hey i just flasher franco v2 over stock ROM... icleared cache and dalvik cache and battery status and used it for 1 hr and was left at 95% battery i woke up today and battery was 88% after 8-9 hrs of standby... when i see the battery use graph,, it was awake most of the time during night... how can i fix this ?
Install better battery stats and see what is keeping your phone awake.
Use the gbs or goldenleaf kernel by fserve if you wanna stop crying over battery life..

he's talking about .35 kernel, not .32
@OP
Use 1.1 kernel. v2 is labeled as testing release and it hasn't got any important improvements, so yeah.. I would go for v1.1

i used it and found that partial wake is used by alarm manager though i don't use alarms... should i uninstall clock and alarm apps ??

First of all, I would like to congrats you that you have successfully installed the best kernel in the world - franco.Kernel v2
then, let me tell you: the battery consumption is NOT because of the kernel.
according to your findings, you said alarm manager is activating the partial wakelock.
confirm the wakelock is occupying that 8 hours of awake
if not, see if there is another wakelock
do not uninstall alarm apps, they are NOT THE ONLY apps that activates alarm manager!
according to the xda wiki, it says...
Alarm Manager
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
Alarm Manager manages intents to Be triggered at Specific Times. Alarm Manager has little to do with alarm clocks. It is related to Android holding a process in state until it is either needed again or exited fully.
Quote:
This class provides access to the system alarm services. These allow you to schedule your application to be run at some point in the future. When an alarm goes off, the Intent that had been registered for it is broadcast by the system, automatically starting the target application if it is not already running. Registered alarms are retained while the device is asleep (and can optionally wake the device up if they go off during that time), but will be cleared if it is turned off and rebooted. ... The Alarm Manager holds a CPU wake lock as long as the alarm receiver's onReceive() method is executing.
Make sure you exit apps you no longer want by using the back button before you put your device to sleep. Do not use the Home button to exit an app.

get it? i use my phone that way, try exiting apps with the back button after a reboot, and try one more night! good luck

That the tweaks are included means you don't need to do anything to enable them.
No kernel requires any sd card partitioning.
Yes, you can flash it via CWM. Just wipe cache and battery stats first.

download betterbatterystats and see if you have app wakelocks. You could show us your battery usage history. are you running a stock build with a rooted stock kernel? more info = better help . I'd recommend Voltage Control over Setcpu too. It's lighter and should you undervolt it too much, rather than having to flash a reboot package, it delays your undervolt settings for 20 seconds at boot so you can cancel them.

This is referred to as the sleep of death (sod). I would get this when I turned on deep idle using the smartass governor. I switched to the interactive governor and it works flawlessly. So try that, it should work, and you should see an improvement in battery life too
Edit: I spoke to soon, I am getting it now even with Interactive governor. It didn't give me any problems until I turned on wifi. This could have something to do with it. Try it anyways and see if it works, I am going to try and narrow down what the issue is.
Edit 2: Ok it seems to be the wifi. You cannot have wifi on and deep idle, it causes sod. I basically turned off wifi, cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted and was able to make it work.

Hey guys, please post your battery stats by using app called better battery stats. I have to charge my every 10 hours. My phone was in deep sleep for 6hrs or so. My battery drain average is 10.4%/hour. So, please post your battery stats using better battery stats. btw, I'm using stock gb rom with tagb 1.2 hotfix kernel. My battery drains even in deep sleep mode (I guess, I'm not sure) The person who has best stats may tell us some tips.
PS: please download better battery stats app from xda, as the developer provides free version for xda users, but in market its paid app.

We can't compare everything! We can compare something like which app they use for texting, which are the apps that keep phone awake; what are the alternatives for that app, what are governors people use for normal use! Etc

Depends on your usage. Of course, powersave would be in the running for best battery life, but it would not be ideal if you are a gamer or heavy user. I personally use a governor not available on any of the GB kernels as far as I know (SmartassH3).
Never liked SetCPU. I use No frills; simple UI, allows you to change governor and I/O scheduler, look at some frequency stats, etc.

SmartassH3 is supposed to be a more battery efficient version of Smartassv2.
I don't think changing your governor will help with sleeping issues. Governors only affect how the CPU ramps up and down. If you have issues with your phone sleeping, then it is most likely one of your apps.
Since you already have BetterBatteryStats, you can easily check partial wakelocks and see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.
I really doubt upgrading the app will change the battery usage of your phone.
If you cared about battery life, being on stock is bad start. Why not use CM7 or CM9?

Just change the rom and Kernel.
You are getting so many bugs and yet you didn't flash new rom.
I recommend that you change roms and see what's best for your phone and your usage.
I'm not sure but the kernel you are using is for gaming I think. ie. More power, less battery.
Anyways here is a battery usage graph :
I already posted this on the Rootbox rom thread, but I know not everyone reads the whole thread so it might save a bunch of people from asking the same question on different threads over and over again. I have tried out a few 4.2.2 roms and they would always reboot randomly, I used the 4Aces kernel and the Uber kernel and got the same results, constant random reboots. I fixed the problem by turning off CPU profiles. I use SETCPU to overclock, but I assume this is a kernel problem that would happen no matter which app you use to overclock. Hope this helps others!
Just to clarify, I'm still overclocking my device I've just turned off the CPU profiles.
Thanks a lot Porkenhimer, Will try this fix asap.

Did an experiment yesterday and today, I ran 5 random 4.2.2 ROMs each for two hours, 1 hour with no CPU profiles setup and 1 hour with CPU profiles setup and enabled. I used the 4Aces kernel for each test. I also used a different profile setup for each ROM. I did a full wipe before installing each ROM. The ROMs I used were PAC-Man, Alliance, Rootbox, ReVolt & Jellybeer. I did not install any apps except for SETCPU. I had a total of one reboot with CPU profiles turned off, which was with the PAC-Man rom, and the least amount of reboot I had was with Rootbox, which was 3 reboots in one hour with CPU profiles enabled. Its pretty clear to me that enabling CPU profiles at least with the 4Aces kernel, will cause reboots. I had used both both the 4Aces and Uber kernals before doing this test and got reboots on every 4.2.2 rom I tried so I'm guessing if I did the same exact test with the Uber kernel I would get the same results. I'm not saying that other things are not also causing reboots, but its clear to me that something bad is happening when CPU profiles are enabled.

Well you must have had a borinnnnng day haha. ... And your eyes must hurt for waiting on reboot.... I run 4/20 rootbox with profiles set for screen on 192/1242 WHEATLEY and screen off 192/972 powersave...4aces kernel. Only had one reboot and it was my daily driver for over a month. ...also the new base changes and merges may be messing with profiles set for set cpu in the newer 4.2.2 builds of roms and kernels. Cool to see someone giving that much time in a day to watch for reboots. Keep visine handy ...hope you figure out more
---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------
And actually run a logcat of it re booting with profiles and we will have some answers to what is causing the issue
