Thanks for the info.
Good news for all Elnarnians!
EDIT: wonder how long before cmahendra figures out the url to the update
Seems odd that it took them so long to figure out there was a problem. And don't they test this stuff before releasing? Of course they do. I think I have to go with carloswii5. They must have found a vulnerability.
I think it may be a mixture of both, on my device battery life is absolutely horrible, on a good day I need to charge it 2 times a day, but usually 3... The vibration on it cuts in and out sometimes, such as now... Some times the vibration works when I type but other times it doesn't... Hopefully they send out a new update correcting these problems... Or I'll have to get a external battery

No degradation in battery life but battery app is broken
I did not really notice a degradation in my battery life. However, I do see that the battery app is sort of broken. When you go to 'Battery Use', my P769 always shows the screen taking 3% of my battery life. That has to be incorrect because the screen will take over 30% of your battery life under the best conditions. Note that I have no games or 3G/4G being used and neither do I listen to or stream music at all. So, the screen usage percentage is definitely wrong.
So let me ask this... For those of us that DID take the update to JB and things are broken... When this update resumes, will we get another FOTA to fix it? Or are we stuck with this crap now?

Even your app preferences? For example... I have purchased ADW EX... EVERY time I boot the phone, it asks me which launcher I want to use by default. I choose ADW, and press "Always." Next reboot, same thing. It does this for ALL of my apps that have conflicting apps. Music, Gallery, etc.
I'm downloading the 10e for T-Mobile... So I think I'm just gonna try and install that, and once I'm back on ICS, Root, and use the root keeper, then update. We shall see... This download is slower than molasses though.
EDIT: Back on ICS 10G, the 10E was a bunk download... But all my previous issues are now fixed. ...So in my case, the update was in fact at fault. Not sure why, but I no longer care. LOL

OK, I have written an app to attempt and stop call wonkyness on CM7 builds. Specifically the phone locking up when making and receiving calls.
It's my observation that it's the mic that causes the phone to lock up and so this app opens and closes the mic every minute to keep it "fresh". It's a long shot, but I can't seem to duplicate wonkyness with it enabled so I'm posting it for other to try.
Now after a few positive comments to help boost my confidence in the app, I've made it's own thread to make it easy to track comments.
Just install and run (or just reboot as it auto-start on boot). To disable, uninstall it.
Please post your results!
Change Log:
Version 1.4
Made service more persistent by adding notification bar. Turns out, Android was killing off the service when memory was running low causing wonk to surface.
Version 1.3
Can only be installed on internal memory. Needed to make sure the service can started up on boot. (Thanks to mjukis for pointing this out)
Version 1.2
Only dewonkificates when screen is off to avoid conflicts with any apps you may be using.
Removed debug logging
[Post edited because the wonkyness is still there and this .apk works fine to fix it]
Dude.... As best as I can tell in 20 minutes' time, this damn thing seems to actually work! Gotta tell ya how skeptical I was....but I'm pretty flippin' pleased right now!
Good looking out!!
Much appreciated for this app.
While it's still too early to say it's 100% working, so far so good.
I have had the wonk since build 3 to 23 (except for 16).
I will keep testing and report back often.
That's great news and I'm happy that it looks like it's working for people. I was on the edge of rolling back and this was a desperate attempt to fix it.
Agree with the op. Can't say for sure its the miracle I've been waiting for... but 4 calls in (admittedly 2 from myself, ) no wonks. When I'd expect all to be wonky
If this 'wonklessisity' continues you will surely become supreme ruler of xda!
Will report back soon.

Currently I can't see any measurable battery drain. Dewonkificator doesn't even show on the About phone->Battery use screen. Increasing the time between dewonkification might be work, but since battery doesn't seem to be a issue and we don't know what the source of the problem is I don't think its worth risking or investigating.
I also believe it have something to do with the mic, since all apps that use it have the same freeze, and it seems to work for me. Thanks

This bug is the reason I got off CM7 nightlies, so damn annoying. Maybe this is a Gingerbread thing rather than a Nexus S problem cause the Nexus S is supposed to be rebooting itself while in calls as I'm sure everyone knows.
I just want to take this time and thank all the devs and people who have contributed to the release of the 2.3.4 build on xda. the wake up lag is gone, as well as the ui lag after first waking up the phone, and also it has the crt animation even with the lcd density issue, i just use launcher pro, so its all good. this is amazing!!! i don't know how my day could get any better!!
I really want to unlock my bootloader and install 2.3.4 but the whole voiding my warranty has me worried. I keep thinking what if something happens and I need a replacement. Oh man. Decision time.

Well, after I unlocked my bootloader, I had a nice little text in the top left of my screen that read "unlocked". But after having some problems (own problems, not because of unlocking) I flashed back to the .57 sbf, and the "unlock" text when away. Then after flashing the unlocker sbf, I didn't have to go to fastboot and do the oem unlock command. So, it's like the bootloader is unlocked (the fuse is physically blown) but the unlocked bootloader is not fully in place until flashing the unlocker sbf (whatever that does).
So anyways, if something did happen to your phone with in your warranty, do you think if you could still get into the RSD protocol support you could just flash the .57 sbf and it would maybe cover it up to Motorola or whoever checks the phone that the bootloader is unlocked? How do you think they actually check that? Or if they will actually go through the trouble to do whatever it is in order to check?

Yea, I'm really loving it too. It's so quick. Did you try setting the screen density in the build.prop file to 270 instead of 240? I did that and while things did fit on the stock launcher, it made everything bigger to where it almost looked distorted to me...I didn't like the way it looked so I set it back to 240 and just used the Gingerbread launcher.
I concur, it is pretty amazing. I love how I can use swype beta now. Loads better!

im sorry i can't really answer this, partly because I just flashed it at 12 am in the morning and put it onto the charger and now its morning where im at. but in the few minutes i used it, it didn't seem to drain that fast
The battery life seems to be worse than froyo. Can someone else confirm this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yep battery life is worse than froyo drains too fast!!!
Can someone give me a heqds up where to get 2.3.4 at and how to get it. I have gingerblur right now.
The battery drainage issue has got to be a rouge app driving it down. My phone is at 70%. I took it off the charger last night after I flashed 2.3.4 and I had a ton of internet usage and a few calls today.
While I hate to say this, you should look at the "task manager" app that is included with the Atrix builds and actually use the Auto-End list function. Before I found out that I DoubleTwist was killing my battery and uninstalled it I was using this auto-end list to help take care of the other apps that were going stray.
Going back and paraphrasing what the CEO of Motorola Mobility said that all apps are not created equally and some are definately coded poorly and drive battery usage down. As much as we may hate to hear it, the guy is right.
Good luck,
NW
2.3.4 was nice but in all honesty the offical release will most likely be out in less than a month and it will not have as many as the issues that this one has
I agree, it is quite amazing. The battery life is rather short now. It is definitely out of whack because I cab power it down at 70% and when I turn it back on it is at 90%.

I wouldn't think it would do anything with the hboot since most of us have an unlocked bootloader. Even if it does re-lock the bootloader then we can always unlock it again.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA App
I installed this update the day I got my phone so I don't really have a before and after comparison, but my phone still gets much hotter than I'd like.
The phone (as reported by battery indicator) idles at 4.2 volts at 28ish celcius. If I actually use it (using the browser, playing angry birds, really anything where the screen stays on), it heats up to maybe 42c and voltage drops to about 3.8. I don't have a graph to tell me what the actual temp/voltage is when I'm playing a game or whatever though, that's just what I see immediately after exiting an app that heats up the phone. Seems kind of backwards that it would idle at what's seemingly it's maximum voltage though but I don't know anything about phones. Also, keeping the screen on at low voltage seems to eat up about as much battery as being on a phone call.
What kind of temps are you guys seeing?

The ROM number is the same as the ROM Xboarder has been using for his ROM's.
So unless there are some patches (or a different radio, kernel, or something), I would not expect any difference in performance unless you were on a different one.
Maybe give all the software component numbers to see if any of them are new with this OTA.

Just after writing this post I checked and am currently at 37 hours with 27% battery left.
Is anyone else getting Android OS around 50-60% battery use?
I have tried every ROM included going back to stock. I have ran the phone with nothing but Stock and no apps installed for a day and still get the same drain so I can only assume its a kernel issue.
I am not familiar with LG products in the slightest, but I had a yellow screen of death the other day...something I have never seen in my years with samsung android products. Anyone have any idea what this is maybe it is pointing to a hardware issue?
LG made a great phone, but I don't think I will keep it much longer. Locked boot loaders, no sources, and history of terrible updates have me regretting purchasing this phone. I tried my hand at building a working jb release when I first got the phone and it is going to take a skill set I do not have and I hate waiting on a company to do what they've never done in the past..

Easy, brother. I have only had one of my apps/utilities run higher than AndroidOS ever on this phone; however, that said, I think there is a problem with the way it's being calculated. I'm getting really good battery life with good sleep and still AndroidOS shows the highest by far. I know that's abnormal for it to be so high and still get good battery life, but it is what it is.
Edit: you've installed the fast dormancy toggle, right? As for the yellow screen, I've seen it once in my two months with the phone, just rebooted and carried on. Forgot what they said it was...but it is here in this forum somewhere.

I was just about to post something similar. Andriod OS being high kind of makes sense if nothing else is using the battery, although you would expect that number to fall significantly with increased screen on time and heavy app usage, which it doesn't ever seem to.
I've been having horrible battery drain lately. I'm currently traveling for business, and just use my OG for web surfing and stuff when I'm in my hotel. I leave the phone in airplane mode, with WiFi on. About two weeks ago, when I was on The Base 0.4 in that same configuration, my battery would drain maybe 1% an hour while I was sleeping.
Recently I've been on The Base 0.7.3, and my battery drains over 5% an hour while I'm sleeping. This means no screen on, no apps running, and even turning WiFi off! How does it use that much battery when it's not doing anything? Now, I'm not entirely sure what kernel I'm running. The first time I installed The Base 0.7.3 I used sk8's kernel. After getting poor battery life, I reflashed 0.7 and 0.7.3, this time choosing the freegee kernel. I'm not actually sure if the kernel changed though.
Anyway, I think I'll post again tomorrow with some screenshots from Better Battery Stats+ and CPU Spy.
I'm wondering if this recent botched update had the battery fixes we need. Hopefully they'll re-release it soon.

When I would get bad drain, which has happened several times, I could narrow it down to a couple things in order to solve the problem.
In my case it would always happen after installing Google+. Uninstall and reboot would usually fix the issue. If I got drain on a fresh install without g+ installed, I found that if I installed the 2.2 kernel separately as a stand alone zip, that would fix it. Don't know why but it may work for you too.
I don't have screen shots, but today I recharged at 38% after 3:10 of phone use and 1:55 screen on time and about 15 hours off charger. That's with Wi-Fi on the whole time and Bluetooth for about 9 hours. I have my work exchange account on active sync with push notifications. Facebook and Twitterer to 4 hour intervals. I'm underclocked to 1350 and using powersave gov with deadline.

Believe you are correct. There were issues on the Samsung Infuse and even the international SGS3 for a while... it was referred to as 'memory leak.' Has been worked out by devs on XDA. You can put memory leak in the XDA search above... it's above my pay grade.
Edit: It's great to see another RD here... hope you will reconsider keeping the phone and stay !!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have Google+ uninstalled, but part of me thinks Google Now may be partially the culprit (although why that would be the case with all radios off, I don't know).
I'll try a fresh install of the 2.2 kernel and see if that helps. Thanks.

I would be less inclined to believe it is a faulty measure if we had a different ROM not built off stock (AOKP/CM10) that could produce different values. However, I seriously doubt anything built into either of the two custom ROM's is geared toward normalizing that reading. That's why they are both the same as the stock AndroidOS percentages. Jivy is probably right that it's a kernel issue. With the size battery we have, imagine the potential if it is a true reading (androidOS out-of-control) and we can get it under control down the road. We're talking double the current best battery life you've ever had on this phone at the very least.

Get BetterBatteryStats, select Since unplugged and Alarms to see what is waking the device (making it not go into a deep sleep). eBay was a big culprit for me.
The wakelock that keeps the phone awake during background data transfer (screen off) lasts 6 seconds (I am guessing it does it in multiples of 6s) regardless of how long the sync takes. Everytime email, facebook, gmail, drive, picasa, twitter, g+, google maps, ebay, calendar, contacts.. whatever wakes the phone to check something, it will be a minimum of 6 seconds.. This adds up over the course of the day and it is counted in the Android OS. Shut down syncs you don't absolutely want/need and this number will go down. All phones with the Snapdragon S4 Pro has it, especially the Nexus4. It seems they've done some kernel work to fix/reduce it but I havent really looked into it since I don't have that phone. I've seen complaints in the Droid DNA forum as well.

This. EBay for me too. BetterBatteryStats is your friend.
Anyone else experiencing scrolling lag or delay. Clearing cache and wiping dalvik fixes it but the issue returns after about two days.

Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
I've heard varying reports of how long peoples' batteries last, anywhere from 9 hours to 3 days. But what seems to be the common theme is that if you use your phone pretty frequently, you'll get maybe 10 hrs, but if you use the phone sporadically and not for long periods of time, you can expect the phone to last through the day and even maybe the next. But with mine I've found that the battery on average will last me maybe 10 hours, but that's with slight to almost no use. From what people have said online, the screen is what sucks up battery, but when I check with GSam Battery Monitor, my screen never seems to break 30% of my battery use. Apps are what usually take up ~45% of my battery. What's up with this? I don't wanna have to buy that stupid Mugen case, because it apparently sucks, but there are literally no other options to extend my battery... any advice? Will post screenshots. Thanks!

Also, as you can see, the individual app %'s don't add up to the huge number that Apps is taking up... is that related/significant?

It looks normal to me. Usually the people that are saying they get good battery life are the ones that are on a custom Rom and a custom kernel. From my findings the stock Rom especially with the net updates battery life seems to be worse with each update. One really good combination I have run that yields amazing battery life is CM11 and crpalmers kernel. That combination will give amazing battery life. It also depends on what you use your phone for. Judging by your screen shots thing look pretty normal. I would try giving battery guru a go in the market of you want to get some more juice. Let it learn your habits and it will help with you battery life.
You also have to remember as the device ages and you recharge the battery you can't expect it to remain fantastic like the first day you got it. Like anything else they wear down over time and can only go through so many charging cycles.
Or it may just be your battery starting to go bad. Its hard to pin point what may be wrong. It may be as simple as a rogue app. Try some of the suggestions I mentioned above and post back to let us know how your doing. If your not rubbing a custom Rom I recommend switching to one. They are packed with features and the battery life is generally better.
Anyways good luck. Post back if you have any more questions.

100% agree. Especially with the updates leading to worse battery life.
I recently switched to the DNA from an S4. Unlocked and S off'd. Flashed 4.4.2 Rom and immediately noticed how awful battery was in comparison to my Samsung. I actually flashed an older jellybean Rom with Sense 4+ and now I'm experiencing battery life as good as my S4, even though the S4 has a larger battery and newer hardware.

Thanks for the info guys i'll keep that stuff in mind. I've tried several times to S-Off and flash a custom ROM but every time I try, firewater or rumrunner or whatever im using that time always says 'connection failed.' I've been unable to find any fix for why it's failing, so i've kind of given up. Any chance you guys can link to any super simple instructions?
Like I honestly don't understand temproot and those things. thanks!

In general there is a thread titled "am I too late to root" where I tried to explain the process to another poster the best I can.
couldn't hurt to give it a read. Maybe it will help you.

Getting a little stuck... Did the Weaksauce part, and downloaded the firewater file... what do I do now? I copied firewater to my SD card, what command window do I use? I really don't get exactly what to do...

I really don't know how to explain it any better than I did in that thread. On page 2, I wrote a complete step by step..the file goes into your sdk folder and then you run the command while in fast boot..I posted links and all in that thread. I don't know how to help further.
