I opened up a bug complaint a while ago, so CDN should know about it.

Looking forward to 1.3.1

were testing 1.3.1 now, just LOWER stock voltages.

he's working through the issues as we speak. keep an eye on review.codenameandroid.com for whats opened and whats merged, one stop shop for commits.

Oh wow, that site is awesome. Thanks for giving me another place to compulsively check every 5 minutes. I wish I was joking.

GPU is already OC'd

Have you seen the post from Google Dev Colin Cross regarding gpu overclocking?

Quote

Most GPU workloads on 4460 with a 720p screen are limited by the
memory bandwidth, not the GPU computation ability (which is fairly
linear with clock speed). With the GPU at 307 MHz, the core is at
OPP100, the and the memory bus is at full speed. At 384 MHz, the core
is at OPP_100_OV, which raises the core voltage (not counting
SmartReflex) from 1.127V to 1.25V, causing a huge increase in power
usage. Without the GPU, the core is almost always running at OPP100
when under load, because CPU OPP100 (700 MHz) requires core OPP100.
That means scaling the GPU from 150MHz to 307MHz costs very little in
terms of power. Nothing else in the chip requires core OPP100_OV, so
scaling the GPU to 384MHz is a pure power hit for very little (or no)
performance gain

Basically, OCing the GPU does not give enough performance benefit to make up for the increased battery drain. In the thread I quoted Imo responds that he purposely keeps the gpu at stock clock for this reason.

Yes and I've seen this topic raised in every kernel thread, bottom line, opp100 opp50 are undervolted in my kernel and most people's which make this comment irrelevant, if I had stock voltage settings then i would agree.

And my kernel gpu is oc'd like 80mhz not 200+ mhz like some others.

Thanks for clearing that up. Keep up the great work!

Blueharford, I posted this idea in the ROM section, but wasn't sure if you would have to do it separately or not so here it is: Text alert for when a ROM is about ready or ready. This would save refreshing the page 500 times a day. Thanks!

@JustifiIf wifi is on than 4g is off. Wifi overrides 4g/3g. Wifi uses far less battery than 4g and 3g. So, as long as you are connected to a wifi network, you are not actually running the phone with all the major battery hogs.

Now if you have wifi on and not connected to a network, than yes you would be using all the battery hogs. But even if you are going in and out of a wifi network than its hard to grasp your battery usage since wifi will drastically effect battery life.

Correct me if I am wrong on this.

Did not know that wifi canceled out 4g/3g. I have in the past turned off wifi except for when I had something to download and I saw battery life increase significantly. I know that's the reverse of wifi over 4g. What is the effect on battery life when wifi is on along with 4g, although the phone can't connect to a known wifi hotspot?

if WiFi is on but can't connect, it will drain the battery because it's searching for a hotspot. Same as if you have the 4G radio enabled in a 3G only area.

Battery life varies so much, thats why all these posts and screen shots are pretty useless. Not sure why people feel the need to brag about their battery life since it will never be the same for 2 people.

If you like your results than that's great.

I use the OG Droid as my benchmark and I must say that the GNex gets better battery life than the OG did, so I am perfectly happy with it.

I post my screenshots because I wonder what other people are experiencing. I share information in the way, I wish others to share. My kernel study of one rom different kernels has been interesting to me. Not everyone will be interested, but there are those that will. My screenshots are for them. I assume anyone not interested can move on to the next post.

I would put more strength on usage variation based on different users, than phones being that different unless it's a phone that's not working properly. I'm particularly interested when people are discussing battery life exceeding 15hrs. I'm interested in how much time were they actually using their phones, what were they doing, deep sleep time, and their settings.

I wasn't bragging, I was stating fact with screenshots verifying my claims. I've given enough information so that someone could try what I did and see, if they get similar results. I could get more specific upon request.
