[Verizon] Possibly outdated

DoctorEyeSight · Jun 5, 2012

Hey all,

I haven't been on here since 3 months. I have been loving my galaxy nexus. Only issue I have is the battery literally dies fast. I have the screen brightness adjusted as well as juice defender installed.

I have the following & my phone is rooted:

Android version 4.0.3

Codename android 1.4.0

Lean kernel 3.0.21

I am probably outdated. Are there any new updates?

Codename is now at version 1.5.0 but hasn't been updated in 3 months and is still 4.0.3 based. Most of the major ROMs are now using a 4.0.4 base (AOKP, Liquid, etc).

Lean Kernel is now at 3.8.0.

Thanks SolidOrange.

Which ROM and kernel is now popular to be used along with android version 4.0.4?

3 months ago it was lean kernel and codename.

i would say that the 2 most popular ROMs at the moment are AOKP and LiquidSmooth. LeanKernel and Franco seem to be the top 2 kernels.

My recommendation would be to ditch juice defender and try it without it.

DoctorEyeSight · Jun 5, 2012

I had it on stock and battery was bad. I then used juice defender and it helped minimally. If I browse videos on YouTube my battery dies within an hour and a half.

Do I need to get it back into stock and then upgrade to 4.0.4 and then add the ROM and Kernel?

no, just make sure to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache (under "advanced") in clockwork before you flash something 4.0.4 based.

What can I do about the battery issue?

+1

As much as I love JD, I used the power tweaks in the ROM and can go all day long now without it.

Sounds about right.

DoctorEyeSight · Jun 12, 2012

About the battery, so what can I do? Juice defender helped minimally.

Use wifi when available.
Turn off 4g when not needed.
Turn down screen brightness.

quickaudi · Jun 16, 2012

and just plug in the phone any time you're near a charger

watching videos on your couch at home next to a plug and not using it is asking for problems

or, you could get one of those hella big batteries...

DoctorEyeSight · Jun 16, 2012

I always use wifi and have my screen set automatic. I always plug phone by a charger and sometimes let it keep charging even when it is Max full. Does this drain battery?

DoctorEyeSight · Jun 18, 2012

My phone kept disconnecting while in call. Was my face touching the end call button? Lately, phone shuts off on its own. Is there a glitch going on?

once it hits max, you can't charge it further, so might as well take it off

check your colors multiplier tuning - should be around .467

also, auto brightness is usually too bright - can you live with it dimmed a little?
