S4 and returning back to Nexus (S4 Price = Nexus 4 + Nexus 7 Second Gen (?))
